" Yor don't look happy," said a man to a neighbour who was just coming ! down the steps of his house one cold rooming.

Me thought it very suspicious, and fetched tho inspector, who had the thing removed to the police station, where it was bioken open and a bottle found inside. It was then all taken te tho Home Office, and the btull in the bottle analysed and found to be 'a clear, colomlcsd liijuid,' so the whole tiling was scut to Woolwich to be destroyed."
