a hundred feet below.
Adams had gone down to find the
mines laid by the Silent Menace.
Without a sign of warning helmet
ed diver now rose to the surface and,
hanging on to the gunwale of PEARLS
boat, shot at her with a water-gun. He
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 similar weapon.
Mistaking him for Adams, and all of
her doubts returning, Pearl immedi-
ately severed the oxygen tube. She re-
GREETED this act the moment it 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 me!' she cried to
herself. 1T was not Adams He is
not the Silent Menacew
A moment later she was in the
midst of the fray desperately fighting
diver whose costume was Identical
with her own.
She shot his water-gun out of his
hand and fired again. Her bullet
crashed against one of his arms, which
fell limp. Clutching Adams, who was
fast succumbing without air, and'put-

effort, she swan with her free hand to

from view.
A little later a man, differently
dressed, though quite wet, carrying an
arm in a sling, came out of the jungle
and entered the motor boat. He

One delight of small Harold was to
go on an errand to a neighboring store.
After school yesterday at No. 3 he
was sent by his mother to get siphon
Of vichy. He was long in returning.
When he did arrive, his mother scold-
ed him for consuming so much time.
'Why," she exclaimed, land the ST.

tell me that is all the vichy there was
in the bottle when you got it?"
"Well, mamma" Harold replied, "On
the way home met little Sarah's cat"
"Well?"
"The cat said 'p-s-st' to me and the
siphon said 'p-s-s-t' 70 her."

Thirteenth EPISODE
Modern Buccaneers.

The first person In the Dare house
hold to note the prolonged absence of
it's mistress was Miss Bertha Bonn.
She had seen Pearl leave the house
alone and wondered little as to what
mission would entice her forth at that
late hour. She had also seen Orderly
Adams leave the garage and walk
away in an opposite direction at pre-
cisely the same time.
After a while Bertha telephoned to
the war department and informed Col
onel Dare that neither his daughter nor
his orderly had returned and limited
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-
ton. She telephoned to Major Thorn
ton Brent at the barracks and asked
FOR Adams. Brent told her that Adams
was not at the barracks and inquired
II anything was amiss at the Dares.
Bertha hesitated little. Nothing,
probably. Suppose you come here.

Brent Immediately suspected that
Bertha had personal motive in max
ing this suggestion. "Will tomorrow
not do as we'll? 1t is very late"
you will come at once" responded
Bertha with finality, hanging up the
receiver before he could again evade OIL
refuse.
Brent replaced his receiver on It's
hook and departed for the Dares very
much annoyed. He found Bertha ner
