"So many amateurs." explained Vario, "have difficulty in finding the wave length of the broadcasting stations that I have concluded that some simplo method of tuning and calibrating the set would clear things up, especially for tho?o who are some distance away from the sending stations. They have weak signals to begin with and must listen in on very nearly the proper tune if they are to get any signals at ajl." "I see." nodded Dick. "For that purpose a wave meter is needed. It's to the radio what a pitch pipe Is to a piano tuner." "Yes. Mino is simply a calibrated, oscillating circuit and is one of the simplest circuits to build."

And dad, back in hiß office, warns them: "Watch out for automobiles!" valvemeter phones, and general hook-up. In town Garrlck called up Nlta Waiden at her apartments on Park Avenue. Sho had got ahead of anyone elsd and had had Ruth's car towed to a garage. They stopped there a moment and Professor Vario's solkitudo for Mrs. Waiden seemed to offer (iarriek the opportunity to get rid of him, for they certainly did not want any strangers about in what they were going to do. "But the show," remonstrated Mrs. Waiden as Vario offered to stay and do anything he could to relieve her anxiety. "I'll telephone them that I'm delayed. They can postpone my stunt until later in the evening," he insisted. "And, Mrs. Waiden, don't you worry when you have two such good friends as Garrick and Dick helping. You should have seen the way they settled the porch crowd and you can count on me as a third. I may be the last but I hope not the least whero Miss Ituth's welfare is concerned." "I really appreciate your kindness deeply but of course. I want my little girl. I can't think of anything else. I can't talk over the telephone, right; I can't read; I am Just incapacitated until Ruth gets back to me." "Dick, I'll stay with Mrs. Waiden for a little while, if I may. I know she needs some help. If you want me later I'll be at the Radio Show." Garrick thanked him. then leaned over Nita Waiden. "We'll have some word tonight sure. By tomorrow you'll have her back safe." Outside he found McKay and delivered Mrs. Walden's instructions. "You are to take Profe.-'sor Vario j Show; then you may pu. the car up." Garrick had been thinking out a plan for the Installing of the dictagraph. Up the street from the Inner Circle were two houses turned into studio apartments. He found tho caretaker and the conversation was lucrative to her. Dick selected and carried up to ths roof the apparatus and they went as silently as possible across the intervening roofs until they came to the roof of the Inner Circle. It was a curious roof. In th center had been built a great concrete box as big as a room. There was no time to investigate that, however. Garrlck fished with a line down th chimney by Founding, until he located tho. flue to the Pink Room Then, dangling down, he lowered th& dictagraph transmitter until it must have hung a foot from the floor of the hearth hack of the iron grill work under the mantel below- in the Pink Room. Meanwhile, on the roof. Dick had been busy placing his sending set

It was rather j ! difficult to get the fine adjustment, i but at last he got the right wave length. He looked up at Garrick, smiled, and took the headgear off, handing it to him. "Get that?" Garrick adjusted it, listened for a moment in some perplexity, then exj claimed. "Why. I can hear the whirr j of a vacuum cleaner in the room!" made the transmitter about as sensitive a microphone as can be made. I only hope it Isn't too sensitive that it picks up through the wall what happens in the house next door." They listened in for several minutes but thero was nothing more yet. Whoever was cleaning the rom finished and left. The buzzer on Garrick's door sounded. He opened it on a crack. It was McKay. "I Just saw that Rae Larue, with a man, at the Park Garage on Sixtieth -Street, whero I put the car up." "What sortof looking man?" "I didn't know him, sir. Sort of shaggy hair " "Brock!" exclaimed Dick, who had come over. "Then Jack Curtis came in a car. He didn't stay long; went downtown; I think." Rae had been fussing with the interior of one car in the long line in the garage. She was apparently very busy but McKay noticed that nothing escaped her, no matter how slight. He had continued to watch some time. Suddenly a very rakish roadster drew up and Rae looked out of the sedan In which she was. When she saw Glenn Buckley in the roadster she Jumped out to meet him. Glenn greeted her with a sickly smile. "Well, you poor fish!" exclaimed Rae. "You must believe in ghosts. You look as though you'd seen one. What are you doing here?" "Just looking ... to see if there's anyone about." "Gee. Glenn, I'm thirsty. Lefs go down to the Inner Circle. Will you take me?" "Sure-ly Rae. Always glad to relieve a drought and be charitable to my own at the same time." Rae grabbed his arm and swung up behind the wheel. They were off. To himself Glenn had had to admit that no one could be bored in Rae's society. No wonder VIra was jealous. But he wouldn't have taken a dozen Raes for one Vira. He didn't like coarseness and sometimes Rae did not suit his fastidious nature. Vira with all her modernity, vivacity and recklessness never was coarse. McKay had gone, properly rewarded, and Garrick was pondering over what he had Just learned. "Were they the three at the Parr estate last night Rae. Brock and Jack?" He speculated aloud at length.' "But Jack could hardly have been back then." hastened Dick. "He must have been on the "Bacchante," "How about Glenn?" "Or Georges?" parried Dick. "Perhaps . . . What of Ruth? . . . Pay, Dick. I'm going to leave you here with that wireless dictagraph. You can work it best anyhow. I must gt a line on that garage ami do It right away." Down the street ln a lunchroom Garrick caught sight of McKay again and beckoned him quietly out. "I was thinking about calling you up, sir. soon." Informed MKay. "I was Just talking to one of the polishers in there. He tells mo that Jack Curtis gave orders to some driver about the place, a stranger, to go after something at eleven o'clock.

