CHAPTER Xxx.
What BefelI the Emperor.


Like lonely rock that has with
stood the fury of storm and the bat
tering Of the seas to emerge again
into sunlight, the president felt his
time of justification approaching. His
hour of triumph was at hand, and his
prayers we're being answered; but the
task was not yet done.
The unqualified victory over the
Japanese feet made the outcome of
the war certainty; hence it was with
patience that the administration
waited for the next move in the far
east, which must of necessity come
China. There was no doubt that she
would assist her ally. At first this
seemed an imminent action; but sew
eral days passed bringing through the
secret service no news save that her
feet, huge and well manned, was
making preparations to sail. The
president, knowing that for the accom-
plishment of his purpose oriental
power must be broken, INDUCED in the
fervent hope that the attack might
come soon.
There was less trouble internally,
as the people were beginning to have
faith in the administration, though
they were specializing as to what
course of procedure was being fol-
lowed. 1t was while affairs were in
this condition that the sailing of the
British fleet was duly announced
through secret channels Of informa-
ton. The coterie saw before 1t the
necessity of either abandoning the
hope of teaching China drastic lesson
and announcing its secret to the world
OF meeting the British squadrons and
holding them hostage in the interest
of peace. They chose the latter alter
native, and thereby was caused the
strangest chapter in the history of war.
Like that other sally outward to the
western seas, this one was timely. 1t
was made when the British fleet might
be met beyond the reach of wireless
telegraph communication, and the pc
parture from the key was also under
cover of darkness. Again there was a
resemblance to the Japanese affair,
in that the appearance of the radio
planes created surprise and consterna-
ton on the warships. Here. however,
the similarity ended. The Anglo
Saxon mind knows no such thing as
surrender when once 1t is stirred to
the depths of it's stubbornness. 1t can
read only two answers to the riddle
of confiict-victory or death-as has
been attested by many a hard-fought
battle on land and sea-
The armada OF Great Britain had
sailed with appreheusions, being fully
cognizant that 1t was invading terri
tory Of mystery and danger, and the
vigilance Of its watch, therefore. was

never relaxed. The CONSERVATION
caused by the first sight of the aerial
feet was Immediately followed by a
hurried clearing of the decks for ac-
ton, although defeat in a battle
against such overpowering odds was a
foregone conclusion. No gun was
fired, however, and all stood expec-
family awaiting declaration of intent
from the monsters of the air which
had come upon them in the full glare
of the afternoon sun. ..
With slow and stately majesty the
radioplanes approached, each flying
the flag of the United States and be-
meath it the emblem of truce. The
Dreadnought, answering sluggishly
to the swell and hurting great cascades
of water from it's bow, was in the
heart of the formation. and in its pom
derous might seemed fearless of any
thing afioat. Toward it the foremost
radioplane directed its course, drop
ping steadily down until full abreast
and on level with the great fighting
tops, while the officers of the battle
ship watched with amazement its
splendid control. Not till then was
there visible display of life aboard
it. A port opened and into the black
ness of it's frame Bevins emerged.
while directly behind him stood the
scientist, who had recovered, and was
to witness the first full demonstration
of the power he had evolved. On the
bridge of the battle ship the British
admiral stood, surrounded by staff Of
ficers.
Good afternoon, admiral" the
American hailed. Glad to see you.
How do you like the looks of us?"
Across Fields face fitted a half
smile. I'VE are very well indeed, Ad-
miral Bevins; but can't say we are
particularly glad to see you, or sure
that we like you until we know more
Clever invention that. Must have
been conceived by an Englishman."
Behind the United States officer a
withered little figure became i'm
bued with sudden frenzy of passion
that threatened to interject an I'M
pleasant remark; but Bevins checked
him with laugh and grew serious
again.
Admiral" he said, my country
isn't at war with yours. You under
stand that"
Fields looked relieved, and lost
somewhat Of his air of set defiance
At the head of his men he crossed to
the end of the bridge where he might
be nearer the one addressing him. The
nervous strain Of the situation was be-
ing rapidly diminished Frankly, I'm
glad to be treasured" he replied
There are lot of things we'd rather
know"
