The Wrong Murderer SI XOl'SIR: Throng a tip from a is tiiend Billy tloss, Terence Ha Itumj has been able to rescue Visa Ullla Irom a pang 01 kidnappers headed by Ambrose Lawsoit, who te a respected friend of the Little family. But while Terence woe re turning Elsa home. Lawson killed her uncle. Terence hoe escaped irom the house, knowing he cannot prove hie innocence of the murder. But Elea heard Terenoe'e voice al though ehe did not recognise him . , . and now Inspector Kennedy, in vestigating the murder of Ur. Lit tle, believes Else is about to re member whose vote U uias she heard. Chapter Nine lsa remembers INSPECTOR KENNEDY Issued ' forward allgbtlT. 'Have yon rcmemberea?" he asked esgerly. "I . . . but It can't be." sne tald lowly. "Why, I hardly know him at alL And, anyway, ha waa a friend of Billy Rosa, wbo wai one of my beat friends." "What's bla name?" asked Inspec tor Kennedy. "The role aounded ltke Mr. Ma bony'a be came to tea this after noon." answered Elsa. "But he couldn't possibly have done It. Why should ber And be wasn't going to the dance. He told me so." "He was talking to you about the dance, was be?" askei. the Inspec tor. "Asking you questions?" "Well yes," admitted Elsa. "But why abould be want to kidnap me and kill my uncle?" "Wbo la that Mr. Mahony, and where doea be live?" demanded the Inspector. "He was a friend ot Billy Ross, a friend ot mine who was very badly hurt In a motor amasb," answered Elsa. "He was staying with Billy when I met htm. I don't know wbere be la now." Nor did Lawson know wbere Ma hony waa living. In fact, nobody did. Mahony bad not yet oothered to tell anyone hla. change ot address. "Ill find his address all right be fore morning," said the Inspector. Luckily tor Mahony, that state ment waa a trifle optimistic MAHONTS first action after driv ing away from the Little's bouse was to return to the Albert Hall. He bad left hla own car In a park near the Hall, and In the man'a cloak room he bad left an overcoat, a bat, and a pair of grey flannel trousers. He hat worn the overcoat, hat, and trousers on his way to the dance, line an Arab kit la chilly wear In n open sports car on a cold winter1 evening. Since he Intended to deny that he had ever been to the dance If anybody questioned him, It waa essential that he ehould remove those thlnga before tba dance an te!iri in a quiet street In Kensington be topped the car and changed hla cos tume round, so that he now ap peared as an Arab Instead ot a monk .Leaving the car In a aide atreet near ithe Hall, he returned to the Hall on jfoot and entered. The dance was still In full awing when he arrived: the floor wa' still crowded: everything was Just as he had left It before Elsa'a kidnapping, '.except that now the dancers were lunmasked. Mahony did not unmask. Avoiding tie dance floor, he made hla way towards the men's cloak room. Halt-way to the cloak-room ha felt s auddan touch on bla shoulder. He turned. Facing blm waa tba man dressed In the coalnrae of Cbarles II who bad taken Elsa to the eilt where the men dressed as monks had aelted her, From conversation he bad heard In tba car while Elsa fwaa being taken away, Mahony know mat the man's name waa Mulgrava. Been unmasked n the brllllantlv lighted passage, he waa a dissipat ed, cynical-looking man of forty-five, with a heavily veined face, small, calculating eyes, and a heavy, brutal mouth. "So you've got back at last, have your' ha aald roughly. "Where the devil have yon been at this time? And whore are the others!" It was obvious that. Judging from Mahony'a costume, he mistook him for one ot the kidnappers. Evident ly those worthies had not returned to the Hull after their recent set back. For a moraont Mahony was unde cided how to answer. Then he had an Inspiration. "The gome's up." he said hoarse ly. "The whole scheme's a flop. The Others have all been copped by the police. I came here to grab my things fror- the cloak-room and tnske a quick getaway." The red veins In Mnlgrave'a face ahowed up suddenly against a death ly pale background. "Copped!" h gasped. " But . . . bow the bell did that happen? Our pbn was absolutely water-tight" Mnhony laughed grimly. "It's wrecked now." he aald. "And CLAIMS COUGHLIN MISLEADS FLOCK WWHTNOTON, trt.

