 Ruth opened the door quietly. mys. teriously. She seemed to be labor ing under high nervous tension.
 You saw the dance floor and din- Ing room downstairs And you met Georges. guess you can guess that anything Georges has anything to do with will be at least aristocratic ?" Everything is classy and in taste, v admitted Dick. Tt has atmosphere, and all that" He longed to go on with more personal questions But Garricks presence restrained him. Ruth beckoned them out in the hall. It was noticeable that she was discreetly quiet "Of course, I can't show you around up here You see. these are the lodgings of about half dozen members and. believe me, they pay.

 Dick struck a light. But as he did so a rush of air ex- inguished it and back of them langed the iron door. There was rinding of a bolt. "Confound it." growled Garrick at citing himself be trapped A gong began ringing, stridently.
