 The wOrkmen signaled to the en- gineer above and the car ran up the wharf and up an incline at the shore end.
 The moment the car disappeared Del Mar hurried away in the direction he had come.
 At the top of the grade. he noticed. was a donkey engine which operated the cable that drew the car up from the dock, and at the top of the in- cline was a huge pile of material.
 The car had been drawn up to the top of the grade by this time. There the engineer who operated the engine stopped it.
 Just then the whistle blew for the noon hour. The men quit work and went to get their dinner pails, while the engineer started to draw the fire. Beside the engine, he began to chop some wood. while the car was held at the top of the grade by the cable.
 
 In our pursuit We came at last in sight of lonely hut. Evidently that must be a rendezvous of Del Mar. But was he there? Was Elaine there? We must see first

 "Now-go down that stairway ahead of me ordered Del Mar
 Elaine obeyed tensely, and he fol lowed into his emergency exit, clos ng the trap.

 They redoubled their efforts and the door bent and swayed.
 At last 1t fell in under the sheer weight of the blows.

 Meanwhile. through the passage, along rocky stairway. Del Mar con tinued 10 drive Elaine before him, up and ever up to the level of the land.

 Down in the Httle office our men continued to search for the secret exit.

 As he fo4aI the secret trap and threw fl open. the hermit stripped of the cumbersome diving suit and jumped in, followed by Woodward. myself and the soldiers.

 Finally. however, Arnold discovered the trail in the grass and We fol- lowed him slowly picking up the tracks.
 
 Knowing that the submarine would cruise about and wait for him. Del Mar decided to leave Elaine in the hut while he went out and searched for boat in which to look for the sub marine
 Coming out of the hut ho gazed about and moved of cautiously Stealthily he went down to the shore and there looked up and down in tently

 She looked about for some weapon. There on the ledge lay ono of the hand grenades. She picked it up and hurled 1t at him, but he lodged and 1t missed him. On IL flew. landing close to the submarine As 1t exploded, another of Del Mars men toppled over into the water.
 Between volleys. Woodward. Arnold and the rest pulled of their helmets.
 "Elaine." cried Arnold, catching sight of her in the hands of Del Mar.
 Quickly. at the head of such mon as he could muster. the hermit led n charge.
 In the submarine the last man was waiting for Del Mar. As the her init ran forward with several soldiers between Del Mar and the submarine, it was evident that Del Mar would be cut of.
 The man at the hatch climbed down into the boat. It was useless to wait. Slowly the submarine began to sink
 Del Mar by this time had overcome Elaine and started Co run toward the submarine with her. But then he stopped short.
 There was a queer figure of her init leading some soldiers. He was cut on.
 Back into the office," he growled, dragging Elaine.
 He banged shut the door just as the hermit and the soldiers made a rush at him. On the door they bat tered. But it was in vain. The door was locked.
 In the office Del Mar hastily went to a corner after barring the door. and lifted trap door in the floor, known only to himself.
 Elaine did not move or make any attempt to escape, for Del Mar fin ad dition to having a vicious looking au- tomatic in his hand kept a watchful eye on her.

 Along the ledge the men were sta toned, each with a pile of the gren- ades before him.
 "See," cried one of them from the ledge as he caught sight of one of our helmets appearing
 The others crouched and stared. Del Mar himself hurried forward and gazed in the direction the man indicated. There they could see Woodward. Ar mold and the rest of us just beginning to climb up out of the water
 Del Mar aimed and fired. One of the men had thrown up his arms with a cry and fallen back into the water
 Invaders seemed to swarm up now in every direction from the water.
 On the semi-circular ledge about one side of the harbor. Del Mars men were now ranged in close order near d sub marine, whose hatch was open to re- ceive them, ready to repel the attack and If necessary retreat into the under sea boat
 They fired sharply at the figures that rose from the water Many of the men fell back, hit. but, in turn, large number managed to gain foothold on the ledge
 Led by Arnold and Woodward. they formed quickly and stripped off the waterproof coverings of their weap- ons. returning the fire sharply Things were more equal now Several of Del Mars men had fallen. The smoke of battle filled the narrow harbor
 In the office Elaine listened keenly to the shots What did it all mean? Clearly it could be nothing less than assistance coming
 The man on guard heard also and his uncomfortable curiosity took him to the door. As he gazed out Elaine saw her chance. She made n rush at him and seized him. wrestling the rifle from his hands before he knew it. She sprang back just as he drew his revolver and fired at her. The shot just narrowly missed her. but she did
 
 fired the rife in turn and the man fell
 A little shudder ran over her She had killed man. But the firing out side grew fiercer. She had no time to think. She stepped over the body. her face averted. and ran out. There she could see Del Mar and his men.
 We cant beat them: they are too many for us, muttered Del Mar. Well have to get away if we can. Into the submarine," re ordered
 Hastily they began to pile into the open hatch.
 Just as Del Mar started to follow them. he caught sight of Elaine run ming out of the office Almost in one leap he was at her side. Before she could raised her rife and fire he had seized 1t She managed. however.

