SYNOPSIS.

After the fndinS OF Wu Fang's body
and Kennedy's disappearance, a subma-
rine appears the following morning on
the bay. A man plunges overheard from

OF Marcus Del Mar into America.
His mission is to obtain information OF
Kennedy and recover, IL possible, the lost

IS warned by little old man to be care
full of Del Mar. This warning came just
I'm time to prevent Del Mar from carry
ing out his plans.
Later Elaine gives a masquerade ball.
Del Mar attends. Neither he nor his
domino girl can locate the torpedo. A
gray friar warns Elaine and Jameson of
Del Mars purpose, and his plans are up
set. Del Mar succeeds in getting this girl

that they have the wrong trunk.
Upon Elaines arrival in the country she
again encounters the old man of mys-

packing. She does. and finds the long-lost

who follows them. A desperate battle
follows in which the old man destroys
the torpedo. That afternoon as Elaine
and Jameson are riding through the
country Del Mar plans to blow up a
bridge at time when they are crossing.
He would have succeeded but the old
man unexpectedly appears and delays the
explosion just long enough to permit
Elaine'S car to cross safely.

came. No other entrance, apparently,
except that from the waters of the
harbor led to this peculiar den.
Lying quietly moored to the rocky
piers lay three submarine boats. Fur
ther back, on ledge of rock, blasted
out, stood little building, sort OF
office or headquarters. Near by was
a shed where were kept gas and oil,
supplies and ammunition; in fact, ev-
erything that submarine could pos
sibly need
This was the reason for Del Mars
presence in the neighborhood. 1t was
the secret submarine harbor Of the
foreign agents who were operating in
America!
Already sentry, pacing up and
down, had seen the bubbles in the wa
ter that indicated that someone had
come through the archway and was
down below" as Del Mar and his
men called it,
Gazing down, the sentry saw the
queer helmeted figure float up from
the bottom of the pool. He reached
out and helped the figure Chamber up
out of the water to the ledge on which
he stood Del Mar saluted, and the
sentry returned the secret salute, help
ing him remove the dripping helmet
and suit
A moment later, in the queer little
| submarine office, Del Mar had evident
| ly planned to take up the nefarious
secret work on which he was engaged
Several men of a naval and military
bearing were seated about table al
ready, studying maps and plans and
, documents of all descriptions. They
did not seem to belong to any nation
in particular. In fact, their uniforms
/ If such they might be called, were OF
character to disguise their national
ity But that they were hostile to the
country under which they literally had
their hidden retreat, of that there
could be no doubt
How high Del Mar stood in theil
counsels could have been seen at q

hibited at the mere mention of his

on the seat which ne had occupied be
fore
Just then Del Mars boat ran around
| the promontory where WI Fang nae
met the submarine that had brought
Del Mar into the country and landed
| him so strangely.
The boat slowed down under shelter
of the rocks and Del Mar added pail
| of heavy iead-soled shoes to mis- outfit
IN order to weigh himself down. Final
| ty ne put on the helmet, let himself
over the side OF the boat, and disap
! peared into the water.
His aide started the motor and the
boat shot ahead again, with the dunn
my still occupying Del Mars seat. AS
the boat swung out end made a wide
sweeping curve away from the point
at which Del Mar had gone overheard
the naturalist in the Dodge boat came
| around the promontory and saw it
changing his course accordingly, and
gaining somewhat.
Del Mar sank upright and rapidly
down in the shallow water to the bot
tom. Once having his feet on some
thing approaching firm ground, he
gazed about through the window-like
eye of the helmet until he got his
bearings. Then he began to walk
heavily along the bottom of the har
Dor, over sand and rocks.
It was a strange walk that he took
half stumbling, slowly and cumber
somely cropping his way like a queer
underwater animal
If anyone could have seen him, he
would have noted that Del Mar was
going toward the base of huge, rocky
cliff that jutted far out into the har
Dor, where the water was deep, q
dangerous point, avoided by craft OF
| all kinds. Far over his head the
waves beat on the rocks angrily. But
down there, concealed beneath the
surface of the harbor, was sort OF
huge arch of stone, through which a
comparatively rapid current ran as
the tide ebbed and flowed
Del Mar let himself be carried along
with the current, which was now run
ming in and thus with comparative
ease made his way, still cropping
through the arch Once under it and
few feet beyond, he deliberately
kicked off the leaden-soled shoes and
thus lightened, rose rapidly to the sur
face of the water.
AS he bobbed up, strange sight
met his eyes-not strange, however
to Del Mar. Above, the rocks formed
| huge dome over the water which the
tides forced in and out through the
secret entrance through which he

