It was early in the morning when Gar

of Glenn's house at Nonowantuc.

III be a sticker. all right. Only for
heavens sake, get those girls"
Dick grasped his hand and Garrick
slapped his back encOuragingly. With
one last look to see that nothing had
been disturbed, Dick grabbed UP u small
oak case and some other portable par
aphernalia and lugged ii out to the car.
Never can tell" he said to Garrick.
Il hat to be out of radio touch. And
why the club can't appropriate money for
an outfit, I can't see."
Garrick made the club his headquarters
and he felt he would like TO start the day
there.
Cast thy words upon the ether and
they shall return unto thee after many

considered Garrick. Now what does he
mean? l didn't stop. I went right on
TO the end. And the photograph record

Dick shrugged. His mind was on some
J thing else Garrlck, in his room, hav-
ing without avail tried to find out the
