Washington.-Pre Wilson's re-
ply to General Carranza's note of
March ,S,Nwhich was in response to the
urgent representations of the United
States for better treatment of foreign
ers in Mexico, was as follows:
Il thank you for your message of
March s, for the reinsurance it con-
veys and for your kind personal words.
l beg that you will understand that if
our messages occasionally are couched
in terms of strong emphasis it is only
because they contain some matters
which touch the very safety of Mexico
itself and the whole process of its
future history.
I'VE seek always to act as friends
of the Mexican people, and as their
friends 1t is our duty to speak very
plainly about the grave danger which
threatens them from without, what
ever happens within their borders,
which is calculated to arouse the hos
tile sentiment of the whole world
Nothing will stir that sentiment
more promptly or more hotly or create
greater danger for Mexico than any
even temporary disregard for lives, the
safety of the rights of the citizens of
other countries resident within it's ter
ritory or any apparent contempt for
the rights and safety of those who rep
resent religion.
ANY attempt to justify or explain
these things will not eradicate this
sentiment or lessen the danger that
will arise from them.
ITO warn you concerning such mat
ters is an act of friendship, not hos
tility, and we cannot make the mean
ing too earnest. To speak less plainly
or with less earnestness would be to
conceal from you terrible risk which
no lover of Mexico should care to run"

SYNOPSIS.

After the finding Of WI Fang's BODY
and Kennedy's disappearance, a subma-
rine appears the following morning on
the bay. A man plunges overboaro from
it and swims ashore. 1t is the entrance
of Marcus Del Mar into America.
His mission is to obtain lntormatlon OF
Kennedy and recover if possible, the lost
torpedo. At the Dodge home he soon
wins the confidence of Elaine. Later she
is warned by little old man to be care
full of Del Mar. This warning came just
in time to prevent Del Mar from carry
ing out his plans.

on the seat which he had occupied be-
fore.
Just then Del Mars boat ran round
the promontory where WI Fang had
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 a pair
of heavy lead-soled shoes to his outfit
in order to weigh himself down. Final
ly he 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 and 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.
So
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.
1t 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, a
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 a 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-soied 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
a huge dome over the water which the
tides forced in and out through the
secret entrance through which he

ed to cut the ropes with which 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 OF
her guard. Instantly she fired. The
man staggered back and fell.
That cooled the ardor of the other
three considerably, especially now as
I was free, too. While she held them
up still, with their hands in the air, |

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.

it jerked itself back in again just in
time. That was the only trouble we
had, apparently.

way toward the top Of the cliff.

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
Their back, on a ledge Of rock blasted
out, stood little building, a sort OF
office or headquarters. Near by was
shed where were kept gas and Oil,
supplies and ammunition; in fact, ev-
erything that a submarine could pos
sib1y need.
This was the reason for Del Mars
presence in the neighhorhood. 1t was
the secret submarine harbor of the
foreign agents who were operating in
America!
Already a 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
a character to disguise their national
ity. But that they were hostile to the
country un Ter which they literally had
their hidden retreat, of that there
could be no doubt.
How high Del Mar stood in their
counsels could have been seen at
glance from the instant Difference ex-

TWENTY-ElGHTH EPISODE
THE CAVE IN THE CLIFF.

It was not long after 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 SUBJ
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
had signaled with the heliograph that

down to a private dock on his grounds

boat moored there. He started the
motor and Off the boat feathered in

er seemed to think, however, that his
wealth might finally make some i'm
preston upon the young lady upon
whom his heart was set.
Pearce gathered up the scattered
papers and placed them on the desk.
Then he closed the window so that
no further damage might be done. AS
he came out of the room two servants
met him. He did not, however, deem
it necessary to explain his intrusion,
regarding it as an ordinary act of
obliging consideration. He went to
his Office and forgot the incident, but
it was revived in a marked way be-
fore that same evening was over.
Bolger, that was the name of the
star boarder, had been robbed. He
had left his room that morning for
a bare five minutes. The window of
his room fronted on the street An
organ grinder had come along with a
whanging, disturbing instrument.
Bolger was aroused from a late
morning nap. He hurried on his
dressing gown and went down the
rear stairs to the kitchen, bribing the
cook to run out and drive away the
pest. When he returned to his room
he found his diamond pin and two
rings missing from the little stand
where they had lain when he rushed

Pearce was not in the room when
this remark was made. He heard of
it when he came home from a call on
Annette. His intention was to go to
Bolger and tell him of being in his
room that morning. AS he passed
it on his way to his own, however,
the absence of light induced Pearce
to consider that Bolger was either |

ger.
Pearce offered no resistance. All
that was manly in his nature, how
ever, came to the surface as, glancing
back at the house, he saw the face of
Bolger peering malevolently from be-
hind a curtain. 1t was less the man
mourning a loss than of one gloating
over the opportunity to degrade and
disgrace an envied rival.
Pearce was taken into the court
room of the examining magistrate.
Half a dozen other prisoners were
seated just beyond him awaiting ar
raignment. Amid his own troubles
Pearce did not particularly notice
them. He had sent for his lawyer.
The preliminary examination took
place. Bolger appeared. His two wit
nesses were the servants who had
seen Pearce leave the room.
1t was just as Bolger was describ-
ing the pin and rings that there was
an interruption. One of the other
prisoners awaiting trial sprang up.
