The man went spraying backward

At that moment Garrick heard
the chatter Of feet from across the

before he could turn, the other man
was on him, bearing him down with
the momentum of the rush. He was
husky but Garrick felt he could
outwrestle him.
The fellow sprawling on the turf

a hold.

Where's Ruth? Guy, have you
heard how badly she was hurt?
For heavens sake, set her back here.
The place is dead without Ruth"
The old lady pumped down in a
nearby chair to listen, actually with
mouth open.

handbag from his rooms.

We'll, jump in."
The professor was eager to assist
them in every way as far as they
chose to take him into their conf
dence. Garrick had met him many
times at the Club and Dick and
Vario had had much in common in
their work. He seemed particularly
interested in keeping Ruth out of
further harm and very sympathetic
toward Mrs. Walden in her trouble.
However, Garrick did not propose
to discuss much with even Vario and
on the way he and Dick fell into a
discussion of their hobby, especially
on Vario's lecture on his new wave
meter.

Vario, "have difficulty in finding the

as silent as sleeve valves could make
it.
Garrick dismissed his taxi at the
corner and ebgan to reconnoitre. To
hi samazement he saw that he was
on the block where was the town
house Of Vira Gerard's family.
1t was an added shock when he
saw that the ear had stopped just in
front of the Gerard house and that
the driver had entered the gate and
was fumbling with key at the door.
Garrick quickened his steps. 1t

this mystery.

but at last he got the right wave

He looked up at Garrick, smiled,
and took the headgear off, handing
it to him. Get that?"

claimed, Why, l can hear the whirr

and do anything he could to relieve
her anxiety.

Garrick had been thinking out a
plan for the installing Of the dicta-
graph. Up the street from the Inner
| Circle were two houses turned into
studio apartments. he found the
caretaker and the conversation was
lucrative to her.
Dick selected and carried up to the
roof the apparatus and they went as
silently as possible across the inter
vening roofs until they came to the
roof of the Inner Circle.
IT was a curious roof. In the CEN
ter had been built great concrete
box as big as a room. There was no
time to investigate that, however.
Garrick fished with a line down
the chimney, by sounding, until he
located the flue TO the Pink Room
Then, dangling down, he lowered the
dietagraph transmitter until it must
have hung foot from the floor OF
the hearth back of the iron grill
work under the mantel below in the
Pink Room.
Meanwhile, on the roof, Dick had
been busy I placing his sending set

Two hours later fuond them in
Dicks own wireless workshop. IT
was the boathouse on his estate
where he had done some remarkable
things with wireless. 1t was true
that Defoe had some wonderful
equipment but ali the equipment IN
the world would not have availed
him he had not had that spark Of
inventive genius inherited from his
famous father.
4 Outside he had big aerial from
two steel towers. Garrick looked
with admiration at the completeness
Of the workshop inside, the hack
saws, mitre saws, cross-uct saws,
frames, chisels, gouges, files, vises.
There were drills, hands, breast,
geared and twist, pliers with all sorts
of noses. There was wire, copper,
iron, aluminium, plain and insulated,
of all sizes, flexible insulated wire
cord, enough for a supply store.
Fiber board and bakelite, porcelain
insulators, tubing, sheet brass, sheet
copper, everything at the very finger
tips of the young inventor.
Interested though he would have
been at any other time, Garrick
urged haste Dick led him proudly
to a table on which was his appa-
ratus
So this is the Defoe wireless
dictagrapb, compllmented Garrick,
picking. UP the familiar little round
transmitter like that which he had
used so many time on the wired
machine
As he packed the parts Dick hasti-
y enumerated them, his sending set,
batteEIes, coils of wire, small portable
antennae, and the receiving set.
They at last had everything
strapped IN ON the rear of Garrick S
car and as they swung up toward
the turnpike they stopped for mo-
meat at The Nonowantuc Club.
AS Dick hoped out, followed by
Guy, there was suspicious silence
on the club perch as often happens
when the friends of an interesting
factor of~thc preceding conversation
draw nigh. Silence : is Freudian.
Dick win&ed at Garrick.
A buXom old lady, trembling for
gossip, was actually short-breathed
to get to GarriGk before group Of

him.

drew up and Rae looked out eli the
sedan in which she was. asa she
saw Glenn Buckley in the roadster
she jumped out to meet him.
Glenn greeted her with sickly
smile.
.Wcll, you poor fish" exclaimed
Rae. You must believe in ghosts.
You look as thought you'd seen one.
What are you doing here?"
Just looking j.. to see if
there's anyone about"
Gee, Glenn, I'm thirsty. Let's
go down to the Inner Circle. Will
you take me?"
Surely, Rae. Always glad to re-
lieve drought and be charitable to
my own at the same time
Rae grabbed his arm and swung
up behind the wheel. They were off.
To himself Glenn had had to adj
NIT that no one could be bored in
RAGS society, No wonder Vira was
jealous. But he wouldn't have taken
a dozen Raes for one Vira. He
didn't lie coarseness and some
times Pae did not suit his fastidious
nature. Vira with all her modernity,
vivaclty and recklessness never was
coarse.
Mckay had gone, properly reward
ed, and Garrick was bordering over
what he had just learned.
We're they the three at the Parr
estate last night-Rae, Brock and
Jack? he speculated aloud at
length.
But Jack could hardly have been

must have been on the 'Bacchante.' :"
How about GLENN"
"Or Georges?" parted Dick.
Perhaps -. What ,of Ruth?
Say, Dick, Pm going to leave
you here with that wireless dicta-
graph. You can work it best any
how. insult get a line on that
garage and do it right away"
Down the street in a lunchroom
Garrick caught sight of Mckay again
and beckoned him quietly out.
" | was thinking about calling you
up, sir, soor," informed Mckay. Il
was lust talking to one of the polish
ers in there. He tells me that Jack
Curtis gave orders to some driver
about the place, a stranger, to go
after something at eleven O'Clock
He didn't know what it was or where
it was but he give him key, sir. /"
Mckay pointed the fellow, a
stranger, out, and Garrick reached
into his pocket for his every-ready
roll Of bills
Mckay seemed really offended.
Mr.. Garrick-please. / didn't feel
right when you slipped me that other
five spot. Mrs. Walden has been so
fine to me-I've driven her three
years and, as you might say, seen
Miss Ruth grow up. Say, l believe
I'd lose an arm or leg to get this
thing settled straight"
Alone Garrick waited. 1t was now
half past nine. He had an hour and
q half to watch. As be did so he
rcvolved the two -robberies over and
over in his mind Each time his
thought led him to the same path.
