Something over one-sixth of the entire
work on the building program of the
Emergency Flest Corporation has been

ed to the Senate commerce committee
yesterday afternoon by Admiral F. t
Bowles. manager OF the construction
DIVISION OF the corporation. The chart
was placed before the comgittee at the
close of the second days investigation
of the shipping board and Emergency

Admiral Bowles explained that he did
not consider the statement of this fact
as in any way divulging military secrets.
He declined to give in public state
ment as to how many ships were to be
turned out in January, February, or
any given time. He will lay these mat
ters before the committee in executive

 Tt will be time to talk of your re- ward when you have obtained me the secret" she answered. You had best return to Valdavia and get to work at once-tonight."
 If the secret is to be had, Olga" he said, holding her hand in both of his, T will get 1t for you-no matter what the cost"
 
 Two days after the struggle in the submarine, Gerald Morton reached Val david. He went to see Burke.
 Doctor Burke" began Morton, when they were seated in the inven- tors study, 'I have been sent here by my uncle. Calvin Montgomery"
 Calvin Montgomery" calculated Burke, and Morton saw his face sud denly blanch. Calvin Montgomery is an old friend-I have not heard from him for many years. Rut-but what does he want of me?"
 He wishes to obtain an option on your submarine invention, Doctor Burke, said Morton, on whom the in- ventor's expression of momentary alarm had not been lost. Should 1t pass the tests to which he would nat urally wish to put it, he desires me to say that he would be willing to pay you very handsomely for your rights very handsomely, indeed"
 T appreciate your uncle's offer, MT. Morton" was the reply. but I cannot accept it. In fact I have already promised my invention to the govern ment of the United States"
 We will pay you far more than the government, Doctor Burke" urged Morton, and the government is no- toriously slow pay"
 ''The government already has my promise" said the inventor. firmly.
 Then we cannot obtain the op- tion?"
 Tt is out of the question, as I have already told you"
 Before you make your decision final, Doctor Burke" said Morton, talk ing from his pocketbook the card which Calvin Montgomery had given him, you had better read this"
 Burke adjusted his spectacles. Dear Ralph" he read, T once gave you

 For some minutes the inventor sat silent, lost in thought. It was evident that the message on the card had deep ly stirred him. At last he spoke: This message places me in most difficult position, MT. Norton he said "I must have time to think it over. You had better see me again in a few days"
 AS the inventor was ushering his caller to the door, Cleo Burke came tripping down the stairs. The broad brimmed sun hat that she wore ac- centuated the spun-gold quality of her hair and the rose-leaf beauty of her complexion; the simple gown of cling ing muslin emphasized her girlish slenderness.

 "Mr. Morton" said Burke, this is my daughter Cleo"
 I'm delighted to meet you. Miss he was thinking Cleo? Cleo? Now where the devil have I heard that name before? By the living lingo, I remember, It was the name used by Uncle Calvin when overheard him talking to himself the day I left New York"
 "If you're going to the town, Miss Burke" said Morton, noting that she was evidently dressed for the street may I have the honor of walking with you? I am staying at the hotel"
 "Of course you may come with me if you like" said Cleo. obviously enjoy ing the attention of the handsome stranger.
 Tell me, Miss Burke" he said as he was leaving her, "do you know a man named Calvin Montgomery"
 Why. mo-" said Cleo, "I never heard the name before"

 Though the police started their search for Satsuma within an hour aft CT the submarine returned to shore with the body of the murdered sea man, they had failed to find the slight est trace of the Japanese.
 Late in the afternoon of the second day after the fight in the submarine, a man might have been observed strolling aimlessly along the beach outside the town. He behaved like one who had no definite objective and was walking to kill time, for he stopped every now and then to toss pebbles into the water or with his cane to trace patterns in the sand. So slow was his progress that dark ness was falling when he found him. self opposite tumbledown and desert ed fisherman's hut which stood by It. self on the beach, five miles from the town. Glancing about to make cer- tain that he was unobserved, he knocked sharply on the rickety door four short raps, then three. two. one moment later there was a sound as of plank lifted within the cabin.

 It's not wise to show a light" said Satsuma's voice in the darkness. "It might possibly be noticed by someone passing on the beach,"
 Heres some food for you" said the man called Mahlin. producing various packages from the pockets of his ccat. "The police have been so busy that didn't dare take the chance of coming here before. You certainly got your self into one hell of a scrape What did you learn about the inventfon?"
 q had a good look at the apparatus" said Satsuma. Tn fact the old man caught me examining it. That was when the shooting began. The mech anism is comparatively simple The real secret is in some formula which Burke uses, but which, of course, was unable to find"
 Mahlin uttered an oath. We've got to find it." he exclaimed You had better have a look through Burke's house tonight. It's probably among the papers in his laboratory"
 Its not safe for me to go out to- night" said the Japanese sullenly. 'I'll run into some of the detectives.

l had better wait until the search for me has had time to die down."
 You'll go when I tell you to, my oriental friend" said Mahlin sayagely. and that's tonight I've got to have that formula and I've got to have it quick. There are too many after it already
 Its not safe to go out tonight" Satsuma persisted stubbornly.

I've got the goods on you, my friend. and don't you for get it. It would look nice to see a former officer of the Imperial Nip ponese navy hanged for murder at San Quentin, wouldn't it?"
 Because he was accustomed to work far into the night, and in order that he might not disturb Cleo. who slept upstairs. Doctor Burke occupied a ground-fioor bedroom which communi- cated with is laboratory. Despite his age, the faculties of the inventor were unimpaired. so that when. in the si- lent hours that precede the dawn, a dim figure pried up the window open- ing on the veranda, Burke, always a light sleeper, was instantly awakened. For some minutes he sat upright in bed. intently listening, but as the cnt,y7d nI ha that he had been mistaken. Just as he started to settle back, however, he heard distinctly, on the uncarpeted floor of the laboratory, the sound of cautious footsteps. Slipping noiseless- v out of bed, he wrapped himself in dressing gown and slid his feet into pair of slippers. Then. holding back the knob so that the latch could not click he silently opened the door lead ing into the laboratory Bending over the desk stood a man holding an cleo tric torch. The circle of light which |. cast showed that he was hastily but systematically going through the in- ventor's papers.
 What are you doing there?" called Burke sharply. Instantly the light was extinguished and the room was plunged in sudden darkness. Burke, i whose years had not sapped his cour- age, advanced into the room. There was a batter of quick footsteps. the sound of heavy blow, and the old man sank to the floor without groan. For e long moment the intruder stood

SECOND lNSTALLMENT.

Death stared them in the face. Through the open hatchway the sea was pouring in a torrent. For those in the submarine the erd was but a matter of seconds. Already the water was at their knees. Again Hope at tempted to close the hatch-coyer, but the force of the inrushing water hurled him pack. He might as well have tried to cap gerser The water was at their waist. The navigating officer, beads of sweat glistening on his forehead, franticaliy manipulated his horizontal rudders in the hope that the boat would rise. But it did not respond. Suddenly Cleo, plunging through the swirling waters, reached the lever which controlled the cover of the hatch. She grasped it with both hands. She drew herself up until her whole weight was upon it, as gymnast raises himself upon a hori- zontal bar. It yielded The incoming stream of water lessened-stopped Burke's automatic device had worked. The cover of the hatch was closed.

 Half carrying, half dragging Cleo, he waded through the water to the after compartment. Burke was bend ing over his apparatus.
 Anything wrong. doctor?" asked Hope. Then he caught side of the water in the glass tank. It had stopped bubbling
