THlRTY-FoURTH EPISODE
THE HARsoR DEFENSE PLANS.

Alone in the doorway before his
ontory sat an old fisherman, gazing
out fixediy at the harbor as though
deeply concerned over the weather,
which. as usual. was unreasonable.
Suddenly he started and would have
disappeared into his hut but for the
fact that, although he could not him.
self be seen, he had already seen the
intruder.
II was trooper from Fort Dale. He
galloped up and, as though obeying to
the letter his instructions, handed an
envelope to the fisherman. Then, with
out a word, he galloped away again.
The fisherman opened It quickly. In
side was photograph and note. He
read:
FORT DALE.
Professor Arnold:

ment, has disappeared. We are not
sure, but fear that he has copy OF

LIEUTENANT WOODWARD.
For a long time the fisherman ap-
peared to study the face on the photo
graph until he had it indelibly implant-
ed In his memory
Finally he turned and entered his
hut. Hastily he took OF his stained

another outfit of clothes. The trans
formation was complete. When he Is
sued forth from his hut again. 1t was
no longer the aged disciple Of Izaak
Walton. He was now trim chauf-
feur, bearded and goggled.
In the library of his bungalow, Del
Mar was pacing up and down. now and
then scowling to himself. as though
there flashed over his mind stray recol-
lections of how some of his most cher
ished plans were miscarrying.
still, on the whole. he had nothing
to complain OF. For, moment later
the valet entered with a telegram for
which he had evidently been waiting.
Del Mar seized 1t eagerly and tore
open the yellow envelope. On the
blank was printed in the usual way
the following noncommittal message:
Washington, D. @, August II, 1915.
Mr.. Del Mar:
What you request 10 coming. An
swer to Sign Of the ring. SMITH.
Good" muttered Del Mar as he fin
ished reading Strange, what little
gold will do-when you know how to
dispose Of It."
He smiled cynically to himself at the
sentiment.
At the little railroad station they
were quite proud Of the fact that at
least two OF the four hacks had been
replaced already by taxicabs.
It was, then. with some surprise and
not little open jealousy that they
saw new taxicab drive up and take
its stand by the platform.
II the chauffeur. transformed from
the lonely fisherman. had expected q
cprdial reception, he might better have
(. stayed before his hut. for the glances
the other drivers gave him were -
black and lowering as the clouds he
had been looking 1t.
The new chauffeur got on his seat.

the town life.
From the Pullman alighted q widow,
in deep mourning. AS she got of and
moved down the platform 1t was APP
parent that she walked with a pro-
nounced limp.
At the end of the platform the chauf-
feurs were still calling. while the new
conner looked over the crowd hastily.

Of the widow, He stepped forward as
she approached. The others held back
as they had agreed and paid no atten-

He held the door open and she en-.
tered the cab, unsuspecting. "Mr. Del
Mars" she directed, simply.
He pulled away from the station. On
through the pretty country roads the
chauffeur drove the heavily yelled
widow until at last they came to Del
Mars bungalow.
At the gate he stopped and ran
around to open the door to assist his
fare to alight.

| AS she limped up the gravel walk
he watched her closely. She went to
the door and rang the bell and the
valet admitted her.
Del Mar was still sitting, thinking.
in the library.

The voice was not exactly soft. and
Del Mar eyed her suspiciously. Was

The widow, too. evidently wished to
make no mistake. AS she spoke, she
raised her hand. BY that simple &C
ton she displayed curious and con

Mar had, been waiting.
He extended his own left hand. Or
the ring finger was another ring. but
not similar. AS he did so, the widow
took the ring from her own finger
and placed 1t on the little finger OF De
Mar.
Good" he exclaimed.
The woman raised her thick veil
disclosing the face Ola man.
It was the same face, also, that hat
appeared in the photograph sent to the
old fisherman by Woodward.
| Awkwardly, the man searched in the
front of his shirtwaist and drew forth
paper which Del Mar almost seizet
in his eagerness. It was pen and

at the Dodge hall again.
Wont you come INF" asked Elaine
as we got out.
Thank you, believe will for

