THlRTY.SlXTH EPISODE
THE KENNEDY WIRELESS TOR.
PEDo.

2 Half carrying. half forcing Elaine
down into the water, Del Mar and his
two men. all four OF the party clad
In the cutlandish submarine suits, bore
the poor girl literally along the bottom
of the bay until they reached n point
which they knew to be directly under
the entrance to the secret submarine
harbor.
Del Mars mind was working 70.
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 10 be.
tray the precious secret of the har.
Dor itself.
At the point where he knew that
the harbJr was above him. hidden
safely beneath the p~romontory. he
took from under his arm n float which
he released. Upward 1t shot through
the water.
Above. In the harbor. n number OF
his men were either on guard or loung.
ing about.
"A signal from the chief" cried n
sentry, pointing to the float as II
bobbed up.
Kick or the lead shoes" signaled
Del Mar to the others, under the
water.
They did so and rose slowly 10 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 a~nxiously, removing
his helmet and leading the way.
In the office. the others removed
their helmets, while Del Mar took the
h~eadgear of 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 10 the men, he added. 1--WE can't
stay any longer. The harbor Ia dis
covered. Get ready to leave imme-
diately."
Immediately there was a general
scramble to make ready for the es'
cape.
In tho corner OF the ONCE. Elaine,
again In her skirt and shirtwaist
which the diving suit had protected,
sat open-eyed watching the prepare
tons 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 q cartridge belt.
Guard her." he shouted TO one
man indicating Elaine, and II she gets
away this time, I'll shoot you"
Then he led the others down the
ledge until he came 10 q submarine
boat. The rest followed, still making
preparations for q hasty flight.
Woodward along with Professor Ar
mold, IN his disguise as n hermit,
stood for a moment surrounded by the
soldiers, after the disappearance OF
Elaine and Del Mar In the water.
II see II all. now" cried the her
init, "the submarine. the strange dis
appearances, the messages In the wa
ter. They have n secret harbor un'
der those cliffs, with an entrance be
meath the water line"
Hastily no wrote q note on q piece
OF paper.

most to the water. The torpedo fell,

device that controlled It. 70 that while
Burnside steadied the aircraft | could
direct II. as he coached me-.
The submarine saw II coming TOY
But II was too late. II could not turn;
1t could not submerge in time.
A terrific explosion followed as the
torpedo came In contact with the boat,
throwing n column OF water high In
the air. A ~yawning hole was blown
in the very side OF the submarine.
One could see the water rush In.
Inside. Del Mar and his men were
now panic.stricken. Some Of them
desperately tried TO plug the hole.
But II was hopeless. Others fell. faint.
ing. from the poisonous gases hat
were developed.
OF them all, Del Mars was the only
cool head.
He realized that all was over.
There was nothing left to do but what
other submarine heroes had done In
better causes. lie seized a piece OF
paper and hastily wrote:

Del Mar.
He had barely time TO place tho
message in n metal float nearby.
Down the submarine. now full OF
water. sank.
With his last strength he flung the
message clear OF the wreckage as II
settled on the mud on the bottom OF
the bay.
Burnside and I could but stare in
grim satisfaction ut the end OF the
enemy OF ourselves and our country.
Up the hillside plodded Professor
Arnold still In his wild disguise as tho
hermit. Now and then he turned and
cast an anxious glance out over the
bay at the fast disappearing periscope
OF the submarine.
Once he paused. That was when he
saw the hydro.aeroplane with Burn.
side and myself carrying the wireless
torpedo.
Again he paused as he plodded ut.
this time with q gasp OF extreme sat
lsfaction. He had seer the water
spout and heard the explosion that
marked the debacle OF Del Mar.
The torpedo had worked. The most
dangerous foreign agent OF the coali-
tion of Americas enemies was dead.
and his secrets had gono with him to
the bottom OF the sea. Perhaps no
ona would ever know what the nation
had been spared.
He did not pause long. now. More
eagerly he plodded up the hill. until he
came TO the hut.
He pushed open the door. There
lay Elaine, still bound. Quickly he
cut the cords and tore the gag from
her mouth.
As he did 30. his own beard fell on.
He was no longer the hermit Nor
was he what l myself haa thought
him. Arnold.
"craig!" cried Elaine In eager sur
prise.
Kennedy said not q word as he
grasped her two hands.
And you were always around "a.
protecting Walter and me-" she half
laughed. half cried Historically. II
knew tt knew it!"
Kennedy said nothing. His heart
wal too happy.
"Yes." he said simply. as he gaxed
deeply into her great eyes. my work
on the case IL done"

Suddenly an overwhelming desire
came over her to attempt an escape.
But no sooner had she made a motion
as though to run through the door.
than the man seized her and drove her

Del Mar to several OF the men. II
