"Because," quickened Garrick, "It is the one plage, they know, contains the apparatus to ferret them out and catch them! At Glenn's they waited for Dr. Darling to "run over from Stony Brook to dress his wounds again. "You must, fellows; I need your moral support," begged Glenn. "He'll glve me the devil." "Now, Dick, hook up that busi ness you brought along. I've got the fever, too, a passion for pulling information down out of the alr, like the prestidigitators do with golde pleces." Dick busied himself about the tele phone for some time, then set up his , recelving set. "It's a sort of wired wireless," he explained, "based on a discovery, In- vented and perfected by a regular Shark at this thing, Major Geaeral Squier." "Another Dick. "From Vira--and Ruth?" bright. ered Glenn, Dick shook his head. "Guy--it's that fellow again--K 902--he's over At Mount Sinal--here, take this other earpiece." "It's just this, Glenn." retailed Garrick when he wus su.e that no more news was being spied, "that fellow, Devins, in the K.902 was crulsing down the Sound with his eyés open when he saw what he thought was the 'Sea Vamp' In the inlet at Mount Sinal, where they used to load the old wood packets In the old days. As he got nearer he could make out with his glass that they were transferring stuff from the houseboat to a scout cruiser up alongside." Glenn nodded. "It was our float- ing storehouse, the 'Sea Vamp'." "Well, as he got nearer, he made out through his glass what looked like two men struggling with a message!" interrupted DICK SET UP HIS RECEIVING SET. had written. "On the Baochante, headed down the Sound toward the Ocean. I hear the men talk of Fire Island. This is Ruth--" "That's where it broke off," half apologized McKay. Dick pecea up and down the work. shop floor. Finally he lifted a trap door and climbed down to the former boathouse below, "lI guess you remember enough to look over those pontoons?" he called to Garrick, waving toward the hydroaeroplane. "What's the jdea?™ "I'm tuning up. I wasn't quite ready to exhibit the Defoe radioplane --but, hang #8 ali--the 'Bacchunte' must be found--with Ruth!" CHAPTER XII I'LL TELL THE WORLD! ARRICK spread the net far and wide to Intercept the "Bac- chante." Within a few minutes he had the Radio Central, the New York police wireless station, all the big private broadcasting stations, even Defoe's apparatus in the boat- house sending out periodical signals of alarm. He had turned the radio world veritably upside down in the search.

"Don't you see?' explained Vira, talking fast as she poured out what "The Jig was up for the they wanted was to make a clean get-away, take all the Jewelry and the money. They walted until the last minute to get fifty thousand for the Inmer Circle and the other stuff. But it failed. Then the only thing that remained was to get &way--with Ruth--the ten-million dollar heiress, as they speak of her .-, "You know, the 'Bacch inte' had been taking the stuff off rum-run. ners.

Vira's eves were restlessly glanc- Ing through the window down the Suddenly her face beamed. "Glenn's coming! I hear his engine. { Oh, boy!" Out of the room she flew. Vira and Glenn came up the road. The story was repeated. Dick re turned to his radioplane; Garrick to sifting crank reports of the where abouts of the fast scout cruiser. "Vira," sald Glenn ardently, the moment they were alone, "I won't take 'No' this time--nor even 'Wait'," Vira blushed. "Just as soon as we get Ruthie." "Here's the first report that I place any confidence in," shouted Garrick in a tone that could be heard all over the boathouse. "It's from a freighter--just off Seaville-- sighted a boat answering the descrip- tion of the 'Bacchante' putting into the Great South Bay," "That checks up with Ruth's Fire Island message!" called Dick "from below. "The 'Bacchante' must have rounded the Island. 1 guess she could; she's fast enough." "How's the work coming on, Dick?" shouted Garrick, all energy now with the first wireless clue. "It'll be twilight in an hour. Cana you hurry it up?" "All ready now. I've been all dressed up with nowhere to go for fifteen minutes!" called back Dick from below. The flight to Seaville was only a matter of minutes for there was ne time to lose before darkness. At Seaville a hasty survey dis closed no sign of the "Bacchante" but there was a tremerdous crowd down on a bulkhead and they could see them waving and hear their shouts, Dick brought the radlogiune down to the water and a couple of small motor boats put out. "We've got that Curtis. and the Larue girll" shéiited a man with a big brass star of the local police force on his chest. Dick glanced at Garrick. "Anchor here. We must take the time. We must give ther the third degree."
