Chapter 41 ELSA'S NEW IDEA "Basse tt Is hiding him Bald Lawson. "It shouldn't be difficult to find out where. Bassett doesnt amount to much. I can suggest a couple of easy ways of finding out where Mahony Is. Either send some of your men to pretend to Join B&s- GETTING READY By Mary Gratam Bonner "Now, Great Boy," said Santa Claus, to his dog, "let me go over all my list and tee that I have every' thing- Santa had lists of the names of the children In each village and town and city and country, and beside their names were the pres ent he had planned to give to each. "Yes," aald Santa, chuckling, 'everything la In order. Oh, I do hope little Peggy la going u like the lamb I have for her. She want ed one to look )ust like Sweet Face. and she wanted to be able to press !t so It would aay Bsa-baa.' This lamb does that, and she wanted a pink ribbon him. "Then Polly wanted a dog so aha could name htm Rip. Not a dog uch aa you, Oreat Boy, but a dog she could keep beside her on the pillow at night and one that she could carry under her arm when aha went to the seashore In the summer. Here's her dog. "Jimmy wanted boat with the name Seaworthy painted on her aide, and here Is his boat. "Jerry particularly wanted skates. and Frederics said she would like to have a new sled or to have hers painted over again. I stopped down t her house one night a few weeks ago when she was asleep and went up Into the ettf and painted the aled. There are other toys for Frederlca, too. "She said she would rather have her old sled with a fresh coat of paint than a new one. Rhe knows Just how to steer that old sled. I left note for her dsddy telling him just where I had hidden It. I polished up the runners, too. "Yea, everything seems to be ready to pack." Tomorrow "Packing J, I T i WHY DID A "BRAWL I LIKE THAT AW, NE, AND I HAD SEVEN MORE JOBS , FOR YOU ! J By HUGH CLEVELT sett's crowd, and pass on any Infor mation they can get told of, or cap ture one of Bassett's men and knock hell out of him '(111 he tells you where Mahony Is. Now get on with It. As an encouragement to you to put your backs Into It, I'm offering a thousand pounds for the proof of Mahony death." He rose from his seat, nodded curtly to the men sitting round the table, and left the room, satisfied with the Impression he had created. He re-entered his waiting car and drove back to his house. There he was told that Elsa Little wished to see him. She waa waiting for him In his study, and her face looked pale and worried. He smiled at her. "It's nice of you to come and me," he said. "Inspector Kennedy told me about your Interview with Mahony last night. That was a clever idea, and it seems to have had the desired effect. It can only be a matter of days, or even hours, before the police catch him." "Yes, I know," said Elsa rather faintly. "That that'a what I've come to see you about You see I don't want them to catch him." "You don't want them to catch him?" echoed Lawson In a voice of genuine astonishment "But . why, what's happened. Only yester day you were dead keen on bringing him to book for your uncle's mur der." "Yes, I ... I know," said Elsa. "I thought he had killed my uncle then. I don't think so now." "I'm afraid I don't understand at all," he said. "It's rather difficult to explain. answered Elsa. "I know I laid a trap for him last night and he fell Into It in a way. That talk Terence Mahony had with me last night has convinced Inspector Kennedy that he killed my uncle. But it haa con vinced me that he didn't kill him." "Isn't that enough for you?" ask ed Lawson. She shook her head. "No. You see, I was In the room with him, watching his face, notlo lng his expression. I'd never had "Now here's what we'll do," Puffy says to his friend, "We'll see this thing through twill be tough to the end "Well follow the robbers wherever they go, "Now harry ap Johnny and don't ot be atow."

