For flftv vfar« the continent of North
America had been Isolated from the rest

The Invention had saved the country
from foreign Invasion, and the continent

this part of the world. The story open*

Penetrating the rays. Dying, he warns

the Island of Clryne, but dies beforo he
can tell the location of the place. Astra
Is nominated for the presidency by the
continental party. Napoleon Edison calls

CHAPTER IX.—Continued.
Napoleon bowed, and so the matter
Waa settled.
The Countess Rosltta Roslny was
led Into the room.
Astra embraced the countess kindly,
"Welcome to our continent, my dear
countese.”
the wheel, and with a small light stud-
ied his map and the compass.
Santos now took the wheel and Na-
poleon sat down opposite the Preal-
dent. He pointed out the different
places as they rushed over them—
Frankfort, Louisville, St, Louis, Wich-
ita, Ashland, Santa Fe, Prescott and
Los Angeles—then came the ocean.
Astra sat silent. She had a great
mind and her appreciative qualities
were far above the average.
‘‘The greenish light that you see Just
before us Is the Island of Clryne,” said
Napoleon.
A few minutes later the aerodromone
settled down In a very large hangar,
but as the place was dark Astra could
not see the machine and Its outer ap-
pearance. Napoleon helped her out
and, showing her his watch, convinced
her that they had made the trip In
three hours; It was eleven o'clock.
"As rapidly as the earth revolve*,"
remarked Astra.
Napoleon led Astra into a large,
square building In the center of the
group. A peculiar odor greeted her
nostrils as she entered. It was not
disagreeable, but reminded her of
some oppressive tropical flower. She
followed Napoleon Into the private lab-
oratory.
Hours passed while Napoleon told
the President everything, and the
dawn was breaking as he led her out
Into the air. He led her to the hangar
again and, turning all the electric
lights on, he showed her all Jhe aero-
dromones. “Six In all, and with these I
can light against the world and win.”
Before Astra could reply, he said:
“And now, your excellency, I would
like to Introduce you to the queen
of this little colony.”
Astra felt faint, but followed Napo-
leon as If In a dream.
They went to the nearest cottage.
In the doorway stood a beautiful ma-
tron waiting to receive them.
“Mother," said Napoleon, “let me In-
troduce you to her excellency, the
President of the United Republics.”
Astra stepped forward and before
Mrs. Edison could utter a word she
embraced and kissed her, then, bow-
ing her head on the matron’s bosom,
she wept tears of Joy.
Neither spoke. They seemed to un-
derstand each other.
CHAPTER X.
Between Z Raye.
The general of the confederated Eu-
ropean army and navy had arrived on
the scene of action. The first line of
resistance was down, and he believed
the American continent ready for oc-
cupancy. In' his official aeroplane he
had hurried to take command.
Shortly after his arrlvel the ncout-
lng cruiser, Beelzebub, ran Into the
second line of Z rays and so reported
by wireless to the ndnilrul'B ship. The
man of war shook his list toward the
west: "You will not escape mo, nev-
ertheless!” He was angry nnd gave
Countess Roslny sobbed. Her heart
seemed touched by the kind reception
given her by the representative of the
greatest republic! But though Napo-
leon Edison was a scientist, Inventor
•nd a discoverer, he could not see Into
the heart of the weak, beautiful .wom-
an. Hnd he known whut was going
on within It, he would have acted dif-
ferently.
Astra Invited the countess to stay
With *ir in the Crystal Palate. It
was almost midnight when Napoleon
left, assuring Astra that he would cull
for her at eleven the next evening.
At the time appointed ho was at the
door with a powerful automobile. As-
tra refused to sit In the tonneau of the
machine, so Napoleon assisted her to
the seat beside him at the Wheel and
she let her hand rest lightly on his
arm. The big machine rnn evenly out
of town, Into the suburbs, and turned
Into a big gnrden that was a naturnl
forest. The large mansion was desert-
ed, but a gnrago showed signs of life.
A broad streum of light spread out
Into the quiet summer night from one
window. The sound of Napoleon's
horn must have been familiar to the
occupant of the building, iih the Inrge
door was pushed open In time to let
the largo car enter.
Napoleon stopped the car nnd ns
elated the President down. Then tak-
ing the arm of a man who opened the
door, ho said:
"Excellency, allow me to present Mr.
Santos Duprul, my best and trusted
comrade."
The short man bowed with rever-
ence.
"Ih everything ready?” asked Napo-
leon. The little man nodded.
Napoleon opened n door and led his
guest through It; Santos locked the
door of the gurngo und followed them.
The room they entered opened sky-
ward. A shimmering object, entirely
filling tho pines, gleamed In the star-
light. Napoleon led the President up
* few steps, Into a small space Ihnt
was Inclosed, but with something that
was perfectly transparent, nnd asked
her to sit down on a couch.
“Will you kindly wait here for a few
momentsT” he asked, and he went fur-
ther forward. Astra’s eyes boenme
used to the dim light; she saw Napo-
leon stop before some complicated
mechanism and n steering wheel. San-
tos came and closed the door through
which they had entered the car. Elec-
tric sparks flew from something at
the front.
"Are you ready?” asked Santo*
"Ready!" was Napoleon's reply ns
be turned a lever. The mschlne atnrt-
•d upward and two huge wings thst
Astrs Imd not noticed before, began to
beat the air. She had not experienced
