But the chief dif- ficulty 4s that Mahony is suspected of a murder, and must dodge the police as welt as Lawson. Chapter 33 KENNEDY AGAIN s) [ics still bad to decide what he was going to do. If, as Lee-Ramsden had told him, there was a warrant out for bis arrest, the sooner he obtained a disguise the better. The best place at which to obtain a good disguise would be Clarkford’s, the theatrical costu- miers, in Wardour Street. He decided to get to Clarkford’s as soon as possible. The quickest way to get there was by car, and the nearest car was that belonging to the two crooks. He entered it and drove away from the house, Wardour Street was crowded with traffic. He stopped as near to the shop as possible, and walked along the pavement towards the shop. Just as he was turning into the doorway a hand tapped him on the shoulder and a well-known voice eaid: “I want a word with you, Ma hony. I’ve been looking for you for some time.” The voice was that of Inspector Kennedy. Mahony cursed under his breath. “I was told you wanted me,” he answered calmly. “But before we go any further, let’s have a look at your warrant.” It was his intention, as soon as the Inspector put a hand into bis pocket, to kick the Inspector’s feet from under him and make a dash for it. But the Inspector did not put his hand into his pocket. “Warrant?” he echoed in a sur- prised tone. “Who told you 1 want- ed you, or that I had a warrant?” He paused. “Whoever he was, your informant Was quite correct. | have got a war- rant for your arrest; I've had it in my possession since yesterday. And it will depend on the manner in which you answer one or two ques- tions whether | put it into execu tion or not.” Now it was Mahony’s turn to be surprised. He stared at the Inspec- tor, frowning. “One moment, Inspector,” he said. “Let's just get things right. Did you leave Mr. Lee-Ramsden’s house at about lunch-time this morning with the intention of arresting me?” HE Inspector shook his head. “I wasn’t at Mr. Lee-Ramsden’s house at all this morning,” he an- swered. “Somebody's been pulling your leg. | was there this after- noon, though, enquiring about Miss Fraser. Mr. Lee-Ramsden seemed to have an idea that you were go- ing to try to get out of the country.” “Lee-Ramsden said that.” ex- claimed Mahony. With the Inspector’s words the full realization of Lee-Ramsden’s treachery had come to him. It was Lee-Ramsden who had given him @way to Lawson; it was Lee-Rams- den and Lawson between them who had sent those two men to lay him out in the house in St. John’s Wood. But why? “What’s the excitement about Miss Fraser?” he demanded. “Why were you enquiring for her?” “fam enquiring for her because she may be charged with being an accessory to a murder,” replied the Inspector grimly. “She was in a house in Pennyfields this afternoon where two men were killed. She was seen to enter the house, and her car was still outside after the murders * were commited. The house is in Royal Road and belongs to a man pamed Bassett.” Mahony was accistomed to re- ceive shocks, but this was about the biggest shock he had received so far that day. “Miss Fraser—in a house in Pennyfields,” he repeated incred- ulonsly. “But what the devil was she doing there?” “Crossword puzzles. | suppose,” replied Kennedy sarcasticatly. “Are you trying to pretend that you don't know she was there?” “I'm not trying to pretend any- thing. I didn’t know she was there. ‘This is the first I've heard of it,” answered Mahony truthfully. The Inspector simply did not be- Jieve him. Once more he was strong- ly tempted to arrest Mahony. But that would do no good. Once under arrest, he was quite convinced that Mahony would keep his mouth shut and refuse to answer any questions atall “So that’s your line, is it, Mr, Know-Nothing?” he said. “All right, Mahony, I'll be seeing you again.” He nodded and walked away. Mahony went to the nearest pub ies | | | Church Circle To | Give Social i Mlembers of the Fleming Street THE KEY WEST CITIZEN COLLEGE t Notes NEW PLYMOUTHS By CYNTHIA PEARLMAN (Special Tallahassee Correspond- ent of The Citizen) eeesee TALLAHASSE: ov. 11.—The Misses Anne Kennedy, C.eo Kemp and ordered @ stiff drink.

From the pub he rang up Bas-{ sett’s number end had a brief con- | versation with him. The result of i that conversation was that he and | Bassett met in a bar near Charing | Cross, and Bassett told him in de | tail all the events of the afternoon. | “But don’t the police suspect you j Join in the fun. of being mized up in all this busi- { ness this afternoon?” asked Ma-} hony. : “The cops ‘ave been suspecting | me of things for the last ten years,” | replied Bassett, grinning. “So tong | as it don’t get no further than sus- ‘ pecting, 1 ain’t worryin’. 1 told the cops my ‘ouse was broke into by : persons unknown while 1 was sit- | tin’ in Eli Solomon’s back parlor, | and 1 didn’t know nothing about it till someone came in and told me there was a shemozzie goin’ on in my place, and bodies fallin’ out of | winders, and ‘ell to pay generally. 1 ain’t sayin’ they believe me, but Fve got witnesses that I was in Sol- omon’s, and they can’t do nothin? The point is, wot’s your next move goin’ to be?” f MAEONY'S tace was grim and set | while he considered his an- swer. “That rather depends on you,” he { said slowly. “Do you think you could find me half a dozen men, real toughs, who'd be willing to take { a chance of a pretty long stretch of imprisonment for fifty pounds apiece? I shall want ’em tonight, at about half past eleven.” “1 could find you the men all right,” answered Fatty Bassett. “I wonder ... How long are you goim’ to want these men for, mister?” H “Not more than a couple of | hours,” answered Mahony. “Well, see here,” said Fatty Bas- sett, with the air of a man who puts forward a brilliant idea. “The ‘Amy Robsart’ is sailing from the port of London at siz in the mornin’. 1 know the skipper an’ I know the crew; there’s not one of ‘em as wouldn’t ! sell “is soul for fifty quid down, and they’re as tough a bunch as | know. Wot about ‘aving arf a dozen of “em, and they does their job, and you gives ’em their money, and they gets back to the ship in time to sail first thing in the morning?” “That’s a damned fine idea,” said Mahony. “About the time the police are beginning to look real earnest- ly for them they'll be somewhere out in the North Sea. And now there are some other things I want. Lis- ten carefully, Fatty; you've got to get this right. “I want a couple of those men in evening dreg8—the most present- able two, because I’m going to take them into society. I want a couple of big cars. | want some drink— some good drink; I should think champagne would be about the mark, and | want enough for about fifty people.” “That'll mean about fifteen bot- tles, if you’re goin’ to give ‘em a good drink each,” put in Bassett. “Yes. A Jeroboam holds about the equivalent of six bottles; three Jero- boams would do it, | should think. And | want enough knock-out drops put into that drink to put the whole fifty people to sleep for a good couple of hours. One more thing. 1 want a place where I can Bide a prisoner, if necessary. Can you man- age all that?” “I can manage it,” said Bassett. “But wot's the idea? Wot are you goin’ to do?” “With any Inck I’m going to stage a hold-up at the Golden Centipede Club that will set London talking for a week, and Lawson swearing for a month,” answered Mahony calmly. eee After parting from Mahony, In- spector Kennedy returned to Scot- and Yard. From there he rang up Elsa Little. “Terence Mahony is dining with you this evening. 1 believe, Miss Lit- tle.” he said. “Are you going on with your original plan of trying to fool him inte committing himself?” “Yes,” answered Elsa. “Right.” said the Inspector. “1 didn’t think much of the idea at first, but perhaps it may come in useful. Would you mind if I send along a couple of men to fix up a microphone so that J cam listen in in the next room to what you say?” “No. You can do that if you want to,” agreed Elsa.
