were swept away in the wave OF hap

his short neck. He embraced the ex-

suffered, but she only replied with
sweet, sense ensnaring smile. Santos
declared:
"You have no idea what power you
possess over me. am your slave.
You can make of me what you will, .
hero or traitor. am ready to die
for you"
It was not necessary for Santos to
tell this. Rositta knew her power
even better than Santos.
They were nearing Ciryne. and San
tos tried to regain his normal com
posure. Rositta said gravely:
Listen to me, my dear. We must
be very careful what we do. love

long as we live. You are all alone.

The countess gazed straight ahead,
her hand still nestled in Santos. She
continued:
II have been all alone. The Presi-
dent, Mr. Edison and his dear mother
have been very good to me, but have
longed for someone to be my very

Could Santos have seen behind that
artful schemer's veil, he would have
recoiled, horror-stricken But he could
only see the tender light in her eyes,
and hear the loving words from her
lips.

~Have you ever thought Of the fu-
ture?" asked Napoleon, after silence.
Il have, Napoleon. have thought,
that when we have finished our task,
when we have done the things my
father wished done for the good of the
United Republics, then we may retire
to that little island where your mother
lives, and rest and be happy until the
end of our days. There your genius
will create new, useful things that
will make humanity happier, things
that will help eradicate poverty and
misery"
Dear girl! l have a premonition
that the days you dream of are still
far off; that those intriguers in Eu-
rope are planning and scheming and
that when we least expect it, trouble
will begin. For that reason, l believe

They stopped and stood silent for a
moment, then Astra leaned her head
on Napoleon's shoulder and tenderly
and lovingly she whispered:
Your thought is my thought; l will
follow wherever you lead"
In the meantime the aerodromone
was rapidly nearing Ciryne.
Rositta had sat motionless for a
short time, her mind revolving all the
details of her plan.
Santos sat with his hands on the
wheel, eyes straight forward, watching
the faint yellowish glow that marked
the horizon. His heart throbbed with
happiness. He felt the presence OF

CHAPTER XVI.
A New Princess.

Napoleon found obstacles in the
way of obtaining the property where
he had discovered the desired cirynith.
The German crown declared 1t was
not for sale. He asked for long
lease, and the right to mine the Peak
Suemeg, but that would conflict with
the laws of Hungarian lease and rent
al rights.
Realizing that he never would ar
rive at the actual working of the mine.
unless he took decided step, he paid
visit to the Count Won Werdenstein
personally.
This time he crossed the ocean in
one of the newest English liners that
made the trip between New York and
Liverpool in three days.
Upon his arrival in Berlin he visited
his friend, Herr Kalmar, before he
even sought a hotel. The German
was very happy to see the man with
whom he had SO many pleasant deal
ings, and readily explained the politi-
cal situation in Europe. He frankly
said that there was possibility of an
international disturbance; the people
were happy, but the nobility, and.
more particularly, the idle army and
navy officers, were agitating the Ques-
ton of restoring the standing armies
and aerial and naval defenses.
Napoleon listened gravely to the
opinions Of this brave and broad
minded man who was doing all he
could to enlighten the people. He
knew Herr Kalmar was perfectly
trustworthy man, SO he told him about
his difficulties in obtaining Peak Sue
meg.
Herr Kalmar said: IT believe that

tanned the kaiser's good will, and has,
no doubt, delayed matters because he
wanted to find out why you want the
Peak Suemeg SO badly. His spies are
probably ct work trying to ascertain
the value of the Peak, so that he can
atilize it for his own purposes"
Napoleon acknowledged this fact.
