HONEYMOON MURDER

CHAPTER I —l—- — summer home called Lovell Terrace was one of the most effective on Long Island, and Its simple, straight lines were far more suggestive of cool, pleasant afternoons than were neighboring bouses surrounded by elaborate gardens and fancy hedges. That Is. as to Its front lawns. At the back there were flowers a-plenty, and now. In early October, there were chrysanthemums, golden glow, cosmos, and other autumn blooms, which mingled with the sumac and asters until the place was a mass of color. The bouse itself had a great front expanse, with columns from pediment to porch, whose main rectangle bad wings connected by covered passages so large as to be really rooms. In the garden, two girls were walking: Perllla Fairfax, daughter of the house, who would become a bride tomorrow, and Hilda Sheldon, who would be her maid of honor. “Just think. 1111. this is the last day Lovell Terrace will be my home!" "Nonsense, your home as much as •ver! You’ll have twd homes, that’s •IL Three, In fact, when you get your city home in shape." •All the homes 1 want, anyway. Ton know. I’m marrying" Corey for his money, that's all." "Os course. 1 know.

Malden was older than bis brlde-to->e. He was about thirty-eight, while Perllla was twenty-four. Yet for some su Devoted His time to an Intensive Study of the Religions of the World. reason, they had from their first meet Ing fell a congeniality of tastes ant opinions, which had quickly grown to friendship and as quickly on to love. And on the following day they were to be married, and , their intimate friends found It hard to say which of the two seemed the happier at the prospect Malden, extremely rich, thought of his money only to give It to others or use It himself for pleasure or profit, never for ostentation. Perllla. beautiful but not vain, cared for her beauty only because It pleased her fiance, and brought her the loving praise of his Ilf* and eyes. A handsuitrt- man was Corey Malden living In Richmond, where be well suit ed the role of country gentleman He longed for the day when be would take his lonely bride tn Virginia, and though Perllla was not at all like a southern girl she would bold her own with the best of them. For though John Ixwell, owner of Lovell Terrace, was ■ southerner, be was not the father of Perllla. She was the child of Mrs. U»vell and her first bushhnd. I’harles Fairfax. Os a ro mantle nature, she had named the baby ’ Perllla. and her other child, a boy. Malcolm The two Fairfax children had grown up happily and at peace with the fam lly. and two years after the death of their father, they had accepted a new parent with calm approval and goodnatured welcome. Malcolm, though two years older than Perllla. had no romantic leanings and looked upon her wedding as • joke. Perllla. on the other hand, was making a solemn ritual of it. and Malcolm guyed her for It. “Well, my turtle doves." be said, coming round the corner of the bouse, “not ready yet to change-your plans •nd give up your mistaken IdeasF "Not yet.

Malden, too. had fallen victim to her charms at once, and their courtship had been rapid ai 1 sincere. The parents had approved the match, for though Lovell was a stepfather, be always took an Interest In the doings of bis wife's children, and was often consulted about them. The outlook, then, for the wedding the next day seemed In every way favorable, and preparations were practically completed. "You don't seem a bit flustrated." said Hilda, shaking her blond curls as she looked at Petllla; “you ought to be nervous and almost hysterical." “Why?" asked the bride to be. “Mum Is overseeing everything, and she's a marvel of an overseer. Oh. here’s Mr. GaskelL Hello. Mr. Best Man! Corey, tell everybody who’s who." Malden made Introductions all round, and the newcomer fitted himself into the circle. “Call me Tony," he said. "Makes me feel more at home, and then. It’s such a pretty name!" "It Is a pretty name." protested PerIlla. “1 mean. It’s a Jolly name, one of the sort 1 like." "Yes. I know," smiled Gaskell, “like Pete and Billy and such. Me for Marmaduke and Reginald." “You and 1 are rather out of IL Malcolm," said Malden, looking downcast, but Perllla slipped her hand Into his, and said, “Be it understood, plainly, that there Is no name In the world so beautiful as Corey. 1 have spoken." “Speak again." begged Gaskell, “1 like to hear you talk." “You don’t have to urge her," jsald Malcolm. "Prll Is a chatterbox." “Thank Heaven for that." and Malden laughed; "it relieves me of a lot of responsibility. I hate to talk “Listen to him!" exclaimed Tony. “I’ve known that guy for years, and as a talker he’s a complete radio outfit." “How come you’ve known him so long," asked Hilda, “and yet you’ve never been here before?" ? ' “1 havcPbun here before, fair lady, but by 111 chance, you were not here at, the same time." “I couldn’t get old Tony here very often," said Maiden’s soft, southern voice.

