3cient for. his purposes, 80 he went
farther.
Immediately upon Santos return
from Ciryne with Rositta ne had been
dispatched upon this search, and Ma
poleon himself started out the next
morning. His wound was SO slight
that II did not interfere with his move
ments, and he started early, flying
toward Italy. He went slowly along
the western coast Of that boot-like pc
ninsula, searching diligently. but with
out results.
Santos was looking through the
Alps. The Door fellow labored under
great difficulties. His mind was not
Iclear enough to work or the delicate

The kaleidoscope suddenly began to
show interesting colors and recalled
him from his dreams. The tiny plate
that was framed in platinum glowed
greenly; Il was like a pale emerald.
and growing more intense at every
stroke Of the great birds wings.
Santos looked around. He saw a
splendid picture: Toward the right
great forests stretched, then came a
few volcano peaks, with ancient ruins
on top. and beyond all this spread a
long. silver lake.
Before him was q mighty plain In
the center Of which stood n tremen-
dous pyramid with the top as fiat and
level as though II had been sliced on
with a knife.
The kaleidoscope showed plainly that
this pyramidliko hill was rich In the
precious cirynith. Santos wal so ex.
cited that he forgot even ROSETTA for
, a while. The plateau and the whole
pyramid was barren OF human beings.
I so he descended.
IL had been thousands OF years since
the volcano had been active. and the
> lava composition was full OF tho crys-
] tails that produce cirynith. Santos

began to figure out his geographical
situation. He found that he wal near

He went up high In the air and ad-
o justing the electro.stylograph, with
which all the aerodromones were

for Napoleon.
In q few minutes the connection was
established and Santos told Napoleon
OF his discovery.

until he discovered In the southwest
crn sky the rapidly approaching Amer.

They met on top OF the 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 his dis
covcry. After he had inspected the
ground thoroughly he could not find
words to express his Joy. but as he

thanksgiving toward the o~mnipotent
being who creatcs and governs the

coming century"
It They started homeward.
Napoleon communicated, through
