Honeymoon “Murder”! CAROLYN WELLS Copyright by Carolyn Well*. WNU Service. CHAPTER IX—Continued “Tin going Stone, Ignoring the departing dame. **l think. Mra. Malden, it I* time we hurried thing* a little. That woman mean* business, and while she can’t really harm you she can make you a deal of unpleasantness. And that Farman person Is all there is of unholy Intent He means to stir up trouble with all his might •I want to tell you that 1 have a new line of Investigation started, and if it works out we have a great deal of hope, but If It proves impossible we are not well off.” “Oh. Mr. Stone, do bring it about! I am so anxious and worried. That Farman is ready for war to the knife. We must circumvent him—” “And we will." Stone spoke more assuredly than be bad any right to do. He left then, and went to see bls old time friend, Doctor Simpson, perhaps the most famous toxicologist in the -country. “My, but Tm glad to see you F Simpson exclaimed, shaking Stone's hand. “Do tell me you have a problem for me,.a regular sticker!" “1 sure have a problem that's a sticker." Stone returned, “but I don’t know whether it’s for you. Can you explain away miracles? “Os course, since they don’t exist" “No, but problems do, and sometimes they look as impossible a* miracles. I wish I had a good old-fashioned murder. committed by a mad five feet ten Inches tall, with blue eyes and » gold tooth and a Trlcbinopoly cigar!" "Too don’t wish anything of the sort; It would bore you to tears. You want the awful nut to crack that you have, and that you can’t even get Into the nutcracker’s jaws." "You’re right And now, if you’ll manipulate the nutcracker, well go right ahead. How doe* this sound? Two murders.’’ ' "Simultaneous?" “No, a month apart" “Similar method F “As far a* I can see, ye*. But I can’t see far." "Similar motive?" ■Same answer a* before.* “Similar opportunity?" "Really, yea; though it doesn’t look on." “Expound, fully." So Fleming Stone first told old Simps, as be exiled hl* friend, all he knew of the Malden murder. "Why do you call it a morderF asked the old mam “That’s the miracle part If it isn’t a murder, wbat is ItF “A natural deathF “That’s where you come in. What sort of natural death would occur in those circumstances I’ve described?" "AutopayF “Na" “Embalmed F “Yea" “Not so good. Well, when do *e examine bimF “Whenever you like. But listen to the other murder, if any." And then Slone gave a full account of the death of Bob Coles. When Simpson heard the detail of death in a locked room, be rubbed bls bands in satisfaction. 4 “Secret passageF he asked first “No. nor any of the other regular and orthodox explanation*.

An al chemi st F X “Well, can you do all 1 asked, if it will save an Innocent young womans arrest, and probably trial and possibly conviction F “Whew! That sounds serious." “It is serious. Listen." Stone sketched a brief history of the inimical side, showed bow bitter and venomous the Malden faction was, and coon extracted Simpson’* promise to go at the business with all possible <B» patch. “It’s too unbelievable.” Simps rum tented. "Potoon it’* got to ba bacause it can’t ba anything else. But ‘Wbat poison? Thera can’t bn a new poison available that no one knows anything about There can’t be a reno trace whatever.

Simps." “I don’t apprehend a new poison. Stone. If It is poison, it is a new way of using It. or an ingenious method of application—oh. well, when we have the post mortem* we'll know." CHAPTER X “And you’ll make all the haste possible?" said Fleming Stone. “Os course,” replied Doctor Simpson. "You know that without my telling you." You’ll have to be here; my eyes are not all they used to be, and I don’t want to drag In outsiders." “I wish you'd give me a bint of what way you're looking." “Can’t do It. boy. At least, not now. I’ll call you as soon as I can use you. Day after tomorrow likely." “I wish you could keep that poor girl out of trouble. Mr*. Malden, I mean.” "Poor child. Til do all I can.

To Stone’s disappointment they had not amounted to much, but a sudden thought bad turned his attention back to the mas* of document*. Hastily he ran over letters from friend* of Corey Malden, as well a* small scrap* of memoranda or cold notes written by the same people, yet not In any way connected with Jhe matter in hand. Yet be studied them all with meticulous care, and sorted them Into neat piles of corresponding penmanship. “There it is." he said to himself, "as plain a* day. No chance of mistaking IL" He .reached for a good sized book from the shelves behind him and read the marked paragraph* over. .- "This i* the sign of a love or large sums of money, and its prevalence in handwriting has to be carefully estimated.

