FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1936. 2 & The Wrong Murderer By HUGH CLEVELV SYttOrsttt: Intprrtor Utnnedv ha given Ttteno Mahnnjf and Ruth Praeet a tuo hour tttirt ol $h law beeaM he think Trne may turn up imtiurtant Itiliirmatton agiinet Amhroee .avion leaflet ol a gang 01 tjTOtitt Out f.aueim t guilty ol the mwdet lot which Ter eitee l blamed nntt expert to put Terene out of the van htmtell. And now he i toorktno through Blaa IMtle cinema tnt who want to help Terence and ejpecte to hnv him kidnapped and run nut ol the cmtiilry while the eollenl evidence in hi lavor. Chapter it EL8A DETERMINED "ITOT was ton tblnkln' of offer ' ' IngT" Basselt asked. "I'll pay you anything yon like tf you'll arrange for me to tee him.' protested Else: earnestly. "And I'm not thinking of trying to harm hint 1 want to help him." Her sincerity was erldent; so Baa sett abandoned his suspicion!. He smiled, and suddenly hi fat. curt alng face became astonishingly' ge nial and human. "Or! right, mlaa: I was only tryfti yer out," he aald. "If Mr. Mahony IS wlllln' to see yer. I'll Si up a meetln' An' there's no question of any money botweeri yon an' me. I'm out tor 'elp Mr. Mohony Just aa much as you ire." His face hardened suddenly. "But If anytbln' was to 'appen to llr. Mahony through this meellrt with you, I'm tellln' yer plain, I wouldn't be In your shoes afterwards (or all the gold In the Bank of Eng land." That concluded the Interrlcw be tween tiiemt aiffl they parted Blsa lelt somewhat guilty after she had left Basselt. She had no duubl thai tfter Mahony bad been kidnapped Basselt would think that ahe had betrayed him, and. In spite of the (act that Basselt was a self-confessed trook. she did not want hint to think that of her. Yet, In a way. she was un doubtedly planning to betray Maho oy as she bad betrayed bint before. But Lawson soon banished all bet (ualma and doubts. He did It very lleverly. "So Bassctt threatened you, did bet" bo said. "Well, then. If yon take toy tip, you'll abandon the whole Idea of trying to help Mahony From what I'M beard. Basiutt is the kind Of man who earrles out bll threats, and It's not worth helping Mahony If you're going to have a bad car ac eldent, or have your beauty spoiled by an accurately Sung broken bottle, afterwards." "! don't ear what happen after wards tf 1 can help him." aald Blsa dofluntly, as Lawson had known she would. "1 got biro Into this trouble and It's up to me to get him oul of It 1 shan't abandon the Idea at all." "If you take my advice " began Latvaon, . "1 don't want any advice," Inter rUpted Elsa. "All 1 want I lb help you promised me." "Very well. If you're determined to go on with the Idea, 1 suppose I shall have to help you," said Lawson In resigned vole. When Basselt (eft Bis b want straight to Mshony and reported the result of the Interview to him. "You know guv'ner, I was all against 'erat first: I thought she was wantln' to do the dirty on yer. Ilk ahe did when you met 'r before," he stated. "But I changed me mind. I think she's on the straight this time t think she' really out to 'elp yer." "1 DARE soy she Is," replied Ma 1 bony smiling. "But she' mar veloue actress, you know, Fatty. She took main once, and while I wouldn't profess to be such an authority on women as you are, I wouldn't put It past hei- to take you In, There are one or two things about all this tkal strike me aa a bll queer. "In the first place, what mad her think of trying to get Into touch with me through yout She may have thought of It herself, but It doesn't strike me aa the kind of thing that would occur to her unless someone els suggested It Then. If she's gol Information to give me. why mual she ee me personally to glv It ( Why can't she write It out and send It to ms through you?" He paused, smiling. "Personally. I bellev that hr would help me If she could." he went on. "But 1 think there )ust potsl blllty that eh mny have anked some on some old friend of hers, per haps to help her to help me. ami he may have generously agreed, and may be using her as cloak for his own schemes against me." "You think