Dick had been sauntering ,alone about the Club) speakistg a few words to friends lolling in wicker chairs, nodding to others, when he heard the noisy entrance of a group of young people. Dick Defoe was the quieter type of man, undoubtedly destined to make any reasonably normal girl happy. A. gracious, if reserved, manner seemed to announce 'to' the world his reserve strength of character, if trouble brewed. He quickened his pace. as he saw Ruth, His face lighted up with one of his charming smiles. Ruth was talking vivaciously to the girls when she sud- denly caught Dick's smile wad answer- ed it, "Ruth," he said as he drew her aside with eager deference, "may I have all the waltzes this evening?" 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, glowing all over. Ile was going to hold her close to hits, he was going to breathe the perfume of her golden hair, he was going to waltz, a dreamy and enticing waltz with the girl ever whom he was frantic. Then he heard some one 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 I' don't want to dance with a freshie I do this anu we're not off!" Jack had tangled himself with his own legs or else it was an adder. pressure -as in Greek wrestling. He was on the floor while the other fellows were laughing and Ruth, smiling, hauled him up. "Did I keep you waiting long, Diek? I love this one." Dick tingled with joy as he waltzed off `' the dreamy strains, It was half over when Dick felt him- self pushed aside and heard Jack's voice, ingratiating, "May I cut in on this? We all do that now!" Dick swallowed. "I'll leave it to Ruth." Ruth's only answer was a gentle pres- sure of his arm, a negative nod in Jack's direction—and she was dream- ing again. There was something so comfortable being held closely to Dick. There was .one waltz when he could not find Ruth. He hunted all over. She was not dancing; nor on the ver- andah. Nor did he see Jack Curtis, Rae, Vire or Glenn. CHAPTER IV. "Fire!„ The orchestra hesitated et the sharp alarm of the club stward, then decided it was not like a theatre, that there was no panic danger, dropped its fid- dles and saxophones and snare• drums and ran. A moment later the shrill siren whistle on the village power house split the ether. Dick joined in the jostling mob in evening clothes. "Guess well make a de luxe bucket brigade!" panted Tony Bleecker, "It's the East Wing!" Up the corner of the Lodge back of the Club casino, where were the living rooms, licked a hungry red shaft of flame. Dick looked in dismay. On the third floor were Garrick's rooms. A moment later he was bounding up the stairs and had flung his shoulder against the door. It did not yield— until he turned the knob. It was un- locked. Through the stifle of smoke he fought his way to the chest and flung it open. The hat and the films were genet 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. Handkerchief crushed over his nose and eyes, he stumbled in the hallway , . . "Don't get up, Dick. You'll stay here with me tonight." In a daze.Dick felt A quiet wind is string in the ttrees, Soon to be silent, and the birds are still. And silence comes upon the shore and seas, And in the valley and along the hill; And, like a child upon a loving breast, Earth nestles down to rest. This is the hour of evening, when the toil Of day is done with, and the weary song nf!a1nIII1(III1Dll➢!mlR4 Sheets under him and over bun, "They've given hie rooms in the West Wing until repairs are made," explain- ed Garriok. Dick blinked around, his eyaS Stili stinging and his head in a whirl. i'Wh-who did it?" he gasped. "Who got—the things?" Garrick smiled quietly, "I don't know who got the prints I made. The film itself and the hat were in the Club safe half an hour after you left this afternoon!" 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, Garriok deeply affected 'ay the impulsive devo- tion of his friend the night before, Dick still living over the. dance. "She rides on an even keel—for a boat with such a nanlel" exclaimed Garrick as they stood on a dock in his friend's shipyard observing .the "Bacchante," "Splendid lines!" enthused Dick,, "What I'm most interested in is what I believe must be a very efficient wireless on her," muttered Garrick. A shall boat had put out from her and was rowing toward the shipyard: The shipbuilder himself joined them, "Take that former submarine patrol' boat," winked Garrick to him, "That's a fast craft, capable of going any- where. What might a boat like that cost, if you could pick one up?" The builder eaugbt the cue. They were, deep in designs and prices when Dick suddenly interrupted at the ap- proach of -two men from the street to the. town. "Professor Vario . . . and, by jove,.Jack!" . The four stood talking boats as the skiff with a sailor neared thein. Varig was a thickset