 "He asked me to be sure and tele- phone him at the Palace if I was able to learn where Miss Burke had gone" the woman explained.
 q will go back to the city and see this Mir. Johnstone," said Hope, and, with few words of thanks he hurried away.
 Consumed with anxiety, he hurried back to San. Francisco and, going straight to the Palace hotel, sent up his card to Mir. Johnstone. The law yer, a white-haired ruddy-faced old gentleman, immediately received him. To this deeply interested auditor the young officer told briefly of the mis- sion on which he had originally come to California, of his acquaintance with Doctor Burke, of his friendship with and love for Cleo, of their long search for the lost formula, and of her mys- terious disappearance.
 sIt is quite evident, Mfr Hope, said the lawyer, when the recital was finished, that you are as anxious to find Miss Burke as am-though," and he smiled, flor somewhat different req sons."
 q speak of her as Miss Burke" he added, "but her real name is Miss Montgomery"
 Miss Montgomery '" exclaimed I0pn c1 fElNhnt ort h do you mean?"
 "The young woman for whom we are both looking" said the lawyer quietly, 'is not the daughter of Dr. Ralph Burke, as she and, indeed, ev- eryone else, supposed. Her father was the late Calvin Montgomery"
 "Not the New York financier?'' gasped Hope, unable to credit the evil dence of his ears.
 "The same," said Johnstone. "It seems" he continued, "that Mrs. Mont gomery died when Cleo was born, whereupon Doctor and Mrs. Burke, who were old friends of the Mont gomerys, offered to adopt the child and bring it up as their own. Mir. Montgomery was a poor man in those days, and, as his business kept him much of the time in the tropics, he accepted the offer. Mrs. Burke died a few years after Cleo's adoption, but Doctor Burke kept his promise to his old friend and brought up the child, giving her his own name. MT.

FOURTEENTH INSTALLMENT

Hope, realizing that the interna- tional situation must be grave indeed to cause the bureau of intelligence to send him so urgent a summons, within an hour was on his way to Washing ton.
 Admiral Burnside left instructions that he was to be notified as soon as you arrived" the secretary who took Hopes card informed him. 'I'll let him know that you are here"
 Almost immediately he returned. s'The admiral wishes you to appear be- fore the board, sir" he reported, add ing in confidential undertone S'They're looking mighty worried I hope you have good news for them"
 The board room into which Hope was ushered was the same in which, ten weeks before (though in those ten weeks so much had happened that they seemed to him like ten years) he had received the instructions which started him on his quest of the se- cret of the submarine. The officers seated about the long table were the same who had been present on the previous occasion, but it struck him that they had aged perceptibly, that they were grayer, more worried.
 I'm glad to see you back, Lieuten- ant Hope" said Admiral Burnside kindly. You come at very oppor- tune time. I trust you can give us some encouragement as to the chances of finding Doctor Burke's invention"
 ''I'm afraid I can't sir" replied Hope. "I fear that there is only a slight chance of finding the formula"

packed with people, whom the police were energetically pushing back so as to form q broad lane of asphalt.
 "What's going on today?" he listless- ly inquired of the waiter who was serving his breakfast. "Circus in town?"
 Preparedness parade, sir" the man answered.
 When, an hour later, the blare of music signaled the approach of the marchers, Hope, interested in anything that concerned national defense, took up position on the sidewalk, his height enabling him to see over the heads of the crowd. Preceded by a banner bearing the legend, Naval Reservists-The Men Who Would Man Our Ships in Time of War" Hope saw approaching column of sun-tanned weather-beaten men. marching with the trained precision of veterans but with the unmistakable roll of the sea in their gait These were the old sailors, the ex-man-of-war's men.
 AS they tramped by amid hurri- cane of cheers, Hope, peering above the heads of the spectators in front of him, caught glimpse of familiar face in the first rank of the passing seamen. He looked again. Yes. There was no mistaking that scanned and sun-tanned face with it's ever-present smile. It was Hook Diving through the crowd, regardless of the indignant protests of those whom he unceremoni- ously pushed aside, Hope seized Hook by the arm and, before the astonished seaman realized what had happened, he had dragged him out of the ranks, through the wall of spectators, and in- to the lobby of the hotel.
 "Well, I'll be hornswoggled, looten- ant !" gasped Hook, staring at the of ficer with bulging eyes and open mouth. q thought you wuz married an in Moo York"
 sWhere is Miss Cleo?' demanded Hope. "Where has she gone?"
 ''I can't tell you. lootenant," said Hook nervously. Honest to God, l can't Miss Cleo made me promise that I wouldn't"
 'You've got to tell me, man." cried Hope, seizing the seaman by the shoul- der and shaking him until his teeth rattled. i've come three thousand miles to find her and marry her."

either. That's all off. I'm going to marry Miss Cleo-if she will have me- And I've great news for her, Hook. She has been left fortune. She is a rich woman"
 "Seein' ez you'v come to marry her." said Hook. q reckon she'll forgive me if T tell you where she is. She's got a job as nurse with fambly in Sac ramento-Fletcher, the name is. She seen an advertisement in the paper for gal what could take care O children an she"
 But Hope, without waiting to hear more, had hustled him into a taxicab.
 Cleos anxious perusal of the "Help Wanted" columns had finally been re- warded by an advertisement for a young woman of refinement and good family" as children's governess with a prominent family of Sacramento. Here, at last, was an opening which she felt that she was confident to fill. A telephone conversation with her prospective employer and she was ten tatively engaged. But when she in- formed Hook of her determination he protested violently.
 ''Now, looky here, Miss Cleo" he had said persuasively, "there ain't no call fer you to do anything foolish. I'll get a job in day or two an then everything'll be all right. Don't you worry no more bout the money we'll get along some way"
 You're a perfect old dear Hook" she had answered, "but we can't go on this way any longer. My money is almost gone. Besides, I want to do this. I simply must have something to occupy my mind If don't, think 1 shall go mad. And I want you to give me your word of honor, Hook, that you won't let anyone know where have gone. If you won't give me your word I won't give you my ad- dress. Do you promise?'
 q reckon I got to-" the old sailor grumbled.
 .
 In the train, on the way to Sacra- mento, Hope briefly outlined to the astonished Hook the story which the lawyer had told him of Cleo's parent
