away, they were as helpless as though their lower limbs were incased. from the waist down, in plaster of paris. Scarcely had Hope realized that he could no longer free his feet, than there came to him q still more terrible ealization-slowly, almost impercept- ible, indeed, but none the less surely, they were going down. Cleo dis covered it at almost the same moment, for she said in a startled voice:
 Jarvis, I feel as though I were sinking"
 "It's all right, dearest" he answered reassuringly. There's nothing to be worried about. Stand perfectly still and I'll get you out all right"
 But despite his confident tone he was worried, terribly worried, for he appreciated that their plight was a desperate one.
 Don't come any farther, Hook" he called to the seaman who had started after them. "We're in trouble. Get back at once or you'll be in trouble yourself"
 Whats the matter, lootenant?'' shouted Hook, as, obeying Hopes order, he regained the bank. Are you in quicksand?"
 I'm afraid so," Hope answered. "We can't move and we seem to be slowly sinking
 What shall do?" the sailor shout ed. Shall get some branches?' T don't think they will do any good, HooK.'' came the answer. We're in too deep. The only way to get us out Is with a rope You'd better hurry down the valley and see if you can find help. You may run across a cowboy with a lariat But you'll have to hurry or you'll be too late . we're steadily sinking" But to himself Hope said: "He can never make 1t. We will have sunk long before he can get back with help. God-what death-to die in quick sand"
 Keep cheered up. Miss Cleo. and you, too. lootenant," called Hook, as he started off on a numbering run. ''Ill be back with rope before you know I've started
 Suddenly Cleo's young voice rang out. Hook, Hook i' she called. Wait minute. I have an idea" for all at once there had come to her the re- collection of how the day before she had saved herself from Mahlin and Satsuma.
 Listen to me, Hook" she command ed. There is no time to find rope we would be dead before you could get back with one. But you can get a

grapevine-a long one, such as I swung across the gulch on-there are lots of them in the forest-I saw them this morning. But you must hurry, Hook hurry -, or you will be too late"
 Tt is splendid idea, dear" said Hope. Tt never occurred to me. If we are saved it will be due to you"
 T hope that he will get back in time," she remarked. as matter-of-fact- ly as though there depended upon his return nothing more important than a social engagement, but terror was gnawing at her heart, for she could feel herself slowly sinking.
 The time dragged by. The seconds passed like minutes, and the minutes seemed like hours. Though tormented by myriads of insects, they dared not stir for fear of hastening the end. Already the black ooze was above their hips and was slowly, inexorably creeping higher.
 Dear heart" said Cleo, after a long pause. Tiff Hook should not get back in time, want to go down hold ing your hand. I shall not be fright ened of death, then"
 You dear, brave girl" groaned Hope; "this is all my fault. I seem to have brought you nothing but misery and trouble"
 -'You have brought me nothing but happiness. dear" said Cleo. And death holds few terrors so long as you are beside me-"
 But we're not going to die," she ex- claimed moment later. "There's Hook and he has the grapevine"
 Her quick eye had detected the sea- man as he emerged from the forest, and he had. as she said, the grapevine :: A monster creeper, as thick as cable and almost as strong. Venturing as far into the marsh as he could with safety, Hook. coiled the giant vine and threw it as a cowboy throws a lariat. The first time it missed them. and the second, but the third attempt was more successful and it fell within Hopes reach.
 ''Take hold of 1t, Cleo" he directed, land hang tight. When I count three Hook is to pull for all 4he is worth and you must kick. struggle, do every thing you can to loosen yourself"

