order Not from tho Palace Htolnhoimor Bnid tho prlncewi with declHlon Well ho nilKht hesitate uliout that yet novarthvlctw it la too funny to think that a mere newspaper woman coming into a city which contains only one or two of her frlondn should diiro to talk to tho chief of police nn I hnvn dono tonight and force him actually to beg that I nIiiiII remain iu tho city and con tinno to assist him Tell mo what yon anid HHkod tho princess eagerly and Jcnnlo related nil that had imnaod between them over tho telophono And do yon moan to toll mo that yon are going to give that man tho right to use all tlm information yon have acquired and allow him to accept complacently all tho kudos that such a discovery entitles you to Why certainly replied Jennie What good is tho kudos to mo All the credit I desire I got in tho olllco of Tho Dally Bugle In London But yon silly girl holding euch ii secret as yon hold you conld have made your fortune insisted tho practical princess for tho principles which had been instilled into her during a youth spent in Chicago had not been eradicat ed by her residence in Vienna If you had gono to the government and said 4IIow much will you give mo if I re atoro to you tho mining gold just imagine what their answer would be Yes 1 Hiipposo there was money in tho fccheme if it had been really u se cret But yon forget that tomorrow morning tho chief of police would have known as much as ho knows tonight Of courso if 1 had gono alone to tho treasury vault and kept my discovery to myself 1 might perhaps have held np the government of Austria Hungary lis miccecsfully as I held np tho chief of police tonight But with tho director watching everything I did and going with mo to the cliomist there wart no possibility of keeping tho matter a ho cret Well Jennie all I can say in that yon aro a very foolish girl Hero you ore working hard as you said in one of your letters merely to make a living and now with the greatest nonchalance yon allow a fortune to slip through your fingers Now 1 am simply not going to ullow this I shall tell my husband all that has happened and ho shall mako the government treat yon honestly if not generously I assure you Jennie that Lord Donal no I wont mention his nnmo pinco yon protest ho strenu ously bnt tho future young man who ever ho is will not think the less of you because you come to him with u hand some dowry Bnt hero we are at homo od I wont Bay another word ou the ubject if it nnnoya you When Jennie reached her dolightful apartments which looked ovou more luxuriantly comfortable bathed iu the soft light that now Hooded them from quiet toned shaded lamps than they did in tho more garish light of day Bhe walked np and down her sitting room in deep meditation She was in a quan dary Whether or not to risk sending a coded telegram to her paper was the Question that presented itself to her If she were sure that no one elHO would learn the news the would prefer to wait until she had further particulars of the treasury cntnstrophe A good deal would depend on whether tho director of police took any one into his confidence that night or not If be did not then he would bo aware that only ho ami the girl possessed that important piece of news If a full account of tho discovery appeared in the next mornings Daily Bugle then when that paper arrived In Vienna or even before if a synopsis Were telegraphed to tho government as it was morally certain to bo tho direct or would know at onco that sho was the correspondent of tho newspaper whom he wus bo anxious to frighten out of Vienna On tho othor hand her friendship with the Princess von Stein heimer gave her such influence with tho chiefs superior that after tho lesson ebe had taught him ho might hesitate to make any move against her Then again the news that tonight belonged to two persons might ou the morrow come to the knowledge of all tho corre spondents in Vienna and her efforts aa far aa The Bngle was concerned would have been iu vain This consideration decided the girl and casting off all sign of hesitation she sat down at her writ ing table and began the first chapter of the solution of the Vienna mystery Her opening sentence wua exceedingly diplomatic The chief of police of Vienna has made a most startling dis covery Beginning thus she went on to details of the discovery she had that day made When her accouut was fin ished and codified she went down to her bostetuj and said PrlucoM I want n trustworthy man who will take n long telegrAin to tho mitral telegraph office pay for it and como nway quickly