“Now, Nita/’ irsisted rick as
they ivttorned to uer ear, ‘don - lei

mouthed. I can handle this thing.
Don’t ..-orry. Just keep busy. See,
the sun is out, now. Give her a sur
prise. lake McKay; go .out there;
get her ear towed somewhere before
she dees. I’ll get her, safe.”
Nita Walden was nearly hysteri
cal, but the tTf sure of Garick’s
hand and his almost hypnotic eyes
won her. *
Glenn had ot been . Jch a bad
guesser- It was nearly three when
Garrick and Dick sauntered into the
lobby of th., .lumps Elysecs, looked
about cautiously, and proceeded to
get under cover.
Beiore the tea n u n mez
zanine floor hung a . P.-diu
Concerts Daily.” They »<. . I i.. saw
thut the coast wa clear, and selected
a table in an angular corner, with a
mirror so placed that it >.>s a verit
able periscope.
An orchestra in Newark was
broadcasting some selection a. they
sat down at the tab’r and ordered tea
and crumpets.
It was not more than sixty sec
onds after three that they 5... v Glenn
cotnc in, looking pale and tired, se
lect a table at the other end of 1
room and drop into a chair facing
the entrance.
Ten minutes later Vira bustled in,
excited and angry about something
—and worried. Glenn rose and greet
ed her, all animation, now that a
girl was in question.
r« things .re more fascinating
tha’i -rening to a radiophone con
cert. Someone turns die tuning
handle the receiving set Short and
long buzzes following each other in a
lazy sort of way indicate some ama
teur teleg pher at work!
Th® tuning handle is turned a little
more and a peculiar moaning soui
is heard. Turned still more the
sound becomes a weal, voice or mu
sic. A final turning of the handle
brings in the radiophone loud and
clear. The tuning is exceedingly
sharp.
It is fascinating ordinarily, bui
there were four people at opposite
ends of the room for whom thi- cor
cert had no interest.
Garric and Dick, watching and
wondering what to do, . 1 ?li «„ into
a discussion of Ruth tv-'. Vira and
Garrick were taking a ci iel delight
in souiiu'ng Dick.
To his serious mind, Dick con
fessc , it was juat [bis vivacious
type of Ruth that had for him the
greatest attraction. As he put it, -
intellectual girl would have been
merely intensifying his own nature.
Garyick was urging him on ..nd de
livering a little scientific homily on
Wise old nature that brought to
gether the dissimilar and averaged
thorn.
There was no approval of the but
terfly and. the candle in Dick, how
ever, and they w■, 0J uto adi -
eu s.en of Rae and the evident
dissipsrron she showed.
“One doe not readily think of
girls sowing wi'u oats,” remarked
Garrick. “Yet they often do. This is
one of the strange anomalies of the
new freeuom of women.”
Dick frowned as he thought of the
glamor of the life they had seen at
the Inner Circle. V hat the end of
it all might be, he n-idently pre
ferred not. to guess. At lealt he
did not pursue tl.o subject.

‘Do you know’, I've been morry
ing a good deal about the handwrit
ing n t. it autographic film,” Gar
rick changed the subject as he
b’ouyht out duplicate prints he had
made. “Whose is it? Do you hap
pen to have any note or letter from
Ruth?”
Dick could not avoid the point
blank inquiry. He pulled a little
note from his pocket. Inside the
envelope was a dainty handkerchief.
Garrick looked up wit ha question
ing smile. Dick flushed. "A note
from Ruth several weeks ago . . .”
Then he stopped. He did not need to
explain the dainty little bit of lace.
Garrick took the note and laid it
down on the table beside the print.
Then with his pencil he began not
ing the formation of letters, the capi
tals, a score of little characteristics.
'The writing is Ruth’s, all right,”
he remarked, passing both over to
Dick and at arm’s length in silence
pointing from one to the other with
the pencil.
“I think I’m' getting a line on
Ruth,” b said in a tone to reassure
JfcJick. She’s a game bird—but she
flies funny.”
Then was a pause, the concert
number was now r. solo, "Love’s Old
Sweet Song.”
Neither "id a woid. Dick was
mechanic;: 1 folding up the letter,
restoring the handkerchief in the
envelope, and handing back the
print i., Guy.
They sat for a moment as the
words, clear; tender, distinct, trans
ferred Hci tzian waves into waves of
emotion.
Suddenly ah-h-h Bizz-zz-zz-zz
Buzz-izz.-zz-zz.
A shade of annoyance passed over
Dir.,' face as if a thread of feeling
had > eon broken.
Br.zzzzzzz—dot-dash-dot-dot-dnslh.
Dick scowled. Garrick tapped the
table absent-mindedly with his fin
ger.
1 hen sii Idenly each loojced up and
caught the eyes of the other.

Room tonight. Jack.”
The dots and dashes ceased. Bzzzzz
Buzz-zz-zz. Then the solo started
again.
Garrick looked into the mirror
which gave him a reflection of Glenn
and Vira. They had got it, too. The
dots and dashes had meant only in
terruption to most in the room. To
two people they were a message; to
two others they were a mystery.
A few moment’s later, Glenn paid
.he check and the two rose to go.
Garrick hastily did the same.
“They will tell Ruth,” he nodded
to Dick as they went out. “SheTl be
there.”
In the press in the lobby they man
aged to get just back of the now
earnestly conversing couple.
"Well, if Jack’s here . . . then
Rae is, too.”
Glenn looked more troubled.
Garrick drew Dick over toward
the news stand just in time to pre
vent their being seen following.
“So Jack Curtis has come in
again,” ground out Dick.
'We’ve just simply got to hear
what is said in that PinK Room to
night,” considered Garrick, with a
glance at Dick as much as to ask,
"Are you gam •?”
Dick’s face lighted up as if a sun
ray arc had been switched on.
"My wireless dictagraph!” he ex
claimed.

Hall’s Catarrh Medicine
Those who are in a “run down” condi
tion will notice that Catarrh bothers
them much more than when they are in
good health. This fact proves that while
Catarrh is a local disease, it is greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions.
HALL'S CATARRH MEDICINE is a
Tonic and Blood Purifier, and acts through
the blood upon the mucous surfaces of
the body, thus reducing the inflammation
and restoring normal conditions.

felt better, and neglected it awhile, but
found I could not do my work until I
