dumps this last week or two, and 1
Z don't know what in the world is the
matter With her. l suspect it is some
love affair, but she will say nothing,
although l have asked her time and
again what is the trouble. Now, you
are such a cheerful, conscling young
woman that thought if Gretlich We're
IN your service for a time she migh6
brighten up and be her own self again.
SO, you see, instead of robbing me, I am
really taking advantage of your good
nature"
Il am afraid you are just saying
that to make it easier for me to be sell
fsh; still, you are SO generous, princess,
that am not going to object to any
thing you do, but just give myself up
to luxury while stay in Vienna.
"That is right. All, here is Gretlich.
Now, Gretlich, want youto help make
Miss Baxter's stay here SC pleasant that
she will never want to leave us. .
II shall do my best, your highness, ;"
said the girl with quiet Difference.
The princess left the two alone to-
gether, and Jennie saw that Gretlich
was not the least ornamental appendage
to the handsome suit of rooms. Gretlich
was an excellent example of that type
Of fair women for which Vienna is
noted, but she was, as the princess had
said, extremely downcast, and Jennie,
who had a deep sympathy for all who
worked, spoke kindly to the girl and
endeavored to cheer her There was
something of unaccustomed tenderness
in the compassionate tones of Jennie s
voice that touched the girl, for, after a
brief and Intellectual effort at self con-
( troll she broke down and wept To her
plying listener she told her story. She
had been betrothed to soldier whose
regiment was stationed in the burg.
When last the girl saw her lover, he
was to be that night on guard in the
treasury. Before morning catastrophe
of some kind occurred. The girl did not
know quite what had happened Some

see how complete her Vaccinations are.
No nation trusts another, and, if Aus
tria had proof that England is at the
bottom of this robbery, she dare not
say anything because her war chest is
empty. Then, again, she dare not al
low either Germany or Russia to know
Internationally she has been robbed,
for no one can tell what either of these
nations would do under the circum.

even its own people know what has

4 Neither the soldiers relatives nor his
betrothed was allowed to see him after
the disaster. He had been buried Sc
cretly, and it appeared to be the inten-
tion of the authorities to avoid all pub.
licity. The relatives and the betrothed
of the dead soldier had been warned to
keep silence and seek no further i'm
formation. 1t was not till several, days
after her lovers death that Gretlich,
anxious because he did not keep his APP
pointment with her and not hearing
from him, fearing that he was ILL., be-
gan to make inquiries. Then she re-
ceived together the informa ton and the
caution.
In the presence of death ali CONSIDERS
are futile, and Jennie realized this as
she endeavored as we'll as she could to
comfort the girl Her heart was so
much enlisted in this that perhaps her
intellect was the less active, but here
she stood on the very threshold of the
secret she had come to Vienna to dis
cover and yet had not the slightest sus-
picion that the girls tragedy and her

rating the very item of news that she
had come SO far to learn, all of which
would seem to show that none of us are
so bright and clever as we imagine our
selves to be.
In the afternoon the princess entered
Jennie's sitting room carrying in her
hand bunch of letters.
s'There!" she cried. "SVhile you have
been resting have been working, and
we are not going to allow any time to
be lost l have written with my own
hand invitations to about two dozen
people to our tea ON Thursday, among
others the wife of the premier, Countess

"Oh, yes!" said Jennie. .'She has

most Of her companion visitors had
taken their leave. and when the princess
approached the two she arose with some
trepidation.
My GEAR princess, I" she said, .'your
tea has been SO good and the company
OF your young compatriot has been so
charming that have done nothing but
chatter, chatter, chatter away about

that you will honor me with your pres

piled the princess, with that gracious
condescension which became her so
we'll.
The garrulous old lady was the last
to take her leave, and when the pin
cess was left alone with her guest she
cried:
'Jennie, I have found out absolutely
nothing! What have you discovered 2"
