CHAPTER XVI.
A New Princess.
Napoleon found obstacles In the
way of obtaining the property where
he had discovered the desired cirynith.
i he (iennan crow n declared it was
not for sale. He asked for a long
lease, and the right to mi tie the Peak
Suemeg, but that would conflict with
the laws of Hungarian lease and rent
al rights.
Realizing that he never would ar
rive at the actual working of the mine,
unless he took a decided step, h paid
a visit to the Count von Werdensteiti
personally.
This time he crossed the ocean in
one of the newest English liners that
made the trip between New York and
Liverpool in three days.
Upon his arrival in Berlin he visited
his friend, Herr Kalmar, before he
even sought a hole). The German
was very happy to see the man with
whom he had so many pleasant deal
ings, ami readily explained Hie politi
cal situation in Europe, lie frankly
said that there was possibility of an
international disturbance; the people
were happy, but the nobility, and,
more particularly, the idle army and
navy officers, were agitating the ques
tion of restoring the standing armies
and aerial and naval defenses.
Napoleon listened gravely to the
opinions of this brave and broad
minded man who was doing all he
could to enlighten the people, lie
knew Herr Kalmar was a perfectly
trustworthy man, so he told him about
his difficulties In obtaining Peak Sue
meg.
Herr Kalmar said: "I believe that
the chancellor, notwithstanding his
defeat In American waters, lias re
tained the kaiser's good will, and has,
no doubt, delayed matters because be
wanted to lind out w’hy you want the
Peak Suetneg so badly. His spies are
i probably at work frying to ascertain
the value of the Peak, so that he can
1 Utilize it for his own purposes.”
i\apo;eon actcnowleoged this fact.
“Then you think the powers would
not hesitate to undo all I have clone
that they would gladly take up arms
again, and wage battle in God's beau
ttful, clear air?"
“I certainly do!" war. Herr Kalmar’f
emphatic answer.
"That makes it all the more itnpera
five that 1 carry out the pactum tc
the letter. I never could answer tc
history, if I were to break my oath.
He sighed. “If war is carried into the
cir, if anyone should discover the se
ret of cirynith and the aerodiomone
will find the means to conlound
Item." His face expressed grim de
ermination and Herr Kalmar respect
d him as a man more than a king, s
nan of his word.
The chancellor received Napoleor
'ery cordially.
Napoleon stated his errand, briefly
ie told the count that he was anxious
•-> gain control of the property if
lungary that, hatl belonged to th<
Schoinburg Lithow estates.
The count was somewhat taken
aback by this direct statement., lie
said, in his suavest manner:
"May I ask what causes your anxie
y in regard to that properly? To he
perfectly frank. I sent, my best
analysts there to assay that peak, hop
ing to find the name of the miners
that interests you, but they do not
find anything extraordinary. One ol
them mentions a peculiar quartz for
nation there that somewhat rcsemblet
the mineral used In manufacturing
glass, but that is all they could And.'
“They are right, count. 1 want
those crystals."
"I shall do my best for you, but
you know how imperfect our laws art
in regard to estates that fall to tin
'crown.”
"Can yoti not make an exception It
this case?"
The count shook his head doubt
| fully.
"His majesty iw the only one wh
could, and 1 ant sorry to say that you
honor does not happen to have hi
sympathy."
“Of course not; he thinks I hav
clipped his wings!” This reniar
slipped out unexpectedly.
He took leave of the count an
looked up Herr Kalmar once tnor
and fold him mrny things that sbowei
j (he big German he was in Napoleon
| confidence.
Shortly after this he left for Eng
land, and from there for New York.
Count von Werdenstein did no
know the true value of these crystals
but he was shrewd enough to surniisi
that they w’ere connected with Napo
leon’s aerodromones, those wonderfu
birds that vomited lightning. Woult
they ever be his? "Everything eomei
to the man who waits," he thought
and made ready to report the restil
of his work to his majesty.
As he was leaving the room, an at
tendant ushered in a bright-eyed littb
man, without announcement. The offi
eer explained that he earne from tin
Countess llosiny and the chancellor'
brow cleared.
The attendant was flsmissed am
the count motioned to a chair am
asked the messenger to sit down. In
stead of complying, the young mat
took a package from his ittside ves
pocket and handed it to the count. H
saw the handwriting of the countess
lie cdtefully opened the sealed en
velope and sitting down 'before hi
desk he began to read:
“Sir: The plans you outlined fo
my conduct before I went to llelgc
land have begun to develop. I » ii
shortly, know a few very importan
things in regard to the ‘aerodromone
with one of which you, yourself, liav
had some experience.
“What do you think of them? Wha
would you think of being able ti
manufacture them, to fly on them tb
red, white and black flag, instead o
I I lie stars and stripes?
“You may Till out. the papers tha
make the Countess Rosiny the Prir
I cess of Sehoinburg Tdthow. and I wisl
| you would have the estates in Gel
many and other countries transferrei
to me at once, as I want to take pos
session, particularly of the estate ii
Hungary, in tlie near future.
