A few minute, later the aerodroroon ettled down In a yery large hangar, but as th place was dark Astra eould not ae th machine and It outer ap pearance. Napoleon helped her out and, showing her his watch, convinced her that they had made the trip In three hours: It was eleven o'clock. Aa rapidly aa th earth revolves.1 remarked Asitra. Napoleon led Astra Into a large. squar building In the center of th group. A peculiar odor greeted her noetrlls as she entered. It was not disagreeable, but reminded her of some oppressive tropical flower. She followed Napoleon Into th private lab oratory. Hours passed while Napoleon told the President everything, and the dawn was breaking as he led her out Into th air. He led her to the hangar again and. turning all th electric, lights on, he showed her all the aero- dromones. "Six In all. and with these I can fight against the world and win." Before Astra could reply, he said: "And now, your excellency. I would Ilk to Introduce you to th auasvn of this little colony." Astra felt faint, but followed Napo leon aa If In a dream. They went to the nearest eottac. In the doorway stood a beautiful ma tron waiting to receive them. "Mother," said Napoleon, "let m In troduce you to her excellency, th President of the United Republic." Astra stepped forward and before re. Edison could utter a word she embraced and kissed her, then, bow ing her head on th matron's bosom. he wept tears of Joy. Neither spoke. They seemed to un derstand eich other. CHAPTER X. CHAPTER IX. Continued. Napoleon bowed, and so the matter was settled. The Countess Rosltta Roslny led into the room. Astra embraced the countess kindly. "welcome to our continent, my dear conn tea." Countess Roslny sobbed. Her heart seemed touched by the kind reception given her by the representative of th greatest republic! But though Napo leon Edison was a scientist. Inventor and a discoverer, be could not ae Into th heart of th weak, beautiful wom an. Had be known what was going on wittiiQ it, he would have acted dif ferently. Astra invited the countess to stay with her In the Crystal Palace. It was almost midnight when Napoleon left, assuring Astra that ho would call lor her at eleven the next evening At toe time appointed ha was at the door with a powerfnl automobile. As tra refused to sit In the tonneau of the machine, so Napoleon assisted her to th seat beeide him at th wheel and be let her hand rest lightly on his arm. The big machine ran evenly out of town, into the suburbs, and turned Into a big garden that was a natural forest The large mansion was desert ed, but a garage showed signs of life. a proaa stream of light spread out Into the quiet summer night from one window. The sound of Napoleon's horn must have been familiar to the occupant of the building, as the large door was pushed open In Urn to let the large car enter. foapoieon stopped tne car and as sisted the President down. Then tak ing the arm of a man who opened th door, be said: "Excellency, allow me to present Mr. Santos Duprel, my best and trusted comrade." The short man bowed with once. Is everything ready?" asked Napo leon. The little man nodded. Napoleon opened a door and led hi guest through It; Santos locked th door of the garage and followed them. The room they entered opened sky ward. A shimmering object, entirely suing tne place, gleamed In th star light Napoleon led the President op a few steps. Into a small space that was Inclosed, but with something that was perfectly transparent, and asked her to sit down on a couch "Will you kindly wait here for a few momenta?" he aeked, and he went fur ther forward. Astra's eye becam used to th dim light; sb saw Napo- Between Z Ray. Th general of the confederated Eu ropean army and navy had arrived on th scene of action. Th first Una of resistance was down, and be believed tha American continent ready for oc cupancy. In his official aeroplane he had hurried to take command. Shortly after his arrival th scout ing cruiser, Beelzebub, ran Into the second line of Z rays and so reported by wireless to th admiral's ship. Th man of war shook his fist toward the west: "You will not escape me, nev ertheless!" He was angry and gavs hurried orders to lay the necessary cables and move tha engineering boats forward. He had hardly finished his orders when another message came that was trifling, yet It annoyed him. Th cruis ing aeroplanes sent word that a tr mendou American eagla was ap proaching from the west. Many re membered that th cagl had been seen above Berlin; many of th sea men predicted disaster. Others laughed and did not take th news seriously. Th Count von Werdensteln stood on th bridge of th flagship Empress Brtgltta. His powerful glaaa eagerly sought th western horizon, searching th sky for that eagle. The strange air craft crept nearer headed directly for the flagship. Th Welcome to Our Continent, My Dear Countess." leon stop before soma complicated mechanism and a steering wheel. San tos came and closed the door through which they bad entered th car. Elec- trio sparks flew from something at th front. "Are you ready? asked 8antoa. "Heady!" wa Napoleon's reply as be turned a lever. The machine start. d npward and two huge wings that Astra had not noticed before, began to beat the air. Bbe had not experienced th slightest shock, yet she realized that they were going up with great Telocity. The machine was practically noiseless, th only sound being a whistling murmur caused by th beat ing wings. Th coolness was perceptible and Astra wrapped her cloak more closely about bsr. Napoleon gave a twist to count saw that the under portion of the body was transparent, and that single man was In It. When the air craft arrived about two hundred feet above the flagship th red, whit and olue flag with th star was unfurled, and th craft stopped Its flight, resting easily on th air, la illy moving Its wing. Was It the wonderful performance) which had thrilled the seamen, or was It an intended cheer? Nobody knows. out all those wno could se th eagle heated a huzza. Only on man bit his Hps nervously, th Count roa Wer densteln. Th American flag sainted th cheer ing man, then a whit flag of true ap peared beside It. "I bring tha greetings of th people of th American continent, and want to oanmunlcat with th commander In chief," eame a clear, strong vole to the ears of th men on th flagship. Ta fenerallaelmus waved his band toward the eagle. "If you will ascend th observation tower w can eon vara comfortably," added th volo to Til great chancellor went braard the elevator that carried him up to the tower, and the eagle descended un til It was on a level with the top of th tower. Opening a side window, th bird man leaned out and ealulvd the count "Her w meet, tac to face, your excellency I" "Th Chevalier dl Leont" "Th chevalier Is no more, your honor; I am Napoleon Edison." "Mr. Edison, you are worthy of your name, both of them." "Thank you. sir!" humbly. "I presume you hav com to renew your offer." 