Lawson may b behind this somewhere f" queried .BassatL "1 suppose yoi won't meet her. then?" "Your supposition Is entirely In correct." replied Mahony cheerfully. "If Lawson Is behind this, and la planning some ambush for me. I should bate to disappoint the poor fellow. He's had rather a lot of dis appointments lately. "You III an appointment for m with her In some nice, Isolated, lone ly house; be sure you and some place where almost anything might happen without anybody bulling In to disturb the fun and games, and let Miss Little know where this ap pointment I to take place 8v or six hours beforehand, so tbaf If friend Lawson Is going to pop up with some dirty scheme, he'll Have plenty of time to make all bis prep rations. When you've flsed (very thing- up. let me know, and I'll tell you what else to do." Fatty Baaeett sniffed disparag ingly. I shouldn't take too many chances, guv'ner," h said. "I ean see you're laying a trap for Lawaon. bnt don't forget he'b get abart four times the number of men that i have. and If It comes to a free for all In some lonely place, there's more than a chance that they may prove too many for us, oven If we do take 'em by surprise." "They'll be too many for us all right. If It comos to a tlghi " an swered Mahony. "But don'f worry about that yet. And another thing. Not a word about this to Mix rra aer, If she knows I've got some bin scheme on. she'll want to be IB It. and 1 don't want to run any risk of anything happening to her." IAWSON waited lit some anxiety for Mahony' answer to ICIaa'i request for a moellng. Ml auawei arrived thnf nlghti Massed gi Into touch With Blsa by telephone and told her thai Mahony would mi-et her at eleven th following ntghi at a bouse called "The Hawthorns, situ ated on pnirh of Waste Kruunit near the edge of Clnpham Common Blsa at one took this news to Lawson. and (gain Lawin hid smile. Evidently Mahony was taking the precaution of meeting Klsa In a fairly Jemot and lonely plare. That suited hi own plana excel lenity. And the fact that twenty-four boura bad to elapse before the meet ing also tutted bint elceilenlly. It gave him plenty of time to recon nolter th ground quietly and pre pare hi plan. "You ean leava thing entirely to m. now." he told to Blsa "There' no need for you to keep this appoint ment or to Involve yourself In thlt any further. I'll mak all th ar rangementa to have him quietly seised and put aboard a steamer, and I'll let you know aa soon aa hei safely out of th country." Blsa shook her head. "I want to be there when he's cap tured," she said, "After your men have taken him I want to talk in him. and try to convince hint thai what we'r doing la all for hla own good I ahould feel awful If I lull let him be captured and taken away with out putting In aa appearance my self as though I were afraid to face blm, Besides. I want to speak to him about Ruth. I should Ilk to do some thing for her. too. If I can." "My dear girl, you're lust being ridiculous," pointed out Lawson In th ton of one who give good ad vine. "Your presence, when w take him. would only compile! matters normoutly. For on thing, we may not be able to take him without t struggle, and If there le any fighting I don't Want you mixed up In It You've done your part In the plan; th real of It I a man't job entirely and your presence would only hln der matters." "I'm not going to do anything be hind Terene Mahony' buck that I won't do to hi fee," replied Elsn stubbornly. "I've told him I'd meet him and I'm going to meet him And you csn make up your mind to that' Lawson knew her stubborn a ture; only a short lime prevluely hi. hsd played on It lo his own advan tags. Obviously It waa no good at tempting to argue with her now. He turned away from her for moment and stared out of th window, think Ing hard. 1 The details of his plan for the fol lowing night depended on the eltua tlon of the house, but so tar aa the main lines of hi plan were con oerned, his mind was already firmly made up He had no Intention of tal Ing any chances with Mahony this Urn. fCosirHjM lilt llueh Clsvalyj Lawson is forces te a shsnga plan.