“Plans should be made to defem
my undertaking, plans that will in
I elude the manufacture of a flotilla n
1 aorodromones. I hardly think th
president of the international peae
committee will interrupt us. hut on
greatest strength will lie in brim
ready for any emergency.
“Tlie time of action is almost her?
but tt is impossible for me to shit
tlie exact date just now. Under m
circumstances can I tell the ou*com
until the papers of possession are ii
the hands of my legal advisers. Ifei
ron Konrad and Hans Schwab of Hri
lin. Upon their assurance that tli
title and deeds are iu perfect condi
tion, your excellency will hear fron
me further. With the best persona
regards, I am, as ever,
“Your obedient servant,
“Countess Rositta Rosiny.”
The chancellor's reelings. after he
had carefully read this letter were a
mingling of satisfaction and distrust,
lie realized that the countess had
cleverly taken command, and, notwith
standing her seeming servility, she
was the one to dictate and the chan
cellor the one to obey. He glanced
up at the little man who had brought
the letter. lie was standing stolidly
waiting.
“Is there an answer?" he asked In
English.
“Will you see the countess person
ally?" asked the chancellor.
“Who?" he asked stupidly.
“Oh, never mind," answered the
chancellor, knowing the man knew
nothing whatever about the message.
“Who will come after the answer, if
there is one?”
“A bird man.”
"A bird man?” The count did not
! know whether the man was really
| simple or not. "Where do you live?”
“in America.”
“H'm; that is a broad answer. Yes,
there will be a message."
Me sat (lowu and wrote:
“My Dear Countess: 1 am glad to
hear from you. Your wishes will b<
fulfilled to the letter. I will do my
best to prepare things for your re
ception. Your legal advisers will re
ceive the necessary papers in dm
course.
“With best wishes and hoping tc
hear from you soon. 1 am,
“Von Werdenstein.”
He sealed the letter, then gave it tc
'.he man, who left the room.
The chancellor pondered deeply
over the situution, then started foi
he royal palace to report Napoleon's
visit and -Kositta's promises to hi
j majesty.
When Napoleon arrived home to
had a long conference with \str*.
They were both somewhat depressed
His disappointment in not aecurin
'he Peak Suerneg was great, bepaw
he had many inventions that requires
the use of clr.vnith, and he knew th.e
the count's actions were a menace t«
• he peace movement.
They decided that they would marry
in the month of July. That evening
'hoy went to 1‘iryne to tell their deter
rnination to Mrs. Ediaon.
Napoleon and Astra spent another
day on Olryne. This time Napoleon
conducted the three women through
the wonderful plant where eirynith
was refined and manufactured into
parts of aerodiomones and other use
ful articles.
Rositta kept hei enrs and eyes wide
open, but not being trained along me
chanical lines she could not under
stand many of the things she saw.
Still she was glad that Napoleon hon
ored her with his confidence as from
now on there would be no objection tc
her visiting the shops whenever sht
pleased.
Napoleon took Astra hack to Wash
ington late In the afternoon. Mrs. Ed
ison and lloaltta walked down to tin
sandy shore and sat listening to the
waves. The mother was dreaming ol
the happy future for her son. The
other was weaving Inp threads of the
net she was tangling about her friends.
Santos was away, but he was ex
pected hack soon. She disliked to see
him leave her side, as she feared to
lose the control that she had gained
over bin.
He returned that pvening. when
! Mrs. Kdison retired the countess stole
out of the house and strolled toward
I the shore, where she knew Santos
1 would be a waiting her. Santos was
• the happiest of men when slip greeted
■ hint with passionate embraces and
kisses.
He was like a faithful, obedient dog.
Whatever Ttosiita asked he did wlth
' out question. Tonight he handed her
■ the count’s letter, that came in answer
! to the one he had sent for her.
! Rositta opened it. and he held his
pocket flashlight so she could read.
1 "My little blond boy, the lime is
1 nearing when my name will be
changed to Duprel. What do you think
' of that.? Mrs. Duprel? Doesn't (hat
l sound good to you?”
3 Santos’ only anew-pr was kisses; he
had begun to master the so-called lost
- art very quickly.
* "Do yon know how I have missed
you? Mr. Kdison and Astra were here,
r but since 1 knew you I can't enjoy
. them any more. I know it is not right
to feel that wav, as Napoleon has been
t very good to me. but mv sympathy is
with you, dear.” Her arm slipped
, around his neck. ”1 cannot hear him
criticise you.”
t "Criticise m<" ? Is lip dissatisfied
, with me?” The words were heavy
a with dismay. Rositta knew that she
f had touched the right strings. “Who
told you that?"
f "Don't take it seriously, Santos. 1
. have tried to keep it. to myself, but
, I—I conld not."
. "Did be say that i had not served
j him well? Did he say that ?’*
"He did,” whispered Roeilfa.
