The Wrong Murderer SYNOPSIS: Terence Mahony has some beme from tox: yenre. ts China. only to have his old Iriena Billy Ross sertous!y injured while the two of them were on thetr way into the country trom Thinking he ts dying, Hose can- feases that he is one of a dope-kid- ‘napping gang, and tha: Ambrose Lawson 18 its leader. Mahony back in town is made curious by a tancy dress costume sent Hoss for wear @t the Cinema Ball Knowing an attempt may be made to kidnap Elsa Little. movie star Mahony de- termines to attend the ball—and wear the costume. Chapter Three CALL ON ELSA ‘ERENCE’S next action, after changing his quarters, was to buy himself a car. He had returned from China with a sum of nearly fifteen hundred pounds, and he spent three hundred of this on a second- hand but tremendously fast sports car, which he bought with a guaran- tee that it would do eighty-five. Transferring his possessions and buying the car took him until nearly three in the afternoon. At half past thre@he called at the house in Chel- sea, where Elsa Little lived with her uncle. He had only met Elsa twice in his life, and was aware that he had had no encouragement to call. That did not worry him. He had never suffered from shyness. Vincent Litle, Elsa’s uncle, greet- ed him politely, but with an air of surprise, as if he were rather at a Joss to account for the reason for his call. He spent a great deal of his time in being frigidly polite to young men with ambitions tc see Elsa. Elsa also seemed surprised, but not displeased, to see him. In spite of her recent sensational rise..to stardom in the film world, she had remained unspoiled and natural, that was part of her charm. Mahony could easily understand hwew she had risen so quickly. Though small and childish-looking, there was an air of great health and vitality about her; she radiated per- Suaality. ber hair was very tair anu silky, and fell in glossy wav on either side of her furebead, fram- ing the delicious oval of her face. Her eyes were a vivid blue, the|" bluest Mahony had ever seen; her nose was slightly turned up, giving her a rather impudent expression; her small mouth was delightful. She had a lovely friendly smile that crinkled the corners of her eyes a little, and caused the hearts of im- Pressionable young men to melt within them. “How nice of you to call,” she said. “You'll stay to tea, won't you?” INCENT LITTLE frowned, and cleared his throat slightly. He did not want Mahony to stay to tea. He disapproved of the manner in which Elsa became friendly with young men without making the leas’ enquiry into their wealth or social position. While he was proud of Elsa’s rise to stardom, he deplored the fact that her association with the film world brought her into con- tact with a great number of people who had never played polo or hunt- ed in their lives. ‘Still, as Mahony was staying to ‘tea, he supposed he ought to talk to him. | “Let me see,” he vegan rather :patronizingly. “You're a friend of young Ross, aren’t you? A shocking Steals Jailer’s Wife LIMOGES, France, Oct. 7.— Two weeks after his release from Saumur prison, 21-year-old Mar-; tial Ruaud, who took his jailer’s life-savings, was back in his cell, charged with stealing the money —but not the wife. Andre Prison guard, Merigaud, By HUGH CLEVELY affair that—shocking. Obviously he was driving very recklessly.” This remark merely confirmed the opinion which Mahony had formed instantly—that Little was a pom pous old fool. He turned to Elsa. “| suppose you're going to the Cinema Ball tonight?” he remarked “Yes,” she answered. “Though } don’t want to a bit, after that horri ble accideat. Billy Rust was to have been in our party. you know. | tried to get out of going, but Mr. Lawson sali it would be silly, and the com pany { work for wouldn’t hear of my not going.” “Lawson was right,” put in Little importantly. “Young Poss was no relation of yours, and the public have paid a guinea each for tickets to the dance, expecting to see you and other stars there, and you have no right to disappoint them. | don’t wonder that the company insisted or your going.” “Are yor going with Lawson?” zsked Mahony. At that Little raised hig eyebrows slightly. But Elsa answered with out hesitation. “& man named Fordham Is calling tor me, and we're joining Mr. Law son’s party at the Albert Hall. Are you going?” “No,” answered Mahon fully. He paused. - i “Who and what exactly is Law: vantruth: “You're going to the cinema ball tonight?” son?” he asked. “Where does he come from?” £isa’s uncle sbocked, “Lawson’s a friend of ours—a ver, good friend,” be said reprovingly. “He’s an absolute first-class chap.” “Really.” said Mabony. He turned to Elsa. “You like him, do you?” he asked. looked slightly T THAT question old -Little’s eyebrcws went up about half an inch. Evidently he thought the question highly impertinent. That did not disturb Mahony. He wanted information, and ha did not care a hoot if old Little’s eyebrows went right up through the celling. Elsa hesitated, laughed, shrugged her shoulders slightly. “Well, yes, 1 think he’s all right He's rather an extraordinary man you know, terribly clever. There dvesn’t seem to be anything that he can't do. He speaks about fou: lan- guages, and he’s good at sports, and be’: a marvelous m-sician.” She hesitated again. “I don’t think 1 altogether rave About him,” she gaid te’s been very nice té us.” “Nonsende, ) £64; goaVshovidh'e say. things like that; Ww like him.” put i saree ra rather annoyed tone “Everyo: likes Lawson. He’s most popular.” The door of the room opened. “Did | hear my name mentioned?” asked a voice from the doorway. A tall man of about forty stood on the threshold. He was strikingly good-looking. His hair was dark, with a central parting; his eyes were dark, with a slight apwird slant to them; his features were clear-cut and keen; his lips, slightly parted in a smile, revealed a glimpse of sin- gularly white and perfect teeth. His clothes were beautifully cut, and he wore them with an air of dis- tinction. For a moment he stood quite still in the loot » almost in the manner of an actor who pauses for a moment, after his first entrance on to the stage, in order to give the applause time to subside. “I tound the front door unlocked, so I walked in.” he said. “Of course. That’s all right, my dear chap; we're very glad to see you. Let's see, you've met—er. ..,” (Copyright. 1936.
