Satisfied with the safety of his captive, the sentry made his way down-stairs and out again to report to Del Mar. At the bungalow, Del Mar's valet was setting the library in order when he heard a signal in the secret passage. He pressed the button on the desk and opened the panel. From it the sentry entered. "Where is Mr. Del Mar?" he asked hurriedly, looking around.
I rose in great haste, and found my father and Owen also on foot, and in considerable alarm. Andrew's news proved but too true in the main. The great rebellion which agitated Britain in the year 1715 had already broken out, by the unfortunate Earl of Mar's setting up the standard of the Stuart family in an ill-omened hour, to the ruin of many honourable families, both in England and Scotland.
He was a young man of a decidedly bourgeois appearance, as if he were not much, outside of his uniform. "My name is Félix Broux," I said. "I came to pay a bill " "His servant," Maître Menard contrived to murmur, the dragoon allowing him a breath. "Oh, you are the Comte de Mar's servant, are you? Where have you left your master?" "What do you want of him?" I asked in turn. "Never you mind.
First he went over to the door and set a chair under the knob. Next he drew an electric pocket bull's-eye and flashed it about the room. He glanced about and finally went over to Del Mar's desk where he examined a batch of letters, his back to the secret panel.
Quickly he shut and locked the folding-doors to the drawing-room, as, with Del Mar's man, I was beating at the rear library door. "I'll go around," I suggested, hurrying off, while Del Mar's man tried to beat in the door. Inside the little old man who had been listening saw that there was no means of escape. He pulled off his coat and vest and turned them inside out.
The ringmaster'll favour you, and your span can get the first jump. If I was young and footloose, I'd ask nothing better than to go out with your turn." Harris Collins, in the pauses gazing down at Michael, read Del Mar's Seattle telegram: "Sell my dogs. You know what they can do and what they are worth. Am done with them. Deduct the board and hold the balance until I see you.
In genuine fear now she too ran from the window. But it was too late. For just then the sentry who had taken Del Mar's horse came from behind the building cutting off her retreat. He seized her just as the other men ran out. Elaine stared. She could make nothing of them. Even Del Mar, in his goggles and breathing mask was unrecognizable. "Take her inside," he ordered disguising his voice.
Suddenly she stopped stark still, surprised, and stared. The man had actually gone up to the very waterfall. He had pressed what looked like a lever and the water over the falls seemed to stop. Then he walked directly through into a cave. In the greatest wonder, Elaine crept along toward the falls. Inside the cave Del Mar's emissary started to climb a ladder to an inner cave.
As we rode along, the country seemed so quiet that no one would ever have suspected that foreign agents lurked all about. But it was just under such a cover that the nefarious bridge and harbor- mining work ordered by Del Mar's superiors was going ahead quietly.
"Just the thing!" exclaimed the hermit. "Send some one back to get them." Woodward quickly detached several soldiers to go with me and I hurried back to the bungalow, while others carried the submarine telescope to the boat. It was only a few minutes later that in Del Mar's own car, I drove up to the wharf again and we unloaded the curious submarine helmets and suits.
