but they're just wise Young fools" Gar
rick thought a moment. ''You see, the
net result of some Of our new command
ments has been TO make various phases Of
lawbreaking fashionable, smart Only
this is a bit extreme"
He moved over TO the telephone. It
was working and he called the Astra
Agency Of private detectives to furnish
guard until the ringleader was caught and
he was ready to make final disposition OF
the case.
Dicks alert eyes, as they were waiting,
discovered r wireless set on q workable
in the rear. Out Of the back window he
could see the antenna from the garage to
the house. Mechanically he started tun-.
ing up. The agency men were a lonaS
time in coming.
Holy Judas priestv Dick was so
startled he was pale. Some ones
broadcasting what they call news. 1t
1t can't be. 1t must be some
crazy amateur. Ruth Walden, the heir
ess, has eIoped with John Curtis"
Garrick seized the phones. Amateur
perhaps; crazy, nor Garrick listened
and continued. Did you ever stop to con-
slider the radio as q means for SANDER
Talk about your poison pen writer's
Science has put into the hands Of black
mailers the most dangerous Of weapons.
Your story is spread to million fans.
And there's no. chance of tracing it to
your slandereri"
There isn't2 The devil there isn't
can. I Will" exclaimed Dick. IF he
keeps It up"
Everything he needed seemed there on
the workbench. 1t was comparatively
simple, loop" as It Is known, copper
wire wound eight times around a frame
four feet square. He hung 1t from the
ceiling, free. He could turn it in any di-
rectIon. He connected up the receiving
set Then he began turning the loop
slowly.
"a directionai receiver" explained
Dick. 1T must be orientated toward the
hidden sender. Really it's a radio com-
pass"
By the time the Astra men arrived Dick
had it pointed. Every few minutes a
new message came. They left the men
in charge and climbed in the car. The
direction had been east by little south.
Across the bridge Dick set up his
finder again. This time 1t was east by
little north. Over well known roads they
scurried, now and then, every few miles
setting IN the finder and modifying their
course. Who was the hidden and per-
slstent slanderer? II
LOOKS rs II II might &c down OuckF
Harbor way" exclaimed Dick, finally,
aghast.
Garrick took it as a matter of course.
1t was merely confirming his rapid de-
ductions.
At Duck Harbor, abruptly, the direc.
ton Of the messages changed to the
northeast sharply.
II believe you traced out the SENDER
cried Garrick, as they looked out over
the empty harbor. But we're too late.
The Sea VamP' has gone. The birds are
fIown.''
From cottage down the beach Gar
rick called Nita Walden at the Mono
wantuc Club.

"She went out with Glenn and Vira-
She left a note for you. Guy, marked
Mr.. Garrick, Personal Hello? Wait,
I'll open it then. Here. You told me
never to do anything again without let
ting you know. I've gone to the Sea
Yamp' to destroy the engine so they
can't move 1t away until tomorrow,
Ruth"
But the Sea Vamp' has gone!"
Nita Walden screamed her intuition.
Ruth has been carried of on the Sea
Vamp!"