Mr. Gaskell." cried Jane, “how nice of you to come! 1 was afraid you wouldn't and I’d have to take on your duties, too, and I’ve Just all 1 can attend to!" Jane, the secretary, was bubbling over with good-humored smiles. Without any effect of presumption, she was the friend of the family, the helper In al) social duties or courtesies, and the general assistant of Terilla and her mother. “There, there. Mona Lisa," said Malcolm. “you’ve delivered your message, run along now. and we’ll follow.” Jane, laughing, ran along, turning to wave her hand as she went “Peach of a secretary." declared Tony. “Didn’t know they grow like that!" “She’s a dear.” said Perllla. “Some girls would be spoiled by o«tr foolery, but she takes It beautifully. Malcolm calls her those foolish names, because "I’ll tell it," her brother Interrupted. "You see. Jane looks Just like a picture 1 once saw in some gallery. So I call her all the pictures I can think of, noping some time I'll hit the right one and recognise It" “I’m to help you,” said Perllla. looking dismayed. "What will you ever do without me. Malky?** “Don’t worry, darling. It Isn’t one of the things that matter. Come on, now, didn’t you hear the summons?" Perllla walked ahead between Corey and Tony, while Hilda came after with Malcolm. "1 really think that this time Hilda and Malcolm will hit it off.” said Perilla, musingly. “I do hope so.” “How like a woman!” said Tony. “No sooner does one get married, than she plans a wedding for a friend. (They do look well together, though.” "Yes.” Corey agreed, “but that platinum blond hair of Hilda’s would look well with anybody’s." "Mine?” asked Tony. “But, after all. i think 1 prefer the picturesque Jane." “Picturesque, according to Malcolm," agreed Perllla. Jjile teases that girl terribly, and ypt/she never seems annoyed at “But that/isn’t teasing,” said Corey. “She Is like a picture, not one definite picture, your know, but " "A whole film.” suggested Tony. “However, 1 didn't come here to discuss the little secretary. Any other guests tonight. Perllla?" “Only a couple of ushers. Two friends of Malcolm's. Pete Wilson and Bob Coles. Know them?" “No, not yet. But 1 know you like their names.” “Yes, I do. 1 suppose you think I’m a silly to like silly names." "1 think you everything there Is of the most glqrlous,*’ declared Tony, and Malden chimed In. “That's right, old top. Glorious Is just the word for my Perllla. And 1 want you two to like each other a heap, for you two are Just about the only real friends 1 have." "Why, Corey?" and the girl’s voice was wondering. “You never told me that before." "Oh. he doesn’t mean It literally," and Gaskell laughed. "There are lots of men In his home town who would gladly be more friendly than be likds >-yes. and lots of fair .maidens who gladly be bride to the young Lochinvar." •WelL they've lost their chance," Perllla said, "the girls. I mean. But Corey can have all the men friends be wants.” They reached the house and went in the lounge, a great room, with the most comfortable furnishings that could be devised.

"It’s really absurd for me to ask you such a thing," she went on, “as my fear is imaginary, and 1 know interference would be useless." Ellen Lovell was a lino looking woman. Not only her serene, beautiful face attracted attention, but her graceful | manner and especially het soft, low voice charmed all who met her.

Tony, whether you think me silly or not, I want you to speak to Corey j about this, before they start Tonight, perhaps, might be better than to wait till tomorrow.

"I don’t care how you word It. Just make it clear that 1 am afraid for my girl, if he goes so fast.

Mrs. Lovell, and I will tell him and ask him just what you suggest If he Is offended. It will be with me, not with you." “Oh. thank you, Tony. You’ve lifted a weight from my heart. Os course, I have spoken to him about this, lots of times, but that’s just the trouble, ’ A thing you harp on like that loses all power of persuasion; the same subject brought up by another has far more force." “Yes. but you know old Corey is going to see through us.

