CHAPTER TX.
In the Masters Workshop.


The following day was a long one
for Astra; hope. Joy and the expecta-
ton Of seeing the man who was able
to do so much, made her restless.
Shortly before noon a report came
from the z ray generating station ad-
vising that peculiar vibration seemed
to be forcing the rays backward. Or
ders were given to establish the new
z zone. also to watch for further dis
turbances and, after a lapse Of six
hours. to remove the first line Of re-
sistance. leaving the new ray to
meet the invaders.
Astra was happy indeed when she
descended to the library to await Ma
poleon's arrival. AS the hands of the
chronometer pointed to ten, she list
ened intently. The main door was
opened just as the clock gave forth
its tinkling warning. A moment later
Napoleon Edison was admitted 10 the
library and Astra hurried toward him
with welcoming hands.
She saw at glance that his healthy
bronze complexion was gone and that
he was thinner. She also noted the
unfamiliar clothes he was wearing.
II am 80 glad that you have come
at last!" were her first words.
Il have longed to come. Miss Pru-
dent, but was detained in a prison.

him to a chair and took seat oppo-
site. There has not been a day, since
your visit here, that have not longed
for some news from you. And you,
all the time. were In prison"
Edison said: Il crossed the isolator

II will, with your permission, tell
them in more detailed manner at

can"
II am ready to 60 at any time; only
you know I cannot leave the capital
for long period. Besides, I must

He looked at her in surprise. but all
he could see in her face was frank
expectation, and in a measured voice
he said:

A wave OF rage swept over her
when she saw his hesitation and deci-
sion, but she whispered softly: II

Now we are becoming real conspir-
ators; be prepared 30 that ct mo-

Where will you take me?"
Wherever my stars lead!" was his
and went to his room to sleep.
Night came again. the captain left
them alone at $3.50, saying that no
had some writing to do.
Chevalier di Leon watched the sky,
which was somewhat cloudy; there
was a strong wind that drove the rag.
ged wanderers to and fro.
The winking star he had observed
several times before was stationed in
the eastern sky.
Neither of the prisoners talked;
both seemed to be fully occupied with
their thoughts. Suddenly di Leon
turned to the dreaming countess: Are
you willing to leave with me tonight
in half an hour?"
But how absurd that is, chevaher!"
LIZ you Ilubl Iuo
II dol"
Then 60 to your room and get all
the things that you need to take along
ready. Will half an hour be enough? ?"
Il will be ready"
He led the countess down to her
room, and from that moment the chew
alier became energy ITSELF First OF
all, he locked the door of the reading
room. then ran into his own room,
picked up his bundle of belongings
and hastily placed 1t on the roof. He
arranged several heavy objects around
the trapdoor leading to the reading
room and then sent rocket from his
signal gun toward the winking star.
The light that followed was taken
as warning by tho superstitious SOL
diers on duty below; the red and white
stripes of the American flag high up
in the air. and the silvery stars Oh the
blue background completed the nag
that was causing SO much Z noyance
to Europe.
The red star above twinkled reas-
suringly and a second later the roof
of the prison was flooded with strong
light. The chevalier ran down and
knocked at the countess door. Are
you ready?"
II am" she replied and appeared
with small suitcase in her hand.
Just as they opened the door lead
ing to the roof secret door In the
wall, that had escaped the chevalier's
scrutiny, opened and Captain Euler
stepped into the room.
ITO the roof, countess" the cheva-
lier whispered in the ear Of the woman
and he stepped before the captain.
Back of the captain, through the half
open door. he. could see several SOL
diers.
"Your recent fireworks have aroused
| some suspicion, chevalier."
II am sorry, captain. but cannot
stop to explain things to you just now;
am in hurry"
"In hurry?"
Eyes, my dear captain. 1 have just
time enough to thank you for your
kind hospitality. and to bid you fare
