Then he wrapped the whole thing up in a box, rang a bell, and handed the package to a servant| with expiicit instructions as to its de-| livery to the right person amd only to that person. 1 Down in the submarine harbor, Del Mar | was in conference witii his board of strategy and advice, laying the plan for | the attack on America. | “Ever since we have been at work,” he remarked, “Elaine Dodge has been busy hindering and frustrating us.

Then with a few Mmore words of admonition he took up his diving helmet and left the headquar- ters, followed by the man. Several minutes later Del Mar, alone, emerged from the water just outside submarine harbor and took off his hel- met. He made his way over the rocks. carry. Ing the bomb, untll he came to & little fissure In the rocks, ltke a cavern. There 'ht hid the bomb carefully. Still carry- ing the helmet, he hurried along until he came to the cave entrance that led to the secret passage to the panel in his bungalow library. Up through the se- cret passage he went, roaching the panel and opening it by a spring. In the library Del Mar changed his wet clothes and hid them, then he set to work on an accumulation of papers on his desk. That afternoon Elaine decided to go for & little ride throtgh the country in her runabout. As she started to leave her room, dreased for the trip, it was as though a premonition of danger came to her. She paused, then turned back and took from the drawer the -searchlight gun which had been sent to her. She slipped It into ! the pocket of her skirt and went out.

' Only I'm sorry you can't go along with me.” She started up the car and drove off as Woodward turned back to the Fort with & lngering look. Del Mar was hard at work in the library, when #uddenly he heard a sound at the panel. He reachod over and pressed a button on his desk, and the panel All} o distinct Hght appeared on the paper, | OPened. Through it came the diver, still wearing his dripping suit and carrying the weird helmet under nis arm. ‘“That Dodge girl has crossed us again!” he ex- claimed excitedly, ‘“‘How?' demanded Del Mar, with an oath. “1L saw her on the rocks just nmow, She happened to stumble on the bomb which you left there to be placed.” “And then?" Del Mar, “Bhe took it with her in her car.” “The deuce!” ejaculated the foreign agent, furi- ously, “You must get the men out and hunt the country thoroughly, 8he must not escape now at any cost."

The masked man crawled from under the wreckage and looked at him for a moment. “Dead!” he exclaimed, still mechan- | Ically gripping a rifie in his hand. Angrily he raised it at us and fired. A moment later, some other men gath- | jered from all directions about him, each | armed. | “Don't mind the wreck,” he cried, ex- asperated. “Fire!" A volley was delivered at us. But the distance was now apparently too great. We were just congratulating ourselves | on our escape, when a stray shot whizzed past, striking a plece directly out of the | Elaine’s hands, Naturally she lost control, though fortu- {nately we were not going so fast mow.| Crasily, our car swerved from side to side !of the road, as she vainly tried to con-| | trol both its speed and direction. On the | | very edge ot the ditch, however, it stopped. We looked back. There we could see a | group of men who seemed to spring out | of the woods, as if from nowhere, at the |sound of the shots. A shout went up at glowing brightly. Indeed, 1 whether 1 could have shot rately otherwise. As the man approached cautiously down the passageway thp bright disc of light danced about until finally it fell full on his breast. The man fell forward instantly. Again I fired, this time at the man in the cave entrance. He jumped back, dropping his gun, which exploded harm- lessly. His hand was wounded. Quickly he drew back and disappeared among the trees. ‘We walted In tense silence and then cautiously looked out of the mouth of the cave. No one seemed to be about. “Come—let's make a dash for it,” urged Elaine. We ran out and hurried on down the ravine, apparently not followed. Back among the trees, however, the man had picked up a rifle which he had hidden. While he was binding up his hand with a handkerchief he saw us. Painfully he tried to alm his gun. But it was too heavy for his weakened arm and the paln was too great. He had to lower it. With a muttered imprecation he followed us at a distance. Bvidently, to us, we had eluded the pursuers, for no one seemed now to be following, at least as far as we could determine, ‘'We kept on, however, until we came to the water's edge. There, down by the bay, we could see Prof. Arn- old’s yacht. “Let us see Prof. Arnold, anyhow,” sald Hlaine, leading the way along the shore. We came at last, without being mo- lested, to a little dock. A sailor was standing beside it and moored to It was & swift motor boat. Out at anchor was the yacht. ‘“You are Prof. Arnold’s man?" asked Elaine. “Yes'm," he replied, remembering her. ““Is the professor out on his boat?' we asked. He nodded. him “Very much,” answered Elaine. “I'll take you out,” he offered. We jumped into the motor boat, he started the engine and we planed out over the water.

He had followed us at a distance across the woods and fields and down along the ehore to the dock, had seen us talking to Arnold's man, and get into the boat, From the shore he continued to watch us skim across the bay and pull up along- side the yacht. As we climbed the lad- der, he turned and hurried back the way he had come. Elaine and I climbed aboard the yacht where we could see the professor sitting in a wicker deck chalr. “Look!" I exclalmed, “what's that?"

He did not hesitate an instant. “Get the yacht under way,” he ordered the captain, who immediately shouted his orders to the rest. ] Quickly the engine started and we plowed ahead, that ominous looking peri- scope following. In the submarine harbor to which he | had been taken, Del Mar found that he had been pretty badly shaken up by the accident to his car. His clothes were torn and his face and body scratched, No bones were broken, however, though the shock had been great.

The torpedo shot out into the water, | traveling under its own power, straight at the yacht. Elaine and I looked back. The periscope was much nearer than before. “Can we outdistance the submarine?’ 1 asked of Arnold. “Arnold shook his head, his face grave On came the thin line of foam. “T'm afraid we'll have to leave the yacht,” he sald warningly. My little motor boat s much faster.” Arnold shouted his orders as he led us down the ladder to the motor boat, into which we jumped, followed by as many of the crew as could get in, while the others leaped Into the water from the rall of the yacht and struck out for the shore, which was not very distant. “What's that?” cried Elaine, horrified, pointing back. The water seemed to be all churned up. A long cigar-shaped affair was slipping along near enough to the surface so that we could just maKe it out—murderous, deadly, almed right at the heart of the yacht. “A torpedo!" exclaimed Arnold. of! We moved off from the yacht as swiftly as the speedy little open motor boat would carry us, not a minute too soon. The torpedo struck the yacht almost ex- actly amidship.

The yacht itself seemed lifted the water and literally brokengn half like a brittle rod of glass and dropped back into the water Below in the submarine, Del Mar was still at the periscope directing things. “A hit.."” he cried exultingly. "“We got the whole bunch this time.." He turned to the men to congratulate them, a smile on his evil face. But as he looked again, he caught sight of our little motor boat skimming safely away on the other side of the wreck. “The deuce..” he muttered. other. Here's the direction.” Furlously he swore as the men guided the submarine and loaded another tor- pedo into & tube. As the tube came Into position, they let the torpedo go. An in- stant later, it was hissing its way at us “See, there’s another..” 1 cried, catch- ing sight of it. All looked. Sure enough, through the water could be seen another of those murderous messengers dashing at us. Arnold ran forward and seized tho wheel himself, swinging the boat around hard to starboard and the land. We turned just in time. The torpedo, brain- less but deadly dashed past us harm lessly. “Cast “Try an- (To be Continued.) / » 3| It watched her for an instant, then sank mm,::"“: back into the water again, rest. “Sup- | Eleine, holding the package iIn her id not help | Pand, walked up the shore, oblivious to the strange eye that had been fixed on l with no destination in particular.
