 Cleo shook her head vigorously, which was her only means of saying that she did not know it.

 Morton lifted Cleo, who was limp from terror, in his arms, and, de- seending through the trapdoor, laid her on the earthen floor of the cellar in the darkness.
 Ascending, he closed the trapdoor and Stephanski pulled the carpet into place Then the three stood silent, awaiting the expected knock on the door. But no knock came. Hook. whose taxicab they had heard outside, suddenly, without any definite reason. had become suspicious.
 T reckon Cleo ain't got here yet, after all" he muttered to himself. Before she gets here I guess I'll do a little scouting on my own account Suiting the action to the words, he tiptoed silently around the house.

From somewhere behind the door came low moaning.

Being old and rusted it yielded easily. He si- lently swung back the door, and eau. tiously feeling his way, descended into the darkness of the cellar.
 While Hook was occupied in effect ing a burglarious entry into the eel lar Hope arrived. AS he sprang from his car he was startled by a scream from somewhere within the house.
 Good Gedln he cried, that sounds like Clee,n and, dashing up the path. he hammered at the door. But the only answer was another frenzied shriek, filled with woman's frantic terror. Cleo, rolling over until she lay

 Help! Help! Helpt" she cried.
 She was answered by crash as Hook burst his way into the cellar.

 AS he spoke there came from up. stairs the sound of splintering wood as the front door gave way before Hopes frenzied assaults. AS he burst into the living room he was confront ed by Stephanski.

 As she hissed the last words the curtains were torn aside and Hope stood in the opening. Olga saw that the muzzle of the pistol almost touched the others breast; she saw Morton's finger tighten on the trigger.

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 Valdayia 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 1avorably on the new device but there are others interested in it. An attempt to ourglarize Doctor Burkes laboratory fails, but later Cleo finds him murdered in his bedroom Cleo sells her fathers library to get money; later she finds a note from which she learns that the books contain the secret formula With Hope she races to the auctioneer's store only to find 1t in flames.

FOURTH INSTALLMENT

Overcome by despondency, Cleo, Hope and Hook stood staring at the heap of smoking debris which, few minutes before, had been Dawson's auction rooms. In that blazing pyre had perished all their hopes of recov- ering the lost formula. Cleo, her nerves shattered by the long strain they had been under, was sobbing si- iently on Hopes shoulder.
 Don't cry, dear. It's going to turn out all right" he whispered, with an attempt at reassurance he was far from feeling.
 There goes old Dawson now" Hope heard someone remark.
 .'Is this MT. Dawson?" he asked. tap ping the man on the shoulder.
 .slt is" was the curt answer, but I've no time to bother with reporters ROW. You can say that am fully coy cred by insurance.
 I'm glad to hear that you were in Eured.' said Hope. but I'm not re- porter. 1 am Lieutenant Hope of the navy, and I want only a few minutes of your time. I wish to inquire about a matter in which the government is deeply interested
 Well, VIC cant talk in this crowd" :" said Dawson, none too cordially. Sup pose we step over to that cigar store on the corner. Now, let's have your questions quickly, lieutenant, for I've lots of things waiting to be seen to"
 'I believe" began Hope. that you sold at auction today some books which were sent you last week by Miss Burke of yaldavia. Can you give me" but he got no further
 "Merciful heaven!" shouted Dawson, how many more times must I be pestered about those cursed books? How do I know that you're naval officer, anyway"
 You needn't get excited, MT. Daw- son. said Hope soothingly. This will prove to you that am neither a crook nor faker," and he drew from his pocketbook his letter of instructions from the navy department.
 T beg your pardon for having spo- ken so hastily, MT. Hope," said the auctioneer, apologetieally, as he saw the coat-of-arms on the letterhead, but you must remember that my place of business has just burned down and that you are the fourth person within the last hour who has asked me for the names of those who pur- chased the Burke books"
 What you say astounds me-" Hope replied. This is Miss Burke, who sent you the books" he added, as Cleo and Hook joined them. This is a matter, MT. Dawson, in which both Miss Burke and the government of the United States are vitally con- cerned. Now, tell me, who were these people who asked you for the list of those who bought the books? What did they look like?"
 ''I can't tell you their names,' was the answer Tt never occurred to me to ask.
 T will be quite frank with you, MT. Dawson" said Hope In one of those books which you sold today is hidden Q certain formula which cur govern

 But he was suddenly interrupted by shout from Dawson.
 There he is There he is, That s the fellow who called on me last" he cried excitedly, pointing through the eigar-store window "Seei Across the street there! The fellow just getting on a motorcycle!"
 By the living lingo, if it ain't Sat suma," roared Hook. Just let me get a-holt of the skunk" and he rushed Cleo, the former as he ran thrusting into his pocket the sheet from Daw- sons ledger.
 Dodging through the crowd with amazing agility considering his bulk Hook would have caught Satsuma had he not tripped on length of ffrehose and gone sprawling. Satsuma, his at. tention attracted by the jeers and laughter of the onlookers, turned, 1ec- ognized the prostrate and cursing sea- man and, getting his motor cycle start ed at that moment, shot down the oli GU eillu od Ouuu SOi ner
 Quick" called Hope; jump into my car and we'll try to overtake him, T but by the time they rounded the cor ner the Japanese was lost to sight amid the press of traffic.
 There's no use in trying to catch him in this crowd" said Hope, slow ing down the car Its evident that that story of his having shipped on a beat for South America was all fake. We had better inform the police that he is in the city. But the first and most important thing for us to do is to make straight for 14S5 Edgemere road and have a look at the book bought by this man Stephanski."
 
 When Olga Ivanoff left the Dawson auction rooms with the list which, by her simple ruse, she had obtained so easily, she directed the driver of her taxieab to take her to the Portola Arms, where she had an apartment. Thirty minutes later, having removed

ment is extremely anxious to obtain. It is no exaggeration to say that, were it to fall into the hands of another government, it might mean the differ ence between peace and war. The formula was the invention of Doctor Burke, Miss Burke's father, and for her it's loss means the difference be- tween poverty and comfort Now that you understand how important it is, MT. Dawson, are you able to recall the names of any of those who bought the books?"
 T can do better than that was the astounding answer, T can give you all the names"
 "What?" Hope almost shouted in his joy, T supposed your records were lost in the fire?"
 So they were said Dawson, frank ly enjoying the effect which his recital was producing. "but after three peo- pie had asked for that list concluded that there was some hocus-pocus go- ing on, so, just before I locked up for the night, detached the sheet con- taining the list of names from the loose-leaf ledger and slipped it in my pocket, intending to spend the evening making a few inquiries. Here it is.'
 Thank God." Hope exclaimed fer vently, fairly snatching the sheet from Dawscn's hand. Cleo did not say any thing, but the look Of gratitude she flashed the auctioneer with her beau tiful eyes caused him to redden with qualification and embarrassment. Hook let out yell that could be heard a block. "Whoop, Wow." he beloved. "Who-o-o- -ooop-e-e-e! It's all right now, Miss Cleo. We'll git the secret O the submarine after all'
 Hope, wasting no time in words, was hastily copying the list of names on the back of an envelope. The first name was:
