RUTH'S WARNING
7HEN the Inspector had gone,
Mahony left bis lodging! and
went round to Lee-Ramsden's bouse
Ho was shown Into the drawing
room where Ruth and Le-Rsmsden
were seated.
j "Hallo," said Lte RuraslPn cheer,
fully. "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

"It Interests me a lot. Thank you

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

(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

drawing-room and waited for a mo

hall again and called: "Ruth, m)
dear, are you anywhere about?"
Ruth, still In the study, beard him

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

doesn't ontch him, ring up sgaln and

"When my butler rang you up. In

Lee-Ramsden hesitated, as It hs

"1 fear that waa Ruth'a doings."
he went jn. "The poor child Is ter
