(Copyright, tem by nreeet naval The room which hid been allotted to elennie Baxter in the Schloss Stein- beimer enjoyed o most extended out. look. A door window gave 'access to a atone balcony, which hung against the castle wall like a swallow's nest at the eaves of a house. This balcony was just 'wide enough to give ample space for eine of the easy rockiug chairs which the princess had imported from America and which Jennie thought were the only really comfortable pieces of furni- twee the old stronghold possessed, touch ns she admired the artistic excellence of the walleye' chairs, tables and cab- inets which for centuries had served the needs of the ancient line that had lived in the schloss. The chair was as modern as tbis morniug's daily paper, its woodwork painted a bright scarlet, its arms like broad shelves, its rockers as sensitively balanced as a marine compass—in fact, joet such a clink as one would find dotted round the vast 'veranda of an American slimmer hotel. In this chair sat Mies Jennie, two open letters on her lap and perplexity in the dainty little frown that faintly ruffled the smoothness of her fair brow. The scene from the high balcony was one to be remembered; bat, although this 'was her last day at the castle, the girl save 'lathing of the pretty town of Menu so far below, the distant chalk line down the slope beyond which narked the turbulent course of the foaming Adige, the lofty monntains all around or the farther snow peaks, dazzlingly white against the deep blu of the sky. One of the epistles which lay on her lap was the letter she had received from the editor reconntieg the difficulties he bad met with while endeavoring to make arrangements for reporting ade- quately the Dnehess of Chiselhurst's ball; the other was the still nnauswered invitation from the duchess to the princess. Jennie was flattered to know that already the editor, who bad en- gaged her with unconcealed reluctance, now expected her to aceomplieh what the entire staff was powerless to effect. She knew that, had she lent the cour- age, it was only necessary to accept the invitation in the name of her present bostess and. attend the great society function as Princess von Steinheimer. Yet she hesitated, not so much on ac- cottat of the manifest danger of discov- ery, but because she bad grown to like the princess, and this impersonation, if it came to the knowledge of the ono 'mist intimately concerned, as it was almost sure to do, would doubtless be regarded as an unpardonable liberty. As she swayed gently back and forth in the gaudy rocking chair she thought of confessing everything to the princess and asking her assistance; but, ponder- ing on this, she saw that it was staking ,everything on one throw of the dice. If the princess refused, then the scheme became impoesible, as that lady herself would answer the letter and decline the invitation. Jennie soothed her accns- ing conscience by telling herself that this impersonation would do no harm to Princess on Steinheimer or to any one else, for that matter, while it would be of inestimable assistance to her own jonrnalistic career. From that she drift- ed to meditation on the inequalities of ibis life, the superabundance which some possess, while others, no less de- serving, have clic in obtaining the scant necvesities. And, this consoling train of thonght having fixed her re- solve to take the goods the gods scat- tered at her feet, or rather threw into ber lap, she drew a long sigh of deter- mination as there tame a gentle tap at the door of her room and the voice of the princess herself said, "May I come in ?" Jennie. a rapid blush flaming her cheeks, sprang to her feet. flung the let- ters on a table and opened the door. The visitor entered, looking charm- ing enough to be 0 princess of fairyland, and „erected Mies Dexter most cordially. "I am so carry yon are lenving." sho said. "Cnnnot yon he persona:el to ohange your mind and stay with me? Where could you find a more lovely view thnn that from your Balcony bere?" "Or a more lovely hoetess?" said the girl, looking at lice visitor with units - Backache and rear!, Kidney Disease Have never been able to resist the extraordinary ciera.tiv0 power of Dr. Chase's kidney., Liver Pills..

