Was she quest- ing to see how far the gaiety of this debonatre, sophisticated club-man took him.

Dick Defoe was the quieter type of man undoubtedly destined to make any reasonably normal girl happy. A gracious, if reserved, manner seem- ed to announce to the world his re- serve strength of character, if trouble brewed. He quickened his pace as he saw Ruth. His fece lighted up with one of his. charming smiles. Ruth was talking vivaciously to the girls when she suddenly caught Dick's smile and answered it. “Ruth,” he said as he drew her aside with eager deferonce, ‘may I have all the waltzes this eyening?” She hesitated, looked at him a bit shyly, shrugged one beautiful shoulder as if debating whether to say yes, then smiled: ‘‘Dick—you're a fast worker! I believe you bribed the musicians. They're playing a waltz this minute! Wait . . . till I put my wrap up. I'll be with you in a second.” Dick watched her go, giéwing all over. He was going to hold her close to him, he war going to breathe the perfume of her golden hair, he was WANT TO SAID RUTH, “I DO “WHEN I DON’T DANCE,” THIS.” going to waltz, a dreamy and enticing waltz, with the girl over whom he was frantic. Then he heard someone call Ruth. It was Jack Curtis. “Ruth . . this is mine! . . When I want a dance with a girl I just put my arm about her . . . like this... and we're off!" Ruth laughed merrily, flashed back a look at Dick. “And when J don’t want to dance with a freshie I do this . + + and we're not off!” Jack had tangled himself with his own legs or else it was an added pressure as in Greek wrestling.

It was half over when Dick felt bim-| aerial to headgear, testing vacuum tubes, getting a fine adjustment on the variable condenser. The air fairly reeked with talk of tuning coils, trans- self pushed aiise and heard Jack's voice, ingratiating, “May I cut in on this?’ We all do that now!” Dick swal- lowed: “I'll leave it to Ruth.” Ruth’s only answer was a gentle pressure of his arm, a negative nod in Jack's di- rection—and she was dreaming again. There was somthing so comfortable being held closely by Dick. ‘There*was one waltz when he could not find Ruth. He hunted all over. She was not dancing; nor on the ver- anda.

The suffocating fumes of chemical extinguishers sent him blindly strug- gling, groping, gasping, back. Outside he could hear the bells and the shouts of the local fire fighters, Handker- chief over his nose and eyes he stumb- led in the hallway. . “Don't get up, Dick. You'i’ stay here with me tonight.” In a daze Dick felt sheets under him and over him. “They've given me rooms in the ‘West Wing until repairs are made,” explained Garrick. Dick blinked around, his eyes still stinging and his head in a whirl “Wh-who did it?” he gasped. “Who got—the things?” Garrick smiled “quietly. “I don't know who got the pirnts I made. The film itself and the hat were in the Club safe an hour after you left this afternoo! Early in the morning came a call from Greenport. The “Bacchante” had dropped anchor during the night. “With an early breakfast Garrick and Dick were speeding eastward, Gar- rick deeply affected by the impulsive devotion of his friend the night be- “She rides on an-even keel—for a boat with such a name!” exclaimed Garrick as they stood on a dock in his friend’s shipyard observing the “Bac- chante. Splendid lines!" enthused Dick. What I'm most interested in is what I believe must be a very effi- cient wireless on her,’ muttered Gar- rick. A small boat had put out from her and was rowing toward the shipyard. The shipbuilder himself joined them. “Take That former submarine pa- trol boat,” winked Garrick to him. “That's a fast craft, capable of going anywhere. What might a boat like that cost, if you could pick one up?” The builder caught the cup. They were deep in designs and prices when Dick suddenly interrupted at the ap proach of two men from the strect to the town. “Professor Vario. . . and, by Jove, Jack!” The four stood talking boats as the skiff with a sailor neared them. Vario was a thick-set man with a shock of hair and bushy eyebrows. His manner was the manner of a scientist but his sun-bronzed skin showed intimate acquaintance with the outdoors. Dick, who had known him quite well soon discovered that he was on a little vacation, his family having taken a cottage over on Shelter Island. “He’s the best radio trouble finder in the world,” put in Curtis. “‘There’s a friend of mine down east owns this boat. He had ‘em put in and pick me up. But they told me their wireless was on the blink. So I thought of thé Professor here and he agreed to come over and look it over. If there's any- thing wrong, he'll get it right.” The skiff had come alongside by this time. ‘Say, partner,’’ inquired the builder of Curtis. “You seem to ‘know my customers, here.
