Either Terence gets the evidence to con vict Ambrose Laweon ol the mur der of Vincent Little, or he and Ruth Fraeer etand trial tor that deed Laweon eece a good oppor tunlty to do away with Uahony without too much excitement, and is instructing the leaders of hie band ol crooks about the means ol doing it. Chapter 41 ELSA'8 NEW IDEA "DASSETT Is hidlnj him," laid Lawson. "It shouldn't ba dif ficult to And out where. Bassett doesn't amount to much. I can sue (est a couple of easy ways of find ing out where Mahony Is, Either end some of your men to pretend to Join Bassett's crowd, and pass on any information they can get hold of, or capture one of Bassett's men and knock hell out of him till be tells you where Mahony Is. Now get on with It. As an encouragement to you to put your backs Into It, I'm offer ing a thousand pounds tor the proofs of Mahony s death." He rose from his seat, nodded curt ly to the men sitting round the table, and left the room, satisfied with the Impression he bad created. Ba re-entered his waiting car and drove back to his house. There be was told that Elsa Little wished to see blm. She was waiting for blm In his study, and her face looked pale and worried. He smiled at ber. "It's nice of you to come and see me," he said, "Inspector Kennedy told me about your Interview with Mahony last night That was elever Idea, and It seems to have had the desired effect. It can only be a matter of daya, or even hours, be fore the police catch him." "Yes, I know," said Elsa rather faintly. "That that's what I've come to see you about You see I don't want them to catch him." "You don't want them to catch him?" echoed Lanson In a voice of genuine astonishment "But . why, what's happened. Only yester day you were dead keen on bringing him to book for your uncle's mur der." "Yes, I ... I know," said Elsa. "1 thought he had killed my uncle then I don't think so now." "I'm afraid I don't understand at all." he said. "It's rather difficult to explain, answered Elsa. "I know I laid a trap (or him last night, and he fell Into It In a way. That talk Terence Ma- bony had with me last night has convinced Inspector Kennedy that he killed my uncle. But It has con vlnced me that he didn't kill him." "Isn't that enough for you?" asked Lawson. CHE shook ber head. "No. You soe, I was In the room with him, watching his face, notic ing bis expression. I'd never hsd the obanca of really talking to him before, v I'm certain be was telling the truth when be said he didn't kill my uncle." "I see," said Lawson. He walked to and fro for a few seconds, frowning thoughtfully This change of mind on Else's part was quite unexpected. But be could not see that It mattered much. "1 don't see that you can do very much about It he stated. "I must do something about It: I ean't let them hang him," said Elsa passionately. She hesitated. "I was wondering If I couldnt help him to get out of the country for a time to go somewhere where the English law can't touch him.' she went on. "Then, while be was away, I could get private detectives and people to work to prove him in nocent." Lawson was on the point of telling her that her Idea was quite Imprac ticable, but suddenly checked him self. The glimmerings of an Idea bad suddenly occurred to him. "I don't care how much 1 spend," went on Elsa. "Surely there could be some way of arranging It?" "It might be possible," admitted Lawson eaullously. "But it would be very difficult To start with, how would you get Into touch with Ma hony?" "I don't know." said Elsa In a hopeless tone. "Thai's the trouble. I don't see how I can get Into touch with him." "Personally, It hss never occurred to me to doubt Mahony's guilt," he itatcd. "But then, If he's Innocent, 1 don't want blm to hang." He shrugged his shoulders slight ly and smiled. LOSES SUI1 TO COLLECT DAMAGE FROM EUGENE PAPER EUGENE, Nov. 10. Aftffr 15 minute' deliberation, a circuit court Jury dlMulMM the 2fl,000 lib, ault of Chulf Clwntu, farmer, against the Ounrd Publlahtng company. Bnon Catvon. Portland attorney represent ing Clement. Indicated he would ap peal the caso. The Jury'a finding was on that por tion of the atilt which claimed Mr. Clements had been