In| about the time that it might have ! taken to tell it Garrick and Dick | found themselves flung overboard in the open of Greenport Harbor with the tide running strong out of Pe-| concic Bay into Gardner's Bay. Only a couple of athlefes would ever have found themselves again on shore, wet and dripping, strip. Ping off what was left of thelr clothes and hanging them on the ribs of an old wreck to dry in the blazing sun after the tough battle in the water. "Well," chortled Garrick as they sat on the deserted sand naked and exhausted, "we had nothing on when We came into this world . . . but they've got something on us now!" Dick laughed and looked over at Guy. Garrick wes a man after his own heart. "As we used to say at Upton, "Where do we go from here?' " Garrick rolled over on 'his back end stretched as the sun boiled out salt water that had puckered his | skin, "Squaring the 'Inner Circle!" he replied tersely as if it were all in the day's work, CHAPTER IV THE INNER CIRCLE EY caught the afternoon train |& for the city. eSauntering slowly down Forty. Ninth Street, they found the address of the Inner Circle, a big old brown: stone house midway in the block west of the Avenue, back of a high fron fence with plain brass knobs setting off the sections. Heavy grilled 'doors opened into an English | ba t. Two or three smart mo- tors were drawn up along the curb, "Recherche!" nodded Dick, hesitat. ing a bit. Garrick turned in at the gate and | pressed a button by the side of the doors. "Aren't I select enough for the Inner Circle?" He straightened with true British swank. The door swung open. Garrick in. quired nothing, explained nothing, He inclined alightly toward Dick to | precedes him and they passed the | Americanized butler, It had been a | magnificent gesture on Garrick's part. The most difficult thing had been accomplished on sheer nerve. He might have owned the place as he led the way up tife short fight of stairs from the former basement. "Monsieur Georges--as I live!" Garrick grasped the hand of a thick-set, erect, very dark French. man with a black, pointed mustache, He had been standing just at the head of the stairs. "Ah-h! It is Monsieur the Ad- miral!" The Frenchman grinned pleasantly, displaying rows of splen. did teeth. Indeed he seemed in fine trim, " . Before them opened a little alcove reception room. Garrick paced on into it, followed by Georges, and in- troduced Dick. "You must know Moneteur, Dick, who made the old Chateau Rouge up by Tarrytown so wonderful in the old days?" Georges motioned them to q little table, clapped his hands sharply and & walter appeared on rubber heels, took an order and they settled them. selves, 'Now for the mystery of the dancing men," whispered Garrick to Dick just as Georges turned. There was just a shade of contempt In Garrick's tone of ralliery. At a glance he ha ken an estimate of e place. As nearly as Garrlk could make it out, M. Georges was making an ex. cellent thing out of the revolt against reform. In a lull of the conversation and above the soft Hawaiian strains floated new voloes from a table out. laid It gently over her dainty ankle. "Honest to God, Vira, I love you!" Then he ndded ferventiy, "I want to get you in my racer, soon, and we'll moter out to some nice quiet spot, Itke Canoe Place used to be . , , and I'm going to tell you all about it. Will you let me tell you + 3 o bow much I love you?" "Dear boy, I'm ust dying to go on that ride with you." Her eyes were sparkling like dew drops on a green leaf in the morning sun. Vira knew it, meant them to sparkle. At a lower level she would have reasoned, how could one get over dramatic mo- ments on the streen unless one lived them? As it was she merely felt. "Make it tomorrow, Vira." Glenn took her hands and toyed with the ring finger on the left hand. "Well, you dumbbells! laughed Rae, suddenly poking her pretty pl: | quant face around the corner. "What are you doing, Vira? Rehearsing a Scene on Glenn? You're not falling for it, are you, old dear?" With a shrug of her shoulders and her arms akimbo, she threw her head Wack and laughed silvery.* Quickly lean. ing her beautiful body forward she waved a mocking finger toward 'vy M.

Georges had been called away from Garrick and Dick to some of bis multitudtnous business in pleas. Ing the ultra particular, They strained their ears, "I was just up there." Then a breek. "And it came in over Pinkey's wireless from . . ." It was lost. "It sald, Watch out for Garrick and Dick . . . They got ashore . To New York . . . Get them out of the way for good." Garrick and Dick glances. "Forewarned, whispered Dick. "Our forearms are about all we've got, too!" There was a swish of someone passing their door and along the hall, Dick started. It was Ruth herself! Both he and Garrick were on thajr feet in @ moment, quietly, down the hall after her and around a heavy carved newell post up the stairs to the second floor, * She turned as she heard their steps in the wide hall on the second floor. "And along came Ruth!" exclaimed Garrick, smiling. "What are you boys doing here? Snooping again? It's a bad Idea. Snoopers never come to any good end!" She laughed, but neither could be 80 obtuse as not to see that there was a kick In it. "Walt here a minute. Does any- body know you are here?" "No one but Georges."

It was noticeable that she was discreetly quiet, "Of course, I can't show you eround up here, You see, | these are the lodgings of about half a dozen members and, believe me, [they pay.

Ruth turned, opened another door and disclosed a stairwiy down into the cellar, in which a light was burning. She started down and the door closed behind them. "Strike a match--if you want to see some good stuff!" Dick 'struck a light. But as he did so a rush of alr ex. | tinguished it and back of them | clangea the iron door. There was a grinding of a bolt, "Confound it!" growled Garrick at letting himself be trapped. A gong began ringing, stridently, It seemed as if the very floor on which they were was moving. There | was a metallic noise overhead. Gar. | rick looked up. It seemed as if the | earth was opening above them and a glaring light pouring In. | He ran his hand up alongside and |over his head. There was a heavy iron bow, U.shaped but inverted. They were rising. The top of the U seemed to be parting iron doors on either side. | "Hank it!" growled Garrick. "The | ash fe!" | Up the little elevator rose, the bell | still ringing to warn passersby on | the sidewalk, up, to the street level, | then stop, Back of m was the iron gril of the Inner Circle. Dick looked at the fence, then at Guy and laughed | %eolishly. They stepped off the lift. | Blowly the platform began to sink and as it did the pair of folding iron doors closed down again over the U, Just as they clanged shut there came a voice merrily from the deptha, "You can't slide down 'my cellar door!" CHAPTER V MUSIC IN THE AIR | HE next morning was rainy, damp and gloomy. Garrick and Dick had breakfasted and were dis. | cussing the events of the day before.

Stretching out in his chair, raising his arms slowly above his head, he yawned and was about to deliver himself of some sage observa- tion on life in general and the case in particular when the telephone rang. "Hang it, what's this? Dick, old man?" Dick's mind and body were both glert. He had breakfasted with a Answer It, This is CKGG. Do ILY 'BRITISH WHIG. PROBABLY THE ONE * "Now let me see!
