REEVE CHAPTER VIII, ALTERNATING AFFECTIONS. Tt was late when Dick finished re- tailing the conversation on which he bad listened in over the wireless die• tngraph, Nevertheless Garrick insisted on crossing the Park and dropping in at the Usonia. On the register, freshly blotted, he rend: Miss. Ruth Walden, Norowantue, L, 1. Mins Vira Gerard, Nonowantuc, Lt L Garrick turned into a telephone booth and rang up Nita Walden, "1'11 wager Ruth doesn't sleep much tonight," be said. "The thought of you and the wrecked car and the mess sheds inwill keep her awake. We'll stop in for you—early." It was not much after seven when Garrick, Dick and NIS's. Walden rode up in the Usonia elevator. As the door clanged shut, Mrs. Walden mo tioned Garrick back with a nod. In her haste and nervousness she nearly stumbled to the door of Ruth's room, She rapped but did not wait for Ruth to open, for the door 5515 not locked. "Mumsey!" Withou, a second's hesi- tation Ruth ran to her mother. There was no reprimanding Nita Walden felt . my joy to have recovered what she thought might. have been lost. She took Ruth's pretty face ,ovingly in her hands and looked in- tensely into the beautiful blue depths. Mother love and trust were trying to drown suspicion. "Ruth—is everything all right with you?" IIer bold on Ruth tightened. • "How could I cvet' co anything , with a Aiumsy like you?" There was that in Ruth's eyes that told of inno- 'eence. in .spite of her wild love of excitement. "Don't worre, Mfrs. Walden," chim- ed in Vira, "Iter only companions last night were a bottle of Omicron Oiland niy greasy fingers doing a Ina S5aging act." Vira answered, a knock at the door. • It was Garrick and Dick. Ruth looked up. surprised. "Iiow did you know I was here?" "Dick's invented a wireless mind reader. d.ore will find a way." Gar - little fatherly advice. "And," with his still serious smile, "be --bo careful!" Glenn called to take Vira to the country and the four motored back to Mrs. Walden's apartment. "Mother, we'll go out to the Club together"' said Ruth, "I'm going to put on my swankiest gown—and get the drop on those old gossips out there --sweep 'em off their ears. Just watch 'net" A bell -boy opened the hall door and set down a beautiful basket of roses, Ruth's face sank in the flowers, She drew a card out of the basket and threw it on the table. "Mummy; see what Jack Curtis sent me. Isn't be thoughtful? They are my favorite shade. Mrs. Walden locked none. too pleased. Back in Garrick's roosts Dick was scowling at the dictagraph as he re- called what he had overheard last night between Jack and Ruth. Garrick picked up the headpiece. "You know, I never really saw this thing wok, What was the matter with it last night?" "Someone jammed in on the sons wave length. I cant sec yet hoiv^---" fir "The wilder you are, the more I want to have you. rick answered with a twinkle as he looked from Ruth to Dick. "Ruth , .. if you only knew the relief I feel at seeing you again! I was afraid you had been hurt or some. thing, If you could only have seen me you'll ]snow what you mean to me. licit so sorry- for your mother, Ruth. Please be a little careful for her sake," Dick had taken her hand and for- gotten to let it go. 11111)1 looked at hire and away and approved of the holding. "I'11 have to let go, Ruth, or , . , Somebody must have slipped 0 powder or vial in my food or coffee, like they did • in the old days—hang it, they don't heed love philtres in these days when they make 'em, as wonderful as you! Confound it, the wilder you are, • the mere I want to have you to. , . . Ruth, dear, lean over; I watt to whis- per something." Ruth leaned over. "I dove you" --and to light, ,.urreptitious kiss on the ear, "Ruth,": Garrick spoke, and took Ruth over to the window, leaning down to talk to her. All that Dick caught was a fragment, "—and the estate—the income of ten million dol- lars, next month—when you are eighteen—" 1n a manner 00 one else could irritate, Garrick was giving a ") ou'll go to ,jail fJc oris!„ Ruth aghast. No one else had got in al word and she had had it word With every person on the porch, had made them feel that they were each her particular friend and had been let in on the whole secret. She hadn't given anyone a chance to ask a question and had told only just what she wanted and no more, just as if it had been the whole story to the whole crowd, It was perhaps an hour or two later in rho afternoon when the big story had become ancient history, a mere nine minutes' wonder, that Ruth be- ga nto feel lonesome. With no car, it was almost as bad as no leg's, its if in answer to a prayer, Jack swept up with a flurry in his crimson chummy ear. The conversation wafted merrily to the new chummy car, "Wouldn't you like to try the new boiler?" asked Jack, "Would I? Run are over to Merri- hew's garage. I want to see that wrecked boat of my own. Non won't mind, Mummy—for n little while?" "Did you get my newel's, Ruth?" "They were beautiful. How did you know my favorites?" He edged over under the wheel near- er her. Ruth wailed at him. Suddenly he leaned over to steal a kiss. It went wrong tied fell on her ear. Somehow Ruth was glad it wasn't the one Dick had kissed. But the next moment she had given Jack's hand a little squeeze in return. In the late afternoon Curtis drew up at the Binnacle, a queer old place furnished like the cabin of an old clipper ship. There was a wireless at the Binnacle and it broadcnsted music, 'Teal" ordered Jack, turning from !tuth toward the waiter. "Two? Yes, sir." The waiter winked. Jack leaned over, "Going to see what that wink San'aut," Ito whispered to Ruth as he followed the waiter out. A moment and he returned, "Name's Merman. He's all right," he explaiiecd, A few 'mouton lata Merman ap- peer'ed with cocktail.sein ten cups. "Here's looking at--" Ruth end Curtis had the cups bal- anced, natty to taste. "Don't!" Ruth looked at him surprised, • "Why?" "It's a drug—ether—something--" Ile turned quickly toward the waiter, rose, seized hint by the shoulder, swung him around. Then he reached into the waiter's waistcoat pocket Red drew out a little vial, "You'll go to jail for this, Herman!" "Planted on ate!" "That's what they all say!" The screen door of the porch swung open, and Professor Vario strode in. Ile had evidently heard the whole thing on the other -,ide of the thick boxwood hedge. Before anyone could say a word he seized the vial, smelled it, then smelled the two cups. "That's all aphrodisiac—a love po- tion." He turned,totfard Curtis.

"Be eareftill Don't ycu know that last night they overheard--" There was a muffled whisper, a man's voice, but it was lost. '1t was evidently a cannon. "That's a partial explanation of why your dictagraph went bad last night, Dick," commented Garrick, "Someone's hunting now for the trans- h)mittel'," Dick looked at Garrick and Garrick et Dick. Here they were, powerless to stop it. Dick grabbed one of the earpieces.
