you see anybody come up through the
water, these hand grenades ought to
settle them"
Along the ledge the men were sta
toned, each with a pile of the gren-
AIDES before him.
"See!" cried one of them from the
ledge as he caught sight of one of
our helmets appearing.
The others crouched and stared. Del
Mar himself hurried forward and gazed
In the direction the man indicated.
There they could see Woodward, Ar
mold and the rest of us just beginning
to climb up out of the water.
Del Mar aimed and fired. One of
the men had thrown up his arms with
q cry and fallen back into the water.
Invaders seemed to swarm up now
in every direction from the water.
On the semi-circular ledge about one
side of the harbor, Del Mars men were
now ranged in close order near a sub
marine, whose hatch was open to re-
ceive them, ready to repel the attack
and If necessary retreat into the under
sea boat.
They fred sharply at the figures
that rose from the water. Many of
the men fell back, hit, but, in turn,
q large number managed to gain a
foothold on the ledge.
Led by Arnold and Woodward, they
formed quickly and stripped off the
waterproof coverings Of their weap-
ons, returning the fire sharply. Things
were more equal now Several of Del
Mars men had fallen. The smoke of
battle filled the narrow harbor.
In the office Elaine listened keenly
to the shots. What did 1t all mean?
Clearly it could be nothing less than
assistance coming.
The man on guard heard also and
his uncomfortable curiosity took him
to the door. AS he gazed out Elaine
saw her chance. She made a rush at
him and seized him, wre sting the rife
from his hands before he knew it.
She sprang back just as he drew his
revolver and fired at her. The shot just
narrowly missed her, but she did
not lose her presence Of mind. She
fired the rife In turn and the man
fell.
A little shudder ran over her. She
had killed a man! But the firing out
side grew fiercer. She had no time
to think. She stepped over the body,
her face averted, and ran out. There
she could see Del Mar and his men.
I'VE can't beat them; they are too
many for u.s." muttered Del Mar.
We'll have to get away IL we can.
Into the submarine!" re ordered.
Hastily they began to pile into the
open hatch.
Just as Del Mar started to follow
them, he caught sight Of Elaine run-
ming out of the Office. Almost in n
leap he was at her side. Before she
could raised her rifle and fire he had
seized 1t. She managed, however.
Elmore County Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1910-1915, 1915-10-23

to push him off and get away from
him.
She looked about for some weapon.
There on the ledge lay n of the
hand grenades. She picked 1t up and
hurled 1t at him, but he lodged and it
missed him. On 1t few, landing close to
the submarine. AS 1t exploded, another
Of Del Mars men toppled over into
the water.
Between volleys, Woodward, Arnold
and the rest pulled off their helmets.
"Elaine!" cried Arnold, catching
sight of her in the hands of Del
Mar.
Quickly, at the head of such men
as he could muster, the hermit led a
charge.
In the submarine the last man was
waiting for Del Mar. AS the her
NIT ran forward with several soldiers
between Del Mar and the submarine,
1t was evident that Del Mar would be
cut off.
The man at the hatch climbed down
into the boat. 1t was useless to
wait. Slowly the submarine began
to sink.
Del Mar by this time had overcome
Elaine and started to run toward the
submarine with her. But then he
stopped short.
There was a queer figure of a her
init leading some soldiers. He was
cut of.
Back into the ofice!" he growled,
dragging Elaine.
He banged shut the door just as the
hermit and the soldiers made a
rush at him. On the door they bat
tered. But 1t was In vain. The door
was locked.
In the Office Del Mar hastily went to
O corner after barring the door, and
lifted a trap door in the floor, known
only to himself.
Elaine did not move or make any
attempt to escape, for Del Mar in adj
dition to having a vicious looking au.
tomato in his hand kept a watchful
eye on her.
i Outside the office, the soldiers, led

