Chapter 16 NOT CONVINCED "Didn't you find out from the newspapers that the police were searching for you?" asked the In UNDOWN' )RIES THE PLASTER CAST By Mary Graham Bonner When Willy NlUy took a look at Sweet Face's left leg he said: "I'll have to set it. Sweet Face, and then I think I'd better make a plas ter cast for it. You've broken your leg not a complete break but enough so you must keep oft It." "Baa, baa, I understand," agreed Sweet Face. Willy Nllly was proud of Sweet Face's courage, and also of the great unselfishness of the bears, forgetting about food in order to bring him home quickly. "Tell me all that has happened to you," Willy Nllly said, and Sweet Face bravely told the whole story from the time when he had started to follow the other lambs while Willy Nllly repaired the Injured leg. Then Willy Nllly got supper for everyone and all the Puddle Mud dlers came not only for the food but to see how Sweet Face was get ting along and to hear all that had happened. "You should be pretty proud, Sweet Face," cackled Top Notch, "to think that the bears made a 'chair' for you and brought you home when they were out on a feast hunt." "I am proud indeed," bleated Sweet Face, although his tes were sad, and his face drawn from the pain that he felt. But now Willy Nllly fixed a plaster cast around his leg, and all the others looked on. "I'll tell you some adventure stories," barked Rip. the dog, and curled up close to Sweet Face. But before Rip had told one whole tory he had fallen asleep. It was a comfort, though, to have him lying at the foot of the couch where Willy Nllly had put Sweet Face. Rip was auch a dear dog even when asleep. Sweet Face wondered where the other lambs were now. He sighed, contentedly, that he was In Puddle Muddle. Monday "Nothing But Praise." "No," said Ruth, "Anne is a queer sort; she has a tiny cottage miles from anywhere, and she doesn'l bother about newspapers. I dldn either, while I waa with her," said Ruth. "And what time did you get back to London last night?" asked 111' spector Kennedy. "I suppose we got back at about 4," she answered. "You see, the ignition went wrong and It took. It took us about two hours and half to put It right." She was feeling hot and cold all at once. In the middle of the speech, when she had been about to refer to her rescuer, she had suddenly remembered that she did not even know his name. 8he hoped she had passed it off all right. Inspector Kennedy made rapid calculations. It was a good two hours Journey by road to Harfield In a fast car. Two hours going, two hours coming back, and an hour and a half allowing for certain exaggeration on her part spent In repairing a breakdown that meant that Mahony could not possibly havcecn in London at the time when the murder occurred, But was her story truthful? It seemed to the Inspector that thcic was something very queer abo very nearly everything . that had taken place. What was the mean ing of It all? It simply did not make sense. And who had killed Mr. Little, and why? He sighed. He had decided, after all, not to detain Mahony for the present. Lawson also was very perplexed. He could not understand why on earth Ruth should have told that story about staying with a friend Mahony could not understand It either. "You say that the name of the friend with whom you were Unying la Anne Dowson. Would you mind giving me her address?" asked In spector Kennedy. "The White Cottage, near Har ficld, Sussex," replied Ruth without O'fTV "Let's so." Puffy says, "I think we might aa well." They clamber aboard. Says the cap tain: "V tell "A story to arnd nervous thrills down your iplne "TU a MVSTKRY SHIP this big liner of mine." hesitation. "But you won't find her there today, I'm afraid. She told me she was going away." She did not mention that Anne had said that she was going to Berlin; she hoped that Anne, with her well known carelessness, had not told anybody where she was going. Heaven only knew what would happen If Anne were to be questioned severely by the police. She would probably throw tubes of paint at them and end up In piis. on herself. She was like that. "Thank you," said Inspector Ken. nedy. "I don't think I need de tain you or Mr. Mahoney any long er." So that's his name, thought Ruth. And she wondered what sort of Christian name he had. Something really Irish, like Shawn or Padraig, she hoped. "I'm terribly sorry about your uncle, Elsa," she said. "You will let me know if I can do anything, won't you?" "Yes. Thank you, Ruth," replied Elsa, and then to Mahony: "I owe you an apology, Mr. Mahony. I'm sorry if I've suspected you unjust ly." She spoke a little stiffly, as if she had made the apology with great reluctance. "That's all right, Miss Littli'," said Mahony. "Please don't think about it any more." He and Ruth Fraser left the house. When they had gone there was a short silence. Then Inspec tor Kennedy shrugged his ehoul- ders slightly. 'It seems that you were mistaken. Miss Little, in thinking that Ma hony was the man In the study with you and your uncle last night," he observed. "Yes," said Elsa, in a doubtful voice. She looked at the Inspector, her blue eyes full of an acute bewilder ment. "I ... I still don't think I was mistaken," she said falterlngly. "I've got a very good memory for voices. And why did Ruth say that she was staying with Anne Dowson?" Have you any reason to think that she was not staying with Miss Dowson?" asked the Inspector keenly. Well . . . yes. The day after Ruth disappeared I had a-letter from Anne about a picture I wanted to buy from her. In her letter she asked after Ruth. I don't think that even Anne would have done that if Ruth had been staying with her, though she la very absent minded." Lawson's first action after leav- Lng the Little's house was to ring up Lce-Riunsdcn. He found Lee- rfkmsden in a somewhat Irritable mood. "I've rung, you up twice this morning already," said Lee-Rams. den. "I want to know what hap pened last night. How did my ward manage to turn up here sud denly like that at four in the morn ing?" "I don't know," answered Lawson I'm ringing you up to try to find out what happened. I didn't know she'd got away till I saw her a min ute or two ago. I also want to warn you that detective is on his way to Interview you now. I don't care If the whole of Scot land Yard Is on its way to Interview me," replied Lee-Ramsden. "I've al ready lung them up and told them that Ruth has been staying with a school friend in Sussex. They can believe it or not, Just as they like. That's all the Information they'll get from me or Ruth." "But . . " began Lawson. He did not quite know how to go on. "Is Ruth seriously going to try to keep up the story about staying with Anne Dowson?" he asked. "Yes. She seems to have some reason for wanting to hide the real story of what happened last night. She won't even tell me the name of the man who got her away." "I know who he Is all right," an swered Lawson. "He's an interfer ing devil named Mahony, who Is beginning to know a damned sight loo much about my affairs. You'd better slip out of the house and meet me quietly somewhere before that detective arrives. There are a lot of things I want to tell you before you meet him." (To Be Continued) Rev.