, Santos breathed fire and flame. Ro
sitta subtly convinced San-tos that he
j was the man, and not Napoleon Ndi
, son, whose name should be the revered
C one in American history. When areu
, meets were weak, kisses strengthened
, them, until poor Santos was molded
r into a form that suited Rositta. Then
; she said; v
“I own (lie cirynith deposits In Hun
gary. I never will give them to Na
, polnon. I want you to be his master.
, Will you come with me?” f
, "I am with you and yours forever!”
, The tone in which this was said was
enough for Rositta. She knew she had
won.
CHAPTER XVII.
i
I The Fifteenth of July.
July 15, the marriage day of Astra
and Napoleon, had been declared a
I
continental holiday.
From npsr and far came congratu
lations. They had not planned & gor
geous ceremony, but they could not
stop the expressions of love that came
from the loyal citizens. The whole
capital was alive with color, and the
messages that came and the sincere
joy of all, mnde the day one to be
remembered for years to come.
Astra had missed Ttosftta very much.
She had been unable to attend the
wedding, as site had been ill on the
Island of Ciryne for the last few
weel.j.
When Napoleon heard that the
countess was unable *o attend their
wedding on account of her Indisposi
tion, he thoughtfully shook bis head.
It seemed incredible that Rositta. who
was so full of vitality and energy,
should be 111. He only said: “Every
Illness has a remedy."
He did not give the matter further
thought.. He spent the last day before
bis marriage in his aerodromone, the
American Eagle. Where he was, or
what he did, no one seemed to know,
and he did not volunteer the informa
tion.
After their wedding luncheon A«hra
returned to her presidential office, as
♦here were things that she wanted to
attend to personally. Especially the
criminal case of Nikolay Mozrak. The
Criminal Court of the continent had
decreed capital punishment for at
tempted assassination of the President
of the United Republics of America
Astra read the document carefully,
and instead of signing it, she wrote
“Pardoned, and shall be Instantly re
leased.’’
(Signed)
“ASTRA PRUDENT EDISON."
She dispatched the pardon by a spo
•ial messenger, and then took up other
■ natters.
At seven o'clock she was at the Urys
al Palace, to dress for the banquet of
he Continental Commercial and tn
ustrlal Association, one of the most
-owerful societies organized to p'o
note the welfare of business people.
She and Napoleon drove to the new
‘’apital Hotel in an open car Th»
banquet was arranged for 4.000 guests
•<nd the whole upper floor was thrown
openrvfor the purpose.
At eleven o'clock the presidential
party left and threaded Its way toward
the Crystal Palace. At the Palace
.fudge Scanlan of the Continental
Court a waited them. His mission was
to deliver a heavy looking letter to the
President.
“Your excellency will pardon me Tor
taking this liberty, but Mr. Mozrak.
the prisoner you so kindly pardoned,
insisted that this letter is important,
and would not leave the prison until
I promised him that 1 would deliver it
personally."
Astra took the letter and thanked
him for Us safe delivery, then dis
missed him with a few kind words.
Napoleon escorted his mother to her
rooms, then returned to the library,
, where Astra awaited him. Her can
did, beautiful face was pale and tears
glistened in her eyes. Her whole be
ing expressed sorrow.
“What Is it, dear?" asked her hue
band, sympathetically.
Instead of replying, ahe handed him
a letter. He recognized the, fine hand
writing of the Countess Kosiny. It
read:
“My dear Friends and Protectors: j
“I am writing this to yon both, as T
know yon will be married when you
receive it. 1 know you will receive all
kinds of presents, surprises and eon
gratulattons, as you are both the be
loved of your followers. Rut in order
to give more value to the kind wishes,
1 ha^e decided to tell you the truth,
the unvarnished, cruel truth.
"I wonder if it will surprise you to
find that I am, and have been in the
service of Count von Wardens)ein. •
You have been the kindest of hosts,
indeed, so good that you made my leek
really despicable but much easier.
“Don’t take tills very seriously. Uifc
is made up of an equal portion ot
had-and good, and the end is a! wave
the same. Death gathers us all ill,
and puts fn our places others who may
find pleasure in destroying ail that wr
have created. You both dream ot
world peace—I wish 1 could eretitt
peace in my own heart!
”1 admire you both, especially T-ht
poleon, and for that reason. I h4fa you

tli 're are no middle streams.-iu my na

' There is no use of my telling yoc

soon enough, and vou both will be

Ro«iny.
“And now. 1 wish you all bappin/ra.
until we meet again.
“ROSITTA,
“Princess of S« bombin g l.iibow.’*
Napoleon quietly folded the litter
; and banded it back to Astra. He did
not reein disturbed at all. fie pinked
tip tlie envelope and saw (hq New
York postmark.
“It is clear. The countess h is th*
secret of cirynitfc and. very likely, tu
the aerodronione,"
“Hut how did she get ii ?”
“That remains to be s-'en. Wcrtlen
stein evidently thinks that everything
is fair in love or war.”
