Napoleon acknowledged this fact.
"Then you think the powers would
not hesitate to undo all l have done,
that they would gladly take up arms
again, and wage battle in Gods beau
tiful, clear ARR"
Il certainly dol" was Herr Kalmar's
emphatic answer.
THAT makes 1t all the more impera-
tive that | carry out the pactum to
the letter. I never could answer to
history, IL I were to break my oath"
He sighed. IF war is carried into the
air. If anyone should discover the Sc
cret of cirynith and the aerodromone,
l will find the means to coniound
them" His face expressed grim de-
termination and Herr Kalmar respect
ed him as a man more than a king, q
mau of his word.
The chancellor received Napoleon
very cordially.
Napoleon stated his errand, briefly.
He told the count that he was anxious
to gain control of the property in
Hungary that had belonged to the
SchOmburg Lithow estates.
The count was somewhat taken
aback by this direct statement He
said, in his suavest manner:
May ! ask what auses your ankle
ty in regard to that property To be
perfectly frank. 1 sent my best
analysts there to assay that peak. hop
ing to find the name of the mineral
that interests you. but they do not
find anything extraordinary. One of
them mentions a peculiar quarts for
nation there that somewhat resembles
the mineral used in manufacturing
glass, but that is all they could find"
They are right, count I want
those crystals"
Il shall do my best for you. but
you know how imperfect our laws are
In regard to estates that fall to the
crown"
Can you not make an exception in
this case?"
The count shook his head doubt
fully.
"His majesty is the only n who
could andI am sorry to say that your
honor does not happen to have his
sympathy"
"Of course not; he thinks I have
clipped his wings!" This remark
slipped out Unexpectedly.
He took leave of the count and
looked up Herr Kalmar pnce more
and told him many things that showed
the big German he was In Napoleon's
confidence.
Shortly after this he left for Eng
land, and from there for New York.
Count o Werdenstein did not
know the true value Of these crystals.
but he was shrewd enough to surmise
that they were connected with Napo-
Icons aerodromones, those wonderful
birds that vomited lightning. Would
they ever be his? Everything comes
to the man who waits" he thought,
and made ready to report the result
of his work to his majesty.
AS he was leaving the room, an at
tendant ushered in a b~right-eyed little
man, without announcement. The off,
Ger explained that he came from the
Countess Rosiny and the c~hancellor's
brow cleared.
The attendant was dismissed and
the count motioned to q chair and
asked the messenger to sit down. In
stead Of complying, the young man
took a package from his inside vest
pocket and handed it to the count. He
saw the handwriting OF the countess.
He carefully opened the sealed en-
velope and sitting down before his
desk ne began to read:
"Sir: The plans you outlined for
my conduct before l went to Helgo-
land have begun to develop. / will,
shortly, know a few very important
things in regard to the '~aerodromone'.
with one of which you, yourself, have
had some experience.
What do you think of them? What
would you think Of being able to
manufacture them. to fly on them the
red. white and black flag. instead of
the stars and stripes7
"You may I'LL out the papers that
make the Countess Rosiny the Prin-
cess Of schomburg Lithow. and ! wish
you would have the estates In Ger
many and other countries transferred
to me at once. as ! want to take pos
session. particularly OF the estate In
Hungary, In the near future.
"Plans should be made to defend
my undertaking. plans that will in
clude the manufacture of a fiotilla of
aerodromones. ! hardly think the
president of the international peace
committee will interrupt US. but our
greatest strength will lie In being
ready for any emergency.
"The time OF action Is almost here,
but It is impossible for me to state
the exact date just now. Under no
circumstances can / tell the outcome
until the papers Of possession are in
the hands Of my legal advisers, Her.
