NOVEMBER 3, 1986. - M The Wrong Murderer SYNOPSIS: Tersnos Mahony has con-ierted part of Ambrose Law son's gang to the plan of "getting" Lawson. the racketeering chief Of a kidnapping and dope running band. But Terence has troubles of his own. Blsa Little believes that he stabbed her uncle, and Ruth Fraesr, intending to help Terence in return tor his reecuing her from Lawson's gang, has given a false alibi for him which does harm.

"You could get him away from her all right, my dear Elsa, If you liked," he replied. "I think he's a lot more Interested In you than he Is In her. If yon could make her Jealous she might turn against him." , "What . . . I" exclaimed Elsa. Lawson smiled. Actually the re mark he had Just made Idly, on the spur of tue moment, struck him as an Idea with possibilities In It. But he didn't want to ko Into that now. "Don't yon both-jr your head any more tonight about Miss Fraser, or anybody else," he said In a Arm but kindly tone. "Yon go tc bed and get n good night's rest. I'm not going to talk to you any mora now. Good sight, Elsa." . With that he rang oft. Elsa replaced the receiver slowly, and then sat down to think some more. Lawson's suggestion had started v curious train of thought -working iu her bead. A prominent film actress, noted for her beauty, can hardly fall to be conscious of her powers of attraction. Elsa was not conceited, bnt ahe knew from oxperlence that men fell easily in lore with her. Both Ruth and Law son had suggested that Mahony was attracted by her. If be was . . . A curiously Intent, set look came over ber lovely face us she sat there lone In that room thinking. She was considering a plan which she hated, but which she meant to carry out If Mahony was attracted by her, she meant to use that attraction to free Ruth from his clutches, and to bring about bis own downfall and avenge her uncle. It would be hateful doing It, but her only weapons were her wtt and beauty, and sho was entitled to use them In the fight against her rncle's murderer. At last, with a sigh, she rose from ber chair, walked wearily to her bed room, and wont to jed. Mianwhl'.e Lawson sat on In his study, smoking clgnrot at or clgaret, and waiting for a tolcphone call which did not come. VT AHONY had Juat finished break fast, and was smoking a clgarst, when his landlady announced that a lady wished to see him. "Please show her in," he said. His landlady withdrew. There was a sound of footsteps crossing the hall. The door opened, and Elsa Little stood In the doorway, , Mahony rose quickly from his ehalr. Ho folt confused and awk ward, and utterly astonished. "Miss Little!" hi exclaimed, as if he pould hardly believe It was she. Elsa was not an actress for noth ing; she knew how to play a part. She entered the room shyly, hesitat ingly, as If unsure ot her welcome; her voice, when she spoke, was sub dued and timid. "I I don't auppose you want to aee me, but I had to come," abe said falterlngly. "I want to Bay how aorry I am tor the things I said yesterday morning. I I was epsot: I hardly knew what I was saying." "You mean you Jon't suspect me of killing your uncle!" said Mahony In a delighted tone. Mahony's hoart beat fastor with excitement as he waited for her an swer. "Well ... 1 did think I recognised your voice In the room," she admit ted hesitatingly. "But I couldn't have If you wore with Ruth when It happened. It must have been some body with a voice something like yours." That made Mahon feel rather awkward. He had a momentary Im pulse to tell her the whole truth that It had been his voice, but that all the same he had not killed her uncle. Bettor not, though, he thought not yet "I can' - tell you how glad I am you don't suspect me any more." he snld. "I hated your thinking that It was I who had killed your uncle." His voice and mannor gave the Im pression of absolute sincerity, and for a moment Elsa was puttied. If Price Of Copper Jumps In Export NEW YORK. N..V. S.

I By HUGH CLEVELY this was acting, It was very good acting. And then she decided that It was acting. But she smiled charm ingly. "I didn't like suspecting yon," she said. "You see, I I -ather liked you when I met you before.- and It was an awful shock to me to think thai that you'd done that." "I'm Just as anxious to bring the murderer to Justice as you are," said Mahony. He hesitated. "Now that you don't think I did It, may I see you again some time?" he asked awkwardly, "Oh, yes, I'd like to see you again Come to dinner at my house tonight That will show everyone 1 don't bur pect you," she answered promptly "Thank you very much," said Ma bony gratefully. There came a knock on the door ; the landlady announced a gentle man to see Mr. Mahony. The gen tleman was Inspector Kenaedy, ac companied by another plain-clothes man; they entered In an abrupt, business-like manner, but stopped short In surprise on seeing Mabony and Elsa together In the room, ap parently engaged ' in friendly con vernation. fiOOD morning, Inspector," said Elsa. "I've Just been telling Mr. Mabony how sorry 1 am tor all the silly things I said about him yester day." Inspector Kennedy did not know what to make ot this at all. Actually, be had coma to the house In order to arrest Mahony. But now he thought be would wait a bit. "You mean you've withdrawn the accusations you made yesterday," he said. "I expect Mr. Mahony Is pleased." "I am. Very pleased," answered Mahony. And he looked pleased. The fact that Elsa said she no longer sus pected him was a groat weight off his mind. "I must be going now," said Blsa. "IU see yon this evening, Mr. Ma hony." "I'll walk with you to your car, Miss Little," put In Inspector Ken nedy quickly. He escorted her to tho car, and held the door open for ber to enter. Thon be stood for a moment with one foot on the running-board, eye ing ner keenly. "Am I really to understand that you have abandoned your suspicions of Mahony, Miss Little?" he asked. Elsa shook her head. Her face was pale; the Interview with Mahony had been a strain o . ber. "No," sho answered In a low voice. "I haven't abandoned any of my sus picions. But I want him to think I have." Inspector Konnedy said nothing; he morely looked at her enquiringly. It seemed she folt that some further oxpanlatlon was called for. "I I think he likes me." she went on in an embarrassed manner. "I want to get him away from Ruth to save her from blra, and to to try to make him fool ijulte confident, and relax his guard, and sny more than be menns to." "I soe. You moan to vamp him, get him where you want him, and then hand him over to me?" suggested tha Inspector. Put like that It did not sound very nice. Elsa nushod. "Do you think I care what I do. if l can convict my uncle'a murdoror?" she asked pnsslonntely. "Besides, what's going to happea to Ruth If If things go on as they are? She's much too nice to ruin her reputation and get bersolf Into all kinds of dreadful scandals tor the sake of a man like him. Somebody's got to In terfere botwoen her and him." "You think she's completely un dor his Influence at proscnt, do you?" snld the inspector. "Yes. complotcly," answered Elsa. "Though how he obtained such an Influence over her In one meeting I don't know But ho'a clevor, horribly clever; be sooms so honest and de cent, and he's such a rotter under neath It all." Inspootor Kennedy's quick mind pounced Immediately on one sen tence In her last speech. "You say he obtained his Influence over Miss Fraser In one meeting. I certainly had no such Impression In faot, I had a very different one. What do you mean by that?" he asked. "Ruth told me that before they me t yesterday at my home, sho'd only aoen him once," replied Elsa. "At least, she didn't exactly tell me. It sort ot slipped out." The young Inspector's keen face was alight with Interest. Evidently he regarded what Elsa had Just said ni very Important lndoed. Copyright. IMS.
