 She's been terribly secretive for some reason or other" said slowly, trying to connect things in my mind. I felt silly telling him about the lucky piece had noticed on her desk and the way she grabbed 1t away from me, "One starts thinking about this business and only such insignifi- cant things come to mind," I apologized. "But thenI guess I haven't been any too rational lately anyway. I was nearly hys- terical when we found the body and Maudie had to remind me of my age and dignity" I said. T looked at her bending over Mo- Cool there in the grass just a few steps from a dead man, and, Denny, I started to laugh. I'm ashamed to think of it."
 He reached over and took my hand and for the first time had a kindly feeling for dead Herbert Cord. If he hadn't received @ ,S2 slug in his back Denny wouldn't be there now.
 Tired as we both were we might have forgotten murders and fears and clews for a little while then, but McCool came out grumbling at the light and noise that had disturbed hs night. He scratched at the door and had to get up and put him out. That broke the moment. could feel Denny's eyes follow me, but when I came back he was putting the dishes in the sink and he showed me ahead of him as he turned out the light.
 Don't worry about it." he said. So went to bed with nothing more real to interrup3 the thoughts of the evenings tragedy than the pressure of his hands on my shoul- derS.

I "She was 0 smart woman, [ wise woman. Wiser than most o you think" She stared into spac the cream in little white gobs ol her fat cheeks. "She knew to- much; that was the trouble" could feel that spot in m. middle getting tight again and tn cold sweat start out on my fore head. "Knew too much. What d you mean2"
 She rubbed the mess of he face before answering, and theI settled down in her pillows. "Sht never went for this idea that thu murder - the first one - was com mitted by some tough gunman She wasn't @ smarty like you - you and that Denny Flynn"
 "Did she tell you this2 what did she tell you, Mother?" I was scared now and Maudie knew Il because I called her Mother. She motioned toward the light.
 Turn that darn thing out, but leave the door open"
 But for heavens sake answer me. When did she tell you what she thought about the murder?"
 Maudie pulled the sheet up around her neck and closed her eyes. "oh, go away. l can't think"
 She could think all right. l knew that. She just wasn't going to talk--at least now.
 It was getting faintly light in the east before I heard Denny tiptoe up the back steps. He'd ben out with the State Police and I not only wanted to know what he'd learned, but felt that If I didn't talk to someone I'd go crazy. slipped into my robe and remembered to use some of the Passion npstick before going out in the kitchen to meet him. "Ill get you something to eat, I told him. While we sat there I repeated Maudie's remarks. "She knows something, but she's Sc darn stubborn, Denny. Maybe you can make her talk. I know she suspects someone, but 1t must be that she's decided she hasn't enough proof to come right out and put her finger on that person.
 She's funny that way; mean about voicing just suspicious or harmful gossip. She talks plenty, goodness knows, but she's always the first one to defend & person one merely suspects. Proof is what Maudie insists upon and l suppose that's what's the matter now"
 Denny nodded. "But, Mary, knowledge is 6 dangerous thing sometimes, and she may have something that's dynamite. She and Miss Millie must have gotten their heads together the night she went there to phone after you found Cords body. Maybe she only thinks she has something; you know her imagination. And then again maybe she's on the right trail. I wish we knew if she talked to Miss Millie before the old woman passed out to- night"

SERIAL STORY

THE STORY: Just when it seems that the Paradise Lake murder of Herbert Cord, whose body Is found by Mary O'ConnOr and her mother, Maudie, might be explained by the enmity of num- hery racketeer Stush Veretti, an- ether murder Is committed and again 1t is Maudie who discovers Che corpse. Second mystery is the fatal beating of straight-laced spinster Miss MlIlie Morris, who had hated Cord for his attentions Co her pretty niece, Jeanie. And Jeanle had been under suspicion because Cord had come back to Paradise this year with fiancee, AGargie Dixon, much to Jeanie's embarrassment. Local editor Tod Palmer fakes an alibi for Jeanie and he and Dennis Flynn, city rec porter, work together on the case. Both Mary and Dennis, old friends, feel that Maudie knows more than she Is revealing, having talked often with such old resi- dents as Miss Millie and Chris Gordon, proprietor of the inn.
 WHAT DOES MAUDIE KNOW?
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-10-15
CHAPTER TX

