the streets of Vienna at night So, .Jen-
ME, we must pay some respect to con-
ventionality, and we will take the car
riage, Now tell me where you have
been and what you have seen and all
about it. -
Over their belated decoction of tea
Jennie related everything that had
happened.
And what do you expect to learn
from the analysis at the chemist s, Jen-
nie?'
Il expect to learn something that
will startle the director Of police
"And what is that? Jennie, don't
keep me on tenterhooks in this provok-
| ing way. How can you act so? | shall
write to Lord Donal and tell him that
you are here in Vienna, if you don
mind. "

as that | suppose | must divulge all
my suspicious, But | really don t

With that the princess ran away and
presently reappeared with her wraps on.
The two drove to the shop of Herr Feltz
on the Graubenstrausse and were told
that the chemist could not be seen in
any circumstances, He had left orders
that he was not to he disturbed

"He is working at the analysis now,
I'll warrant, whispered the princess to
her companion In short time Herr
Feltz himself appeared. He greeted the
