SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1936. The Wrong Murderer By HUGH CLEVELY SYiIMDPSIS: Terence Mahony has jad a night. Since nine o’clock has regcued two girls from Am- brose Lawzon’s gang of kidnap- pers: Elsa Little, the cinema star, and Ruth Fraser, wealthy sportswoman and aviatriz. Untors tunately, Terence managed to make himself @ suspect in the murder of Elsa’s uncle when he returned her to her home ; just now he is asking Ruth about ‘her experiences, espe- cially as to whether she had been drugged by a Chapter 12 IT’S GOOD-BYE “WES,” said Ruth. “I noticed that after meals I always felt ter- ribly queer—all light-headed, as if 1 didn’t care a hoot for anything— but when that feeling had worn off I felt depressed and awful. “I stood it for about a day; then I got desperate. The day before yes- terday, when the fat man brought me my supper, I hit him on the head as hard as I could with a chair. It knocked him unconscious, “I went through his pockets and found a pistol and took it. Then [ heard one of the others coming, 80 I shoved him outside the door, got the key, and locked myself in. The other two men stormed and shouted a lot, but the window was too high for them to get in that way, and when they tried to break the door down I shot at them through it and nearly killed one of chem, I believe. 1 wish I had killed him. “Alter that they didn’t try to break in any more. But every now and then they came and threatened me with: the most horrible things if I wouldn’t let them in, and prom- ised me a marvellous time if I would. I think that what they really meant to do, when they found they couldn’t get in, was to starve me out.” She paused. “They'd have done it, too, if you hadn't turned up. I was getting to feel that I'd give anything for a chop, or even a plate of rice pud- ding. I'm terribly grateful to you, really.” The child certainly had some pluck, reflected Mahony. During his wanderings about the world he had known many women, but none who would have been capable of holding her own against a crowd of toughs as this girl had done. “I wonder what happened to Billy Ross,” she went on. “Did they get him too?” “Yes,” answered Mahony, “But not when they got you. Ross was smashed up in a motor accident yesterday. If he lives, which is very doubtful, he'll be a helpless cripple for the rest of his life.” He paused. “You say you're grateful to me,” he continued. “Then I can ask you a favor. You'll probably have to tell all that’s happened to your parents and the police. You can’t tell them my name, because you don’t know it, but I'd be very grateful if you won't describe me too accurately to them. And I'd like you to leave out Ross's name altogether. He was partly responsible for the fact that you were kidnapped. But he can’t be punished any more than he has been punished. If his name is drag- ged in the mud, his parents will be the only people to suffer. | want to prevent that. And that kidnapping gang won't get away with it. I'll deal with them all right.” “] BET you'll deal with them,” she said. “I won't say anything about Billy Ross. If | tell my guar- dian that I got into a taxi, and a man jumped in with me and chloro- formed me, that ought to do, oughtn’t it? Anyway, I don’t suppose he'll want a lot of police fussing around. He hates a lot of fuss and scandal.” “That story ought to be all right,” agreed Mahony. “But mind you stick to it.” “IM stick to it,” she promised. “But won't you tell me who you are?” No.” answered Mahony. By this time they were passing through Hampstead, and in a few minutes they drew up outside the house in Upper Brook Street, May- fair, where Mr. Lee-Ramsden, Ruth's guardian, lived. She got out of the car and stood for a moment at the edge of the pavement, look- ing rather wistfully at Mahony. “Shan't we ever meet again?” she asked. “Who am I that I should proph- esy?” asked Mahony. “Don’t you want to see me again?” she persisted. “It’s a bit impolite, you know, to rescue a girl from a lot of villains and then walk lightly out of her life just like that.” Mahony grinned. He liked her. In ordinary circumstances he would have been glad to meet her again. But the circumstances were not ordinary. He did not want any friendship with a girl hindering his activities. “Sorry,” said Mahony. “I expect I would bore you stiff. So really it’s probably all for the best that it’s im- possible for us to meet again.” A slight smile touched the. cor ners of her lips. “Oh, you think it’s impossible, do you?” she said. “All right. Well, 1} won't keep you now. So long. And | thanks for the ride.” With that she waved to him, and turned and mounted the front door- steps of her guardian’s house. She rang the bell and turned and waved again. Mahony waved back. Then he drove away. In answer to Ruth’s ring the door | was opened by an elderly butler clad in pyjamas and a dressing: gown. At the sight of her his eyes opened wider; he seized the door with his right hand as if he needed support. “Miss Ruth!” he exclaimed in @ startled tone. “That’s who it is, Mullins,” an- swered Ruth. “Very hungry and very sleepy. Be an angel and get me some hot soup or something. And tell