The fact was that Dick was al
most beside himself with Jealousy
as he heard Ruth discussing Jack.
The only consolation to which he
could treat himself was the nom

wished 1t?
Then he heard another voice over
the wireless. He recognized It as

the girls.

CHAPTER VII
United r-Ny<rrz

INTERFERENCE
For an hour or more Dick waited
patiently at his wireless dictagraph
in Garrick's room.
In the silence, broken now and
then by some amateur, he had
plenty of time to think of Ruth
In spite of himself his suspicious
carried him on to the Parr robbery,
Tow known. to have included the
taking of valuable jewels as well as
the footing of the Parr cellar of
some OF its choicest vintages. His
thoughts ran beyond that. to the
radio dance ana the suspicious sig
mailing from the tower of the Gerard
house.
Who was the ringleader of this
miserable affair? He thought OF
Brock, OF Georges-and of Jack
Curtis. He gritted his teeth. He
hated the very name Of the debonair
adventurer.
Dick started from hts reyerie.
The dictagraph was working!
Through the high resistance head
,, pieces had heard voices, almost as
II from one Of the old monographs
He strained his ears to recognize
the voices. 1t was Vira speaking
To Ruth?

second last night I thought we were

| Circle again. You're some driver

laugh.

Dick, at the other end, had bee
} bit worried about the ethics c
, what Garrick's detective proclivi

i. self that he would stop il it wer
, not for what Guy would say. If h

commodate just so many wireless
messages and no more-at least until
such an invention as Dick was
working on was perfected. When
that limit is reached, the air be-
comes a boiler factory.
Dick cast the headgear in use
less yexation on the table.
II seemed to him that he had been
on the point of getting just the i'm
portant thing he wanted to hear.
He had been making notes as he
went along, for somewhere he had
heard something about the methods
of detectives.
His mind was In a vhirl, as II a
dozen people were sending IN his
mental ether at once Then. sud
denly, as if unconsciously, he had
sharpened the thoughts to the eX-
act wave length, one idea seemed
to swamp all others.
Dick felt that he must get to this
! place where Ruth had spent the
night and where Garrick was run
ming into danger, If he had not al
| ready fallen into IT, And he mus
get there first.
He tore out Of the apartment
grabbed the first taxi. rode only 6
few blocks, dismissed him down thu
street
AS he sped down the block, h
could see a car in front of Gerard 8
Then a man ran across under tn
arc light. Dick quickened. He saw
in the shadow two men strugglini
