back, dead.
His pal had waited as long as he
dared to learn the secret. He jumped
up and ran out just as we burst into
the hiding place.
Kennedy dropped down by the dead
man and searched him, while dashed
after the other fellow.

"Too bad" frowned Craig, evidently

to go and find the fellow" He hand
ed me the note. And If anything sep
arates us today-give this note to

Meanwhile, as nearly as / can now
make out, Kennedy searched the dead
man again. There was certainly no
clue to his identity on him. nor had
he the torpedo model. Craig looked
about. Suddenly he fell fiat on his
stomach.
There was WI Fang himself coming
to the wharf, carrying the model of
the torpedo which had been stolen in
Washington and brought up to him by
his emissary.
Kennedy, crouching down and TAX.
Ing advantage of every object that
sheltered him, crawled cautiously into
an angle. Unsuspecting WI came to
the land end of the wharf.
There he saw his lieutenant dead
and the smoke signal still beside him,
unlighted. He bent over In amaze
ment and examined the man.

pulled long coat over his Chinese
clothes and wore SLOUGH hat. AS
he looked at the incoming passengers
he spied the man he was waiting for,
the young crook who had been wait
ing in the shrubbery outside the MAJ
building when the torpedo model was
thrown out.
The man had the model carefully
wrapped up under his arm. AS his eye
travelled over the crowd he recognized
WI, but did not betray 1t. He walked
by, and as he passed hastily handed
WI the package containing the model.
WI slipped 1t under his coat. Then
each went his way, In opposite direc-
lions.
1t was close race between the car
bearing the two crooks and that which
Kennedy had impressed into service,
but we kept on through the city and
out across the country, into Connecti-
cut.
Time and again they almost got
away, until 1t became a question of
following tire tracks. Once we came
to cross roads and Kennedy stopped
and leaped out. Deeply planted in
the mud he could see the tracks of
the car ahead leading out by the left
road. Close beside the tire tracks
were the footprints of two men going
up the right-hand road toward the
sound.

decided Craid hastily indicating the
road by which 1t had gone. I'll fol-

The secret service men jumped
back into the car and Kennedy and

ing the two crooks.
Already the wounded crook, sup
ported by his pal, had made his way
down to the water and had come to
long wharf. There, near the land
end, they had secret hiding place
into which they went. The other crook
drew forth smoke signal and began
to prepare 1t.

hiding place. The fellow who had
stolen the torpedo was by this time so
weak from loss of blood that he could
hardly hold his head up, while the
other hurried to fix the smoke signal.
He happened to glance up and saw us.
Come, Red, brace up" he muttered.
They're on our trail"
The wounded man was almost too
weak to answer. IL can't" he

Kennedy could only stare as they

The crook fell back and dropped
down behind the palms. Jennings
looked about, but saw no one and
stood there puzzled. Then the crook,
fearing that he might be captured at
any moment, looked about to see
where he might hide the torpedo,
There did not seem to be any place.
Quickly he began to dig out the earth
in one of the palm pots. He dropped
the torpedo, wrapped still in the hand

Jennings was clearly puzzled. He
had seen someone rush in, but the
conservatory was apparently empty.
He had pust turned to go out when he
