FIFTH INSTALLMENT.

The explosion of the bombs which
the old nihilist had secreted in his
cellar had literally torn the house
asunder Yet by one of those whims
which so frequently characterize the
action o. high explosives, though the
front of the house had been trans
formed into a heap of debris, the
rooms at the rear remained intact and
almost uninjured. Thus it happened
that Morton and Olga, standing be-
hind the curtain which hung at the
entrance to the dining room, though
hurled to the floor by the force of the
explosion had escaped with a few
bruises. while Stephanski, who had
been in the front room, only a few
feet away, now lay dead amid the
debris-killed by the very bombs
with which he had planned to kill
others. On the other side of the
room, half buried beneath a heap of
fallen plaster, Hope was stretched.
Morton and Olga, still screened by
the curtain behind which they had
concealed themselves when Hope
broke into the room, had scarcely re-
dumfounded to hear outside the house
the voice of Cleo-CIeo. whom they
had left bound and gagged in the eel

Now is your chance to repay me-"
Again Morton bitterly reviled himself
for his blindness, his stupidity, in not
recognizing and investigating the
mysterious relations between the
Burkes and Calvin Montgomery. Grad
uaIly, however, his shreWdness began
to assert itself. From a man raving
with rage and disappointment, he be-
came again cold. calculating, cunning,
constituencies. There was still a way
by which he could obtain possession
OF the Montgomery millions, he re-
minded himself. He could marry Cleo.
His meditations were abruptly in
terrupted, however, by a rap at the
door. He flung it open impatiently to
find messenger boy with a note The
crest on the flap of the envelope told
him that it was from Olga.

When, dressed for the reception,
Cleo stepped from the elevator into
the hotel parlor where Hope was
waiting her, he fairly gasped with
establishment, so marvellous was the
transformation which her afternoon
shopping had effected. He scarcely
recognized the unsophisticated, sim
ply dressed girl who stood curtsying
before him. Even with his inexperi-

that the gown of chiffon which she
wore was a Paris creation, and that

SYNOPSIS.

Lieut.. Jarvis Hope is detailed by the
United States naval board to investigate
and report his findings on the invention of
DR. Ralph Burke which serves to bring
the submarine to a state of perfection.
The lieutenant arrives in Valdavia and is
welcomed by the inventor and his daugh-
ter, Cleo. On the trial trip of the inven-
tors boat, a 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

but later Cleo finds him murdered in his
bedroom. Cleo sells her fathers library
to get money; later she finds a note from
which sae learns that the books contain
the secret formula. With Hope she races
to the auctioneer's store only to find it in
flames. Olga Ivanon and Gerald Morton,
two spies in search of the formula, at

said Hope as ne helped Cleo into his

Hope and Cleo were scarcely out of
sight before Satsuma, who had OBJ
served their arrival and departure
from the shelter of drug store on the
opposite side of the street, was ring
ing the door bell of the Delmar resi-
dence.

anese lanterns, swaying gently in the
night breeze, swung to and fro like
giant f1refies. Guests were strolling
on the terrace, the white shoulders of
the women and the white shirt fronts
of the men cleaning in the darkness.
Through the French windows of the
ballroom came the strains of a Hun
garian orchestra. Mrs. Delmar and
her husband, the latter a red-faced,
white-mustached Englishman, whose
dresscoat was ablaze with decorations,
received their guests at the entrance
to the ballroom.

and Morton, after making sure that
Cleo and her friends had taken their
departure, emerged from their place
of conceaIment and, leaving behind
them the ruined house and it's dead

Hopkins Eleven Reports.

Baltimore, Nd, Sept. 12-When the
Johns Hopkins football candidates gather
on Homewood Field Thursday morning
for their first workout under Coach
Henry E. Brennick, they will start to
prepare for one Of the stiffest and best
balanced schedules that the Hopkins
management has ever provided for its
gridiron warriors.
Eight games will be played, all Of them
at Homewood. This is an innovation in
the history Of local football, for in past
years the Black and Blue has made. at
least one trip during the season. How.
ever, with the large seating capacity al
Homewood and the almost perfect field
here, the authorities decided to adopt the
tactics Of the larger universities and not
to let the team play on foreign and in
fertor grounds. This plan will give the
locals an initial advantage in the games
this fall. as they will never have to
undergo the yells of a hostile crowd.
Brtckley strongly urged the adoption OF
the stay-at-hOme plan last season, and il
Is expected to give the team more con-
fidence this fall.

NAMES NOT CHANGED
At Three WEDDINGS
Marriage License Clerk Has Day of
Surprises.

Yesterday was a day full OF the un-
usual for the license clerk at City Hall
and surprises came rapidly.
Henry NJ. Simpson, 50 years old. OF
Eincennes, Ind, was granted a license
to marry Mary E. Simpson, but 10 years
Younger, of Kensington, Md. Mr.. Simp-
son, who looks much younger than his
years. said that though their names were
the same. there was no relationship and
that he was a brother of her former hus-
band.
They were married by Rev. George
Cummings, at the Gordon Memorial
Church, in Anacostia, later in the day
and left for New York on a wedding trip.
About noon Claude L. Profit and Bes-
sic L. Proffitt, both of Shores, Va, were
granted a license to marry.
Later the clerk was remarking that to
encounter a couple of the same name
now and then, was not remarkable. but
it was unusual to get two, one right
after the other-when in walked George
w. Johnson, colored, to get a license to
marry Elizabeth Johnson.
Have you got the minister's name?''
he was asked.
Yes sir!' he replied, REV. W. W
johnson"
He was given a license and the clerk
turned to another negro applicant. He
was asked his name.
Walter Johnson" he said.
Walter Johnson said he was 30 years
old and that he wanted to marry Flor.
ence Bockstead, q years old.
Before the doors were closed at 1
o'clock, Noble s. Cook, 50 years old, and
Dorothy V Wilson, %, were granted q
license. and Jessie James Meusio was
granted a permit to marry Beulah
Thompson.
