Professor Arnold shook his head
slowly. as he handed the telegram
back. "There's a wireless apparatus
of my own on my yacht he remarked
slowly. 81 have an instrument there
which I think can help you greatly.
Let's see what we can do
"All right" nodded Colonel Swift
to Woodward. cry"
The two went out and a few min
utes later, on the shore, jumped into
Arnold's fast little motor boat and
sped out across the water until they
swung around alongside the trim
yacht which Arnold was using.
1t was a compact and comfortable
little craft with lines that indicated
both gracefulness and speed. On one
Of the masts, as they approached,
Woodward noticed the wireless aerial.
They climbed up the ladder over the
side and made their way directly to
the wireless room, where Arnold sat
down and at once began to adjust
the apparatus.
Woodward seemed keenly interested
in inspecting the plant, which was of
a curious type and not exactly like
any that he had seen before.
'"This is a very compact system"
explained Arnold, with facilities for
a quick change from one wave length
to another. 1t has a spark gap,

while transmitting. You might call it

I succeeded in getting Elaine safely
home after Burnside and l rescued her
in the hydrOaerOplane, but no sooner
had she changed her clothes for dry
ones than she disappeared herself At
least l could not find her, though,
later, found that she had stolen away
to town and there had purchased
complete outfit of mems clothes from
a secondhand dealer.
Cautiously, with the large bundle
under her arm, she returned to Dodge
hall and almost sneaked into her own
home and upstairs to her room. She
locked the door and hastily unWrapped
the bundle, taking out a tattered suit
and the other things, holding them
up and laughing gleefully as she took
off her own pretty clothes and dOnned
these hideous garments.
Quickly she completed her change
of costume and outward character
Deity she arranged her hair so that
her hat would cover it. She picked a
black mustache from the table and
stuck it on her soft upper lip. 1t
tickled and she made a wry face over
it. Then she hunted up a cigarette
from the bundle which she had
brought in, lighted it and stuck it in
the corner of her mouth, letting it
droop jauntily. 1t made her cough
tremendously and she threw it away.
Finally with a bold front she went
out and passed down to the gate of
the grounds, pulling her hat down
over her eyes and assuming tough
| swagger.
Only a few minutes before, down
in the submarine harbor, the officers
of the board of foreign agents had
been grouped about Del Mar, who had
| entered and taken his place at their
head, very angry over the failure to
cut the cable. AS they concluded
their hasty conference he wrote
message on slip of paper
'Take this to our wireless station,'
he ordered, handing it to one of the
men.
A few minutes later the messenger
in the submarine suit bobbed up out
of the water, near the promontory, and
climbed slowly over the rocks to-
ward a crevice, where he took off
| the diving outfit and then went along
to the little river, carefully skirting
it's banks into the ravine in which
were the falls and the wireless cave
In her disguise, Elaine had made
her way by sort of instinct along the
shore to the rocky promontory where
| he had discovered the message in
the tin tube in the water
Something, she knew not what, was
going on about there, and she rea-
soned that it was not all over yet.
She was right. AS she looked about
| keenly she did see something, and
she hid among the rocks. 1t was a
man, all dripping, in an outlandish
helmet and suit
She saw him stink into a crevice and
take Off the suit, then, as he moved
toward the river ravine, she stole up
after him.
Suddenly she stopped stark still,
| surprised, and stared.
The man had actually gone up to
| the very waterfall. He had pressed
| what looked like a lever and the wa
ter over the falls seemed to stop.
Then he walked directly through into
| a cave.
