The countess sighed, q sob broke
from her heaving bosom and she let
her shoulder lean heavily against him;
she buried her face in his shoulder
and the tears trickled down her soft
cheeks as she sighed.
II am SO very. very unhappy"
The chevalier bent his head over
her and his eyes became dark for
second; then he folded her in his
arms and their lips met in kiss
The spell was short; the next mo-

The Countess Rosiny picked up the

placed them in her hanSbag.
The punctilious chancellor escorted
her to his office door and bade her

When the door closed behind the de-

CHAPTER Viii.
The Fireworks.


Every evening-after that, except
when 1t stormed, the prisoners went
up on the roof These evenings were
the pleasantest part of the days.
During the day the chevalier read
the daily papers and magazines with
great interest. He found plenty of
engrossing news there. especially the
preparations Of the confederated navy
and army. One article, very we'll
written by one of the chief engineers.
particularly attracted his attention
That article described the q ray and
its destroyer. The supply station Of
destruction was Madeira, from which
place heavy cables were laid to reach
the 30th longitudinal meridian. along
which the 2 ray ran. The heaviest
current of electricity was conducted
by this tremendous cable to three epe-
cially built boats. The Sampsonian
vibrating rays we're generated on these
boats. Each ray made 100000 vibra-
tions a second and-all were directed
in harmonious line toward the z ray
belt. In time the wall of isolation
would fall down under the immense
force playing against it. and the in
vasion of America would follow.
After long study the chevalier
placed the magazine on the table and
muttered: "The time for action is
nearing"
One evening at the dinner table the
chevalier asked Captain Euler II he
could have some material for pyro-
technical displays in order to lessen
the monotony of their existence.
The kind captain furnished every
thing he asked for. The countess of.
fered her services and they worked al.
most all afternoon the next day get
ting the fireworks ready. Di Leon
seemed to be an expert; he soon had
a large Japanese wheel, several turn
ing stars and also a number of long
sky rockets ready.
When evening came they excitedly
prepared for the grand fireworks. The
sky was clear and the moon had not
yet risen. Chevalier di Leon arranged
the different pieces, and when the. cap
tain came up he fired the first air run
ner The long rocket went high up
in the air, whirring and whistling, and
then, with a puff, broke into thousands
of red sparks. Another puff brought
white and the third brought blue.
The next was the Japanese sun;
this was fastened to the center OF the
roof. 1t circled and sparkled for q
long time.
The chevalier was deeply interested
in his projectiles and, as the countess
assisted him. Captain Euler had to
play the part of audience. There was
a larger audience outside their inclos-
ure, but that was another world.
When all the set pieces were used
the chevalier looked up in the sky.

The chevalier suggested a walk In
the open air, but the captain shook
his head. 81 am sorry to disappoint
you, my dear chevalier, but your ter
ritory ends here" He said this with
such kindness that 1t was plain to the
chevalier that he was sorry for the
Imprisonment.
For two long months the Captain
Hans Euler kept faithful company to
the chevalier.
There no chance to escape from
this prison; not even chance to look
out at the ocean. The Chevalier di
Leon soon realized that he could not
escape and knew that all he could do
was to wait
The personal belongings that he
had left in the room at the Hotel
Metropole were brought to him, and
great was his satisfaction when he
saw that nothing had been forgotten.
Papers from Berlin and England
were in the reading-room and he was

young man dared to play with him,
the iron handed master.
Your Jokes are out of place; you
are clever man, but I will have to
ask my question again. Will you
answer it?"
'T refuse!"
Their eyes clashed like the cold
steel Of two swords.
