ascended, and it was only after repeat ed circlings that Morton was able to effect a landing on the mesa, which was none too spacious for the purpose even under the most favorable wealth CT conditions.
 "There's the cabin" he said, point. ing, after he had helped Olga to alight but l don't see any sign of the girl She must be inside. We'll go over and give her a surprise party"
 Tt will be a surprise party for her if she remains stubborn" remarked the Russian woman significantly "A hot iron, properly applied, is a wonder full incentive for making people talk. saw it used on a soldier once, in the fortress of Peter and Paul. He was a brave man, but it made a baby of him."
 Though her tone made even the cal louS Morton vince, he made no com ment, but led the way across the mesa. Pushing his way through the bushes that fringed the chasm, he stopped abruptly at sight of the basket swing ing from the cable, where Hope had left it.
 What the devil does this mean?" he calculated. q unlocked the basket before I left and hid it in the bushes. Someone must have been here"
 q fancy it means" remarked Olga dryly, that your bird has flown.
 "Impossiblew asserted Morton. "She could no more escape from that ledge without assistance than she could escape from the moon. And there was no way in which she could get word to anyone"
 There's nothing to be gained by standing here and arguing about it. said Olga acidly. Suppose we go across and see if she's still there"
 After you then" said Morton. "The basket waits, my lady"
 "Thank you, no," she replied. "Af- ter you. I'm taking no chances of hav- ing you maroon me on the ledge the way you claim to have marooned the Burke girl. You'll go first if you please, my friend"
 "You seem to be obsessed with sus- picions of my motives, dear countess, I" sneered Morton, but anything to please" Stepping into the basket, he slid across, whereupon Olga hauled it back and crossed In her turn. Togeth-

nOthin', no-account old sailor, but when your paw died, Miss Cleo, I sez to myself, sez I, Doctor Burke took care O you when you wuz down and out, Hook Barnacle, and now he's gone it's up to you to look after his daugh- ter I ain't made very good gar deen, Miss Cleo, but I done the best I knew how"
 Standing on tiptoe, so that her lips were level with Hopes ear, Cleo whis- pered something to him. Then, with flaming face, she fled from the cabin. "She says Hook" said Hope, that if we ever have boy his middle name shall be Barnacle.'
 The book which contained the key to the code being too bulky to be car ried easily, Hope contented himself with cutting off that portion of the book which contained the annotation.
 q ought to leave some word for this fellow Patten, he remarked. Its hardly fair to cut up his book and not let him know who did it."
 So he scrawled in pencil on the in- side of the front cover:
 MT. Patten-I have taken the lib- erty of cutting out a message which 1 found in this book. If you will con- municate with me at the Shaftsbury hotel, Santa Eulalia, I shall be glad to reimburse you.
 JARVIS HOPE
 Now" he remarked, i've must be starting. We have three or four hours of hard walking ahead of us and we must be out of the mountains before it gets dark"
 Though Mahlin's aX-strokes had ma terially weakened the cable, it was still strong enough to support one per son at a time, Cleo, Hook, and Hope making the passage across the chasm in the basket in turn. Then, turning their backs on the spot where they had found so much peril and so much of happiness, they set out on the long and arduous trip down the mountains.
 About the time that the three were leaving the cabin on the ledge, Morton and Olga were preparing to visit the mountains in the aeroplane. And Olga was by no means a welcome pas senger.
 'T think that I'll fly up to the mesa this afternoon and have a talk with the Burke girl" Morton had careless

ly remarked She's been fin the cabin three days now and ] fancy that by this time she won't be uite so stub born."
 And I think that I will go with you," Olga had rejoined. "I can get more out of the girl than you can
 Nonsense" said Morton. "You don't want to go along. It's no trip for a woman. It's nasty place to land up there on the mesa. There's no use in taking unnecessary risks"
 I'll take any risks that you will, 3 said Olga decisively. "G have already said that I am going th you"
 And l say that ,u're not" said Morton angrily. The last thing in the world that he desired was to have Olga present during his interview with Cleo for he knew that were the Rus sian woman to suspect his scheme of forcing Cleo to marry him she was quite capable of making things very unpleasant indeed. And his fears were fully justified by her next re- mark
 You will either take me with you, she told him, "or l shall inform the police of some of your recent aetivi- ties. 1 fancy that were it known that you are the kidnaper of the Burke girl for whom everyone is searching you would be lucky to escape with your 1 life. They're a hot-headed people these Californians, and they don't take kindly to having their women stolen Come, come, my friend. You can't put it over on me, as you Amer jeans say. You're much too anxious 10 see the girl alone. You will find it dangerous business to try any double-dealing with me"
 "Come along, then he snarled making the best of the situation, fo1 he was perfectly aware that, were he to persist in his refusal, Olga would make good her threat.
 Morton had been telling the litera truth when he asserted that the flight to the mesa was hazardous one, foi the stiff north wind that had sprung up added materially to the dangers ot flying over mountainous region Twice they were nearly capsized by the treacherous air currents which unexpectedly swept up at them from the canyons, and it was only Morton's skill as an aviator that saved them The wind increased in velocity as they

