dHN II lueSe were uSSlTOyeu, He never would be able to gain the victory. The fact that Napoleon's mother and all his mechanics were to be destroyed did not influence Rositta's plans in the least.
 Seven weeks went by. The situation was the same, except that the fotilla of twenty aerodromones was ready at Suemeg and it's crew was praetieing maneuyers day after day. They were working on one more machine, as Re- sitta was superstitious, believing that the number twenty-one was her lucky one.
 The European monarchs had all signed |. decree demanding the right Of restoring a standing army, and this demand had been sent to the peace committee in Washington.
 This request was couched in re spectful terms, but conveyed the infor- nation that in case the same was re fused the European countries would act according to their own convictions. No mention was made of the aerodro- none fleet, but American secret agents had discovered the existence Of this fleet and shrewd reporter on the Hourly Stylograph managed to gain the information. Whole pages advertised the fact that it was ready 10 swoop down upon the American continent and conquer it. Then the t'ival papers took it up and vivid fan .,ies were printed; some declared thai Napoleon Edison was held d prisoner md would be compelled to join the European forces to save his life. In the meantime the congress ane he peace committee considered the l European demand.
 Amtosio Hale, Vice-president, delv ared great address. urging the unioi to isolate the American coatinen again.
 What need have we of E1rcrea commerce and troubles? The Amer :an continent is ours. we love 1t al, we can live on 1t. The Z-ray station have been kept in order and we cal easily cut ourselves off from thos, warning countries. We will not be the losers" So his address ran He sat down amid tremendous applause.
 However, another orator arose and propoHndod opposite reasons for open ports and no determination was reached.
 Astra and her mether-in-law were sitting in the library at the Crystal Palace depressed and sad. The uncer- tainty Of Napoleon's fate caused long. sleepless nights.
 Thus they had lived, day after day. | hopefully and fearfully.
 The life of the woman who had been the handspring of all their troubles was different The Princess Rositta had never been happier than now The twenty-first aerodromone was finished, and she, like a general, would drill her flying squadron per sonally.
 Rositta had acquired great skill in handling the aerodromone, and she
 could execute the capturing act very
 easily. She was loved by the whole crew. which was composed of men from noble families
 These men admired their leader, they were hypnotized by her charms duu Snt nuuuItu tHtiH SO tHdi iDty were, as one man, ready to give their lives for her
 After successful maneuver day i Resitta gave the order to her men to gather in the large hall. The hail was the schoolroom where Santos taught them the art of aviation in theory.
 There were forty men in all--young, vigorous, brave and bold When Ro- sitta entered, followed by her bus band. cheer rang out: "Uurrah for our princessi"
 She walked to the platform, and her clear voice rang through the hall; "Gentlemen!" The silence was in tense. T have called you together to explain the situation. The American 1 continent has voluntarily taken from us Europeans, children Of different caste. different race, our most cher ished traditions. There is not one among you who is not nobleman You all know the situation and Eu- ropes eyes rest on us. Europe is awaiting our action to restore the old order of things. We have the might! i Think of these words: We have the | might!' Therefore, we have the right. The aerodromoHe fotilla is my own property. Think this over and con- slider!
 "Is it right that that we-should obey orders that come from powerIess l rulers? That we the gallant aerial fleet, should consider those who are held to the ground? That we who have the might should obey anyone else except the one we choose2
 Gentlemen, we were all born to be rulers. or I would not have selected you ss my aviators. Gentlemen! You must select one of us for our com. mander. and we will rule the wurldi"
 'Hurrah for the aueaa! Hurrah for the queen of the afr, ItGrrsh for Queen Rositta,"
 How sweet that sounded to the b-na. tiful woman, A tear siistened in her eve, She ran Into their arms and kissed one after another The last was Santos and ha was tho la.,.f on
