SYNOPSIS.

After the finding of WI Fang's body and
Keunedy's disappearance, a submarine ap-
pears the following morning on the bay
A man plunges overheard from 1t anu
swims ashore. 1t is the entrance OF Mar
Gus Del Mar into America. His MISSION
is to obtain information of Kennedy ana
recover, if possible, the lost torpedo. Al
the Dodge home he soon wins the conn
dence of Elaine. Later she IS warned by
a little old man to be careful of Del Mar
This warning came just In time to pre-
vent Del Mar from carrying out his plans.
Elaine gives masquerade ball. Del Mar
attends Neither he nor his domino girl
can locate the torpedo. A gray frlar warns
Elaine and Jameson of Del Mars purpose,
and his plans are upset. The girl enters
the Dodge home as maid; finds the tor
pedo, places it in a trunk, which with 9TH
ers is sent to the Dodge country home.
In a holdup Del Mars men fail to get
the trunk Containing the torpedo. Elaine
hides the torpedo, which later is stolen by
Del Mars men, who in escaping meet the
old man Of mystery. A desperate battle
follows, in which the old man destroys
the torpedo. jameson is captured by Del
Mars men while on his way to mail
letter to the U. S. secret service. Elaine
rescues him. Lieutenant Woodward and
his friend attend a party given at the
Dodge home, at which Del Mar is pres
ent. Unknowingly Del Mar drops note
which gives Elaine a clue. In her attempt
to prevent his cutting the Atlantic cable
she is discovered and made prisoner
on the boat, which afterwards is wrecked
by Woodward and the old man of mys-
terry. Jameson arrives in a hydo-aero-
plane just in time to save Elaine from
drowning

Meanwhile, back of that wall OF wa
ter, the wireless operator in the cave
was sending the messages which Del
Mars emissary dictated to him, one
after another.
With the high resistance receiving
apparatus over his head, Arnold was
listening to the wireless signals that
came over his "radio detective" on the
yacht, moving the slider back and
forth on a sort of tuning coil, as he
listened Woodward stood close be-
side him.
CAS- you know" Arnold remarked,
"by the use of an aerial, messages
may be easily received from any num-
Der of stations. In other words, this
is eavesdropping by wireless wire
Taper"
"Are you getting anything now?"
asked Woodward.
Arnold nodded, as he seized a pencil
and started to write. The lieutenant
bent forward in tense interest. Finally
Arnold read what he had written and
with a peculiar quiet smile handed it
over.
Woodward read. It was senseless
tumble of dots and dashes of the Morse
code but, although he was familiar
with the code, he could make nothing
out of it.
TITS the Morse code all right" he
said, handing it back with a puzzled
look, "but it doesn't make any sense
Arnold smiled again, took the paper,
and without word wrote on it some
n.ore. Then he handed it back to
Woodward. "'An old trick" he said.
Reverse the dots and dashes and see
what you get"
Woodward looked at it, as Arnold
had reversed it and his face lighted
up.
''Harbor successfully mined" he
quoted in surprise.
"I'll show you another thing about
this radio detective of mine," went on
Arnold energetically. Its not only a
wave length measurer, but by
process of my own l can determine
approximately the distance between

of MESSAGE
He attached another, smaller ma
chine to the wireless detector. In the
face was a moving finger which swung
over dial marked off in miles from
one upward. AS Arnold adjusted the
new detector, the hand began to move
slowly. Woodward looked eagerly. 1t
did not move far, but came to rest
above the figure '2.'
mot so very far away, you see,
lieutenant" remarked Arnold, pointing
to the dial face.
He seized his glass and hurried to
the deck, leveling it at the shore and
leaning far over the rail in his eager
ness. AS he swept the shore, he
stopped suddenly. There was house
roof among the trees with a wireless
aerial fastened to the chimney, but
not quite concealed by the dense foil
age.
Look" he cried to Woodward, with
an exclamation of satisfaction, hand
ing over the glass.
Woodward looked "a secret wire
less station, all right" he agreed, low
ering the glass after long look.
WED better get over there right
away" planned Arnold, leading the
way to the ladder over the side of the
yacht, and calling to the sailor who
had managed the little motor boat to
follow him.
Quickly they skinned across to the
shore. 4 think we'd better send to
the fort for some men," considered
Arnold as they landed I'VE may need
re-enforcements before we get
through
Woodward nodded and Arnold hast
lily wrote a note on a rather large
scrap Of paper which he happened to
have in his pocket.
Take this to Colonel Swift at Fort
Dale he directed the sailor. "And
hurry"
The sailor loped Off, half on a run,
as Arnold and Woodward left down
the shore, proceeding carefully.
At top speed. Arnold's sailor made

