JENNIE BAXTER. JOURNALIST
BY ROBERT BARR
TX. An Unlocked For Encounter.
copyright, 1900, by Robert Barr.


At 8 O'Clock the long train came to a
s%tandstill, II minutes late, at Luga, and
ample time was allowed for a leisurely
breakfast in the buffet of the station.
Jennie found a small table and sat
down beside it, ordering coffee and rolls
from the waiter who came to serve her.
Looking round at the cosmopolitan COM
pany and listening to the many lam
guages whose clash gave a babel air to
the restaurant, Jennie fell to musing on
the strange experiences she had encoun-
tered since leaving London. 1t seemed
to her she had been taking part in some
CHASTITY nightmare, and she shuddered
as she thought of the lawlessness, under
of law, of this great and despotic
empire, where ven the ruler was under
the surveillance of his subordinates, and
could not get a letter out of his own
dominion in safety were he so minded.
"Ah, lost princessl'
She placed her hand suddenly to her
throat. for the catch in her breath SEEM
ed to be ~suffocating her, then looked up
and saw Lord Donal Stirling, in the or
binary everyday dress of an English
gentleman, as we'll groomed as if he had
come, not from a train, but from his
own house. There was a kindly smile
on his lips and a sparkle in his eyes, but
his face was of CHASTITY pallor.
ooh, Lord Donal!" she cried, regard
ing him with eyes of wonder and fear.
"What is wrong with youf"
Nothing" the young man replied
with an attempt at a laugh, e%snothing,
now that I have found you, princess. I
have been making a night of it, that's
all, and am suffering the consequences
in the morning. May ] sit DOWN."
He dropped into a chair on the other
eide of the table and went on.
'Like all dissipated men, I am going
to breakfast on stimulants. Waiter .
he said, ''bring me a large glass of your
best brandy"
"And, waiter" INTERCEPTED Jennie in
French, s'bring two breakfasts. I sup
pose it was not your breakfast that you
ordered just now, Lord Donal?"

said. .sStill, it pleads in my favor that
I do not carry brandy with me. as l
ought to do, and SO must drink the vile
stuff they call their best here"
"You should eat as WE'LL" she insist
ed. taking charge of him. as if she had
every right to do SO.
"All shall be as you say, now that l
have found you, but don't be surprised

"What is the matters" she asked
breathlessly. "You certainly look very

"Please do not call me princess. %
said the girl, looking down at the table,

"Then what am I to call you, prin-
cess?"
"My name is Jennie Baxter" she
said in a low voice.
"Miss Jennie Baxter?" he asked
eagerly, with emphasis on the first word.
"Miss Jennie Baxter, she answered,
still not looking up at him.
He leaned back in his chair and said:

there toto write a report of ii for my
paper. L can never thank you enough.
Lord Donal, for your kindness to me
that evening""
"Your thanks are belated," said the
young man, with a visible attempt at
gayety. "You should have written and
acknowledged the kindness you are good
enough to say l rendered to you. You
knew my address and etiquette demand
ed that you should make your acknowl-
edgments.
Il was reluctant to write" said Jen-
ME, a smile lowering round her lips,
Clearing my letter might act as a clew.

gitimate business of Mr.. Cadbury Tay-

"Great heavensl" cried the young
man. ''How came you to know about
that? But of course the Princess Won
S%teinheimer told you of it. She wrote
to me charging me with all sorts of
~wickednesses for endeavoring to find
you"

go to the telegraph office and send a
message to the real princess, Palace
Steinheimer, Vienna. Say you are en-
gagged to be married to Jennie Baxter
and ask her to telegraph you at Ber-
lin"
"I'll do it," replied the young man.
When Lord Donal came out of the
telegraph Office, Jennie said to him,
"Wait a moment till I gointo the sleep
ing car and get my rugs and hand bag"
"Ill go for Them" he cried impetus
ously.

why later. The conductor is a villain
and was in collision with the police"

"Pcor devil! He CAM help himself. He
must do what the police order him to
do while he is in Russia"
"I'll get my things and go into an
ordinary first class carriage. When I
pass this door, you must get your be-
longings and come and find me. There

ductor to see us together"

lover. "Indeed, Miss Princess, if you

"Well, want to tell you why I did
not allow you to resign"
Slowly she undid the large buttons of
her jacket. Then. taking it by the lapel
and holding it SO that no one else could
see. she drew partly forth from the in
side pocket the large envelope until the
stamp of the embassy was plainly Wis

Every well; we shall be across the

authorities find before that time how
they have been checkmated, and if they
have any suspicion that I am the cause
of it, is it not likely that they will have
me stopped and searched on some pre-
tense or other?"
Lord Donal pondered for a moment.
"They are quite capable of it," he
said; ''but, Jennie, l will fight for you

however, before interfering with a mes

"That is what I was going to pro-

you will know exactly why I came to
Russia"
"Don't tell me anything you would
rather not" said the young man hur-
riedly.
81 would rather not, but it must be
told" answered the girl.
The story lasted a long time, and
when it was ended the young nan cried
enthusiastically in answer to her ques-

blame you in the slightest. 1t wasn't
Hardwick who sent you here at all, but

The wool market in this section still

will come. At present the buyers are
buying from the Boston market, where
there is thousands of pounds of last
years wool, which is being held, but
at present the conditions of the mar
ket are such, that these buyers have
a load that is getting very heavy to
carry, and it is thought by many deal
ers, that break will soon come which
will most probably give a further de-
cline to prices. In Ohio the best wool
