airy 1, from IL noon to p. m. 1t will
be an elaborate affair and well worth

SYNOPSIS.

After the finding of WI Fang's body and
EKennedy's disappearance a submarine ap-
pears the following morning on the bay
IA man plunges overheard from 1t and
lswims ashore. It is the entrance of Mar
lcius Del Mar into America At the Dodge
home one of WI Fang's men is trying to
lobtain information CT Kennedy and the
Host torpedo. His plan Is blocked by Del
Mars arrival, who also succeeds in win
ming Elaine's confidence. Later she Is
warned by little old man to be careful.
EDel Mars mission at the Dodge house was
ITO locate and recover the torpedo. He
would have been successful had 1T not
been for Elaines dog, Rusty, who dug 1t
from the flower pot, while Del Mar and
Elaine were talking only a few feet away.
Rusty carried the torpedo to the attic.
The little old man meets Del Mar at the
Dodge home. They draw guns together,
gases from the exploded shells of the old
mans revolver overcome Del Mar and
Elaine, and the. old man of mystery es-
lcapes. Shortly after this affair Elaine
gives a masquerade ball. Del Mar at

can locate the torpedo. gray friar

Mar succeeds in getting this girl in
Elaine's home as a maid. She finds the
torpedo in the attic. places it in trunk,
which with others is sent to Elaine's
country home. A holdup on the train
takes place. Del Mars men carry the
trunk away only to find on opening 1t
that they have the wrong one.

Mars men in hiding at the top. he
saw us, however, and Immediately
wigwagged with his handkerchief to
several others down at the bridge
where they were attaching a pair OF
wires to the planking.
Someone coming" muttered one
who was evidently lookout.
The men stopped work Immediately
and hid in the brush. Our car passed
over the bridge and we saw nothing
wrong. But no sooner had we gone
than the men crept out and resumed
work which had progressed to the
point where they were ready to carry
the wires of an electric connection
through the grass, concealing them as
they went.
In the study of his bungalow, all

up and down, while his men waited In
silence.
Finally he paused and turned to one
Of them. "See that the coast Is clear
and kept clear" he ordered. Il want
to go down"
The man saluted and went out
through the panel. A moment later
Del Mar gave orders to the other man
who also saluted and left the house by
the front door, just as our car pulled
up.
Del Mar, the moment the man was
gone, put on his hat and moved to-
ward the panel In the wall. He was
about to enter when he heard some
one coming down the hall to the study
and stepped back, closing the panel.
It was the butler announcing US.
We had entered Del Mars bunga-
low and now were conducted to his
library. There Elaine told him the
whole story, much to his apparent sur
prise, for Del Mar was a wonderful
actor.
"You see," he said as she finished
telling CT the finding and the losing

fixedly toward Dodge Hall.
Suddenly his vigilant attention
seemed to be riveted on the house
He drew field glass from his pocket
and leveled 1t. Sure enough, there
was a man coming out of window.

rope and going across the rooftree

ly in the direction he had been look
ing.
Del Mars men were coming through
the hedge that surrounded the Dodge
estate just as the farmer and his dog
stepped out in front of them from be-
hind thicket.
"Just minute" he called. 81 want
to speak to YOU"
He enforced his words with a vi
cious looking gun. 1t was two to one
and they closed with him. Before he
could shoot, they had knocked the gun
out Of his hand. Then they tried to
break away and run.
But the farmer seized enc Of them
and held him. Meanwhile the dog de-
veloped traits all his own. He ran In
and out between the legs of the other
man until he threw him. There he
stood, over him. The man attempted
to rise. Again the dog threw him and
kept him down. He was trained Bel
gian sheep hound, splendid police
dog.
"Confound the brute" growled the
man, reaching for his gun.
AS he drew 1t, the dog seized his
wrist and with cry the man dropped
the gun. That, too, was part Of the
dogs training.
While the farmer and the other man
struggled on the ground. the torpedo

man fell back, limp, and the farmer,
with the torpedo in one hand, grasped
at the gun on the ground and straight.
ened up.
He had no sooner risen than the
man was at him again. His uncon-
seriousness had been merely feigned.
The struggle was renewed.
At that point, the hedge down the
road parted and Del Mar stepped out
A glance was enough to tell him what
was going on. He drew his gun and
ran swiftly toward the combatants.
AS Del Mar approached, his man
succeeded in knocking the torpedo
from the farmers hand. There 1t lay,
several feet away. There seemed to
be no chance for either man to get it.
Quickly the farmer bent his wrist,
aiming the gun deliberately at the
precious torpedo. AS fast as he could
he pulled the trigger Five Of the six
shots penetrated the little model.
So surprised was his antagonist that
the farmer was able to knock him out
with the butt Of his gun. He broke
away and fed, whistling on a police
whistle for the dog just as Del Mar
ran up,
Del Mar stopped and picked up the
model. 1t had been shot into an I'M
recognizable mass Of scrap. In a fury,
Del Mar dashed it on the ground, ours
ing his men as he did 80.
The strange disappearance Of the
torpedo model from Elaine's room
worried both of us. Doubtless If Ken
nedy had been there he would have
known just what to do. But we could
not decide.
Really" considered Elaine, "I
think we had better take Mr.. Del Mar
into our confidence.
"Still, we've had a great many warn
ings," objected.
II know that" she persisted, "but
they have all come from very unre-
liable sources"
VERY WELL" I agreed finally, then
let's drive over to his bungalow"
Elaine ordered her little runabout
and a few moments later we climbed
into 1t and Elaine shot the car away.
AS we rode along, the country
seemed so quiet that no one would
ever have suspected that foreign
agents lurked all about. But it was
just under such a cover that the ne
farious bridge and harbor mining work
ordered by Del Mars superiors was
going ahead quietly.

KEEPING HOG LOTS SANITARY
Ounce of Prevention Is Worth More
Than Pound of cure-ProVide
Clean, Wholesome Food.

Never wait until your hogs begin
getting sick before you begin to clean
up and improve the sanitary condition
Of their quarters. In this matter an
ounce of prevention is worth more
than a pound of cure. The plan
should be to prevent by cleanliness,
good sanitation and plenty of pure,
fresh water, your hogs from getting
sick, and it can be done by the
proper kind of treatment
Give your hogs plenty Of clean pas
lures where there are no longer hog
disease germs in the soil, and provide
clean, wholesome food; scald, disin-
feet and clean the troughs and swill
barrels while the hogs have good
health, and don't wait until they are
sick to begin it This should be done
frequently during warm weather espe-
cialIy.
And above all things, don't compel
your hogs to lie in their own filth, or
any other filth for that matter, for It
breeds disease. Clean quarters, clean
food, clean water, pure air are the
best preventives against hog cholera.
