Before could answer, up the hill
rife shot cracked. There was a
whirr in the air and bullet sang past
US. cutting the red feather off Elaine's
hat.
"Duck!" l cried, jumping into the
car. "And drive like the dickens!"
She turned and we fairly ricocheted
down that road back again.
Behind US a man, a stranger whom
we did not pause to observe, rushed
from the bushes and fired after us
again.
Suddenly another rife shot cracked.
1t was from another car that had
stealthily sneaked up on us-coming
fast, recklessly.
There's her car" pointed one Of the
occupants to a man who was masked
in black. yes" he nodded. Give her
a little more gas!"
Crouch down." / muttered, "as low
as you can"
We did so. racing for life, the more
powerful motor behind US overhauling
US every instant
We were coming to very narrow
part of the road where 1t turned, on
one side a sheer hill, on the other
stream several feet down
If we had an accident, thought. it
might be ticklish for us, supposing the
square package really to be bomb.
What if it should go off? The idea
suggested another, instantly. The car
behind was only few feet off.
AS We reached the narrow road by
the stream, rose up. AS far as could

of dirt and small stones, but the cover
of the car protected US. Where the
bomb landed, however, it cut deep
hole in the roadway.
On came Del Mars car, the driver
frantically Juggling at the emergency
brake. But it was of no use. There
was not room to turn aside. The car

crashed into the hole, like a gigantic
plow
1t took a header over the side of
the road and down several feet into
the stream, just as the masked man
and the driver jumped far ahead into
the water.
Safe now in our car which was
slackening its terrific speed, l looked
back They've been thrown!" l cried.

On the edge of the water, just COW
cred by some wreckage, the chauffeur
crawled from under the wreckage and
looked at him moment.
Dead" he exclaimed, still me-
chanically gripping a rife in his hand
Angrily he raised it at us and fired
A moment later, some other men
gathered from all directions about
him, each armed.
Don't mind the wreck" he cried,
exasperated "Fire"
A vollcy was delivered at us. But
the distance was now apparently too
great.
We were just congratulating our
selves on our escape, when stray
shot whizzed past, striking piece di-
rectly out of the head of the steering
post, almost under Elaine's hand.
Naturally she lost control, though
fortunately we were not going so fast
now. Crafty, our car swerved from
side to side of the road, as she vainly
tried to control both its speed and di-
rection. On the very edge of the ditch,
however. it stopped.
We looked back. There we could
see group of men who seemed
to spring out of the woods.

they ran forward at US.

he sank down.

was only few minutes before Lieu
tenant Woodward himself appeared.
What is the trouble. Miss Dodge?"
he asked solicitously. noting the look
on her face.
i don't know what 1t is" she re-
piled obviously. I've found some
thing among the rocks. Perhaps it
is a bomb"
Woodward looked at the package,
studying 1t. Professor Arnold is in
vestigating this affair for u.s." he re-
marked. Perhaps you'd better take
the package to him on his yacht I'm
sorry can't go with you, but just now
I'm on duty"
That's good idea," she agreed.
Only I'm sorry YOU can't go along
with me-"
She started up the car and drove off
as Woodward turned back to the fort
with a lingering look.
Del Mar was hard at work in the
library when, suddenly, he heard a
sound at the panel. He reached over
and pressed button on his desk, and
the panel opened. Through it came
the diver still wearing his dripping
suit and carrying the weird helmet I'M
der his arm.
That Dodge girl has crossed US
again." he exclaimed excitedly.
"How?" demanded Del Mar, with an
oath.
Il saw her on the rocks Just now
She happened to stumble on the
bomb which you left there to be
placed"
And them" demanded Del Mar.
"She took it with her in her car"
THE deuce!" calculated the for
eign agent furiously. You must get
the men out and hunt the country
thoroughly. She must not escape at
any cost"
The diving man dove back into the
panel to escape Del Mars wrath,
while Del Mar hurried out, leaving his
valet in the library.
Quickly Del Mar made his way to a
secret hiding place in the hills back
of the bay. There he found his
picked band of men armed with rifles.
AS briefly as he could he told them
of what had happened. I'VE must get
her this tir1e-dead or alive he or
dered. Now scatter about the coun-
try. Keep in touch with each other,
and when you find her, close in on her
at any cost"
The men saluted and left in vari-
Gus directions to scour the country.
Del Mar himself picked up rife and
followed shortly. passing down
secret trail to the road where he had

carrying the rife, he climbed in and
the man shot the car along down the
road.
On the top of hill one of the men
was posted as sort of lookout. Gaz.

eye was finally arrested by something
at which he stared eagerly, Far away
on the road he could see a car in
which was a girl alone. Waving in
the breeze was a red feather in her
hat. He looked more sharply, 1t was

The man turned and waved a signal
with a handkerchief to another man
far off. Down the valley another of
Del Mars men was waiting and watch

he waved back and ran along the
road.
AS Del Mar whizzed along he could
see one of his men approaching over
the road, waving TO him. "Stopi" he
ordered his driver.

They sped away again in a cloud of
dust.
But even while Del Mar was speed

had discovered her presence, so yigi-
liant were they.
He had been keeping a sharp
watch on the road. when he was
suddenly all attention. He saw a
car, through the foliage. Quickly
his rifle went to his shoulder. Through
