the open air, but the captain shook
hin head. II am sorry to disappoint
you. my dear chevalier, but your ter
ritory ends here" He said this with
such kindness that 1t was plain to the
ehevalier that he was sorry for the
imprisonment.
For two long months the Captain
Hans Euler kept faithful company to
the chevalier.
There no chance to escape from
this prison; not even chance to look
out at the ocean. The Chevalier di
Leon soon realized that he could not
escape and knew that all he could do
was to wait.
The personal belongings that he
had left In the room at the Hotel
Metropole were brought to him, and
great was his satisfaction when he
saw that nothing had been forgotten.
Papers from Berlin and England
were in the reading-room and he was
informed Of the doings of the world.
On the 9Th OF February the chancel-
lor strobe into the reading-room where
the chevalier was comfortably read
ing q novel by the English writer, Sir
Rider Haggard, that had been pub
lished about 1920.
What a pleasant surprise, your ex-
csllency!" bowed the chevalier with
broad smile.
The chancellor was somewhat taken
hack; he had expected a different re-
ception.
"You appear contented here!"

The answer came a. . flash. but
calm and sarcastic:
Il am listening to you, your excel
lency, and as to my coming, did not
come of my own accord; was car
ried." A devilish little smile twinkled
in the gray eyes Of the chevalier.
The chancellor was offended; the
young man dared to play with him.

Your jokes are out OF place: you

Their eyes clashed like the cold

CHAPTER VIII.
The Freworike


Every evening after that, except
when It stormed, the prisoners went
mp on the root. These evenings wsFs
the pleasantest part Of the days.
During the day the chevalief read
the daily papers and magazines with
great interest. He found plenty Of
engrossing news there. especially the
preparations Of the confederated navy
and army. One article, very ven
written BY one Of the chief engineers,
particularly attracted his attention.
That article described the z ray and
its destroyer. The supply station Of
destruction was Madeira, from which
place heavy cables were laid to reach
the 30th longitudinal meridian. along
which the z ray ran. The heaviest
current Of electricity was conducted
by this tremendous cable to three spe
cially built boats. The Sampsonian
vibrating rays were generated on these
boats. Each ray made 5000. 900 vibra,
tions . second and all were directed
IN Z harmonious line toward the z ray
belt. In time the wall Of isolation
would fall down under the immense
force playing against It, and the IN
vasion Of America would follow.
After . long study the chevadea
placed the magazine on the table and
muttered: 1.-THE time for action 4
nearing"
One evening at the dinner table tia
chevalier asked Captain Euler II h.
could have some material for pyro
technical displays in order to lessen
the monotony of their existence.
The kind captain furnished every.
thing he asked for. The countess o.
fered her services and they worked a
most all afternoon the next day get
ting the fireworks ready. d Leon
seemed to be an expert: he soon had
large Japanese wheel, several turn.
ing stars and also number Of long
sky rockets ready.
When evening came they excitedly
prepared for the grand fireworks. Tha
sky was clear and the moon had NOT
yet risen. Chevalier di Leon arranged
the different pieces, and when the cap
tain came up he flred the first air run,
ner. The long rocket went high up
In the air, whirring and whistling, and
then. with a pun, broke into thousands
Of red sparks. Another pun brought
white and the third brought blue.
The next was the japanese sun:
this was fastened to the center Of the
roof. It circled and sparkled for Z
long time.
The chevalier was deeply interested
in his projectiles and. ~ the countess
assisted him. Captain Euler had "a
play the part Of audience. There VA
q larger audience outside their incloo
ure, but that was another world.
When all the set pieces were used
the chevalier looked up In the SKY
seemingly searching for something:
ct last his hand went into his socket
and. bringing out an object not unlike
. Browning pistol, he said: And now
ladies' and gentlemen, will show yos
something new In the pyrotechnical
art"

CLAIMS MADER0'S DEATH
WAS RESULT OF A PLOT

San Francisco. March 21.--Colonel
Manuel Blanche Alcade, publisher of
the New Era, a Mexico City newspa-
per, generally regarded as the mouth
piece Of the late President Madero's
administration, has arrived here with
the assertion that he was Tin a posi-
ton to prove" that Madero was shot
to death and Vice President Suarez
strangled in the national palace on
the night of February % and the
bodies taken to the prison in an auto
, mobile.
"The reported assault by the
guards" says Alcade, "was merely a
ruse, a part Of the plot.
The Intimate friend of Malero, ac-
companied by his family, escaped
from Mexico by Disgusting himself.
Alcade said Madame Madero told
him there was no hope for Madero,
basing her fear on an interview she
, mad with American Ambassador will
son ON the afternoon of February 80,
where she went to implore Wilson to
intercede and save Madero's and
Saurez's lives
! Bitter in his criticism Of Wilson,
Alcade declared Wilson declined to
. intercede to save him from arrest and
DEATH
He said after he (Alcade) had pro-
tected fifteen American families in
his school where he commanded 300
soldiers, he went to Wilson, after the
Huerta coup, fearing arrest, and ap-
pealed for aid. Soon afterward a
friend told Alcade. he asserts, that
Wilson turned the names of Alcade
and his brother over to the secretary
of the interior, who ordered their ar
rest. Alcade, his family and brother
fed.
