'I intend to keep the book until you release Miss Burke. l don't have to trust you and I'm not going to-"
 If you don't hand over the book I'll take it." snarled Mahlin, and raised his hand as though giving a signal. Hope, who had come prepared for treachery, whirled about with the quickness of thought. Nor was he an instant too soon, for, not a pace away, was Satsuma, in his upraised hand knife. Hope launched an uppercut which caught the Japanese squarely on the point of the jaw. His legs struck the low window-sill, and, too dazed to save himself, he plunged out ward and downward to the stone paved court, four stories below. So quickly did it occur that before Mahlin fully realized what had happened, Hope was again facing him and he was looking into the muZzle of the officers weapon.
 Hands up," ordered Hope curtly, and Mahlin recognizing the futility of resistance, sullenly obeyed.
 q am pressed for time" said Hope, taking out his watch, ''so l can only give you three minutes in which to decide whether you are going to tell me where Miss Burke is"
 twill you let me go if I tell you where the girl is?" asked Mahlin, visibly weakening. "Will you give me your word not to turn me over to the poliee?'
 If Miss Burke is unharmed I shall not mention your name to the police but if you've injured hair of her head I'll send you to San Quentin for life"
 "You hold the winning hand" growled Mahlin, capitulating Do you know where Suisun bay is?" "Yes."
 "On the south shore, about half way 1 between Martinez and Cornwall, there's an abandoned pier. At the end of it there's an old storehouse. 1 She's in there."
 Picking his way down the stairs in the darkness, Hope gave a sigh of relief as the door of the empty house closed behind him and he found him. self in the open air again. Fastening to the nearest drug store he telephoned for a touring car, and stopped at the hotel to pick up Hook.
 It lacked only few minutes to mid night when the driver brought his car to stop at the shore-end of the ram shackle pier. which Mahlin had de- scribed. At the far end Hope described low, dark mass-evidently the aban- doned storehouse in which Cleo was

T am Miss Burke" said Cleo, ad- dressing the driver of the closed tax icab which she found standing at the curb in front of her hotel "Is this the car Lieutenant Hope sent for me"
 "Yes'm," replied the man, short, thickset fellow, whose features were 7effectually concealed by the upturned collar of his coat, pair of goggles and visored cap which was pulled down over his face. "He said I was to drive you to the Cliff house and he'd meet you there."
 The most direct route to the Cliff house leads through Golden Gate park Instead of keeping to the main thor -oughfare, however, the driver, when well into the park, turned down one of the innumerable branch drives, which, owing to the greater intervals between it's lamps, was comparatively dark. and brought his vehicle to an abrupt halt in the dense shadow of an immense liveoak. The car had barely stopped before the door was flung open, a man sprang inside, revolver was pushed into Cleo's face and a hoarse voice warned her. "Not sound, Miss Burke, if you value your life" Almost simultaneously the driver threw open the other door, and in an instant the terrified girl was se- curely bound and gagged. The man with the revolver took the seat beside her and drew down the curtains, and so deftly and methedically had the conspirators done their work, within scarcely more time than it has taken to tell it, the car was speeding in the direction whence 1t came.
 When the car finally stopped, the man beside her threw open the door, and, aided by the driver, removed the gag and united the cords with which she was bound, but the circu-

That was the last Hope saw of Gerald Morton. Three months later he paid for his crime on the gallows at San Quentin.
 
 It was long after midnight when Hope returned to his hotel, but, not withstanding the lateness of the hour and his utter weariness, he ransacked his trunks until he unearthed the work on metallurgy, which Fitzmaurice had given him as memento of the dra- matic episode in the Sandsboro res taurant. Drawing his chair up to the light he opened the well-worn volume at page sixty-one, which contained, he found, a portion of the chapter en- titled "Carboniferous Deposits
 The seventh word on the page was, Hope found, examine" which seemed promising. Again he counted seven and was rewarded with the word cover" which apparently failed to make sense, but the next word in or der was 'of," which again raised his hopes, and in wild excitement he completed the hidden sentence, which read: Examine cover of this book"
 Inserting the blade of his pocket knife into the edge of the lining, he carefully worked it back and forth until it curled back. As it did so Hope gave a little exclamation of sat isfaction, for, sandwiched between the lining and the cover itself, was a small square of tissue paper. Drawing it out, he read in Doctor Burke's hand writing: "The formula of my sub marine invention will be found in a secret drawer under the glass tank of my working model.-R. B."
 Hope felt that the mystery now was as good as solved. The key was in his hands. Mentally and physically exhausted, he threw himself upon the bed, and despite the fears and. anxie- ties that assailed him, was almost in- stantly asleep. So soundly did he sleep, indeed, that it was nearly noon when he was awakened by someone pounding at his door. It proved to be a bellboy with special delivery let ter.