the slightest shock, yet she realised
that they were going up with great
velocity. The machine was practically
noiseless the only sound being a
whistling murmur caused by the heat-
ing wings
The coolness was perceptible and
Astra wrapped her cloak more closely
•bout her. Napoleon gave a twist to
hurried orders to lay the necessary
cables nnd move tho engineering heats
forward.
Ho had hnrdly finished his orders
when another message camo that was
trifling, yet It annoyed him. The cruis-
ing aeroplanes sent word that u tre-
mendous American eagle was ap-
proaching from the west. Many re-
membered that the engle hnd been
seen above Berlin; many of the sea-
men predicted disaster. Others laughed
and did not tuke the news Herloualy.
The Count von Werdenateln stood
on the bridge of the flagship Empress
Brlgltta. His powerful glass engorly
sought tho western horizon, searching
tho sky for that eagle.
Tho strange air craft crept nearer,
headed directly for the flagship. The
"Welcome to Our Continent, My Dear
Counteee.”
count saw tlint the under portion of
tho body was transparent, and that a
single mnn was la It.
When the air ernft arrived about
two hundred feet above the flagship the
red, white and olue flag with the stars
was unfurled, and the craft Btnppcd Its
flight, resting easily on the air, lastly
moving Its wings.
Wbh it the wonderful performance
which had thrilled tho seamen, or was
It an Intended cheer? Nobod) knows,
but all those wno could see the eagle
shouted a huzza. Only one man bit
hts Ups nervously, the Count von Wer
denstetn,
The American flag saluted the cheer
lng men, then a white flag of truce ap-
peared beside It
"I bring the greetings of the people
of the American continent, nnd want
to communlcnto with the commander
In chief,” came a clear, strong voice
to the ears of the men on the flagship.
The generatlesimus waved bin hand
toward the eagle. "If you will Hsornd
the observation tower we can converse
comfortably,” added tho voice u> him.
The great chancellor went toward
the elevator that carried him up to
the tower, and the eagle descended un-
til It was on a level with the top of
the tower. Opening a side window,
the bird mkn leaned out and saluted
the count.
"Here we meet, face to face, your
excellency! ”
“The Chevalier dl Leon!”
"The chevalier Is no more, your
honor; I am Napoleon Edison.”
"Mr. Edison, you are worthy of your
names, both of them.”
"Thank you, sir!” humbly.
“I presume you have come to renew
your offer.”
"The time of offering is gone, your
excellency." Napoleon's voice was
cold and cutting. The count was sur-
prised.
“I have come to your excellency to
deliver the message from the United
American Republics."
“Yes? 1 am listening."
"The navy of the European confed-
eracy entered American waters with
apparent warlike Intention and de-
stroyed the first Isolation line. The
United Republics took note of tbla un-
lawful action and hence give you
warning that unless the navy under
your personal command Is removed
from these waters Immediately, the
United Republics of America will cut
you off from your resources and make
prisoners of all the vessels that linger
In the zone where they are at present.
"Twelve hours are given for re-
treat!”
The Count von Werdenateln lost his
temper on hearing these words and
took them for a personal Insult.
"Can I see the papers that make you
the bearer of such an impudent mes-
sage?"
Napoleon moved the wheel a trifle
and the bird slid toward the count,
who took the sealed package from his
hand. He broke It open and read:
"The bearer, Ml. Napoleon Edison,
Is ihe all-powerful representative of
the President of the U. R. of A.
(Signed) ASTRA PRUDENT,
(Seal) President.
The count smiled and said while fold-
ing the paper; "Tell to those who sent
you that I, Count von Werdenstein*
commander In chief of the navies and
armies of the European confederacy,
will breuk down all the resistance that
may be before me, and will land and
occupy the countries that you call the
United Republics of America. The
warning that you give me will not be
considered, neither will your actions
be feared. 1 am headed for (he Amer-
ican continent and I will land.”
“This Is your final answer, your ex-
cellency?”
■it Is."
"Please listen to me for a moment,
not ad a courier and representative,
but us man to man
“Not so very long ago I was your
prisoner, and when 1 told you that I
would escape, you only laughed 1
escaped, and am standing here before
you ns proof that I can do what I
say. Count von Werdenstein, how will
you answer for the mass murder that
you will be responsible for? We have
tried to avoid conflict.”
"You speak as If a mighty nrmy and
navy were at your elbow! What can
you, a single man, do against the force
back of me?”
"Then you will not believe me, will
not heed the warning I give you?
Count, look into your own heart! I,
u single man, have the power to send
you, with all your force, to the bot-
tom of the sea. I, nlone, plead with
you to return to your own land nnd
let your armies and navies disband,
for if you don't, many will never hob
their loved ones again.” The count
wur impressed by Napoleon's snd
voice, but there were many things to
be considered, nnd, above all else, hlB
own pride. A thousand deaths would
be easier to account for thnn the fact
that he, Count von Werdenstein, at
tile command of a single man In nn
odd uirslip, turned homeward and
abandoned the Invasion of America.
When he sinike, there was bitterness
in Ills voice:
"Mr. Edison, something tells me
that you can do ns you say. I know
tlint, yet I will forget It until 1 nrrlve

