is warned by little old man to be care
full of Del Mar. This warning came just
in time to prevent Del Mar from carry
ing out his plans.
Later Elaine gives a masquerade ball.
Del Mar attends. Neither he nor ms

gray friar warns Elaine and Jameson of
Del Mars purpose, and his plans are up

torpedo in the attic, places it in trunk,

Upon Elane's arrival in the country she

follows in which the old man destroys
the torpedo. That afternoon as Elaine

country Del Mar plans to blow up a
bridge at time when they are crossing:
He would have succeeded but the old
man unexpectedly appears and delays the
explosion just long enough to permit
