Was it in reality a final ad- venture in the double triangle of Ruth, himself and Jack. Vira, Rae and Glenn? “So,” Dick mumbled sadcastically with a side giance at Garrick. “Ruth know very well what she was doing, eh?

Thera was a sl- lence. He looked ahout stupidly, Not that he could have expected any thing elsa than silence, Yet it was welrd, uncunny, He had spoken to a mute and Invisible audience.

Now you can have your way. To the city!" As they whirled down the splendid road Garrick could not get out of his mind the similar impression he had bhetween broadcasting and a picture studio. "I suppost in one case it's one-sided pantomime, in the other one-sided dlalogue. Anyhow, the same motto applies to both, ‘Get it across! It's a new art, not much more’ than a year old, is it, Dick? An old story to you; but full of. interest to me as a detective. Broadcasting as a busi- ness will scttle down, I suppose.-This Radio Central service is really a pub- lic service. Just now it's like the talk- ing machine companies selling you an instrument and giving away the records!" A surprise awaited them ' as they drew up at Glenn's garage guarded by the Astra agency men. “Glad you came, sir, exi agency manager .himself. three men here, now?" “Three men?" queried “Why is that?" The manager, for answer, took him inside and closed the door. In the corner was a well-dresed, expensively dressed man with a Greek cast of countenance, handcuffed. “This man—his name, he says, is Achilleo—came in here early tonight and claimed this stuff, said he had a bill of sale of something of it, and wanted to arrange for a truck to take it out."” “I know,"” cautioned Garrick look- ing at the handcuffs on the restless prisoner. “But isn't this a bit high- handed?" The Astra manager smiled know- ingly. “With contrabrand, sir, like this—stolen goods? He's an acces- sory after the fact—maybe—at least a receiver of stolen goods.” The prisoner seemed to regard Gar- rick as a saviows. He showed signs of loosening up on his surly reti- cence, “You see, sir I buy Circle—understand ?—for fifty sand dollar, understand? If 1 get all the goods, understand?” He turned aside and opened his coat for Garrick alone. In his inside pocket was a long envelope with fifty one thousand dolar bills. I make pay- ment when I get -all stuff, here, too, understand 2" Garrick did understand. It was a matter of making a quick sellout and getaway. Where's your bill of sale or whatever it is you have for this?" Achilleo pulled out a paper. It was signed by Georges and Rae la- rue as agent in fact. ‘“Let the buyer beware!" laughed Garrick as he re- turned it. *“Now, I understand that the money is to pass tonight at the Inner rcle when this is signed?" The man ‘nodded and grinned with perfect ivories. “Then, if you want to get free in this little legal trans- action. Mr. Achilleo, and have that fifty thousand yourself instead of leaving it in court as cash bail, take me to the Inner Circie and get the goods!"" The thought of the cash settled Achilleo. *“The man and the girl are now there,” he reported as he left the telephone, with hand- cuffs slipped. Garrick's raid of the Inner Circle was a noiseless, if not painless affair. But it was onty fifty per cent success ful. The net closed on Georg Rae Larue was nowhere about. Georges shut up like a clam. It was more than evident, however, that he was not the “man-at-the-top."” Thoroughly they searchsd, there was not a trace of Rae. was there a trace of Ruth or others. “*So-—the cellar is on the roof!" laughed Garrick, as they uncovered the little concrete room they had seen when they installed the dictagraph arial. ““Here's a small fortune, alone, in these cases. When 1 poked my head out through the scuttle, Dick, I saw your aerial all snarled up and tangled, wrecked.” Dick did not appear to be inter- ed. “Maybe they had a secret exit over the roofs in casc of a raid 'Anyway, Rae got away.
