The former fled down the path leading to launch, while the Japanese, momen- tarily confused by Hopes unexpected appearance, turned and ran blindly in the opposite direction.

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 welco.:ed by the inventor and his daughter Cleo. On the trial trip of the inventors boat, a Japanese helper is sur prised in the act of examining the mechanism of the ventilating device. Hope reports favorably on the new device but there are others interested in 1t. An at tempt to burglarize Doctor Burke's labor atory fails. but later Cleo finds him mur- dered in his bedroom. Cleo sells her fa- ther's books to get money; later she finds a note from which she learns that they contain the secret formula. With Hope she races to the auctioneer's store only to find 1t in flames. Olga fvanof and Gerald Morton, two spies in search of the formula, attempt to capture Cleo when she calls at the house of Stephanski, the anarchist. Hope rishes to her aid; Nor ton shoots at him but the bullet hits a bomb, in the cellar, which explodes Stephanskf dies in the wreck of his house; the others escape. Hope and Cleo attend a ball at Mrs. Delmar's, whose nephew has two of the missing books. Mahlin, a spy. attempts to steal the books. but is discovered by Hope; in the excitement that follows the books disappear. Mahlin escapes. Hope and Cleo take a boat for an island out in the bay. The conspira tors follow in other boats. Mahlin and the Jap turn out the island light. Nor tons boat with the countess strikes stray mine in the bay.

blasting operations, presumably for the purpose of improving the little harbor, while on the shore had been erected rude hut for the storage of the workmen's tools So little was there to fear from marauders in this remote spot that there was not even a lock on the door of the toulouse, whose only contents, as Mahlin found upon investigation, were some picks, shovels and crowbars, keg of nails, a few coils of wire and a box marked Dynamite"
 Following the directions given them by the officer at the radio station, they followed the preeipitous footpath which led from the landing up the rocky slope to the plateau. Twenty minutes of stiff climbing brought them to the shack where, so they had been told, they would probably find Fitzmaurice staying. The shack, a fimsy affair of rough lumber, hung literally between sea and sky, for half of it rested on the rock, while the other half, which was supported by a framework of light timbers, over hung the ocean.
 There being no response to his knock, Mahlin, finding the door un- locked, entered the cabin. Though the single room which it contained was vacant, the remains of a meal on the table and the rumpled blankets on the bunk, which was built against the wall, together with the odor of tobac- co smoke, showed that it had been very recently occupied. Suddenly Sat suma, who had been prowling about the room, gave an exclamation.
 Here are the books," he cried, holding up two bulky, leather-bound volumes.
 Mahlin unceremoniously snatched them from him.
 You're right" he said. They're the very books we're after"
 He broke of abruptly and stood listening.
 T thought I heard voices," he whis- pered, laying the books on the table.
 Stepping to the door, he caught sight of Hope and Fitzmaurice ap- preaching the cabin.
 "Thunderation," snarled Mahlin. we didn't drown that confounded na- val officer after all. Here he comes and he's got man with him. Bring those

left Cleo. From within 1t came the sound of voices in animated conversa- tion.
 That's Cleo's voice." said Hope in surprise, but who on earth can she be talking to-"
 AS though in answer to his query, Cleo appeared at the entrance to the cave. Behind her, his face wreathed in smiles. was Hook.
 Well. I'll be hanged," said Hope. stopping dead with astonishment at the sight of. the one-armed sailor. What on earth are you doing here, Hook? I thought we had left you in a saloon in San Francisco. How did you get here?"
 T don't know 'zactly myself, loo tenant" said Hook, trif1e sheepishly. "Morissey here wuz tinkerin with his ingine and, sez I to myself, it'll be half an hour before they're ready to start, so I'll just step acrost the street and get drink but when I got back, lootenant, you wuz gone.

SEVENTH INSTALLMENT

For the three in the little launch 1t was a night of unforgettable terror. The clements seemed united to de- stroy them The wind howled and the sea roared like monsters ravening for their prey. But at last pale. faint light began to overspread the eastern sky It was a cold. gray dawn, but to those in the launch 1t was the most beautiful that they had ever seen, for it showed them the misty outline of an island rising, not half a mile away. above the storm-lashed sea.
 That's not Middle island" said Morissey, staring intently. "If it was ve could see the radio station. It must be one of the North Farallons. It looks like an ugly shore to land on. with a wind like this blowing.
 But, as they forged slowly nearer they saw with relief that what ap- peared from a distance to be solid rampant of rock was broken here and there by Assures which widened into coyes and inlets, and that these coves and inlets had, for the most part, sandy shores on which small boat such as theirs could be beached with out serious danger of being wrecked. Just as the first rays of the rising sun gilded the tops of the cliffs the launch glided between the barrier reefs into the smooth waters of one of these coves and Hope staggered ashore with Cleo in his arms.
 Laying her gently on the shingle, he stripped of her water-soaked shoes while Morissey hastily collected pile of driftwood and saturated 1t with gns. oline. Soon they were warming their

spat angrily. Hope Mt count of the shots and at the sixth he sprang for. ward recklessly. The Japanese, toss ing away the empty pistol, ran to the very edge of the cliff. He still held the precious books in his hand. Hope divined his intention.
 You might as well give up, Satsu- ma" he called. And if you destroy those books it will go all the harder with you. Come now, hand them over" !"
 You'll never get the books" !" snarled the Japanese. and with the words he flung them into the abyss.
 "But I'll get you," shouted Hope, beside himself with anger, and he leaped at Satsuma, who stood poised on the precipice's very brink.
 You'll not get me, either" replied the Oriental with an oath, and, just as Hope was about to clutch him. he turned and leaped. Down, down, down he went, straight as an arrow and as gracefully, and as cleanly as an arrow he disappeared into the sea. A long moment elapsed before Hope, standing on the cliff above, saw a sleek black head bob above the water and Satsuma, apparently none the worse for his perilous dive, struck out lustily for the shore. He had not gone far, however, before a launch shot around the headland and a man whom Hope recognized, even at that distance, as Satsuma's companion, pulled the Japanese aboard.
 AS Hope was slowly making his way back to the shack he met Fitz- maurice.
 The fellow I was chasing got away from me-" said the latter. He had launch waiting for him in the cove. What happened to the Japanese that you were after? I thought I heard some shots"
 He got away, too," said Hope.
 Well, there's no use in crying over spilled milk" Fitzmaurice remarked consolingly
 Having filled their pockets with the small store of food which Fitzmaurice had remaining, they were leaving the shack when Morissey hailed them. He explained that he had followed the line of the cliffs without seeing any one.
 It was drawing on toward noon when they reached the cave where they had

 Now. Cleo" said Hope, you had better go in and undress and dry your clothes in front of the fire. If you don't, we will have girl with pneu- monia on our hands. While you are getting dry Morissey apd l will try to climb to the top of the cliffs and see if there Is any food or shelter on the isinnd."

LOOKS GOOD FOR
JOHN DAY ROAD

o. B. Robertson, A. B. Rob-
ertson and H. A. Hartshorn, who
attended the legislative session
one day last week in the inter
ests of the John Day highway,
found considerable sentiment in
favor of this road and some who
were not favorably inclined
changed their minds when they
understood the matter thorough
ly. No impartial man can stand
against this highway when he
understands what i: means for
the development of the state in
addition to affording the best
route. 1t any road legislation is
enacted by the legislature it will
probably include the John Day
