"Would Your Imperial Highness allow me to ask a question?" I ventured. His eyes met mine frankly. "Why, yes certainly." "I have no authority to ask this, but I suppose there might be an exchange of prisoners. Edison and Widding are important to America and ". "You mean they might be exchanged for me?" his face grew stern. "I would not hear of it.
"By George, you're right!" exclaimed Wood. "Where is Widding? Is he stopping at your hotel?" "Yes. We're all there, Miss Ryerson and her brother and Widding and I." "Call up the hotel quick. We must know about this." A minute later I had Miss Ryerson on the 'phone and as soon as I heard her voice I knew that something was wrong.
Before Edison discovered the trick they were off at full speed and he was overpowered on the back seat. Think of that! Thomas A. Edison abducted by the Germans!" "Why would they do such a thing?" "Why? Don't you see? That invention of Widding's will destroy the German fleet. It's a matter of life and death to them and Edison knows all about it all the details Widding told him."
"What does she say?" asked the general anxiously, as I hung up the receiver. "She is very much distressed. She says Widding and her brother disappeared from the hotel last night and no one has any idea where they are."
Ah, it's fine for you to ask how we does, and the days shortening, and the air sharpening." "Well, Dame, shall I send to for a warm cloak for you?" said Madeline. "Ho! thankye, young leddy thankye kindly, and I'll wear it at your widding, for they says you be going to git married to the larned man yander. Wish ye well, ma'am, wish ye well."
His old 'oman's a gossip of mine we were young togither and the lads did not know which to like the best. So we often meets, and talks of the old times. I be going up there now. Och! I hope I shall be asked to the widding. And what a nice month to wid in; Novimber Novimber, that's the merry month for me! But 'tis cold bitter cold, too. Well, good day good day.
Anyhow, unless he's absolutely narrow and obstinate " "Oh, no." "Good! Where are the Committee of Twenty-one? In Chicago?" "Yes." "And the Crown Prince too?" "Yes." "We'll be there to-morrow and listen! We can destroy the German fleet. Widding's invention will do it. Poor Widding!
I don't care what happens to me and anyway I I'm a spy." "A spy?" He nodded. "In the service of the Germans. It was through me they knew about Widding's invention to destroy their fleet. It was through me that Edison and Widding were abducted. I meant to disappear that's why I joined von Hindenburg's army, but we were captured and here I am."
Widding has just seen Thomas A. Edison." That was a name to conjure with, and the General's face brightened. "I'm listening," he said. We settled back in our chairs and Lemuel A. Widding, with awkward movements, drew from his pockets some papers which he offered to the American commander. "These speak for themselves, General," he began.
