Garrick was too big to take offense.

all the time she has meant just to lead

Glenn, here, that. Nor Vira. Not yet"

had only stuck to her promise-to let
me know-1rst! But Ruth is so clever;
she thinks she's a match for any one.
And mostly she is! Wait! She'll prove
it,"
1t was cold comfort to Dick. "Well,
now, what good is 1t to be here? If
we had only gone to the city. we could
have alarmed the police there"
Garrick smiled patiently. You forget

Never thought of the Rock Ledge broad

There were no formalities necessary

like Garrick and Dick, who was & con-
slant frequenter OF the place.
They soon found themselves In a small
room, quite plain except for the draperies
that were artistlcally arranged to hide
the bare walls. There were few plants
and flowers about, also. At one end
stood q beautiful piano OF the reproduc-
