1 right wing of the nne; then the sham

r1S0t wing or tne Iuos then Cn6 sham battle began.
 The princess could not resist the i'm pulse to show her prowess. Santos flung their aerodromone into the fight; they lodged and turned, each trying to gain in elevation. Finally, with a quick spring the Princess" evaded its enemy and slid between it's wings from the back and the next moment the enemy was a captive.
 It was an exhilarating sport
 "I congratulate you. princess" said the count to the intoxicated Rositta.
 The Princess carried the captive machine back to Suemeg with ease. The other machines returned, one discussing the tactics of air warfare.
 After the inspection dinner vas served, in which the whole squadron took sSart. Werdenstein greeted sev- eral ofthem as old acquaintances and friends of those good days when the armies held their own and when he was planning to conquer the American continent. The times had changed. Now the air men ruled-at the com mand of a beautiful, bold woman, whose only motive seemed to be vanity.
 These gloomy forebodings were war ranted sooner than he expected. Only appetizers and soup had been served, when Count de Korona stood up and addressed the gathering:
 The pleasure of greeting the world famous chancellor, the iron-handed man of the German Empire, has been given me. It is a great honor for us to have you at our feast, and we, the conquerors of the air, greet you, who are considered the representative of all the European powers"
 Rositta smiled sweetly at the chan cellor, who was watching the speaker in amazement- After a short pause, de Korona continued:
 We greet you as such, as a repre- sentative, and I, in my comrades names, ask your excellency to be with us in heart and drink to the elected queen of the air, who is distined to be queen of the world. Long live our beloved Queen Rositta."
 The huzzas that thundered through the hall told the chancellor plainly that this was no pleasantly. His sus- picions had not been without founda- tion. He paled and when the tumult termined and without a word left the hall.
 This action made Rositta furious, but she did not show her indigna- tion- "The chancellor seems to have lost his appetite" was all she said.
 After the dinner was over, she gave few curt orders and the aeromen proceeded into another hall beautifully and regally decorated. At the far end stood a magnificent throne.
 Rositta retired to her own apart the chancellor to the throneroom. They found him soberly pacing the distance between the entrance gate and the first hangar.
 He followed them. Rositta sat on the throne with a glittering cirynith crown on her head. She was moro beautiful than ever
 The Count von Werdenstein was led before her. He showed no surprise. His face was calm and his whole atti- tude expressed disinterest.
 "I have requested that your excel lency come to Suemeg, for I have 6 message that I want brought before the whole worlS."
 The count looked at her steadily, and without waiting to hear her fur. ther words he said in his strong, pen etrating voice:
 T tell you, woman, to stand before me. Tell me your petition standing. Then I may listen to 1t. Do not for get that represent the Emperor of Germany"
 Had these words not been spoken in such deadly earnestness some of the audience would have found the scene ridiculous. As it was, 1t was grave and embarrassing and every one stood stunned
 The blood left Rositta's cheeks and 1t took almost minute for her to recover her composure. Then she rose and pointing at the chancellor, said in a shrill voice:
 Take him away-back to Berlin quick or shall forget myself and kill him!"
