Rlnjcland. never In cod health, at la.t gradually icauk"iiway and died. What he died of no oue knew, fur he was too mean to have a doctor. He was burled, ami hU wife proceeded to tiike posses sion of his estate. One day Krnest A. Parsons received at his club through the mall a note aljrned Julia Klnalsnd. of whom he had uever'heard. In It she admitted that she loved him. but would not per mit him to be near her so loug an her hosband lived. The note ended with the alnele word Walt." It hapjned that there was another Pannius lu the dub. lid ward A. Par sons. The note had been addre?wel to C A. I'arsous aud had fallen Into the wnmj hands. The Parons who re celled It talkctl about It. IU existence rearheil the ran of Peter Itlngland's relatives, and they accused the widow of builiuc poisoned her husband. The i bodv was exhumisj. the stomach ana lyzed and anscnlc fonnd In uutllclent ouantlty to kill several men. The note and the arsenic were the maiu points on which the prosecuting attorney ae cureil a conviction. My proving Mrs. Illngland'a luno cence deluded solely upon one ioint her husband must have taken ar senk- without the knowledge of any one else. The attorney for the defense had taken this position, but could ad duce uo proof that Rtngland had ever bought a grain of arsenic lu his life II had Investigated every drufc store tn the suhurltan town In which Itlng land had lived, but not one had ever sold the drug to the decease I. One dsy a osslble solution to the problem occurred to me. Rlngland was m atlngy that he might have Uught the drug wholesale. The theory was certainly farfetched, but I determined to Inveetlxate the wholesale druggists thoroughly. There were five of theui In the city. I went to all of them aud asked If they bad had any account with Peter Itlngland. Not one of them had ever had such au account on Its book. Itcddea, tbey would not have sold the goods to auy one ut In the drug business, certainly not at the wholesale price. Since I had made up my tnlnd that provtnjr Itlngland's pur chase of the drug himself was the only ioslhle way of establishing his wid ow's innocence. I determined to push further In ray Investigations. Was It not jiosslble that Itlngland bad hud the drug seut to him under an assume! name? I requested every wholesale drug atore In tht city to make up a state ment of all the arsenic It had sold In the town where Itlngland had lived within two years prior to his death. There were a number of quautltlea of arsenic on one of the statements that had been billed to the Rldgewood pharmacy. The Items arrested my at tention, for the articles were all arsenic. I Inquired for the Rldgewood pharmacy and was told that It did not exist and never had existed. Then I knew 1 had found what I had been hunting for. I atlll had to produce proof that Itlngland had received the goods. I had the matter hunted up at the ex press 21ce and found receipts for package signed "The Rldgewood Phar macy, per P. R.. In Peter Rlngland's Land writing. The date of shipment aud the receipts accorded exactly. Armed with this erldeiice. the lawyer who had defended Mrs. RIngland In court, working with me, secured a pardon for her, the only means availa ble of doing her Justice, or, rather, of getting ber -out ef prison. There are no words or phrases capable of ex pressing her ftratltude to me. Once out of prison. Mr. RIngland went to work to discover a reason for her husband's taking arsenic and learn ed that many years before, when much run down In health. It had been recom mended to him. Later, when in the same condition, he had prescribed It to himself. From tho time of the accuslag of Mrs. RIngland. Edward Parsons kept la the background, there being noth ing be could do bat deny amy knowl edge of any evil Intent on the part of the accused. Her life was a bitter one till I brought forth the evidence that Indicated the lady. A year after the pardon he married her. This convinc ed the tongue wagger that after all she was guilty, and Mr. and Mrs. Par sons left the country to take up their 4re side nee la South America. F.DWARD 8. SPINNEY. PV Yoif Bills.
