 Hardly two miles separated the Eagle and the Princess when Napo- leon turned and flew at full speed toward America. The Princess fol lowed. The larger bird slowly gained on the retreating Eagle. Rositta's eyes glowed with excitement; the man whom she feared, loved and hated was running from her.
 It seemed as though they gained on him with more rapidity; half a mile, then a quarter, then only yards were between them. Rositta was now sure of her prey and clutched the railing behind Santos, whispering sweet and encouraging words in his ear. She shook from the excitement Of the chase and never noticed that the six. teen aerodromones had been left far behind.
