Show THE PAYSON CHRONICLE. PAYSON. UTAH CHAPTER XI far from Continued As soon as I heard the story, " he said, I was certain that one man was responsible for both crimes. It was the cleverest piece of work I have ever known of, I dont know the murderer, but 1 suppose you do. Come and see me tomorrow and tell me all about It. I am too weary to talk further now. You have all the points, you can prove everything, from those notes I have given you, but more now I cannot undertake. I am a feeble old man, Stone, and I trust I have given you all the data you want, for I cannot give any more time to this subject Drop in here tomorrow morning, or send Mr. Plum, so can know what happens tonight I wish I could be there with you no, not that I should enjoy it far from that But Id like to be there to check up on you, If you make any mistakes In your explanation. However, Mr. Plum has a good strong grasp of the facts; yon can help each other out And remember, boy, you did it. Had you not spied that bit of glass we would be back where we were at first." They said goodby to the old doctor, and promising to see him the next morning, they went away. The two and Tony Gaskell met at dinner. Going to the party?" asked Tony as they sat down. "Oh, yes," said Stone, blithely. "Plum Is going, too." I hope we can get away early," said Stone. Im up to my ears in work and I planned to get some of It done tonight Plum, you must come home when I do." Plum agreed to this, and the talk turned to other topics. Stones car came a few minutes before nine and the three men went off In It They greeted Perilla, and then drifted toward various magnets. Soon a sudden hush fell on the room, for Fleming Stone had risen. As you doubtless all know," he began, I have been employed by Mrs. Corey Malden to Investigate the mystery of two recent deaths being what he had hoped for. i qoaj.

Ive kept tablets of that description In the house ever since. Theyre Then came the wedding, Stone proceeded, and the honeymoon trip by motor car.

Be quiet, or I shall send for your nurse and you will be taken from the room. The old lady stopped talking, and looking a little frightened, glanced at Perilla, who was on her other side. Reassured by the girls slight smile she said no more, and Stone proceeded. At the time no post mortem was held on Corey Maldens remains. Since then an autopsy has taken place and we are no longer In doubt as to the manner of his taking-off- . What happened to him? cried Garth, unable to restrain his curiosity.

