PUZZLE GENIUS AIDED MANKIND News that Arthur Wynne, inventor of the crossword puzzle, is dead at Clearwater. Fla., will sadden millions who have derived amusement and instruction from addiction to this amusing- pastime. Given to the world more than 30 years ao, the crossword puzzle is still going strong. Thanks to modern facilities for recording events that seem, at the time, of relative unimportance we know who originated the crossword puzzle, but who invented chess, checkers, playing- cards and similar intellectual pastimes ? Their names, are not known because their deathless invenlioMs seemed unimportant to contemporaries. The chroniclers oiAtbose times were busy with battles, sieges, the

Willis, deaths and marriages of royalty. These and similar

wents were the only ones deemed worthy of notice by his-

or.'ans.. , Yet, the games still live while the very names of the

-ings in whose reigns they, were invented have been forgot-

cn. Their inventors assuredly conferred a greater benefit on

nankind than the royal parents of contemporary monarchs.

Vud it is possible that the date of tiie invention of the crossvord ipuzzte may have considerable significance for the his-

onan ot a thousand years hence. It may prove to be a mile-1 tone, in the march of democracy. ' " , " I

CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX Nicky -pi-aetienlly invited suspicion, and s did his twin sister,. ! Alexia. She was young, .Ix-autiful. ' married to a man she flatly declared she had never loved and that man wa.s the father of a man to whom she hud been all but engarjed' and for wiimii, apparently, the still cherished what appeared to be far from a purely stepmotherly rciril. I thought of her kneoliii" beside Craig, and the things she had said. "You knew you always knew I never loved Conrad." And then, . ". . , all that is ended now for us j both, my t'.arling.' Crai? Lidn't exactly said. "Oh, isn't that line, hurrah, my father's dead and you are free!" Still, he hadn't said, t "Don't be a 'fuel, Alexia," c-r even . looked it. Yet there was no real evidence .'.';iinst either Nicky or Alexia. . Nor, as to that, against l'otar Huber or lMiuui Cliivery. Muu 1 had all but run 'the household during the long years of Conrad's widow-, erhood ; it would not have been .unnatural for her to feel a kind of jtalouty for her youtijj supplanter. Alexia. But .Maud fairly exuded an almost belligerent respectability which did not go with the secret, horribly, urgent emotion that find.-'. , its only relief in murder. So I went on to Peter Huber. He had appeared on the scene almost as soon as I had. He had fumbled around about the telephone call to the doctor; he had run straight upstairs at the sound of something falling and had disappeared. And while he was no relation and so couldn't profit directly by Conrad Brent's death (as all of the others might conceivably do, even the Chiverys) he might have a motive if he were in love with Alexia. Yet ' certainly no num is going to murder a woman's husband without ,: makintr sure that he's coin;' to get

'the woman and (if I had eyes in

my head) it wasn't Peter Alexia wanted; it was Craig, and Craig knew it. Besides, Peter Huber was only a friend happening to be there aa ah innocent bystander does happeh to be on the spot.

J lr. Claud Chivery remained. He . had prescribed the medicine which might have some as yet unsuggested significance; and somewhere in the history i of that long friendship between the Chiverys and the Brents might lie seeds for murder. But again there was no evidence. I It had grown dusk as I stood . there, although the sky was still i light, so 1 realized later that, on ' the. little ridge, I was silhouetted

from below against the dear gray

light. A lemon-colored star came out above the eastern hills. It was colder, too, so I pulled my cape more tightly around me and pulled the hood over my head. And it was jut then that I heard somebody running heavily across the meadow toward lie. Something buzzed sharply through the dusk over my head; I heard that before the crack of the shot. I fell upon my hands and knees behind the stone wall just as both sound came again. Whoever

was running there in. the meadow and vividly checked coat were un

reached the rock wall a few feet

away and began to scramble over it. Just then another shot whizzed lower, over my head and the stone wall. And I knew that the 'scrambling figure was at least thirty feet from me, but that the 'shots came from somewhere in the darkening, irregular meadow below, possibly from the wooded valley which seemed to yutline the bed of a small stream. W hoever crawled over the stone wall had ducked; at least no figure emerged from the shadow- of rock and shrubs, Suddenly a small automobile whirled around the bend in the road and began to climb the little ridge, its lights streaming ahead. I crept out, running low in the shelter of" the rock wall End into those welcome lights and stopped tiie car. In it was Dr. Chivery. He leaned out to look at me incredulously as. keeping the car between me and the .dusky mead jw, 1 approached. "Mis Kente . . ." "Somebody's shooting at me! From the meadow!" Another figure loomed up from the shelter of the wall and it was the maid Anna. Her braids had slipped over one ear, giving her a rakish air which almost belied the terror in her eyes. She gasped, "Doctor please, sir someone's shoot nig in the meadow!" Neither Dr. Chivery nor I spoke; in iiie little glow from the dashlight his chin retreated still further and his slightly popped eyes seemed

