MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23, SYNOPSIS: Although Inspector Kennedy suspects Terence Mahony of Vincent Little's murder. Ken- nedy {8 giving Terence a sporting chance to catch the man he knows is guilty—Ambrose Latoson. And Lawson has twisted Blsa Little's plan to help Mahony tnto a trap to catch him and kill him, But Latw- son finds an unexpected obstacle, which is that Elsa insists on going to the fateful rendezvous with Lawson and his gang of supposedly benevolent kidnappers. who osten- sibly only want to get Terence out of the country. Chapter 43 NEW PLAN HEREVER, thought Lawson, that house was situated, Ma- , hony was not going to leave it alive. If possible, he had intended to kill Mahony, dispose of his body quietly, and then pretend to Elsa that he had been captured, placed unharmed aboard a small steamer bound for South America, and would be looked after when he arrivd tere. Now that ‘plan was completely spoiled by Elsa’s stubborn insistence on being present at Mahony’s capture herself. A slight, devilish smile touched the corners of Lawson's lips. It had occurred to him that perhaps, after all, it would not be a bad thing if Elsa were to go to that house. Cer- , 1936. The Wrong Murderer By HUGH CLEVELY He came straight to the object of his visit. “Look here, Lawson, | want to know what the devil you think you've been up to,” he said bluntly. “So far as I can see, you've bungled things absolutely hopelessly.” “In whac way?” asked Lawson. “In every way.” replied Lee Ramsden. “You know perfectly well how I'm situated. In seven weeks’ time from now, Ruth comes into con- trol of her money. That means my ruin. We agreed together on'a plan which would erable me to retain con- trol of the money. You were te kidnap Ruth, make her into’a dope addict, and then return her to her home.” “And a very good idea it was, too,” put in Lawson. “She'd have been in control of her moneyi but yor'd have been in control of her, and every- thing would have been very comfort- able for everyone.” His manner was cool and indiffer- ent; he had the air of a man with not a care in the world. Actually, he was feeling far from indifferent to the failure of his schemes; his airy manner was assumed to hide his own chagrin. “WOU bungled that scheme,” said Lee-Ramsden harshly. “You let that man Mahony get the girl away from you.” EO Mahony was to have been placed aboard a small steamer. * tainly she would witness his treach- & ery. but what of it? What would that «matter? Lawson’s smile broadened; a hard @ sleam came into his narrow eyes. He was a vain man, and liked to imagine “himself the central and important “4 figure in dramatic situations. The! situation which he was now planning | for the following night in that lonely house on Clapham Common pleased | him greatly. Mahony had once saved Elsa from being kidnapped by him. Well, Ma * hony should see him kidnap Elsa ¢ and be powerless to interfere. Elsa had been trying to discover her uncle’s murderer. She should learn the identity of that murderer from the murderer's own lips. He imagined himself triumphant, with Elsa and Mahony both helpless in his hands. Already in his mind he was savoring Elsa’s white-faced, ter. rified horror and Mahony's despuir- ing. impotent rage. Manony ite would kill. there and then, with as) own hands. , _ But Elsa he would not kill. She should be taken away and held prisoner until she was a hopeless _ and incurable slave of the drug “ habit. Then he would release her . knowing that. as her only means of * procuring the drug she craved, he| “That was unfortunate,” admitted Lawson. “But | haven't finished with Mr. Mahony yet. What are you worrying about? There’s still an: other seven weeks to go. A lot can happen in seven weeks.” “Quite a lot has happened in the jast week.” retorted Lee-Ramsden angrily. “And most of it has been to your disadvantage. You told me days ago you hadn't finished with Mahony yet. It seems to me that the boot is on the other feot—that he hasn't finished with you. “Why, you damned incompetent bungler, every time you've come up against that man he’s bested you. And look at the position now. Halt your tame crooks have deserted you. The police are after Ruth, and most likely they'll catch her. If they catch her, they may send her to prison; in any case they'll detain her for a time. ARMY AND OFFICE | NINE DIVIDE TWO CONTESTS SUNDAY | {BOTH GAMES WERE WELL- PLAYED; ARMY TOOK FIRST 3 TO 1 AND LOST SECOND 3TOO Yesterday afternoon on the pa- rade grounds at the Army Bar- racks, Army and Administration diamondball teams played two very interesting games, the kind of contests fans would expect at a championship series. Both games were well-played and hard-fought. The final re- sults were in doubt until the last man was put out. Honors were about even, Army winning the first game and Administration the second. The opener was a pitcner’s bat- tle between White of the Army and Arias of the losers. Army managed to push two tallies across the plate in the second inning and one in the sixth, while the best Administration could:do was te tally once in the sixth. Score by innings: Administration— 000 001 G6—1 5 2 Army 200 001 x—3 7 Batteries: Arias and Rodriguez; White and Nodine. In the second game, Adminis- tration tu-ned the tables and shut- out the Army, 3 to 0. This game {also developed into a pitchers’ bat- tle, between Gene Roterts of the victors and Orteza of the losers. The Of‘ice boys scored two rung in the opening stanza and one ‘n the fifth. Score by innings: R. H. E. Army 000 000 0O—0 5 2 Administr: n— 200 010 x—3 7 1 Batteries: Ortega and Powell; Eugene Roberts and Rodriguez. But 24 safeties were made by both teams in the two games—12 in each contest. Six errors were [marked up, three in each contest.