'Th Urn of offering Is gone, your excellency." Napoleon's vole was cold and cutting. Th count was sur prised. I hav com to your excellency to deliver th message from th Uulted American Republics." Yes? I am listening." Th navy of the European confed eracy entered American water with apparent warlike Intention and de stroyed the first Isolation line. The United Republics took not of this un lawful action and hence give you warning that unless the navy sudor your personal command Is removed from the waters Immediately, the United Republics of America will cut you off from your resources and make prisoners of all th vessels that linger In the son where they are at present Twelve hours are given for re treat!" The Count von Werdensteln lost his temper on hearing these words and took them for a personal Insult Can I see the papers that make you the bearer of such an Impudent mes sage?" Napoleon moved the wheel a trifle and th bird slid toward the count who took th sealed package from bis hand. II broke It open and read: The bearer. Mr. Napoleon Edison. Is the all-powerful representative of the President of the U. R. of A. (Signed) ASTRA PRUDENT. (Seal) President Th count smiled and said while fold ing the paper: "Tell to those who sent you that I, Count von Werdensteln. commander In ehtef of the navies and armies of the European confederacy, will break down all th resistance that may be before me, and will land and occupy th countries that you call the United Republics of America. Th warning that you glv m will not be considered, neither will your actions be feared. I am headed for th Amer ican continent and I will land." "This Is your final answer, your ex cellency ?" "It is." "Please listen to me for a moment not as a courier and representative, but aa man to man. "Not so very long ago I was your prisoner, and when I told you that I would escape, you only laughed. I escaped, and am standing her before you as proof that I can do what I say. Count von Werdensteln. how will you answer for the mass murder that you will be responsible for? We have j tried to avoid conflict" "You speak as If a mighty army and navy were at your elbow 1 What can you. a single man, do against the fore back of me?" "Then you will not believe me, will not heed the warning I give you? Count look Into your own heart! I, a single man, have the power to send you, with all your force, to the bot tom of the sea. I, alone, plead with you to return to your own land and let your armies and navies dlsbsnd, for If yoa don't many will never see their lovd one again." Th count was Impressed by Napoleon' aad voice, but ther were many things to be considered, snd, above all else, his own pride. A thousand deaths would be easier to account for than the fact that he. Count von Werdensteln, at the command of a single man In an odd airship, turned homeward and abandoned the Invasion of America. When he spoke, there waa bitterness In hi voice: "Mr. Edison, something tells me that you can do as you say. I know that, yet I will forget It until I arrive on American shores; I will not hesi tate for a second, I will go forward to win or die. If ther Is only one chance In a million. I will try it No shame shall besmirch the nam of Werdensteln." I am sorry. Count von Werdensteln. but we must defend our country and liberty. I will now remove th flag of truce and return to America and from this second on yoa can consider m an enemy. Ha closed the window, touched a lever and with on mighty beat of the flexible wings the machine ascended at least a hundred feet Th count looked after Napoleon. His face was pal as he hurriedly de scended to th bridge. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

That this policy is not the best, because it does not em-ourag production along the best economic lines, is forcibly shown by Professor A. G. Kouquet of the horticultural tie oartment. O. A. C. who is often called u Kin to act as judge of vegeta ble exhibits at district, county snd state fuirs. ' There are now being held in many parts of the Northwest numerous ex hibits of vegetables." says Professor Kouquet. "iSardcners. young and old. are eagerly entering for premium the specimens which they have carefuly tended during the past season. It is an old adage that 'the proof of the pudding is in the eating. Without further sdo, 1 think it is advisable to point out, not in a critical manner but in the hope that the suggestions will be of value to all, some of the weak nesses of the vegetable shows first of all, in too many cases those in charge of our vegetable ex hibits do not state clearly for the ben etit of the exhibitors the requirements in specified classes. Certain rules and regulations must be made and clearly stated in order that all may have an equal chance to win the premiums offered. I have found in ninny cases in judging at fairs throughout the state that this has not been done and consequently the various individual exhibits have been inconsistent in sixe and quality. This can be readily over come and is not a very difficult prob lem to deal with. "In many district theie seems to be an altogether erroneous idea of the value of vegetable displays and the kinds of products to be shown. At many fairs where I have been called to judge exhibits, the monstros ity idea of specimens is too often prev alent. Why are such large premiums offered for the largest potato, the lar gest carrot, the biggest and best (?) turnip, or the biggest cabbage? Such things are absolutely to be discour aged. They detract from the whole idea of vetretahln eihihirinna n.h;.-h I ! believe should be staged to derive the following benefits: Publicity for the grower, larger consumption of prod ucts, education of the general public. incentive to the grower to grow better products, the competition, which is al ways stimulating. Our vegetable ex niouions snouid oe nothing more nor less than a display of commercial products of the finest quality, attrac tively shown in strict accordance with the rules and regulations. At a certain show which I attend ed last year this monstrosity idea was so strong and general as to make the exhibition more or less of a farce, While there was $T.00 offered for the biggest CHbbage, there was but $2 .60 offered for the best display of cab bnge.
