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

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 a sentry, pacing up and
down, had seen the bubbles in the wa

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
w 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 IN Ter which they literally had
their hidden retreat, of that there
could be no doubt

counsels could have been seen at a
glance from the instant Difference ex-
hibited at the mere mention of his

put his coat and hat On it and set n
on the seat which he had occupied De
fore.
Just then Del Mars boat ran aroune
the promontory where WI Fang mac
met the submarine that had brougn'
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 outn'
in order to weigh himself down. Final
ly he put on the helmet, let himself
over the side of the boat, and dlsap
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 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.
1t was a strange walk that he took,
half stumbling, slowly and cumber-
somely cropping his way like 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-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

AS she did so, one of the men, with
an oath, leaped forward to rush her.
But Elaine was not to be caught on
her guard. Instantly she fired. The
man staggered back and fell.

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 a head stuck itself out OF ths
cave entrance. l fired instantly and
it jerked itself back in again just IN
time. That was the only trouble we
had, apparently.

The man opened a locker and
brought out the curious submarine

them up and began to put the suit on,

and adjusted the engine to get up

canvas into the semblance OF body.

TWENTY-EIGHTH EPISODE
THE CAVE IN THE CLIFF.

II was not long after the almost
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
we had found Del Mars message from
below" whatever that might mean,
entered the house and was announced
by the valet.

closet. Then to the man, as he en-

A moment later he made his way
down to private dock on his grounds
and jumped aboard trim little speed

motor and off the boat feathered in
cloud of spray.
1t was only a moment by water be-
fore he reached the Dodge dock.
There he tied his boat and hurried up
the dock.
Elaine and l arrived home without
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. 81 think we ought to
send that message to the government