me, has the household been terribly agitated by my absence?” “Mr. Lee-Ramsden has naturally been very worried,” stammered the butler. “I must wake him at once and tell him of your safe return.” As Ruth advanced into the hall, there was a sound of movement at the top of the stairs, and a voici called out: “What is it, Mullins?” ‘HE speaker began to descend the stairs into the lighted hall. He was a tall, well-made, vigorous man, of between fifty-five and sixty, with the air about him of one accus- tomed to.command, His features were handsome and well formed; his white hair waved back from a broad, intellectual fore- head; his eyes were blue and steady, with a hint of cynical humor in their cool glance; his nose was Roman, lending a touch of severity to his face; his mouth and chin were well shaped and determined. One ugly feature he had which was not noticed by the casual ob- server—his hands. They were very broad in the palms, with short, ugly, dumpy fingers, varying little in length. A distinguished criminolo- gist had once laughingly told Lee- Ramsden that he had the hands of a man conscienceless and implaca- ble—the hands of a killer. Lee Ramsden had merely laughed. Half-way down the stairs, catch- ing sight of Ruth im the hall, he stopped short with the air of a man who has received a sudden shock. In a moment he recovered himself and hurried on down the stairs. “Ruth! My dear child! Where have you sprung from?” claimed. “We thought you'd been kidnapped. Your aunt came round and made an awful fuss. Really, we've been worried to death about you.” “I've been a bit worried about myself,” answered Ruth. “But I'm not going to talk till I've had some food. I'm almost dying of starva tion.” She also wanted to get quite clear in her mind the story she was going to tell. Hot soup was brought into the dining-room, and when she had drunk it, Ruth related the story she had arranged with Mahony. Her guardian listened attentively until she had finished. Then he shook his head slightly and smiled. “It's a good story, my dear, an excellent story—in fact it’s been one of my favorite stories ever since I first read tt as a boy,” he commented, “but it won’t do. Won't you tell me where you've really been?” “But I've told you,” she protested. “I got into a taxi and a man got in with me and chloroformed me, Then I was taken to a house some where outside London; I don’t know exactly where because it was dark and I didn’t pay much attention on the way back.” “And a gallant stranger dashed single-handed into the house and rescued you from the sinister trio and brought you safely home,” ob served Lee-Ramsden, He shrugged his shoulders slightly. “You don’t know who kidnapped you. You don’t know where you were taken. You don’t know who your rescuer was,” he continued in an ironic tone. “My dear, what a story to tell the police when they ask where you've been. I'm quite sure they won't believe you.” “But what else can I tell them?” asked Ruth. (Copyright. 1936, Hugh Clevely) Lee-Ra n gives Ri story to te : cinemas |. Monday.

Any- way, you may rest assured that your captain will be of the talk- ing variety if not of the fighting kind. On Thursday, a preliminary of what will happen next week was the big match between Old Bye and Charlie Ketchum on the one hand and Cookie Mesa and Li Plummer on the other. The last two gentlemen’should have won by 36 up but’ Mr. Sands by mak- ing 50-52 was able to subdue the opposition enough until they won by but a measley 7 up. Mr. Li had the best round of any with 46 but had he been with his Sunday crowd he would have been minus clubs, shirt and shoes because his friends would have been the recipient of same on account of Mr. Plummer would have thrown same at same. |. You get what I mean? Mr. Bascom Grooms could not prevail upon any of his office force to indulge in a little of the pastime. on account of they were afraid the boss would win and so that left handed gentleman went around with Millie the Marathoner (you thought I was going to say moocher, didn’t you?) and Mr, Del ~!

Del was asxcd if ke could play one; but never heving even seen one let alone it, Mr. Woods re- warked that he was thé. best buss horn player in the count So he was bed. made a -u 3 and got a tenwtive offer for another up in Mgni So that was Del you heard ‘n Old Man River. The next,match was between William Penababe Kemp and Charlie Salas against Hurricane Eddie and Melvin Russell and as all good matches should be, this one ended by a close score of 4 up for Eddie and Mel, which was g a Teverse of the ending last week. Mr. Strunk had a near 41 on the back round for a total of 85 for the day, The honorable bicuspid- ologist got lest on the first round with 48 on thé first round and 98 for the day. So there is the an- swer to the match. Mr. William Pious Watkins should have been in the Armenian rug business becavse he knows how to get the advantage of an adversary. He had Russell Kerr for a partner and insisted that Otto Kirchheiner and Samuella strokes a round, Coming up to the llast hole (which was 5) and with the benefit ofa stroke it was necessary for Sam and Otto to « | FLEMING STREET METHODIST CHURCH Cor.
