fewer fastenings the better, for this

The one illustrated here shows an
attractive and effective use of strip

belt are of white piQue or linen, and
the dress is Of blue striped percale.
There is fulness without bulk, and
the arrangement of the pockets is
most unusual and can be copied on
the dress for other occasions. Made
of wool materials, serge, gabardine

sign would compete with the smart

reached Ravengar's Ledge in the South
Atlantic, the very place that he had
sought unsuccessfully on his expedi-
ton. AS he read the journal which he
had taken from the skeleton hand of
the dead Joseph Dexter, whose body
he had found, one of the giant squids
that infest those waters had perceived
him and, stretching forth a tentacle
had drawn him under the waves.

Jerry's hand came in contact with
the sharp flank of rock. He grasped
it and chung there. The octopus, hold
ing him about the body, dragged at
him with a force that seemed about to
pull his arm from the socket.
Jerry held on. He knew that If he
released his hold the devil fish would
drag him into deep water, and that
would mean certain death. Linking
his arm about the rock, he managed
to draw his knife from his belt and be
gan to slash furiously at the leathery
arm that gripped him.
Just as his arm was about to break
from the socket he succeeded In sew
ering the tentacle. But before he
could rise to the surface a second
tentacle shot forth out of the black
fluid and grasped him. And the furi
Gus struggle began once more.
A second time Jerry succeeded in
cutting the tentacle. A third tentacls
grasped him. With the last use of his
strength Jerry managed to cut the

And Leontinc knew that her chance
OF saving Jerry's name had vanished
forevermore. She sank down in her
chair and buried her face In her hands.
A gentle touch upon Leontine's
shoulder reused her. Ravengar stood
before her. She felt no surprise. Since
the beginning of her misfortunes Raw
engar had always appeared to comfort
her at crucial moments.
There was Just enough absolute
black left to enable me to obtain this
confession" said Ravengar, laying
down the paper which Sebastian had
signed.
Leontine picked ii up and read. 1t
contained almost a complete resume Of
Sebastians life from the moment of
his first crime. "The receipt that con-
victed Jerry Carson of forgery and

paid One-Lamp Louie a thousand dol
lars to forge the signature. Mine is
the guilt for all, and may this free the
memory of Jerry Carson from the
stain that unjustly rests upon it,"
Leontine's eyes filled with tears.
She raised her head and looked at
Ravengar. And a cry escaped her.
She knew! She had been on the
verge of the discovery before, bur it
had been too incredible, and she had
forced the knowledge down deep be-
meath the level of her consciousness.
Now she knew.

emotion. He leveled his revolver again
and placed his finger upon the trigger.
Leontine stood confronting him. The
sight of the man had aroused her cOur-
age, restored her contempt for him.
And as she faced him, Sebastian
could not pull the trigger.
He had loved her once, and the
thought of sending her to instant death
was surprisingly difficult one. His
glance wavered. 1t lit upon one of
the rose bushes.
Outlined dimly against this he saw
a vision of the electric chair. Beside
it stood the ghosts of the men whom
he had murdered. Last of the line
was Whitley, whose still warm body
lay almost at his feet. They looked
at him steadily out of their shadowy
eyes. And Sebastian, shuddering,
turned and ran at full speed through
the bushes.
He heard the cries of the pursuers
behind him, but made his way along
the narrow trail that led toward the
precipitous rocks along the river bank,
confident that at the bend of the path
he could evade them among the trees.

tian knew every inch of it.
lie heard the cries become fainter.
He breathed more freely. And as he
ran he fumbled with his revolver.
Then curses broke from his lips. He
had exhausted the chambers, and he
had dropped the remaining cartridges
from his pocket when he was crawling
along the ground behind the rose
bushes.
And his pursuers were drawing clos
er. He painted with terror as he ran,
keeping them just about the same dis
lance behind him. Turning his head
at the bend, he sawsthe foremost about
three hundred yards away. There
was no chance of gaining the thickets
unobserved.
Suddenly he perceived Jerry stand
ing in the middle Of the path facing
him. With a yell, Sebastian hurled
himself at the figure. He stumbled
through vacancy and pitched forward
to the ground. When he arose he saw
the knocking hallucinatien in front of
him again, reckoning to by-path that
ran down toward the river.
He glanced back. The police were
closer, and there was only about a

FIFTEENTH EPISODE,
The Final Chapter.