And your man who wrote It may seem the *oul of honesty, the most punctilious of financiers. And be la in small or medium matters. But give him a chance at a really big haul, and see him fall for it!" “All graphologists know of this fact, of course?" “Oh. yes; and many laymen.” Stone showed Miss Curry a few letters he wanted to know about, and then, the Interview over, he went home. “Guess I’ll have to study up on it a bit," be told himself. He went over bis letters and paper again. He bad told Bob to get all possible bit* of bandwriting done by anyone connected wltb the case, and he had also told him to cut off all names or addresses, which would help to Identify them. Moreover, he found that two of the speclmena by different handa both bore that strange o broken at the base. One of these be knew to be that of the lawyer. Farman. It would be plausible enough to think that Farman vfas eager tor a large sum of money, but far from likely that he stood any chance of getting it If he proposed to loot the Malden coffers be would have to get up very early in the morning. The other one was too ridiculous to think about Might as well suspect Perilla herself. He continued his task of reading over the letters. It might be possible, he thought that Miss Curry's information should add some little light on the dark outlook. The names of the men he sought for were almost never mentioned. He discovered the minor fact that Roger Garth studied to be a doctor before be decided to be a lawyer. Also, a note added In Bob’s band stated that Tony Gaskell bad worked in a chemical laboratory many years ago, and that Bob himself wished he might do the same. It was then that Stone concluded to go to see Mr*. Colea He felt be ought to do so anyway, but he hoped to learn something pertinent to Bob or Bob’* work. To bls surprise and satisfaction he found the lady was visiting friends in New York and therefore be need not go to Philadelphia. It was not such a long journey, but Stone’s time was valuable, and he had a lot to do. So after telephoning tor an appointment to call, the detective went that afternoon to see Bob’s mother. He found a sweet-faced, fair-haired little lady who greeted him with a sad smile. “I am glad to see you,” she said, “because Bob bad grown very fond of you. He had thought of being a doctor or rather a chemical expert—l don’t know just wbat they call them—but he changed entirely and wanted only to be a detective." “I wish he might have done so,” Stone responded. “I should have been glad and proud to have him tor my assistant “You won’t mind If 1 ask you some questlona will youF Stone said. “I know you want to know the truth, whatever it may be." "Why, 1 do know it" said Mrs. Colea In evident astonishment “I know my boy I* dead. Wbat more is there to knowF “You're satisfied that bls was a natural death?" "Oh, yea Wbat else could it be? Surely nobody would want to kill my boy I That would be too absurd. Why should anyone do that Mr. StooeF "I don’t say anyone did, but we detective* have to look at things from all sldea you know.” "Well," said Mra Colea “If you want to question me, go right ahead. But please don't say my Bobby was —killed. I can stand the loss of my boy. my dear one, but I couldn’t stand It to think be was—was killed F “Os course." Stone said, in agreement “He was generally well, though, wasn’t heF “Oh, yea that But the doctor told me that heart disease Is unusually prevalent just now, and a strong man may be stricken down unexpectedly.” “Malden was a friend of Bob’a wasn’t heF * “Na 1 think they never met until the wedding party took place. But Bob liked him immensely. He liked an the crowd. They were a nice lot” “As you’re his mother, you won’t mind this question. Was Bob in love with Mra MaldenF She nodded her bead. “Yea* sb* said, “he waa But nobody could help loving that girl.” “And after Corey died he hoped maybe she might turn to him." “Yea Mr. Stone, he did. How you understand! But she only cared for Corey, which was all right, of course. I like a one-man girt. Still If Bob tad lived I do believe be could have made tar happy.” "I’ve do doubt of it You know, Mra Colea I knew our Bob pretty well He was a fine character. And be was learning every day. He tad a real talent for detective work." Stone stayed a bit longer to cheer her all be could, and then under plea of being a busy man be took his leava Reaching home again. Stone found Tony Gaskell there, awaiting him. The two tad become friendly, even intimate, to their many conferences as to Perilla’* affaire. “Can you put me up tor the night old chapF Gaskell said. “1 know I've trespassed a lot on your hospitality of late, but rve an early appointment tomorrow morning, and a late one to“Os course, Gaskell.

