to find out where. Bassett doesnt

GETTING READY

"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

polished up the runners, too.

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

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.
All I'm asking you is to give
my message to him tell him that

I want to see him," she went on
urgently. "IU pay you for doing
it if you like. How much do you
want? '
Fatty Bassett did not answer for
a moment. 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.