ASSOCIATION MEETS AT STILL-
WATER IN CONNECTION
WITH SHORT COURSE.
THE MILK PROBLEMS DISCUSSED
More Than 300 Birds In Poultry Show;

State News Notes
of Interest.
Stillwater.—Robert L. Peebly of
Oklahoma City was elected president
of the Oklahoma Dairymen's Associa-
tion at the annual meeting held here
last week, in connection with the win-
ter short course for farmers at the A.
and M. college. J. H. Leavitt of Okla-
homa City was elected vice president
and Prof. Roy C. Potts of Oklahoma
A. nnd M. college, secretary-treasurer.
This W'us the sixth annual conven-
tion of the Oklahoma Duirymen’s As-
sociation. It was attended by more
than seventy-five dairymen and cream-
erymen from different parts of the
state. Many interesting hdtlresses
were made.
One of the most interesting fea-
tures of the program of dairy day was
the lecture in the afternoon by J. n.
Leavitt of the Belle Isle dairy at Okla-
homa City. Mr. Leavitt talked on
“Cost of Producing Milk” and in the
course of his remarks explained a
thorough cost system for dairies. Ac-
cording to Mr. Leavitt it is possible
to make a profit In the dairy business
even under expensive conditions of
dairying and he expressed the belief
that the Oklahoma farmer could profit
greatly by using a cost system and
watching the corners of the business.
According to the figures produced
by Mr. Leavitt, each cow of the herd
on his dairy farm costs $229.32 a year.
Cost of management of the barn and
farm amounts to $130.36 a year per
cow. Delivery amounts to $47.61 a
cowr. Overhead expenses, including
telephones and a vast number of in-
cidentals, amount to 851.35 a cow.
This, according to Mr. Leavitt, is "high
priced milk," and he stated that the
average farmer can greatly reduce
these costs. The gross receipts from
the dairy amount to *250.20 per cow
j last year, according to the speaker,
j leaving a net profit of $40.80 per cow
I annually, "We even charge our cows
rent,” said Mr. Leavitt In discussing
the cost system.
The value of dairy products in 1913
I exceeded $814,000,000, according to J.
I D, Jarvis, representing the educational
j bureau of a large separator manufac-
turing company. This value was ex-
ceeded only by the corn crop, he said.
More than 300 birds were exhibited
J at the poultry show held in connection
I with the winter short course for farm-
ers at A. nnd M. college. J. W. South-
j mayd, editor of the O. K. Poultry
j Journal of Mounds, Okla., acted as
I judge of the show.
REUTER CASE ON AGAIN
Another Inning In Celebrated Murder
Trial At Bartlesville.
Bartlesville. — Witnesses for the
state are now testifying In the Reuter
murder ease. The state lias sum-
moned 70 witnesses, the defense about
35. Ten of the jurors are farmers
who swore they had never read of the
case. Mrs. Reuter Is much improved
and hopes are entertained that the
trial could proceed without more de-
lay. Taking of evidence is expected
to require until late this week. The
opening statements Indicated that
much new testimony would be intro-
duced on both sides. Mrs. Reuter
is being tried the Reconrf time, for the
murder of her husband, Charles T.
Reuter, a Tulsa lawyer.
CHIEF’S FOLLOWERS SUFFER.
African Emigrants Give Up Homes
and Money; Ship Not in Sight.
Boloy.—Three hundred followers of
Alfred Sam, alleged chief of the
