4 The Wrong Murderer
By HUGH CLEVELY
Chapter 49
"IF YOU INSIST . . ."
"PRANKLY, I shouldn't care a
. boot if sue thought I'd massa-
- ered battalions of ber uncles," Ter-
ince stated. "What the devil did she
v want to corns butting In for tonight?
There was no need for her to be
tkera at all. She'd arranged with
Lawson to have me kidnapped, and
: Instead of letting him get on with
the Job, as any sensible person
would bare done, she bad to come
barging In herself, turning the
- whole buslnoss Into the last act of
a film play complete with falr-balred
. heroine registering lots of emotion.
-That's tbe trouble with actresses
they must have scones."
:"There was a pause. Then'
"I think you are an ntter pig,"
said Ruth In a tone of deep conrlc-
: Uon.
': "What!" exclaimed Mahony.
... He looked at ber and saw, to bis
surprise, that she was on the point
of tears.
"What's the matter, Ruth T" he
asked In a concerned voice.
' . "I think you're beastly," an
wered Ruth, a little Indistinctly.
"But . . . why? For heaven's sake,
.why?" demanded Mahony hopeless
ly. "What havo I done?"
There was another pause, while
Ruth collected ber dignity.
"I'm sorry I came barging In, turn
Ing all your nice, neat little arrange
ments Into a film play," she said in'
a cold, haughty voice, "However,
you won't be bothered with me any
more."
"Stop It, Ruth," said Mahony
rudely. "Stop being all tempera
mental." "I'M not being all temperamental,"
1 answered, Ruth angrily. "You
aid that Elsa came barging In.
turning everything Into a dim play,
and as I camo barging In, too, I must
have done the same. Do you think 1
couldn't see what you meant?"
"I- didn't mean anything of the
ort," protested Mahony. "You . .
well, you're different. You, didn't
barge In that Is. not really barge
in. I mean, we've been sort ol part
ners ..."
He found bla meaning very diffi
cult to explain.
"You are different," he went on.
"You Just barged in because you
wanted tr, so to speak ; you weren't
Ruth Fraser, the fclrl heroine aveng
ing ber uncle's death by vamping
the deceitful villain, or Rutb Fraser
righting a wrong by having the mis
understood but well-intentioned
young man kidnapped for his own
good and insisting on being present
when the kidnapping took place be
cause tbe heroine must be in the big
scene. , . , 1 hate all this drama. It
gives me a pain In tbe neck."
"Nonsense," replied Ruth. "You've
been bebavlng like the perfect little
film hero ever since I met you. And
you're annoyed with Elsa because
you're in lore with her and she made
a fool of you."
MAHONY was stung by this mon
strous amii ha t Inn.
Don't talk so damned wet," he
said Irritably. "I'm not in lore with
ber. You, know perfectly well I'm
not In lore wltb ber. You know I'm
In lore wltb you.l' ,
Rutb smiled slightly. Her expres
sion was a little smug, like that of
a kitten which has Just put away a
saucer of delicious cream.
Well, you needn't shout," she
said primly.
She looked ddeways at him out of
tbe cornera of her eyes. He looked at
her at the same moment. Sudden!
they both burst out, laughing.
Mahony took ber hand and drew
her towards him.
Let's get .narricd and clear out
somewhere as soon as we can," he
said.
She shook her head.
"No," Bhe said. "I couldn't do that.
If 1 married you now, after all that's
happened, It would be too much like
the ending of a film story."
"Stop It, you little hellcat," said
Mahony, and drew her closer and
kissed her. She kissed blm too.
"Oh, well," she murmured. "If you
Insist , . ."

Htnhlo Art.
Ranked by many critics aa the
greatest work In the history pf paint
ing, the famous "L&At Supper" has
experienced an odd career.
Commissi onwt by the Duke Lodo
vlco Bforza and the Dominican
monks of Santa Maria dolle Grazle
to paint a mural on the dining room
wall of the Dominican convent at
Milan, Leonardo da Vlncl began work
on the masterpiece In 1408. Some
ten years was spent on the work.
When one of the convent officials
suggested to Leonardo that he was
taking too long, the artist threatened
to pnlnt the on 1er tor's tce on the
character of Judas, Da Vlncl was
hurried no more.
Painted on a plaster wall, "The
Last Supper" soon showed signs of
deterioration due to dampness, and
suffered further misfortune when, in
1053, monks cut away a part of the
fresoo, Including tho foet of the
Savior, to make a doorway but this
wasn't to be the worst desecration to
befall the art treasure.
When a conquering French army
under the flag of Napoleon marched
through Italy and Into Milan, troops
were quartered In homes and build
ings throughout the city. To the
convent of Marin delle Ctrazle went a
detnehment of cnvnlry, and In the
room of the "Last Slipper" were sta
bled the Frenchmen's horsest -
Later the room came to be u&ed
as a hayloft on one occasion It was
filled with flood waters. Today Lt Is
a national shrine. Each time the
colors of the masterpiece have faded,
they have been skillfully replaced.
The painting at present Is In a re
markable state of preservation.
