THIRTlETH EPISODE
BEHIND THE WATER DOOR.

Dol Mar made his way cautiously
along the bank Of little river at the
mouth of which he left the boat, after
escaping from the little steamer.
Quite evidently he was worried by
the failure to cut the great Atlantic
cable. and he was eager to see wheth.
or any leak had occurred in the or.
ganixation which, as secret foreign
agent, he had 30 carefully built up In
America.
As he skirted the shore of the
river. he came to q falls. Here he
moved even more cautiously than be.

that no one had followed him.

Assured that he was alone, he ap.

lever.
Instantly most marvellous change
took place, incredible almost beyond
belief. The volume of water that came
over the falls actually and rapidly de-
creased until 1t almost stopped, drip

Del Mar walked In. Inside was the
entrance to another, inner cave. high

that the waters had eroded. From the
door to this entrance led a ladder.
Del Mar climbed It, then stopped Just
inside the entrance to the inner cave.
For . moment he paused. Then he
pressed another lever. Almost imme-

had she changed her clothes for dry

THE ROYAL ewENT SINGERS.
Synopsis Of Its Foundation and Its
Glorious Record.


The fame OF Welsh choral singing
became world wide, when in 1872 a
mixed choir consisting mainly of
Welsh village folk. under the leader
ship of Caradog (Griffith Rhys Jones),
Won the Crystal Palace Company
$500 challenge trophy and a cash
prize of $500. This fame was enhanced
in the following year. when the same
choir under the same leader again
won the trophy, beating the London
choir, known then as the Paris Prize
Choir. under the leadership Of Mr..
Proudman. The sons Of the principal
ity have ever since maintained the
established and set by the Crystal
Palace victories
OF all the Welsh musical organiza-
tions. the Royal event Welsh Singers
has been the first and foremost. not
only to maintain the fame, but to set
a standard to Welsh or any other;
choral singing that has never vet been
excelled
The visits Of the Royal Gwent Welsh
Singers is by no means a new venture.
Indeed. it is now matter of history.
Americans were first thrilled by these
singers from the land of song as early
as 1898, when two Welsh choruses
from Wales won first prizes at the
worlds fair, Chicago. The Royal
Gwent Welsh Singers 4stands-aTid
sings-before the world today as the
unsurpassed organization Of its kind,
and. incidentally. as the standard
bearer thru all lands of the superior
ity OF the Welsh nation as a nation Of
singers. 1t would be difficult task,
indeed. to analyze this fact, but It can
be realized more easily by attending
their concert at the Odednn on next Fri
day evening. Odeon
