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

men. In different tail boxes In dlt
terent parts of London, were rln.

succession.
At last, thoroughly dispirited, she
left the post office. Her car was out

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."