In his hlding-place in his country
house Sebastian Navarro sat crouched
over the fire, hunted fugitive.
In terror of his life, dependent upon
the good faith of Whitley, his sole re-
manning henchman, and doubtful OF
him, Sebastian was in no enviable
mood. And as he covered, dreading
the future and shuddering at the sound
of every automobile that passed along
the road, he was living again in his
past.
One crime had led to another, and
yet Sebastian tried to convince him
self that he was not by nature evil.
He saw himself upon his fathers es-
tate in the Argentine, heir to vast
wealth, and happy, until he had seen
and loved Leontine.
She was engaged to Jerry Carson,
and Sebastian had resolved that she
should be his. When he believed that
Jerry had died on his mad expedition
to the lonely South Atlantic ledge, he
had forged document designed TO set
Leontine against her lover. 1t was a
receipt for three thousand dollars, with
Jerry's signature, the sum 10 be re-
paid one month after Jerry's marriage.
Sebastian had never expected that
Jerry would return. When Re came
home Sebastian had accused him of
forgery and of completely in his broth
er's death. Jerry had been sent to the
prison hulks for life, and had died
there.
And still Sebastian had thought him.
self only the victim of unhappy cir
cumstances.
Leontine had become nominally Sc
bastian's wife. He had not sought TO
win her love. He had been faithless to
her. And then had followed crime
after crime.
Sebastian saw the dead faces of the
victims of his treachery. He saw One
Lamp Louie, the little thief, staring at
him reproachfully. He saw Blanca,
blown to pieces in the dynamite explo-
sion at the shack. He saw the man
whom he had shot on the roof in his
Wild, successful effort to escape JUS
tice
And still he thought that he was not
a bad man and cursed his predicament.
In his own quarters above, Whitley
Wang was counting a roll of bills and
smiling. The crook took letter from
his pocket and began to read. AS he
read, his smile broadened.
Herewith inclosed," he read, find
the money promised for divulging the
hiding place of my husband, Sebastian
Navarro. You have done service to
the state and to the cause of justice"
The letter was signed by Leontine
What had made Whitley smile was
first, the money; secondly, the idea
that he had done q service to the
state.

impending betrayal was acting upon

her father.
Since that date everything that Wal
colt had touched had turned into gold.
The couple had departed for the Unit
ed States. That had been three years
before, and Leontine's letters had
grown fewer and scantier. She had
not had the heart to write, and after
two years they ceased altogether.
John Walcott's conscience had re-
preached him more and more bitterly
of late. And presently vague rumors,
from some intangible source, came
floating into the Argentine. Walcott

seen him in the room at Porto Delgado,
beside his brothers body.
Sebastian took a step toward him,
cried out, and tried to shield his face
from the vision.
"Who are your he muttered. ut

Jerry smiled at him coldly. "If you

Sebastian hesitated thea rushed to
the window. But the sight that he saw
there was more terrifying. Outside
the gates Of the estate he saw an au-

hundred PAGES between them. They
were crying to him to stop. But Sebas-
tan ran on with the courage of des-
pair. Again he saw Jerry, and so real
the figure seemed, and so awful it's
accusing face, that Sebastian Obeyed
its mandate and ran, without thinking,
down the bypath.
Suddenly he saw the river ahead of
him and realized what he had done.
He had taken the road that led to de-
struetion, to the edge of the vertical
cliff formed by landslide two years
before.
On the brink Of the cliff Sebastian
pulled himself up. His pursuers were
fifty PAGES behind. They had seen his
dilemma. They yelled with triumph
at the end Of the pursuit. For there
was no escape of any kind for Sebas-
tian.
The accusing, hooking form of Jer-
ry, which had fioated before him, van
ished. Sebastian realized too late that
his overweight brain had led him to
his doom. And with that realization
he resolved to play the game of life
to worthy end.
He waved his hand toward the fore

putting, ten feet from him, covering
him with his revolver. Surrender
The games upw he cried.
Sebastian, executing an ironic bow,
leaped into space. The Mortified watch
ers saw his body whirl in the air.
There followed, long seconds after,
the faintest thud on the rocks below.
Leaning over the cliffs edge they
saw the mangled remnants Of what
had been Sebastian Navarro strewing
the rocks and giving sport to the
whirling torrent, which pulled at them,
and, at last, gaining their prey, bore 1t
down the swift stream toward the
sea.