itnd Stone hastened Inside. Looking at various clerks, be saw one of them give him a slight nod. stone went over to him and sat down till be should be through with his customer. “HlmF said the detective, ungrammatically. but eagerly. “Yea sir. Reservation* for Bermuda. day after tomorrow." “Good. Make me a note of the steamer and time of sailing." From there Stone went to the home of the district attorney, Morria “Any news from the seat of warF Stone asked. “No real newa Have you anyF ’ The district attorney looked anxious. “Na except that no news is always good newa’’ • “Well, you’ll bold off a couple of day* longer, won’t youF “If I can. You know, Mr. Stone, I, can’t have a murder accusation brought to me and take no notice of It whatever. If Farman comes here and says Mra Malden poisoned her husband rve got to listen—" “Yea but let ,lt go at listening. Tell him you’ll take up the matter next week. Listen to me a few momenta Morria“ The district attorney dldJUsten, and was really Impressed by what be beard. “1 didn’t mean to tell you quite so much," the detective stated, “but this latest development makes action Imperative at once, and I can’t act if you and Farman are hobnobbing." “I see that, of course, but I can promise nothing. If Farman comes in I’ll do the best 1 can to meet your wishea That’s all I can say." “Pray Heaven, be holds off a bit,” said Stona earnestly, for that holding off might mean life or death to somebody. “Oh. well. It will probably drift along all right And 1 promise you ril do the very best I can in your interest and young Mra Malden'a" Stone left the district attorney in an uncertain mood, but Morris was slowly and surely coming round to the detective’s view of tta matter. CHAPTER XI When Farman came on his momentous errand District Attorney Morris greeted him with little enthusiasm. “It’s a terrible thing," Farman said, “to drag the Malden name in the dust, but worse, indeed, to let murder take place without question or comment.” “Why are you sd sure It Is murderF asked Morria “Have, you evidence, witnesses, testimony—ln a word, are you ready to conduct a murder trial F “We are ready, or can get ready for anything that means law and justice.” “Then go and get ready, and come back when you are all prepared.” This authority, or what seemed like it. given by Morris was just what Farman wanted, and he well knew how to twist the permission to his own ends. That evening Fleming Stone and hi* self-invited guest were earnestly talking over the Immediate outlook. “That. Farmap is a villain." declared GaskelL *1 can’t see Bow the old lady stands having him around. Stona I have every confidence and faith in your powers, but 1 do wish we could hasten matters a bit Now, don’t think for a minute I’m impatient; I only want to see Perilla more at ease. The girl is worried to death, and it isn’t surprising." “Indeed It isn’t; and nobody longs for progress more than I do. But It's coming, Gaskell; it’s on the way." ' “Really? Have you a glimmer of an idea of the criminal’s IdentityF “Yea I’m sure I can say ye* to that. Now to plait on him." “Wish I could help." “If you don’t mind, we wont take the matter up tonight Pm all In—me tor bed. Plum, you want to set u» some drinks?” "Dying ta Mr. Stona" said bls secretary. “What’s youra, Mr. GaskellF . “Just a Scotch highball, not too stiff.” “And yours as usual. Mr. StoneF “Yep." answered the detective ab- I sent-mindedly. “I say. Tony, do you know- Simpson, the great toxlcolo- i gist?” T “Never beard of him; who is heF "He’s not well known.

"Plum fixes it Just right” “Pshaw," *ai< Tony, "they’re exactly aiika aren't they.

Keeping Up er we C Science Service.—WNU ServtM. | Fall Asleep in Class? May Not Be Prof.’s Fault I " New Drug Will Keep Sleepy Persons Awake CHICAGO. —A drug to keep sleepy persons awake is now being used in medical treatment with pronounced success. First report on the use of benzedrine for the treatment of what the doctors call narcolepsy, or sleep attacks, is made by Dr. Myron Prinzmetal of Los Angeles and Dr. Wilfred Bloomberg of Boston. Students especially are given to sleep attacks, and tor these their own central nervous systems rather than their professors are to blame. Cases In Point. Nine cases of persons who fell asleep at least three times a day are reported by the two physicians, whose work with benzedrine has been done in connection with the neurological service of Boston City hospital and Harvard Medical school. In each of the nine cases relief was complete when suitable doses were given. The drug also gives practically complete relief of cataplexy, a state of muscular rigidity produced by sudden emotion, shock or fear. The studies made show benzedrine to be three times as effective In preventing attacks of sleep as ephedrine, the treatment usually given. Seven of the cases reported were among students; the other two affected were a housewife and an office worker. Girl Has to Leave School. Three of the students suffered from momentary generalized weakness whenever they laughed. One girl bad to give up college because she couldn’t avoid falling asleep In classes. An eleven-year-old boy slept all the time he was not actively occupied, and consequently failed in his school work. One sleepy young man had been Injured In a football game, after which he became more and more drowsy until he ‘had six sleep attacks every day. The two physicians state that benzedrine has a profound stimulating action on the higher centers of the central nervous system. It has been used In bayfever and asthma. < Making Big Telescope Reveals New Type of Glassware for Cooking CORNING. — Astronomy and cooking marched hand in hand during the three years’ research which led to the development of the ultra-low expansion type of glass that was used In the great 200-lnch diameter disk of glass tor the new telescope of California Institute of Technology. This was revealed by officials of the Corning Glass Works. Astronomy obtained the dish for tbe telescope mirror out of investigations in which 1.500 different kinds of glass were studied. Housewives will benefit from the same work, tor one of the new glasses to now being used for a new type top-of-the-stove glass cooking ntenslL Ha* Les* Expansion. The new atyte glassware has a still lower coefficient of expansion than the well-known glassware already manufactured by the glass company. The new glass, which can be placed right over a flame on the stove. Is designed to supplement rather than replace the present oven-type glassware. What makes ordinary glass crack when heated suddenly or unevenly, indicate* Dr. J. C. Hostetter, who had charge of making the great telescope disk, is the large coefficient of expansion which sets up unequal stresses that finally pull tbe glass apart Meet* Requirement For glassware used directly over a flame the minimum coefficient of expansion to a desirable characteristic but It must be coupled with other factors such as mechanical strength and length of useful Ufa j For tbe great telescope mirror disk tow expansion was also a major requirement Thus the search for the proper glass had tbe two objectives, with astronomers and the housewife benefiting. Find Coeds Continue to Grow While at College PALO ALTO.CALIF.—- Young women—and presumably young men also —continue to grow a little in height and to gain in weight while at college or university; Prof. Calvin P. Stone and Roger G. Barker of Stanford university found from studies made on over a thousand Stanford cneda The young women, who were between seventeen and twenty-one yeara, £rew on the average almost half an Inch and put on slightly over five pounds in weight Important point of the study, scientifically, is that the same young women were measured and remeasured. This method gives more accurate Information, the Investigator* insist, than the method of measuring different group* of college students and comparing the heights and weight* of entering students with those of third-year students and those in the graduating class. It is the latter method which has given figures indicating, wrongly tn these Investigators’ opinion, that growth does not continue during college year*. /. ' -■

