Garrick turned keenty toward Mrs. ‘Walden. “What does Fic} «ay? Who was up there? Was she in the tower?” Mrs, Walden looked away-and mur- mured, “Ruth refuses to say any- thing.” Nita was getting more nervous by the second. She won't say,” she re- plied in a horse whisper. “Hm,” considered Garrick. “It comes down to whether it is another crime in the wave of crime that has been hitting ths country places this summer—or is-it a job pulled off with the assistance of someone at the dance!” 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 THREE OF THEM, TWO MEN AND A GIRL. and now stood trembling as ff on a springboard over the water. “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 pearls!” “Whew! Have any of the others been returned? Could it have been a hoax?” “Nol” Nita sank back in a wicker chair her splendid shoulders convulsed as she sank her head into a little filmy handkerchief and sobbed. “I am frantic about Ruth's silence... .

He had a touch of humor, even through his keen Irish wit saw the serious and suspici side of the incident. . “Oh, I had been out joy-riding, sir —rm sorry to have to say it ma’'am-~" he bowed toward Mrs. Wal- den “with Lotta, one of the maids at Oldfield.” It was evident that McKay was striving to show that he had nothing to conceal—and a lot to tell. More- over, on the score that there had been a signal and the affair was an job, he seemed anxious to-clear “Lotta, too, “So when Mr. Gerard asks me, I says ‘It’s darn funny. It must have happened right after that light sis- nal down toward Crane's neck,” ““Light? Signal? Tell me about bi aad “Well I saw it,“ returned McKay, a trifle contentiously. “A lot of us| saw it, That's what made the sus- Picion that it wasan inside job. You see, I saw the storm: coming up fast and I beat it back to Bellevue in the car with Lotta a milea minute. You know that tower-on the corner of the Gerard house? I thought you’d know %. Most everybody does and has seen the searchlight in ft. Weill, when the storm broke—I suppose that was some time after their wireless went on the bithk. ..- The lightning was great. It always is out there—tlights up the shore for miles and the sea and you see the waves breaking ‘way down on the rocks and the beach. Between flashes of lightning I saw the searchlight moving up and down the shore and I says to myself, ‘That's a queer stunt—maybe a lit- tie dangerous on a night like this up in that there tower.” Eut the search lose the jewels a hundred times . .. . than to have them returned under ing. ‘ “TI don’t think Ruth was-much more than a child.” wailed Nita, straighten- ing 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—androad- houses out here-on: the Island.” Garrick involuntarily elevated his, eyebrows. “Oh, it's not a question of morals —alone,“ she hastened. “After all, sometimes common sense and fool- ishness aro fair equivalents for right and wrong.” . Garrick looked up quickly, genuinely surprised at this dit of worldy wis- dom. “When girls do stupid, dangerous things, trouble-follows,” she persisted, “if not at once, a bit later. I’m afraid this is a case of it. Besides . . . Ruth comes into the income her father’s estate next month when she is eighteen.” “Who are-tn this set?” asked Gar- rick, then in a tone of gentle raillery, “Who are these dancing men?” “Phere’s young Glenn Buckiey.| They call him the Demon Lover, you know. He’s just a smart college kid with a pile of money and a smatter- ing of information. He can take up cricket or radio or acting or rela- tivity or banking—he knows them all. Another is that Jack Curtis, over at the hotel. "They call him ‘Worcester- shire’—he'’s the sauce to anything they arrange, makes it snappy. In my humble opinion, though, he’s nothing more nor less than another cabaret product.” “I know him ... what I call a ‘ditto boy,’ plunges in with the big splash and swims with the tide.” “Oh, why can’t Ruth accept Dick Richard Defoe was a friend of Gar- rick, graduate of a great engineering school, son of a famous engineer/and already an inventor of no mean fame. that checked Garrick from insisting | McKay touched his cap and re-| queer about it all. You will .. |into it for me?” “Indeed I wil, Nita. Giada of the opportunity. I'm rather fed up on country life just now, anyhow. Be-| |sides, Td like nothing fetter than to| |get some of these youngsters right.” Nita Walden glowed her tharks an¢ was whisked away. Garrick took a turn or two across the deserted end of the veranda. « A couple of years before the war, Garrick, just out of college, of fine family and some fortune, had de- cided to dilettante his way into de-| tective life. “There must be something new in order to catch criminals nowadays,” | he tol a friend. “The old methods are all right—as far as they go. But} criminals are keeping up with science.” “But what a hobby!” his friend had returned. “Never knew anybody in