)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

"Let's so." Puffy says, "I think we
might aa well."
They clamber aboard. Says the cap

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."