Sr Up erwjte , ©Scl<t&e® Service.—WNU servtc* Future Program of Crop Control to Seek Increase 171'.'I 71 '.' Production Limitation Doomed: Livingston ITHACA, N. Y.—While potato growers have been making "hot news” of their wishes for smaller crops and larger profits, apparent reluctance on of the AAA, chemical industry is looking forward to a time when a controlled agriculture will be "adjusting” its production in the opposite direction. in order to feed factories that will be even hungrier for corn and cotton than pigs and people are. A glimpse of this coming alliance between Industry and agriculture was given at Cornell university here in an address by L. F. Livingston, president of the American society of Agricultural Engineers; Speaking of the AAA program. Mr. Livingston said, “It was a situation without precedent, yet such was the emergency that something of the sort was mandatory to check the economic collapse of one-half the people.” , • Emergency Is Passing. But the emergency phase of crop' reduction to prevent ruinously low prices for farm products is already passing, he continued. The tide is setting the other way. thanks largely to the need of Industrial plants for raw materials from the land to be worked up into manufactured gpbds through the processes ot organic chemistry. And new chemical inventions now in the experimental stage will increase this demand many fold, doing all sorts of things, from building roads out of cotton to making “dry ice” out of by-products of the industrial fermentation of corn. Even now, more than 10 per cent of the corn crop has as its market the factory, Mr. Livingston said, and "uses for corn are being urged that. If adopted, would consume the entire present crop without leaving one ear for one lowa hog." Science Is Key to Future. Scientific research, the S|»eaker indicated, is the key to the chemical hook up between industry and the farm of the future. The great industrial firms are bringing their research resources to bear on farm problems, joining forces with the research work of fed eral and state governments, which have long been in the field. The industrialists are doing this because they realize that the farmer Is not only a prime source of raw materials for their plants but also because it has become Inescapably evident that the great farm market is indispensable to a stable industrial prosperity. "We are in the early dawn of a new golden era in agriculture. The first signs of that dawn are already streaking the sky.” Yale Plans Opening of Babylonian Contract Sealed 3,900 Years Ago NEW HAVEN, CONN. —A contract written and sealed in an envelope by Babylonian parties 3.900 years ago has arrived in America, and will be opened. At Yale university, where the Impressive document Jias come to the Baby lonian Prof. Ferris J. Stephens announced that some qualified scholar will open the large, wellpreserved clay envelope and remove the clay tablet Inside, to study the ancient contract. The- Yale collection has also ob tained a piece of Babylonian writing unique In present knowledge of that country. This Is the original copy for a personal seal, for the engraver to use. Just as today an order might be written to show an engraver how to letter some calling card* The Baby lonian who ordered this seal wrote on a small clay memorandum the words he wanted copied, not in cursive script, but In monumental script. "Inscriptions on seals presented more than ordinary difficulty to the en graver," explained Professor Stephen* “for they must be cut In mirror writing In order to produce the proper impression when they are impressed on a soft clay tablet “While this copy is written with the signs in their norma) positions, there are traces of the practice strokes of the engraver on the edge of the tablet, where he produced a few of the more difficult signs In mirror writing."

Safety Congress Opens War on Dangerous Toys Cites Many Accidents at Yuletide and Fourth TT IS quite timely and appro * priate to talk about Christmas and Fourth of July even now. At least, it is timely to talk about the thousands of children killed or badly hurt by death-dealing toys put in their hands on those festive days, for serious attention is being given to the matter. Lewis H. Carris. managing director of the National Society for the Prevention of Blindness, made a strong plea for safe toys, before the National Safety congress. In Louisville. Ky. In the grim total of 29.000 children and young people killed last year by various kinds of accidents, toys were one notable cause, he pointed out. And for every fatal accident, there are about 25 other serious accidents, making an appalling army of hurt, maimed, blinded, and disfigured children. Compile Accident Total* Right now, said Mr. Carris. a staff of ten people In New York provided by the WPA Is busily recording and analyzing casualties of the past Fourth of July. The American Museum of Safety is in charge of the work, and various health agencies are co-operat-ing. And—the fireworks manufacturers themselves are financing the work. They are. said Mr, Carris, at last beginning to realize the gravity of the situation. "Since the study is still under way,” he added. “1 am not at liberty to report findings officially or in detail. I understand, however, that there are already in hand reports of more than a score of persons who were killed and more than G.OOO were injured as a result of the celebration of the past Fourth of July with fireworks, firearms. and bonfires.” Many Eye Injuries. Close to cases of eye injury are Included In these souvenirs of the last Fourth, Mr. Carris was fold. Ambng these are children who have last both eyes celebrating American independence. others with various degrees of injury to their sight, he pointed out, adding: "This is too high a price to pay for reminding our children that we once were a colony of England.” Toy manufacturers, as well as the makers of fireworks, are cooperating with safety agencies, hut there is still some lack of agreement as to what are suitable toys. Mr. Carris finds. “I havje in my hand,” he said, "what is called ‘A Suggestive List of Toys by Age Groups,’ prepared by the Toy Manufacturers of the U. S. A., Ine., which recommends, among the other things, popguns for children one and one-half years of aga; 'shooting games’ for children three to four years of age; air rifles and motorcycles for eight-year-olds. “1 cannot agree that these are safe toys for children of these ages.” Doctors Seek Curb on Mentally Unbalanced Leaders of Nations LONDON. — Some great nations are today, being led by men known to be mentally unbalanced. This is the charge made by Dr. H. J. of the psychiatry section. Royal Society of Medicine, who. however, did not name names, hut made his Implications clear. - Already action has been taken by tl.e Medical Association of the Netherlands, which has formed a committee to study the vita) problem of curbing such unstable leader? tn their tendency to urge the world toward war. Doctor Norman indicated. The group is known as the committee for war prophylaxis, medical term for war prevention. Said Doctor Norman: "When we look about In the world we can still appreciate how applicable is the saying of the great Doctor Johnson when he pointed out ‘As a madman is apt to think of himself as grown suddenly great, so be that grows suddenly great Is apt to borrow a little from the madman.’ “There are at the present time individuals holding projuinent positions and Influencing the destinies of whole ccuntries who are known to be. mentally unstable or who have actually had attacks of mental disorder,” declared L>octor Norman. "It Is not unreasonable to hope that safeguards may somehow be set up so that such Conditions will not recur in :Le future.” Doctor Norman indicated the formation of the Dutch medical committee on. war prophylaxis as a first attempt to bring the hope to realization. Hearing Is Dull After Heavy Luncb at Noon HAMILTON. N. Y.—Heavy noon lunches make you a bit hard of hearing, Dr. Donald Laird, psychologist of this city, reports. Doctor Laird has been carrying on tests of a number of mental functions, on subjects who have "prepared” themselves by eating a heavy meaL The period of half-<*owsy sluggishness that follows upon depletion seems to impair sharpness of sight, and perhaps of touch as weiL he reports; though data on the latter two senses are not fully worked out as yet. Comparative tests were made on the hearing of subjects who bad eaten heavy noon lunches, and later on the same persons after a light "dairy” lunch of cereal. It was found that their perception for a test sound was 35.7 per qent better on the light-meal than on tat* heavy-ureal days. Practical applications are suggested by Doctor Laird: “The salesman who has a noisy used automobile to demonstrate could make the noise appear less If he took the prospect out in it after bis big meal of the dgy.”

