CHAPTER II. Continued. One of them, noticeable fur his tall, aprlfbt fliure, clear eyea and brooted face, basteoed to the helloboard; he was followed by a short man, whose rotundity more than mad up for bta lack of height. The tail matt with the bronied face eagerly watched the anarkllne ni aa ha had been cut off from any form of communication a the Tub Line for fourteen hours. The sparks at that moment war prlnt- I tng soma uninteresting commercial , aewa, but soon U following nolle ap- I Th cremation of th r President, Hannibal I'rudent, wtll be held at 4:00 a. m.

How happy, bow contented he would have been had be received the news I wsnted to glv him personally before h left" H look th arm of hi friend. "Com. Santos, w hav som bard work In store." They took th elevator to th aero Btatlon of the depot, where they board ed the south bound aero bus. A fsw minutes later they landed at th tor race of the American Hotel. Th same morning Astra received several committees offering their sym pathise and condolence. When th laat on had gone she sank eihauated oa a couch. She had reeled but a moment when a servant brought In a card. Bhs sighed wearily and made a motion of dlasatlsfactlon when she read the namo "Ambroslo Hale." Th man was admitted. As b en tered he bowed deeply before the weary girl who stood there In her black gown, looking Ilk an angel of Borrow. The exquisite face bad taken oa a new beauty through ber affliction, which th newcomer quickly noticed. "I hav come, my poor. Buffering gtrl, aa a friend of your father. Dur ing these days of sorrow your wom an's heart needa th aid of a atrong man. Your father honored m with hi tottmat friendship, and I want to offer you my service." "Thank yon very much, Mr. Hals). Tour kindness touches me. It Is good to know that there are friends upon whom I can count during thess sad day. My beloved father, however, made such far-reaching arrangementa that I hardly think ther la any need of yonr assistance. But I thank you with all my heart" With thes words sh offered ber band to Hale, who retained It In hU grasp greedily. "I also want to tell yon something confidential, my dear Astra: Th Con tinental Club feels that tbta coming lection will bring the long expected event that la. the nomination of th flrst woman President And th y of tb Continental Club rests on youl Astra smiled serenely. "Should the country select m for Its executive. I shall be glad to ssrve, and I will do my best to carry out th plana formed by my father for th fur tberanc of the United Republic. Bha looked at the man whos ferret like eye could not leav her face, whoae thick Up were parted, showing a row of gleaming teeth. In spit of his handsome appearance Astra bad long ago discovered aome beeitlal trait In blm and had often wondered how ber father could extend his friendship to such a man. These thoughts flitted tbrough th brain of th girl, then an afterthought cam and sh askoo: "Mr. Halo, can you glv me any In formation in regard to a plac I can not flndT" "I will do my best WT r Astra, aid Hale, aa Astra hesitated. "Do you know a town, a district, village or any other plac by th namof Clrynlthr" Mr Hal thought for a momnnt, then admitted that be had nver heard of th plac. Astra felt some Batlsfaetlon. As Hal left tb crystal palace, b tsatt th Ull. broosed man who had arrived oa th fourtoon-bonr limited from Ban rrancleoo tbat morning, on U broad stairway that led P W th. mala .ntraac. H rd the sunburnt athlatle man enrtously; the auan. oot- wtrhatanain- his modish itylsof dress looked a stranger. In th hall, h bended his card to th waiting servant without a word Th servant looked at It and saw but on name: "Napoleon Edleon." As the stranger had no appointment. Astra told the servant to advise him that shs could not receive anyone un til Thursday venlng, after th cremv Uon of her father's earthly remalna. Edison shook bis head somewhat lm patiently. "If you say It la her wlah not to see ra unUl Thursday eveulng, I must wait notwltbatandlng th importance of my mission." H turned, left aa hurriedly aa be cam. His whole being seumsd sur charged with energy. Napoleon Edlaon met bis short frtond Santos on th roof garden be for th hourly stylograph. Tb round, ruddy cheeked man was watching the helloboard with Intereat He enjoyed th great city Immensely, and at that moment b was laughing heartily at th comlo section shown on tb board. Th nawspaper wae reproducing soma funny pictures made by a Chicago art tat In th early days of th twentieth century. "I have never seen such amualng brain