MURDER IN PARADISE
BY MARGUERITE GAHAGAN

I know. You girls have presented this lovely, restful community with three dead persons. Don't you think that's pretty good summers work2 Why don't you go home now. Go home and rest up."
 He was grinning, but the way he held my hands didn't make me feel he was fooling. His hands trembled and in back of that grin sensed fear, and I'd never known Denny to show fear. If 1t hadn't been for Maudie I'd think I'd have packed our things right then and headed for town. But Maudie said it was apparent we were the only observant ones around there.
 Maybe before the police are through they'll give credit where credits due. They should vote us honorary members of the force" she said.
 Maybe they'll give you a gun to carry" Denny said quietly. "IIl speak to Antler about it."
 "Oh, indeed" Maudie looked over the top of her glasses at him. "The time we might have need a gun was after the first or second mur- der. This is just a suicide, SO why should we need gun now2 It is suicide, isn't it?" Her naivete didn't fool Denny or me.
 Tod Palmer's old jaloppy stopped in front of the house and he came in. She's asleep" I said, nodding to the bedroom where we had put Jeanie, who was now relaxed under the influence or one or the white powders Dr. Orway had left me for my nerves.
 What did they decide9 Denny asked
 Tod's solemn face was stern. Murder" he said, and the word didn't come as a shock "She was dead before she was put up in the attic. Under the rope there were marks. She'd been choked to death"
 What are they doing now?" Denny was already reaching for his hat.
 "The usual things: looking for fingerprints, trying to find out where the rope came from, who was around the house last night, and who was the last one to see the old lady alive
 How long has she -" Maudie began, and Tod hesitated.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-10-30
coPVNtGHT. seMs pa4A @ERNBc& SpeG.

Doc says at least eight hours - maybe longer
 "why, 1t must have happened just before Jeanie went in," said, horrif1ed. "What if the murderer was still there's She might have been"
 "Yes," Denny said. "She might have been number four"
 Are they going to start tortur- ing the poor child again2' It was Maudie, and her question left me little sick. I saw what she meant. If Liza Holmes had been dead at least eight hours and we found her in the morning about II, then she could have been killed after midnight; after o'clock even, and it had been that late when we left Jeanie.
 Her one-time sweetheart, her aunt, her housekeeper-all dead. Tod had giveh her an aNbi for her whereabouts at the time of Cords death; Liza had sworn she knew the girl was in the house when Miss Millie met her death in the row. boat, and we could testify she had been with us until a. m. But with three murders-three people so intimately associated with her, those three alibis that a smart lawyer could blast holes in, didn't look SO strong. I hated to think of tomor- row. I could see Tod felt the same.
 Maudie was the only one who didn't look as though she might be ready to lose her dinner. She was looking out over the lake absently scratching Finn McCool's well-fllled tummy.
 T suppose the numbers boys took care of poor Liza Holmes, too," she said to no one in particular.
 Denny got up from the table and slapped his hat on his read head.
 "Oh, he'll" he said, and walked out of the cottage.

THE STORY: Two murders at Paradise Lake renew the old roc HiamCe between school teacher
 zaEy O'COnnOr, vacatiOning there with her mother, Maudie, and re- porter Dennis Flynn, sent down erwm Che city to cover the story. Police arc convinced sophisticated Herbert Cord was killed by gang steP Strush Veretti, although Csrd's death at first implicated Ieanle Morris, whom he had c0arted for two summers only to bring Margie Dixon to Paradise thls year as his flancee. Second mysterious death was that of Miss AEillie Morris, Jeanie's stern spin- ster aunt, who kept locked In her heart the secret of Q girlhOod roe nance with someone who signed his letters "Kit." Other characters in the story are Liza Holmes, Miss AKilhe's maid who stays on with elderly innkeeper Chris Gordon; lOcal editor Tod Palmer, in love with Jeanie. Tod, Mary, Jeanie and Dennis spend 8 pleasant eve- ming In the city. The next day a third death deepens the mystery. Jeanie and Mary find Liza'S body hanging In the attic of the Morris home. Suicide?

It was an undiplomatic question to ask and the doctor was obviously glad when Officer Antler came in But I had a hunch the doctor had made up his mind as to the answer even before he made the official autopsy in his role as coroner.
 The law was in charge now and so the questioning began. I'm quite sure John Antler would have liked to put me in my place sev- eral times, but wanted to be the first one to start, and since had seen Liza Holmes up there and Jeanie hadn't, it seemed only right ! should begin.
 . I told them all I could, starting back with our trip to town the aay before. It made 1t easier for yeanie when 1t was her turn, not Shat there was any reason why enc should not help her.
 You didn't look to see If she Ras in her room last night, then?" he asked, and she repeated that she hadn't She also told again that Liza Holmes had had no worries that she knew about, and that she hadn't seemed unusual except that she grieved for Miss Millie in her silent tight-lipped fashion.
 We didn't stay there much longer The doctor said there were things to do up in the attic and If I wanted to take Jeanie home with me we could leave any time.
 "I'n lock up and bring the key. Might be just as well If you stayed sone place else tonight not here."
 Tod had arrived at our house be- fore we got out of the car'which a police officer had turned into taxi for our benefit. Tod had heard the news that Liza was dead and his frs thought had been to have some one to stay with Jeanie. Maudie told him was already at the Nor rim home and then, after he had admitted there was more excitement over there, sine had buttonholed him. I think he was almost as glad to get out of her clutches as he was to see Jeanie.
 I managed to get Maudie in the kitchen away from them with the promise to tell her everything.
 Suicide she snorted. T don't believe that and you don't expect me to because you don't believe 1t yourself"
