( Continued, from page 32) He was shot out of the torpedo tube to the surface of the water. Swimming quietly and attracting no attention, he climbed aboard the Mercedes on her landward side. No one was watching. He went to the cabin to which the wires were laid, made the contact and exploded the mines just in front of the oncoming battleships. The fleet was saved. Archer and the crew on the Mercedes, after a moment of stunned astonishment at the premature explosion and the consequent miscarriage of their plans, turned to find Colton coming out of the deckhouse. They threw themselves upon him. He fought desperately with a belaying pin, which he snatched from the nearest rail. The submarine came to the surface. Her men, led by young Austen, boarded the Mercedes and rescued Colton in the nick of time, but not without hard fighting, in which young Austen was badly battered up. That concluded the episode — save for the weaving of the unconnected strands into one cable, as a sailor would say, there is little more to be added. Archer paid for his treachery with his death. He was fortunate in that. For his part in the transaction the Rouanian ambassador got his passnorts incontinentlv. Rouania dis avowed and apologized, leaving the men on the Mercedes to the tender mercies of their captors for their participation in the attempted crime. For diplomatic reasons the affair was hushed up. The crew of the Mercedes were sent back to Rouania in their own ship and their government took care to silence them. The spectators ashore were told that the explosion was a part of a battle practice maneuver — the lips of the officers were sealed. Colton got Caroline Austen ; young Austen was given another appointment to the Naval Academy, at which Ethel McMasters vowed to herself that she would see that he did not fail a second time ; and the whole affair, which was never appreciated by the public, was quietly suppressed and forgotten. This is the first official and formal and public revelation of it that has ever been made. The narrator got most of the details from the Coltons themselves NICHOLAS DUNAEW Nicholas. Dunaew is the Fox jackof all trades, or rather more of a genius in several things. As a dramatic author, hisstage play, "The Spider, ’ ’ and his remarkable vers a t i 1 i t y of dramatic portrayal have brought him fame. He was born in Moscow, Russia, of noble parents, and was educated in Petrograd, becoming a Bachelor of Arts and a student of the law. Thru his association with Alexander Bilief, he harkened to the call of the stage, and toured Continental Europe in a repertoire of plays, including Ibsen’s "Ghosts," Tolstoy’s "The Power of Darkness” ; "Trilby," in which he appeared as Svengali ; and in his own plays, "The Spider," "The Vampire” and “The Terrible God.” Later he played in New York, repeating some of his Continental1 successes. While with the Vitagraph Company recently, Mr. Dunaew ’s most important appearances were in “My Official Wife, ’ ’ " The Call of the Past, ” " The Win(k)someWidow," and “My Only One." He has recently become interested in photoplay writing, and, thru the permission and support of Mme. Tolstoy, is picturizing the novels of her illustrious husband. ( Seventy-two )
