Adams had gone down to find the
mines laid by the Silent Menace.
Without sign OF warning helmet

hanging on to the gunwale Of Pearls

fired twice In quick succession; but
his aim was unsteady and missed the
mark. and he dropped back into the
water and sank when she returned his
fire with a similar weapon.

her doubts returning. Pearl immedi-
ately severed the oxygen tube. She re-
gretted this act the moment 1t was
committed and, hardly knowing what
she was about, dove overheard to the
rescue.
Both she and Adams were equipped
with waterproof electric torches. She
flashed hers while sinking. To her
CONSERVATION two torches flashed back
and she saw two men far below en-.
gagged In mortal combat.
"Heaven forgive meW she cried to
herself. ut was not Adams! He Is
not the Silent Menace!"
A moment later she was In the
midst of the fray desperately fighting

Thirteenth EPISODE
Modern Buccaneers,

The first person In the Dare house
hold to note the prolonged absence Of
its mistress was Miss Bertha Bonn.
She had seen Pearl leave the house
alone and wondered little as to what
mission would entiee her forth at that
late hour. She had also seen Orderly
Adams leave the garage and walk
away In an opposite direction at pre-
clsely the same time.
After while Bertha telephoned to
the war department and informed Col
Onel Dare that neither his daughter nor
his orderly had returned and hinted
that she thought this to be very
strange. The colonel seemed to find
nothing unusual In Pearls absence,
and he suggested that she might have
sent Adams on some errand on which
he was delayed. He told Miss Bonn
to allay her fears.
But Bertha did not heed this sugges.
tion. She telephoned to Major Thorn
ton Brent at the barracks ard asked
for Adams. Brent told her that Adams
was not at the barracks and inquired
If anything was amiss at the Dares.
Bertha hesitated little. Nothing,
probably. Suppose you come here.
am alone and wish to talk with you"
Brent Immediately suspected that
Bertha had personal motive In max
Ing this suggestion. "Wlll tomorrow
not do as welli It Is very late"
"You will come at once" responded
Bertha with finality, hanging up the
receiver before he could again evade or
refuse.
Brent replaced his receiver on its
hook and departed for the Dares very
much annoyed. He found Bertha ner-
vously pacing the lawn.
"Where Is Adams, Major Brentr
asked Bertha, eying Brent steadily as
he drew near.
Il don't know" Brent responded with
truth. Don't you really know?"
II do not" replied Bertha, testify.
Toxic flashed into their thoughts.
Adjourning to the house they tele-
phoned to the hospital and inquired
whether either Miss Dare or Adams
was with the sick chauffeur. They
were told that both had left the hos
pital about eight o'clock and that neith-
er had returned. Toko's condition,
they were informed, had not changed
for better or worse.
Miss Bonn and the major left the
telephone and sat down on the front
porch to await the return Of Colonel
Dare.
The neighborhood, always a quiet
one, was hushed In repose.
Brent pinched the ends Of his NOUS
tache nervously and stified yawn after
yawn.

remarked after long interval.

"Tm thinking the same thing" she
returned In low tones.
She ceased her rocking movement
and leaning forward closely scrutinized
Brent. At that moment there was
nothing debonair about the major. he
looked exactly as ne felt: worn, weary,
worried.