product In my llf." h said. Edison smiled at the amusement of th man be called Santos. Taking his arm, he led him to the elevator. This ttm they went to the subway tube and. after making some Inquiries of tb guard, Edison bought two tickets for New York. It took two hours for them to make the Journey between Washington and New York. After they left th train, tb two elbowed their way through excited and mourning crowds. Santos could hardly keep pace with the long strides) of Edison. They turned Into Forty-see-ond street from the avenu and bur rted Into th Hippodrome, an Immense, but very old structure, a rello of the nineteenth century. Th continental party had gathered In this building and a somewhat atout woman was speaking when th two strangers entered. The audlonce list ened to th woman with Intense atten tion; ber pleasant, strong contralto vole filled th great hall and ah brought out Important points In her address with decisive strokes. Edison and Santos stopped and list ened. "To whom do we owe all thes bless ings? To whom must we glv thanks for th thousands of other things that add comfort to horn life, travel and national existence To whom but the man whose soul hss left th clay and entered th land of peace: Hannibal Prudent. ex-President of th United Republics of America. "I know that many of the section lata and Internationalists say we are Isolated from th countries that gav us our ancestors; I know that the seo tlonlsts think the Isolation was an out rag against our further development In art. literature and science. They think those things, but w continentaJ tsta know differently. "It Is true no Italian singers can be Imported to please th ear of the wealthy; It Is true that w cannot add ancient picture to our collections of masterpieces; It Is true that the yacht of our rich cannot make a tour of th Mediterranean; but compare our losses with our gain! "Sine th Isolation w hav creat ed our American art! Does not that alon pay for our Isolation T "Our singers sing th sirs of our country; our artists paint pure, be loved objects and scene known to ail of us. "Look at our magnificent, lofty ar chitecture, our terracea and roof gar dens at our reversible street covers, at tb swinging gardens, tub and aerial roads. Thes are our own Mm Astra Hsd Long Ago Discovered Some Bestial Trait In Him. these ars not Influenced by foreign education. W created them our solves." Rh atonoed for a moment, stretched nut hate aha nelv arm and continued: "Before th isolation of our conti nent, we were a mixture or all tb na tions of th world; today we are a na tion complete in ourselves. Ther are no English, Irish. Dutcn, Herman, Ital ians or Spaniards loft Thes nation alities hav merged and produced th citlsen of America." Her vole sank lower and vibrated .(It amntlon. "A new item has sparkled through Ike country, a bit of news vn more heart-breaking than tb new ot th departure ot th greatest man our country haa produced. I mean tha nwa that our stronghold 1 near its v.vViwn that Euro Dean Bdeutlata bar dlacoverod th waj to InraOc w Isolation. I pray that tb news f nay true, but should it be true, then w ill have to prepare for dxfense. "Compatriots, true citizens! Who can fill the executive chair mor satis factorily than the one who, throughout ber whole Ufa, has been prepared tor It? I call to you and auk you to glv your best Judgment for the cause and with on heart aud one thought nomi nate for the contlnentallst candldat th daughter of Prudent, Astra Prudent" Her she was interrupted by a heavy voice thundering: "No female rule for me." That was all he could say, as his vole flattened out behind a healthy slap delivered resoundingly on th dis turber a mouth. Tha band and arm that administered this rebuke belonged to Napoleon Edison. With a strong Jerk b turned the surprised man toward tha door and ha wa carried on and on as if be were a wreck be ing tossed by stormy waves. Whan ordor was restored, tb speaker con tinued: "With all my heart I trust Miss Pru dent will be the nomine of th con tlnentallats. Those who agree with me, kindly stand up!" As one body the audience rose and 00,000 voices thundered "Hurrah 1 tor the continental nominee!" Then the oratrlx sat down. Astra, In ber own room In th crys tal palace, saw and heard through th electro-stylograph the whole proceed ings of th New York continental party In the Hippodrome. She bad raised ber hand to disconnect ber ma chine when a man from th audlenc asked for the right to speak. According to the rules of the party, all who desired had the right to mak