less, with extreme caution that Olga Cleo and her friends had taken their departure, emerged from their place of concealment and, leaving behind them the ruined house and it's dead owner, set out on foot by circuitous route for the city Nothing was far ther from their desire than to be seen coming from the scene of the tragedy and to be called as witnesses in the investigation which was certain to fol- low it's discovery. Day was dawning ing in the east, before Morton, hay ing seen Olga to her apartment reached his hotel, and it was nearly noon when he was awakened by some one knocking at his door. It was bellboy with a telegram. Still half awake, he tore open the envelope then stood transfxed, staring with un- believing eyes at the message printed on the sheet of yellow paper.
 "Your uncle died from heart
 failure at eleven o'clock last
 night. By his will he has left
 his entire estate to Miss Cleo
 Burke of VaIdavia, California"
 It was signed by Calvin Montgom- ery's private secretary.
 Minute after minute passed and still Morton stared at the message as though his eyes deceived him. Surely he must be dreaming. Calvin Mont gomery dead. And all of his great estate gone to Cleo Burke. And he, | Gerald Morton, his nephew. and, as he had supposed. his only heir, had received nothing. Then all at once he remembered the strange remark he had overheard his uncle make that morning in the New York office. T wonder if did right by Cleo?" Mont gomery had said aloud, as though put ting his thoughts into words, and Mor- ton recalled the old mans obvious confusion when he asked him who Cleo was. He recalled the note which his uncle had told him to give to Doctor Burke. 'I once gave you some thing that I valued as much as you value the secret of the submarine.

Now is your chance to repay me" Again Morton bitterly reviled himself for his blindness. his stupidity, in not recognizing and Investigating the mysterious relations between the Burkes and Calvin Montgomery. Grad ually, however, his shrewdness began to assert itself. From a man raving with rage and disappointment, he be- came again cold, calculating, cunning, conscienceless. There was still a way by which he could obtain possession of the Montgomery millions, he re- minded himself. He could marry Cleo.
 His meditations were abruptly in terrupted, however, by a rap at the door. He flung it open impatiently to find messenger boy with a note. The crest on the flap of the envelope told him that it was from Olga.
 Dear MT Norton" she wrote, T want you to take me to the reception which is being given this evening by Mrs Delmar, the wife of the British consuPs secretary, MT. Paget, who is an old friend of mine When remind you that Mrs. Delmar purchased two of the Burke books, you will appre- ciate the necessity for our going. I have learned from MT. Paget, by the way that the Burke girl and your friend, Hope, have also been invited. You may call for me at nine o'clock"
 
 When, dressed for the reception, Cleo stepped from the elevator into the hotel parlor where Hope was waiting her, he fairly gasped with astonishment, so marvellous was the transformation which her afternoon's shopping had effected. He scarcely recognized the unsophisticated, sim ply dressed girl who stood curtsying before him. Even with his inexperf- ence in such matters, he recognized that the gown of chiffon which she wore was a Paris creation, and that it's color. a deep purple, emphasized the milky loveliness of her neck and shoulders and her rose-leaf coloring
 Do I suit you, Jarvis?" she asked demurely.
 Do you suit me-" he repeated after her Do you suit me? Why, Cleo, you're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."
 
 The reception was in full swing when Hope and Cleo reached the Del

mar residence. Light streamed from every window. In the gardens Jap anese lanterns, swaying gently in the night breeze, swung to and fro like giant firefies. Guests were strolling on the terrace, the white shoulders of the women and the white shirt fronts of the men gleaming in the darkness. Through the French windows of the ballroom came the strains of a Hun garian orchestra. Mrs. Delmar and her husband, the latter a red-faced, white-mustached Englishman, whose dresscoat was ablaze with decorations, received their guests at the entrance to the ballroom.
 ''I'm delighted that you've come, my dear" said Mrs. Delmar to Cleo. And how bewitchingly lovely you look. Your gown is a perfect dream. I do hope you will both have a good time. And I didn't forget about the books. As soon as you left this morning telephoned to my nephew at Palo Alto and he promised to bring them up with him. He ought to be here at any moment"
 She beckoned to the servant stand ing at the front door.
 My nephew, MT. Leyland, will ar rive shortly. He Is bringing with him two books which Lieutenant Hope Is very anxious to see. As soon as he comes I wish you to take the books to the study at the head of the stairs and then notify Lieutenant Hope that they are there. Do you understand" The man bowed respectfully. Very good, ma 'am," he answered. "I'll at- tend to it."
 Little did Hope and Cleo dream that the man with the deferential manners of well-trained servant,
 was, in reality, an unknown but dan | gerous enemy. It was Mahlin, who had bribed one of the servants fur nished by the caterer to let him take his place.

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 Valdavia 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 favorably on the new device but there are others interested in it. An attempt to ourglarize Doctor Burke's laboratory fails, but later Cleo finds him murdered in his bedroom. Cleo sells her fathers library 10 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 it in flames. Olga Iyanoff and Gerald Morton two spies in search of the formula, att tempt to capture Cleo when she calls at The house of Stephanski. the anarchist Hope rushes to her aid; Morton shoots at him but the bullet hits a bomb, in the cellar which eXpIOCes

On the other side of the room, half buried beneath a heap of allen plaster, Hope was stretched.

 Bless my soul," said Hope, rum maging in an inside pocket until he found a letter, here's something that Dawson asked me to hand you yester- day, but there was so much excite ment last night that it entirely slipped my mind"
 Its the money from the sale of fathers library" said Cleo, holding up 8 pale-green slip. ''I think" she added happily, that I'll spend this aft ernoon shopping. I don't want you to be ashamed of me tonight, Jarvis"
 
 Hope and Cleo were scarcely out of sight before Satsuma, who had ob- served their arrival and departure from the shelter of drug store on the opposite side of the street, was ring ing the door bell of the Delmar resi- dence.
 Mrs Delmar is not seeing anyone today" said the butler.
 But it is on matter of importance that I wish to see her." persisted Sat suma

 Ten minutes later Satsuma, in a telephone booth, was talking to Nah lin, who was in Valdayia.

 Hopes eyelids futtered, opened, closed again.
 "The Lord be praised, he's all right save for a tap on the back O the head" cried Hook.
 It was some minutes before Hope recovered his senses sufficiently to tell a connected story. My car broke down when I was coming back from the Presidio," he explained; "that's s what delayed me.