Much of Value of Streamlining Lies in Appeal Designer Says Color May Be Useful, Too RAILROAD trains have styles like automobiles and dresses; and for the same reason—sales appeal. The sleek so-called streamlined trains which have become so popular in the last year are known technically to the industrial designer* who create their lines as stream-styled rather than streamlined. How well such styling can be built Into a motor car is shown if a short exposure photograph Is made of one of the new models standing still on the road. From the print it is difficult to tell whether It’s going 60 or zero miles an hour. That effect as attained by streamstyling is the work of an artist who has a flair for adapting artistry to an Industrial object The airplane In exterior design is truly streamlined of necessity and is the work of the scientist and engineer. Inside, however, the designer goes to work and stream-styles the cabin-for sales appeal. Value of Dramatic Appeal. Speaking before a recent meeting of the New York Railroad club, Otto Kubler, industrial designer for some of the nation’s largest railroads, told the railroad men some of the new tricks of “streamlining” existing steam tralna and even the newer type Diesel articulated units owe their main value to their dramatic appeal. The modern lines of speed built into the locomotivea either steam, Diesel or electric, have the same* appeal to the public as the gaudy painted engines of an earlier date. The change has been necessary to provide something besides the .older circus ballyhoo type of appeal, according to Mr. Kuhler. Color Can Be Useful. Color, recommended the design consultant, can serve a very useful purpose. Said Mr. Kuhler: “If we stand at an unprotected crossing a black spot the shape of a freight engine, a mile away, may give us plenty of time to cross safely, but a brilliantly colored front end can warn us that something very fast ta coming. I feel sure that we have lost more than one human life that might have been spared if color could have flashed its warning ahead. “Instead of confusing the outlines of a train by black and white striping as we see it on gasoline-electric cara I believe tn making a train look like a train.” — The striped camouflage type of marking, reminds Mr. Kohler, Is only a carry-over on the highway protection signs that were designed to be picked up by your headlights at night instead of being flashed In your faca Fish. Used for Live Bait Threaten to Spoil Utah Fishing SALT LAKE ClTY.—Fishe> men in Utah’s trout streams are threatened with serious damage to their sport because other fishermen make use of live bait This ironic .situation has received the attention of W. F. Carbine, of the University of Utah. Small fish used as live bait sometimes slip off the hook, and live to grow up and reproduce. Prominent among fish thus introduced into Great Basin waters Is the chub, a species not particularly esteemed for either sport or food. This fish makes life harder tor trout In two waya It produce* many more eggs, in the same spawning ground* that the trout frequent The mor* numerous and hardy young chub gobble up a great deal of the food that the troutllngs would normally have for themselves. Young trout that survive this period of over-competition for nourishment find that their troubles are not over by any meana A* they swim down tbe streams, the adult chub, which are big fish measuring up to 16 Inches In length, pounce on them and gobble them up In numbers. Young chub, on the other hand, are not taken tor food to any extent by the adult trout To reduce the numbers of this troublesome enemy of the trout Mr. Carbine suggests forbidding the use of live bait the use of neta and" the towering of the water level in the lakes which are their favorite watera Find Olive Oil May Be Used in Automobiles PARIS. —Olive oil is a suitable lubricant for automobile engines, according to Prof. M. Bastet of the Agricultural Institute of Algeria After being pressed from th* fruit the oil must be die-acidified so that It will not corrode the metal parts of the motor.. It may then be used in the crank case or may be graphlted for use as a gear lubricant Using a mixture of one part of olive oil to three parts of the usual mineral oil seems to give better results than the use of either oil. by itself. This discovery may solve a difficult problem in tropical and semi-tropical countries where olives are abundant but where mineral oil products are scarce and costly. Ducks Find Gold Mines in Ural Mountains Moscow.—Ducks, nuzzling a muddy pond bottom near the village of Yemasn Pavtovo in tbe Ural mountains, yielded gold nuggets when they were killed and their gizzards were slit open. Prospector* immediately went out and found the “pay dirt" deposits from which the nugget? had washed into the pond. . \

Students Offered Course in the Art of Whistling In the old horse-and-buggy days whistling was a natural art, acquired without effort You either whistled or didn't and it was much better ordinarily if you did not, at least tor your friends, relates a writer in the Miami Herald. But things change and now we learn that the high school In Banga Texas, has made whistling a regular course in its curriculum. There to nothing like this habit to maintain spirits before graduation, says the Bang* professor. It may be just as badly needed after graduation, too. That ancient belief about whistling girls coming to bad end may have been repealed in Texas, but our advice to the graduates is not to carry their knowledge into offices and factories when seeking and after getting a job. This ability will .not help them. It is more apt to land them on their ears in the alley. Silenca please!

Rather Late It Is not until middle age that a man becomes Interested in his destination. Mothers read this: THREE ITEM Z 1 TO REUEVINO A cleansing dose todag; a smaller quantity tomorrow; less each time, until bowels need no help at all. Why do people come home from a hospital with bowels working like a well-regulated watch? The answer is simple, and it’s the answer to all your bowel worries if you will only realize it: many doctors and hospitals use liquid laxatives. If you knew what a doctor knows, you would use only the liquid form. A liquid can always be taken in gradually reduced doses. Reduced dosage is the secret of any real relief from constipation. Ask a doctor about this. Ask your druggist how very popular liquid laxatives have become. They give the right kind of help, and right amount of help. The liquid laxative generally used is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. It contains senna and cascara — both natural laxatives that can form no habit, even in children. So, try Syrup Pepsin.