we could only get rid of our preju-
dices. 1t is not, however, too much
to hope that the present confusion of
place names should be got rid of. Why
we and the French should persistently
describe as Cologne and Mayence cities
which their own inhabitants never call
anything but Koeln and Mainz it is
difficult to understand, and there is
certainly &c excuse for our pro-
ncuncing the name of the Bavarian
capital as "Munick," as if in scorn OF
the dwellers therein, who call 1t. as

ed to cut the ropes with which l was
bound.
AS she did so, one of the men, with
an oath, leaped forward to rush her.
But Elaine was not to be caught off
her guard. Instantly she fired. The
man staggered back and fell.
That cooled the ardor of the other
three considerably, especially now as
| was free, too. While she held them
up still, with their hands in the air,
went through their pockets, taking
out their weapons.
Then, still keeping them covered,
we backed out of the cave. Backward
we made our way up the dangerous
flight of steps again with guns leveled
at the cave entrance, Elaine going up
first.
Once head stuck itself out of the
cave entrance l fired instantly and
it jerked itself back in again just in
time. That was the only trouble We
had, apparently.
Cautiously and slowly we made our
way toward the top Of the cliff.
One look backward from his motor
boat was enough for Del Mar. He
must evade that inquisitive naturalist.
He turned to his man.
Get out that apparatus" he or
dered
The man opened a locker and
brought out the curious submarine
rescue helmet and suit Del Mar took
them up and began to put the suit on,
STOPPING down in the shelter of the
boat so that his actions could not be
seen by the naturalist in the pursuing
boat
The naturalist was all this time peer
ing ahead keenly at Del Mars boat,
trying to make it out. He bent over
| and adjusted the engine to get up
| more speed and the boat shot ahead
| faster.
By this time, Del Mar had put on
the submarine apparatus, all except
the helmet, and was crouching low in
the boat. Hastily he rolled piece OF
canvas into the serblance of a body,

Then they began debating in low, sin

He turned and took menacing step
toward me.
Hands up!"
1t was a shrill, firm voice that rang
out at the mouth of the cave as a
figure cut off what little light there
was.
Elaine passed along. hunting for the
trail. Suddenly a shower of pebbles
came falling down from cliff above
her. Some of them hit her and she
looked up quickly.
There she could see me being led
along by my captors. She hid in the
brush and watched. During all the
operations of the descent of the rock
stairway and the resetting of the
alarm she continued to watch, strain
ing her eyes to see what they were
doing.
AS we entered the cave, she stepped
out from her concealment and looked
sharply up at us, as we disappeared.
Then she climbed the path up the
cliff until she came to the flight of
stone steps leading downward again.
Already she had seen the man be-
hind me doing something with the
stone that formed the top step. She
stopped down and examined the stone
Carefully she raised it and looked un-
derneath before stepping on it. There
she could see the electric connection.
She set the stone aside and looked
again down the dangerous stairway.

Resolutely she took step forward
and into the cave.
Hands up!" she demanded with
astonishing firmness.
The thing was so unexpected in the
security of their secret hiding place
protected by the rock alarm that, be-
fore they knew it, Elaine had them
all lined up against the wall.
Keeping them carefully covered, she
moved over toward me. She picked

TWENTY-EIGHTH EPISODE
THE CAVE IN THE CLIFF.

IL was not long dIter the almost
miraculous escape of Elaine and my
self from the blowing up of the bridge
on the shore road that Del Mar re-
turned from his mysterious mission
which had. apparently taken him
actually down to the bottom of the
sea
The panel in the wall Of his library
opened and in the still dripping sub
marine suit, holding under his arm
the weird helmet, Del Mar entered.
No sooner had he begun to remove
his wet diving suit than the man who
we had found Del Mars message from
below" whatever that might mean,
entered the house and was announced
by the valet.
Let him come in Immediately" or
dered Del Mar, placing his suit in a
closet Then to the man, as he en-
tered the room, he said: WELL what's
new?"

frowning still over Eiaine's accidental
discovery of the underwater COM

the bridges, but 1t didn't work, some

"We'n have to silence her." re-
marked Del Mar angrily with sinis-

A moment later he made his way
down to private dock on his grounds
and jumped aboard a trim little speed
boat moored there. He started the
motor and off the boat feathered In a
cloud of spray.
It was only a moment by water be-
fore he reached the Dodge dock.
There he tied his boat and hurried up

any further experiences after our hair

at the bridge.
We were in doubt at first, however,
just what to do about the mysterious
message which we had picked up in
the harbor.
Really, Walter" remarked Elaine,
after we had considered the matter
for some time, Il think we ought to
send that message to the government
at Washington. 1t may be of great i'm
portance."
Already she had seated herself at
her desk and began to write, while
examined the metal tube and the note
again.

me the note she had written, "how