Mahony had no Intention ot argu lna For one thing ne was too un sure ot his ground. For another he wanted to get away as soon as possi ble before the pollen arrived at tbe Albert Hall. But he wanted to take Mulgrave with him If possible. He decided to bluff. "Hell." he said. "What are you arguing the tuss about? Tbe police will be on tbelr way here now. Are you coming, or are you going to stay and be pinched?" And be resumed bis progress to wards tbe cloak-room. That decided Mulgrave. He also made tor the cloak-room. Mahony reclaimed his belongings and fairly bustled Mulgrave out tbe cloak-room and out of the Albert Hall to tbe car park where hla Aston Martin was waiting. With a roar they shot away, heading north. "Tell me exactly wbat happened; bow did tblngs go wrong?" asked Mulgrava excitedly aa they drove along. "Don't talk; I'm busy. You'll learn all about It when we get where we're going," replied Mahony shortly. HTHErtE waa a slight smile about his lips as he drove tbe car at high speed through tbe silent and empty streets. He w..s reflecting tbat as a piece of kidnapping, bis ab duction of Mulgrave had been rather neat Leaving Hampstead behind him, he headed out across the lonely heatb. Half.way across tbe heath he brought the car to a standstill. All round them waa bare grass, snd away In the distance tbe lights of Hampstead and Hlghgat twinkled brightly. Mahony switched off his headlights and turned U. Mulgrave. "Thla 1s our first stopping-place," he stated. "Get out of tbe car." "Get out of the car?" It seemed that Mulgrava did not understand. "What do yon mean?" he asked. "I mean get out of the car. I don't want you to bleed all over tbe up holstery." aald Mahony. During this speech be quietly pro duced hit pistol. Mulgrave looked a It and from It to Mahony, rather as a rabbit, paralyzed with terror, looks at a deadly anake. "B-but w-what ?" be began. "Shut up," aald Mahony, bis voice auddenly cold and savage. Mulgrave abut up. "You've been kidnapped," went on Mahony In tbe aame cruel, biting tone. "And now you're going to be murdered. At least I think you are. But maybe you're not It will all de pond on how much Information you can give me." "B-but you o-can't bring me out here, and m-murder me In o-cold blood." protested Mulgrave In a tor rifled tone. "You can't do It" "But I can," said Mahony. "Quite easily." , He spoke quietly and naturally. And yet somehow, the manner tn which he spoke made It quite clear that be would not have the slight est hesitation In shooting Mulgrave If he considered It necessary. The restitution made Mulgrave feel slightly sick. "W-w-what ts It that you want to know?" he quavered. Mahony thrust a hand Into his hip pocket and produced from It a news paper cutting. Tbe cutting waa from a oopy of the evening paper which :ho barmaid In tba wayside pub hsd been reading Just before the motor smash the previous night It con slsted ot one small prarsgraph: Mlaa Ruth s-aaar. a populei young Society Elrl. haa been mlaa Inc from the house of her guardian, Mr. tierald Lea-Kamiden. of 171 Upper llrook Strrat, Mint yester day afternoon. Mlaa FYatar, who la tn enty years old, la an Intrepid air wemaii and a well-known lennle player. Mr. ,ee-;tamd-n elate that aha left home with the inten tion of going ehopplng. and haa not r-aan heard of elnre. It la feared that aha may be Buttering from loaa or memory. Since tbe barmaid's comment on this paragraph bsd agitated Billy Ross considerably, Mahony conclud ed that Billy had known something about the young woman's disappear ance. And Mnhony felt tbat If he was going to shield Billy, It was certainly up to htm to try to undo as far as possible any bnrtn that Billy bad done. That was the chief reason why he had kidnapped Mulfrara. He wanted to ask questions. "I want to know where that girl Is." be said. lie leaued forward and switched on the dash board light In his car so tbat Mulgrave could tee the cutting clearly. tCopynt. tsj.
