THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1936. THE KEY WEST CITIZEN Paces THEE: ! 207007000000 | cccceccccccccccoeosscoes | SYNOPSIS: Although his activt ties last ‘night included rescuing Elsa Little and Ruth Fraser from Ambrose Lawson's vicious gang of Kidnappers, Terence Mahony finds Gul his activities netted him is to be suspected of the murder of Eisa’s uncle. But Ruth shows up just 03 Inspector Kennedy ts ready to ar- rest Terence. and provides him a shaky, but sufficient alibt. Ruth says Terence has been with her the night before. And Lawson, whom Terence dares not accuse for lack of evidence, is watching the whole proceeding sardonically. Chapter 16 NOT CONVINCED “T)idn’t you find out from the news- papers that the police were searching for you?” asked the In- spector. “No,” said Ruth, “Anne fs a queer sort; she has a tiny cottage miles from anywhere, and she doesn’t bother about newspapers. | didn't either, while I was with her,” said Ruth. “And what time did you get back | to London last night?” asked In spector Kennedy. “I suppose we got back at about| four,” she answered. “You see, the ignition went wrong and it took . - it took us about two hours and a half to put it right.” Zhe was feeling hot and cold all at once. In the middle of the speech, when she had been about to refer “I needn’t detain you | to her rescuer, she had suddenly re- membered that she did not even know his name. She hoped she had passed it off all right. Inspector Kennedy made rapid} calculations. It was a good two hours journey by road to Harfield in a fast car. Two hours going, two} hours coming back, and an hour and a half—allowing for a certain exag- geration on her part—spent in re-| pairing a breakdown—that meant | that Mahony could not possibly have | been in London at the time when} the murder occurred. But was her story truthful? It seemed to the Inspector that there was something very queer about very nearly everything that had taken place. What was the meaning of it all? It simply did not make sense. And who had killed Mr. Little, and why? He sighed. He had decided, after | all, not to detain Mahony for the| | present. Lawson also was very perplexed He could not understand why on} earth Ruth should have told that story about staying with a friend. Mahony could not understand it either. “You say that the name of the| friend with whom you were staying | is Anne Dowson. Would you mind | giving me her address?” asked In- spector Kennedy. “The White Cottage, near Har field, Sussex,” replied h without hesitation. “But you won't find her there today, I'm afraid. She told me she was going away.” HE did not mention that Anne had said that she was going to Berlin; she hoped that Anne, with her well-known carelessness, had not told anybody where she was go ing. Heaven only knew what would happen if Anne were to be ques: tioned severely by the police. She would probably throw tubes of paint at them and end up in prison her self. She was like that “Thank you,” said Inspector Kennedy. “I don’t think I need de ..tain you or Mr. Mahony any longer.” * So that’s his name, thought Ruth. And she wondered what sort of a Christian name he had. Something really Irist, like Shawn or Padraig, she hoped.

Thank you, Ruth,” replied} Elsa, and then to Mahony: “I owe} you an apology, Mr. Mahony. I'm! sorry if I've suspected you unjust: | ly.” | She spoke a little stiffly, as if she { had made the apology with great} reluctance. “That's all right, Miss Little,” said | Mahony. “Please don’t think about ; it any more.” ! He and Ruth Fraser left the house. When they had gone there was a short silence. Then Inspector Ken- nedy shrugged his shoulders slight- ly. “It seems that you were mistaken, Miss Little, in thinking that Mahony was the man in the study with you and your uncle last night,” he ob- served. “Yes,” said Elsa, in a doubtful voice. She looked at the Inspector, her blue eyes full of an acute bewilder- | ment. “1... 1 still don’t think I was mis- taken,” she said falteringly. “I've | got a very good memory for voices. | And why did Ruth say that she was | staying with Anne Dowson?” “Have you any reason to think ; | 1 jonger,” said Kennedy. that she was not staying with Miss Dowson?” asked the Inspector keenly. “Well... yes. The day after Ruth | disappeared 1 had a letter from Anne about a picture | wanted to buy from her. In her letter she asked after Ruth. I don’t think that even Anne would have done that if Ruth had been staying with her, though she is very absent-minded.” | | ! AWSON’S first action after leav- ing the Little's house was to ring up Lee-Ramsden. He found Lee- ! “I've rung you up twice this morn- ing already.” said Lee-Ramsden. “I want to know what bappened last night. How did my ward manage to turn up here suddenly like that at four in the morning?” “1 don't know,” answered Lawson. “I'm ringing you up to try to find out what happened. | didn’t know she’d t away till | saw her a minute or © ago. 1 also want to warn you that deiective is on his way to inter view you now.” “don't care if the ~hole of Scot- land Yard is on its way to interview me,” replied Lee-Ramsden. “I've al- ready rung them up and told them that Ruth has been staying with a school-friend in Sussex. They can believe it or not, just us they like. That's all the information they'll get from me or Ruth.” “But...” began Lawson. He did not quite know how to go on. “Is j Ruth seriously going to try to keep up the story about staying with Anne Dowson?" he asked. “Yes. She seems to have some | reason for wanting to hide the real ; | Story of what happened last night. | | She won't even tell me the name of the man who got her away.” ‘ “I know who he ts all right.” an- | |Swered Lawson. “He's an interfer- ing devil named Mahony, who ts be | i} | slip out of the house and meet me quietly somewhere before that de tective arrives.
