CHAPTER XII.
Ciatlng the Net
Biz month had paaiad. Tha eap
tarad army and navy bad been aent
koine to Europe and disarmed. Tha
wiou monarch had raged at the
Count von Werdmnteln for acceding
ta tba term of the agreement ubmlt.
ted by the t'nlted Republic, but the
faepte were happy.
The United Republlee of America
offered a large tract of land In the In
terior of Uraill, Venetuela and Co
lombia for emigration purpoea. Drain
age and Irrigation bad been o per
feeted that thoe great plateaua were
habitable and supplied the richest ag
rtoaltura! dlatrlct In the world.
A meeting had been called to for
mnlata the rule of peace. Napoleon,
with full sanction and authorization of
Congress, made hort work of the
agreement with the oriental. He ap
peared above the Island Empire and
aaoounced the ultimatum: that he
would blow up every man-of-war un
teea they were turned over to the Unit
ed Republic of America peacefully,
ta which case the latter would pay one
third the value of the monster. The
oriental had been prepared for thl
aetlon and agreed to the terma. China,
the young Oriental Republic, followed
Japan'a example.
ChrUtma wa nearlng. The war
rweael of the world were harbored
ka the porta of the Americana and
tamed over to the Navy Department,
with the command that they be ued
tor eommerclal purpose.
The disarmament went on all over
the world. When Chrtatmaa day
dawned, peace reigned. Not ChrUtlan
inn, but a peace begotten of fear.
The IUh of December found the
American Continent open to everyone.
Napoleon Edison, on account of the
earvlce he had rendered hla country,
bad been appointed president of the
vortd peace committee.
Hie mother' lllnes had caused him
anxiety. He poke of It to Aatra one
day while the Countes Rolny waa
near. The beautiful Rosltta had un
dergone a great change. She wa be
lieved to be a thorough American In
eytrlt, and bad thu gained the con
fidence of the people eurroundlng
A Bhe begged Aitra and Napoleon to
. t... ,n and comfort Mr. Edlaon.
Tbey consented, glad to haa bar go
to the Island or uiryne. wtwu u.uuu

