leon Edison kissed it reverently. He
bowed once more and started toward
the door. Miss Prudent hesitated a
moment—a question wsa on her lips—
but as she hesitated It was too late;
the visitor was gone.
“Clrynith—Clrynlth!” she sighed,
more than uttered, and looked at the
chair that had a short moment ago
held that splendid man.
It seemed to her as though the
stranger had carried away something
—something?—what? She did not
know. She sat down before the desk
and taking the ring In her hand looked
at it, and finally she slipped It on her
finger. It fitted perfectly.
Then she looked at it more closely
and saw some small tracings on It.
She could not distinguish the lines
with her unaided eyes, so took a mag
nifying glass and examined It curious
ly. A cry of Joy left her Ups as she
deciphered the strange word “Clry-
nith.”
By some coincidence Napoleon Edi
son, emerging from the portal, again
encountered the man he had met three
days before; the only difference waa
that this t<me he was leaving and Am-
broslo Hale was coming.
The tall man with those ferret-like
eyee, fox nose and brittle mustache
was evidently surprised. As he passed
the porter's gate he asked who the
stranger was. The porter could not
remember, but It was a name that
made him think of Napoleon; whether
It was Bonaparte or Caesar he could
not recall.
Mr. Hale was received in the green
room.
Astra had a peculiar dislike for that
color, not in nature, but In furnish
ings and clothing, and generally re
ceived people ehe did not like In the
green room. That room had a de
pressing effect on her montallty, and
the people who visited her there soon
left.
“I have come this time, my dear As
tra, to congratulate you. I wanted to
be the first. You are nominated by
tho contlnentallsts, and there is no
doubt but you will be elected; there
is hardly any opposition on the sec-
tlonlsts’ part. Whom could they put
up against you, my dear Astra?”
He preseed the hand of the girl
warmly. He knew that he had to win
her love or he would never reach the
goal he was longing for.
"I wish you would consider me your
very best friend, my dear. Consult me
any time you please. Your wisdom
and Judgment Is great. The whole
continent Is looking at you as the
deliverer; still, once In a while the
word of an experienced statesman will
help.”
"Indeed, Mr. Hale, I assure you that
If I ever need your kindly offered help
I will call on you.”
The Intimate conversation did not
last long, as other visitors arrived and
spoiled Ambroslo Hale's ardently
longed for opportunity.
Before Astra fell asleep, she klaaed
the glittering ring on which the word
Clrynlth was faintly engraved.
That evening Napoleon Edison, ac
companied by his short friend, aat In
a compartment of the fourteen-hour
Frisco limited, flying toward the West;
the train that was shot through the
tube by compreesed air was so perfect
that not a rumble was heard, or a
quiver felt.
Napoleon Edison bent over an out-
spread plan showing an object of pe
culiar construction. Hts companion
watched him for a while, then fell
asleep. Edison looked at the fat
man's nodding head, and turned the
light lower, so that It fell only on his
blueprints.
He sat studying those lines that ran
straight, curved and oblique; they
formed a picture that was not Intend
