PAGET HAS A TERRIBLE STRUGGLE TO SAVE HIM
SELF AND lDA-THE OTHERS ARE DEv0URED.

Naval Lieutenant Donald Paget, just given command of a sub
marine, meets at Washington a n old friend and distinguished though
somewhat eccentric scientist, Captain Masterman. Masterman has just
returned from a n exploring expedition, bringing with him a member of
the strange race, the existence of whose species, he asserts, menaces
the human family. At the club, the March Hares," Masterman ex-
plains his theory to Paget. The recital is interrupted by the arrival
OF q lifelong enemy of Masterman, Ira MacBeard, and the former is
seized with a fatal paralyuc stroke. From Mastcrmans BODY Paget
secures documents bearing upon the discovery and proceeds to the
home of the scientist. Paget proceeds to sea Oh his submarine, the
F5, and encounters a German cruiser He sinks the enemy, which had
destroyed the Beotia, IN which Ida Kennedy, his fancee, was a pas
senger. The girl escapes In a small boat. He rescues her, but finds
himself unable to take the skin to the submarine because of invisible
forces.

CHAPTER VI.
The SIEGE Of the submarine.

The Siege OF the Submarine.
I'm positive it's the water, sir"
said Davies. "We've tried running
submerged, and the electric engines
won't drive her any faster than the
petroi ones. It's like running a loco

He was standing beside Davies In
the coming tower. Ida had been

cabin. She had been hardly conscious
since her rescue; she was too numbed
from exposure to realize what had
occurred. and she had fallen asleep
Immediately.
At Fair island. which was an unin-
terrupted. cavernous rock. Donald ex-
pected to find the oll-ship, from which
his stores were to be r~eplenlshed.
Then he was to patrol the northern
area of the North sea with the aid of
the airplane. A stock of supplies In
the shape Of food was also expected
at the island.
But now Donald was wondering
whether 1t was not his duty to return
to the mainland to report the destruc-
ton of the enemy cruiser. OF course
the eMeers OF the Flying corps who
would be with the airplane could I'M
dertake this duty. But then there was
Ida. And there was the swarm of
derii men that had appeared.
How could he tell the navy depart
ment OF this without being relieved of
his command? But how could he fail
to tell them?
Donald looked keenly at Davies.
He was q nice little chap, disciplined,
clean. alert, the beau-ideal of a naval
officer In embryo. What he liked best
about the little MILDLY was his resolu-
ton; he knew that Davies would
never hesitate to take responsibility
whenever he thought his duty required
a prompt decision.
Donald could have no better conf
3aat. And be needed as sorely ms
Masterman had done.

cess Alice of attenberg. Prince An
Grew's wife, who is an English Prin-
cess and whose two brothers are IN

voted to her brother-in-law as are
his blood-relations
My brother-in-law,' she con-
tinued, lis precisely what the Greek
people need as king. He is a brave,
and inspired soldier. who has lei
them to victory; and they adore him
for il You saw the king at the
Champ de Mars ride among his peo-
pie without guard. the people press
ing about him, clinging to his sad
die. touching him. running along be-
side his horse. | doubt that If in
any ether country in the world mon
arch or president would have been
given So wonderful a reception.
Some of the entente newspapers
said my brother-in-law was trying
10 commit suicide by taking such
risks. That shows just how much
they know about it, The people OF
Greece almost worship their king.
and the great mistake the entente
has made has been to assume the
contrary. and to protect and tester
a revolution against him. Had they
spent quarter of the time and good
willy seeking to come to an under
standing with the king that they
have spent in helping to build up
revolutionary movement directed
& gainst him, none of the sad events
of the last few months would have
occurred; and he and they would
have been working in perfect har-
mony long since.
No. the English Princess de-
clared, Il cannot believe that my
own people are so misinformed of
the real conditions in Greece as to
consider for a ~ Hc"t any attempt
to take King Constantine from the
throne. But if they should counten-
acne it. am positive that they
would realize in a very short time
what they should realize now: that
no one but kim Constantine is ca
rable of leading Greece safely
through this wold crisis; and that
should he CO. the Greek epople as

front and back being plated and at
tached to a square yoke. A high
haring collar finishes the open neck
and is perforated for two STYLES of
rounded outline. Trimming bands and
buttons give the one piece sleeves a
chic effect. In medium size the frock
requires Az Yards 54-inch material.
10 cut the dress so that it will have
perfect lines is what today's lesson
teaches. The material first must be
folded in half as shown in the cutting
guide. Then take the various sec,
tions of the pattern and after study
ing them carefully arrange on the
goods as illustrated. The front is
laid into position first, the straight
edge running parallel with the sell
wage of the goods. To the left of the
front there is room for the piecing
where the gore has been sloped. The
yoke comes to the right of the front.
its single large 30" perforations rest
ing on a lengthwise thread, while the
back of the dress is placed below it
on the lengthwise fold of material.
The collars, yoke and belt are the
next sections to be placed along the
lengthwise fold, the pocket and sleeve
being placed above them, with single
80" perforations on a lengthwise
thread.
Buttons of selfmaterial may trim
the pockets and front of the dress to
correspond with the sleeves, though
there is such wide choice of designs
this season that one may yield to the
temptation to use sim crochet or bone
buttons. The straight, full skirt is
finished with a deep hem.