tation more luxuriant; the pines and furs gave way to live oaks; the rOck-walled canyons became rayines, and the ravines ran out in valleys, whose gentle slopes were carpeted with lush, green grass. Little did they dream that in this fair and smiling region death awaited them in it's most hideous form.
 Emerging on the upper slopes of one of these mountain valleys, they saw below them broad band of marsh, Its yiscid, slimy surface broken here and there by clumps of bullrushes and reeds, winding like great and loath- some serpent down the valley floor. To avoid this bog would, Hope guess ed, entail a detour of several miles, which was made out of the question by the condition of Cleo's ankle.
 "It's not deep," he said to Cleo. 'We can easily wade across-or rather, I'll wade and carry you"
 'It's kinda treacherous lookin', lootenant," warned Hook. Better go careful or you may have some trouble gettin' out"
 If it gets too deep I'll come back" said Hope carelessly; but we can't get into trouble. It's only bit of swampy ground. I've shot ducks in far worse swamps than this hundreds of times." And lifting Cleo in his arms he waded out into the marsh. For the first hundred feet or so he experienced no difficulty, but, as he proceeded, the surface became softer, more treacherous, and, under Cleo's added weight, he sank deeper at every step. But his was not the character that yielded easily, and slowly, pain fully, he struggled on. Rivulets of precipitation were streaming down his face and he was panting from his exertions-but he was half way across now. Then came disaster. Without the slightest warning the character of the marsh through which he had been laboriously. wading abruptly changed; he suddenly lost his footing and plunged forward, and. before he real ized that his struggles were only mak- ing matters worse, he was ingulfed in quicksand to the waist. Cleo. appre- ciating the handicap which her weight imposed upon him, struggled from his arms, only to find herself sink deep into the mire. Standing side by side, with firm ground barely fifty yards

SYNOPSIS.

Lieut. Jarvis Hope is detailed by the United States naval board to investigate and report his findings on the invention of pr. Ralph Burke. which serves to bring the submarine to a state of per lection. On the trial trip of the inven- tors boat, Japanese helper Is surprised in the act of examining the mechanism. Hope reports favorably on the new device but there are others interested in 1t. An attempt to burglarize Doctor Burkes laboratory fails, but later his daughter Cleo finds him murdered in his bedroom. Cleo sells her fathers books to get money; later she finds a note from which she learns that they contain the secret for mula. Olga Ivanoff and Gerald Morton. two spies in search of the formula, at tempt to capture Cleo when she comes fL the books to Stephanski. the anarch- at him but the bullet hits bomb, in the cellar. which explodes. Hope and Cleo escape and attend ball at Mrs. Delmar's. whose nephew has two of the missing books. Mahlin, a spy, attempts to steal the books; in the excitement that follows the books disappear. Mahlin escapes; Hope and Cleo take boat for an island out in the bay. The conspirators follow in other boats. Mahlin and the Jap turn out the island light. Mortons boat with the countess strikes a stray mine in the bay. After a violent storm Hope and Cleo arrive on a strange island and dis cover that the man they hunt is there. But Mahlin and the Japanese also reach the island and put up fight for the turn and dynamite the shack. The con- spirators fail to harm Hope and Cleo. They manage to reach Sandsboro. where Doctor Owen has one of the books. Each Of the others approach the doctor, but he refuses to hear them. He arranges to meet Hope at the hotel with the book. Morton poses as Hope and but for an earthquake would have possessed the vol tune. Cleo is captured by Morton and taken fin his friends aeroplane to lonely cabin in the mountains. She finds there the book for which they search. FOrtu- nately she gets a note to Hope who, with Hook starts to the rescue. As he crosses the chasm in the swing ng basket Mahlin steals up and chops at the cable with an ak. Hook appears in time to save Hope. He reaches the other side and is greeted by Cleo; she swears her love to him. They return to the valley but are followed by Mah1in and the Jap who attempt to capture Cleo She swings herself over the canyon. Olga and Morton are dashed to earth in the aeroplane.

