Professor Arnold shook his head
slowly. as he handed the telegram
back. There's a wireless apparatus
OF my own on my yacht" he remarked
slowly. II have an instrument there
! which ! think can help you greatly.
Let's see what We can do"
"All right" nodded Colonel Swift
to Woodward. Try"
The two went out and a few min.
utes later. on the shore, jumped into
Arnold's fast little motor boat and
sped out across the water until they
swung around alongside the trim
| yacht which Arnold was using.
II was a compact and comfortable
little craft with lines that indicated
both gracefulness and speed. On one
OF the masts. as they approached,
Woodward noticed the wireless aerial.
They climbed up tho ladder over the
side and made their way directly TO
the wireless room, where Arnold sat
down and at once began to adjust
the apparatus.
Woodward seemed keenly interested
in inspecting the plant. which was OF
n curious type and not exactly like
any that he had seer before.
This is a very compact system"
explained Arnold. with facilities for
a quick change from one wave length
to another. II has a spark gap.

while transmitting. You might call II
a radio detective"

home and upstairs TO her room. She
locked the door and hastily %unwrapped
the bundle, taking out a tattercd suit
and the other things. holding them
up and laughing gleefully as she took
on her pretty clothes and donned
these hldeous garments.
Quickly she completed her change
Of costume and outward character.
Deity she arranged her hair so that
her hat would cover It. She picked a
black mustache from the table and
stuck II on her soft upper lip. II
ticklod and she made a wry face over
II. Then she hunted up u cigarette
from the bundle which she had
brought in, lighted It and stuck II in
the corner OF her mouth. letting Il
droop jauntily. II made her cough
tremendously and she threw II away.
Finally with a bold front she went
out and passed down TO the gate OF
the grounds. pulling her hat down
over her eyes and assuming a tough
swagger.
Only a few minutes before, down
In the submarine harbor. the officers
OF the board OF foreign agents had
been grouped about Del Mar, who had
entered and taken his place at their
head, very angry over the failure TO
cut the cable. AS they concluded
their hasty conference, he wrote a
message on a slip OF paper.
Take this TO our wireless station"
he ordered, handing It to one Of the
men.
A few minutes later the messenger
In the submarine suit bobbed up out
or the water, nea the promontory, and
climbed slowly over the rocks to-
ward a crevice, where he took OF
the diving outfit and then went along
to the little river. carefully skirting
Its banks into the ravine in which
were the falls and the wireless cave.
In her disguise, Elaine had made
her way by a sort OF instinct along the
shore to the rocky promontory where
he had discovered the message In
the tin tube In the water.
Something. she knew not what, was
going on about there. and she rea.
soned that II was not oil over yet.
She was right. As she locked about
keenly she d!u see something, and
she hid among the ROCKS. II was a
mar. all dripping, In an outlandlsh
helmet and suit.
She saw him stink into n crevice and
take OF the suit. then. as he moved
toward the river %ravine, she stole up
after him.
Suddenly she stopped stark still,
surprised. and stared.

what looked like a lever and the wa.

Then he walked directly through into
q cave.
In the greatest wonder. Elaine crept
along toward the falls. Inside the cave
Del Mars emlssary started to climb q
ladder to an inner cave. As he reached
the top. he glanced out and saw Elaine
by the entrance. With an oath he