mat with a shock of hair and bushy eyebrows. His manner was the manner of a scientist' but his sun -bronzed skin showed, intimate ac- quaintance 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 wire- less was c n, the blink. So I thought of the Professor here and he agreel to come over and look it over. 11 there's anything 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. If I row then out would you mind if they took a look at the boat?" Then, aside, "I think I can make a sale—maybe get an order to build." Dick nodded ungraciously and the two -skiffs set out. It was perhaps an hour, or even more, that Varig buried himself in the cabin, going over everything from. aerial to headgear, testing vacuum tubes, getting a fine adjustment on the variable condenser. The air fairly reeked with talk of tuning coils, trans- formers, variocoupiors and variomet- ers, rheostats and regenerative sets, the merits and demerits of nearly every controv6rsial piece of apparatus known to radio. It- was to be expected,; thought Garrick, with a practical matt like Vario meeting up with Dick, of the inventive mind. In fact he was pleased. The second, hour was lengthening when Varig had the apparatus work- ing properly. Curtis, who • had spent most of the time in the little pilot house going over some.eharts with the navigator, rejoined them. "Sappose you're going back to your cottage, Professor, not to Rook Ledge yet?" he asked, then turned, unbend- it g a bit, to Garrick and Dick. "Like to take a little run over to Shelter Island with us and baca while we take the Professor home?" The shipbuilder excused himself and dropped down into his sldff and the "Bacchante" was cutting across soon at a great clip, as if proud to show her paces. 0 At Manhaset Curtis decided to land with Professor Vario, to be picked up later, and the scout boat swung about to land Garrick and Dick back to Greenport. ' It ella not take Garrick long to find :.n excuse for one of kis hasty surveys of the cabin. As usual, as if by in- stinct, he put his finger on the spot. It was a slip of paper tucked in what passed for a log book, He passed it to Dick: "6-22-22 210 cases 5. S. ARROYO. 01(00," Dick looked up and whispered quick- ly, "Smugglinb from Latin-American ships?" Garlick did not even answer.

In a sue'.ion dredger an enormous metal proeeller drivesthe liquid mud on the river -bed up a large pipe to the surface, where `lie water is drained off and the mud deposited in a barge. Altogether the dredgers are raising 20,000 tons of earth a day from the bed of the river Test, while ,iho`her 1.000 tens a day are excavat- ed from the works on land. Also 700 tons of chalk are brought daily. from the Hampshire D..wns at Micheldever. Even et this rate it is expected to take at least two years to complete the fill- ing-in of the bay. But this super extension scheme will mean sometitine far more than a num- ber of new docks along the sea front. Indeed, a modern new suburb will be Added to Southampton. This will nec- essitate the laying of sewers, water- mains, gaspipes, drains, and Bp on, and • for this purpose alone .a firm has a maltreat for the manufacture of over Iwo miles of rock cement pipes of seven feet inside diameter. These enormous pipes are being made' in short sections close at hand, so that it will be quite simple to place them together as 50051 as they are wanted. In the manufac- tur. of huge monoliths and other shore -side worths, 1,000 tons of con- crete, involving the use of 120 tons of Portland cement, are handled each day. Altogether about 1,000 men are employed on the works. This stupendous scheme will benefit Southampton cdnsiderobly. As it is it possesses the largest floating dock in the world, and being the nearest and most convenient port to Loncjon, for Atlantic paiasengers, it harbors the world's Largest liners; and should the time new 1,000 -foot liners which the Cunard and White Star companies are talking of materialize, Southampton will be the world's largest seaport. Compulsory Arbitration L'Evenement (Quebec) : Montreal's experience during the period of the strike of milk distributors has led The Semeur to propose that arbitra tion should, be made compulsory .in all conflicts which expose the people to grave perils. When public health and property are menacedas the result of social ,conflicts ,it is es- sential that the authorities should in., tervene in the interest of public safe- ty. The review we have cited above submits that there are strikes which are absolutely unmoral, and indicates that among these, in addition to strikes of those who supply foodstuffs for the community, those of firemen and police. In our opinion it is per tiuent to suggest to the public an thprities that they should intervene at any and every time to prevent a suicidal strike.
