ak and then everything went
black thought you had been
killed"
Hook saved me-" he answered,
"just as you tainted, darling"
''Thank God % she whispered. IF
if anything had happened, Jarvis,
should have thrown myself over the
cliff after you. Without you life
would not be worth living"
Now he was on his knees beside the
bunk.
do you care for me as much as
that, dear hearth he asked wonder
ingly.
81 care for you more than all the
world" she answered simply.
you are all the world to me-" he
whispered tenderly, as he drew her
close. 81 have loved you since the
first time I saw you, that afternoon
in your fathers garden"
'It was love at sight for me, too,
Jarvis"
''Will you marry me, Cleo?"
Eyes" she breathed, so softly that
he could barely hear her, and her
arms stole round his neck. Their lips
met and for long moment there was
no sound.
Held tightly in Hopes arms, her
head pillOwed upon his shoulder, Cleo
related her adventures. She told of
being seized while stroIling in the out
skirts of Santa Eulalia and dragged
into a car and chloroformed; of find
ing herself in the cabin on the ledge
with Morton, and of his attempt to
force her into marrying him.
''The cadr" exploded Hope, clench-
ing his fists. 1.-THE dirty cur! I wish
I could get my hands on him! One of
these days I'll make him pay for his
treatment of you, my darling"
81 knew that you would come for
me, of course" Cleo continued, "but
I was afraid that you might come too
late. had made up my mind that if
he returned and attempted to so much
as lay a finger on me that I would
kill myself. Oh, Jarvis, Jar
visi" she cried, shuddering, you came
just in time, my dear"
you must never think of it again
| dear heart" he said soothingly. 1.-THE
danger is over now and you're safe in
my arms.'*
''They say that every cloud has a sill
yer lining-that out of evil good shall
come" said Cleo, turned suddenly
from grave to gay. $50, if that aw
full man hadn't kidnapped me and
brought me here, I should never have
discovered this!'' and she triumphant
| " held up the book that she had found
in the cupboard.
Hope fairly snatched it from heI
| hand.
"YOu don't mean to say" he almost
! shouted in his excitement, that you've
| actually found the formula-here, in
this deserted cabin?'
81 haven't found the formula itself. u
she answered, but I've found where
| the formula is" and she showed him
the inscription in her fathers hand
writing on the inside of the back
cover.
Philosophy he read slowly.
Page siXty-one; every seventh word.
1t can mean only one thing, of course.
It means that if we will read every
seventh word on page sixty-one of
! some work Of philosophy we will have
the formula of your fathers inven-
ton. But the question is, which phil
Osophy? There must be hundreds of
works on the subject Can you re-
| member, Cleo, if there was a work on
philosophy among your fathers
books?"
ST think there was" she said after
a moments reflection. Yes, am GER
tain of it. Daddy would sometimes
read aloud from it in the evenings.
But haven't the least idea what its
title was or who wrote it"
''Then I'm afraid that We still have
long search ahead of US. There are
still books for us to trace; the phil
osophy may be the last one that we
find"
'Tve more good news for you" said
Cleo. 81 noticed that this work on
metallurgy is in two volumes, and, as
felt sure that Mr.. Patten must have
bought them both, searched the cab
in and discovered the other volume
lying under the bunk. There is moth
ing in it, though; I've gone through
it carefully. had plenty of time foI
reading here" she added, laughing.
"You poor child" said Hope, kissing
her upturned lips, sit makes me shud-
der to think OF the periIs through
which you have passed"
cit has been worth all the perils
dear" Cleo answered softly, because
| they have given me you. Now that
we have each other don't care if we
never find the secret of the subma,
rine"
Again there fell silence in the
cabin.
| ''Pm afraid we must be going, sweet
heart" said Hope at last, ''or Hook
will think that something has hap
pened to US. We've kept the poor ole
fellow waiting over there for nearly
an hour. And he saved my life, too
