man was on the defensive.
Don't worry. No one will find
anything. Jack will take care OF
that"
Vira made a little suppressed ex-
clamation. Il can imagine my Ma
ter if 1 was caught in a bootle\ying
clean outl That'd be the last straw
on the dromedary. She's been looking
for some new sheik for me in the
shape OF a grand old octogenarian
husband. I was straight on the road
to perdition when 1 went into pic
lures. I shock the folks a dozen
times a day. But a rum running
scandal! Go. get thee TO a nunnery,
Virar'
Speaking Of mothers e" Ruth
paused, nothing fippant in word or
tone.
Dick at the other end was aghast.
\ It was all surprising news, this clue
to where Ruth had been the night
/ before. Also, 1t was some mitigated
relief. She had got back 10 town
! shaken up by the accident and had
gone with Nira 10 Nira's empty town
house. More than that. there was
/ som ething he did not get; but some
/ how her smash up had been con-
cerned with trying TO Illustrate
something, not perpetuate 1t.
Il won't go back there tonight,
/ Vira." she said at length. I'm 60
/ ing to stay at the Usonia. A nice
/ little lecture is coming TO me for be-
I ing out two nights and smashing
my car. Think Of It - her getting
out there and getting II towed in
I herself 10 the same garage we tele-
phoned 10 for a wrecking car-Only
\ III bet o.. Well o.. no rum-running
arrest yet II might dampen the
ardor OF someone 1 know whose ar

/ Brock. YOU said this would be lark.
It's a lark. all right. We wake up
the larks!"
"Ruthie. old sore-bones. how do
you feel? l heard you talking about
lark. You look as if you had been
on one that took a nose dive
II was Rae who was at least one
Of the new arrivals.
Lark" This from Ruth. con-
temptuously. Yes One thing leads
Ito another. all right. First we start
this place Then We get in over our
heads. Then we begin getting our
I own stuff 10 save money Then we
I begin getting more than we can use
hereto make some money-to pay
the other expenses. Then - oh.

came audible also TO Dick. Glenn
/ had evidently been another OF the
new arrivals.
Now. Ruth. watch Glenn desert
me for Vira. He was glad enough
/ TO come down here with me. Never
mind. Glennie. I'll tell you yet.
Dick could hear Rae laugh teasingly.
"Vira. If YOU don't put more pep
into Glenn. I'm going TO take a
hand"
You're taking a lot for granted,
Rae" put in Ruth.
Rae has a very taking way" said
I Vira pointedly.
Now. fellows, smOothed out
Glenn "Quit ioing your stuff No
good ever comes
TO r0gues when rogues faE out,
Ruth finished with laugh and some
claws in the soft voice
Il hear Jack and Georges DOWN
stairs" Rae changed the subject
systematically. "Oh, here's Jack now.
Well. Jack. what's the dirt?"
I Ruth did not wait FOR any answer.
Did you-?"
Yes. I did. Ruth" fastened Jack.
Got a good scout 70 go up there TO
Vira's place and remove those Parr
cases as soon as the coast is clear
say eleven o'clock"
What time Is II now?''
Must be about that now %. It's
after"
Again Dick felt his heart throb-
bling violently when the Ho-tizian
waves were reconverted into sound
waves and brought the next CONVEX
sation 20 his ears.
Ruth. dear, how do YOU ftei?'
Dick was te2se. Il was Jack speak
ling.
