Peccccccccccccccccccseccoceceoccecoocccoeooooeee OFFICE BOYS MEET The Wrong Murderer By HUGH CLEVELY SYNOPSIS: Elsa Little auspects that Terence Mahony killed her uncle, and is charming him in order to get information out of him. In the nezt room, listening. ia Inspec- tor Kennedy. But Elsa ts beginning to believe Terence’s story ; while he da telling it. Terence ts perfecting in his mind a plot that i capture and convict Ambrose Lawson. head ofa Eidsoppiog ring and murderer of Little. But Ruth Fraser, Blsa’s friend, is also mized up in the ter—and im danger. ~ 43 Chapter 35 DECEIT WILL OUT ERENCE went on: “LeeRams- den wouldn’t believe that Ruth had been kidnapped. He suggested that yarn to her about staying with a friend in the country. I think he wanted to avoid a lot of fuss and bother with the police.” “And where is Ruth now?” asked Elsa. “I don’t know,” replied Mahony. “1 saw her for a moment this morn- ing in her guardian’s house, and | haven't seen or heard from her since.” While he was speaking there was a ring at the front door-bell. They heard the maid cross the hall and open the front door. A man’s deep voice sounded in the hall. “L>want to speak to inspector Kennedy at once,” it said. Mahony looked startled. Elsa went very pale. A frightened !ook came into Ler eyes, and she rose quickly from her seat. She did not want to look at Mahony, and some how she could not look away from him. For a long moment they stared @t one another, Mahony’s bewil- dered eyes asking a question which Elsa's eyes did not want to answer. The maid opened the drawing-room door, and they both looked towards the doorway. ERGEANT Dawkins entered. “Sorry to trouble you, Miss Little, but I've got to see Inspector Kennedy right away on very im- portant business,” he said in a mat- ter-of-fact voice. Elsa did not answer. She did not know what to say. She found it im- possible, in Mahony’s presence, to admit that Inspector Kennedy was in the bouse. There was an awkward, strained pause. Then another siep sounded in ihe ball outside, ¢| “What do you want, Dawkins? asked Inspector Kennedy's voice from the doorway. Mahony looked at Elsa, saw her white face and distressed air, and in a stunning shock of insight saw the whole plot. Elsa had betrayéd him. She had fooled hiin. She had deliber- ately encouraged him to commit himself, knowing that Inspector Kennedy was listening to every word he said. For a moment his mind fought desperately to discover some way in which it might appear that she had not fooled him, that the Inspector’s presence was accidental, and not de- liberate. But it was no good. The facts were quite plain. He had been had for a mug. Well, that was that. It couldn't be helped now. He smiled. He looked Elsa in the face and smiled quite amiably. It seemed to him the only thing that he could do in the circumstances. Something in his smile affected Elsa strangely. She made a hesitat- ing halfpace towards him. Her lower lip was trembling slightly, and her blue eyes looked very sol- emn. She looked as if she wanted him to comfort her. “1... ['m sorry,” she murmured indistinctly. “1... I'm very sorry for what I've done.” She spoke like a child confessing to some fault. Obviously she was sorry for what she had done. That struck Mahony quite unreason- able. He bore her no particular grudge for giving him away to the police; that had been his own fault, for being mug enough to let her do it But that she should stand there all sad and sorrowful, irritated him slightly. Did she want bim to forgive her, or something like that? “Oh, that’s all right.” be said in- differently, as if nothing that she could do or feel could interest him greatly. He took a cigaret from a box on ® small table, lit it casually, and rose. “1 take it you were listening?” he said to Inspector Kennedy. The Inspector nodded. “Yes,” he replied. “Well, Mahony, it seems that you were in the room cwhen Mr. Little was murdered.” ‘ There was no use in denying that now. Mahony shrugged his shoul- ders. “Yes. | was there.” “But be didn’t murder my uncle,” put in Elsa suddenly. Everyone lookea at her in sur prise. Her face was flushed, and her eyes were eager and pleading. “I thought he did,” she went on quickly. “That was why | arranged this ... this trap. But somehow, while | was talking to him, | began to change my mind. He ... hé seemed to me to be telling the truth when he said he didn’t kill my uncle, Oh, | do wish I'd never agreed to thal horrible plan of letting you listen to what he said.” EARS were streaming down het cheeks. She turaed to Maho “I'm sorry, really {'m sorry,” she said piteously, “I suppose you hate me for what f’ve done?” “Not at all,” said Mahony politely Nor did he. He merely thought she was being stupid, like a woman whe puts down a mousétrap and ther weeps when she catches a mouse it it. He thought she was making rather a lot of unnecessary fuss. Apart from that, he seemed to have no feelings about her whatever, “Wha it you want with me, Dawkins?” asked Inspector Ken nedy. The sergeant had been regarding this scene with eyes of wonder, Now he stepped forward with the air of a man carrying important news. He held out a letter. "d Mike you to look at this letter, sir.” be said. “While | was search: ing Mahony'’s rooms this evening, according to instructions, the post man delivered this for him. | opened it, and when | saw what it was about 1 thought I'd better bring it along to you right away.” inspector Kennedy glanced through the letter, and an expression of satisfaction crossed his face. “You were quite right, Dawkins,” he said, and then to Elsa: “We'll leave you now, Miss Little.” He turned to Mahony. “You come with us, Mahony,” he said. Elsa stood helplessly and watched them go. She felt utterly miserable, When they had gone she sank into a chair and cried for a long time, A police car waiting outside the house, and the Inspector mo- tioned to Mahony to enter it. Ma- hony did so. “Am I under arrest?” he asked. Inspector Kennedy smiled. He had a cheerful air. “Well, you ought to be,” he said. “And Zou might be if | hadn't dis covered that you were speaking the truth when you said you didn’t know Miss Fraser had been to Pennytields, or where she was. “Besides,. I'm hoping that if 1 leave you at liberty for a bit | may find out exactly what your game 1s. But | don’t propose to let you go till we've got our hands on Miss Fraser and heard what she has to We're on our way to fetch her now.” He handed a letter to Mahony, “Perhaps you'd like to read this. It arrived for you this evening while Sergeant Dawkins was searching your room.” Mahony opened the letter and read it. It ran: ‘ Dear Terence, i'm writing this in a frantic hurry, and it will irpbabu, be all mixed up, 1 hope you'll understand it. After you'd left the house this morning | overheard my guardian telephoning to Lawson telling him everything you'd eald. 1 tried to tele- phone to you, but couldn't get you, bo | went off in my car to see Bassett, A man let me into the house, and while | was in it there was an awful fight upstairs, and when | went up to ace what was happening | found man had been killed. | got out of ti house by the back door just as the lice were coming in at the front, bur I left my car outside the tront rr \ don't know what to do, and 1 want to see you. | am sending you this letter, and J shall be waiting for you tonight in an empty house at number 518 St. John's Wood Road. Please come and see me as soon as you can, Ruth, “It will be interesting to hear Mil Fraser’s story,” said Inspector Ken- nedy. “Yes,” mindedly. Mahony wasn’t exactly communt- cative at any time, and certainly he was less so than usual now. The fact was, he could not get the considera- tion of his own stupidity out of his mind. He had been deceived beautifully by Lee-Ramsden. And when Lee Ramsden had betrayed him, the old man had compounded the trick by leading him to doubt the loyalty of Ruth. Now, partly because of Ma- hony’s fatal error, Ruth was in dan- ger. More danger than Inspector Kennedy suspected. (Copyright. 1936.