Who Are You? 88 The Romance of Your Name By RUBY HASKINS ELLIS An Alexander? THE surname Alexander is derived *rom two Greek words meaning “to aid or help, a powerful auxiliary." - The Alexander family, according to antiquaries, was originally a branch <rf the MacDonalds, for Alexander Mac* Donald, younger son of the Lord of the Isles, obtained a grant of lands tn the county of Clackmanan where he made his residence and his descendants took the name of Alexander as a surname. In the reign ot James V, Andrew Alexander married Catherine Graham. His son Alexander married Elizabeth, the daughter of Sir Robert Douglas. After two generations we find William Alexander tutor to the earl of Argyle. gUexanber who appeared at the court ot James i of England, and by him was knighted in 1614. It was he who personally conducted the colonization of Noya Scotia >in America, for which service the king made him a grant of the province. In 1625 tie was made governor in chief of Nova Scotia, and Charles 1. to encourage colonization there, created an order of baronets, and made William Alexander viscount and earl. Scottish Alexanders of the same line came to. America and settled on large • tracts of land on the Potomac river. The city of Alexandria near, Washington takes its name from this distinguished family. A great general of Jhe Revolutionary war was William Alexander, whose patriotic services in the war and especially In the Battle of la>ng Island. 1776. are records of remarkable bravery. He was also known as Lord Stirling. having Inherited this title from Scottish forbears, dating back for many generations. The Virginia Alexanders in this country began with John, who came from Scotland in 1659 and settled In Stafford county. He married Tabitba Smart The Colonial and Revolutionary roster records many by the name of Alexander who were loyal to their country-In time of war. Robert Alexander (1720-83) was a founder of the first classical school west of the Blue Ridge, later named Washington and Lee university. Alexanders in the New England states were represented by George. settled In Windsor. Conn., and Robert, a native of Scotland, who was living in Boston In 1684. • • • A G’bsqn ? THE name Gibson means “the son of Gib” or "the son of Gilbert.” Several families of this name followed James 11. of Scotland, in the settlement of Ireland in 1663, and during his long reign others settled on the lands in the Province of Ulster I- ~ n WB I ’ Ola .k! Gibson in the north ot Ireland. So it is that most Americans of this name are of Scotch-Irish extraction. Amon/ the first Gibsons to found the family In this country was John, who came to New England in 1631 and settled at Cambridge. Mass. In 1637 he became a free man Another settler was Richard Gibson, a clergyman of Portsmouth. M. H-, in 1637. William Gibson was a resident of Lynn, Mass., in 1665. e Public Led Ker.
