CHAPTER x.
Between z RAYS.

The general of the confederated Eu-
ropean army and navy had arrived on
the scene of action. The first lie of
resistance was down, and he believed
the American continent ready for oc-
cupancy. In his official aeroplane he
had hurried to take command.
Shortly after his arrived the scout
ing cruiser, Beelzebub, ran into the
second line OF q rays and so reported
by wireless to the admirals ship. The
man of war shook his fist toward the
west; you will not escape me, nsy-
ertheless!" He was angry and gave
hurried orders to lay the necessary
cables and move the engineering boats
forward.
He had hardly finished his orders
when another message came that was
tritling, yet 1t annoyed him. The cruis-
ing aeroplanes sent word that ire
mendous American eagle We ap-
pronching from the west. Many re.
membered that the eagle had been
seen above Berlin; many of the sea-
men predicted disaster. Others laughed
and did not take the news seriously.
The Count Won Werdenstein stood
on the bridge of the flagship Empress
Brigitta- His powerful glass eagerly
sought the western horizon, searching
tho sky for that eagle.
The strange air craft crept nearer,
headed directly for the flagship. The
count saw that the under portion OF
the body was transparent, and that q
single man was In it.
| When the air craft arrived about
two hundred feet above the flagship the
red, white and blue flag with the stars
was unfurled, and the craft stopped its
flight, resting easily on the air, lazily
moving its wings.
Was 1t the wonderful performance
which had thrilled tho seamen, or was
1t an intended cheer? Nobody knows
but all those VINO could see tho eagle
shouted huzza. Only one man bit
his lips nervously, the Count Won Wer
denstein.
The American flag saluted the cheer
ing men, then a white flag of truce ap
| peared beside 1t.
