NOVEMBER 6, 1936. ff The Wrong Murderer SYNOPSIS: rmnii Uahony to only one lump ahead ol Inspector Kennedy, who would have arrested htm lor the murder ol Vincent Lit tie but lor Ulsa Utile niece ol the murdered man. She la a cinema oc tree, and plant to cinch the caee against Terence by vamvina him and securing additional informa' lion. Ruth Fraser hat tried to warn Terence :now Lee-Ramsden. Ruth's scheming, tricky guardian, has be trayed Terence to Ambrose Late son, the real murderer, and is blaming Ruth tor his action. CBapter 30 LEE-RAM8DEN'S PLAN "OCT how did Miss Praser know about Fatty Bassett?" asked Terence. Lee-Ramsden shrugged. "She said be was going tor a walk. She didn't go tor a walk; she listened outside the door and heard all we were saying." "But why has she turned against met" Old Lee-Ramsden shrugged his shoulders. 'Hell holds no fury like a woman scorned,' " h quoted. "Ruth Is In lore with you, Mabony. And . . . well, you did rather push Elsa Little down her throat this morning. But ( didn't suspect that her jealousy would lead her to such extremes. It was only a momentary madness. She's sorry tor It now, and would glre anything to undo what she's done." "Oh damnl" said Mabony In a hopeless tone. Things could not very well be much worse, he thought. Yet. In the middle ot bis own worry he telt sor ry tor Ruth. Poor kid. be reflected, she must be feeling pretty rotten. He looked up at Lee-Ramsden with an air ot decision. "I must warn those men ot mine, BasBett and tho others, at once," he aid. "They've been warned," answered Lee-Ramsden. "While Mulllna was telephoning you I rang up that num ber you told me and warned Bassett. He has promised to ring me later and let me know whore they're all gone." "That's tine," said Mahony In a tone of relief. 1 suppose I'd better lie low and try to get Into touch with them as soon as I can." "Yes. And so far as lying low Is concerned, 1 can hi yoi' up. I own a honse In the St. John's Wood Road which Is empty at present. I'll give yon the key and you can go there and wait till yon hear from me again. Here's the key; the house Is number Bit. You'd better get there as quickly and quietly as you can before anybody spots you." He handed over the key and they left the tea-shop. Lee-Ramsden re lumed to his own bouse. He was well satisfied with bis morning's work. Mahony was out of mischief tor the time being. Ruth also was ont ot mischief. Lee-Ramsden calculated that, find ing she could not get Into, touch with Mahony by telephone, she would go round to his digs and leave s note for him. That note would never reach him. RUTH acted as Lee-Ramsden had calculated. To begin with, she tried to ring Mahony up. For ten minutes she tried to ring him up, only to And his number was engaged Falling to get Into touch with him that way, she got out her car and drove round to his lodgings. His landlady told ber that Mr. Mabony hsd gone out a tew minutes previously In a great hurry; be had sot said where he was going, but she was expecting him In for lunch. Ruth debated In her mind for a moment; should she wait, or shouldn't she? Bhe decided not to wait; every moment she waited meant a moment's delay In warning Bassett and the other members ot Mahony's band In the East End. She left a brief note for Mahony, telling him what had happened, made ber way to the nea.est post offloe, and rang up the number that she had heard her guardian tell Lawson. The number was engaged. She waited a couple ol minutes and rang ag:n Still the number was engaged AkhIu she wallod, and rang up. and yot again, and each time the num ber was engaged. She wasted nearly a quarter of an hour trying to ring BtusetU Law son bad taken his own precautions gainst anybody sending a warn lng to Bassett by telephone. Three men. In different tail boxes In dlt terent parts of London, were rln. lng Bassett's number, putting In calls one after the other In rapid succession. At last, thoroughly dispirited, she left the post office. Her car was out MYSTERY HE IS BLAMED ARCTIC LOOTING BARROW, Alaska.

