CHAPTER V.
The Countess Roslny,

Chevalier di Leon and his compan- ion hardly had left the room when the count gave orders that caused two men to emerge from the side door at the instant the two men approached the waiting conveyance. These two men took separate cabs and found 1t an easy matter to follow the quarry, as they had no desire to avoid the detectives.
 Herr Kalmar returned to the edito rial rooms and Chevalier di Leon went to his hotel, where he bought a num- Der of papers and magazines.
 The secret service reported at II % p. m. that he had retired, sand eonsid ering him safe for the next eight hours they did likewise. There they made a mistake. The chevalier read until twelve. Then, cautiously open ing the door, he looked into the hall and listened.
 No one was in sight and no sound came to his ears. so he turned and picked up a small box and hurried with it to the fire escape at the end of the hall.
 & was a clear. starry night, but no moon was shining. He mounted to the square, flat roof. and listening again advanced to the center and leaned against the chimney about which the snow had melted. He looked at the sky for a long time until he discov- Cred the star he was looking for. Was 1t a star? It gleamed like one, but 1t winked like an old-fashioned revolving lighthouse.
 Chevaler di Leon took the object he brought with him, and directing It toward that winking star he manipu lated something that gaze metallic sound. A hiss followed, like the hiss of a bullet.
 A minute later another star ap- peared near the winking one. It was large and bright and seemed to spit fire. Suddenly it disappeared in a small white cloud, looking like a shrapnel exploding in midair.
 ae winking star vanished entirely.
 Then the chevalier returned to his rooms and went to bed.
 The following morning at nine o'clock he stood before the chancellor.
 The count bowed to him more cor.

near the counts residence.
 The court ball was one of the formal social events of the week. The room in which the court marshal and his assistants received the guests was in the ultra-seeession style. When the chevalier entered it he received the impression of entering gigantic we'd ding cake that had been hollowed and decorated artfully on the inside.
 The stiff courtesy that once pre- vailed at the court of Frederick the Great still was in existence during ceremonious affairs. Only the few French diplomats seemed to have ease of bearing and certain freedom of movement.
 The Count von Werdenstein ap- preached the eheyalier with unusual kindness and introduced him to many oS the guests. The plain, black eve ming dress, without stars, crosses, rib bons or other signs of distinction. was strange under this roof and among thest gorgeous uniforms.
 Baron von Koener was asked by the chancellor to take care of the cheva. Her, and the little huzzar did his best to entertain the interesting chevalier, whose sole reason for being there was that he had some great and valuable invention for military purposes.
 At 10:00 D. m. the great double doors were flung open. Tine master of ceremony came in with his big gilt cane and knocked on the floor to an pounce the arrival of his majesty.
 The emperor. a tall, typical Prus- sian. came first. leading the Princess of Wales, then came the Prince of Wales, escorting the Princess isold . the young emperor was not married.
 The hidden orchestra played the ol melody, Die Wacht am Rhein." When his majesty finished the regular circle the chancellor introduced the cheva- Her. The courtiers fell back at mo. tion from the emperor and he and the chevalier spent some time in what was apparently an intimate converse. ton. When the dance began he was dismissed and the emperor waltzeG around the great hall once with his cousin. the Princess of Wales.
 Chevalier di Leon stood alone for q short time. watching the dancers with interest; then the Baron von Koener came and whispered in his ear that the Countess Rosiny desired to dance with him. Di Leon smiled pleasantly and followed the baron, who led him to a young woman of great beauty.
 Her large, dark eyes rested on the lowing chevalier; her rosy checks dimpled in smile as she stood up to take his arm They waltzed away from