SAV, TELL YOUR WIFE I WAS IN AN AUTO CRASH the chance of really talking to him before. I'm certain he waa telling the 'truth when he said he didn't kill my uncle." "I see," said Lawson. He walked to and fro for a few seconds, frowning thoughtfully. This change of mind on Elsa'a. part was quite unexpected. But he could not see that it mattered much. "I don't see that you can do very much about It," he stated. "I must do something about It; I can't let them hang him," said Elsa passionately. She hesitated. "I was wondering If I eouldnt help him to get out of the country for a time to go somewhere where the English law can't touch him," she went on. "Then, while he was away, I could get private detec tives and people to work to prove him Innocent Lawson was on the point of tell ing her that her Idea waa quite Impracticable, but suddenly checked himself. The glimmerings of an idea had suddenly occurred to him. "I dont care how much I spend," went on Elsa. "Surely there could be some way of arranging It?" "It might be possible," admitted Lawson cautiously. "But it would be very difficult. To start with, how would you get Into touch with Ma. hony?" "I dont know," said Els In a hopeless tone. "That'a the trouble. I dont see how I can get Into touch with him." " Personally, it ha never occurred to me to doubt Mahony a guilt," he stated. "But then. If he's Innocent I don't want him to hang." He shrugged hi shoulder slight ly and smiled. "In any case. If you believe he's Innocent and It will make you un happy If he's hanged, I'm willing to do my best to help him, he con tinued. "Let's consider how you can set about it." "To begin with, we've got to get into touch with htm. That man Bassett will most likely know where he Is. The best thing you can do la to see Bassett and try to arrange a meeting with Mahony." "And what shall 1 say to Bas sett?" asked Elsa. "Shall I just tell him I want to help Mr, Mahony to get abroad? "I don't think I should do that," answered Lawson. He paused again. Tills business needed thinking out very carefully. As I say, I dont like Mahony, but from what I've seen of the fel low, I don't think he'd consent to go abroad," he went on slowly, "He's a fighter, and, whatever tha conse quences, he's the sort of man to stay here and fight things out to the end." "Then what am I to do?" asked Elsa hopelessly. "The only way will be to take things Into your own hands and send him whether he want to go or not," answered Lawson. "In oth er words, Shanghai him. Stick him on board a ship with Instructions to the captain not to let him go till he's well out of harm' way, I think I ran help you in that." "You mean kidnap him and put him on board a ship?" asked Elsa In a horrified tone. Exactly," said Lawson. But . . . that would be rather treacherous," objected Elsa tn a pro testing torn, "I dont think I should care to do that. I've led him into a trap once; I hate the idea of do ing it again." "I know exactly how you feel about It" said Lawson sympatheti cally. "It may not seem very nice to trick him into meeting you again and then have him kidnapped and hidden out of the way, but, for his own sake, it's the greatest service you could possibly render him." His voice was very persuasive, and there seemed to be good sense in his arguments. "I suppose you're right," admit ted Elsa hesitatingly. "Of course I'm right," replied Lawson. "You get in touch with Bassett and let me know what hap pens, and 111 make all the other arrangements." "Very well," agreed Elsa. "Ill do that." Elsa'a interview with Bassett was arranged with an ease that surpris ed her. The Interview took place In the small front sitting-room of a house In Brixton. Acting on her In structions from Lawson, Elsa would tel Bassett nothing except that she had a communication of the great est Importance to make to Mahony. "What's It about?" asked Bassett. "I cant tell anybody except him," answered Elsa. "I must see him myself. I I cant see him I shan't tell anyone what I have to say." She looked at Bassett defiantly. She hated the thought that Mahony waa banding himself with people like the man In front of her.

He merely looked at her. Then he spoke. "I'm a crook," he said. "I make my livln' dishonestly. I expect you know that, dont yer?" Elsa hesitated for a moment. She was not sure how to answer. And Bassett's cold, unwinking glance, fixed on her face, made her feel a trifle uncomfortable. "Well ... I suspected you were," she answered rather weakly. "An" now I'm tellin' you I am," went on Bassett. "An now you know you've come to the right person, dont you? Because when one of you society people wants something dirty done, they always pay a crook to do it for them." Elsa flushed Indignantly. "But I dont want anything dirty done," she burst out "How dare you suggest such a thing. My only rea son for wanting to get into touch with Mr. Mahony I to help him." Bassett went on staring at her with shrewd, hard eyes. He did not want the same thing to happen as when Mahony had last met her. "Of course, money I money," he went on in a business-like tone.
