was carefully opening the door of
the little cabin in which Moldo
was. Motionless, rigid in his div
er's garb, the fulgurator sat at the
back of his cage; the eyelets Of his
pointed helmet shone like staring
eyes and both hands rested upon
the transmission guide by which he
had guided the light of his appara-
tus. "He is alive" cried Hartwig

the helmet was taken off, his face
was congested, almost black. All
around seemed thrilled, and were
silent, then they began to talk and
shout; manifestly the confidence
of these people gorged with pleas
ure to the point of fatigue was
touched by these unforeseen occur
rences. Besides Moldo was not only
the only victim of the bombs drop
ped by the enemy balloons and
from all sides, evidence of the
harm done appeared; houses were
burning; ambulances were passing
hither and thither, driving the
crowd back with their sharp wits
J ties. Avery's lieutenants saw that
they had to do something to COM
bat the encouragement which was
increasing around them. They
were known, the people knew the
mysterious attaches of the Master
of Aeria and already there were
mutterings, bordering CLOSELY upon
personal invectives. Kositch, hav-
ing given the orders to take Mol
dos body away turned boldly to-
wards those who were around him.
"All that said he is already douh-
w avenged. BY this time our bal
looms have burned up FL Paso-"
A we'll known voice INTERRUPTED
him, that of Goldfeller, before
whom all were quiet. The appear
ance of his imperious face brought
silence. Without stopping to ar
que with the mob which he domi-
mated bv his sovereign will, the
King of Jewels called: "Kositch,
Hartwir-you too Bruce, come.
We shall take measures at once to
prevent any repetition of this bad
Joke" He had not a glance for
the body of Moldo stretched out
at his feet: that mute brute who
had served him like a dog foYyears
but was no more in his eyes than
the twisted iron debris around him.
With a rapid step, he led us to q
glass hall which was used as an
office. for the officer in charge OF
the dirigibles. This officer re-
ceived us obseouiously, stating
that the fleet had left some hours
before and that he expected their
return very soon. "They will not
come back" said Averv in a sol.
emn tone Of voice. :"The central
wireless has instructed the chiefs
of the squadron TO pursue the
enemy balloons and drive them
back over Aeria. The rest is fol
us to determine, and we shall &c
at it now, gentlemen" "Whai
are you going to do?" He looked
at ma coldly, and replied: poison
the air above the city, drive the
enemy dirigibles into that suffo'
eating atmosphere where their ri
lots will be asphyxiated, thus max
ing their balloons phantoms which
will disappear in space; the enemy
fleet will be purely and simply
suppressed" The implacable res
olution with which he said this. the
triumphant air with which his lieu
tenants received this hope of new
massacres. all went to increase my
feeling of horror and disgust which
had been growing for several days

towards them as if wishing these
engines Of death good luck. A
long blast of the siren pierced the
quiet night, and in leap the four
fulgurating lanterns took their
position, flying above US to point
out and light the, way for the diri-
lgibles. -Four luminous paths
shot out over the country, increas-
ing in intensity from second to
second, without their concentrated
rays betraying for moment the
mysterious flight which they were
guiding. "May the night protect
u.s." said Goldfeller, re-entering
the Government Palace ."now it is
only question of hours" Really
there was nothing now. to wait for.
As the night was now far advanc-
ed, notwithstanding my disquiet-
ude, took leave of the King of
Jewels to go to bed. / was asleep
hardly an hour when I was awak-
ened suddenly by formidable ex-
plosion. A great glare lighted up
my room and at the same instant
another explosion burst about me.
Then it was like the rolling fire
of distant noises, like an uninter-
rupted cannonade of which the
roar lasted for two mortal minutes
during which cries of distress and
suffering rose from the houses
around us and from our hotel. In
wink was up. went down into
the street, and at once OWNED
what had happened when / saw IN
the sky the shapes of three bal
looms. the last of which dropped
from its gondola a black mass
which caught fire at a short dis
lance and flattened itself IN the
center of square making an
other explosion. Paris was send
ing to Aeria the explosive bombs
which Avery had sent by familiar
means. Without waiting to walk
around the streets, or stopping for
the loafers who deemed Aeria ut
terly destroyed ran to the Gov
eminent Palace. As went around
the circular roadway to the diri-
gible landing place Kositch came TO
my side suddenly. He seemed eX-
cited and raised his hand to the
sky in rage. "Many victims? l
asked" Bah! that would amount
to nothing if it meant only the
death of a few individuals. The
worst of it is that one of their
bombs has smashed one of the full
gurating lanterns, breaking the
current of air which keeps alive
the man who guides it. This one
is Moldo and he is nearly dead
now. We are going to try to
bring back the apparatus, come
and see." By the aid of movable
cranes set up hastily, as directed
by Hartwig, hundred men were
trying to hoist the dead weight OF
the wounded apparatus over the
balustrade. Electric search lights
helped in the work which took two
hours. / watched the process at

shrugged his shoulders, She is

In a few minutes his general staff
was gathered in the machineoffice
and was present at this council
of demons who decided instantly
to send the flotilla of balloons to
Paris to cripple the city with a
shower of explosives. Mute with
CONSERVATION / followed them
across the city to the landing-place
where the little group of dirig-
ibles swayed in the wind with
their strange shapes. While Avery
aided by Hartwig and Kositch
helped equip the gondolas, old
Rassmuss explained to me in q
paternal tone, his long hair float
ing over his shoulders, his smooth
shaven face one smile, he seemed
a patriarch directing the prepare
tions for family feast. "The re-
sources of azotic acid" said he,
"are infinite. The chief difficulty
| is to control the explosion and flee
quickly enough. Note how well the
laerostat serves this purpose; sup
ported by the elasticity of the air,
it carries the bomb without danger
and discharges the explosive she'll
from far away. The sole precau-
ton necessary is in loading the. lit
tie reservoirs below the gondolas.
Each one contains twenty-four
shots, and all that is needed is to
touch a button inside the car, when
each compartment opens and al
lows its pulverizing burden to glide
noiselessly to earth, at the desired
spot"
I listened to him in silence COM
pretending from his quiet tone at
what point science was taking the
place more and more of that God,
who in ancient times was at the
same time the creator and de-
stroyer, rejoicing peculiarly in his
impartial activity. This old man
was an exception among his COM
panions, Kositch, Hartwig, all the
others semmed to be serving some
base rancor in their cooperation
with Goldfeller, the satisfaction of
that social hatred which kept them
powerless; all of these whose in
sane dreams were OWNED and OPP
posed by the justice of organized
society. Rassmuss was the demon
of the experiment he was making,
and with the desire of verifying
the exactitude of his calculation
he would have torn the earth as
under, quietly. With what pater-
nal eyes he followed the equipment
of these destroying balloons! As
he saw them leave he felt like a
mother who sees her child leaving
her side, and he made a gesture
