THIRTY-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
in the outlandish submarine suits, bore
the poor girl literally along the bottom
Of the bay until they reached a point
which they knew to be directly under
the entrance to the secret submarine
harbor.
Del Mars mind was working fe-
verishly. 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 to be-
tray the precious secret of the har-
Dor itself.
At the point where he knew that
the harbor was above him, hidden
safely beneath the promontory, he
took from under his arm a float which
he released. Upward it shot through
the water.
Above, in the harbor, a number of
his men were either on guard or loung-
ing about.
"a signal from the chief" cried a
sentry, pointing to the float as it
bobbed up.
kick off the lead Shoes" signaled
Del Mar to 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 to 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 Off Elaine. She stared about
her bewildered.
where am II" she demanded.
"a woman!' exclaimed the men in
the harbor in surprise.
"Never mind where you are,'
growled Del Mar, plainly worried.
Then to the men, he added. eve can't
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 hasty depar-
ture. Some had been detailed to get
the rifles which they handed around to
those as yet unarmed. Del Mar took
one as we'll as a cartridge belt.
Guard her." he shouted to 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.
y
Woodward along with Professor Ar
mold, in his disguise as a hermit,
stood for a moment surrounded by the
soldiers, after the disappearance of
Elaine and Del Mar in the water.

nit, "the submarine, the strange dis

it to Woodward to read:

WARSHlP GUNS TO GET
80 DEGREE ELEVATION

Washington, d. c., Aug. 28.-
Main batteries of American battle
ships hereafter will be given an ele-
walton of 80 degrees, virtually
doubling the present angle of fire,
according to a decision reached by
Navy Department experts after close
study, it is said, Of all available in
formation on naval engagements Of
the European war.
The effect of the change will be to
increase materially the range of the
navyS fourteen inch guns and also
make gun fire more accurate in rough
weather. The guns now have suffi-
cient range to reach anything within
the limit of vision at sea. The added
elevation will enable them to hurl
shells at objects far beyond the hOri-
zon or over hills of considerable size
in bombarding land Notifications.
A new problem has been presented
as a result of the high angle fire, and
navy experts are studying methods
of increasing deck armOr against the
plunging fire of shells hurled from a
great distance.

GOOD ROADS HELP
TOURIST BUSINESS
Automobiles Also Are Potent
Factor in Boom in Wes-
tern Carolina
tBy the Associated Press. J

Hendersonville, Aug. 2S-The
building Of good roads and the conse-
quent universal use of automobiles
have more completely revOlutionized
the tourist business within the past
year or two in Western North Caro-
lima than any other factors intro
duced, according to old natives who
have watched the development Of
this section almost from the very be
ginning.
This almost abrupt change of con-
ditlons, which has been made pos
sible by the construction Of splendid
over which automobilists are able to
make their way to the mountains, has
undoubtedly been felt more keenly by
the railroads, street cars, boarding
houses and livery stables than by
other interests.
Autos More Used
Heretofore d family consisting Of
about half q dozen persons purchased
tickets to come by rail, but now the
family is packed away in an auto
mobile and the trip is made from
some Southern State several hundred
miles away. When the party arrives
it does not, as heretofore, seek d
| boarding house for a stay of one or
two weeks until the vacation ends,
cured at a hotel or transient boarding &
| house; the party moves about in their
| own vehicle instead Of hiring a livery
| stable rig, reviews the scenery in one
| section within q day TWO, and
moves on to the next city, whence
| similar conditions prevail. In this
wav the sta bility of the tourist busi-
ness is greatly affected, for there is
considerable shifting from one resort
| to another during a period of only
twenty-four hours, and in the long run
considerably less money is left by the
| tourists who visit Western North
| Carolina by the thousa nds during the
| summer months.
The automobile tourist business has
| worked wonders for many OF the lso-
lated places heretofore almost in
accessible by reason Of the distance
| from railroad stations and the bad
| condition Of roads through the coun
try. This truth is probably in no case
brought more forCibly to bear than i
that of Bat Cave and Chimney Rocl
sections.
