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

I'm going to beat It aa aoon as I've
got my things. I've got a fast car
outside, and I know where to go.
You'd better grab your tblngs and
come with me."
"Put . . ." began Mulgrave.
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.

bluff.
