The young mm scent a ilp-.ti laid plot, aad their attempt to track Hazel and h< 1 r abductor takes them t" Germany, and plunges thorn into tor thick of the war which has now broken out. Vividly the story shows how Germany soon meets England hand to hand, and f.he two offi«rrs play a. part in all the exciting scenes of the war, many of whicn take place on English ground. Hazel's lover, equal to and emergency, never doubting his ultimate success, ik as good a type of the British naval officer as is Martin, whose love story, though quite as full of interest, runs a- much calmer course. One adventure succeeds another, and the story goes full speed ahead to a. triumphant conclusion. Opening chapters, CH oATTTBSAY. MAY 4,