As far as I could figure things out I could see no reason why Miss Millie should be murdered by city thugs involved in a Grand Jury in- vestlgation. She hadn't mixed in city fife for years. One could tell that from the cut of her black dresses and her trick hats and the way she belittled city things to the summer folks. She considered her life in the town house during the winter as a necessary Information and returned Co the lake before anyone else.
 And could see that Denny and handsome Officer John Antler were mulling those facts over when they came in after taking care of things at the dock. While they had been down there had put Maudie to bed without too much trouble. The stiff drink Denny had poured down her was snaking her sleepy and she was as gentle as 8 child, and terribly grateful for companionship. Maudie didn't want to be alone: feeling was becoming acquainted with her at peaceful Paradise Lake.
 ''ahe was a nice old thing, Mary" she said while I hung up her clothes and gave her cold cream to rub on her sunburned 9ace.
 I didn't want her to think about the tragedy any more If could help it. "Now, Maudie, dear, I'm sure she was a nice old lady. But don't worry about 1t. You didn't know her well, and don't start grieving."

 NEUROLOGY before the time of Jean-Martin Charcot (1925- lso3) was practically unexplored by medical science. Next to noth- ing was known of the relation ship between certain diseases of the brain, spinal cord and nerves, on one hand, and the signs and symptoms to which they gave rise, on the other.
 Charcot, who was honored alphabetically in the 1898 stamp above, linked up the two. He traced the causes of paralysis. He interpreted various nerve reflexes and showed how body functions were controlled by well-defned brain areas.
 He was born in Paris, one of four sons of coach builder. A diligent scholar, his father urged him to study medicine. Too sensi- tive and nervous to study surgery, too fond of animals for vivisec- ton, he did not find himself un- Gil he began to specialize in dis eases of the nervous system.

Rockefeller Predicts
Latin Unrest Unless

Speaks at Launching
Of New Liner for
South American Run

By the Associated Press.
CHESTER, Pa, April 12.-Even-
tual political upheavaf in South
American nations unless those
countries get needed materials from
the United States was predicted to-
day by Nelson Rockefeller.
Mr.. Rockefeller, United States CO.
ordinator of commercial and cul-
tural relations between the Ameri-
can republics, in an address pre-
pared for the launching of the new
$4,000 900 liner Rio de Janeiro in
tended for South American serv-
ice. declared:
Unless the needs of our neigh
bors are given priority by our Gov
ernment, the situation can become
very serious.
IF they do not get such products
as steel, machines and agricultural
equipment, there will follow in order
drastic economic contraction, social
unrest and eventually political up
heaval.
This is an opportunity long

norities, which are to be found in
all of the countries of the Western
Hemisphere. If a single country
falls, the mechanism for Joint inter
American action, for hemisphere
defense, will be disrupted. We will
then have to pay the price many
times over in men and machines to
regain what has been lost"
Declaring the other American re-
publics are almost completely de-
pendent upon the United States for
semi-fabricated and manufactured
goods. Mr.. Rockefeller asserted
there is a grave danger that these
goods will not be available for ex-
port because of our tremendously
increased defense effort"
Mr.. Rockefeller noted the need of
supplying ships to Great Britain to
Offset war losses and provide bot
toms for transportation of increas-
ing supplies to England, but he
asserted:
The shipping services in the Latin
American trade are not reservoir
from which others can draw.
They are the lifelines of the
hemisphere and as such must be
maintained and strengthened"
The new 17,500-ton liner was
christened by Senhora Ali Vargas
do Amaral Peixoto, daughter OF
President Vargas of Brazil. and
blessed by the Most Rev. John F..
O'Hara, former president of Notre
Dame University.
Senhora Peixoto broke bottle of
champagne over the bow of the
palatial ship and the Rev. Mr..
O'Hara sprinkled water from the
harbor of the Brazilian city for
which the liner is named.

tinued hearings on three other de-
fense project strikes that have been

the agreement between the company
and striking c. 1. o. marine engi-
neers will release three freighters
that have been held in New York
harbor since March % with cargoes
needed in East Africa.
The agreement provided for one
year contract between the company

contended that one of the vessels. of
new type, should carry only one
junior engineer and the union asked
that two be aboard. The agreement
provided for two.
The company had offered the crew
a 40 per cent bonus to take the ves-
sci into South African waters and
the union had asked STA per cent
bonus. The agreement provided for
a bonus of so per cent of the basic
wages.
