"You're looking rather pleased with yourself this morning. What's teen happening?" "As a matter of tact, I'm feeling rather pleased," answered Mahony. "I've just had a llt from Miss Little. She doesn't suspect me of murdering her uncle any more." ! "That's good." said Lee-Ramsden. "I don't wonder that you're pleased." But Ruth frowned, and looked at Mahony In a puzzled manner. "She doesn't suspect yon any longer. Are you sure? What makes jrr think U-at?" she asked. "She ssld so," replied Mahony. "She toldjno she was all wrought up and nervy yesterday, and hardly knew what she was saying." "She told you that she didn't sus pect you any more?" asked Ruth In credulously. ' "She told me so herself," answered Msbony Impatiently. "And she In Tlted ma to dine with her this eve sing. That doesn't look as If she till suspected me. does Itr' "I don't know," eald Ruth slowly There was aomethlng Tory wrong here, she felt Waa Elsa setting a trap for him?" "Don't you go to dinner with bar,' he said Impulsively "I'm sure she till suspects yon. She's got some reason for Inviting you to dinner. Mahony felt very awkward; he thought Rutb was 'ielng silly. Ha did not quite know bow to tell ber po litely that he bad no Intention of refusing EBlsa's Invitation. Rutb saw what was passing In his mind. She realized that nothing would Induce hlra to refuse Elsa'a : Invitation. "All right; do what you like. I'm going for a walk," she said In a somewhat muffled voice, and turned hastily and left the -oora, slamming th door after her. Mabonv looked astonished. Old l4e-Ramsden made a slight gesture ks If to Indicate that there waa noth ing to be aatonlsbed a? out "Women, my dear Mahony, are queer creaturea; they have those moods, you know," be remarked irily. "What else has been hap pening to you during the last twelve hours?" "Quit a tot," answered Mahony, and he began to toll Lee-Ramsden about bla adventures In Llmehous. Ruth did not go tor walk. She went Into the hall, jut on a raincoat and hat, opened the front door, and (ben ohanged ber mind. She wanted to be alone, to think. She closed the front door again, went up to her guardian study, and sat down In a large arm-cbalr. CHE felt very miserable and help 3 less, and aa ahe rat huddled 'n te big arm-chair, the tears ran Slowly down her cheeks What could she do: how could she save Mahony? After a lime she hesrd the from loor open, and her guardian's voice in the ball below bidding Mahony good-bye. The front door closed; she heard her guardlan'a footateps ascending the stalra to the study. He epened the door and entered. Rutb shrank back In the big chair nd remained quite still. She hoped Lee-Ramsden would aot see her; she did not want him to know that she had been crying. He crossed the room, humming a (litis tune, went to bis desk, raised the telephone rece'ver, and gave a number. In a s'cond or two she hesrd him speaking. "Is that ynu, Lawson? I've Just been having a talk wltb our young friend Mahony. I oan tell you what as happened to you missing man. Lake; he's Imprisoned at number seven. Royal Road, PennyOelds.

Thank you IH take steps to deal wltb those peo-Fl- and Mahony. straight away." Rutb aat quite still, absolutely horror-stricken. She found it almost impossible to believe that ber guar dian, who bad pretended to be so firmly on Mahony's side, was betray ing blm to bla enemies. Lee-Ramsden replaced the re ceiver and resumed his humming Then, for half a second. Ms bumming checked. Sticking out from the side of a big chair which had Ita back towards him, he bad aeen a small niece of blue material the material of which Ruth's frock was made Ruth waa In that chair. Obviously she bad beard every Word he had said. He gave no Indication of havlnp seen ber. Much better let her think (or the moment, that she bad not been spotted. Stlil bumming, he turned eway from the desk anc walked out of the oom. Aa he left the study his mind was working very quickly He knew thai Ruth's first action would be to warn Mabony of what sh had overheard. And he made up bis mind that bis first action must be to prevent her from doing so. At the bottom of the stairs thai led down from the study he atopped md spoke tew words to Mulllns. his butler. Then he en Into the drawing-room and waited for a mo ment After that he emerged Into the hall again and called: "Ruth, m) dear, are you anywhere about?" Ruth, still In the study, beard him call. As Lee-Ramsden bad guessed her one Idea waa to nam Mabony of his danger. Very cautiously she emerged from the study, walked quietly a few pacea ilong the corrl dor, opened and closed ber bedroom door, and called hack aa naturall) as she could: "Did you call, Uncle Gerald?" T EE-RAMSDEN, down below In the bali. smiled. He saw through that little trick of opening and shut ting the bedroom door. "Yes, I'd like to have a little chat with you. I won't keep you long," an swered Lei-Ramsdan. Rutb descended the stairs and en tered tbe drawing-room. She war possessed of a wild Impatience to get out of the house and telephone to Mnhony. "What Is It?" she said. "I was Just going out." "1 won t keep you tor more than ten minutes, my dear," aald Lee Ramsden. "1 want to ask your ad vine about re decorating this room." For ten minutes he talked to ber on the subject of decorations, asking questlona which she managed to an swer somehow. When the conversa tion waa over, she slipped on t bat and coat and left the house. Lee-Ramsden heaid the front door close behind her, and went Into the hall. "Well, Mulllns?" he asked. "I rang up Mr. Mahony's house," luwera Mulllns. "I told him you wanted to speak to him at once, most urgently, and ba waa to loava the house at once and meet you In the Lyons tea-shop in Par"- 8treeu He said he'd go right away." Excellent," aald Lee-Ramsden. 'When Ruth rings she'll Snd he's gone. Just to make quite sure she doesn't ontch him, ring up sgaln and talk to the landlady for a few min utes It doesn't ma ter much what you say so long as you keep the num ber engsged (or a fen minutes." He himself put on a hat and coat a-d took l taxi to the Lyons tea-ahoi Ir Park Street. Mahony Fas alread) there, sealed at a table. Lee-Ratm den'a face wore an expression of ins loua concern as he diade his way tc wvds htm. "I'm afraid I've got bad newa to: you very bad newa," he aald "When my butler rang you up. In pector Kennedy had Juat left m bouse and was on bis way to arrest you." "Oh!" aald Mahony. "Why haa he suddenly made up his mind to arrest me?" Lee-Ramsden hesitated, as It hs lardly liked to go on. "1 fear that waa Ruth'a doings." he went jn. "The poor child Is ter rimy sorry now for what shs'a done; aha waa In tears when I left ber." What has ahe done?" asked Ma hony. She's told Kennedy that yon didn't see her till some time after the murder and she also told blm tha you employed a gang of crlml nals In tbe East End who bad 1m prisoned a men nsmed Lake and were hiding a wanted man named Flynn.