The torpedo fell. sank. bobbed u, then ran along just under the surface Already I was somewhat familiar with the wireless device that controlled it, so that while Burnside steadied the aircraft I could direct it. as he coached me.
 The submarine saw it coming now But 1t was too late It could not turn; it could not submerge in time.
 terrific explosion followed as the torpedo came in contact with the boat throwing a column of water high in the air yawning hole was blown in the very side of the submarine. One could see the water rush In. Inside. Del Mar and his men ware now panic stricken. iSGme ol them desperately tried to plug the hole. nut it was hoIeless. Others fell, faint ing. from the poisonous gases that were developed.
 Of them all, Del Mars was the only cool head
 He realized that all was over There was nothing left to do but what other submarine heroes had done in better causes. He seized piece of paper and hastily wrote
 Tell my emperor I failed only be- cause Craig Kennedy was against me
 Del Mar He had barely time to place the message in a metal float nearby. Down the submarine, now full of water, sank
 With his last strength he flung the message clear of the wreckage as 1t settled on the mud on the bottom of the bay
 Burnside and l could but stare in grim satisfaction at the end of the enemy of ourselves and our country.
 
 Tp the hillside plodded Professor Arnold still in his wild disguise as the hermit. Now and then he turned and cast an anxious glance out over the bay at the fast disappearing periscope of the submarine.
 Once he paused. That was when he saw the hydro.aeroplane with Burn side and myself carrying the wireless torpedo.
 Again he paused as he plodded up. this time with gasp of extreme sat isfaction. He had seen the water spout and heard the explosion that marked the debacle of Del Mar
 The torpedo had worked. The most dangerous foreign agent of the coali- tion of Americas enemies was dead. and his secrets had gone with him to the bottom of the sea. Perhaps no one would ever know what the nation had been spared
 He did not pause long, now. More eagerly he plodded up the hill. until he came to the hut.
 He pushed open the door. There lay Elaine. still bound. Quickly he cut the cords and tore the gag from her mouth.
 AS he did so. his own beard feA off. He was no longer the hermit. Nor was he what I myself had thought him, Arnold

 Kennedy said not a word as he grasped her two hands

 Kennedy said nothing. His heart was too happy.
 Yes" he said simply, as he gazed deeply into her great eyes, my worh on the case is done''

THlRTY-SIXTH EPISODE
THE KENNEDY WIRELESS TOR.
 PEDO.

Half carrying, half forcing Elaine down into the water. Del Mar and his two men. all four of the party clad fin the outlandish submarine suits, bore the poor girl literally along the bottom of the bay until they reached point which they knew to be directly under the entrance to the secret submarine harbor.
 Del Mars mind was working fe- yerishly. Though he now had in his power the girl he both loved and also feared as the stumbling block in the execution of his nefarious plans against America. he realized that in getting her he had been forced 10 be- tray the precious secret Of the har- Dor itself
 At the point where he knew that tho harbor was above him. hidden safely beneath the promoutory, he took from under bis arm float which he released Upward 1t shot through tho water.
 Above. In the harbor. a number of his men were either on guard or loung, ing about.
 "A signal from the chief" cried sentry. pointing to the float as 1t bobbed up.
 Kick oH the lead shoes" signaled Del Mar 10 the others. under the water.
 They did so and rose slowly to the surface. carrying Elaine up with them. The men at the surface were waiting for them and helped 10 pull Del Mar and his companions out of the water. Come into the office. right away" beckoned Del Mar anxiously. removing his helmet and leading the way.
 In the office. the others removed their helmets. while Del Mar took the headgear on Elaine. She stared about her bewildered.
 Where am I?" she demanded.
 "A woman!" exclaimed the men in the harbor fin surprise.
 Never mind where you are" growled Del Mar. plainly worried Then to the men. he added. We cant stay any longer The harbor is dis covered. Get ready to leave imme- diately."
 Immediately there was a general scramble to make ready for the es- cape.
 In the corner of the office. Elaine, again in her skirt and shirtwaist which the diving suit had protected. sat open-eyed watching the prepara- tions of the men for the nasty depar- ture. Some had been detailed to get the rifles which they handed around to those as yet unarmed. Del Mar took one as well as cartridge belt.
 Guard her." he shouted 10 one man indicating Elaine. and if she gets away this time. I'll shoot you"
 Then he led the others down the ledge until he came to a submarine boat. The rest followed. still making preparations for hasty flight.
 
 Woodward along with Professor Ar mold. in his disguise as hermit, stood for moment surrounded by the soldiers. after the disappearance of Elaine and Dol Mar in the water.

 Hastily he wrote a note on a piece of paper.

 II see it." returned Burnside a mo. ment later catching with his naked eye the thin line of foam on the water left by the periscope Would you mind getting that torpedo ready?" he continued. I'll tell you just what to do. They'll try to duck as soon as Il see us, but it won't be any use.

Elaine sat in a corner of the office, mute. while the man who was guard ing her, heavily armed. paced up and down.
 Suddenly an overwhelming desire came over her to attempt an escape. But no sooner had she made a motion as though to run through the door, than the man seized her and drove her back to her corner.
