Fire Department TO
Give New Years Ball

The old year will pass out and
the new year will be ushered in in
Idaho Springs by a grand ball at
the Opera House under the aus
pices of the Idaho Springs fire
department.
Leach's orchestra will furnish
the music, and as the fire BOYS are
all good ticket sellers and every
one wants good time New Years
eve there is no doubt about the
success of the ball.
There promises to be quite an
exodus to Denver to see the old
year die and the metropolis dry
simultaneously but there will
probably be enough remain to

ed two years ago as head of Anti America League. ARNOLD.
 AS the message was ticked off, Ar hold attached his receiving telaphoto- graph instrument to another wire
 It was matter scarcely of seconds before a message was flashed back to Arnold from Washington:
 Martin escaped from Fort leaven- worth six months ago. Thought to be In Europe. Photograph follows. EDWARDS.
 "Vcry we'll" nodded Arnold with satisfaction. T think I know what is going on here now. Let us wait for the photograph"
 He went over to the new selenium telaphotograph and began adjusting it. Far away, in Washington, in a room in the war department where Arnold had already installed his system for the secret government service, clerk was also working over the sending part of the apparatus.
 Nc sooner had the clerk finished his preparations and placed photograph in the transmitter than the buzzing of the receiver which Arnold had in- stalled announced to him that the marvellous transmission of a picture over wire, one of the very newest triumphs of science, was in progress. In the little telegraph office of the St. Germain, the clerks and operators crowded about Arnold, watching breathlessly.
 By love, it works" cried one, no longer skeptical.
 Slowly a print was being evolved before their eyes as If by spirit hand.
 At last the transmission of the pho- tograph was completed and the ma chine came to rest Arnold almost tore the print from the receiver and held it up to examine it.
 A smile of intense satisfaction crossed his face
 At last." he muttered.
 There was photograph of the man who had been identified with the arch conspirator of two years before, Mar tin. Only, now he had changed his name and appeared in new role.
 It was Marcus Del Mar.
 
 Already, in the library of the bunga- low, Del Mar had summoned one of
The Monticellonian., 1915-11-18

his trusted men and was talking to him, when Henry, the valet, re-entered after his trip to see us.
 They're coming as soon as they can he reported.
 Del Mar smiled cynical smile. "Good'' he exclaimed triumphantly, then. looking about at the electrical fixtures, added to the man. Let us see where to install the thing
 He walked over to the door and put his hand on the knob, then pointed back at the fixtures.
 That's the idea he cried You can run the line from the brackets to this doorknob and the mat. How's that?"
 Very clever" flattered the man, putting on a heavy pair of rubber gloves.
 Taking a pair of pliers and other tools from a closet i'll the library, he began removing the electrical fixture from the wall. As Del Mar directed, the man ran wire from the fixture along the molding and down the side of door, where he made a connec- tion.
 In the meantime Del Mar brought out wire mat and laid it in front of the door where anyone who entered or left would be sure to step on it. The various connections made, the man placed a switch in the conceal ment of heavily curtained window and replaced everything as he found it.
 Thus it was that Elaine and I came at last to Del Mars bungalow, must admit, with some misgivings. Preparations for our reception had just been completed and Del Mar was issuing his final instructions to his man. when the valet, Henry, ran in | hastily.
 They're here, sir, now he an nounced excitedly.
 All right, I'm ready" nodded Del 1 Mar, turning to his man again and in- dcating place back of the folds Of the heavy curtains by the window. You get back there by that switch. Don't move-don't even breathe. Now, l Henry, let them in.' As his valet withdrew, Del Mar | gazed about his library to make sure that everything was all right. Just then the valet reappeared and ush- l cred us in
The Monticellonian., 1915-11-18

Good morning." greeted Del Mar pleasantly. T see that you got my note. and I'm glad you were so prompt. Won't you be seated?'
 I've something at last to report to you about Kennedy he said a mo- ment later, clearing his throat.
 
