"Hare yoa any more?" Inquired the aoantaaa. "I am sorry, madam, but thla la the tact for tonight" answered Cheraller dl Leon, with eyee turned steadily toward tb southeast. They all sat down, and Captain Euler and the eonnteea started a conversation In wblch the cheraller refused to take txt! ba was watching tba sky and lha star. It waa much later than Banal when ba returned to hla gilt eaga, bat be waa satisfied at last; be had seen a star mat winaaa ai aim familiarly. Tba next day tha conntaea asked If they were to bare fireworks again, but the cheraller thought It would lo It eharm If th.y bad the display too often. H retired to hi room that evening, complaining of a slight bead- ache. "Bhall I call the post doctor P aakad Captain Euler, but tba chevalier do- aUnwd. When ta hi leeptng-room ba looked rer tba content of hi small baggage and lacted a number of articles that ha sacked Into en bundle. Than be bft tha room. Tba raiding room waa tha one that waa eonneoted with the outer world by th stairway that ran to tha root. Tha aharaller tpped quickly to the loor leading to th corridor and 11 tr ened; he could bear th sentry walk ing ap and down. Ha saw with satis faction that tb door could ba locked en tb Inald with kay and bolt; than ha examined tha door that led to the mof. It waa a heavy door, that could h Wkad only from th Inside. He aUemtly crept np tha stair and prd Into tb incloaure; und.r on of th slant. U th abada, waa th eountaaa reading There wer a number of kaan ohleota with which tha door toold ba barricaded.

Neither apoke for soma Um: at last tb cheraller turned to the eountaaa: It ta Juat poaalbla that I am making th graateet mlataka of my life, bat what 1 th difference you bar bean frank with ma, and I will be frank with you." Bhe lifted her face quickly. Tha chevalier thought for a aaeond. "Would yoa Ilk to get rid of all that belong to th paatf Would yoa coma with mar Bhe looked at blm with auh an uttorabl longing that b fait lrrealat tbly drawn toward bar; ba actually started toward the faaolnatlng woman with arm extended. Then hla anr nature reminded him of all that would reault from letting their frteoaahlp merge into a lore affair, and ha a topped. A war of rag swept ever bar whan ah saw hi hesitation and deci sion, bat she whispered softly: -I hall go with you." Now w are becoming real conspir ator! ; be prepared o that at a mo ment' notice you can leave." "Wher will you taka mr "Wherev.r my a lara lead!" waa hla enigmatical answer, aa ha left tha roof and went to hi room to ln. Night cam again, tha captain left them alone at 9:10, saying that ha had some writing to do. Chevalier dl Leon watched tha sky, which waa somewhat cloudy; there waa a strong wind that drove tha rag ged wanderer to and fro. Th winking star ba had observed several time before waa stationed la tha eastern sky. Neither of the prisoner talked; both sm ad to be fully ooeapled with their thoughts. Suddenly dl Leon turned to the dreaming eountaaa: "Are you willing to leave with me tonight In half an hour!" "Bat how absurd that ta, chevalier! Do you trust me lmpUc Italy T" "I dot- Then go to your room and get all the thing that you need to taka along ready. Will half an hour be enough T" "I will be ready." He led the count down to her room, and from that moment the chev alier became energy Itself, first of afl, be locked the door of the reading' room, then ran Into hi own room, picked ap hi bundle of belonging and hastily placed It on the root. He arranged several heavy o beets around th trapdoor leading to the reading- room and than sent a rooket from hla signal gun toward the winking star. Th light that followed waa taken aa a warning by the superstitious sol diers on duty below; the red and whit stripe of the American flag high up In the air, and tha silvery star on th blue background completed tha flag that waa causing so much annoyance to Europe. The red a tar above twinkled soring ly and a second later th roof of the prison waa flooded with a strong light The cheraller ran down and knocked at tha count' door. "Ar yoa ready T" 1 am," ha replied and appeared with a email suitcase In her hand. Just aa they opened th door lead ing to th roof, a secret door In the wall, that had escaped th chevalier's scrutiny, opened and Captain Euler stepped Into the room. "To th roof, count,- tha cheva lier whispered In the ear of tha woman and ba stepped before th captain. Back of tha captain, through tha halt- open door, he could see several sol di are. "Tour recant firework hare aroaaed soma suspicion, chevalier." 1 am sorry, captain, but I cannot top to explain thing to you Juat now; I am In a hurry." "in a hurry?" "T. my dear captain. I hare yuat time enough to thank you for your kind boapltallty, and to bid yoa fare well I" Tha captain stopped forward, but before he could touch the cheraller there waa a flash that blinded all. By tha time th captain had recorered enough to ahout: "To th d.vU with your okel" the cheraller wa gone. Captain Euler ran to tba roof door. only to find It barricaded; It took some Um for them to fore tb door, and when they reached the roof and played their searchlight over the whole space, not a soul waa to be found. hour later Aatra received her message from Napoleon Edison. The following morning early rlsera In Berlin were treated to a novel sight High abore the city, a white-headed. tremendously large eagle appeared; It olrcled abore the town for a while, then turned suddenly toward the west and disappeared with a rapidity that waa astounding. Tha learned Profeasor Klpfelhelmer, a noted aoologlst who waa one of the first to see It waa certain that tha bird waa a genuine American eagle. CHAPTER IX. In the Master Workshop. Th following day was a long one for Aatra; hope, Joy and the expecta tion of aaetnc tha man who waa able to do no much made her reetlee. Shortly before noon a report came from tha Z ray generating atation ad vising that a peculiar vibration seamed to b forcing th ray backward.

