his work, "but l am afraid that a

Fairly grittlng his teeth in rage, the
kaiser turned on his heel and strobe

fool he had been to intrust himself to
a strange mechanism which at best
was treacherous! A days delay would
not mean much; but what If they were
detained for many? The waning moon

up and down a stretch of turf with
military precision, until his anger be-

two of the deer of natural color. the

springing away to safety. while the
white deer remained stock still.
The wind was toward the hunters

a dry tone, ut seems to me that we

The others appreciated the grim
humor of the situation, and in like
vein acquiesced. The surprise which
they had undergone was nothing
compared to that with which, as the
day waned, they witnessed the lifting
of their craft from the waters. With
the utmost care the task was accom-
plished, and everything made ready
for the westward journey. Only one
mishap occurred beyond the necessary
damage to the ships, and that was not
discovered until the following day A

CHAPTER XXI.
His MaieatY,a Visit.


In the heart OF the woods, untrnddeD
before by man, the sound OF the ham
mer awoke the German emperor after
his hours Of anxious study. BY choice
he had declined to sleep In the radio
plane, and rolled himself In his blan
kets on an open spot of turf. The cares
Of the day were upon him again with
all their perplexities. The sun had not
risen, and the cool breath OF the morn
ing came to his lungs with invigorat
ing freshness, while bird of the far
north was beginning a thin piping tc
its mate, and camp robber, brilliant
ly impertinent, hoped round his
woodland couch and gazed unabashed
at royalty.
He threw aside the blankets which
had been tightly rolled round him
walked to the brook, whose song had
lulled him in his dreams OF the night;
and bathed his hands and face In the
icy water. A great trout, disturbed
by the intrusion, sped swiftly away
from a rock and disappeared sin d
dark pool with final sweepsof It's
his handkerchief and walked iHlawly
across the glade to the Norma, which
he entered curiously,'. 49, sjS35@
There they all were as on the night
before, tired, work-worn and anxious,
the chancellor still with his sleeves
rolled up, the rear admiral stripped to
his undershirt and the engineer peer
ing through his glasses at the tangles
of wire. On the night before the
kaiser had stormed and threatened,
had mumbled angry soliloquies. and
sworn mighty oaths to the unheedlng
woods. Now at the sight of these
faces before him he understood to the
full that these, his hosts, must have
labored throughout the night trying
to undo the accident which perhaps his
own hands had wrought. 1t softened
his mood.
They saluted him, and Brockton rose
stiiliy, to his feet, wiped his hands on
Lis trousers. and repaired to the rear
of the radioplane, from which he
alphabetically returned with breakfast
for his guest. The emperor ate with
an appetite which was made keen by
the balsamy night air In which he had
slept, and then began wishing that
he, too, might take part in this manual
toll. Almost involuntarily he assisted
the fat old chancellor, who was pry-
ing loose another board with q crow
bar; but he felt that he was in the
way, and after lounging round the
craft for time decided that he would
have another look at the brook. II
was swarming with trout, and, half
ashamed of his Gest, he returned to
the Norma, and, like boy preparing
to play truant,, furtively secured a
line, and attached it to a fly which he
had in his pocket book.
