Dear me-" the princess cried, in looking Jen
MES shoulder at these amazing headings, "hOw like
home that looks! The Bugle doesn't seem at all like
a London journal 1t reminds me Of Chicago pa
pers account of base ball match base ball match
when Chicago winning of course, when Arson
had lined out the ball from the plate the lake front
and brought three in on a home run at a critical
point in the game"
Good gracious" cried Jennie. ''What language
you speaking? Is it slang or some foreign
tongue?"
1T is pure Chicagoese, Jennie into which l oc-
casiOnaIy lapse even here in prm Vienna 1 would
like to see good base ball match, with the Chicago

III go with pleasure if you will tell me first who
looted the war chest. If you place your dainty
foretnger the spot that conceals 100000 900 forms
in gold, I'll go anywhere with you"
ooh yes that reminds me. l spoke to my nus
band this morning and asked him if he could get you
enrolled special detective and he said there
might be some difficulty in obtaining such appoint
ment for a woman. Would you have any objection
to dressing as a nice young man. Jennie?"
I'D very much rather not 1 hope you didn't sls-

riy and shook her head
No told him believed that you could solve the
mystery if any one could, and, remembering what
you had done in that affair of the diamonds my hus
band has the greatest faith in your powers as an in
vestgator but he fears the authorities here will be
reluctant to allow woman to have any part in the
search. They have very old fashioned ideas about
woman in Austria and think her proper place is pre-
siding over tea table"
well, if they only knew it," said Jennie arch;v
"some things have been discovered over teacup
within our memories"
THAT is quite true replied the princess "lut
we can hardly give the incident as recommends
ton to the Austrian authorities. By the way. have
you noticed that paper in Vienna said single
word about the robbery of the war chest? 1t must
have been elegraphed here very promptly from Lon
don, and yet they do not even deny it. which is the
usual way of meeting the truth"
While they talking message came from tho
prince asking if he might take the liberty of braal
ing in upon their conference. few moments after
the prince himself entered the apartment and bowed

Il have succeeded" he said beyond my expecta-
tions. 1t seems that newspaper in London las
published an account of the whole affair and the DO
lice. who were at their wits end before are even
more fuStered that the account of the robbery
has been made public"
Jennie has just received a paper from London -
said the princess hurriedly, which says the war
chest of Austria has been robbed of 100000 600
forins, but there is nothing about it in the Vienna
press"
NO, replied the prince NOR is there likely to no

the princess nnocenty.
Truth. It's all truth; that is Just where the
trouble is. There is little use in our denying it. be.
cause this London sheet is evidently well informed
ard, to deny it, we should have to publish something
about the robbery itself which we are not inclined to
do. 1t is known, however, who the two correspon-
dents of the London paper are and 1 believe the
police are going to make it interesting for those
two gentlemen that they will be glad to leave Vienna
for time at least OF course nothing can be done
openly because Englishmen make such fuss when
their liberties encroached upon One of the
young men has been lured across the frontier by a
bogus telegram, and think the authorities will see
that he does not get back in hurry; the other we
expect to be rid Of before long OF course we could
expel him, but if we did it would be thought that we
had done so because he had found out the truth
about the explosion"
'How did you learn about the explosion?" asked
the princess.
''Oh have known all there was to know ever
since it happenedr'
The princess gave Jennie quick look which said
plainly words "Here was the news we wanted
In our own household and we suspected it."
"Why didn't you tell me about it?" cried the
princess Indignantly.
'Well, you see my dear, you never took any IN