the baron, who looked after them with admiration.
 The chevalier proved to be master of waltzing; disregarding the usual habit, he did not stop after the first tour of the room, but continued. The countess smiled at him coguettishly.
 "Chevalier, you dance wonderfully"
 "Ah, you, countess, are the dream of dancer"
 They arrived at the countess chair, but the chevalier showed no signs Of stopping and carried her along as eas- fly and gracefully as the morning breeze carries the fragment of thistle down.
 We are creating a sensation, Chev. alier di Leon."
 His majesty and the princess lef' the ball at midnight and soon after the Countess Rosiny found an oppor tunity to talk once more to the cheva Her.
 Am I asking too much of you il inviting you to our house bali on Sat urday next?"
 The chevalier bowed and smiled a the countess, whose long. stlky eye lashes shaded hey beautiful eyes witt such apparent innocence.
 T am very much honored," he said simply.
 He met the chancellor once more in the buffet that adjoined the great ball room. He took the chevalier by hi arm and led him to table There. ir the company of high noble5 and dinie mats, they clinked glasses and drank to the health of His Majesty, the Elm peror of Germany.
 Seemingly it was a pleasant, enjoy able social affair, with everything sf smooth and polished that one migh easily make a dangerous slip ans break his own neck.
 When Chevalier di Leon arrived f his apartment he was well aware tha he had been followed, but he did no care. He was thinking of the b. witching Countess Rosiny. Where hat he met her?
 At last he found the place in fhs we'll classified memories. "The Amer ican Cafe Restaurant" he calculated Then without further delay he went k bed.
 The chancellor sat in his librar. awaiting the report of his followers As soon as he received the ,fcrma ton that the chevalier had gone .

The elections of the south. ern republics took place at different dates. but throughout the continent the continentals were in power.
 The girl upon whom future respon- abilities rested heavily, was strength ening herself for coming events. She was occupied consulting politicians, generals, admirals, making flying trips. to the Notifications that were rapidly going up, or being remodeled accord ing to the new requirements of the ines.
 Constantly she expected news from the man she had seen only once. the man whom she looked upon ss the de- liyerer of the American continent, and also the man she loved
 Days. weeks, months went by The day Of inauguration came. She had expected confidently that she would hear from him. or see him on the day she took the oath at the capitol, bat she was disappointed
 The whole American continent ceie- bratcd the day. but t was empty of joy for her. the President
 She appeared in white. simple, beautiful. nnadorned except for the ring which he had given and she al. ways wore. She looked like bride on her way to the altar with the man she had chosen.
 The ceremonies occupied almost the entire day, and the evening was spent at the ball given by the continental ists. Throughout the congratulations that were received d shadow was hoy. ering over all.
 It was late when Astra arrived at her home. She looked over the cor. respondence that awaited her There was no line from the man whose hand. writing she had never seen. no news whatever from Napoleon Edison.
 Yet he had said. You will hear from me as soon as I can tell you something definite. When you need me I will be at your side ready to help you"

 bed and was safely sleeping he did likewise, but he did not sleep as soundly as di Leon. He had troubled dreams.
 The reports that the chancellor re- ceived from the men who were eollow- ing the shevaler the next day were not exciting. He had visited the mu- seumS, studied new industries and, in face, was interested in everything. Shortly before Dightfall he went to his hangar, brought out his plane and cruised about above the city, finally ascending such height That he al- most vanished from the eyes of he detectives. By ten o'clock he was again at the hotel.
 Saturday evening the eheva,ier at- tended the house ball at the palace of the Countess Rosiny. He even played at the card tables, losing a few gold pieces. The detectives obtained ;. number of twenty mark coins and sent them to the chancellor with their report; every one was of nineteenth century make.
 The Countess Rosiny was summoned to a long confidential talk. No one knew what they discussed, but when the countess was home and alone Tn her dainty, perfumed boudoir, she locked the door and flung herself on her sofa, weeping bitterly.
 IT shall betray him, the first real man ] have ever seen; besides, how can be certain that he will love me?" She clenched her little fist and shook 1t at the portrait of man who hap eened to be her husband You fiend. see what you have made of mel"
 Everythine went smoothly; nobody interfered with the chevaler's actions, although he knew every move he made was watched
 One evening. after returning from one of his daily aerial trips. as he jumped out of his machine, dark robe wa cast over his head and a number of men grasped him. He struggled, but strong hands held him fast and few minutes later he was bound and nearly euffocated by a heavy cloth that shut out the air. Then the cloth was removed and a tight fitting bandage placed over his eyes.
 Will the chevalier promise to keep ouiet?" asked strange voice For, in that case, will not be forced to gag him"
 T premise," was the helpless chora- Hers answer.
 He was placed on stretcher-,ike affair and carried away.
 He could not see, but his sense of hearing told him that they carried him to near by hangar; there hs was placed in some kind of tonDeaI and he heard the chug. chug of very powerful motor. The buzz of the pro- pellers followed.
 The next moment he felt the lift- ing of the aeroplane; the air craft l made one turn, then shot out under full power. Several hours passed without change, but when the ma chine began to descend he recognize d the fresh, salty air of the oceaD, and he heard the water break on the roek | in peculiar. mournful manner
