The Roosevelt people contendcd that
the Whitman letter was extremely val
liable in tustifying the statement which
Is the cause OF action, as II gave him
official authority for making his
charge against Barnes.
The Whitman incident is the first Of
the secondary political explosions
started by the shells fred in this
big battle Many others are expected
before tho fight Is finished
William II van Bcnschoten, OF coun-
sci for Roosevelt. said tonight:
we accepted the Whitman letter in
good faith. 1t bore the name Charles
:. Whitman" and we were told by
number Of men who ought to know
that the signature was in Mr. Whit
mans own hand. OF course, we have
no reason to call Mr. Whitman.
The letter was offered merely in
mitigation"

the Dodge home he soon wins the conf

a little old man to be careful OF Del Mar.
This warning came just in time to pre-
vent Del Mar from carrying out his plans.

He attached another, smaller ma
chine to the wireless detector. In the
face was a moving finger which swung
over dial marked off in miles from
one upward. AS Arnold adjusted the
new detector, the hand began to move
slowly. Woodward looked eagerly 1t
did not move far, but came to rest
above the figure 90"
Not SO very far away, you see,
lieutenant" remarked Arnold, pointing
to the dial face.
He seized his glass and hurried to
the deck, leveling it at the shore and
leaning far over the rail in his eager
ness. AS he swept the shore. he
stopped suddenly. There was a house
roof among the trees with a wireless
aerial fastened to the chimney. but
not quite concealed by the dense foil
age.
Look" he cried to Woodward. with
an exclamation of satisfaction, hand
ing over the glass.
Woodward looked "A secret WIRE

Wed better get over there right

way to the ladder over the side of the
yacht. and calling to the sailor who
had managed the little motor boat to
follow him.
Quickly they SKINNED across to the
shore. Il think we'd better send to
the fort for some men, considered
Arnold as they landed. I'VE may need
re-enforcements before we get
through"
Woodward nodded and Arnold hast
lily wrote a note on a rather large
scrap of paper which he happened to
have in his pocket.
Take this to Colonel Swift at Fort
Dale" he directed the sailor. And
hurry!"
The sailor loped off, half on run,
as Arnold and Woodward left down
the shore, proceeding carefully.

flectively.
Suddenly my yagrant interest was
aroused. Up the stream l saw some
one struggling in the water and shout

along, screaming.
1t was Elaine. The hat and mus
tache of her disguise were gone and

was a good swimmer, but the fight
with nature was unequal.

took her hand. Half pulling. half shoy-

We managed to make 1t together

Elaine sank down, choking and gasp

in amazement.

She rose. determined to shake off

Elaine cautiously came from behind
a rock where she had hidden herself
and seeing no one apparently watch
ing. now. advanced until she stood di-
rectly under the trickle Of water which
had once been the falls. She gazed
into the cave. curiously uncertain
whether she dared to 60 in alone or
not.
The emissary jerked fiercely at the
lever as he saw Elaine.
Above the falls a dam had been
built and by a system of levers the
gates could be operated SO that the
water could be thrown over the falls
or diverted away, at Will. AS the man
pressed the lever the flood gates
worked quickly.
Elaine stood gazing eagerly into the
blaclmess of the cave. Just then a
great volume of water from above
crashed down on her, with almost
crushing weight.
How she lived through It she never
knew. But. fortunately, she had not
gone quite far enough to get the full
force of the water. Still. the terrific

road to the shore to look for her,

AS l walked along young tough
at least at the time l thought it was a

she had assumed and so well did she
carry it off-slouched past me.
Great Caesar" I muttered to my
self. that's a roughneck. This place

tinued my walk. 1t was no business

Where's Elaine?' asked anxiously.

Meanwhile. back of that wall of wa
ter. the wireless operator in the cave
was sending the messages which Del
Mars emissary dictated to him, one
after another.
With the high resistance receiving
apparatus over his head. Arnold was
listening to the wireless signals that
came over his radio detective" on the
yacht, moving the slider back and
forth on sort of tuning coil, as he
listened Woodward stood close be-
side him.
AS you know" Arnold remarked.
by the use of an aerial. messages
may be easily received from any mum
ber OF stations. In other words. this
is eavesdropping by wireless wire
Taper"
Are you getting anything now?
asked Woodward.
Arnold nodded, as he seized pencil
and started TO write. The lieutenant
bent forward in tense interest. Finally
Arnold read what he had written and
with peculiar quiet smile handed 1t
over.
Woodward read. 1t was a senseless
1umble OF dots and dashes of the Morse
| code but. although he was familiar
with the code. he could make nothing
out of it.
Its the Morse code all right he
said, handing it back with puzzled
look, but it doesn't make any sense.
Arnold smiled again, took the paper.
and without word wrote on 1t some
more. Then he handed it back to
Woodward. AN old trick" he said.
Reverse the dots and dashes and see
what you get"
Woodward looked at 1t. as Arnold
had reversed 1t and his face lighted
up.