 Aunt Josephine turned from us as Elaine and l rode off on our horses from Dodge hall, considerably wor- ried.
 Then an idea seemed to occur to her and she walked determinedly into the house.
 Jennings she called to the butler have the limousine brought around from the garage immediately"
 Yes, ma 'am," acquiesced the faith full Jennings. hurrying out
 It was only few minutes later that the car pulled around before the door Aunt Josephine hustled out and en tered.
 Fort Dale" she directed the driver greatly agitated. Ask for Lieutenant Woodward"
 Out at Fort Dale, Woodward was much astonished when an orderly an. nounced that Aunt Josephine was waiting in her car to see him on very urgent business. He ordered that she be admitted at once.
 T hope there's nothing wrong?' he inquired anxiously, as he noted the excitement and the worried look on her face.
 I'm afraid there may be-" she replied, sitting down and explaining what Elaine and I had done.
 The lieutenant listened gravely.
 And she concluded, they wouldn't listen to me, lieutenant Cant you follow them and keep them out of trouble?'
 Woodward, who had been listening to her attentively, jumped up as she concluded. "Yes," he cried, sympa- thetically, q can. I'll go myself with some of the men from the post If they get into any scrape. I'll rescue them"
 Almost before she could thank him Woodward had hurried from his office followed by her. On the parade grounds were some men. Quickly he issued his orders and a number of them sprang up as he detailed them off for duty. It was only moment
The Monticellonian., 1915-11-18

ders were to seize anyone entering or leaving
 Protests were in vain. The hermit was forced to go before Lieutenant Woodward who was just in the rear directing the advance. Well" demapded Woodward, what's your business?" For an instant the hermit stood mute. What should he do? He has reason to know that the situation must be urgent. Slowly he raised his beard so that Woodward could see not only that it was false but what his features looked like
 "Arnold," gasped Woodward, star tied. What brings you here? Elaine and Jameson are in the house. We have it surrounded
 Half an hour before, in the St Ger main, Arnold had no sooner received the telaphotograph than he hurried up to his room. From a closet ne had produced another of his numerous dis guises and quickly put it on. With scant white locks falling over his shoulders and long scraggly heard he had made himself into veritable wild man. Then he had put on the finishing touches and had made his way toward Del Mars. A look of intense anxiety now flashed over Arnold's face as he heard Woodward's s words.
 But" he cried, there is an under ground passage from the house to the shore."
 .The deucet" muttered Woodward. more alarmed now than ever. Come. men-to the house." he shouted out
The Monticellonian., 1915-11-18

his orders as they passed them around the line Arnold, lead the way,"
 Together the soldier and the strange figure rushed to the front door of the bungalow. All was still inside. Heavy as it was, they broke it down and burst in
 Walter, there's Waltert" cried Woodward as he saw me lying on the floor of the study when they ran in
 They hurried to me and. as quickly as they could, started to bring me around
 Where's Elaine?" asked the strange figure of the hermit.
 Weakly, I was able only to point to the panel. But it was enough The soldiers understood They dashed for it, looking for button or an opening Finding neither, they started to bang on it and batter it in with the butts of their guns It was only seconds before 1t was splintered to kindling. There was the passage. Instantly Woodward, the hermit, and the rest plunged into it utterly regardless of danger. On through the tunnel they went until at last they came, unmolested, to the end. There they paused to look about
 The hermit pointed to the ground Clearly there were footprints, leading to the shore. They followed them on down to the beach.
 Look" pointed the hermit.
 Off in the water they could now see the most curious of sights Four strangely helmeted creatures were wading out, each like a huge octopus head, without tentacles.
 Only few seconds before Del Mar and his companions, carrying Elaine. had emerged from the secret entrance of the tunnel and had dashed for the shore of the promontory.
 Stopping only an instant to consid- CT what was to be done, Del Mar had seen someone also emerge from the tunnel
 "Come-we must get down there quickly he shouted, hurriedly issu- ing orders. as all three, carrying Elaine, waded out into the water.
 At sight of the strange figures, the soldiers raised their guns and a vol ley of shot rang out
 Stop" shouted the hermit, his hair streaming wildly as he ran before the guns and threw up as many as he could grasp with his outstretched arms. Do you want to kill herr"
 Herr" repeated Woodward.
 All stood there, wonderingly, gazing at the queer creatures. | What did It mean?"
 Slowly, they isappeared-literally under the water. 1 They were gone-with Elaine! (TO BE CONTINUED