before any ono cnu nnk him inconvenient questlonn Would It not be bettor to call a dlnuHtmannor AdlenstmuniifTT Thnt layourcom mlfHionnaire or telegraph moaaongorl No I think not They aro all nn in be rod niul can bo traced Oh I know I cried tho prlnceaa 1 will send our coachman Ho will ho out of his livery now and he la n most re liable man i he will not answer incon venient questions or any others oven If they are asked To her telegram for publication Jen nie had added a private dispatch to the editor that It would horathor inconven ient for her if ho published the accouut He glared at her through his glaitea noxt morning hut she loft tho decision entirely with him Hero was tho newa and if he thought it worth tho riak ho might hold it over if not ho waa to print it rogardlcsH of consequences Ah n matter of fact the editor with fear and trembling held tho newa for a day ho that ho might not embarrass his fair representative but ho anxious waa he that he Hat up all night until the oth er papers were out and ho heaved a High of relief when on glancing over them he found that not ono of thorn contained an inkling of tho information locked np in hia desk And bo ho drop ped off to sleep when tho day wiih break ing Next night ho had nearly as much anxiety for although Tho Bugle would contain tho news other papers might havo it aa well and so for tho second time ho waited in his ofllco until tho other sheets wet from tho press woro brought to him Again fortune favored him and tho triumph belonged to The Bugle alone The morning after her intorviow with tho director of police Jennie taking a small hand satchel in which she placed tho various bottles containing the dif ferent diiHta which tho chemist had sep arated went abroad alone and hailing a llacro gave tho driver the address of Professor Carl Seigfried Tho carriage of tho princess was always at tho dis posal of the girl but on this occasion she did not wish to bo oinbarrussed with so pretentious an equipage Tho cab took her into a street linod with tall edifices and loft her at tho number she had givou tho driver Tho building seemed to bo one let ont in tints and tenements She mounted stair after stair and only at the very top did she see the professors name painted on a door Here she rapped soveral times without any attention being paid to her summons but at last the door waa opened partially by a man whom she took qnito accurately to be the pro fessor himself His head waa white and hia face deeply wrinkled Ho glared at her through his glasses and said to her Young lady you have made a mis take Thorn are the rooms of Professor Carl Seigfried It is Professor Carl Seigfried that I wish to see said tho girl hurriedly as tho old man was preparing to shut the door Wlnit in vnn vriinr frnm lilm I waut hoiuo information from him about explosives I havo been told that ho knows more about explosives than any other man living Quite right ho dooa What then An explosion has taken placo pro ducing tho most remarkable results They say that uoither dynamite nor any othor known force could havo had anch an effect on metals and minerals aa this power haa had Ah dynamito ia a toy for chil dren I cried tho old man opening the door a little farther exhibiting an inter est which had up to that nicment been absent from his manner Well wbero did this explosion take placo Do you wish me to go and see it Perhaps later on At present I wish to show you sonio of its effects bnt I dont propose to do so hero in the pas sageway Quito right qnito right hastily ejaculated the old scientist throwing tho door wide open Of courso I am not accustomed to visits from fashion able young ladles and I thought at first there had been a mistake but if you have any real scientific problem I shall bo delighted to givo my attention to it What may appear very extraordinary to the lay mind will doubtless prove fully explainable by scientists Coma in como in I Tho old man shut the door behind her and led her along a dark passage into a large apartment whoso ceiling was tho rcuf of the buildiug At first lie sight it Beemed iu nmuziug disorder Hugo as it was it was cluttered witli curioifs shaped machines ami instru ments A twisted conglomeration of glass tubing bent into fantastic tangles stood on a central table and had evi dently been occupying tho profeisoro attention at the time he was mterrupt ed Tho place was lined with shelving THE NORFOLK NEWS THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 MM whom the walls woro not occupied with cupboard and every shelf wm burden ed with