his multitudinous business in pleas

There was a swish of someone
passing their door and along the
hall. Dick started. 1t was Ruth
herself Both he and Garrick were
on their feet in a moment, quietly,
down the hall after her and around
a heavy carved newell post UP the
stairs to the second floor.
She turned as she heard their
steps in the wide hall on the second
floor.
And along came Ruth.' exclaim-
ed Garrick, smiling.
what are you boys doing here?
Shopping again? It's a bad idea.
Shoppers never come to any good
end!" She laughed. but neither
could be so obtuse as not to see that
there was a kick in 1t.
She had her hand on the knob of
a door at the end of the hall. She
turned 1t, looked in, shut the door
again and faced them.
SHOW us around, Ruth. I'm
crazy about this shack"
"Well. Guy, you might think I

Her lightning mind seemed to
tune itself to a fine adjustment. She
did not wait for a reply. Instead,
she opened the door and admitte i

She did not wait for more explain
alton but was out in the hall again,
closing the door softly.
Garrick, running I'll to form,
opened a cedar chest between two
closet doors. He beckoned Dick.
"A radio frequency amplifer!" he
muttered to Dick. "All wired up"
He closed the chest upon the COM

his finger along the picture moldins

the dust from his fingers and wiped
them on his handkerchief.

the same distance that the same
equipment would il it were used
with a good antenna. Still, during
the summer when there are many
lightning storms and static is at it's
worst, the loop is an interesting
means of receiving. To begin with,
the loop is safe from lightning since
it can be used indoors. More than
that, it doesn't pick up static like
the usual antenna. 1t doesn't make
use of a ground connection. 1t only
intercepts a small portion of the

That's all very interesting. but

Dick nodded, half comprehending.

Ruth opened the door quietly,
mysteriously. She seemed to be
laboring under high tension.

to go on with more personal ques-

Ruth beckoned them out in the
hall. 1t was noticeable that she was
discreetly quiet. "Of course. 1 can.

these are the lodgings of about half
a dozen members and, believe me,

back down the thick-carpeted hall.
She came Il a door. There's one

She opened the door and 1t appear

Ruth started down the stairs and
they followed. past a door that evil

to the former basement.
