Chapter 17 SUBTLE EVASIONS THUS tt happened that when In spector Kennedy arrived at Lee Hamsden'a house, Lee-Ramsden was absent The Inspector was a patient man by nature; he sat and waited for nearly an hour Then Lee-Ramsden returned. Ho greeted the In spector genially but with an air of some surprise. "From Scotland Yard, are you? You're not the man who came before. I suppose you've come about my ward." ha said. "I don't think you need hare troubled. 1 rang np the police some time ago telling them of her return and explaining the rea son for her absence. I'm very sorry to have caused the police all this un necessary bother, and If a contribu tion of twenty guineas to the Police Orphanage would be of any use, 1 hall be glad to send along a cheque." "Thank you, sir," said the Inspec tor. "But I'd like to ask you a few questions all the same, if you don't mind." "Not s bit," said Lee-Ramsden "But you muBtn't be disappointed If I don't know some of the answers.1 "On the afternoon of your ward's disappearance, 1 understand that she waa going shopping," went on the Inspector, "She left the house and , disappeared. Am I to understand that simply on the spur of the mo ment she went off down to her friend's bouse In Sussox without bothering to let anybody know, and without taking any luggage?" "It seems like it, doesn't It?" said Leo-Ramsden carelessly. "That's the story she told me." "Do you believe that story?" asked Inspector Kennedy. Lee-Ramsden smiled, j "My dear fellow, whether I believe the story or not Is quite beside the point," he answered, "As Miss iFraser's guardian I keep a very care iful eye on all her financial Invest ments she will come Into a Isrg .fortune when she Is twenty-one, you Iknow. But so far as her personal be ibavlor Is concerned, she has com piste liberty to please herself what he does." A soraowhat cynical old gentle man, thought Inspector Kennedy, "Is your ward the kind of girl like ly to Indulge In . . . er rash and Im pulsive actions?" asked the Inspec tor. Lee-Rarasden smiled again. "I wouldn't exactly call her a milk-and-water miss," be replied, "If she particularly wanted to do anything, I Imagine she is the kind of person who would do It. and damn the con sequences. I hope so. 1 hats timid people." "And you think her story about staying with a friend In Susbsx may not be the truth?" pursued the In spector. "I don't think about It at all. It doesn't concern me wholhor It's the truth or not," answered Lee-Rams den. "And unless my ward has been up to something criminal, 1 don't see that It concerns you either. If you want to And out whether the story Is true or not, why not ring up Miss Dowson's cottage and aak her?" "yB HAVE already put through ' ' a telephone enquiry to the Hnr fleld police," stated inspector Ken nedy. "They report that Miss Dow son left the cottage this mo nlng and they don't know where shs hss gone. They slso report that, so tar as they are aware. Miss Dowson has not had any guest staying with her during the last few days." "Really. Thai's most Interesting Then my ward baa not been staying with Anna Dowson," commented Lee-Kamsden. "But even so. Inspec tor, 1 still don't see that the matter concerns you. 1 take tt that you're not running a welfare department at Scotland Yard, or starting a bureau for supervising the conduct of young girls." "Not exactly, sir," said Inspector Kennedy. "We're Interested In your niece's movoments because she claims that she was brought from Miss Dowson's cottage by a man named Mnhony, whom we suspect of murdering Mr. Vincent Little." "Suspect of . . .1" Lee-Ramsden's manner had suddenly become quite serious. "What's this you're saying. Inspector? ha ssked. Inspector Kennedy told him brief ly about the murder of Mr. Little. It seemed that Lee-Ramsden was greatly shocked by the news. Inspec tor Kennedy waa very glad to see It. SLAYER OF TWO IS KILLED BY OFFICER MT. PLEASANT. I'teh.

