Elaine changed her clothes quickly
Meanwhile she had ordered horses for
both of us, and groom brought them
around from the stables 1t took mo
only a short time to jump into Soma
dry things and I waited impatientlv
She was ready very soon, however
and we mounted and cantered or
again in the direction Of the shore
where she had seen the remarkable
waterfall, of which she had told me,
We had not gone far when he heard
sounds, as if an army were bearing
down on us. whats that?" I asked
Elaine turned and looked. It was a
squad of cavalry.
"Why, it's Lieutenant Woodwards
friend, Captain Price," she exclaimed
waving to the captain at the head Of
the squad.
A moment later Captain Price pulled
up and bowed. Quickly we told him
of what Elaine had just discovered
That's strange" he said. This
man" indicating the sailor, 'has just
told me that Lieutenant Woodward
and Professor Arnold are investigat.
ing wireless outfit over near there.
Perhaps there's some connection"
MAY we join your" she asked.
"By all means" he returned. 81
was about to suggest it myself"
We fell in behind with the rest and
were off again.
Under the direction of the sailor
we came at last to the ravine where
we looked about searchingly for some
trace of Arnold and Woodward
whats that noise?" exclaimed one
of the cavalrymen.
We could hear shots, above US.
"They may need u.s." cried Elaine,
impatiently.
1t was impossible to ride up the
sheer heights above.
'Dismount," ordered Captain Price
His men jumped down and we fol-
lowed him. Elaine struggled up now,
helped by me, now helping me-
Farther down the hill from the de-
serted house which we could see
above us at the top was an under
ground passage which had been built
to divert part of the water above the
falls for power Through it the water
surged and over this boiling stream
ran a boardwalk, the length of the
tunnel
Into this tunnel we could see that
a masked man had made his way. AS
he did so, he turned for just mo-
ment and fired a volley Of shots.
Elaine screamed. There were Ar.
mold and Woodward, his targets, com
ing on boldly, as yet unhit. They
rushed in after him, in spite of his
running fire, returning his shots and
darling toward the tunnel entrance
which he still blaZed back at
them.
From our end of the ravine, we
could see precisely what was going on.
"Come-the other end of the tunnel
shouted Price, who had evidently been
over the ground ami knew it.
We made our way quickly to it and
it seemed as if we had our man
trapped, like rat in a hole.
In the tunnel the man was firing
back at his pursuers as he ran along
the boardwalk for our end. He looked
up just in time as he approached US
He dropped down and let himself
without even splash, into the water
Arnold and Woodward took step
into the darkness, scarcely knowing
what to expect, their eyes a bit better
accustomed to the dusk. But II they
had been there an hour, in all prop
ability they could not have seen Wnat
was at their very feet.
Del Mar had sunk and was SWIM

they entered, he passed out, nerVeu
up to desperation.

grimly to himself, he hurried up tne

Someone's coming" whispereu
Price. Get ready"
We leveled our guns. I was about
to fire.
"Look out! Don't uhoot!" warneu
a voice sharply. 1t was Elaine ne,