Elaine cautiously came from behind
a. rock where she had hidden herself
and seeing no one apparently watch
ing, now, advanced until she stood di-
rsctly under the trickle of water which
had once been the falls. She gazed
into the cave, curiously uncertain
whether she dared to go in alone or
not.
The emissary jerked fiercely at the
lever as he saw Elaine.
Above the falls a dam had been
built and by a system of levers the
gates could be operated SO that the
or diverted away, at will. AS the man
pressed the lever the flood gates
worked quickly.
Elaine stood gazing eagerly into the
blackness of the cave. Just then a
great volume of water from above
crashed down on her, with almost
crushing weight.
How she lived through it she never
knew. But, fortunately, she had not
gone quite far enough to get the full
force of the water. Still, the terrific
flood easily overcame her.
She was swept, screaming, down the
stream.
Rather alarmed at the strange dis
appearance of Elaine after I brought
her home, I had started out along the
road to the shore to look for her,
thinking that she might perhaps have
returned there.
AS I walked along young tough
at least at the time I thought it was
young tough, so good was the disguise
she had assumed, and so we'll did she
carry it off-slouched past me.
Great Caesar I muttered to my
self, chats a roughneck. This place
is sure getting to be a hangout for
gunner"
I shrugged my shoulders and con-
tinued my walk. 1t was no business
of mine. Finding no trace of Elaine.

phine was in the library, alone.

Somehow, felt, didn't seem to get
on we'll as a detective without Ken
nedy. Yet, SO far, kind providence
seemed to have watched over us. Was
it because we were children-or-I
rejected that alternative
Walking along leisurely l made my
way down to the shore. At a bridge
that crossed a rather turbulent stream
as it tumbled it's way toward the sea,
l paused and looked at the water re-
f1ectively.
Suddenly my vagrant interest was
aroused. Up the stream l saw some
one struggling in the water and shout
ing for help as the current carried her
along, screaming.
1t was Elaine. The hat and mus
tache Of her disguise were gone and
her beautiful Titan hair was spread
out on the water as it carried her now
this way, now that, while she struck
out with all her strength to keep
a1oat. l did not stop to think how or
why she was there. I swung over the
bridge rail, stripping off my coat
ready to dive. On she came with the
swift current to the BRIDGE AS she
approached I dived. 1t was not a min
ute too soon. In her struggles she had
become thoroughly exhausted. She
was good swimmer, but the fight
With nature was unequal.
l reached her in a second or two and
took her hand. Half pulling, half shov-
ing her, I struck out for the shore.
We managed to make it together
where the current was not quite so
strong, and climbed safely up a rock
Elaine sank down, choking and gasp
ing, not unconscious, but pretty much
all in and exhausted. I looked at her
in amazement.
"Why, where in the world did you
get these togs?" queried.
Never mind my clothes, Walter"
she gasped. 'Take me home for some
dry ones. I have clue"
She rose, determined to shake off
the effects of her recent plunge and
went toward the house. AS 1 helped
her she related breathlessly what she
had just seen

HEATING is MADE
CHILD CHAMPION
National Commission Places Duty


Upon Congressman From Pueblo.
The honor of conducting the cam
paign for a national child labor law
in the house of representatives has
been conferred upon Congressman
Edward Keating of Pueblo. He was
selected for this duty by the national
child labor commission, which re-
Gently met in Los Angeles. In the
senate the cause will be espoused by
Senator Owen of Oklahoma.
A bill similar to the Palmer bill,
which was introduced in the last con-
gress, will be championed in the ma
tional congress again at the ensuing
session. Congressman Palmer's term
having expired, the promoters of the
child labor bill sounded about for a
new house leader and settled upon
keating, who in the last session was
active in the bills behalf.
The congressman also recently has
received an invitation from Mrs. Car
rie Chapman Gait of New York, cele-
brated suffrage leader, to come to
that state and make fourteen speech
es in behalf of the campaign to carry
New York for woman's suffrage this
fall. The woman's suffrage activities
this fall center on the campaigns in
New York, Pennsylvania and Massa-
chusetts.
Mrs. Gait writes that the success
of woman suffrage in Colorado is to
be one of the important issues in the
campaign in the three New England
states and the leaders are desirous of
getting first hand information on the
operation of votes for women" in
Colorado, one of the first states to
adopt woman's suffrage.

