This finished the formal part of the
visit and they talked a short time on
ordinary topics. Then Napoleon in
vited the count to have a ride in his
aerodromone.
That will be a treat. | 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 assembled and at Napo-
Icons glance Sullivan opened the door
and the count was courteously ush-
cred to the comfortable cabin. SuIli-
van was at the wheel and the bird
flew few thousG nd feet over the
town, going slowly, so that the count
could appreciate the easy flight. Ma
poleon sat by him, explaining the

When the count alighted on his own
roof he shook Napoleon's hand warm

we were governed by the same ideals,
as would like you for friend"
"The time may come when we will
have the same ideals" commented Ma
poleon. The Eagle few away and van

Napoleon spent few hours in the
capital attending to committee affairs,
and the next morning left again. His
knowledge Of chemistry told him that
there should be 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 q
thorough search through all the vol
canic regions of Western America be-

with chemical combinations. He

The blush smoke from a distant
volcano attracted his attention. He
neared the active giant, circled over
it, then went toward the southeast,
where a new marvel of nature called
him.
Inclosed by rugged mountains like
the Garden of Eden, but hundred
times larger, stretched a green, fertile
valley. From the height at which he
was flying it looked like an enormous
basin, with large cone of almost per
feet shape looming high in the center.
1t was an ideal volcano, but instead of
smoke steam was pouring from it's
mouth, and on its sides and around
the base several geysers spouted hun.

The valley evidently was inhabited,
as it was highly cultivated, and towns

The aerodromone shuddered and the
two wings came together with a shock

1t had come quickly, yet Napoleon
had the presence of mind to turn the

not know whether he was falling to
his doom or not; still he shouted ex-

His eyes were closed, and the right
side of his head was bleeding from
contact with the sharp corner of the
bench.
