are dhe pleasantest comrade that I
ever had, but I am troubled. The con
tlnuoue Indoor life Is beginning to tell
on me. I am used to much exercise
in the open air, and I have many
things that I am worried about"
A few days later Captain Euler told
the prisoners that they would be al
lowed to spend the evenings on the
roof of the building.
The countess watched Chevalier dl
Leon's face very closely when the cap
tain told them this and saw the gleam
of real pleasure tn his eyes.
That evening they were taken to
the roof of the building; to be accu­
rate, to a section of the roof which
was surrounded by a high wall, ao
high that It prevented them from see­
ing the courtyard beneath, or anything
but the stars and the pale face of the
full moon.
It was springtime.
"Don’t you think this would be an
ideal place to send up fire rockets?"
He looked toward the stars; his eyie
wandered over the dark blue Arma­
ment restlessly.
“ You are playing with Are all the
time,” remarked the countess, as she
moved nearer to the chevalier.
“ Have you ever heard of a case
where people were married In a pris­
on?” she continued.
’ No, I never have.”
“ Chevalier, will yon tell me one
thing—frankly, honestly?” Her voice
was tender and soft.
"Anything you ask, countesa."
"A re you engaged to be married?”
"I am n o t” The firmness of his
voice was enough to assure the count­
ess that he told the truth.
"A re you in love?"
"In love?” he repeated thoughtfully.
" I don't know; all I know la that I
have an Image, a saint enshrined In
my heart, of whom I think, for whose
welfare I am fighting and suffering. If
that Is love, then I am In love.”
The countess sighed, a sob broke
from her heaving bosom and she let
her shoulder lean heavily against him;
she burled her face in his shoulder
and the tears trickled down her soft
cheeks as she sighed:
"I am so very, very unhappy.”
The chevalier bent his head over
her and hts eye« became dark for a
second; then he folded her In his
arms and their lips met In a kiss.
The spell was short; the next mo­
ment the countess stood up and the
chevalier picked her up and placed
her on the bench again, aa If she were
a little child; then he turned and run­
down the stairs to his prison.
C H A P T E R V III.
T h e Fire w o rk s.
Every evening after that, except
when It stormed, the prisoners went
up on the roof. These evenings were
the pleasantest part of the days.
During the day the chevalier read
the dally papers and magazines with
great Interest. He found plenty of
engrossing news there, especially the
preparations of the confederated navy
and army. One article, very well
written by one of the chief engineers,
particularly attracted his attention.
That article described the Z ray and
its destroyer. The supply station of
destruction was Madeira, from which
place heavy cables were laid to reach
the 30th longitudinal meridian, along
which the Z ray ran. The heaviest
current of electricity was conducted
by this tremendous cable to three spe­
cially built boats. The Sampsonlan
vibrating rays were generated on these
boats. Each ray made 3,000,000 vibra­
tions a second and all were directed
In a harmonious line toward the Z ray
b elt In time the wall of Isolation
would fall down under the Immense
force playing against it, and the in­
vasion of America would follow.
After a long study the chevalier
placed the magazine on the table and
muttered: “ The time for action Is
nearing.”
One evening at the dinner table the
chevalier asked Captain Euler if he
could have some material tor pyro-
technlcal dieplays In order to lessen
the monotony of their existence.
The kind captain furnished every­
thing he asked for. The countess of­
fered her services and they worked al­
most all afternoon the next day get­
ting the fireworks ready. Dl Leon
seemed to be an expert; he soon had
a large Japanese wheel, several turn­
ing stars and also a number of long
sky rockets ready.
When evening came they excitedly
prepared for the grand fireworks. The
sky was clear and the moon had not
yet risen. Chevalier di Leon arranged
the different pleceB, and when the cap­
tain came up he flred the first air run­
ner. The long rocket went high up
in the air, whirring and whistling, and
then, with a puff, broke into thousands
of red sparks. Another puff brought
white and the third brought blue.
The next was the Japanese sun;
this* was fastened to the center of the
roof. It circled and sparklod for a
long time.
The chevalier was deeply Interested
In his projectiles and, as the countess
assisted him. Captain Euler had to
play the part of audience. There was
a larger audience outside their Inclos­
ure, but that was another world.
When all the set pieces were used
the chevalier looked up in the sky,
seemingly searching for something;
at last his hand went into his pocket
and, bringing out an object not unlike
a Browning pistol, he said: "And now,
ladles and gentlemen, I will show you
something new In the pyrotechnlcal
art."

Dancer.
Mme. Pavlowa had to paee through
something of an ordeal during her
recent visit to Russia. After a per­
formance at St. Petersburg ehe was
called to the imperial box and the
ever asked her why she had ceased to
live in Russia. But the dancer was
equal to the occasion. She .ntered
into an animated description ot the
beauties of her new London horns,
and especially of her pet twana. pig­
eon* and parrots, who could hardly
be expected to enjoy the delights of
travel and who even at that moment
were pining for the return of their
mistreat. The exar listened with
smueement and made a virtue of neo-
eaalty when he gave his permission
to the great dancer to live where
and how she pleased so long aa she
remembered that her own people
were second to none tn appreciation
of her art.
