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 air?'
 emphatic answer.
 That makes it all the more impera- tive that l carry out the pactum 10 the letter. I never could answer to history, if I were to break my oath He sighed. If war is carried into the tir, if anyone should discover the se- ret of cirynith and the aerodromone,

 The chancellor received Napoleon lery cordially.
 Napoleon stated his errand, briefly Ie told the count that he was anxious 2 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. i'll his suayest manner:
 May I ask what causes your anxie v in regard to that property? To be perfectly frank. 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 lind anything extraordinary. One of them mentions a peculiar quartz for nation there that somewhat rcsembles the mineral used in manufacturing glass, but that is all they could find.
 They are right, count. l want those crystals.
 T shall do my best for you, but you know how imperfect our laws are in regard to estates that fall to the crown
 this ease?"
 The count shook his head doubt fully.
 His majesty is the only one who could. and l 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 once 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 von 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.

 The attendant was dismissed and 1 the count motioned to a chair and asked the messenger to sit down In stead of complying, the young man took package from his inside vest pocket and handed it to the count He saw the handwriting of the countess. He cafefully opened the sealed en- velope and sitting down before his l dcgk hp hppau to road.
 "Sir: The plans you outlined for my conduct before I went to Helgo- land have begun to develop. will, shortly, know 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 tue red, white and black flag. instead of the stars and stripes?
 You may fill out the papers that cess of Schomburg Lithow. and I wish you would have the estates in Ger many and other countries transferred to me at once, as I 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- 1 clude the manufacture of iotilla of aerodromones. I hardly think the president of the international peace 1 committee will interrupt us. but our greatest strength will lie in being ready for any emergency.
 '.The time of actisn is almost here. but it is impossible for me to state the exact date just now. Under no ! circumstances can I tell the outcome until the papers of possession are in the hands of my legal advisers. Her. ren Konrad and Hans Schwab of Der. lin.
