HAPPY CHAPTER XXV gILL TALCOTT shed his coat and cleared rail with a running headlong, Down he swept in a graceful arching dive with the startled cries of passengers and officers alike in his ears. After- Uie clean, warm tub of the New York Harbor was chilling cold and foul. But it was water. He went deep, opening his eyes. In Anegada Passage he could have seen his quarry.

He couldn't here: Kicking, off his shoes, he came up for breath. The black head was bobbing; a short distance away; the wig must been cemented on. Webber- von Stampf was making a lot of motions but he wasn't making much time There was a launch, though, that was taking more than casual interest in the proceedings. Its occupants were pointing and it began to swing in a wide circle. "Talcott went down again and shed his pants.

When he came up the launch was perilously near Its purpose was evident, to come between him and his qUarry. As witli three jpomts of a triangle, with the apex moving fastest, the launch closed m. And then from the rail a smoke puff showed and a shot zinged'tHe water. Talcott went under. Kicking, sweeping like a frog He felt the pressure as' the launch passed above him, and then directly ahead he saw the Nazi agent's thrashing feet He was almost on them when the thrashing stopped, and the feet started upward With a powerful kick he closed in with a smashing tackle about the knees.

The other must have been taking in a. mouthful of air-when his hand was wrenched from the boat- rail Air bubbles followed him down His struggles were violent, terrified. Talcott rolled him over The old game Water polo in the best accepted style Swimming tank fingers closed in the waist ot the Nazi's trousers and he yanked them to his knees Then he camo x-p beside the launch for air A boat was coming from the Blue Petrel, another from the Quarantine scow Shots froni the launch were being answered, with Irom both quarters Whep a yell of surprise from the launch announced that Talcott's presence had been, discovered, he went down again Gonstantine Webber von Stampf, he that could "come and as he willed," on the surface a. short distance attempting to rid himself of the jurgeqning pants. Bill Taleott gave nim a.

new source of worry by hooking into his coat collar and Starting to swim straight down. Utterly powerless, the man who had offered June Paterson's life in exchange for paper-, followed. His wig was gone; His eyes were distended in terror and great bubbles his mouth. And. as.they went ever deeper; the ini- effectual struggles ceased.

And then Talcott turned. The red bottom of the launch was gone; the-white of the lifeboat had taken its place. Grinning, he grasped the baron's chin, and pulled' him to the surface. Bill Talcott came up in "dry clothing, she was waiting; And so was her cousin. Her cousin said something that sounded like "Beautiful offensive.

Couldn't have done better myself." But that didn't matter so much. What did matter was 1jhat she sighed and said, "You are. wonderful," as though she'd lost an argument with herself. 1 And although Captain Pringle and Leonard Halsey too had come up by that time, it was mainly to her that he said, "I suspected Constantine and Webber of being the same person when I realized that I had never seen the two of them at the same time. The night after I was attacked-1 came down from the- boat deck and almost fell over him, supposedly asleep a chair.

"E(e had come down from. New York as Webber; a tailor on his flrst vacation in twenty years. Yet, instead of taking the trip through the Islands, he stopped over in Saint Thomas. That: gave him opportunity to contact Martha Swen- his agent in Martinique In order to check up on Strutjiers the pair of them had Jackson, the smuggler, drop them at Abas Island to give credence to 'the'-girl's story: that she was a refugee. But the professor's being there just didn't click, and I'c have suspected him then if hadn't had a few things of my own to worry about "You.

see, he had taken advantage of a technicality in the Federal Chemical setup, the of haying the auditor take oyer when a shortage was- discovered He worked it carefully, getting His operative in as Old Man Winters private secretary; sending von Stampf down on a different boat to make contact island, so tha MacDowell and I could.be disposet "of on the way home They wantec to'jnake it appear as if I was so juilty I'd killed MsicDowell and hen jumped overboard to swim ashore.rThey killed Sebastien cause they him put of the way. They couid brook no interference in what they planned to do on Abas Island. pTALSEY said, "-I'm beginning to have an idea what that was. recall that at the time I thought it was'rather strange Struthers should order 500 barrels of oil fore even set foot on the island." "Exactly. The.plan was to Abas Island a base.

Acting as conservator of the company's assets, Struthers could carry on 'the business as usual. He could order double the amount of oil and food he needed and have Jackson transship the surplus to raiders lying off the coast. "Their biggest trouble was th'at they overdid it. Instead of making up some- kind of a report which might have.worried: me plenty, he was so damned sure that Halsey would deliver the report straight to Winters' secretary he just.fUled the envelope with plans of defense works that had been traced in invisible ink by Martha Swantzig. She didn't dare bring them into New York for fear of discovery, and Baron von Stampf could never be sure how long his disguise as Constantino serve him.

So Halsey was, made the goat, and when I broke into his cabin and stole the report from him, they hit their second snag. "From then on von Stampf had to get me, but he had to keep me alive until -the plans were deliv-r- ered. His other accomplice, the steward, was in irons and he needed help so he.made his greatest mistake by putting the finger on Martha Swenson. Even his reappearance at the door as Constantine and his heroic- disarming of her, were, unconvincing. She could have shot me a dozen times- it she'd wanted, to." June Paferspn murmured, "But of course she didn't want to.

Not you, you big handsome CSsanova!" Bill Talcott flushed to the roots of his hair: "I've taken just about enough from you, young lady! I'in going- to turn you over my knee right now!" "You think so? ust try it, Mr. Taleott!" Capt. Seth Pringle hooked his hand's through Halsey's and Lowell Byrd's arms. "Got EORIE- thing. I want to shpw-you;" he remembered suddenly.

And then, when they- were a little distance away; ainft they a nice' though? Just, Ibpk at her stands up to Nope. Better not look now!" (THE END) (Stockholm dispatches from Ber)hi said Jilarshal Fepdpr Bock claimed "continuing success" for his Kharkov offensive. They said battle was developing into; another gigantic tank encounter -and that Tiinoshenko' had been for.ce'd to call r.p (At Leningrad, Stockhplm dispatches, said, German, artillery, aircraft were ppuhding Kronstadt fortress in preparation 1 -for terinined attempt to capture 'that Gulf of Finland island strong point and-'complete the encircleinehfof Leningrad from the sea.) Russia's midnight communique said German: planes had launched five raids on Murmansk Saturday, but only a few succeeded in'reach- ing the city. Eight planes were shbt and there was no military damage, although civilian casual; ties were-reported. During last week, it said, 33.7 German planes were destroyed against a Russian loss of 135.

In (lie Barents Sea, a Russian warship sank two enemy trans- poi'ts, totaling 15,000 tons, the com- munique ssserted. It announced that Soviet airplanes had dropped leaflets- containing the texts of the AnglOrRus- sian treaty and the Russo-American agreements over the German lines.

A NEW STARTS ON PAGE SIX TODAY CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES "God the Preserver of Man" was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, June 14. The Golden Text was, "The Lord is our defence; and the Holy One oi Israel is our king" (Psalms 89: 18).

Among the citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "Therefore take no thought, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed But seek ye first the King, -dom of God, and his righteousness; and air these things shall be added unto ybu" 6: 31, 33). Ttie Lesson-Sermon also included the follpwing passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "In divine, Science, man ig sustained by God, the divine Principle of'being. The earth, at God's command, brings forth.food for man's use. Knowing Jesus once said; 'Take nathpught for ypur life, what he. shall'eat, or.
