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. Il have an instrument there
which / think can help you greatly
Let's sea what we can do
IAN right" nodded Colonel Swift
to Woodward, Try"
The two went out and few min
utes later, on the shore, jumped into
Arnold's fast little motor boat and
sred out across the water until they
swung around alongside the trim
yacht which Arnold was using.
It was a compact and comfortable
little craft with lines that indicated
both gracofulness 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 wa Of
curious type and not exactly like
any that he had seen before.
"Thls is a very compact system,
explained Arnold, with facilities for
quick change from one wave length
to another It has a spark gap,

succeeded in getting Elaine safely
home after Burnside and | rescued her
in the hydroaeroplane, but no sooner
had she changed her clothes for dry
ones than she disappeared herself, At
least I could not find her, though,
later, found that she had stolen away
to town and there had purchased a
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 cut a tattered suit
and the other things, holding them
up and laughing gleefully as she took
OF her own pretty clothes and donned
these hideous garments.
Quickly she completed her change

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 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 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 a
on a 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 creyice, 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 a 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.

She was right AS she looked about |

she hid among the rocks. 1t was

She saw him stink into crevice and

oward the river ravlne, she stole up

Suddenly she stopped stark still,
and stared.
The man had actually gone up to

In the greatest wonder, Elaine crept
