II think we have stIll got q good
chance OF putting over our original
objective" said the commander. "the
seizure of the U-53 for a. violation OF
International law in taking on sup
plies from a neutral nation"
The earnestness OF the commander
appealed to Grant The president OF
the Criminology Club had been won
to the side OF caution by the miscar-
riage of the original plans, and had
been in favor of capturing the launch
as soon as II was sighted.
The run to the vicinity OF the light
house was made at reckless speed
considering the fact that the ship
carried no lights of any kind. Sud
denly the engines were shut on.
"Our destination" announced the
commander. Now to get the two
tenders on to scout for the launch"
Plans Agai FOlIed.
The two small power boats which
served the destroyer as tenders were
swung from the davits into the water.
Each carried three men. and with
muffled engines they slipped silently
away from the ship TO circle the
lighthouse until the launch was dis
covered. An anxious half hour en-
sued and then there was a soft bump
on the side Of the destroyer announc-
ing the return OF one OF the tenders.
"where Is DavidsonZ' asked the
commander referring to the petty Of

standing on near the launch to
guide you in II you wanted to 20
closer. sir"
The petty officer was dismissed
with orders to keep his tender over
side. On nearly quarter speed the de-
stroyer crept around the light and
then guided by occasional guarded
flashes from a small pocket lamp from
Davidson's tender, crept to a berth
within hve hundred yards Of the
launch.
Grant, Dixie and the commander
were crouching in the bow OF the de-
stroyer attempting to pierce the dark
ness which concealed the launch from
them when suddenly they were all
three blinded by the glare of a power
full light. A clumsy sailor on board
the launch had tripped over the feed
wire of the improvised searchlight
and had turned the reflector just far
enough to throw the destroyer into
bold relief. The light remained but
a second and then was extinguished
and shouts came across. the water
from the launch. shouts which were
uninteIligfble but evidently COM
mands.
"They were taking to their boats"
said the commander, but Grant had
rushed off. He had OWNED the intent
OF those on the launch and had jumped
over the railing OF the destroyer into
the tender which was tied alongside
and was speeding across the waters
toward the launch. Before he reached

EPISODE No. II
Germany Establishes U-boat
Base in America.

Harrison Grant sat in the office set
aside for his private use as president
Of the Criminology Club. Before him.
ON a large table were laid out maps
and measuring instruments. and he
was busily engaged in making q
rough draft of a section of the Maine
coast He had begun the task of
locating the base established by Ger
man spies in America following
wireless report sent from the destroy
er which had picked Dixie Mason
from the water after her escape from
the U-53. He drew the last line on
the chart he had prepared and laid
down his pen when the door opened
and Dixie entered.
You see it is not as simple a task
as It would appear" said Grant, re-
ferring to the finding of the location
OF the U-boat base, after greetings
had been exchanged. Longitude 60.
latitude A is in the Atlantic ocean
several miles of shore in a direct
line from East Machias, the point
mentioned by your destroyer COM
mander. The point mentioned by
Boyd is evidently a place from
which signals shown at the location
of the base can be observed by the
submarine, and not the real location
of the base as the statement made by
Boyd might lead one to suppose"
Planning the Search.
''Then it looks like a boat trip to
6e-44 and a wait tomorrow night for
signals to be flashed" remarked
Dixie
81 think I have a better plan than
that" said Grant. "The boat trip
suggested itself to me first, but there
is too much against its success. In
the first place a craft such as we
would require in the vicinity of the
observation point probably would
keep the .U-53 from appearing at all.
In the second place we might not be
able to distinguish the signal even
if we saw it and our venture would
come to naught"
Then what do you propose to dog"
asked Dixie.
Locate the base from the land
side by an extended search" was the
answer Of the president of the Grim
inology Club. "Boy-Ed mentioned
night as the time when supplies
would be received. That means that
lights must be used as a signal. 1t
Is merely a mathematical problem to
determine the boundaries of the sec
tion of the coast on which lights
could be observed with any degree of
accuracy from a low-lying craft at
longitude 60, latitude A. have al
ready solved that problem and here
IS the chart 1 have prepared"
Dixie examined the chart careful
ly. 1t was a rough drawing OF near
ly thirty miles of the Maine coast.
Dixie noted that they had been
carefully divided into zones.
I'VE had better lose no time in
starting" she commented. THAT is
q pretty big job you have mapped
out for the short time in which we
have to work after we arrive there"
81 have made arrangements for
that" returned Grant 81 was for
tunate in finding that there were
nearly forty operatives of the Secret
Service in Portland, Boston and other
points near East Machias, and shortly
after 1 received your message I had

from the destroyer caught him and
he dove overheard.
Grant sprang from the tender and
grasped the railing OF the launch. He
drew himself up on deck, and then
running swiftly looked into the hold.
One glance was enough to show him
that there was no hope Of putting out
the fire. and thus preserving the evi-
dence against the captain and the
crew. Then realizing his danger be-
cause OF the nature OF the cargo. he
ran to the railing and dove into the

"It is extremely lucky that we

Use Cocoanut Oil
 For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp. makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsifiel cocoanut oil (which is pure and en- tirely greaseless), is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing. as this can't possibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two tea spoonfuls will make an abundance of rich. creamy father. and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lath- CT rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil The hair drias quickly and evenly. and it leaves it fine and silky. bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.
