PRDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1936: The Wrong Murderer By HUGH CLEVELY think= d to his that was @ member of a dope and napping gaug headed by the Egenerally respected Ambrose Law- on. Rose added that the gaxg pro- Sposed to kidnap Els Little, film Star. at the Cinema ball. Terence has ‘gone to the ball in Ross’ dis-, guise; Elsa has been duly kid- napped and drugged. Now Terence {2 holding the kidnappers, dresned as monks, at bay with his revolver. One of the monks has tried to dis- tract Terence's attention by point- ing at something behind the deter- mined young man with the revolver. Chapter Six HOME AGAIN LMOST in the same movement the man dropped sideways to the ground and shot up one foot in a lightning kick at Mahony’s pistol arm. “At him! All of yon!” he shouted. The trick did not work. Mahony had seen it before. He did not look back over his shoulder. He moved his right arm very slightly, so that * that kick missed it, and stepped swiftly sideways, avoiding a haphaz- ard blow from another of the monks. Then he leaned forward slightly from the waist and brought the bar- rel_of his pistol crashing down on his second opponent’s head. The man dropped to the ground and lay s what you get for think- swered Lawson. “Look here, ['m coming along to see yu right away: there’s something funny about this. When you've heard what | have to say you must decide’ whether tocall in the police.” ens Ten minutes: later he atrived at the house. His usual appearance of smiling good ‘humor had left him; he had a worried. agitated look. Mr. Little showed -him into the study. “What is all this?” he asked., “Where's Elsa?” Lawson made a gesture of bewil derment. “That's the whole point; where is she?” he replied. “She was missing at midnight when the film stars were | introduced, and we've searched the j whole Albert Hall for ber and can’t find her. The representatives of her company are furious about it. But she knew perfectly well she had to be there at midnight; | can’t imagine she would be missing purposely.” He paused. P “1 don’t like it,” he went on. “Mul- grave says that the last he saw of her she was being carried off by a | party of black monks. He thought it was just a rag, but he’s not so sure now. You see, we've tried to find those black monks, and we can’t find them either. Of course, it may be just a rag, but as I say, I don’t like it. With all these kidnapning cages that Terence stopped the car to look at Elsa. ing,” observed Maheny. “Another move from any of yuu and | shall shoot.” His voice was curt and business- like. No one doubted that he meant vexactly what he said; no one else moved. Mahony bent forward, seized the brown monk by the collar, and kicked him up to his feet. “Turn round. Stand with your backs to me,” he ordered sharply. They obeyed. “Now walk away from me. If any man tries to turn or takes his hands down before he reaches the end of the yard, I shall drop him,” he said. They walked away from him. When they were about twenty paces from the car, Mahony sprang into the driving seat, pressed the self- Starter, and let in the clutch. He re- versed the car neatly cut of the yard into the roadway, engaged the first forward speed, and was off. For about five minutes he drove aimlessly dway from the yard, not minding much where he went. Then he stopped the car and climbed into the back to look at Elsa. Her eyes Were still closed, but her breathing Was even and her pulse was regular. Home was the place for her, he de- Cided. After a night’s sleep she would probably be ali right. He goi back into the driving-seat and headed the car in the direction of the Littles’ house in Chelsea. HE Littles’ house in Chelsea was quite a nice little place. It was quaint. {t photographed well. The windows were leaded and the out- Bide wall was covered with ivy. Wo men seeing it for the first time ex- claimed: “What a dear little house!” For those reasons the rent waa very high. There was, however no room in it for servants to sleep in, and the cook and parlor-maid the Littles empioyed had rooms out. Therefore when the telephone rang shortly after mid- night, Mr. Little had to get up and answer it himself. The caller was Lawson, and his yoice sounded very worried. , “Is Elsa there?” he asked. } “Elsa!” | Mr. Little was astonished. “No, of course not. She’s at the Albert Hall, isn’t she?” “No, apparently she isn't.” an. have been occurring