CHAPTER xVII.-continued.

Both the Count Rosiny and the
countess were members of the German
secret service. They needed means
to keep up their title and did not hest
tate to become spies. Besides, she
said it was her greatest pleasure to
participate in intrigue and the excite
ment of this profession.
"A few years later, a complete moral
wreck, l broke away from her, and
went to Russia. There l became q

CHAPTER XVIII.

The Secret Of the Aerodromono.
The newly made Princess Of Schom-
burg Lithow and her fiance, Santos,
reached Berlin safely. They few In
the Hawk to Irkutsk in Asiatic Russia
and from there continued their jour
ney on the quick aeroline to the Ger
man capital. They sent the aerodro-
none back to Ciryne.
The Rosiny mansion was ready for
them. Rositta's first action was to
send word to the Count Won Werden-
stein that she wanted to sec him.
When the chancellor came, Rositta
received him alone. It was necessary
for her to explain the situation. The
Count Rosiny was dead. He had been
on board the Tar that Napoleon had
sunk. This freed Rositta, but as a
princess she could not marry plain
citizen, so she asked the count to
make Mr.. Duprel a titled nobleman.
ROSETTA told all she thought necessary,
and they talked for long time.
Santos was told the plans without
the slightest idea that it was ire
mendous, far-reaching plot designed to
destroy all the achievements Of the
peace committee. He could see moth
ing but ROSETTA, he could think of moth
ing but their approaching marriage.
The purpose the chancellor and Ro-
sitta had In mind, was to manufacture
and equip number of aerodromones.
If they pursued this desire, they would
have, inside of year, the power to
master the situation and take the lead
in political affairs.
Suemeg now belonged to ROSETTA and
the cirynith deposit there was very
rich. The Count Won Werdenstein
placed an unlimited account in the
bank to her credit, 80 that she and
Santos could begin work at once.
The people Of Kiss-Cell were sur
prised at the unusual activities dis
played by the strange men imported
Santos Duprel was very busy. He
had been informed that after the sue
cessful completion of the first aero
dromone he would have the title oil
count" conferred upon him, and that
this would remove all the barriers be
tween Rositta and him. Their mar
riage would take place the day of the
trial flight. This fired his ambition
and he worked hard and long. He was
allowed to plan as he wished, and one
day laid his blue prints before the
Count Won Werdenstein. He showed
him that a larger and more powerful
aerodromone than Napoleon's would
be necessary; otherwise the design
and make would be unchanged This
improvement in size would give more
motive power. and thus make it supe
rior to the Eagle.

met the doctor in the Hotel Ansonia .
The visiting experts had to make their
way through great throng of con-
sumptives who crSwded about the
fashionable hotel. waiting to see DIR.
Friedman. Among them were two
men who had come from the far West.
Women, emaciated and haggard, stood
outside in the sunshine, with eyes fixed
on the hotel doors. waiting patiently
for some word from the man whom they
looked upon as their possible deliverer
from death.
They We're doomed to disappointment
for the time. DIR. Friedmann's secre-
tary said he would make no injections
of the serum today, but that he would
issue statement later stating partic-
ulars as to his future course of action.
Drs. Anderson and Stimson at once
went into executive session with DR..
Friedman. After they had been locked
In his room for some time a stenogra-
pher was sent for, but no statement
was given out.
A bitter controversy has arisen over

to see him. Since the offer Of 81, 900. .0o0

Ia AFOLLETTE'SA AIDE
GREETS PRESIDENT
Senator's Secretary Presents
Friends to the Democratic
Leader Today.

Col John Hannah. secretary 20 Sena-
tor La Toilette. called at the Execu-
tive offices yesterday for the first time
since April, 1909. He called to present
two friends.
II the Wilson Administration proves
as progressive as expected, Senator La
Toilette is certain to throw his influ-
ence largely to his support Excepting
the Wilson organization, there exists no
organized political force with which
Senator La Toilette could ally himseI.
This support. which was clearly in
dicated during the campaign, is eX-
pected to have some influence on the
patronage to be dispensed in Wisconsin.
It now appears that the principal dis
tributor there, SO far as President VIII
son defers to any one, will be National
Committeeman Davies. 1t Is practically
certain that Davies is not looking for a
plum himself. He could hardly afford
to accept an ambassadorial post, for
which he has been mentioned, and the
only thing he wanted has escaped and
gone into other hands.
1t Is thought that Davies wanted to be
Secretary Of the Interior. However. the
selection OF Franklin Lane has resulted
In no resentment. Mr. Davies will
therefore continue as national commit
teeman and general In charge of pa
tronage headquarters In Wisconsin.

JURY FAILS
TO REACH VERDICT
Labor Attorney Freed After
Men Had Debated on His
Case for Two Days.

LOS ANGELES. March s.AClarence
Darrow is still under Indictment on a
charge of attempting to bribe Juror
Lockwood in the Mcnamara case. The
Jury has been dismissed after debating
on his guilt or innocence forty-eight
hours and thirty minutes. They stood
eight to four for conviction and were
deadlocked, twelve ballots having been
taken.
March 81 is the date set by Judge
Conrey for the case to come up again.
At that time date for the third trial Of
Darrow will be fixed unless the district
attorney asks to have the indictment
dismissed. Hints were heard today that
the county will drop the prosecution.
Darrow said today after the jury had
been dismissed:
THE evidence in this case was not
sufficient to convict me or to warrant a
disagreement. 1 shall insist on a new
trial at once and 1 am determined to
fight this charge to the end"
When District Attorney Fredericks
was told Of this statement by Darrow,
he said: "Darrow will get all the trial
he wants. / will have a retrial whether
he wants it or not. I'll have Darrow
disharred on his own testimony"
Labor unions have begun to circulate
petitions for vote to recall Fredericks.
When the jury's disagreement was
made known a large crowd Of Social
lists in the halls of the court house at
tempted demonstration, but were sup
pressed by police.

hero of Charleston harbor and Potomac
river naval battles of the civil war. has
been served with papers citing him to
appear In the poor debtor court because

tho effects of a shock experienced about

gressman Russell sailed yesterday for
Porto Rico. Both. however. sent tcle-
grams showing enthusiasm over the
meeting and regretting that they could
not be present.
Corporal Tanner. Recorder of Wills
for the District. will preside and intro
duce the speakers.
A feature of the meeting will be the
reading of kilograms from all over the
United States, cenSuring the police for
their lack of protection. Not only do
the kilograms and letters come from or
eanizations of women but from men s
organizations as well. Suffrage head
quarters have been flooded with the
messages ever since the word of the
treatment Of the paraders by the crowd
was sent out.
Among the mass of kilograms is one
directed to Congressman TAYLOR. of Col
orado. from the president of the Color
ado Equal Suffrage League, which is
as follows:
We ask you to insist on the investi-
cation of the Washington Chief of Police
sible for the inCompetency and coward
ice shown in the failure to protect the
women i'm the parade. The women We're
denied the ordinary protection which is
given AS n matter of course to every
ether class of citizens. Colorado women
are indignant and ashamed of the Capt.
tai City.
"HARRIETT G. r. WRIGHT.
President of Colorado Equal Suffrage
League. In behalf OF the women of
Colorado"
kilograms and letters have been re-
ceived from nearly every State in the
Union. More messages have been re-
ceived from the South than from the
North, and although the movement for
equal suffrage has not nearly the pro-
portions it has in the North, the mes
sages from the South express a greater
degree Of indignation.
