Perth Amboy evening news., 1922-06-09
The dissimilar and averaged

gether the dissimllar and averaged
them.
There was no approval Of the BUT
terfly and the candle in Dick, how
ever. and they were soon into a dis
cussion of Rae and the evident
dissipation she showed.
zone does not readily think u
girls sowing wild OATS remarked
Garrick. yet they often do. This Is
one OF the strange anomalies of the
new freedom OF women"
Dick frowned as he thought OF
the glamor Of the life they had seen
at the Inner Circle. What the eni
OF Il all might be, he evidently pre-
ferred not to guess. At least he did
not pursue the subject.
do you know, I've been worry
ing a good deal about the handwrit-
ing on that autographs flm." Gar
rick changed the subject as he
brought out duplicate prints he had
made. Whose is It? Do you hap
pen to have any note or letter from
Ruth 2"
Dick could not avoid the point
blank inquiry. He pulled a little
note from his pocket. Inside the
envelope was a dainty handkerchief.
Garrick looked up with a question
ing smile. Dick flushed. "A note
from Ruth several weeks ago :"
| Then he stopped. He did not need %
explain the dainty little bit of lace.
Garrick took the note and laid K
down on the table beside the print.
Then with his pencil he began not
ing the formation of letters. the
capitals, a score of little characters
tics.
THE writing Is Ruth's. all right"
- ---A.A1 -AaA~ hath oxsa -
Dick and at arms length in silence
the pencil.
IT think I'm getting a line on
Ruth" he said in a tone to reassure
Dick. "She's a game bird-but she
flies funny"
There was a pause. The concert
number was now a solo. Loves Old
Sweet Song"
Neither said a word. Dick was
/ mechanically folding up the letter.
restoring the handkerchief in the
envelope. and handing back the
print to Guy.
They sat for a moment as the
words. clear. tender. distinct, trans
ferred Hertzian waves into waves OF
emotion.
Suddenly - ah-h-h Bizz-zz-zz-zz
Buzz-zz-zz-zz.
A shade of annoyance passed over
Dicks face as if a thread of feeling
had been broken.
Bzzzzzzzz-dot-dash -dot-dot-dash
Dick scowled. Garrick tapped the
ger.
Then suddenly each looked up
and caught the eyes of the other.
Paging Miss Ruth Walden from
the Sea Vamp. Meet me in the Pink
Room tonight. jack"
The dots and dashes ceased. Bzzzz
Buzz-xz-xz. Then the solo started
again.
Garrick looked into the mirror
which gave him a reflection o.
Glenn and Vira. They had got 1t,
too. The dots and dashes had meant
only interruption to most in the
room. To two people they were a
message: to two others they were a
mystery.
A few moments later Glenn paid
the check and the two rose to go.
| Garrick hastily did the same.
"They will tell Ruth" he nodded
to Dick as they went out. She'll be
there"
In the press in the lobby they
managed to get just back of the now
earnestly %conversing couple.
"Well if Jacks here . . then
Rae is, too"
Glenn looked more troubled.
Garrick drew Dick over toward
the news stand just in time to pre-
vent their being seen following.
$50 Jack Curtis has come in
again." ground u Dick.
We've just simply got to hea,
what is said in that Pink Room to-
night" considered Garrick. with a
| glance at Dick as much as to ask,
"Are you gamer"
Dicks face lighted up as II a sun
| ray arc had been switched on.
"ldy wireless dictagraph!" he ex-
| claimed.