By HUGH CLEVELY side the post office ana she stepped Into It and set off at once for the East End. Since she could not get Bassett on the telephone, she In tended to warn him In person. Her car waa a long, rakish two seater that could move, and she was a good driver; In spite of the traffic she made good time through the city. Pennyflelds. she knew waa somewhere off the East India1 Dock Road. A short distance down the East India Dock Road she stopped and asked a policeman the way to Royal Street Ho looked at ber In some surprise. "You'll cause a bit of sensation, miss, if you drive along Royal Street in that car," he told her. "I can't help that. I'm going there," she answered. "And I'm In a hurry." He shrugged his shoulders and directed her 8he drove a lltn rnr ther along the East India Dock Road, turned to the right, and plunged Into the maze ot mean, nar row, crooked streets fringing the bank of the Thames. IN a few minutes she reached Royal Street and and drove slow ly along It The house she wanted was next door to a small, dingy pawnshop. She stepped out of the car, crossed the pavement and rapped on the front door. After a short delay the door was opened by a little, squinting, bow-legged man, dressed In a disreputable cbeck suit He stared at her and from her to the car In undisguised astonish ment "An' wot can I do for you, Miss?" he asked with an air of exaggerated politeness. "I want to aee Mr. Bassett at once; It's very urgent," answered Ruth quickly. There was a sound of great urgen cy In her tone, and the man did not waste time arguing. "Hey, Fatty," be bawled. "Well, wot la It, Chippy?" "Qrota Oarbo's called," answered Chippy. There was a sound of heavy foot steps, and the frowzy, disreputable figure of Fatty Bassett appeared at the top of the stairs leading down to the basement kitchen. He too looked In surprise at the delnty fig ure of Ruth, and past ber at the lux urious car outside. "Strutbl" he observed. Ruth went forward quickly. "Are you Mr, Bassett?" she said. I've come to warn you, a man named Ambrose Lawson knows all about you. He knows that Terence Mabony was bore last night and that you've got a prisoner named Lake and that you rs hiding a man named Flynn." The 'ell 'e doesl" exclaimed Bassett In a startled tone. "An 'ow d'you know this?" he demanded. Let's ave the yarn, quickly. Lord knows that It you're right we ain't got no time to lose." "I'm a friend of Terence Mahony." answered Ruth. "I heard' a man named Lee-Ramsden, tfo pretend ed to be friendly to Mr. Mahony, telephone to Lawson. I tried to get you on the telephone to warn you, but the number was always en gagd." "That's right e n o u g h. Some blighter's been ringing me In the pawnshop next door tor the last hour, and I can't get any sense out of Mm," answered Bassett "Maybe ' waa only ringing mr so that no body else couldn't get at me. In that case something Is going to 'appen pretty soon. Hey, Barney, Slim." There was a further sound of foot steps as his men hurried to answer his call. Then, from the back door In the basement, the same door by which Mahony had enterod the house the provtous night, there sounded three sharp raps, a short pause, and then another rap. Now, 1 wonder 'oo the 'ell that Is," said Bnssett, frowning. "There's none of my blokes likely to be callln' now. I dare say It Isn't one of my blokes; maybe It's somebody 'oo knows the signal and 'as a nasty surprise tor us. Well, we'll see It we can surprise 'Ira, or them. 'Ere, you three." He drew his men aside Into a small room and gave them low- voli-ed directions wulch Ruth could not hear. They begnn to mount the stairs that led to the upper portion of the house. Then Bassett turned to Ruth, and In that moment she could soe the qualities which made him the leader of this rufllanly-look-lng gang. There was an air of shrewd, business-like eDlclenry about him; his mnmior waa curt and doclslve. He Jerked his thumb to wards the front door. "You op It, lady," he commanded. "An' toll your bloke, Mahony. to ring me up at thnt number 'e knows some time this evonln'. I want a talk with him." (Copyright. lSt. ttuch Clevely) The surprlHrt gat a surprlM, Monday.