Ashantee tribe of the West African
Gold Coast, are in dire straits at We-
leetka and Boley, where Sam has his
headquarters in organizing a colony
which he says he intends taking to
Africa as Boon as the project is fully
financed. The negroes are living in
tents which fail to afford them pro-
tection from the elements. They
have disposed of all their property
and paid their funds into the coffers
of Chief Sam. They are penniless.
Children run barefooted and half
clothed. Women are working for a
bare subsistence. Food is extremely
scarce.
Despite the hardships the colony en-
dures most of the members have con-
fidence in Sum's scheme which has
been repeatedly pronounced a fake. A
large number of negroes who paid the
necessary fee of $25 to be taken to
Africa have withdrawn from the move-
ment and returned to their homes
minus their money. It is now said
that the latest information about the
ship that Is to take the negroes to
Africa will sail on January 24.
Those who have investigated Sam’s
scheme declare they have more evi-
dence that he has operated through-
out various sections of the country
under numerous aliases defrauding ne-
groes through methods now being
practiced upon those in Oklahoma. In
Freeman, W. Va., in 1912, Sam was
known as Dr. Murdock, it is alleged,
and also operated under the same
name of Goodwill. He represented
himself as having been brought from
Africa by Bishop Turner. In West
Virginia towns Sam told of his scheme
to take the negroes to Africa and then
began practicing “voodooism,” It is
charged. He was run out of the dis-
trict after he had fleeced a large num-
ber of negroes who paid him for sur-
gical instruments that never arrived.
At Bramwell, W. Va., Sam repre-
sented himself as Prince Hosannah of
the West Ffrican coast. Members of
the African M. E. church there were
fleeced, In a fake African colonization
scheme.
Bishop William H. Heard at Sierre
Leone, has pronounced Sam's scheme
a fake.

KNEW WAY OF THE WORLD
Skeptical Jamie Waa Not to Be Flat-

"In some respects,” said a New York
lawyer, "Harry Thaw Is as naive as a
child. Although his money commands
the country’s finest legal talent, he al-
ways insists that It is he who directs
his cases. • He is skeptical, too, of all
who approach him.”
The lawyer laughed.
"Thaw,” he continued, “Is as skepti-
cal as Jamie. Jamie, a village cel-
ebrity somewhat lacking In Intellect,
sat on the racecourse fence the day
of the local races, munching away at a
leg of mutton which he had somehow
procured and of which he was very
proud.
"A wealthy steel magnate, whose
country house was near the village,

GREAT CHANGE
IN TWENTY YEARS
Shaw Lady Looks Younger Instead
of Older with Lapse
of Time.
Shaw, Miss.—Mrs. V. N. Smith, of
this city, makes an interesting state-
ment of her experiences, as follows;
"Twenty-nine years ago, I contracted
a serious form of womanly trouble.
We called in our family physician,
and he treated me for It, but It
Beemed to do no good. It went on
into other bad troubles, and I com-
menced taking all kinds of medicines
to see if 1 could get relief, but to no
avail.
I suffered with that trouble up until
eleven years ago, when I read about
Cardul, the woman’s tonic, and bought
a full treatment. It relieved me at
once, and after taking the full treat-
ment, I am now well and stout.