"I have longed to come, Mia Pru dent but I waa detained In a prlaoa, where I had everything but liberty." Please be aeated; you muit be weary after your long trip." Bhe led blm to a chair and took a seat oppo site. "Thar haa not been a day, slnoe your visit here, that I hav not longed for some new from you. And you, all th time, were in prison." Edison said: "I eroaaed the laolator la my aerodromone, ascending thoe sands of feet to get over. My assist ant engineer, Santos Duprel, was with me; we landed on the deserted Zug spltse. In Germany. I alone descend ed on sklla to Partenklrcben, where I purchased European clothea. Duprel and I were In constant communication with each other until my imprison ment which came ao quickly that I had ao chance to advise him.

Where la your plantf" He looked at her in surprise, but all be could see In her . face waa frank expectation, and In a measured voice he said: "On the Island of Clryne." "Cirynithl" whispered Astra. -At last you bave spoken the word I" said Napoleon eagerly. "The word I bave been expecting to hear you say." Astra looked at Napoleon question lngly; evidently there was something back of thle that she was supposed to know. Napoleon read her thought: ' "Mill Prudent. I will enlighten you. When I discovered th element of which your ring Is made I cam to your father. He wa a friend and teacher. When your father realized th value of my discovery and saw the tar-reaching possibilities of this wonderful metal he gave me full In structions, and I based my further experiment on them. "HI prophetic soul foresaw th events that ar now upon ua, and he waa anxious to know th results of my experiments. Three day before bis death I received a letter from him. I had Just returned from tha trial trip of my aerodromone. I wa intoxicated with my success. Tb American Eagle, my first aerodromone, waa a marvel, but I will come to that later. 1 honied to the capital aa soon aa I read your father letter, but waa too late I How happy be would hav been to know that I had won, that no nation can destroy the work of his lifetime," Napoleon' vole softened to a whis per. "But his last letter told m that you would be Instructed to go to the Island of Clryne and that when I met you, you would greet me with th word you have Just spoken, 'Clrynlth,' the name I have given to this cle ment" Astra' eye filled with tear. Th memory of the last hour of her father returned to her In Its smallest detail, and then she told Napoleon how ths dying man had tried to tell har every thing, but that the shock caused by the message from Count von Werden steln bad killed him before he could do so, though with his last strength he had written, in shaking letter, th word: "Clrynlth." I cannot tell what be said about you, nnlsbed Astra, smiling at napo leon through her tear. "All I can say is that I am very happy today, tor yoa hav come." Her expressive eye told even more, and Napoleon Edison felt that he was amply rewarded for the services ha had rendered, not for the girl h loved, but for th country they both loved. "I hav on favor to ask, your excel lency 1" Whatever It is, I will grant It in ad vance. "The Counteaa Roslny, whom I hav mentioned, and who played a part In th plot 1 homeless In our continent She 1 In th waiting-room.
