Both the Count Rosiny and the countess were members of the German secret service. They needed means to keep up their title and did not hesi- tate to become spies. Besides, she said it was her greatest pleasure to participate in intrigue and the excite ment of this profession
 "A few years later, complete moral wreck, I broke away from her, and went to Russia. There I became a tool of that infamous, grewsome soci- ety that works in the dark against all that is good. It was my fate to be se- lected to do the ugliest crime of my life. I thank God I was prevented from succeeding.

 This is my story, your ladyshfp and since I have breathed American air, even though it came through pris- Dn windows, begin to understand the greatness of the ideals you are serv- Ing, and beg you not to condemn me In your thoughts. The knowledge that your noble mind pardons the unhappy tool of wrong idea, will ease my last hour.
 "AETZEL VON ROTHENBERG."
 There the long letter ended, but an- other sheet was waiting to be read:

 The power, of course, Is electricity. I will try to explain things as simply as they are. The flight of the aero dromone is based on the flight of a bird-not any bird, but the king of the air, the eagle. Size of body, wings, and balance are all considered.
