It is not true. “I told Inspector Kennedy that Mr. Mahony could not have mar dered Mr. Little, because he was with me,” put in Ruth. “Indeed. Was “ir.

She rose cbruptly from t.e table. “T'll go and ring up Uncle Gerald,” she went on. “That is, if they’ve got a telephona in this horrible place. 1 do think it’s a horrible place, don’t you? I wonder why we came here? And such beastly coffee.” She depa-ted in search of a tele- phone. Mehony remained at the ta- ble, frowniug fiercely and taking oc- casional sips at cis bad coffee. Ruth’s remark that he was rather in love with Elsa had disturbed him. “Still yeerning,” said duth’s voice by the table. “I've ‘phoned Mullins, the butler, anc told bim *o expect a guest.” “Oh! Right. Then I suppose we'd better be moving,” said Mahony. de paid the bill and they left the café. Twenty minutes later they arrived at Ruth’s home. Lee-Ramsden welzomed Mahony witi accustomed pleasant geniality. “I've hearu of you he said. *You’re back from China. aren’t you? ‘Yon must te!l me all abou. it; I lived there myself twenty years ago. But] ’t know you knew Ruth.” h, yes, we're quite olc friends,” Ruth. “Mr. Mahony brought me je last night.” e-Ramsden did aot comment on it remar’. * “Shall we go into the study? You'll take a glass of sherry before lunch, I hope,” he suggested. HEY went into the study and Lee-Ramsden poured ou: the sherry. After he had handed Ma- hony a glass, he indicate the mid- day edition of the evening paper. which was lying on the iable. In big letters across ihe top was the head line: FILM STAR'S UNCLE MURDERED “Shocking affair that,” he b- served. “Have you veen the evening peper yet? Poor Little’s beoa killed.” “Yes, | know,” said Ruth. “We . av a matter of fact, we've just come from Elsi’s house.” “Ob, you have,” saiu Lee-Rams- den in a tone of interest. “Been pay- ing a visit of condolence. I suppose. How is Elsa? | expect she’s taken it very much .o teart, hasn't she?” “Yes,” said Ruth. “Was anybody else there?” asked Lee-Ramsden. “Mr. Lawson. And & man named Inspector Kennedy,” answered Ruth. “Kennedy?” said Lee-Ramsden in a tone oi surprise. “But he was here only a few miautes ago making enquiries about you.” “Oh!” said Ruth. She hadn’t qutie expected that. “What did he want to know?” sl e asked. Mahony rose from his seat He had kad envugh of this beating about the bush. When a difficulty had to be faced, he I:ked to face it and get it over, “I didn’t go th-re with Miss Fraser; I met her there by acci- cent.” he stated quietly “I wept there with a man named Lawson. A police officer was there—Inspector Kennedy. from Scotland Yard. 0 his presence, and Lawson's, Miss Little accused me of being the mur. derer of her uncle. She said that she recognized my voice as that of tue mun whe was in the room when her uncle was killed.” ‘There was no explosion. Lee- Ramsden’s handsome, aquiline fea- tures hardly changed in expression. He raised cne eyebrow very slightly. “How very annoying for you— especially if you did kill her uncle,” he commented lightly. “Are you sup- posed to nave killed the old gentle- man before or after you brought my ward home?” Today In History Bervececooeosse 1836—Alonzo D.

It riay interest you | to know that Inspector Kennedy was making enquiries aboui both -f you. I have an idea that he rather doubts your old scho»l friend story.” “It wasn’t my story; i: was your story; you told me to tell it,” pro tested Ruth heatediy. “I told you | what really happened—that I was kidnapped, but you wouldn’t believe me.” “Yes, that’s true,” admitted Lee Ramsden. “But you couldn't tell me who kidnapped you, or where you were taken, or who rescued you, and during your al: ence I received noae of the demands for ransom or other ine kidnapping—well, my dear, your story didn’t sound very convincing, did it? If you'd only brought Mr. Mahony in with you, or told me his name——” “But he wouldn’t come in, and ae wouldn’t tell me his name,” inter- rupted Ruth, “I didn’t know his name till I met him at Elsa’s this morning.” “These !.eroes are very modest, blandly. He paused and looked at Mahony, and the expression of good-natured irony had quite left ais face; his glance was geen and piercing. “Or perhaps you had some other reason for wishing to conceal your nocturnal activities,” he went on in & harder tone. “Did the Inspector question you at any length about them? I'd like you to tell me exact- ly what took place at this interview at the Littles’ house.” AHONY told him. When Ma- AVE bony had fini:hea, Lee-Rams- den made slight gesture <s if mar- velling at Lbuman foulishness. “You began by telling the luspec- tw. that yor’d been walking abcut mented. “Then Ruth came in and sa‘d that you hadn’t been walking about London, you'd been motoring with her. Naturally h- doesn’t be- lieve either of your stories. And if we tell‘him now that Ruth was kid- napped and you rescuec her, he won't believe that ‘ither. Unless you can produce proof that she was kid: Lapped and you rescued hes. Can yon “No,” answered Mahony. “No,” echoed Lee-Ramsden. “And at the inqu:st on Little the chances are that you'll both be questioned about your movemen.s. By that time Inspector Kennedy will probably have obtained proof that Ruth was not staying with Anne Dowsor dur- t g her absence, May I ask what you propose io say?” Mahony made no answer. It was obvious that Lee-Ramsden was right; they would be questioned at the inquest. And he did not see what the devil they could say. “Your first story of walking about will be brought up and contrasted with Ruth’s story that you were mo- toring back from the country, Peo ple will say that you lied in order to save Ruth trom scandalous talk, and that she lied in order to save you from being arrested, and that, any- way, you're both no setter than you should be. Nothing you say now, either of .ou, is going to be be- lieved withort indisputable proof. And if you're not arrested, you're of unpleasant gossip.” This, 2s Mahony realized with blank dismay. was alsc perfectly true. For himself he did not mind. But Ruth’s name would be coupled wi'a his; he could imagine the kinds of things people woulu be saying about them. The butler entezcd and an- nounced that lunch was served. Lee- Ramsden rose. “Even if we are going to be talked about, we needn't star.e,” he said. “Come down and have some lunch.” Lunch was a sileut meal. Mahony was perplexed and wcrrie@, and he did not in the least know what to make of h’s host. Judging by his manner the things he had learned vefore lunch had not Gisturbed him at all. Mahony understood what Ruth had meant when she said her guardian was a little unhuman. (Copyright. 1936, Hugh Clevely) Terence tells Lee - Ramsden, Monday, things he should have kept secret.