THE DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards. Sept.
27.-Receipts of cattle on the Denver
market last week were fairly liberal
and there was a good trade. Prices
were little lower early in the week.
but at the close the market firmed
up considerably and prices were 10c
| to 15c higher at the close than the
proceeding week on the best cattle,
and steady on others. Today the
largest run of the season showed up,
total supply being 5000 head. Prices
were weak to dime lower, but de-
mand good and trade active at the
prices.
Good beef steers are bringing $6.75
to s7.25, and choice kinds up to
$3.50. Cows are selling at $3.50 to
1925 for the good killers, and choice
heifers up to $3.50. Fair cows are
selling at SIS to $3.50. Bulls are
bringing $475 to $5.25, and veal
calves So to $9.950. Feeder and
stocker trade was fairly active. To-
day good many country buyers
were here and the market was brisk.
Good to choice steers are bringing
$3.50 to $7.25, and fair steers are
selling at Sc to $3.50. Some extra
choice young steers sold last week
at $7.40 and $3.50. Indications
point to a big feeder demand here
from this time forward
Hog demand is good and prices
| firm to higher than week ago
Good hogs are now selling here from
$40 to s7.S5 and palmer kinds
down to $3.50. Good light hogs
have the best call. Big shipments
are now being received on this mar
ket from Idaho points and also very
coed supplies from Colorado and
Wyoming points.
| Sheep demand was good all week
and prices are about a quarter higher
than week ago. Good fat lambs
sold up to 1915 freight paid, and
good ewes up to $5.25. Feeding
lambs sold at $7.25 to So freight
paid, according to the quality. The
demand for fat sheep and lambs is
strong and packers are taking every
thing coming. The inquiry for feed
ers is also very strong. One ship
ment went to New York state last
week Another to feed lots in Cen
trail Ohio today. Feeders of Kansas,
Nebraska, Missouri Iowa, Colorado
and other western states are buying
literally here and Denver is enjoying
the largest sheep trade in her history.

OBSERVE STATE LAW
KEEP OUT CHOLERA

When the season of year is at
hand for the farmers and feeders to
purchase their hogs, then comes the
great danger OF importing diseased
stock.
This district is happily free from
cholera at this time thru the vigilant
work OF the Monte Vista Hog Grow
ers' Association and the farms and
feed lots are wholesome and sani
tary from the splendid cooperation
between the hog growers and the
Association veterinary.
To casual observer this might
appear as natural condition, but
an inquiry into the facts would dis
close a well directed campaign by
mutual association OF farmers and
business men, conducted to sue
cessful issue. From the initial and
aggressive policy against hog dis
eases. which had gained a foothold
and threatened to destroy the hog
growing industry in this valley, the
association Is now enabled to direct
its whole attention to precautionary
measures and enforcing the quaran-
tine.
The association members are loyal
and give their whole-soulcd support
to the maintenance of the organi2a-
tion so that preparedness" to com
bat any emergency is the watch word.
In this connection the state law re-
garding the movements of hogs, par
ticularly sections Z and s, is of time
ly Importance and is cited below:
AN ACT
To regulate the importation of hogs
into the State of Colorado. and
their movement within the state.
excepting those for immediate
slaughter, providing for the clean

for violating same.
Section 7. All hogs except those
for immediate slaughter, which are
being shipped from one section or
portion of the State of Colorado.
when passing through public stock
yards, or market centers, shall be
treated and handled as an interstate
shipment as specified in this act;
and 1t shall be unlawful for any cor
poration, co-partnership, company,
association, person or persons, to
drive or cause to be driven upon any
public highway, any hogs known to
be affected with hog cholera or that
have within ten t10) days been ex-
posed to hog cholera or other con
tagious or infectious disease.
SeAon s. All hogs, except those
for Wnediate slaughter upon ar
rival at destination. shall be kept in
some clean and disinfected place
away from all other hogs for a per-
iod OF eighteen (1S) days from the
date of arrival at destination, and
the State Veterinary Surgeon shall
be notified by the owner or conslgr ee
of such date of arrival and the date
OF releasing said hogs from confine-
ment.

NEW YORK, Jan, Songs may.
come and songs may go, but some
songs go on forever, One OF the efor-
ever" appears to be Dixie. Once
appropriate to the service OF the con-
federacy as a battle song, its use and
popularity are now national in fact,
one hears it the world over Few
know the words OF Dixie yet so con-
tagiously pleasing Is its music that
II has become q song without words
Of universal appeal,
Many stories are related, with more
or less authority by the tellers as to
how the song came to be composed
and as to the origin and significance
of the word, ,sDixie. : There Is, how
ever, no doubtEas to It's authorship.
1T was written by Daniel Decatur EN-
nett in 1853 while he was d mem
Der Of Bryant's Minstrels, whose thea
ter was at 472 Broadway.
The story of how it came ITO be
written was often told by Emmett.
Under his contract he was Obliged,
Whenever called upon, to compose a
now walk around" to be sung at the
close of each performance. 1t was
on one of these occasions that he
wrote Dixie very short notice,
he said. 1t was first sung as extant
programmes. show, on September IL,
1859 4 A program Of that date reads:
The performance to conclude with
Dan Emmett's original plantation
song and dance, sDixie's Land, intro
ducing the whole troop in their fes-
Itiyal dance.
Origin Of Word ssDixies
AS to the origin and ssignificance OF
the word Dixie Mr.. Emmett said
that it was suggested to him in this
way: AS soon as cold, wintry wealth

his company would wish themselves