He escaped last night, howevri. A lew minutes latei his stcp-dat'gMer, Miss Onrliam Hlnlr It, waa shot through the head as she By HUGH CLEVELY Now, perhaps, he would get a little real information. "Are you acquainted with Terence Mabony, sir?" he asked "Only by hearsay," answered Lee Ramsden. "I've heard my ward talk ing about him. She seems greatly taken with him. So tar aa I'm con cerned, though I've never met him personally, I must confess that I'm a little prejudiced against him. He's a friend of young Ross, you know, and I never cared tor that young man. I believe that he doped." Here was real information at last The Inspector's eyes glistened. He leaned forward eagerly "And what makes yon believe that, sir?" hs enquired. Lee-Ramsden spread out his hands slightly.' "1 don't know. Nothing very much, I suppose. Only I've knocked about the world a good bit in my time, and kept my eyes open, and there are signs by which one can often tell a dope addict" "The eyes, and muscles of . the face," suggested the Inspector. "Yes," agreed Lee-Ramsden. "And a certain habit of boasting. I remem ber him telling me that he and a friend of his abroad had hit on the easiest and quickest way of making money ever Invented He wouldn't tell me what It was. Not that 1 was particularly Interested." "He and a friend of his abroad," echoed the Inspector. "He didn't mention the friend's name, I sup pose?" "No. But I imagine he meant Ma hony. Mahony was in China at the time, and Ross waa alwaya saying what a fine fellow he was," sn swered Lee-Ramsden. The Inspector asked no more ques tions; he departed In a very thought ful mood. Lee-Ramsden watchod blm go with a smile of satisfaction. Hie thoughts were disturbed by the en try of Mulllns the butler. "Miss Ruth Just rang up, sir," be announced. "I didn't disturb you be cause you were busy with the gen tleman. Miss Ruth Is bringing a friend, a Mr. Mahony, to lunch." Bringing Mr. Mahony to lunch. Is she?" said Lee-Ramsden. "That's excellent excellent. Mr Mahony is a gentleman whom I am particularly anxloua to meet 1 shall have to try to think of something really bright with which to entertain him." AFTER leaving the Little's house. Ruth and Mahonv eat Into Ruth's car and drove to a small cafe In the King's Road They round an empty corner and sat down. Ma hony ordered coffee. Ruth glanced speculatively at him. "You're angry with me, aren't you, she sold. "No," said Mahony. "No, perhaps you're not," she ad mltted. "You don't look really angry Just a little pained and grieved, and terribly patient. I suppose you think I'm an awful half-wit." "Well yes, I do rather," said Ma hony. "You see. aa an Impromptu ef fort that s-Ty yon put up about us at the Little's waa quite a bright effort. But what good Is tt going to do? All that stuff about me fetching you from the cottage . . the Inspec tor will disprove that In no time. And what are your people going to say about It? It seems to ms you've got yourself Into an unholy mlx-up." "No worse than the mlx-up I waa In when you fetched ma out of that bouse," she answered. "And I couldn't vnry well stand by and see you arrested for a murder 1 knew you hadn't committed. You see, my guardian bas told tho police that I waa staying In the country with Anne Dowson. He wouldn't bcllevi that I'd been kldnspped " "He wouldn't believe you'd beer kldnspped?" echoed Mahony. "Tboi' what on earth did he think you'd been doing?" Ruth gave him a brief account of her Interview with her guardian the prevloua evening, and her arrange ment with Anne Dowson. "That's why I said all that about you bringing me back from the cot tage In your car," she finished "What else could I say?" "Nothing very much." admitted Mahony. "But It'a an Infernally com plicated situation." It waa an Infernally complicated situation, and he simply could not lmsglne what waa going to happen next "1 wonder what your guardian -Is going to have to ssy when he finds out what's happened." be observed. "Why not come beck to lunch and meet him, and find out?" said Ruth. "After ail. I've told the Inspector that we're pretty friendly; we'd bet ter act up to It." "I'll come." stild Mahony. "Though It's rather problematical whether 1 shall atay to lunch."