by the hermit and Woodward, contin'
ued to batter at the door.
{ "Now-go down that stairway
ahead of me-" ordered Del Mar.
Elaine obeyed tensely, and he fol-
lowed into his emergency exit, clos
ing the trap.
Beat harder, men, urged the her
NIT, as the soldiers battered at the
door.
They redoubled their efforts and the
door bent and swayed.
At last it fell in under the sheer
weight of the blows.
'By George - he's gone with
Elaine" cried the hermit, looking at
the empty office.
Pound the floor and walls with
the butts of your guns" ordered Ar
mold. There must be some place
that is hollow"
Meanwhile, through the passage,
along a rocky stairway, Del Mar con-
tinued to drive Elaine before him, up
and ever up to the level OF the
land.
At last Elaine, followed by Del
Mar, emerged from the rocky pas
sage in a cleft in the cliffs, far above
the %promontory.
Go on!" he ordered, forcing her to
go ahead of him.
They came finally to a small hut
on a cliff overlooking the real har-
Dor.
Enter" commanded Del Mar.
Still meekly, she obeyed.
Del Mar seized her, and before she
knew 1t he had her bound and
gagged.
Down in the little office our men
continued to search for the secret
exit.
Here's a place that gives an
echo,' shouted one of them.
AS he found the secret trap and
threw 1t open, the hermit stripped
off the cumbersome diving suit and
jumped in, followed by Woodward,
myself and the soldiers.
Upward we climbed until at last we
came to the opening. There we paused
and looked about. Where was Del
Mar? Where was Elaine -? We could
see no trace of them.
Finally, however, Arnold discovered
the trail in the grass and we fol-
lowed him slowly picking up the
tracks.
y
Knowing that the submarine would
cruise about and wait for him, Del
Mar decided to leave Elaine In the
hut. while he went out and searched
for a boat in which to look for the sub
marine.
Coming out of the hut, he gazed
about and moved off cautiously.
Stealthily he went down to the shore
and there looked up and down in
tently. H.%

Del Mar to the others, under the
water.
They did so and rose slowly to 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

headgear off Elaine. She stared about

growled Del Mar. plainly worried.
Then to the men, he added. 1--WE can't
stay any longer. The harbor is dis

Immediately there was a general
scramble to make ready for the es-
cape.
In the corner of the Office, Elaine,
again in her skirt and shirtwaist
which the diving suit had protected,
sat open-eyed watching the prepara-

the rifles which they handed around to

one as we'll as a cartridge belt.

man indicating Elaine, "and If she gets
away this time, I'll shoot YOU"
Then he led the others down the
ledge until he came to a submarine
boat. The rest followed, still making
preparations for a hasty flight.

Arnold still in his wild disguise as the

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

torpedo.
Again he paused as he plodded up
this time with a gasp of extreme sat-

At this time Of the year mares and
colts are allowed to spend at least q
part of the time in the pasture. The
foal should be taught to eat grain very
early. BY placing the feed box from

foal, at about two months of age. will
begin nibbling with the mother and
will soon acquire taste for the grain.
A pen built in one corner of the field
made high enough to keep the mare

the mare in the Enclosure with the foal
for few times, and it will soon learn
to go in itself Keep a liberal supply
of'grain, preferably oats and bran, and
perhaps some cracked corn, in the

AVOID LUNGWoRMs IN SWINE
Treatment Isl Worthless on Account
Of inaocessibility Of Parasite-Pre-
vention ls Best.

By A. r. HAMMER. Idaho Experiment
Station.)
Lungworms are one of the most
common parasites of swine. They are
threadlike in appearance, brownish-
white in color and varying in length
from three-fourths to one and one-half
inches. They are found in the finer
divisions of the bronchial tubes, mixed
with mucus, which is secreted in
abundance as result of their pres
ence. F.,
Treatment, as a rule, Is worthless
on account of the inaccessibility OF the
parasite and the difficult method Of
application.
Prevention is the only ground on
which we can expect to control this
trouble, AS moist yards make good
place for the development of the eggs,
the yards should be located on high
ground and well drained.
Keep all manure heaps and straw
stacks out of the hog lots for the same
reasons. II possible, change the pas
turage frequently.
Occasionally disinfect the sleeping
quarters with a three per cent solu-
ton Of some coal tar dip.