bottle and apparatus of iffer ont kinds Whatover enro Professor Holgfrled took of his apparatus he seemed to have little for his fnrnitnro There was hardly n decent chair in tho place oxcopt ono loop armchair cov ered with a tigers skin in which tho professor evidently took his cobo whllo meditating or watching tho progress of nn oxporlmont This chair ho did not offer to tho young lady In fact ho did not offer her a chair at all but sank down on tho tlgora akin himself placed tho tips of his lingers together and glared at her through his glittering glasses Now young woman ho Raid sharply what have you brought for mo 7 Dont begin to chatter now for my timo in valuable Hhow mo what you have brought and I will tell you all about it and most likely a very simple thing it is Jennie Interested in ho rudo a man Binilod drew up tho leant decropit chair ithu could find and sat down in spite of tho angry mutteringa of her irritated boat Then she opened her satchel took out the small Inittlo of gold and handed it to him without n word Tho old man took it somewhat contemptuously ehook out the cork adjusted hia glasses then suddenly seemed to take a nervous in terest in tho material presented to him Ho rose and went nearer tho light Drawing out tho cork with trembling hands ho poured somo of tho contents into his open palm The reault waa startling enongh Tho old man flung np his hands lotting the vial crash into a thousand pieces on tho floor He stag gorod forward shrieking Ah nieln Gott main Gottl Then to the consternation of Jennie who had already rison iu terror from her chair tho old man plunged forward on hia faco Jcnnio had difllculty in re pressing a shriek She looked round hurriedly for a boll to ring but there ovidently was none Sho tried to open tho door and cry for help but in her excitement could find neither handle nor latch It seemed to bo locked and j tho key doubtless was in tho professors pocket Sho thought at first that ho had dropped doad but the continuing monna na ho lay on tho floor convinced her of her error Sho bent over him anxiously anil cried What can I do to help you With a struggle ho muttered Tho bottlo the bottle in tho cupboard bo hind yon Sho hurriedly flung open tho doors of the cupboard indicated and found a bottle of brandy and a glass which sho partly filled Tho old man had with nn effort struggled into a sitting posture and she held the glass of fiery liquid to his pallid lips He gulped down tho brandy and gasped I feol better now Help mo to my chair Assisting him to his feet flho sup ported liim to his armchair when he shook himself free crying nngrily Let mo alone I Dont you see I am all right again Tho girl stood aside and the professor dropped into his chair his nervons hands vibrating on his knees For a long interval nothing was said by ei ther and the girl at last sonted herself in tho chair sho had formerly occupied Tho first words tho old man spoko were Who sent you hero No one I came of my own accord I wished to meet some ono who had a largo knowledge of explosives and Herr Feltz tho chemist gave me your ad dress Herr Feltzl Herr Feltzl ho repeat ed So he sent yon here No one sent me here insisted the girl It is as I toll you Herr Feltz merely gave mo your address Wherodid you got that powdered gold It camo from the debris of an ex plosion I know yon said that before Where waa tho explosion Who caused it That I dont know Dont you know whoro tho explosion waa Yea I know where tha explosion waa but I dont know who caused it Who sent you here I tell you no one sent ma here That is not truo Tha man who caused the explosion sent you here You 4 HIP staggered forward shrlcUlng mcln Ootlmcln Gottl Ah are his minion What do yon expect to find out frou me I expect to leirn what explosive was used to produce the result that seemed to havo such u remarkable effect on you Why do you say that It had no effect on mo My heurt is weak I am subject to nuch attack and I ward them off with brandy Some day thoy will kill ma Then you wont loam any secrets from a dead man will you I hope Profeasor Soigf rled that yon havomany yearn yet to live and I must further add that I did not expect anch a rccoption an I have received from n man of acienco na I was told you were If you have no information to give to mo very well that onda it all you havo to do ia to any ho Who cent you hero No one iih I have repented onco or twice If any ono had I would givo j him my opinion of him when I got hack You refuse to tell me anything about tho explosive that powdered that gold Refuse Of courmi I