THIRTY-FOURTH EPISODE
rHe HARsoR DEFENSE PLANS.

Alone In the doorway before his
rude shack on the shore of the prom
ontory sat an old fisherman. gazing
out fixedly at the harbor as though
deeply concerned over the weather.

LIEUTENANT WOODWARD.
For long time the fisherman ap-
ueared to study the face on the photo
graph until he had It fndelibly implant-
ed in his memory
Finally he turned and entered his
hut. Has.ily he took off his stained
ceefer. From a wooden chest he drew
another outfit of clothes. The trans
formation was complete. When he is
sued forth from his hut again, it was
no longer the aged disciple of Izaak
Walton. He was now trim chauf-
feur. bearded and goggled.
In the library of his bungalow, Del
Mar was pacing up and down, now and
tiien scowling to himself, as though
there flashed over his mind stray recol
tections OF how some of his most cher
tshed plans were miscarrying.
Still. on the whole, he had nothing
to complain of. For. a moment later
the valet entered with telegram for
which he had evidently been waiting
Del Mar seized 1t eagerly and tore
open the yellow envelope. On the
blank was printed in the usual way
tho following noncommittal message:

thing.
The chauffeur had no intention of
remaining inactive outside while he
knew that something that Interested
him was transpiring inside. He had
crept up by the side of the house to
the window. But he could see little
and hear nothing.
A moment he strained every sense.
1t was no use. He must devise some
other way. How could he get into
that room? Slowly he returned to his
car, thinking it over. There he stood
fer a moment revolving in his mind
what to do. He looked up the road
An idea came to him. There he saw
little runabout approaching rapidly.
Quickly he went around to the front
of his car and lifted UP the hood. Then
he bent over and pretended to be tink-
ering with his engine.
AS the car was about to pass he de-
liberately stepped back. apparently
not seeing the runabout, and was
struck and knocked down.
The runabout stopped. the emcr-
gency brakes bidng hard.

laundering down the platform came
the afternoon train, great event in
the town life.
From the Pullman alighted widow,
moved down the platform it was ap.
parent that she walked with pro
nounced limp.
At the end of the platform the chauf-
feurs were still calling, while the new
conner looked over the crowd hastily.
Suddenly he caught sight of the face
of the widow He stepped forward as
she approached. The others held back
as they had agreed and paid no atten-
tion. 1t was like forcing a card
He held the door open and she en-
tered the cab. unsuspecting. Mr. Del
Mars" she directed, simply.
He pulled away from the station. on
through the pretty country roads the
chauffeur drove the heavily veiled
widow until at last they came to Del
Mars bungalow.
AT the gate he stopped and ran
around to open the door to assist his
fare to alight.
''Wait for me-" she said. without
paying him yet Il shall not be long

in the library.
'Mr. Del MARI" she inquired
The voice was net exactly soft, and
Del Mar eyed her suspiciously Was
this the person he expected, or a
plant?
Yes he answered. guardedly, II
am Del Mar. And you?"
The widow. too. evidently wished to
make no mistake. AS she spoke. she
raised her hand. By that simple &C
tion she displayed curious and con
spicuous seal ring on her finger 1t
was the sign of the ring for which Del
Mar had been waiting.
He extended his own left hand. On
the ring finger was another ring. but
not similar. AS he did SO, the widow
took the ring from her own finger
and placed it on the little finger of Del
Mar.

The woman raised her thick veil.

1t was the same face, also. that had
appeared in the photograph sent to the
old fisherman by Woodward.
Awkwardly, the man searched in the
front of his shirtwaist and drew forth
a paper which Del Mar almost seized

for the ingenuity with which l had du-

In his bungalow. now that Smith
had gone back again to New York and
Washington. Del Mar was preparing
to keep the important engagement he
had told US about, another of his ne
farious nocturnal expeditions.
He drew a cap on his head. well
over his ears and forehead. His eyes
and face he concealed as well as he
could with a mask to be put on later.
To his equipment he added a gun.
Then with hasty word or two to
his valet. he went out.
By back ways so that even in the
glare OF automobile headlights he
would not be recognized, he made his
way TO Dodge Hall. AS he saw the
house looming up in the moonlight he
put on his mask and approached eau
tiously. Gaining the house. he opened
a window noiselessly, turning the
catch as deftly as a housebreaker, and
climbed into the living room.
a moment he looked around, then
tiptoed over to the table. He looked
at it to be sure that it was the right
one and the right drawer. Then he
beut down to force the drawer open.

little metallic click of the shutter, fol

planation. 1t was a concealed cam
era. He sprang back, clapping his
hands over his face. Out of range
for a moment, he stood gazing about
the room, trying to locate the thing.
Suddenly he heard footsteps. He
dived through the window that he had
opened, just as someone ran in and
switched on the lights.

The intruder had disappeared by

peering out of the window as she came

asked.