lately... .” “Kidnapping ... !” R. LITTLE'S tone was utterly horror-stricken. His large eyes. always rather prominent, buiged quite alarmingly. “But ... you can’t mean .. . you don’t suggest that my niece has been kidnapped!” A look of slightly amused ¢on- tempt came into Lawson’s eyes. Evidently this stupid old sahib was under the impression that his own relatives ought, by some mysterious law of Nature, to be immune from the attentions of low-caste people like kidnappers. “I don’t know what bas happened,” he said, “That’s why | came along— to consult you about the advisability of calling in the police. Whether Elsa's been kidnapped or not, I think she ought to be found at once.” “But this . . . this is outrageous,” exclaimed Mr. Little. “Of course we must ring up the police. What a fool 1 was not to listen to young Ross’s warning.” “Ross's warning!” echoed Lawson in a startled tone. “What do you mean?” “Why, he warned me that some body was planning to kidnap Elsa— { somebody I trusted implicitly,~ an- swered Mr. Little. “He wouldn’t tell me who it was. Naturally I didn’t be- lieve him. I shall ring up the police at once.” He went to the telephone and raised the receiver. Lawson stood still, watching him, biting his lip slightly. So Ross had been blabbing, had he. Luckily he hadn't told Little very much. But had he told Mahony anything? In answer to Mr. Little's call, he was told that a policeman would be sent to the house right away. As he was replacing the receiver the front door bell rang. The two men looked at one an- other. The same thought was in both their minds; who could this be. Law- son licked his lips, whiéh suddenly} teltdry. § go. Se “I should answer ft,” he said. “Pax haps it’s Elsa.” .

Once, it looked like i the’ ‘golf ‘course was rid of sand- spurs until they‘ changed into mos- quitoes, Then after all the land was, cleared and filled in that vici- ‘| nity .¢those, were the days when we were going to get that $100,- 000 aitpott but succeeded in spend- ing the money without the airport) it was a pleasure to play for ab- sence of mosquitoes. Again the |sandspurs are getting in their way ;- + -maybe the game was intended jto have such obstacles. Elsewhere jover the country when you play golf you have to dodge the play- lers in front and behind for all you jean hear is Fore! Fore! j will no longer have the free gift f a couple of strokes. Once upon time his friends thought they jcould give him a little advantage ‘but it looks like Melvin will be on the giving end ‘hereafter, Last | Thureday he turned in a neat | 42-47 and among that score was number 8 with two pars. The score was as good as Doc William Pen- ababe Kemp but not as good as Hurricane Eddie’s 85 nor Charlie Salas’ 84. The outcome “of the last round because they turn- ed the first round four down duc to the afcvrementioned Cupid Rus- sell. Now along came Pious Willie j Watkins with Russell Kerr for a partner and said they would play | Otto Kirehheiner and Samuella |Goldsmith. But as usual there pwere strings tied to the agreement ..-Mr. Watkins being one of the kind that always wants something isaid they must have a stroke on 2, 5 and 8 so as to even the match \a little. But there are always two i sides to the question. What is the luse to have a free stroke if you win the hole anyway? And that is what Pious proceeded to do. 1 j lose. {business and when all was over Mr. Cookie. Mesa could not find friends and Mr. Del’ Woods was also likewise so they struck up a match between themselves and as should be, they each won a round and‘ both went honie happy. . .all jexeept Del who lost that brand paid a dime for. Last Sunday, Mr. Li Plummer made the remark that if ever : Otto Kirchheiner and Cookie Mesa ‘beat himself and Russell Kerr he would stop talking and playing golf. The match turned out against Mr. Li but he has not done either of those promises yet. Mr. Li was giving the razzle dazzle to |a few friends because they missed two-foot putts but Mr. Li forgot to knock in, his balk which was a mere 10 inches short of the hole. He thought his friends were going | to give the putt but Mr. Li found out that all was not moonlight and roses after all. ‘BAND CONCERT JACKSON SQUARE | | 1 |r BE RENDERED SUNDAY AFTERNOON BY WELTERS CORNET ORGANIZATION SAHKA ¢ The following is the program [that will lered Sunday aft- ets at 5 o’clock, by te Band at Jack- son Square, under the direction of Georsg,A.
