That evening Napoleon took ROSETTA
to Ciryne to his mother.
She won the mothers sympathy at
once. Her pleasant companionship
was a relief to the stately matron, as
save the servants there were no other
women on the island. 1t was she who
watched over the precious plant dur
ing the long and repeated absences
of Napoleon.
Notwithstanding the difference in
their ages, they became good friends.
Rositta was anxious to see the manu-
featuring plant, where the aerodro-
mones were made, but she was not
permitted to enter the workshop. as
she had failed to obtain Napoleon's
permission to do so. He had promised
to return for her within few days.
or to send Santos. One balmy morn
ing the two women were enjoying the
sea breeze on the porch. when they
saw the aerodromone approaching
from the east. The great bird settled
in it's hangar gracefully. The two
women went down the path to meet,
as they supposed, Napoleon. But it
was Santos Duprel bringing two let
tiers, one from Napoleon to his mother
and the other from Astra to the
countess.
gsSantos' honest eyes glowed when he
saw ROSETTA, who took pains to give
him a friendly glance as she shook
hands
Her letter said that Santos and the
Hawk were at her disposal, and that
Astra would be glad to see her again
as soon as Mrs. Edison's condition
permitted her to leave. She also in
vited Mrs. Edison to come to the cap
ital, but the mother knew that her
son depended on her presence on the
island so declined.
ROSETTA expressed deep disappoint-
ment when Mrs. Edison gave her rea-
sons for not going back with Santos
and the Hawk, but the chance to talk
to Santos on the return trip suited
her best. After some hesitation she
decided to make flying trip to Wash
ington the next day, assuring Mrs. Ed
ison that she would stay only day.
Santos received instructions to be
ready to leave early in the morning
The little, round fellow was elated
when he thought of the three hours
alone with ROSETTA.
His nights, since he had met Astra
and ROSETTA, were restless. ROSETTA s
many kindnesses especially gave him
food for thought. He paid more at
tention to matters of dress; he shaved
his round, rudy face every day. He
even used perfume.
1t dazzled him to think of the triI
to the capital with the countess fol
company.
Early in the dewy morning Santos
brought the Hawk to the cottage anc
waited for Rositta.
A little later the wonderful machine
leaped into the air and up and for
ward with mighty flaps of the glitter
ing wings.
Countess Rosiny rose and wen

Bismarck, N. D., May 26.-Gover-
nor Frazier has issued a call for a
special election to be held in the First
congressional district Tuesday, July
10, to fill the va.ancy caused by the
death Of Congressman Helgesen.
Attorney General LANCER reviews
the primary legislation Of the state
from 1899 down to 1915. and says
nomination by petition is clearly
shown by careful reading Of the first
law and the amendments of 1907. 1911
and 1913 to be the only proper and
legal medium.
All these amendments operate to
wholly repeal the old convention sys-
tenn" says the opinion, "an no au-
thorized committee now exists to call
or make provision for caucuses and
conventions. 1t would be as inconsist-
ent for the present state central COM
mittee, or any division thereof, to at
tempt to exer the functions of the
old caucus system as it would be to
call a general primary for this special
election"
That in the absence Of other ma
chinery for the nomination Of candi-
dates the revised code of 1899 will rule
in h special election in the First
congressional district are the conclu-
sions drawn.
The candidates lay run OF petitions

ficient number of voters may have
their names printed on the official
ballots. with the party designation fol-
lowing. Candidates may state in the
petitions the principles upon which
their candidacy is based and the par
ty they represent.
The Governors Proclamation.
Governor Frazier's long-looked-for
proclamation calling the special cleo
ton to name a successor to Henry T.
Helgesen is as follows:
I'm accordance with the provisions
of law. I, Lynn j. Frazier, governor OF
the state Of North Dakota. do hereby
give notice that on Tuesday, 10th Of
July, 1917, a special election will be
held in each precinct of the counties
comprising the First Congressional
district for an election Of a successor
to the late Hon. H. T. Helgesen, rep
resentative in congress from said First
district, to fill out the unexpired term.
The nominations of candidates to be
voted for in said election shall be
made under provisions of Section SOL
of the Political Code of 1899, where
provision is made for nomination by
petition. Let the public and all cleo
ton officers take due notice and act
accOrdinply."