our set ever to take up that!” ‘We're always shaken down, mailed, victimized, imposed on —until jwe, the wise ones, are the casiest marks of all!” So, in his casual way, Garrick had traveled to London, Paris, Berlin Vienna where ho had studied the amazing growth abroad of the new criminal science. It was not merely desultory. With his careless predi- lection, he had absorbed nearly every- thing from such men as Gross, Lacas- sange, Riess, all the successors of the day of the immortal Bertillon. Next a strange thing happened. The war broke out, and before he knew it, he was drawn into brilliant service in the Office of Naval Intel- ligence, from which he emerged a Lieutenant Commander. Then for four years he had settled back into the life he had been born into, until now he was virtually father confessor of all the troubles of the social leaders, a sort of unofficial ad- visor, with no profession except a good time and with the Garrick for- tune that was ample to indulge his hobbies. “So ... here you are. Been look- ing all over Suffolk County for you, Guy.” It was Dick Defoe. “Suppose you've heard that new tale of Dame Rumor—about the Radio Dance last night?” Garrick nodded but did not commit luimself. This was an ideal chance. He wanted to see how much Dick knew and whether he could add any- thing. Perhaps some fresh angle would offer a new attack on the case. Dick knew less than Mrs. Walden, but felt as much, “Guy,” he pleaded, “you must... biack- herself . . . and her friends.” Curiously, here was Defoe appeal- ing to-him to do what he had already agreed to do. Garrick was used to such coincidences. “Well, then, tell me something about thoue friends. What about the radio kid, Glenn Buckley?” Garrick watched with concealed amusement the reaction on Dick's face. “Oh,-he’s like a great many people today. It isn’t the scientific interest in radio that Glenn feels. It's the entertainment value in it—in any- thing that appeals to him. As a scientific study. I suppose motion Pictures were interesting to people ‘who were following what Edison and ‘others were doing. But when they became a source of entertainment, Pictures becars the fifth industry. ‘That's the way it is with radio today with Glenn. Besides, dio is fashionable. It’s smart, Like the automobile was twenty years ago, I imagine. Glenn wants to be smart. So he has asked the advice and assist- ance of Professor Vario over at Rock Ledge. The-rest.of the-erowd, I guess you know—that Jack Curtis. You've scen him around the club. To me, though, Ruth is the center of every- thing. But ... then, there’s Vera Gerard . . . and that Larue girl. Of course, Glenn has taken quite a fancy in this wireless craze-of ‘his to Professor Vario at the Radio Cen- “What about him?” reiterated Gar- rick. “Oh ... nothing . .. guess Tm thinking too much about Glem™! Any- how, it just shows how foolishness radiates-and hits everybody—like Her tzian waves.” The Radio Central at Rock Ledge some 10 miles east along the Sound shore covered an area of 10 square miles with twelve rows of 410-foot towers radiating for a mfle and a half from the central station, without a|' doubt the largest radio plant of the kind in the world. “But you haven't told me yet whether you were at this Radio Dance Jast night,” recalled Garrick. they’d invite me, do you? My tastes are just a trifle too quiet for that speedy set.” “But you do go out with Ruth a great deal, don’t you?” ‘Of late he had turned all his attention to a ‘radio invention in which he ceemed to have a strange aptitude. His work on wireless photo transmis- gh; was just Ire artificial lightning, pston, his perfection of a wireless dic- omty you could sco any part of tho|tograph and wireless telautograph had rhore you wanted snd the waves} won him wide recognition. Just now “Not as much as I’d like. But, as for that dance ... they didn’t want me there any more than they'd in- vite me to...” Dick cut short. “Where?” Dick shrugged and was silent. ; "Come, now. If you want me to | “It’s just our set that needs it most. |- you must help me save Ruth from |. just now ra-|i “Of course not.

What's that?” A lot of the young folks chartered it and chose that spot because it was not far from the club and yet not too far from the city. It's a bit out of the way, but that makes them practically own the beach and that end of the harbor for their swimming races and water sports. Some of the sportier older folks go with them—once tn a while” “Well... what of it?’ “Just this. There's more deviltry cooked up on the upper deck or in the stloon of the ‘Sea Vamp’ than -+-than will ever get into Town Topics.” Garrick turned down the steps. “Jump into my racer, Dick. You're going to take me to look over this “Sea Vamp".” (Continued in our Next Issue.) ——_—— NOTICE TO ALL PERSONS LIA- BLE TO ASSESSMENTS FOR THE IMPROVING OF THE FOLLOW- ING NAMED STREETS IN PAV- ING DISTRICT NO. 18.