to take on a kind of reflection oil

the terror in the maid's face. Then Anna caught a long, rasping breath and said, still panting, "I mean shooting rabbits, I suppose, sir. I I was walking in the meadow, when I I heard someone in the brush along along the brook. It it frightened me. I I ran . . ." Her eyes shifted to me and back to the doctor. "And just then as 1- got to the wall the shots began." , She paused again, then said, "Doctor, would you mind taking me back to the house? I I'm late. Beevens . . ." Without' a word Dr. Chivery reached back, swung open the door to the rear scat, ami I got in and so did Anna. Still silent, he turned and started back for the Brent place. He took us to the house, up the winding drive to the front door, where he deposited us. ' I thanked him and he drove off with, it seemed to me, that queer reflection of terror still in his eyes. Annn hurried to open the door

for me. She had caught her breath and straightened the blonde braids around her head. "Who was in the meadow, Anna?" "I don't know, Miss." So I let her go. v But she knew as well as Idid that our hunter wasn't shooting at rabbits. It was too dark to have taken a good potshot at anything smaller than a liorse or a human, silhouetted against the gray sky. I glanced in the morning room where Nicky was reading. His back was toward me but his small head

mistakable. However I felt about him, it couldn't have been Nicky shooting at rabbits or at me. Nobody else was around and I went to my room, took off my cape, and again cast my mind back over the few things I knew of the murder of Conrad Brent. After a while I had to give up; if those shots had been intended to remove me and at the same time any clue in my possession, 1 didn't know what that clue was. I didn't go in to see Drue for, a little belatedly, 1 bethought myself of my patient and the fact that he had been presumably alone, with Dr. Chivery dashing about the roads in his little car and Anna fleeing from bullets in the meadow. On the way to his room I stopped and told the trooper on guard in the hall what had happened. So I went on to Craig's room where I found Peter Huber with him, both talking of Chivery. "Who does he think did it?" asked Peter as I entered the room and Craig looked at ioj, said "Hello, Miss Kente, ".-and replied to Peter. "He says he doesn't know. He says it had to be somebody that knew about digitalis. How much to give and how. He says you've got to give enough to cause a heartblock; as it docs, right away. If you give toe little there are all kinds of symptoms of poisoning nausea and convulsions and but that isn't what happened." Craig took' a quick' breath and went on hurriedly, "Claud has been looking it, up in his reference books." He frowned. "Ho says he doesn't know who did it. But . . ." "But what, Craig?" "Oh. Nothing. . . ." He paused again, frowned into space and said, "If only 1 could get up and about! If I could even find out who it was that gave me this. . . ." His fingers touched the bandage on his temple. "I didn't see anybody I didn't even hear anything. . . . Look, Pete, scout around a little, will you? Find out, if you can, exactly who was up and nbout till midnight or shortly before. Find out what happened at dinner. ..." , "Nothing happened at dinner," said Peter. "I was there." A touch of exasperation crossed Craig's face. "You'd better go now, Mr. Huber," I suggested, eyeing the tinge of scarlet that was coming up in Craig's lean cheeks. "Wait, not yet, Nurse," said Craig quickly., "Listen, Pete, keep your eyes open and tell me if you see anything out of the way. And and another thing," Craig hesitated, shot me an oblique glance and said, "Look through the house and See if you can find some yellow gloves. Loose biggish. Don't let anybody know and if you find them, bring them here." Peter nodded "Okay." And then I sent him away. But Craig said no more of the mysterious yellow gloves and, still aware of his condition, I didn't ask further questions. (To be continued) CopnitM br llltnon Q.

RUSSIA'S WINTER OFFENSIVE continues to monopolize the headlines as three great Red armies plunge closer and closer to Berlin, now less than 200 miles away. This map shows the latest Red thrusts in East Prussia and Silesia. The historic Hindenburg- shrine city of Tannenberg fell to the Reds in a new 16-mile lunge into southern East Prussia.' The Oder river became the focal point for what may be the biggest battle of the second World war for it is this barrier that the Russians must breach for the final drive on the Roicli capital. High ground on the western banks of the Oder gives the Germans command of the approaches to the Reich. (International)
