“She seem s created to leave sorrow

C H A P T E R XVIII.
Th* Ssorst of the Asrodromon*.
The newly made Princess of Schom-
burg Lithow and her fiance, Santos,
reached Berlin safely. They flew In
the H awk to Irkutsk In Aslatlo Russia
and from th ere continued th eir Jour
ney on the quick aerollne to the Ger
man capital. They sen t th e aerodro-
mone back to Clryne.
The Roslny mansion was ready for
them. R osltta's first aotlon was to
send word to the Count von W erden
steln th a t she w anted to see him.
W hen the chancellor came, R osltta
received him alone. It was neceszary
for her to explain the situation. The
Count Roslny was dead. He had been
on board the Tzar th a t Napoleon had
sunk. This freed R osltta, but ns a
princess she could not m arry a plain
citizen, so she asked the count to
make Mr. Duprel a titled nobleman.
Roeltta told all she thought necessary,
and they talked for a long time.
Santos was told the plans w ithout
the slightest idea th a t it was a tre
mendous, far-reaching plot designed to
destroy all the achievem ents of the
peace comm ittee. He could see noth
ing but R osltta, he could think of noth
ing but th eir approaching m arriage.
The purpose the chancellor and Ro-
sitta had In mind, was to m anufacture
and equip a num ber of aerodrom onss.
If they pursued this desire, they would
have. Inside of a year, the power to
m aster th e situation and tak e the lead
In political affairs.
Suem sg now belonged to R osltta and
the oirynlth deposit there was very
rich. The Count von W erdensteln
placed an unlim ited account In the
bank to her credit, so th a t she and
Santos could begin w ork a t once.
The people of Kiss-Cell w ere sur
prised a t th e unusual activities dis
played by the strange men Imported.
Santos Duprel w as very busy. He
had been Informed th a t a fter the suc
cessful completion of the first aero-
drom one he would have th e title of
"count” conferred upon him, and th a t
this would rem ove all the b arriers be
tw een R osltta and him. T heir m ar
riage would take place the day of the
trial flight. This fired hls ambition,
and he worked hard and long. He was
allowed to plan as he wished, and one
day laid hls blue prints before the
Count von W erdensteln. He showed
him th a t a larger and more powerful
aerodrom one than Napoleon’s would
be necessary; otherw ise the design
and m ake would be unchanged. This
Im provem ent In size would give more
motive power, and th u s make It supe
rio r to th e Eagle.
"And w hat Is your motive power?
I don’t see any details In your plan
th a t would explain the wonderful
power th a t your devils of the a ir pos
sess.”
Santos cast a questioning glance at
Rosltta.
She nodded acquiescence,
and he began:
"The power, of course, Is electricity.
I will try to explain things as simply
as they are. Tho flight of the aero
dromone Is based on the flight of a
bird—not any bird, but the king of the
air, the eagle. Size of body, wings,
and balance are all considered. A fter
a long search and study, Napoleon Ed
ison found th a t no muscle power oould
have the endurance of the eagle and a
few o th er birds th at are able to cover
rem arkably long distances In a very

til the force of the opposite m agnetic
power forces them apart, and the repe
tition of thla operation 1* called flig h t"
“T h at certainly sounds sim ple,” m u r
m ured th e chancellor.
“Now tak e the aerodrom one,’’ con
tinued Santos. “Through m echanical
lnvantlona, and clrynlth, we have Im
proved the bird's m ethod of flight. The
Im provem ent Is In th e storing away of
unused m agnetism . T hs m ore quickly
we fly, the m ore m agnetism Is gath
ered by the m achine.” Santos pointed
to th s front part of the machine on th#
blueprint, calling the chancellor’s a t
tention to the contrivance th a t gave
the m achine the appearance of an
eagle. It was a large brass ball, cov
ered w ith a clrynlth cap. Then ha
pointed to a broad brass bar th a t ex
tended over the en tire top of the m a
chine; th a t bar was like a round
brush, and Its duty was to g ath er In
every little spark of electricity, and
store It In the brass collector. W hen
the Insulation was broken, a lightning
flash was sen t out, directed a t the will
of the a ir man. So long as the m a
chine was In motion th ere was always
plenty of electricity in tho collector,
ready to be sent out to cause doetruo
tlon to anything.
"W onderful!” sighed tho c o u n t “I
know w hat those sparks mean, I have
seen them In action."
"T he sim ple m achinery th a t Is built
Into every aerodrom one Is to control
the flight and to s ta rt the wings. On
account of the extrem e sim plicity of
the m echanism and the trem endous
stren g th of oirynlth, th e aerodrom one
is, practically speaking, ln d e stru o
tlble.”
“B ut how can one m achine capture
the other, or even fight the other, un
der these conditions?" asked the count
anxiously.
"T here a re two ways In which a m a
chine may gain victory over the other.
One is to disable the brain of the m a
chine, th a t Is, the man behind th#
wheel.”
"How can th a t be done?” asked th*
count eagerly.
“Clrynlth, as you know, Is harder
than anything except the diamond, so
I believe If hard steel bullets were
m ade with diamond points they would
p en etrate the com paratively thin shell
of clrynlth th a t defends th e airm an.
However, this is only a theory. Ex
perim ents m ust show the advisability
of th eir m anufacture.”
"W hat Is th# o th er w ay?”
"T h at Is a certain method, and Is
based on the laws of electricity th a t
seem to govern aerial navigation."
"W hat is it?" asked the couut, impa
tiently, as Santos hesitated and looked
a t Rosltta.
“It Is th e sam e as when a boy takes
a piece of am ber o r any other sub
stan ce th a t can be m agnetized and
lifts up a paper scrap. The quicker
airm an has to m aneuver so as to alight
on top of the hostile m achine. The
low er m achine then sticks to the up
per, like the paper to the am ber, only
with such g reat force th a t It cannot
be released until the cu rren t Is stopped
and the necessary Insulation betw een
the opposing forces is obtained.”
"B ut th e wings of the low er m achine
m ight s trik e the upper.” rem arked the
count.
"It looks th a t way,” answ ered San
tos wearily. It brought back the hap
py days In the service of Napoleon,
and hls h e a rt was heavy. “But, as I
have m entioned, different law s prevail
In th e air, totally different from th#
laws th a t govern the land or w ater.
The atm ospherical electricity has
qualities th a t cannot be Judged by our
present knowledge. It has to be ex
perim ented with. O ur trials on the
Island of C lryne showed us th at the
aerodrom ones do not Injure each
o th er; they m ight stick together, or
be burled apart, but they are never
dam aged.”
"Then you think, Mr. Duprel, th a t
you will be able to capture E dison’«
force?”
The little man cast an appealing
glance tow ard R osltta; she looked him
straig h t In the eyes and encouraged
him. He said bravely:
"Mr. Edison Is a very form idable en
emy, but our Improved m achines will
give us th e advantage, and besides,
we will have a larg er fleet.”
The count was satisfied and the
work under Santos' direction w ent on.
It took m onths before the factory was
In perfect shape, and th e various parts
w ere m anufactured for th e ae ro d ro
mones.
They often wondered th a t Napoleon
had not appeared to Interfere with
th eir work.