TENTH INSTALlMENT

Again Mahlin's ax rose and fell; again it bit through strand of wire; again the tight-stretched cable sang and quivered. Hope, half way across the chasm now, and literally dangling between earth and sky, realized his peril Yet he was helpless. So grad ual was the incline of the cable that his progress was comparatively slow. He knew that before he could reach the opposite cliff Mahlin would have done his work and he would go plung- ing downward to meet his end on the rocks below A thousand thoughts flashed through his mind. Cleo, marooned on the ledge and dying of starvation. the secret of the submarine lost to America forever. He shut his eyes and his lips moved in prayer. In another moment it would all be over. For a third time the ax swung upward and then a shot rang out A bullet spat- tered against rock within a foot of Mahlin. He whirled about and as he did so a second bullet tore through his coat. Running across the mesa, huge navy revolver in his hand, came Hook, firing as he ran. Even as Mahlin looked another bullet sang by his head, whereupon he dropped his ax and ran.
 An instant later Hope reached the opposite bank. Swinging himself onto the ledge, he ran to where Cleo was lying in heap. His danger and the perils through which she had passed had been too much for her; she had tainted. Lifting her limp and slender form, he bore her into the cabin and laid her tenderly upon the bunk.
 Cleo! Darlingi' he whispered brokenly. "Speak to me. It's Jarvis"
 Slowly consciousness returned. Her bosom rose and fell. A tinge of color

Bird of Mystery.

One of the most curious and inter- esting of the unsolved problems relati ing to bird migration is connected with the chimney swift, more often called the chimney swallow" a very common and well-known bird of the eastern United States. After the breeding sea- son the fiocks drift slowly south and concentrate in vast numbers on the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Then they disappear as completely as if they hibernated under the water or in the mud, according to the old belief regarding birds in general The last week in March they appear again on tho Gulf coast. Their hiding place dur ing the intervening five months Is still the swifts secret.

 stopped only long enough to riff
 Hopes pockets, taking from them hit pocketbook, his papers, and the piee> of the book-eover containing the ke. to the code. Straight down the noun tain slope the chase led, over rocks in and out of gullies, through under brush and streams. Sometimes Cles was out of sight of her pursuers some times they were only few yards be hind. But she was young and strong and terror lent her wings, and sh, would have made her escape had her flight not been abruptly halted by deep gulch which formed a Assure iu the earth at right angles to the course she was pursuing On the edge of il she stopped, trembling. Though the opposite bank of the gulch, which was comparatively narrow, was not too steep to scale, the side on which she stood fell away so precipitously that it was impossible for her to chamber down it. and, as it was a half hun. dred feet to the bottom, to drop was equally out of the question. Like a hunted animal she glanced about her. Her retreat was cut off by Mahlin and Satsuma, who were rapidly approach. ing. She must act quickly if she was to escape their clutches. All at once she spied a great tree, veritable mon. arch of the forest, which was growing from the bank on which she stood at such an angle that it partially over. hung the gulch. Hanging from the tree was a wild grapevine of extraor. dinary length and thickness-the larg. est. in fact, that she had ever seen. It was as thick as an inch rope Why, then, would it not serve as a rope on which she could swing to safety? Pull ing on the hanging vine, she found that it was firmly anchored and that it was apparently strong enough to bear her weight It was q hazardous plan, she knew the chances were all in fa- vor of the vine breaking and of her be- 1 ing dashed upon the rocks below. Buf such fate was better. far better, she felt, than to be at the mercy of the human fiends who were closing in on her. Jerking the vine free of the trunk, she grasped it firmly with both hands, as. when a child, she had grasped the swingrope in the school playground. Stepping well back so as to get the impetus of a run, she sped forward and just as she felt the touch of Mahlin's outstretched hand, her feet spurned the earth and she swung out into space like human pendulum.

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 state of per lection. On the trial trip of the inven- tors boat Japanese helper is surprised in the act of examining the mechanism. Hope reports favorably on the new device but there are others interested in it. An attempt to burglarize Doctor Burke s laboratory fails but later his daughter Cleo finds him murdered in his bedroom. Cleo sells her fathers books to get money later she finds a note from which she learns that they contain the secret for nula.z Olga Ivanoff and Gerald Morton, two spies in search of the formula, at tempt to capture Cleo when she comes for the books to Stephanskt, the anareh- at him but the bullet hits a bomb, in the cellar, which explodes. Hope and Cleo escape and attend ball at Mrs. Delmar's. whose nephew has two of the missing books. Mahlin, a spy, attempts to steal the books; in the excitement that follows the books disappear. Mahlin escapes: Hope and Cleo take boat for an island out in the bay. The conspirators follow in other boats. Mahlin and the Jap turn out the island light. Morton's boat with the countess strikes a stray mine in the bay. After a violent storm Hope and Cleo arrive on strange island and dis cover that the man they hunt Is there, But Mahlin and the Japanese also reach the island nd, and put up fight ao for or the turn and dynamite the shack The con spirators fail to harm Hope and Cleo. They manage to reach Sandsboro, where Doctor Owen has one of the books. Each of the others approach the doctor, but he refuses to hear them. He arranges to meet Hope at the hotel with the book.
