CHAPTER XIV.
The New cirxnith penosit.

The New cirynith Deposit.
 The fact that Rositta found stranger in the aerodromone, instead of Santos Duprel, was not the result of any suspicion on Napoleon's part. Santos had received more important order.
 The substance "cirynith," that won- l derful, glittering element that com bined all the qualities of glass and rub Der, that was thousand times i stronger than steel, lighter than slu- minum and absolutely indestructible, was very scarce. The volcanic island of Ciryne, where Napoleon had discov- cred the precious metal was rapidly 1 becoming depleted of the material with which to build aerodromones, and as ] Napoleon's plans for the future were 1 based on eirynith, he must look for | other sources of supply. He felt con- l vineed that this metal must be ip other places, and whenever he had l time he few over countries where he l suspected it's existence.
 A wonderful instrument, similar to a spectroscope, was of great assist. ance to him in his searches. He had found some trace of cirynith in the volcanic regions in Italy, but not suf l fieient for his purposes, so he went farther.
 Immediately upon Santos return l from Ciryne with Rositta he had been dispatched upon this search, and Ma poleon himself started out the next morning His wound was SO slight that it did not interfere with his move ments, and he started early, flying toward Italy. He went slowly along the western coast of that bootlike pc. ninsula, searching diligently, but with out results.
 Santos was looking through the Alps. The poor fellow labored under great difficulties. His mind was not clear enough to work on the delicate radioscope. Rositta had robbed him of his peace and he dreamed more than he watched the changing colors of the little instrument.
 The radioscope suddenly began to show interesting colors and recalled him from his dreams. The tiny plate that was framed in platinum glowed greenly; 1t was like a pale emerald and growing more intense at every stroke of the great birds wings
 Santos looked around. He saw splendid picture: Toward the right great forests stretched, then came a few volcano peaks, with ancient ruine on top, and beyond all this spread long. silver lake.
 Before him was mighty plain in the center of which stood tremen. dous pyramid with the top as fiat and level as though 1t had been sliced off with a knife
 The radioscope showed plainly that 1 this pyramidlike hill was rich in the precious cirynith. Santos was SO ex- cited that he forgot even Rositta for while. The plateau and the whole 1 pyramid was barren Of human beings. so he descended
 It had been thousands of years since the volcano had been active. and the lava composition was full of the crys- tals that produce eirynith Santos gathered some in a small box and then began to figure out his geographical situation. He found that he was near the town Kis-cell County Suemeg "I am in Hungary" he muttered And this is richer deposit Of cirynith than the master ever expected to find"
 He went up high in the air and ad justing the electro-styloeraph with which all the aerodromones were equipped he began to send out calls for Napoleon.
 In few minutes the connection was established and Santos told Napoleon of his discovery
 "Wait for me, my dear boy, I am coming" Santos saw Napoleon adjpst the mechanism to full power, then dart forward They spoke from time to time, and Santos gave directions. until he discovered in the southwest orn sky the rapidly approaching Amer lean Eagle.
 They met on top Of tle extinct vol cano that was called Suemeg, on whose slopes the richest grape vines grew.
 Napoleon shook Santos hand warm ly and congratulated him on bis dis coyery. After he had inspected the ground thoroughly he could not find words to express his joy, but as he knelt there, looking up, his whole be ing expressed a silent prayer Of thanksgiving toward tine omnipotent being who creates and governs the universe.
 We don't need to look farther. San tos; there is sufficient cirynith under our feet to meet the demands of the coming century"
 They started hnmeward.
