"A boat. Looks like one of those scout cruisers built for the government during the war." "It's mutographic, you see. The name, 'The Baccbante' is written under it, and the date." "Oh yes. But by whom? Whose writing is that?" | "Never mind that now. What is | that shore line? Do yeu recognize | it? Take my glass." Dick studied it intently and mi. nutely for some minutes. "I think | - + . it looks like Greenport Har. bor." { "That was what I thought. 1 wanted your opinion. . Now look at | the next one." | "Why -- that's Brock -- at the | wheel!" | "Here's another, of a party-- | Glenn, Ruth, Vira--" | "And that other girl is Rae Larue. | That fellow in back is Jack Curtis." | Garrick stowed the girl's hat the films away in a chest. { "Well, what's next?" asked Dick. | "I suppose they'll all be at the ciub | tonight at that Subscription Dance--" { Garrick nodded silence. He was calling Greenport where he had a friend, a boat builder, "Seems that she's a mystery ship --on mystery cruises," he frowned as he turned to Dick from the tele- | phones. "They Know her out thers, | all right. But ne one out there | seems to know who owns her. She | slips out on these mysterious cruises, | then back just ax unexpectedly-- then away again, From the descrip. tion I'd say that Brock often handles her as captain. There's nearly al. ways some of that crowd of young folks on her, too; sometimes a party. My friend says he will telephone if the 'Bacchante' comes in. - She went out yesterday." It was after dinner and a little ab- sent-minded knocking about of the billiard balis alone, that Garrick was recalled to the matter in hand by the penetrating tuning up of the orchestra in the ball room, He was endeavoring to select a quiet corner where he couid watch when three girls, arm in arm, in light shimmery summer frocks saun- tered across the lawn and up the steps. "Oh, Guy." Ruth, nearest, He turned. It was with Vira on the | other end and a piquant little, bob- | bed-haired, snappy-eyed, lithe, ani. mated girl between them. "We've been talking about you--and Rae | not find Ruth, wants so much to meet you." Ruth and eyes he stumbled in the hall-| and I thought I knew you were-- Rae had that sometimes fatal sift of flattery, a way of leading a man on to talk about himself and of ap- pearing to be exclusively interested in his tastes and pastimes. Guy stu- died her as she devoted her entire at- tention to him te the exclusion of her companions, Was she attrac. tive because she was so young; or | was it because she had had so much experience in being young? From his life at the Club they were soon far a-field leaping lightly to the visit to the "Sea Vamp," then ever west- ward, like an explorer, to the city, the shows, the hotels, the night lite. Was she questing to see Just how far the galety of this debonaire, sophistj- cated club-man took him? For his putposes Garrick conveyed the im- pression that the only limits known to him were the sky and the horizon. | Somehow, however, he had a feeling that this much what she wanted to know; though for the lite of him he hadn't quite figured out yet what that was. Far down the porch Vira caught sight of Glenn and had no intention of playing the lay figure longer. Girls and feliows were passing and with a nudge at Ruth, Vira broke up the party and the three continued down toward the ball room, leaving Gar- rick te figure it all out, especially Ruth, who, the moment they were gone, seemed to resume leadership. Dick had been sauntering alone about the Club, speaking a few words to friends loliing in wicker chairs, nodding to others, when he heard the noisy entrance of a group of young people. i "Ruth," he sald as he drew her aside with eager deference, "may 1 have all the waltzes this evening?" She hesitated, looked at him a bit shyly, shrugged one Beautiful shoul. der as If debating whether to say yes, then smiled: "Dick--you're a fast worker! I believe you bribed the this minute! my wrap up. second." There was one waltz when he could He hunted ail over, Bhe was not dancing: ner on the veranda. Nod did he see Jack Cur. tis, Rae, Vira or Glenn, "Fire!" The orchestra hesitated at the sharp alarm of the club steward, then decided it was not Ikea the ater, that there was no panic dan- ger, dropped its, fiddles and saxo phones and snare drums and ran. A moment later the shrill siren whistle on the village power house split the other. : Dick joined in the jostling mod in evening clothes. "Guess we'll make a de luxe buck- et 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 dis- may. On the third floor were Gar rick's rooms. A moment later he was bounding up the stairs and had flung his shoul- der against the door. It did not yleld--until he turned the knob. It was unlocked. Through the stifle of smoke he fought his way to the chest and flung it open, The hat and the fiims were gone! The suffocating fumes of ¢hemical extinguishers sent him blindly strug: gling, groping, gasping, back. Out. side he could hear the bells and the shouts of the local fire fighters.

The shipbuilder himself joined them, - "Take that former submarine pa- trol boat," winked Garrick to him. "That's a fast craft, capable of go- ing anywhere. What might a boat { like that cost, If you could pick one up?™ The builder caught 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 them. Vario was a thick-set man with a shock of hair and bushy eyebrows, His manner was the manner of a scientist but his sun.bronzed skin showed intimate acquaintance with the outdoors. Dick, who had known him quite well, soon discovered that he was on a little vacation, his family hav. ing 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 on the blink, So I thought of the Professor here and he agreed to come over and look it over. It there's anything wrong, he'll get it i right." The skiff had come alongside by | this time. "Say, partner," inquired | the builder of Curtis. "You seem to {| know my customers, here.

At Manbaset 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 did not take Garrick long to find an excuse for ome of his hasty surveys of the cabin. As usual, as if by instinct, 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: "5-22.22 260 cases 8. 8. ARROYO. CKGG." looked up and whispered quickly. "Smuggling from Latin. American ships?" Garrick did not even answer, His forefinger was traveling down a list of calis pasted in the front of the book: "CKGGG The Inner Circle, **W,. 49th St." "E-yah!" growly a thickly Norwe-. gian voice as the navigator poked is head in. "Snooping--eh? I show!" He blew sharply on a whistle from his pocket. (Continued in Our Next Issue) A et ce AAA ring Sot AT CAMDEN EAST berries in this district.