refuse I What did you expect I supposo tho man who aent you here thought because you were an engaging young woman and I nn old dotard I would gabble to you tho results of a Hfoaworlr Oh no no not But I am not an old dotard I hnvo many years to live yot I hopo bo Well I most bid yon good morning I shall go to hoiuo one else Tho old man forbidding grin It ia useless showed his teeth in a Your bottlo ia broken and the material it contained ia it backward and forward without taking pated Not a trace of it ia left Ho waved his thin emaciated in tho air aa ho spoke Oh that doesnt matter in hand tho lenBt said Jennie I havo Bevoral other bottles hero in my satchel Tho professor placed hia hands on tho arms of hiachair and slowly raised him self to hia feet You havo others ho cried other bottles Lot mo see them let mo see thorn I No replied Jennie I wont With n speed which after hia recent collapse Jenuio had not expected tho professor ambled ronnd to tho door and placed his back against it Tho glasses over hia eyes neemed to sparkle as if with fire His talonliko fingers crooked rigidly Ho breathed rapidly and was ovidently laboring under tenso excite ment Who knows you camo up to seo mo howhispered hoarsely glaring at her Jennie having arisen stood there smoothing down her perfectly fittim glove and answered with a calmness sb3 waa far from feeling Who knows I am hero No ono but tho director of police Oli tho director of police 1 echoed tho professor quite evidently abashed by tho information Tho rigidity of his attitude relaxed and ho becamo once more the old man be had appeared aa ho sat in a heap in his chair Yon will excuse mo he muttered edging round towurd his chair again I was excited I noticed that you wore professor But before yon sit down again please unlock that door Why ho asked pausing on hia way to tho chnir Becauso I wish it open And I ho said in a higher tone wish it to remain locked until wo havo como to some understanding I cant let you go out now but I shall permit you to go unmolested as soon as you have mado some explanation to mo If you do not unlock tho door im mediately I shall take this machine and fling it through tho front window out on the street Tho crashing glass on tho pavement will soon bring somo one to my rescue professor and as I have a voice of my own and small hesitation about shoutng I shall have little diffi culty iu directing tho strungera whero to como As Jennie spoko sho moved swiftly to ward tho table on which stood the strango aggregation of reflectors and bent glass tubing No no no I screamed tho pro fessor springing between her and the table Touch any thing but that any thing but that I Do not disturb it an inch thero ia danger death not only to you and me but perhaps to tha wholo city Keep away from it I Very well then said Jennie step ping back in spite of her endeavor to sustain herself control open the door Opon both doors and leave them so After that if you romain seated in yonr chair I shall not touch the machine nor shall I leave until I mako the ex planations you requiro and you havo answered somo questions that I shall ask But I must havo a clear way to tba stair in case yon should become ex cited again Ill unlock tha doors Ill unlock both doors replied tho old man tremu lonsly fumbling about bis pockets for his keys But keep away from that machine unless you want to bring swift destruction on us nil With au eagerness that retarded his speed the professor constantly looking over his shoulder at his visitor unlock ed the first door then hastily he flung open the second and tottered back to his chair whero ho collapsed on the tiger skin trembling and exhausted We may bo overheard ho whined Ono can never tell who may sneak quietly up tho stair I am surrounded by spies tryiug to fiud out what I am doiug Wait a moment said Jennie Sho went quickly to the outer door found that it closed with a spring latch opened and shut it two or three times until she wns perfectly familiar with its workings theu sho closed it drew tho inner door nearly shut and sat down Thero sho said wo are quite safe from interruption Professor Seig fried but I must request you not to move from your chair I havo no intention of doing so murmured tho old man Who sent yon You said you would tell me 1 think you owe me an explanation I think yon owo mo one replied tho girl As I told you before no one sent me I came here entirely of my own accord and I shall endeavor tj make clear to you exactly why I came Some time ago there occurred in this city a terrific explosion Whero When
