to leave the rest until such time n
he needed It.
New hangers were built on the
island The work progressed rapidly
Aerodromone after aerodromone Of
the new type was stored away by the
expert workmen.
Napoleon's visits to Astra were his
happiest hours. He connded his hopes
and expectations to her. She gave him
all the sympathy and encouragement
at her command Their lives were IT.
tuned to perfect harmony.
The work on Ciryns had progressed
so well that Whistler was able to over
see It all without Napoleon's assist.
ance and one day he took leave from
Astra with the following words:
Il am going to pay \ visit to our
excellent friend. the Count Won Wer-
denstein. and then. when have ascer-

committee. will 90 on still hunt for
the fnal preventive OF war"
The Count Won Werdenstein's palace
was equipped with = roof hangar, a.
we're all the large private dwellings.
and the Eagle found 1t an easy matter
to alight there without molestation.
Napoleon had sent a graph message
to the count to expect him, but did
not mention the time of his arrival.
The quick descent made It impos-
sible for the observers to discern the
type of machine that alighted, and the
workmen in the hangar did not pay
any attention to Sullivan when Ma
poleon left the craft. Sullivan simply
locked the door and sat reading until
his return.
The count was very much surprised
to receive his card. as the attendants
had not announced him. Nevertheless,
he received him in his usual suave
manner.
Napoleon saw and felt that the count
was In an extremely happy state Of
mind. that he was no more in despair,
but hopeful.
Il am very glad to see your excel
lency drop into our circle once more"
He grasped both hands OF the presi-
dent of the peace committee.

That is why dropped into your home

you are welcome"
II thought you would be kind enough
to listen to me. You remember my
last visit here. when l wanted you to
sell me, or to help me purchase the
Peak Suemeg in Hungary? At that
time thought the place contained the
crystals of cirynith, the substance
from which my aerodromones are
made" Napoleon paused. and the
count looked at him cautiously.
Il took some samples of the crystals
when discovered 1t. and analysed
them. To my surprise / found that 1t

qualities that the cirynith of Ciryne
has" He paused again; still the count
said nothing. Now, / am sorry that
have troubled you in this matter,
rs do not want the property, for my
experiments have proved to me that
the crystals are worthless for my pur-
poses."
But you are mistaken" blurted out
he count. He realized In the same
second that he had made mistake,
but, after all. what difference could It
maker Napoleon smiled serenely, and
rave no sign of satisfaction at having
brought this information from the
,ount.
"All can tell you is" continued he,
