Out at Fort Dale, Woodward was

inquired a~nxiously. as he noted the

replied, sitting down and explaining
what Elaine and had done.
The lieutenant listened gravely.
"And," she concluded, they
wouldn't listen to me, lieutenant.
Can't you follow them and keep them
out of trouble?"
Woodward, who had been listening
to her attentively, jumped up as she
concluded. EYES," he cried, sympa-

before they returned, armed. An in
slant later three large touring cars
from the fort swept up before the of
fee of Woodward. Into them the
armed men piled.
"Hurry-to the Del Mar bungalow"
ordered the lieutenant, jumping up
with the driver of the first car. 1--WE
must see that nothing happens to Miss
Dodge and Mr.. Jameson"
They shot away in a cloud of dust,
followed hard by the other two cars,
dashing at a breakneck speed over
the good roads.
In the narrow, wooded roadway near
Del Mars, Woodward halted his car
and the soldiers all jumped out and
gathered about him as hastily he is
sued his directions.
Surround the house first" he or
dered. Then arrest anyone who goes
in or out"
They scattered, forming a wide cir.
Gle. AS soon as word was passed
that the circle was completed, they
advanced cautiously at a signal from
Woodward, taking advantage of ev-
cry concealment.
Around in the kitchen back of Del
Mars, Henry, the valet, had retired
to visit one of the maids. He was
about to leave when he happened to
look out of the window.
Whats that?" he muttered to him
self.
He stepped back and peered eau
tiously through the window again.
There he could see a soldier, moving
stealthily behind a bush.
He drew back further and thought a
minute. He must not alarm us.
Then he wrote a few words on a
piece of paper and tore it so that he
could hold 1t in his palm. Next he
hurried from the kitchen and entered
the study.
Del Mar had scarcely begun to out
line to us a long and circumstantial
pseudo-investigation into what he was
pleased to hint had been the death of
Kennedy, when we were interrupted
again by the entrance Of his valet.
Excuse me, sir" apologized Henry,
as Del Mar frowned, then noted that
something was wrong.

Protests were In vain. The hermit
was forced to go before Lieutenant
Woodward who was just in the rear
directing the advance.
well" demanded Woodward,
whats your ~business?"
For an instant the hermit stood
mute. What should he do? He has
reason to know that the situation
must be urgent.
Slowly he raised his beard so that
Woodward could see not only that 1t
was false but what his features looked
like.
Arnold" gasped Woodward, star
tied. What brings you here? Elaine
and jameson are in the house. We
have it surrounded"
Half an hour before, in the st. Ger
main, Arnold had no sooner received
the telaphotograph than he hurried up
to his room. From a closet he had
produced another of his numerous dis
guises and quickly put it on. With
scant white locks falling over his
shoulders and long scraggly heard he
had made himself into a veritable
wild man. Then he had put on the
finishing touches and had made his
way toward Del Mars.
A look of intense anxiety o
flashed over Arnold's face as he heard
Woodward's words.
But" he cried, there is an under
ground passage from the house to
the Shore"
"The deuce!" muttered Woodward,
more alarmed now than ever. Come,
men-to the house." he shouted out

He went v to the new selenium

Far away, In Washington, In a room
In the war department where Arnold
had already installed his system for
the secret government service, q clerk
was also working over the sending
p0At VA SAC dppdA dtuo.
No sooner had the clerk finished his
preparations and placed a photograph
in the transmitter than the buzzing OF
the receiver which Arnold had in
stalled announced to him that the
marvellous transmission of a picture
owe a wire, one Of the very newest
triumphs of science, was in progress.
In the little telegraph office of the st.
German, the clerks and operators
crowded about Arnold, watching
breathlessly.
by Jove, 1t works!" cried one, no
longer skeptical.
Slowly a print was being evolved
before their eyes as II by q spirit
hand.
At last the transmission Of the pho
tograph was completed and the ma
chine came to rest. Arnold almost
tore the print from the receiver and
held 1t up to examine it.
A smile of intense satisfaction
crossed his face.
"At Iast!" he muttered.
There was a photograph of the man
who had been identified with the arch
conspirator Of two years before, Mar
tin. Only, now he had changed his
name and appeared In a new role.
1t was Marcus Del Mar!
Already, in the library of the bunga-
low, Del Mar had summoned one of

his trusted men and was talking to
him, when Henry, the valet, re-entered
after his trip to see us.
They're coming as soon as they
can," he reported.
Del Mar smiled a cynical smile.
Good he exclaimed tr%iumphantly,
then, looking about at the electrical
fixtures, added to the man. Let us
see where to install the thing"
He walked over to the door and put
his hand on the knob, then pointed
back at the fixtures.
That's the idea," he cried. You
a run the line from the brackets to
this doorknob and the mat. How's
that?"
Very clever" fattered the man,
putting on q heavy pair of rubber
gloves.
Taking a pair of pliers and other
tools from a closet in the library, he
began removing the electrical fixture
from the wall. AS Del Mar directed,
the man ran a wire from the fixture
along the molding and down the side
of a door, where he made q connec
ton.
In the meantime, Del Mar brought
out q wire mat and laid 1t In front of
the door where anyone who entered
or left would be sure to step on 1t.
The various connections made, the
man placed q switch in the conceal
ment of q heavily curtained window
and replaced everything as he found
1t.
Thus 1t was that Elaine and / came
at last to Del Mars bungalow, I must
admit, with some misgivings.
Preparations for our reception had
just been completed and Del Mar was
issuing his final instructions to his
man. when the valet, Henry, ran In
hastily.
They're here, sir, now" he an
nounced excitedly.
"All right, I'm ready" nodded Del
Mar, turning to his man again and in
dicating a place back of the folds Of
the heavy curtains by the window.
"You get back there by that switch.
Don't move-don't even breathe. Now,
Henry, let them in"
AS his valet withdrew, Del Mar
gazed about his library to make sure
that everything raj all right. Just
then the valet reappeared and ush-
cred us In.

