Il can't say, sir"
"That will do, john" motioned
Mrs. Walden.
There was something in her tone
that checked Garrick from insisting
on the pursuit of the identity of the
mystery girl.
Mckay touched his hat and re-
turned to his car quicker than he
had left it.
Garrick turned keenly toward Mrs.
Walden. "What does Ruth say? Who
was up there? Was she in the
tower?"
Mrs. Walden looked away and
murmured, Ruth won't say" she re-
piled in hoarse whisper.

Nita Walden shook off a restraint,
as if it had been a wrap, She had
come at last to the real point that
had led her to seek Garrick's counsel
and now stood trembling as if on a
springboard over the water.

happened right after that light sig
nailed down toward Cranes neck.
Light? Signal? Tell me about
it."
"Well l saw it," returned Mckay,
a trifle CONTINUOUSLY. "a lot of US
saw it. That's what made the sus-
picion that it was an inside job. You
see, | saw the storm coming up fast
and | beat it back to Bellevue in the
car with Lolita a mile minute. You
know that tower on the corner of the
Gerard house? | thought you'd
know it. Most everybody does and
has seen the searchlight in it. Well,
when the storm broke-I suppose
that was some time after their wire
less went on the blink The
lightning was great. 1t always is
out there-lights up the shore for
miles and the sea and you can see
the waves breaking way down on
the rock and the beach.
Between flashes of lightning l
saw the searchlight moving up and
down the shore and | says to myself,
That's queer stunt-maybe a lit
tie dangerous on a night like this up
in that there tower But the search
light was just like artificial light
ming, only you could see any part
of the shore you wanted and the
waves smashing over the rocks, at
any time you liked and as long as
you liked. From where | was l seen
that there was fellow and a girl
up in the tower = a fellow that
looked, maybe, like Glenn Buckley.
! 'The light travelled along the
shore, up toward Cranes Neck. 1t
was beautiful. Just as it touched
the cove, l made out three figures.
1t seemed as if they started down
the short just as the light hit 'em.
The light travelled on, then turned
back over the country and whoever
was flashing it swung it about as far
as he could in an arc. Then it went
out.
Five minutes later-just about

This morning" she blurted out
in desperation, "a messenger boy de-
livered a package to Ruth. In it
were her jewels that had been taken
from her-the Walden pearlsp'
"Whew! Have any of the others
been returned? Could it have been
a noax?"
Mop Nita sank back in a wicker
chair, her splendid shoulders con-
vulsed as she sank her head into a
little filmy lace handkerchief and
sobbed. II am frantic about Ruth's
silence Is silence confession?
Better to lose the jewels a
hundred times than to bave
them returned under such circum-
stancesw
Garrick was thinking about Ruth
Walden, the pretty Flapper sub-deb.
He said something soothing, reassur-
ing.
81 didn't think Ruth was much
more than a child" walled Mia,
Strengthening and dabbing at her
eyes with the handkerchief, "but she
has been going to all sorts of
dances"
What sort of dances?"
"The cabarets in the city-and
roadhouses out here on the Island. +"
Garick involuntarily elevated his
eyebrows.
'Oh, it's not a question of morals
alone" she FASTENED. after all,
sometimes common sense and fool
ishness are fair equivalents for
right and wrong"

at was a spectacular storm, you
know. with the lightning flashing
and crashes of thunder. They were
debating whether to use the Fletrola
and canned music or improvlse an
orchestra of their own. At the
height of the storm came voice
from the French windows:
GLANDS up! And be quick
about it! Line up along that
wall! And keep your mouths
shutw
There seemed to be three of them,
masked, two men and girl-a regu-
lar electromagnetic hussy. She held
the bag and gun and took the
Jewels while the two men covered
the party They seemed to
know just what they wanted, what
to expect"
"What did they get?"
"Why, those bandits went through
the party. They must have got away
with a hundred thousand dollars
worth of jewelry oh, more
than that. The Walden pearls that
they took from Ruth were worth
+Uan+y thousand easily,"
"a good haul. But what's this
gossip | hear that it was an inside
job?"
Mrs. Walden glanced about to
make sure that they were out of ear
shot. Chats what | want your help

She leaned over the rail of the We
randa. "Johnw
Mckay, down the driveway with
the car, touched his cap and sided
up the steps of the club veranda.
"John, will you tell Mr.. Gerrick
what you saw last night over at
Gerard's?"
well, sir" began Mckay, balanc-
ing accurately first on one foot, then
on the other, as he picked at his
visored cap, after it was all over
and there was a general alarm, sir,
old Mr.. Gerard came down to see
what all the shootin' was for and he
asked me a lot of questions-about
the signal-and-"
"Just how did you happen to be
there, McKay?" asked Garrick. 81
didn't know Miss Ruth would let
anybody drive her car"
Mckay smiled. He had a touch of
humor, even though his keen Irish
wit saw the serious and suspicious
side of the incident.
ooh, l had been out joy-riding, sir
Pm sorry to have to say it,
ma'am-" he bowed toward Mrs.
Walden with Lolita, one of the
maids of Oldfield."
1t was evident that Mckay was
