 "Tbe countess, or rather the prin- cess, is al present on her Italian es- tate, at the Lago di Maggiore. No doubt she could give information in regard to the man But l will, myself, order investigation at once"
 His hesitating answer told Napo- leon plainly that the count was still in doubt, that their preparations were not yet complete. He said:
 T am obliged to you for your kind ness, and you may be sure that. should the time ever come when your excel lency needs anything from me. you will find me ready to render you as- sistance"
 This finished the formal part of the visit and they talked short time on ordinary topics. Then Napoleon in- vited the count to have a ride in his aerodromone.
 That will he treat. I have been longing for a ride in one" The count evidently accepted the invitation with genuine pleasure. These two men were antagonistic. but not enemies. Their principles were different, that was all. They ascended and At Napo- Icons glance Sullivan opened tho Gecr and the count vas courteousiy nah cred to the comfortable cabin Suli- van was at the wheel and the bird flew a few thouss nd feet over the town. going slowly, so that the count could appreciate the easy flight Ma polcon sat by him, explaining the mechanism in simple language
 When the count alighted on his own roof he shook Napoleons hand warm ly and said: T wish, my dear sir, that we were governed by the same ideals, as I would like you for friend"
 ''The time may come when we will have the same ideals" commented Ma poleon. The Eagle flew away and van ished from sight.
 Napoleon spent a few hours in the capital attending to committee affairs, and the next morning left again His knowledge of emistry told him that there should De some natural means of removing the highly developed mag netic quality from cirynith and thus enable one machine to gain control of the other. He decided to make thorough search through all the vol eanic regions of Western America he fore he settled down to experiment with chemical combinations He stopped al Gryne, leaving SuIlivan.and visited with his mother few min utes before he for the South. Some irresistible power drew him toward the Garden of Eden.
 He landed once more on that hesuti- fui carpet of green.
 He drank once more from the crvs- tai lake and started on his search
 The blush smoke from a distant volcano attracted his attention He neared the active giant, eireled over it, then went toward the southeast, where a new marvel of nature called him.
 Inclosed by rugged meuntaine like the Garden of Eden, but hundred times larger stretched green. fertile valley. From the height at which he was flying fl locked like an enormous basin. with large cone of almost rer- feet shape looming high Tn the center. If WAS an ideal volcano, but instead of smoke steam was pouring from it's mouth and on it's sides and around the base several seyseFs snouiei hun 1reds of feet into the air
 The valley evidently was inhabited as it was highly cultivated. and towns and villages were seen Napoleon flow toward the steaming giant and eircled around it. lower and lower, nntil. by chance. a liquid from one of the gey- sers touched the Eagles wing
 The aerodromone sbuddered and the two wings came together with a shock and stuck. The maclaiee fall tsswn helplessly, like crippled bird
 It had come quickly, yet Naroleon had the presence Of mitd tn turn the tail rudder to break the fall. He did not know whether he was falling to his doom or not; still he shouted ex- citedly: "I have found it."
 The machine crashed into the marshy ground with terrific force. The man in it was hurled against the wall He slid down into motionless heap His eyes were closed, and the right side Of his head was bleeding from contact with the sharp corner of the bench.
