i\y Favorite Stories I ' By CARL GOERCH ed fr*n> 2) ,? you can't answer ? only kind of questions ^ are those which re mte positive or negative Ln a gr?>uP ?f four 01 flve J|ve the mystery in .fifteen minutes. Then again. I've seen oth ers struggle with it for half an hour or longer and finally be forc ed to give it up. It makes a dandy game when you've got plenty of time on your hands and nothing special to do. If you want to try it out, and ' - ? If you can do so before someone' else happens to read this, here's the solution to the mystery: The woman and her daughter left India, arrived In London and registered at the hotel. They had rooms across the hall from each other, just as recounted in the story. The mother wasn't feeling very well when she retired. After her daughter had gone to bed, the woman began to feel worse, so she telephoned down to the desk and asked that the house physician be ? sent to her room. The doctor answered the call. He made an examination and to his horror discovered that the wo man was suffering from the black plague?the same pestilence which swept through Europe in the fif teenth century and killed millions of people. It is absolutely incur able. The doctor knew that she had no chance to live. On the oth er hand, if she were permitted to live and the news got out, the hotel would be ruined. Not only that, but the plague is highly contagi ous. Others would be affected, and who knows; it might have swept all over England. The doctor decided to take the law into his own hands. He admin istered chloroform and killed the woman. Then he told the hotel of ficials what had taken place. They had the body secretly removed and secretly buried. They were afraid to tell the girl anything about it. They had all of the furniture tak en out of the room and burned it, so that no germs might be spread. (That accounted for the re-arrange ment ?* the furniture which the daughter noticed.) And then, at five o'clock in the morning, they rented the room to the man from Liverpool. Please keep in mind that there are three points to be solved in the mystery. 1. What happened to '.he woman? 2. Why did it hap pen? 3. Who caused it to hap pen? You'll find it difficult for your crowd to get started on the ques tions, but after they make a little orogress. the questions will fly hick and fast. in CPL. JACK C.