an address, so this request was readily granted. Since no one asked for this man's name, it was not disclosed. He walked calmly forward, closely fol lowed by a short, fat man who stopped only when his tall friend mounted the platform. This tall man was dressed in a gray traveling suit Instead of mourning, but on hla arm was a broad black band. All the attention of the great audl enc was centered on the athletic fig ure and th sunburnt, frank face of th young man. Astra's Instrument showed these details to her as plainly as if sh were sitting in on of th boxes, and she was thrilled as his eyes seemed to look straight into hers, "Ladles and Gentlemen," h began. "I have a message to deliver to tb political party In which I believe; do not aak me bow I happen to b th Instrument that was selected to con vey this message to you, but I beg ot you to seriously consider my words. "You have all heard or read about tb warning that came to our dear dead, th sx-Presldent, Hannibal Pru dent" There was silent emotion In hla voice when he mentioned that nam. "That warning Is only too tru. Our enemies, defeated fifty years' ago, hav found a way to break through our Iso lation ; they have spent thes fifty years planning revenge! W can. through Hannibal Prudent' efforts, put off their invasion for on year, which will glv us a little time to pro par for defense. Contlnentallsts, my brothers in conviction, spread strength and faith through the mighty land, as God has given us. Just as he did fifty year ago, a man to liberate this coun try from the oppressor's hand. God, in bis infinite goodness, haa given us another instrument to repel th storm ing enemies." His voice filled tha great hall; bis words were convincing through th sincerity of the orator. Aa he opened his mouth to speak again, th large helloboard began to show many colored xig-tag sparks and th audlenc watched it in apprehen sion; th whole atmosphere wa charged with an Inexplicable feeling of expectation. Not a person moved un til the man on the platform stepped quickly down to the operating tabl of th electro-stylograph and adjusted tha Instrument into the right receiving socket The sparking ceased and blurred, but discernible, a ptctur ap peared. A th audience stared the picture became somewhat clearer and they saw what appeared to b tremendous sea monsters lying Immovable on th booom ot tha ocean. Tb huge bulk of metal, showing unknown forma ot warfare, were pointed menacingly at th silent audience, which was repre sentative of the fifty year Just past; th comparison showed clearly that th science and genius of th Euro peans had only produced a perfection of death-dealing instruments, whil th Americans had advanced In sci ence, art, literature and a general de velopment ot the human race. Tb great audience, which had been so enthusiastic, now sat aa motionless a a bird that ba been charmed by a snake, intently watching th wonder ful picture that moved and changed incessantly; hug airships of an Im proved type, resembling the old Btyks Zeppelin, glittered brightly, aa they moved with ponderous grace. Every conceivable form of mono and bl-plan came gliding by; and aach and every form of locomotion carried unmistakable signs of their destiny a machine of destruction. Aa th picture vanished aigh Issued from every heart and a rustle ot relaxation stirred the multitude. Many turned toward th platform, hop ing to see th man who had laat spok en, but h was gone. By th time the people who had been favored by a sight of th enetnieB' destructive forcea, began to leavs tho hippodrome, that young man was oa hla way to th capital. 11 was bom other than Napoleon Edison.

Any how, our Southern friends are sure to indulge in some fire-eating language. "A resident of our village, who un dertook to raise chickens, received a crate of fowls from a South Carolina farm. When the neighbors learned where the chickens came from they raised a row. " 'If you must get chickens,' they said, 'get Northern chickens. They don't crow nearly so much as Southern chickens. There is something in the climate down there that make a chicken crow four times as often as a chicken brought up in any other part of the country.' "That peculiarity of Southern chick ens was news to the amateur poultry man. He noticed, however, that his chickens really did crow more persist ently and more vigorously than any other chickens he ever had known, and when an experienced poulterer assured him that they always would, because Southern chickens always do, he sold them and bought New Jersey chickens instead.
