SYNOPSIS.

For fifty years the continent Of North
America had been isolated from the rest
of the world by the use of Trays: won

had been united under one government
with Prudent as president. For hall "a. a
century peace and prosperity relgnea III
with President Prudent critically Ill. His
death is fastened by the receipt OF
message from Count Won Werdenste1n OF
Germany that he has at last succeeded In
his daughter Astra that this means for

He is seized at night and carried of In
an areoplane. Astra is inaugurated as
president. She receives a message from
Edison, whose long silence has worried
her. that he has been prisoner for two
months on the island of Helgoland ana
has just escaped. He announces that the

spy, becomes prisoner in hope of secur-
ing Napoleons secret. She falls in love
with him. She agrees to join him in an
attempt to escape. BY the use Of fire

of Ciryne in the Pacific.

CHAPTER X.
Between z Ravs.

Between Rays.
The general of the confederated Eu-
ropean army and navy had arrived on
the scene of action. The first line of
resistance was down, and he believed
the American continent ready for oc-
cupancy. In his official aeroplane he
had hurried to take command.
Shortly after his arrived the scout
ing cruiser, Beelzebub, ran into the
second line Of rays and so reported
by wireless to the admiral's ship. The
man Of war shook his fist toward the
west: "You will not escape me, new
ertheless!" He was angry and gave
hurried orders to lay the necessary
cables and move the engineering boats
forward
He had hardly finished his orders
when another message came that was
trif1ing, yet it annoyed him. The cruis-
ing aeroplanes sent word that ire
mendous American eagle was ap-
preaching from the west. Many re-
membered that the eagle had been
seen above Berlin; many of the sea-
men predicted disaster. Others laughed
and did not take the news seriously.
The Count Won Werdenstein stood
on the bridge of the flagship Empress
Brigitta. His powerful glass eagerly
sought the western horizon. searching
the sky for that eagle.
The strange air craft crept nearer,
headed directly for the flagship. The

Los Angeles-then came the ocean
Astra sat silent She had q great
mind and her appreciative qualities
were far above the average.
"The greenish light that You see Just
before US is the Island Of Ciryne," said
Napoleon.
A few minutes later the aerodromone
settled down in a very large hangar,
but as the place was dark Astra could
not see the machine and it's outer ap-
pearance. Napoleon helped her out
and, showing her his watch, convinced
her that they had made the trip In
three hours; it was eleven o'clock.
"Ag rapidly as the earth revolves.'
remarked Astra.
Napoleon led Astra into large
square building In the center Of the
group. A peculiar odor greeted her
nostrils as she entered. It was not
disagreeable, but reminded her OF
some oppressive tropical flower. She
followed Napoleon into the private lab
oratory.
Hours passed while Napoleon told
the President everything and the
dawn was breaking as he led her out
into the air. He led her to the hangar
again and, turning all the electric
lights on, he showed her all the aero
dromones. "Six in all. and with these
can fight against the world and win.
Before Astra could reply, he said:
"And now, your excellency, would
like to introduce you to the queen
Of this little colony"
Astra felt faint, but followed Napo
leon as If in a dream. ).
They went to the nearest cottage
In the doorway stood beautiful ma
iron waiting to receive them.

troduce you to her excellency. the
President of the United Republics"
Astra stepped forward and before
Mrs. Edison could utter a word she
embraced and kissed her, then. bow
ing her head on the matron's bosom
she wept tears of joy.
Neither spoke. They seemed to IN
derstand each other.

Josephus Daniels, Jr., son Of the
secretary of the navy, has been re

CHAPTER Discontinued.

Napoleon bowed, and SO the matter
was settled.
The Countess ROSETTA Rosiny was
led into the room.
Astra embraced the countess kindly.
Welcome to our continent. my dear
countess"
Countess Rosiny sobbed. Her heart
seemed touched by the kind reception
given her by the representative Of the
greatest republic! But though Napo-
Deon Edison was scientist, inventor
and discoverer, he could not see into
the heart of the weak, beautiful wom-
an. Had he known what was going
on within it, he would have acted diff
ferently.
with her In the Crystal Palace. 1t
was almost midnight when Napoleon
left, assuring Astra that he would call
for her at eleven the next evening.
At the time appointed he was at the
door with powerful automobile. As
ira refused to sit in the tonneau Of the
machine, so Napoleon assisted her to
the seat beside him at the wheel and
she let her hand rest lightly on his
arm. The big machine ran evenly out
Of town, into the suburbs, and turned
into big garden that was natural
forest. The large mansion was desert
ed, but garage showed signs of life.
A broad stream of light spread out
into the quiet summer night from one
window. The sound of Napoleon's
horn must have been familiar to the
occupant of the building, as the large
door was pushed open In time to let
the large car enter.
Napoleon stopped the car and as
sisted the President down. Then TAX
ing the arm of man who opened the
door, he said:
"Excellency, allow me to present Mr..
Santos Duprel, my best and trusted
comrade"
The short man bowed with rever-
ence.
"Is everything ready?" asked Napo-
leon. The little man nodded.
! Napoleon opened door and led his
guest through it; Santos locked the
door of the garage and followed them.
The room they entered opened sky
ward. A shimmering object, entirely
filling the place, cleaned in the star
light. Napoleon led the President up
few steps, into small space that
was inclosed, but with something that
was perfectly transparent, and asked
her to sit down on couch.
VIII you kindly wait here for q few
moments?" he asked, and he went fur

used to the dim light: she saw Napo-
leon stop before some complicated
mechanism and steering wheel. San

was no doubt that her trance had been