 "P'raps, under the circumstances, this might taste sorter good, seein' as we're all pretty well Jagged" broke in Hook, rather shamefacedly producing bottle of whisky, still three-quarters full. "It's very comforting on cold nights. l always have a bottle along in case I should get chill"
 "You're very subject to chills, I've noticed" said Hope dryly, "but just the same it's the very thing we all need tonight. A drink of this and a good nights sleep and we'll feel quite different by morning."
 After they had consumed their scanty but none the less satisfying meal, Hope insisted on examining Cleo's ankle. which was badly swollen and was causing her acute distress. Close by mountain stream tumbled down. ward in series of cascades and pools and, in order to reduce the swelling, Hope ordered Cleo to put her foot for time in the icy water. After bathing the ankle with whisky in lieu of alcohol. he skillfully bandaged it with a strip torn from the bottom of her skirt, and, lifting her in his arms, carried her back to the niche in the rock, where Hook was already asleep and snoring. Then, after gathering a fresh supply of firewood, he crawled into the niche, which, as he had pre- dicted, was comfortably warm, and stretched his aching body on the boughs besides Cleo. Twice during the night he softly stole out and re- plenished the fire. Creeping silently back in order not to awaken his com panions, he bent for a moment over the sleeping girl. Never had he seen such picture of loveliness and in- nocenee. Her figure, he noted, was so slender as to be almost boyish 1; her glorious hair had tumbled down and formed about her head a golden aureole; her blouse was unfastened at the neck and the f1ickering freight revealed her snowy throat. Even as Hope gazed, spellbound by her beauty, her eyes opened, and she murmured sleepily, q love you, dearest"
 Awakened by the morning sun. they breakfasted on the rest of the chocolate and more wild blackberries and started down the mountain. Their progress was slow, however. for Cleo's ankle still caused her such pain that she was able to walk only with the assistance of her companions. Gradu- ally the country in which they were travelling became less rough, the vege-

ELEVENTH INSTALLMENT

Out, out over the yawning gulch she swung until, feeling earth beneath her feet again, she released her hold upon the grapevine and dropped upon the opposite bank. But, though stag gering from fatigue, she dared not rest, for she well knew the relentless ness and resource of her pursuerS. Her clothes torn to ribbons by rocks and briers, her face and hands scratch ed and bleeding, her breath coming in choking sobs, she yet stumbled on and on until she dropped at last from sheer exhaustion. She had reached the very limit of her strength: she could go no farther. For an hour, tw, hours, perhaps, she crouched amid the bushes. wincing at every sound, for she could not bring herself to be- leve that Mahlin and Satsuma would abandon the pursuit. Tortured by the thought of Hope and Hook lying wounded, perhaps dying. in the forest, and goaded by the knowledge that if the man she loved was to be saved she must reach the nearest settlement and send them help, she twice strug- gled to her feet, but she had sprained her ankle in her mad flight and each time she sank back, helpless and grooming Nor could she hope to find her way down the mountainside, for she had completely lost her bearings and darkness was already falling. Overcome by loneliness and misery rhn fo ward on the ground and her slender figure shook with sobs, for, be it re- membered, she was very young and very unhappy and very, very tired. But all at once she ceased her sobs ant sat erect, tense with terror, for hef quick ears had caught the murmur of approaching voices. Mahlin and Satsuma must have found way around the gulch and have again picked up her trail. At the thought she fell tito an uncomfortable fit of remblings Stout-hearted though she was, the knowledge of what it meant for her t0 fall into tn, hands Of the Japanese and his equally ruthless en- ployer, sent her into an agony of fear. Far, far rather would she have sub- mitted to the caresses of Morton than to find herself Iii the power of such
 iends in human form as she knew her pursuers to be. Yet she could fly no farther. Her ankle was swollen and was causing her excruciating pain. She knew that her sole chance of escape was to remain hidden in the bushes that they might pass her by. The voices were nearer now. So violent was the pounding of her heart that it seemed as though it must betray her. Now she could distinguish the tones. About them there was something familiar. Then she knew. It was not Mahlin and Satsuma who were approaching hut Hope and Hook. She waited. breath ess, until they were near enough so that there was no chance of her being mistaken. Then: Jarvis, Jarvis" she called. 'Tts Cleo here. in the bushes" There were twin exclamations of sur prised relief. the crash of underbrush trampled under foot, and Hope, close ly followed by Hook, burst through the bushes and gathered her into his arms.