Have You a Glimmer of an Idea of the Criminals Identity?" and to attempt to reach a solution. I have done so, and the real purpose of our coming here tonight is to let me tell you the truth of this matter, and explain the method and motive of the two tragedies. I will begin with the death of You all know Mr. Corey Malden. he and his bride were in a Washington hotel when Mr. Malden died suddenly, and for no known reason. The circumstances are known to all, so I will only say that the doctors attributed his death to heart failure, which Is a term sometimes rather loosely used, but which seems the only one possible In this case. There was no autopsy, as none was deemed necessary. After Mrs. Corey Malden's return to this, her New York home, she sent for me and told me she had a vague Idea that there might have been foul play In connection with her husband's death and asked me to take up the matter and prove her suspicions either right or wrong. I did so, and since working for a few weeks I have proved her fears were well founded, and the 'death of Corey Malden was a diabolically clever murder, a remarkable piece of work by a remarkable criminal. Is it permitted that one Interrupt you with questions, Mr, Stone? This came from Gaskell, and Stone answered calmly, Yes, If the questions are asked for an lntelll gent purpose. Then I ask If you know the Identity of the murderer, and If he Is the same one who killed young Mr. Coles. I cannot reply to those Inquiries at the present moment, Stone said, Who Are You? How National Parks and Crocheting an Afghan, National Monuments Differ Tomorrows Heirloom As the solver frowning a little. of this double murder mystery, 1 feel that I have earned the right to tell my tale In my own way. I assure you all that I shall not drag out the story to any unnecessary length, but It Is only fair that the facts I have learned be presented in right and appropriate sequence. Do you remember, Mr. Lovell, the night before the wedding, at your seaside home? "Oh, yes. In every detail. "Then you recollect that several CHAPTER XII ( NOW have to remind you of A the death of young Robert Coles, Fleming Stone said slowly. "You have often heard It said, I have no doubt, that if a criminal commits two crimes they are done In the same way. It Is my own experience that every murderer has his own method and sticks to It. At any rate, the two murders we are speaking of for Coles was murdered were 'done by the game method, and In furtherance of the same end. The end, which Is to say, the motive, I will now state. two The murderer wanted things: he wanted the girl that Corey Malden married, and he wanted the fortune which would come to that girl on the death of her husband. These two things, then, were the reasons for the murder of Corey Malden. The criminal knew that the fortune would automatically become Mrs. Malden's at the death of her husband, and the criminal thought or hoped to win Mrs. Malden for his wile. A hush fell on the assembly. Gaskell stared openly at Garth with a look that said, Theres your man! while Farman looked steadily at rerllla with accusation in his small unpleasant eyes. "And what about Bob? cried Malcolm. Who killed him? Bob Coles knew too much about the murderer, was Stones reply to Wherefore part of the question. the murderer put him out of the way, also. I wish youd tell us who the murderer was, said Gaskell, petulantly. "It had to be someone who was at the hotel In Washington, and also at the Fields house in Scotts-towWhich is absurd, unless you are Introducing an utter stranger. No, said Stone gravely; no, I am not Introducing an utter stran ger. The murderer Is with us now, In the group in this room. Every one turned and looked about This statement was too much. Who of the group present could be a murderer? Only the extreme gravity of Stones countenance, the solemnity of his expression, could make it seem possible he was speaking the truth. A grim silence fell, and now, al most In a monotone, the detective continued speech. A Richardson? shown below Is THE coat of toarmsThomas Richard-son- , oldest son of Thomas Richardson, of Ireland and New York city. The name Richardson, of course, comes from the personal name Richard. It Is the combination of two Shxon words signifying rich or generous, In disposition, wealth, love or what-not- . Richard was a favorite name among the Normans also. In northern France, where they were masters of great estates, history records a long line of dukes called Richard. Then after the conquest of England by the Normans, there were several kings who bore the name, one of whom was Richard the Llonhearted, the Crusader king, who was defeated at Ascalon. The transition of the name Richard to Richardson occurred soon after the Norman conquest William Belward, Lord of Malpasse, had two sons. The youngest was called Richard and his son took the name of Richardson. It is said that there Is scarcely a county in England where the name of Richardson Is not known. It Is also well established In Ireland and Wales. It has been borne by many great men of England, Including Richard, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Richard, Earl of Cornwall, wall, brother of King Henry III. The family first settled and flourished in the counties of Norfolk, Yorkshire and Deerham In the Sixteenth century. A branch of the Richardson family removed from Norfolk county to Ireland In the reign of Queen Elizabeth. In 1666, Charles II granted large tracts of land there to Simon Richardson.

IBs brothers, Samuel and Thomas, followed In 1636. Another Simon sailed from Gravesend, England, on the America, and settled In Virginia. John Richardson came to Virginia in 1636 on the ship Paul. There were many early settlers of this family and consequently there are many descendants In every part of the country who have distinguished themselves In every walk of life. A Greene? IT IS commonly supposed that the name of Greene Is of Saxon or Scandinavian origin, but It Is found that there was a patrician family of this name after the Roman conquest of England, which suggests that it Is of Latin derivation. In the early part of the Thirteenth century, about twelve years before the granting of the Magna Charta, during the reign of King John, there lived in England one Alexander de Boketon. It was his who took unto himself the name of Greene, and spelled great-grandso- - Fill the coffee pot with cold water to which a tablespoon of baking soda f has been added and boll for hour each week.

The Canadian Year Book states that the governor general acts under the advice of his ministry, which Is responsible to parliament, and as the acting bead of the executive, summons, pro rogues, and dissolves parliament and assents to or reserves bills. In the discharge of these and other executive duties he acts entirely by and with the advice of his minis try. The royal prerogative of mercy Id capital cases, formerly exercised on the governor generals own Judg ment and responsibility, is exercised pursuant to the advice of the min Istry. The practice whereby the gov ernor general served as the modi uia of communication between the Canadian and the British govern ments has been given up; direr! communication between the Tana dian and British government has been Instituted. There are 26 national parks and more than 70 national monuments, Generally speaking, national parks are areas preserved by the federal government because of their outstanding scenery, while national monuments are either buildings or areas preserved because of their prehistoric, historic, scientific, geologic or biologic Interest. For example, Carlsbad caverns In New Mexico is classified as a national park, while Chaco canyon In New Mexico Is listed as a national monument of Interest because of prehistoric cliff dwellings. Though most of the national parka are In the West and goulhwe-t- , there are others In all parts of the United States In Alaska and Hawaii, Both national parks and national monuments are open to the public. During the last 23 years visitors registering at national parks have Increased from about 198,000 annually to more than 4, (XX), 000 In 1935.
