W. G. Arnold of La Grand Iowa,
whose presence in town was noted
last week, returned home Tuesday
after completing the detail work Of
the business that brought him here.
Mr.. Arnold is a former merchant, and
later in the banking business in his
home town. While here with his
wife on a vacation last June. he be-
came impressed with Eagle River as
ia place of residence, and also with
the opportunity for establishing
another bank here, and his return
was for the purpose of organizing a
stock company to be known as, and
to do general banking business I'M
der the name Of the Farmers & Mer
chants State Bank of Eagle River.
As business proposition it appealed
TO local forehanded men as they took
over SIS, 900. of the $4,000 capital
stock Nh. Arnold will return with
his family III about two weeks and
expects to open the new bank for pub
lie patronage about Jan. 1st.
With population of 5000 at the
last census, which has increased ma
terially since. and an immense in
crease bound to come within the next
| five years, it seems as though there is
| lots of room for two banks TO live and
grow larger in this county. At least
it is much larger territory than
most banking institutions have UNI
disputed control over.
Regarding location The f. J.

/ niteIy reported that he will erect a

Professor Arnold came up. He had
not exactly made hit with the guests.
At least, he seemed to make little eff

that would have furnished them any

opened the window and listened. Then
he entered.
First he went to the door and set a
chair under the knob. Next he drew
an electric bull's-eye and flashed it
about the room. He glanced about
and finally went over to Del Mars
desk, where he examined batch of
letters, his back to the secret panel.
Arnold was running rapidly through
the papers on the desk, as he flashed
his electric bulls-eye on them, when
the panel in the wall opened slowly
and Del Mar stepped into the room
noiselessly. To his surprise he saw
round spot of light from an electric
flashlight focused on his desk. Some
one was there! He drew a gun.
Arnold started suddenly. He heard
the cooking of a revolver But he did
not look around. He merely thought
an instant, quicker than lightning,
then pulled out spool of black thread
with one hand, while with the other
he switched off the light, and dived
down on his stomach on the floor in
the shadow.
who's that?" demanded De Mar.
"Confound it! I should have fired at
sight"
the room was SO dark now that it
was impossible to see Arnold. Del
Mar gazed intently. Suddenly Ar
nold's electric torch glowed forth in
a spot across the room.
Del Mar blazed at it, firing every
chamber of his revolver, then switched
on the lights.
No one was in the room. But the
door was open. Del Mar gazed about,
vexed, then ran to the open door.
For a second or two he peered out
in rage, finally turning back into the
empty room. On the mantlepiece lay
the torch of the intruder. 1t was one
in which the connection is made by a
ring falling on piece of metal. The
ring had been left up by Arnold. Con-
nection had been made as he was
leaving the room by pulling the thread
which he had fastened to the ring. Del
Mar followed the thread as 1t led
around the room to the doorway.
Course him!" swore Del Mar, smash
ing down the innocent torch on the
floor in fury, as he rushed to the desk
and saw his papers all disturbed.
Outside, Arnold had made good his
escape. He paused in the moonlight
and listened. No one was pursuing. He
drew out two or three Of the letters
which he had taken from Del Mars

mot thing in them," he exclaimed.
At the first break of dawn the little
alarm clock awakened Elaine. She
started up and rubbed her eyes at the
suddenness of the awakening, then
quickly reached out and stopped the
bell so that it would not disturb 9TH
ers in the house. She jumped out of
bed hurriedly and dressed.
Armed with a spy glass, Elaine let
herself out of the house quietly. Di-
rectly to the shore she went, walking
along the beach. Suddenly she paused.
There were three men. Before she
could level her glass at them, however,
they disappeared.
That's strange" she said to herself,
looking through the glass. There's a

getting ready for something. l won
der what it can be doing SO early
She moved along in the direction OF
the dock. At the dock the disreputable
steamer to which Del Mar had dis

orders of the rough captain. About a

Already, on the shore, at an old de-

dingy fishing smack anchored OF
shore.

Elaine sat in her dressing gown up
in her room, about to retire.
Her maid had left her. and she
picked up che slip of paper from her
dresser, looking at it thoughtfully.
What can crude drawing Of a
sunrise on the sea mean?" she asked
herself.
For long time she studied the pa
per, thinking it over. At last an idea
came to her.
"Ill bet have it." she exclaimed to
herself. Something is going to hap
pen on the water at sunrise"
She took a pretty little alarm clock
from the table, set it, and placed it
near her bed.
Returning from the party to his Ii
brary, Del Mar entered. Except for
the moonlight streaming in through
the windows the room was dark. He
turned on the lights and crossed to the
panel in the wall AS he touched a
button the panel opened. Del Mar
switched off the lights and went
through the panel, closing it.
Outside, at the other end of the pas
sageway, was one of his men, waiting
in the shadows as Del Mar. came up.
For a moment they talked. I'll be

TWENTY-NINTH EPISODE
THE ATLANTIC CABLE CUTTERS.

"You remember Lieutenant Wood
ward, the inventor Of trodite?" asked
Elaine one day after I had been out
for a ride through the country.
Every well indeed" she nodded with
a look of usefulness as the mention
Of his name recalled Kennedy. "Why?"
Hes stationed at Fort Dale, not
very far from here, at the entrance Of
the sound" answered.
"Then let's have him over at my
garden party tonight" she exclaimed,
sitting down and writing:
"Dear Lieutenant:
81 have just learned that you are
stationed at Fort Dale and would like
to have you meet some of my friends
at little garden party I am holding
tonight. Sincerely.
"ELAINE DODGE"
Thus it was that few hours after
ward, in the officers quarters at the
fort, an orderly entered with the mail
and handed a letter to Lieutenant
Woodward. He opened 1t and read
the invitation with pleasure. He had
scarcely finished reading and was
Fastening to write reply when the
orderly entered again and saluted.
"a Professor Arnold to see you,
lieutenant" he announced.
Professor Arnold?" repeated Wood
ward. 81 don't know any Professor
Arnold. Well, show him in anyway"
The orderly ushered in we'll
dressed man with dark, heavy beard
and large horn spectacles. Wood
ward eyed him cautiously and bit
suspiciously, as the stranger seated
himself and made few remarks.
The moment the orderly left the
room, however, the professor lowered
his voice to whisper. Woodward
listened in amazement, looked at him
more closely, then laughed and shook
hands cordially.
The professor leaned over again.
Whatever it was that he said, it made
q great impression on the lieutenant.

asked Professor Arnold finally.
NO" replied Woodward.
well, he's hanging around Miss
Dodge all the time" went on Arnold.
There's something queer about his
presence here at this time"
1--we an invitation to garden party
at her house tonight" remarked
Woodward.
Accept" urged the professor, "and
tell her you are bringing friend"
Woodward resumed writing and
when he had finished handed the note
to the stranger, who read:
"Dear Miss Dodge:
81 shall be charmed to be with you
tonight and with your permission will
bring my friend, Professor Arnold.
Truly yours,
EDWARD WOODWARD"
Good" nodded the professor, hand
ing the note back.
Woodward summoned an orderly.
See that this is delivered at Dodge
hall to Miss Dodge herself as soon as
possible" he directed, as the orderly
took the note and saluted.
Elaine, Aunt Josephine and I were
in the garden when Lieutenant Wood
wards orderly rode up and delivered
the letter.
Elaine opened 1t and read. That's
all right" she thanked the orderly.
"Oh, Walter, he's coming to the gar
den party, and is going to bring a
friend of his, Professor Arnold
We chatted a few moments about
the party.
"Oh," exclaimed Elaine suddenly, Il

her enthusiasm.

cried. Aunt Josephine. you shall play
