CI A The Wrong Murderer SYNOPSIS: Ruth Train hae falUd to reach Ttrtnc Uahony, who hat been betrayed by the kidnapper Ambroee Laweon and Ruth't guardian Lee-Rameden and to hat dothed to warn the gang Terence ie leading ogainet Laweon that the latter ie about to ambueh them, Ruth hae hidden in the house and a terrific light hae ensued. 1 Fatty Baeeett Terenoe'e eeeond in command, ie arranging an eeoave through a pawnehop he control, neat door to hie houee. For the bat tle hae been given away by Barney Flynn, who knocked one of Law eon'e men through a wltutots into the etreet. Charter 33 THE POLICE "TpHAT"! all right, Mr. Bassstt," taid E1L "Ton been In my back room smokln' my cigars. The furni ture van li In the back yard." "Have It brought right up agalnit the back yard at once," ordered Bassstt "An' bring me a big beet." He called up the itaJra to Barney and Chippy: "Come on, you tellers. Tou got to get away Quick. The po lice may want to tearch thlf 'ouae as well aa next door." Fatty's plana were almple and efficient. Lake's bound figure, wrapped In a big aheet, was thruat quickly Into the covered back of the ran; Barney and Chippy got in with him. Within a minute of the time when the men had entered the bouse, the .furniture ran glided away from the Iback door and was lost to sight In jthe traffic. Fatty sat down solemnly ,ln Ell's back room, lit a cigar, and -began to take a great Interest In a set of pewter tankards. Ruth, bidden behind the curtain In the house next door, beard the crash as the man Barney hit went through the window, and saw some thing dark and heavy fall past the window of the room In which she was hiding. Very cautiously she peered through the window to see what It was. Lying on the pavement out side the house was the body of a man. The crowd which had assem bled round her car was now assem bling round the fallen man, and growing In numbers every minute; from outside the house came a babel of excited conversation. Very softly she left the room and peered up the stairs. She could hear nothing. For a moment she hesi tated.' Then, nerving 'heraelf deter minedly tor the effort, ahe mounted the atatrs to the small landing. A door was open, and she stepped for ward and looked Into the room boyond. What she saw made her ahrlnk back auddenly with a gaap of hor ror. On the floor were lying the fig ures of three men. Police whistles were blowing In the street; there was a sound of banging on the front door of the bouse. Ruth went back en to the landing outside tbe room. "Mr. Bassettl Hr. Basssttl" she called. But there was no answer. Bbe was alone In the house with the three men lying on the floor of that room. Hwlftly she descended the stairs. The front door was giving; In a mo ment It would burst open. She must not be found In that house. She went down the steps to the basement and crossed the kitchen to the back door. Lnck was with her; no one was there. A few seconds later she was walking quickly along the street away from the house. BUT though she was tree for the moment, she realised that she ' was In a terrible position. Tbe po lice would know ahe had been In the house when that man's death took place; her car was still outside the front door. It only, she thought desperately, she could find Mahony; he would be able to tell her what she ought to do. Perhaps he would be at his rooms by now. She nntered a telephone-box and rang up his number, but his landlady told her he had not yet returned. At last she thought of a plan. A letter written and posted to Mahony now would reach him by the eve ning post. She must write to him and tell him of her plight, snd ask him to come and see her. She must also And a hiding-place where she could wait safely tor him In case he did not get er letter till late that night Her guardian owned an unoccupied house In the Si. John's Wood Road. If only she could get Into that house she ought to be pretty sate there for a tew hours. That would be her best hiding-place. She entered a little stationer's, Sale of en BOO-acre fnrm nrsr Pott Klamath was announced yrtrrlay oy Clinton Spenoer, manager of the real rstste department of Brown A White, reslty and Insurance agency. The transaction was described as s cash daM. The tract was purchased by J. I Hotuton, who came here from Idaho some months sgo and bought the former Reddy residence at 133 Oregon Terrace, Medford ahowplace. where he and Mrs. Houston now reside. The farm was owned by H. O. Luton of San Marino, Calif., and Is known as th old Bennett place. By HUGH CLEVELY bought a packet of note-paper and envelopes, wrote a brief note to Ma hony, and posted it Near the post box was a large cinema, and at the sight of it she paused again. In or der to reach the bouse In St John's Wood she had practically to cross London. Mahony would not receive her letter before about nine that evening; If he came In late he would not receive it till midnight or later. It would be safer for her, she re flected, to cross London after dark than In broad daylight; In the mean time she could remain fairly safely hidden Inside that cinema.' She bought a ticket and entered tbe darkness of the picture theater. With a sigh of relief, "he sank into the softly cushioned seat Here, tor Ave or six hours, she would be safe. AHONY waited for about a cou ple of hours In the empty bonse In St John's Wood Road where Lee- Ramsden bad sent blm. Tbe time passed very slowly; be chafed at his Inactivity. All the time he was won daring what was happening, what Lawson was doing, and whetbei Bassett and his band of toughs would have bad time to take advan tage of the warning Lee-Ramsden was supposed to have sent them. It was about tour In he afternoon when be heard a sound of wheels on the gravel drive that led up to the bouse. Looking through the window he saw that a car bad Irawn up at the front door. Two men were dls mounting from It one of whom was carrying a subcase. Tbank heaven.: thought Mahony, hen at last was his disguise. He went down and opened the front door. One of the men spoke to him. "Is your name MabonyT" be asked. "Yes." answered Mahony. "I and my friend have been sent here with directions to disguise you so that no one can recognize you," said the man. Good. Come along Inside," in vited Mahony. He showed them Into the empty drawing-room. Is this job going to take long?" he asked. Half an hour or so," answered the man. "It Isn't easy to disguise a man In a way that will defy detec tion. Now do you mind standing hnre, well In the light and keeping quite still?" He stood In front of Mahony, look ing him up and down, while his com panion wandored restlessly about the room. "Stand qulto still," he said. And as he spoke, he made a bad mistake. His glance left Mahony, staring over his shouldor at bis com panion, who was just behind Ma bony, and there was an expression of tense excitement In his eyes that could not be accounted tor by any Interest he took In transforming Mahony's appearance. - Mabouy turned sharply, moving slightly to one side. That movement just save blm. The clubbed revolv er, wielded by the man behind him, missed bis head and struck him a glancing blow on the shoulder. That blow hurt Mahony; It also angered blm. It seemed to blm that everywhere he went be encountered troachery, and he was fed up with It With a sharp, vicious movoment he brought over bis right flat In a short hook, and all the strength of his anger and all the power of his right shoulder were behind the blow. It took the man who had Just struck at him fairly on the angle ot the jaw. With a heavy bump the man sprawled flat on his back. And then Mnhony sprang at the other man; as he did so the man sprang to meet him. There was a brief, florce Interchange ot blows, each man hitting out with all his strength. The light lasted about twenty seconds. A tremendous right cross to the jaw followed by a left hook to the stomach ended It Ma hony's opponent sank to the ground out for the count Both bis adversaries were, for tbe lime being, out of action. He stepped quickly across the room, and opened the suit-case w h I o h ' they bsd brought It contained nothing but a coll ot strong rope. Mahony laughed a trifle grimly at that. Ho turned out the pockets of the two men, then tied them securely with the rope they bsd brought with which to tie him. There was nothing of any great Interest In their pock ets, but both men, be noticed, had cards of membership of the Golden Centipede Club. Evidently that otnb was used by nearly all Lawson's I hand of crooks. Leaving the two men tied up on l the floor of the empty drawing- room, he left the house. (Copyright. lt)t.
