United States naval board to investigate
and report his findings on the invention Of

welcomed by the inventor and his daugh-
ter, Cleo. On the trial trip OF the inven-
tors boat, q Japanese helper is surprised
In the act of examining the mechanism
Of the Ventilating device. Hope reports
faVorably on the new device but there are
others interested in it. An attempt to
hurglarize Doctor Burke's laboratory fails,
but later Cleo finds him murdered in his
bedroom Cleo sells her fathers library
to get money; later she finds a note from
which she learns that the books contain
the secret formula. With Hope she races

nerves shattered by the long strain
they had been under, was sebbing ST
lently on Hopes shoulder.
Don't cry, dear. It's going to turn
out all right" he whispered, with an
attempt at reinsurance he was far
from feeling.
There goes old Dawson now" Hope
heard someone remark.

ping the man On the shoulder.
1T is was the curt answer, "but
I've no time to bother with reporters
now. You can say that 1 am fully Gov
cred by insurance"
I'm glad to hear that you were in
sured,'' said Hope, "but I'm not a re-
porter. 1 am Lieutenant Hope of the
navy, and I want only a few minutes
OF your time. I wish to inquire about
matter in which the government is
deeply interested"
well, we can't talk in this crowd,
said Dawson, none too cordially Sup
pose we step over to that cigar store
on the corner. Now, let's have
your questions quickly, lieutenant, for
I've lots of things waiting to be seen
to-"
81 believe" began Hope, that you
sold at auction today some books
which were sent you last week by Miss
Burke of Valdavia. Can you give
me" but he got no further.
"Merciful heaveni" shouted Dawson,
''how many more times must I be
pestered about those cursed books
How do I know that you're a naval
officer, anyway"
You needn't get excited, Mr.. Daw-
son." said Hope soothingly. This will
prove to you that 1 am neither crook
nor a faker," and he drew frcm his
pocketbook his letter Of instructions
from the navy department.
