This news was cabled to London,
where its dissemination gave another
impetus to speculation, and before ii
had subsidized the worlds cables re-
sumed operations.
An operator in a transatlantic
cable office, who for weeks had sat
before his silent keys, saw a livid
signal flash, and sprang excitedly to
respond. Across the depths of the
ocean came the words:
"All embargos are removed. The

was the first to be transmitted, Peace

Events were now moving with such
prodigious rapidity that wherever
wires OF communication ran men left
their occupations and waited for
whatever other remarkable informa-
ton might be forthcoming. For once
the nations seemed in such close
touch that they reached out to each
other to tell their own part in the
unfolding of the great mystery. The
whole civilized world knew speedily
that the kaiser had been carried away
by accident, that his health had been
improved, and that he bore nothing
but good will toward his captors.
London transmitted the complete
story of the taking of the British fleet,
elucidated the Dreadnought's singular

down from the air aglow with light,
and counting notice.
At the iron gates In front of the PAL

Rether by the descent of the radio

with every searchlight playing into
the air. The alarm had been given
before she came, and guards were
turning out from their barracks aud
hurrying to the palace on the run,
with arms in hand to defend Bucking-
ban from the oncoming monster Not
until il was near the ground was it
discovered that from the peaks floated
three flags, the Union Jack, the Stars

besieged for information, yielded to
the popular demand and gave out the
history of the war. including the ac-
count of the invention and the crea-
ton of the plant on the Florida key.
The little inventor and his daughter
were thrown into the limelight, and
exaggerated accounts OF their mar
velous work were spread over pages
of extras wherever newspapers were
printed. The public insistently clam
ored for news, more news, throughout
the hours, and seemed never satiated.
All eyes were turned to the presi-
dent, who finally. in desperation, de
clined to make any further state
ments, and announced that details
would have to come in later sequence,
when time could be given to their die
tation.
From the great republic the cloak
Of mystery and inaction was thrown
aside and the cordons to the north and
the south were being dissipated as II
by magic. That menacing line of blue
along the Canadian border was
crumbling with greater rapidity than
it had been formed. Here and there
through the air swept so radioplanes
carrying improvised passenger ac'
commodations, the sun showing them
as flashing birds of blue carrying the
hosts of the guard back to their arm

In every city throughout the land as
tonished and exultant inhabitants
watched these friendly monsters
which had made the nation the most
redoubtable in all the world. The
guns of the border were now standing
unguarded, the bivouacs obliterated
and the paths of the sentries aban
doned to the placement of natures

the day of her return. The strange
and silent Roberts, resting in the road
way and floating the American and
English flags, which had been inter
twined by the fingers of a friendly
breeze, was of greater interest than
any other sight within memory. 1t
was rumored through the throng that
the king had returned; but the eXpla-
nation of his absence was yet to come.
For once officialdom did not hesitate,
but sent to the newspapers of the city
the full account of the visit to the
United States, together with the rea-
sons and results, and also the story
of the fleet which had been given up
for lost. 1t. was intimated that the Of
fetal overtures of the United States
would be made known at later hour
of the day through due channels, and
thus the air was charged with expect
ancy.
In the meantime Berlin too had
been given its time of tumult. The
return of the emperor had been no
less astounding; but he with charac-
teristic energy had no sooner stepped
within the doors of his palace than
he called his secretaries and dictated
q complete explanation of his own dis
appearance, together with statement
of what had transpired in the United
States and a summary of the pro-
posals for peace which had been for

fort to the handsome enemy in New
London. The family trouble antedates
the lovers abandonment. Joseph
Church, father of Myra, who was Of a
long line Of prosperous farmers, found
his home unhappy four years ago, so
he built himself a shack on the other
side of his pond, and there lived the
life of a hermit on his own we'll

sound of his family. That little pond
was as wide as the Atlantic and Paci-
fic combined for the farmer and his
women folk.
But last fall the old man was not
seen on his side Of the pond for sew
eral days The women were indiffer-

to the shack and found her father
stricken with paralysis. She forgot
the family row and stayed to care for
him till he died, last December. He
gave her the land in his will. The Sis
ters want to take it away from her.
That is why it is romantic to visit
the widow. A brook divides her domain
from her mothers and there is a draw
bridge over the brook. Everyone who
comes is scrutinized by the woman on
the hill before she comes down to drop
the bridge and bid him welcome. She
uses the same old spyglass through