NEW YORK, Juno :, The Croix de Cinema with two palms for daring I hereby awarded L!oydHamilion for his valor in "Poor Boy." his atert two-reel comedy. Hamilton has dared to break a false tradition of the movies that has banned comedy in a church und has thereby achieved a conv.c of surpassing merit. His film by no means ridicules any creed or tho church as an institution. It centers its comedy ln those homely little situations that anyone with a sense of humor sees In church, saich as that which inspired Robert Burns to indite those memorable lines about seeing ourselves as others see it was but he give him a key, sir." McKay pointed tho fellow, a stranger, out. and Garrick reached into his pocket for his every-ready roll of bills, McKay seemed really offended. "Mr. Garrick please. I didn't feel right when you slipped me that other five spot. Mrs. Waiden nas teen so fine to me I've driven her three years and, as you might say, seen Miss Ruth grow up. Say, I believe I'd loso an arm or a leg to get this thing settled straight." Alone Garrick waited. It was now half past nine. He had an hour and a half to watch. As he did so he devolved the two robberies over and over ln his mind. Each time his thought led him to the same path. Who was the "man higher up?" Was it Jack Curtis? Or Brock? Might it not be- Georges? What, after all, did he know about Georges, since before the war and during the easy violation of selling service men that which is wet? It was nearly midnight when Garrick In what seemed like a reliable taxicab, concluded the trailing of the man who had received instructions from Curtis. He had evidently been waiting until the streets wero sufficiently deserted. Now he drew his car, a big sedan, up to the curb, leaving the engine running, but well muffled, as silent as sleeve valves could make It. Garrick dismissed his taxi at the corner and bean to reconnoitre. To his amazement he saw that he on the block where was the town house of Vira Gerard's family. It was an added shock when he saw that the car had stepped just in front of the Gerard house and that the driver had entered the gate and was fumbling with a key at the door. Garrick quickened his steps. It was now or never to gt let In on this mystery. As he turned In at the gate the man at the door heard him, looking quickly as if expecting him, then cathcing a better look uttered an oath and swung on him. Garrick parried and countered. The man went sprawling backward on the bit of turf of the little front yard. At that moment Garrick heard the clatter of feet from across the street and around the motor. nut before he could turn, tho other man was on him. bearing him down with the momentum of the rush. He was a husky but Garrlck fe'.t he could outwrestle him. The fellow sprawling on the turf swore again as he crouched up on his hands and knees, waiting to get a hold. Two were more than Garrick could handle as legs an 3 arms arm heads cut the turf, getting ever nearer the sharp pickets of the fence. (ConHnmNl in Our Next Is.suc)

The Modern Magician

BY BERTON BRALEY

The olden magicians were bearded and gray. They did all their stunts in a ponderous way. They mixed up strange potions that bubbled and smoked, And all of the spirits of wrath they invoked; They called on the devil and all his relations. They muttered dread phrases and fierce- incantations. Like "Abracadabra" and ''Allagazam." And yet. at -the finish, their magic was sham! The modern magicians ar kids In their teens, V.'ith nothing of hokum or bunk in their beans; Sme pieces of junk and a bundle of wire Aro all that these up-to-date wizards require To build you a radio set that will tap The waves that are hurtling all over tho map; They bring to you voices that throb through the air, Believe me, these boys are magicians for fair! If old Cagliostro or Merlin came back Those priests of a macic excessively black They'd find themselves humbled by sa:no freckled kid Who works m.ore enchantment than they vor .1:1; And when they returned to the wizards lone dead No one would believe even half what they said. And thin spectral laughter would follow all through Their tale cf these marvels that children can do! ( (Copyright, 192 2. NE A Service.)