Bagle and aend you back In a few ' daye

your time between Aatra and my
asother." , .
8ns oould hardly repreee he trlum-
That evening Napoteoa took BoaltU
to Clryoe, to bla mother.
Bhe won the mother' sympathy at
one. Her pleasant oompaatonahlp
waa a relief to the stately matron, aa
save the aervaota there were no other
women on the laland. It waa aha who
watched over tha precloua plant dur
ing the long and repeated absence
of Napoleon.
Notwithstanding the difference tn
tbelr agea, they became good fttenda
Rosltta waa anxious to see the manu
facturing plant, where the aerodro
monea were made, but aba waa not
permitted to enter the workahop, aa
she bad failed to obtain Napoleon'e
porailsslon to do so. He bad promlaed
to return for her within a few daya.
or to aend Kantoa. Ona balmy morn
ing the two women were enjoying the
tea breexe on tba porch, when they
aaw the aerodromone approaching
from the eaat The great bird aettled
In Ita hangar gracefully. The two
women went down the path to meet,
aa they auppoeied. Napoleon. But It
waa Santoa Duprel, bringing two let
tor, one from Napoleon to hla mother
and the other from Aatra to the
countea.
Santos' honest eye glowed when he
saw RoRltta, who took pains to give
him a friendly glance aa aba ahook
band.
Her lt-tter ald that Bantoa and the
Hawk were at her disposal, and that
Astra would be glad to see ber again
aa soon aa Mr. Edison' condition
permitted ber to leave. Bhe alao in
vited Mr. Edison to com to the cap
ital, but tba mother knew that ber
son depended on her preaene) on the
laland, ao declined.
Rosltta expressed deep disappoint
ment when Mr. Edlaon gave ber rea-
eon for not going back with 8anto
and the Hawk, but the chance to talk
to Banto on the return trip aolted
her best. After some hesitation h
decided to make a flying trip to Wash
ington the next day, aaiurlng Mr. Ed
laon that ah would stay only a day.
Bantoa received Instruction to be
ready to leave early In the morning.
The little, round fellow waa elated
when be thought of the three hour
alone with Roaltta.
HI night, since be had met Aatra
and Roaltta, were reetlea. Roiltta'e
many klndneise especially gave him
food for thought He paid mora at
tention to matters of dreas; ba ahaved
hla round, ruddy face every day. He
even used perfume. .
It daisied blm to think of the trip
to the capital with the countaea for
company.
Early in the dewy morning Banto
brought the Hawk to the cottage and
waited for Roaltta.
A little later the wonderful machine
leaped into the air and up and for
ward with mighty flaps of the glitter
ing wings.
Countea Roalny rose and went
slowly forward to the man who waa
directing the flight of the great bird;
the brain of the mechanism.
She leaned over the railing that
epaxated the cabin from tha steering
wheel and the rarioua lever. "How
high ara we now, Mr. Duprel t" aha
aaked.
Bantoa looked at tha aerograph:
2,627 feet, counteaa. Do you want to
go hlgherT"
"Oh, yea!"
The Hawk darted up; a turn of the
wheel worked the wlnga, and electric
spark were aeen In a ateady atream.
"What a wonderful machine thla
la!" whispered the countea In Bantoa'
ear. He had maatered hla timidity
"How Much I Admire Men Like You.
Mr. Duprel."
and. for the first time, turned to look
at her. Her brilliant eyea melted Into
the light blue, round eyea of Bantoa
"Tea, It la," be eald almply.
"Are we going atlll hlgherT ahe
aaked In a breathle tone.
Banto looked hurriedly at the aero
graph and aaw that It ahowed 16,000
feet In hla nervouaneee he had gone
higher than he Intended, ao be haatlly
changed the direction. It waa bitterly
cold for a ahort time, but the wing
oon generated enough heat to warm
the cabin; In fact. It waa too warm,
and Santoa opened the air condanaer
that let In the freah, pure air of that
altitude, where It la clear and Intoxi
cating In Ita eweetness.
"How much I admire men Ilka you.
Mr. Duprel. Tou have conquered the
air!" whispered tha counteaa to the
good boy who had succumbed to bar
charms.
"Counteaa, you ara too good to me;
you ara the sweetest, dearest woman I
have ever met," jtuttered tba bird
man. Ha waa still more dated when
he placed her dainty, dimpled band
on the steering wheel where It touched
hla.
"Where does this machine get tba
tremendous power that enable It to
fly wtra TeaoextyT" ajaeetJoaed
Boettta.
'Eleetrtcrty," waa an tka tittle man
aeld; thea be emlled at bla lair paa-
aenger, wboee band atlll reeled oa the
wheel, touching hla.
'Electricity V Bhe looked around at
the simple machinery In sight "How
do you generate UT"
Bantoa laughed at the shrewd queav
tlon, "We don't At least, not much
of it" Than be suddenly eloeed bla
moutb like one who baa realiaad ba ia
aaytng too much.
The clever woman read bla thoughte.
Bhe waa quiet for a ahort time, then
ber band released the wheel and fell
In her Lap. Bbe alghed deeply.
"Are you happy, Mr. DuprelT" waa
ber sudden question.
Santos waa ao surprised that be
gave aa Involuntary pull at the wheel
that took them from tbelr eouree.
Why do you aak thla question, count
eaa f
"Because a man Ilka you ought to be
very happy."
"A poor, loneaome fellow, such as
me?"
'Ara you lonely T I would have aup-
poaed that a genius, who could con
quer the air and save bla country,
couldn't be lonely."
Bantoa Duprel pnt oa the automatic
lock and let the wheel go. Hla Instinct
waa arouaed; something told him that
this beautiful woman waa playing
with him, and ha, the brave Bantoa Du
prel, turned toward the bewitching en
emy with eyea Ut up.
"Counteaa Roalny I Why are you
playing with me? I am not a great
man. I am not an inventor and con
queror; I am only a simple workman
trying to give my best to my master.
Should you tell all thla to blm, to Na
poleon Edlaon, It would be well placed.
but why do you apeak to me this
way?"
Hla appearance waa changed. Hla
tone was clear and atrong. Hla round
face waa pale.
The countea looked at him aa If
faactnated by bla outburat Tears ap
peared in her eyee.
'Mr. Duprel I Have I wounded you?
I am all alone, with no one to care for
me. Tou have been so kind to me
that I have, ever since Helgoland,
looked on you as my beat friend. Can
I help It if my lonellneea haa " ahe
did not finish her aentence, but fell
to Bobbing hysterically and poor San
tos' heart was softened.
"Can you pardon me, Mr. Duprel?
Will you still be my friend, my kind-
hearted friend V She offered both ber
handa to the unhappy man.
The control algnal rang. Banto
Jumped to the wbeeL He waa excited,
but automatically Blackened the
Hawk'a pace. It almoat fell down
ward and with a graceful curve aettled
on the roof of the Cryatal Palace.
Aatra waa awaiting Rositta'e arrival.
and Bantoa watched tha two women aa
they walked toward the elevator that
took them down to tbelr room. "At
eleven tomorrow night" called Roslt
ta, with a friendly wave of her band.
Santoa felt the encour: ement in
her manner and happily took the
Hawk to Its resting-place.

CHAPTER XIII.
Letter From Europe.
The Countes Roalny was surprised
to find a number of letters awaiting
har, all bearing European postmarks.
"How did they reach me?" she
aaked Astra.
"Napoleon told the Count von Wer-
densteln that you are my guest and
be also made arrangements to bare
your property Interests protected."
"Mr. Edlaon 1b very kind." Bhe
looked at Astra. "Do you know, I
sometime envy you."
Astra raised ber eyebrows queeUon-
Ingly.
"My dear, I do; you are so good and
noble that Mr. Edison cannot help lov
ing you aa he lovea goodness Itself
through you."
Astra sighed: "Then you love Na
poleon. Roaltta V
"I love him. Indeed." she replied
laughingly. "And were I as good as
you are, I would take up the glove and
light for the prize. But I my heart
waa poisoned long ago. I do not in
spire pure love." Her voice sounded
somewhat bitter.
"Dear sister," said Astra, putting
her arm around Rosltta, "I cannot be
lieve that you are not as good as you
appear, for I do not believe I could
love you aa I do If you were not good
