 Santos now took the wheel and Ma poleon sat down opposite the Presi- dent. He pointed out the different places as they rushed over them Frankfort, Louisville, St. Louis, Wich- ita, Ashland, Santa Fe, Prescott and Los Angeles-then came the ocean. Astra sat silent. She had 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 very large hangar. but as the place was dark Astra could pearance. Napoleon helped her out and, showing her his watch, convinced her that they had made the trip in three hours; 1t was eleven o'clock.
 'As rapidly as the earth revolves," remarked Astra
 Napoleon led Astra into a 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 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 a dream. =. They went to the nearest cottage. In the doorway stood a beautiful ma tron waiting to receive them.

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- gie would have had seat in the house of lords twenty years ago; a French Rockefeller would have sported the grand cordon of the Legion of Honor before he ever sported toupee; a German Morgan could never have es- capped the Red Eagle and privy coun- cil. But in the United States a 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 a stir in politics is to attack them success fully.-H. L. Mencken in Smart Set.

CHAPTER x.
Between z Rays.

The general of the confederated Flu 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 arrivel 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, nev- ertheless!" He was angry and gave hurried orders to lay the necessary cables and move the engineering beats forward.
 He had hardly finished his orders when another message came that was trifling, yet it annoyed him. The cruis- ing aeroplanes sent word that tre- 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 von 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

TRAIN BOYS TO RAISE HOGS
Department of Agriculture Gives In structions for Pig cIub-Some of
 Important Points.

In this time of the shortage of beet raise more hogs. .
 That's Uncle Sam's advice, given through his department of agriculture, says the Kansas City Star. To be sure the farmers won't forget it, he would train them as boys and boys pig clubs are his means of education. #
 Any boy who has a pig can be member Uncle Sam has prepared a and care for his stock.
 Some of the points to bear in mind are the following:
 "The feeding and care are as impor- tant as the breeding in producing good hog. Plenty of feed and care may make good hog out of a runt, but lack of it will always make a runt out of a good pig.
 ''tTo make pork cheaply permanent pasture and forage, crops must be used
 Young pigs must have dry bed and plenty of sunshine.
 Begin feeding the pig as soon as he will eat, and keep him growing until he is mature.
 Always keep plenty of clean fresh water where the hogs may drink at any time.
 "Quarantine all newly purchased animals for three weeks.
 Never keep a brood SOW that will not produce more than four strong pigs at a litter.
 Always keep a mixture of charcoal wood ashes, lime. sulphur, salt and copperas before tFs. hogs"

 Long time ago, when the spry little chipmunk darted across the camp ground in the yellow sunlight of a summer morning, the old men would call to the little Indian boys not to shoot their arrows at it.
 "Ho! he is our friend" an old man would say, and when the boys asked why the chipmunk was their friend, the old man would tell this story:
 It was in the days when. man began to spread out over the earth and make himself the ruler of all the birds and animals and insects. Whenever man wanted a bird or an animal to eat or a worm to catch fish, he just went and took it without asking.
 So the birds, the Insects and the small animals called a council to see what they could do to stop man from taking their lives. It was a carrier pigeon that took word to all that the council was to be held, and when she got back from her long, travels, the carrier pigeon settled down in a patch
  was so hungry that all she would say to those who asked her if all of mans enemies were coming was:
 You will have to get extra seats, and put the thousand-legged centipede at the door to count them as they go into the council house!"
 And sure. enough when the grub worm, who was chief of the council, took his seat at the east end of the council house and looked over all who had come, he rubbed his hands in good humor at the sight of so many of mans enemies.
 Now, it is time for you to speak and tell what you think about man, g said the grubworm. And first the frog got up and spoke.
 Look at me, brothers" he said (and he spoke in a low, sad voice), T am ugly and crippled, and all over my back you can see sores. I can no longer run fast, but have to hop-hop along; l am no longer beautiful, and

 Napoleon bowed, and so the matter was settled.
 The Countess Rositta 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- leon Edison was a scientist, inventor and a 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.
 Astra invited the countess to stay with her in the Crystal Palace. It 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 8 powerful automobile. As tra 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 a 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 talk ing the arm of man who opened the door, he said:
 "ExcelIency, allow me to present MT. Santos Duprel. my best and trusted comrade."

 '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. shimmering object, entirely filling the place. gleamed in the star light. Napoleon led the President up few steps, into a small space that was inclosed. but with something that was perfectly transparent, and asked her to sit down on a couch.
 will you kindly wait here for a few moments?" he asked, and he went fur ther forward. Astra's eyes became used to the dim light; she saw Napo- leon stop before some complicated mechanism and steering wheel. San tos came and closed the door through which they had entered the car Elec- tric sparks flew from something at the front
 Are you ready?" asked Santos
 Ready" was Napoleon's reply as he turned lever. The machine start ed upward and two huge wings that Astra had not noticed before, began to beat the air She had not experienced the slightest shock, yet she realized that they were going up with great velocity. The machine was practically noiseless the only sound being a whistling murmur caused by the heat. ing wings.
