Serial Story—

MURDER IN PARADISE

- By Marguerite Gahagan

THE STORY — School teacher Mary O'Connor's heart goes out te young Jeanie ' Morris, left alone with stern but kindly old Liza Holmes, maid, by the mysterious murder of her aunt,

"Miss Millie. This, and the earlier mur-

der of handsome Herbert Cord, who had courted Jeanie for two summers only to bring Margie Dixon to Paradise Lake

this year as his fiancee, have the quiet

. talk of local editor Tod Palmer,

resort agog. Miss Millie had been one of its oldest residents, along with innkeeper Chris Gordon, mother, pooh-poohs the inquest’s conclusion that gangster Stush Veretti murdered Cord, although reporter Dennis Flynn, an old flame of Mary's assigned to the case, is inclined to believe he did. Maudie discovered both bodies, - snd knows more than she is revealing. Jeanie tells Mary of a mysterious: romance in Miss Millie's pasf. Then they obviously interested in Jeanie.

CHAPTER TWELVE MAUDIE WAS getting back to her old self, but it didn't take too much coaxing to keep her in bed for another day. The past week had really given her enough thrills for a while and I guess she realized

she wasn't as young and chipper as|S

she would have liked to believe.

She still refused to discuss the|#

finding of the boat and Miss More ris. “There’s nothing more to tell,” she answered tartly. “I've told you

again and again all there is to tell.”

Denny and I didn’t believe her. She was abrupt with us both and became more petulant every time he reported new developments, The police in town had put Stush Veretti through. a tough grilling, but there was still no confession, Additional people had been found who had seen him around the lake the evening of the crime—a gas sta~ tion attendant, a lunch room clerk; and a farm boy who had given him directions. ‘Denny said they'd undoubtedly hold him even though they hadn't found the gun that had fired the 32-caliber slug into Herbegt Cord’s back. o be sure, the murder of Miss M had, to put it mildly, thrown the Cord case into some confusion. The State Police felt they had things nearly solved until the second murder and then, Denny confessed, they were faced ‘with two possibilities. Ph “There may be two separate and distinct killings. And coming .at the same time and place may be ust coincidence. Stush could still ve rubbed Cord out, ‘and then someone else put the K. O, on Miss Morris, or a nut is wandering around loose and knocked them: both

Either possibility was unpleasant to contemplate and I wished something would happen to bring about

a speedy solution. The second kill-|

ing had resulted in a nice state of hysteria around the lake, The gloomy weather the past day hadn’t helped people's nerves either.