libeled by publi cation In the Hefiijtter-OuaTd of atorlea stating he had made threat of violence an n Inst road orker on the route "PM project, should thay enter hi property prior to a right-of-way settlement. The Jury held the statements sustained by evidence to facts. That portion of the suit In which It was claimed Mr. Clemeut had suf "In any case, If you believe he's Innocent, and It will make yon on happy If he's h-rsed. I'm willing to du my best to help blm," he con tinued. "Let's consider bow you can set about It" "To begin with, we've got to get Into touch with blm. That man Bas sett will most likely know where he Is. The best thing you can do is to see Bassett and try to arrange a meeting with Mabony." "And what shall I say to Bassett?" asked Elsa. "Shall 1 Just tell him I want to help Mr. Mahony to get abroad?" "1 don't think I should do that" answered Lawson. Ha paused again. This business needed thinking out very carefully. "As I say, 1 -don't like Mabony, but from what I've seen of the fel low, 1 don't think be'd consent to go abroad," he went on slowly. "He's a fighter, and, whatever the conse quences, he's the sort of man to stay here and fight things out to the end." "Then what am I to do?" asked Elsa hopelessly. "The only way will be to take things Into your own bands and send blm whether he wants to go or not" answered Lawson. "In other words, Shanghai him. Stick blm on board a ship with Instructions to the cap tain not to let blm go till he's well out of harm'a way. I think I can help you In that." "Y'OD mean kidnap him and put 1 blm on board a ship?" asked Elsa In a horrified tone. "Exactly." said Lawson. "But , . . that would be rather treacherous." objected Elsa In a pro testing tone. "I don't think I should care to do that. I've led him Into s trap once; I hate the Idea of doing it again." "I know exactly how you feel about It," said Lawson sympathetically. "Il may not aeera very nice to trick him Into meeting you again and then have him kidnapped and hidden out of the way. but tor bis own sake. It's the greatest service you could possibly render blm." His voice wss very persuasive, and there seemed to be good sense In bis arguments. "I suppose yoij're right," admitted Elsa hesitatingly. "Of course I'm right." replied Lawson. "You get In touch with Bassett and let me know what hap pens, and I'll make all the othei arrangements." "Very well," agreed Elsa. "I'll do that." Elsa's Interview, with Bassett wai arranged with an ease that surprised her. The Interview took place In the small front sitting-room of a house in Brixton. Acting on her In structions from Lawson, Elsa would tell Bessett nothing excopt that sh bad a communication of the greatest Importance to make to Mahony. "What's It about?" asked Bassett "I can't tell anybody except him, answered Elsa. "1 must see him my self. If I can't see blm I shan't tell anyone what 1 have to say." She looked at Bassett defiantly. She hated the thought that Ma hony was banding himself wltb people like the man in front of her. "All I'm asking you Is to give mj message to him tell him that I wanl to see him." ahe went on urgently "I'll pay you for doing It If yon like How much do you want?" Patty Bassett did not answer foi a moment He merely looked at her Then he spoke. "I'm a crook," he said. "I maki my llvln' dishonestly. I expect yon know that don't 'yer?" Elsa hesitated for a moment Eli was not sure how to answer. An' Bassett's cold, unwinking glano fixed on her face, made her feel . trifle uncomfortable. "Well ... I suspected you were. she answered rather weakly. An now I m tellln' you 1 am,' went on Bassett "An now you knov. you've come to the right person don't you? Becsuse when one of yot society people wants somethlni dirty done, they always pay a crook to do It for them." Elsa flushed indignantly. "But I don't want anything dlrlv done," she burst out "How dare you suggost such a thing. My only rea son tor wanting to get Into touct wlth Mr. Mahony la to help him." Bassott wont on staring at her with shrewd, herd eyes. He did not want the same thing to happen ai when Mahony had last met her. Of course, money is money," h went on In a business-like tone.
