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.

"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.
