Queen Of the Air.

| A few days after Napoleon's visit
to Berlin the chancellor related to the
Princess Schomburg Lithow his con-
versation with the president Of the
peace committee.
MY dear count" remarked the
beautiful Rositta disagreeably, you
are getting old; you should retire from
diplomatic service altogether"
The chancellor took the rebuke as

plined lately, and said what she would.

Napoleon Edison's diplomacy? Don't
you realize that you gave him all the
information he wanted7 As said, It
is time for you to retire and give your
place to one who is clever enough to
take care Of It."

scrupulous."
She laughed. and all at once turned
into different being.

eyes lit up, however, when they rested
on ROSETTA She still had the power to
do with him what she would.
After greeting the Count Won Wer-
denstein he told him that sixteen aero
dromones were finished, tried and
stored away. and five more were In
the workshops. 1t was only a ques-
ton Of two or more months until they
would be ready for action.