his orders as they passed them around
the line. ARNOLD, lead the way!"
Together the soldier and the strange
figure rushed to the front door of the
bungalow. All was still inside. Heavy
as it was, they broke it down and
burst in.
Walter, there's Walter!" cried
Woodward as he saw me lying on the
floor of the study when they ran in.
They hurried to me and, as quickly
as they could, started to bring me
around.
where's Elaine?" asked the strange
figure of the hermit.
Weakly, / was able only to point to
the panel. But it was enough. The
soldiers understood. They dashed for
1t, looking for a button or an opening.
Finding neither, they started to bang
on it and batter it in with the butts
of their guns.
1t was only seconds before it was
splintered to kindling. There was the
passage. Instantly Woodward, the
hermit, and the rest plunged into it
utterly regardless of danger. On
through the tunnel they went until at
last they came, unmolested, to the
end. There they paused to look
about.
The hermit pointed to the ground.
Clearly there were footprints, leading
to the shore. They followed them on
down to the beach.
Look" pointed the hermit.
Off in the water they could now see
the most curious Of sights. Four
strangely helmeted creatures were
wading out, each like a huge octopus.

Only a few seconds before Del Mar
and his companions, carrying Elaine.
had emerged from the secret entrance
of the tunnel and had dashed for the
shore of the promontory.
Stopping only an instant to consid-
er what was to be done, Del Mar had
seen someone also emerge from the
tunnel.
Conceive must get down there
quickly" he shouted, hurriedly issu.
ing orders, as all three, carrying
Elaine, waded out into the water.
At sight of the strange figures, the
soldiers raised their guns and a vol
ley Of shot rang out.
"Stop!" shouted the hermit, his hair
streaming wildly as he ran before the
guns and threw up as many as he
could grasp with his outstretched
arms. do o want to kill herr"
"Her?' repeated Woodward.
All stood there, w~onderingly, gazing
at the queer creatures.

THIRTY-FIFTH EPISODE
In Del Mars Cottage.

It was early the following morning
that, very excited, Elaine and
showed Aunt Josephine the photo
graph which we had snapped and de
veloped by using Kennedy's trick
method.
But who is itf" asked Aunt Jc'
sephine examining the print carefully
and seeing nothing but q face masked
and with a pair of hands before 1t,
q seal ring on the little finger Of one
hand.
"Oh, ! forgot that you hadn't seen
the ring BEFORE" explained Elaine.
"Why, we knew him at once, In spite
OF everything, by that seal ring-Mr,
Del Mari"
mr.. Del Mari" repeated Aunt Jo-
sephine. looking from m to the 9TH
or of us, incredulously.
II saw the ring at his bungalow and
on his own finger" reiterated Elaine
positively.
But what are you going to do
now" asked Aunt Josephine.
Have him arrested, of course"
Elaine replied.
Still talking over the strange expe-
rience Of the night before, we went
out on the veranda.
We'll, of all the ~nerve!" exclaimed
Elaine, catching sight Of q man COM
ing up the gravel walk. IF that isn't
Henry. Mr.. Del Mars valet"
The valet advanced as though moth
ing had happened and indeed I sup
pose that as far as he knew nothing
had happened or was known to us. He
bowed and handed Elaine q note
which she tore open quickly and read.
"Would you go?" she asked. handing
the note to me.
1t read:
Dear Miss Dodge
II you and Mr.. Jameson will call
on me today, | will have something
OF interest 10 tell you concerning my
Investigations In tho case Of the dis
appearance OF Craig Kennedy.
Sincerely,
NJ. DEL MAR.
"Yes," / asserted, II would CO."
"TeIl Mr.. Del Mar we shall see him
as soon as possible" nodded Elaine to
the valet, who bowed and left quickly.
Aunt Josephine shook her head
sagely In protest. But Elaine waved
all her protestations aside and ran
into the house to get ready for the
visit.
Half an hour later two saddle horses
were brought around to the front Of
Dodge Hall and Elaine and l sailed
forth.
Del Mar, still continuing his nefsri-
Gus work Of mining American harbors
and bridges, had arrived at q scheme
as soon as he returned from the at
tempt to get back from us the Sandy
Hook plans. Smith, who had stolen
the plans from the war department,
was still at the bungalow.
Early In the morning Del Mar a
seated himself at his desk and wrote
q letter.
Here, Henry" he directed his valet,
take this to Miss Dodge"
As the valet went out, he wrote an
other note. Read that" he said, hand
ing II ove to Smith. TITS q mes
