group. A peculiar odor greeted her
nostrils as she entered. 1t 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 I
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 dream. -.
They went to the nearest cottage.
In the doorway stood beautiful ma
tron waiting to receive them.

troduce you to her excellency, the
President of the United Republics"
Astra stepped forward and before
Mrs. Edison could utter 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 un-
derstand each other.

wife. when he had fallen asleep. would
raid the silver supply. Hans. Of
course, was quite aware Of this unkind
proceeding on his wife's part, but
he said nothing as he racked his Teu-
tonic brains for a scheme that would
put an end to this sort of thing.
One night he waited until his spouse
had sunk in slumber. Then he got up,
took all the silver from his pockets,
crept silently back to bed and tied all
the money in corner of his night
shirt. He congratulated himself on
his cleverness, figuring that he had
devised means to stop the raids.

Americans and the Rich.

The United States is perhaps the
only country in the world in which
money, in itself. carries no public hon
or with it, and in which even the most
lavish heaving of coins to the rabble
goes unrewarded. An English Carne-
gle would have had seat in the house
Of lords twenty years ago; FRENCH
Rockefeller would have sported the
grand Gordon Of the Legion OF Honor
before he ever sported toupee; a
German Morgan could never have es.
capped the Red Eagle and privy coun.
Gil. But in the United States great
fortune is the most effective of all bars
to public dignity and preferment. and
even to private respect. Our Ryans
and Harrimans are not idols. but tar
gets: the one sure way to make stir
in politics is to attack them success
fully.-H. L. Mencken in Smart Set.

was impressed by Napoleon's sad
voice, but there were many things to
be considered. and, above all else, his
own pride. A thousand deaths would
be eaoier to account for than the fact
that he, Count Won Werdenstein. at
the command of single man in an
odd airship, turned homeward and
abandoned the invasion of America.
When he spoke, there was bitterness
in his voice:

He closed the window, touched a
lever and with one mighty beat OF the
flexible wings the machine assembled
at least hundred feet.
The count looked otter Napoleon.
His face was pale as he hurriedly de-
scended to the bridge.