cealing his real eagerness to follow

AS we entered the living room

q table drawer, hastily took the plan
from my pocket and locked It in the
drawer. Elaine, meanwhile, was
standing with Del Mar, who was talk
ing. but in reality watching me
closely.
| Down the road past where we had
turned, before q pretty little single
house, the taxicab chauffeur stopped.
One of the bullets had taken effect on
him, and his shoulder was bleeding.
But the worst, as he seemed to think
1t, was that another shot had given
him q fat tire.
| He jumped out and looked up the
road whence he had come. No one
was following him. Still, he was wor-
ried. He went around to look at the
tire. But he was too weak now from
loss Of blood. It had been nerve and
reserve force that had carried him
through. Now that the strain was on.
he felt the reaction to the full.
Just then the doctor and his driver.
whom the valet had already sum,
moned to Del Mars, came speeding
down the road. The doctor saw the
chauffeur fall in half faint, stopped
his car and ran to him. The chauffeur
had kept up as long as he could. He
had now sunk down beside his ma
chine in the road.
A moment later they picked him up
and carried him into the house. There
was no acting about his hurt now. In
the house they laid the man down on
couch and the doctor made q hasty
examination.
How is her" asked one of the kind
Samaritans.
THE wound is not dangerous" re-
Piled the physician, but he's lost a
lot Of blood. He cannot be moved
for some time yet"
We talked about nothing else at
Dodge Hall after dressing for dinner
but the strange events over at Del
Mars, and what had followed. The
more I thought about It, the more It
seemed to me that we would never be

not help shaping myself on the chest
for the ingenuity with which I had du'
plicated Craig.
In his bungalow, now that Smith
had gone back again to New York and
Washington. Del Mar was preparing
to keep the important engagement he
had told US about. another OF his ne
farious nocturnal expeditions.
He drew cap on his head. well
over his ears and forehead. His eyes
and face he concealed as well as he
could with mask to be put on later.
To his equipment he added a gun.
Then with hasty word or two to
his valet. he went out.
IA BY back ways 30 that even In the
glare OF automobile headlights he
would not be recognized, he made his
way to Dodge Hall. As he saw the
house looming up in the moonlight he
put on his mask and approached eau
tiously, Gaining the house. he opened
o window noiselessly. turning the
catch rs deftly as housebreaker, and
climbed into the living room.
A moment he looked around. then

HUNTERS AID ASKED.
Suggestions Desired For Amendment
of Federal Bird Law.

Suggestions for proposed amend
nents to the regulations under the
i federal migratory bird law have been

! Dear Sir:
sarhe Department of Agriculture
is now gathering information pre-
paratory to revising and amending
/ the regulations under the federal
migratory bird law.
a. Believing that our game should
be utilized so far as can safely be
done, it is the desire of the depart
ment to give the sportsmen of the
various states all shooting privileges
consistent with the adequate pro-
lection and conservation of our wild
life.
|s2. All sportsmen's associations,
game protectionists, farmers and in
terested persons who have not al
ready done SO are invited TO IOTWafQ
their recommendations in writing to
the department at an early date, in
order that If possible the new regula-
tons may be adopted and put in force
before the opening of the shooting
season this coming fall.
<s3. Recommendation should be
confined to suggestions for proper
open seasons, having due regard for
the maturity Of the birds and their
mating and breeding seasons. 1t is
a settled policy that the open season
in any one state shall not exceed three
and one-half months duration.
"A. You are further requested to
transmit statement Of your general
conclusions on the subject based upon
your personal observations and ex-
perience.

GONZALES OR EDENBoRN7
Dispute Over Name Of Ascension Vii
Iage Still Unsettled.

/ - ~ g ~
i Whether the station on the Z. r.
and N. Railroad in this parish now
known as "Edenbornn will continue
to bear that appellation, or have its
| name changed TO e Gonzales as pray
| ed for by a majority Of the residents
| Of the community, is a question which
the supreme court Of the state viii
probably soon be called upon to de-
eide.
The Louisiana Railroad Gommis
sion has ordered William Edenbofn,
owner of the railroad, to take down
his name on the station depot and
substitute the name -of the original
village, Gonzales, which existed be-.
fore the railroad found its way
through there. Rather, the order was
issued over a year ago, in November,
1914, to be exact. It was to become
effective January /, 1915.
Mr.. Edenborn fled suit in the dis
triet court Of East Baton Rouge
March IS Of the same year, attacking
the order and seeking to have it an
EnuHed. In his petition he set forth
that it was a pity a man could not
name station along his own railroad
after himself without outside inter-
ference. The residents all seem to
want the village to retain its original
name.
The case came up for trial Tues
day, but it was brought to sudden
halt by Assistant Attorney General
Barrow, representing the railroad
commission, who moved to have the
suit dismissed on the ground that
prescription had run. Railroads have
three months, under the law, IN which
to bring suits contesting orders OF the
commission. The attorney general
contends this prescription begins to
run from the time the order is issued.
The railroad attorneys claim the date
the order becomes effective marks the
beginning of the three months
period.
Judge Brunot dismissed the mo-
ton to have the case thrown out Of
court. The attorney general then en-
tered an appeal to the supreme court,
which was refused. He then an
nouned his intention Of applying for
@aa2alssof prohibition to restrain Judge
Brunot from refusing to grant an APP
peal.
1t looks as though the supreme
court of the state will have to decide
the momentous question whether
Edenborn is aEdenborn' or Con
zales.'
