boldly. as yet unhit. They rushed In
after him, in spite of his running fir,.

the tunnel entrance through which he

From our end Of the ravine we could

We made our way quickly to IL and II
seemed as II we had our man trapped
like a rat in hole.

at his puisuers as he ran along the board
walk for our end lie looked up Just in
time as he approached us. There he
could see Price and his cavalrymen
waiting, cutting off retreat We were
too many for him. lie turned and took
a step back. There were Arnold and
Woodward with leveled guns peering in
as though they could not see very clearly.
u a moment their eyes would become
! scustomed as his to the darkness. What
hould he do? There was not a second
TO waste. He looked down at the planks
beneath him and tho black water slipping
past on its way to the power station.
1t was a desperate chance. But It was
all that was left. He dropped down and
let himself without a splash into the
water.
Arnold and Woodward took q step into
the darkness, scarcely knowing what to
expect. their eyes a bit better accustomed
to the dusk. But II they had been there
an hour. In all probability they could not
have seen what was at their very feet.
Del Mar had sunk and was swimming
under water in the swift black current
sweeping under them. As they entered,
he passed out, nerved up to desperation.
Down the stream, just before It took its
final plunge to the power wheel Del Mar
managed by Superhuman effort to reach
out and grasp a wooden support of the
flooring again and pull himself out of the
stream. Smiling grimly TO himself. he
hurried up the bank.
Some ones coming" whispered Price.

We leyeled our guns. I was about to

and seeing us.

advancing toward the professor.
Apparently he neither heard nor saw

bungalow
See what I found" he cried, breath
lessly. bursting in on Del Mar who was
seated at his desk. having returned from
the harbor.
Del Mar read It with a scowl of fury.
Then he seized his hat and a short
hunters axe and disappeared through
the panel Into the subterranean passage
which took him by the shortest cut
through the very hill to the shore.
Slowly Arnold and Woodward made
their way along the shore, carefully
searching for the spot where they had
seen the house with the aerial At last
they came to place where they could
see the deserted house, far upon the side
OF ravine above a river and a water
fall. They dived into the thick under
brush for cever and went up the hill.
Some distance off from the house. they
parted the bushes and gazed off across
an open space at the ra1nshackle build
Ing. As they looked they could see a man
hurry across from the opposite direction
and into the house.
muttered Arnold.
Woodward nodded, doubtfully, though.
In the house. Del Mar hurried to a well
where he found and pressed a concealed
spring. A small cabinet in the plaster
opened and he took out little telephone
winch he rang and through which he
spoke hastily. Pull in the wires" he
shouted. We're discovered, 1 think"
Down In the wireless station in the
cave. the operator at his instrument heard
the signal of the telephone and quickly
answered it. "All right. sir" he returned
with look of great excitement and
anxiety. "Cut the wires and I'll pull
them in"
Putting back the telephone. Del Mar ran
T. the window and looked out between
the slats of the closed blinds. "Confound
theml" he muttered angrily.
He could see Arnold and Woodward
cautiously approaching A moment later
he stepped back and pulled a silk mask
over his upper face, leaving only his eyes
visible. Then he seized his hunters AK
and dashed up the stairs. Through the
scutte Of the roof he came. making his
way over TO the chimney. to which the
wireless antennae were fastened.
Hastily he cut the wires which ran
through the roof from the aerial. AS he
did so he saw them disappear throuah

Elaine changed her clothes quickly.
Meanwhile she had ordered horses for
both OF us, and groom brought them
around from the stables. It took me
only a short time to jump into some dry
things and I waited impatiently.
She was ready very soon, however. and
we mounted and cantered off, again in
the direction of the shore where she
had seen the remarkable waterfall. OF
which she had told me.
We had not gone far when we heard
sounds, as II an army were bearing down
on us. whats THAR? 1 asked.
Elaine turned and looked. 1t was a.

squad.
A moment later Captain Price pulled
up and bowed. Quickly we told him OF

"Ry all means" he returned. ct was
about to suggest It myself"
We fell in behind with the rest and
were off again
Under the direction Of the sailor we
came at last to the ravine, where we
looked about searchingly for some trace
of Arnold and Woodward.
What's that noise7" exclaimed one Of
the cavalrymen.
We could hear shots above u.

1t was impossible to ride up the sheer

His men Jumped down and we followed
him. Elaine struggled up now, helped

Further down the hill from the de.
serted house, which we could see above
us at the top. was an underground pas.
sage which had been built to divert part
OF the water above the falls for power.

But from their position they could see
nothing. Together they drew their guns
and advanced more cautiously at the
house
Del Mar made his way back quickly
over the roof. back through the scuttle
and down the stairs again Should he
go out? lie looked out Of the window.
Then he went to the door. An instant he
raised, ready for blow.
Arnold and Woodward by this time, had
reached the door, which swung open on
its hinges. Woodward was about to go
in when he felt hand on his arm.
Wait" cautioned Arnold. He took off
his hat and damned It on the end of a
stick. Slowly he showed the door open.
then thrust the hat and stick just a
fraction Of foot forward.
Del Mar. waiting. alert saw the door
open and a hat. He struck at It hard
with the ak and merely the hat and
stick fell to the floor.
Now come on" shouted Arnold 70

In the other hand. Del Mar held n
chair. AS Woodward dashed IN with
Arnold beside him, Del Mar SHE'D the
chair at their feet. Woodward fell over
It in a heap and as he did so the delay
was all that Del Mar had hoped to gain.
without seconds hesitation he dived
through an open window, Just as Arnold
ran forward. avoiding Woodward and the
chair. 1t was spectacular. but 1t worked.
Arnold fired, but even that was not
quick enough. He turned and with
Woodward, who had picked himself up in
spite Of his bnrked shins. they ran
back through the door by which they
had entered.
Recovering himself. Del Mar dashed for
the woods Just as Arnold and Woodward
ran around the side OF the house. still
blazing away after him, as they followed,
rapidly gaining.
