+ HE MYSTERY GERALDINE
by ANTHONY ABBOT

The nude. hacked body of Geral-
dine Foster is found buried a short
distance from the Peddler's Road
house. The grave is filled with a
pine-scented fluid, and nearby are
two bottles similar to that found
in the Office of DR.. Humphrey
MaskeU, Geraldine's employer.
Two women were seen leaving
the doctors office carrying sim
liar bottles. Colt picks up a blond
hair at the scene of the crime.
Mrs. Morgan. a neighbor. corrob-
crates the doctors statement
that he was with her daughter the
day of the disappearance. He
claims strange woman was wait
ing outside his office when he re-
turned. Other suspects are Geral-
dimes brother, Bruce, who is to
inherit her estate, and Harry Arm
strong, the victims former fance.
Armstrong states he phoned GeraI-
dine from Hartford, the night be-
fore she disappeared to suggest
they elope, but she refused. Colt
learns that Bruce Foster is an
adopted child, whose father was
hung for murder. 1t is believed,
however, that Mr.. Foster is the
boys real father. Mrs. Haber-
horn. owner of the Peddler's Road
house. identifies DR.. MaskeH as
her tenant, "Mr. Bigsbee." Mas
keH tells of receiving phone call
from Geraldine on January 5th,
ten days after her disappearance,
saying she was in trouble and re-
questing him to meet her. She
failed to keep the appointment.
The doctor denies taking her to
Peddier's Road. An autopsy shows
the girl had been dead ten days
and her body preserved in fannie
acid to make it appear she was
dead only IS hours. Dougherty
accuses MaskeU. After an aH-night
grilIing. the doctor sticks to his
story.

The Fire Season

Numerous reports of fatal fires re-
mind us that this is the season when
tragedy often stalks in the midst of
merriment. The very articles of
Xheer and fun making often carry
possibilities Of danger. Take, for in
stance, the Christmas tree. It has
brought misery to many homes
where, only few short minutes be-
fore, it was the center of happy
gathering.
Old-fashioned candles have gone
out of date in the cities but if the
tree in the rural home is to be illu-
minated they offer about the only
method. 1t may seem like borrowing
trouble to have a bucket of sand or
water handy when the tree is il
Illuminated but it really isn't. It is
only good common sense which NAV

thought his collapse was near. But

A Stupid World

One wonders, viewing the current
scene, il there Is really pint OF
constructive brains in the whole
world; II all Of us have not been
stricken with paralysis above the
ears.
A leading state official, in a recent
letter to the editor, pointed out that
ours Is the only society in which a
situation such as we now have could
possibly exist; that the savages of
darkest Africa would have good times
because Of the bountiful supply of
food, clothing and the wherewithal
to construct shelter.
One OF the nations leading indus
trialists recently put it this way:
TT is stupid to suffer as the world
has suffered recently and will suffer
for months to come. It is probably
as stupid as the old epidemics before
We learned the calse Of typhoid fever

Schuster "Ideal"
AS Boston Owner
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

NEW YORK, July 23.-If Winfield
~ A. Schuster buys the Boston
Red Sox, it will be prize stroke
for the game at the Hub. for this
young man is the son Of one Of the
greatest base ball fans that ever sat
at a game.
Young Schuster has said that
100000 was asked for the Red
Sox, and being well acquainted with
base ball values he thinks the owner
of the team will have to clip his f1g-
ures. In the meantime. President
Robert Quinn says he is not nego-
tiating with any one for the sale
of his club.
The elder Schuster sponsored the
famous Blackstone Valley League.
Many of the famous players of the
country played in that Massachu-
setts semi-pro loop at some time or
other.