Hope rushes to her aid Hope and Cleo escape and attend ball at Mrs. Delmar's, whose nephew has two missing books. Mahiin, a spy, attempts to steal books. Hope and Cleo take boat for an island. After a violent storm Hope and Cleo ar rive on strange island and discover man they hunt is there. Mahlin and Japanese also reach the, island. Hope and Cleo manage to reach Sandsboro where Doc tor Owen has one of the books Cleo is captured and taken to cabin in the noun tains. She finds there book for which to rescue. As he crosses chasm in swing ing basket Mahlin steals up and chops at cable with an ax. He reaches the oth- CT side and is greeted by Cleo; she swears her love to him. They are followed by Mahlin and Jap who attempt to kidnap Cleo. Olga and Morton are dashed to earth in an aeroplane. Hope and Cleo are pulled from quicksands by Hook and a grapevine. Mahlin and Satsuma are called before the Black Council. Hope receives a letter demanding his marriage to girl who claims he compromised her

confined. Toward this Hope and Hook hurried eagerly, the ancient timbers of the pier complaining noisily beneath their feet. Inserting in the paddock the key he had obtained from Mahlin, Hope pushed open the door.
 "Cleo," he called anxiously. "Cleo. Are you there? It's Hope"
 But to his summons there was no answer Cleo was gone. Suddenly Hook, who was advancing slowly with the match sheltered in his cupped palm, gave an exclamation and stopped dead. Had he taken another step he would have plunged through an open trapdoor in the floor of the store house into the waters of the bay, which gurgled and Tapped the timbers of the pier only a few feet below. That someone had recently gone through that trap door was all too evident, for on the floor beside 1t, as though tossed there hastily, lay wom- ans hat, pair of high-heeled satin slippers. and an evening coat. Hope recognized them instantly.
 Come" he said at last, pulling him. self together. "We've no time to lose. He may have escaped already"
 "Where we goin' now, lootenant?" 2" asked Hook.
 "Back to town" was the curt re- sponse, "to get that hell-hound Mahlin. He'll tell me what he's done with her or I'll kill him by inches"
 Dawn was breaking when the car again swung into Panuco street Hope saw, with shock. that an ambulance was backed up to the curb in front of No. 1121 and that around it stood sev- eral policemen and a small group of curious spectators.
 What's the matter, officerw he asked, leaping from the car and ac- costing one of the policemen.
 Murder. sir" he said civilly. "I was passing the end of this street a few minutes ago when I heard a shot. A moment later man came out of this house and ran down the street. took after him. but he got away from mo Then l hurried back here.

 No neighborhood in San Francisco has more evil reputation than Panu- co street. No. 1121 Hope found was narrow, four-story building which, in days long passed, had evidently been a residence of considerable pre- tension, but which had now fallen into sad state of neglect and disrepair. As Hope ascended the steps, there came, from an areaway across the street, shrill whistle, twice repeat ed. The kidnapers were on the watch and the two whistles were signal to those within the house that he was unaccompanied. Swinging open the door, Hope found himself in such inky blackness that he had to strike a match in order to find the stairway. Lighting his way with matches, Hope cautiously ascended three flights of stairs and gave four brisk rapS on the door on the left, which instantly swung open. In the doorway, his face lighted by the lamp that he held above his head, was Mahlin.
 "Ha." said Hope, recognizing his former antagonist, "I rather suspect ed it was you l had to deal with. Where's your Jap side-partner
 "Just behind you" replied Mahlin, and Hope, listening, heard on the stairs the footballs of person stealth fly ascending. A moment later Satsu- ma Joined them.
 "Now," said Mahlin brusquely, when Satsuma had closed the door, We've no time to waste, so let's get down to business. Did you bring the book?"
 "Yes," replied Hope.
 "Good-let's see it."

iation had been checked so long that her limbs refused to support her and her captors had to assist her to the ground. There was no moon, but by the faint light of the stars she made out that they had stopped in the shadow of a low, windowless building, evidently storehouse of some sort, at the end of a long and disused pier,
 This much she had time to see be- fore her captors, unlocking the door pushed her inside. The feeble light of the lantern revealed the evil, cruel faces of Nahlin and Satsuma.