The princess laughed, and as they new stood together on the balcony she put out her hands, peisheaJennie gently' into the rocking .chair again, seating herself jauntily on its broad arm, and thus the two looked like a pair of neje* chievous scboolgirls, home at vacation, thoroughly enjoying their liberty, "Titerel Now your are xny prisoner, about to be punished for flattery,,cried the princess. "I saw by the motion of the chair that you had just jumped ujs from it when I disturbed you, so there yon are back in it again. What were you thinking about? A rocking chair lends itself deliciously to meditation, and we always think of some one very particular as we rock." "I am no exception to the rule," sighed Jennie, was thinking of yea, princess." "How nice of you to say that, and, as one good turn deserves another, here is proof that a certain yenta lady has been in niy thoughts." As she spoke the princess took from her pocket an embossed case of Russia leather, opened it and displayed a string of diamonds lustrous as drops of liquid light. "I want you to wear these stones in remembrance of our diamond mystery; also I confess that I want you to think of me every time you put them on. See bow conceited I am! One does not like to be forgotten; that is why 1 chose dia- monds." Jennie took the string, her own eyes for a moment rivaling in brilliancy the sparkle of the gems; then the moisture obscured her vision, and she automatic- ally poured the stones from one band to the other, as if their scintillating glitter hypnotized her. She tried once 01 twice to speak, but could not be sure of her voice, so remained silent. The princess, noticing her agitation, gently lifted the necklace and clasped it ronnd the girl's white throat, chattering all the while with nervous haste. "There! You can wear diamonds, and there are so many to whom they are unbeconnng. I also look well in diamonds; at least so I've been told over and over again, and I've come to believe it at last. I suppose the young men have not concealed from you the fact that you are a strikingly good looking girl, jentie. Indeed, and this is a brag, if yon like, we two resemble one another enough to be sisters, nearly the same height, the saute color of eyes and hair. Come to the mirror, Miss Handsomeness, and admire yourself." She dragged Jennie to her feet and drew her into the room, placing her triumphantly before the great looking glass that reflected back a full length portrait. "Now confess that you never saw a prettier girl," cried the princess glee- fully. "I don't think I ever did," admitted Jennie, but she was looking at . the image of the princess and not at her own. The princess laughed, but Miss Baxter seemed too much affected by the unexpected present to join in the Merri- ment. She regarded herself solemnly in the glass for a few moments, then slowly undid the clasp, and, slipping the string of brilliants from her neck, handed them back to the princess. "You are very, very kind, but I can- not accept so costly a present." "Cannot? Why? Have I offended you by anything I have said since you came?" "Oh, no, not It isn't that," . "What, then? Don't you like me, after all?" "Like you? 1 love you, princess!" cried the girl impulsively, throwing her arms round the other's neck. Tho princess tried to laugh as she pressed Jennie closely to her, bnt there was a tremor of tears in the laughter. "You must take this little gift as a souvenir of your visit with me. I was really—very unhappy when you came, and now—well, you smoothed away some nnsunderstanclings. I'm very grateful. And it isn't natural for a wo- man to refuse diamonds, Jennie." "I know it isn't, and I won't quite refuse them. I'll postpone. It is possi- ble that something I shall do before long may seriously offend yon. If it does, then goodby to the necklace! If it doesn't, when I have told you all about my misdeed—I shall confess conr- ageonsly—you will give me the dia- monds." "Dear me, Jennie, what terrible crime are you about to commit? Why not tell me now? Yon have no idea how you have aroused my curiosity." "I dare not tell you, princess, not until my project proves a success or a failure. We women—some have our way made for us; others have our own Way to make. I an) among the others, and flume yon will remember that, if you are ever angry with me." "Is it a new kind of speculation, a fortune made in a day, gambling?" "Something of that sort I am going to stake a good deal on the turn of a card ; so please pray that luck will not be against me." "If pluck will melee you win, I am sure that you will carry it through, but if at first you don't snceeed, try, try again, and if yon haven't the money supply the capital. I know I should like to gamble. Anyhow, you have my ..10:4 wishes foe your 1411CCOS1." "Thank you, princess. I can hardly fail after that." Thu time had come when the two friends nest part.

In her hand bag was the invitation to the ball, and also the letter she had written in the princess' name, accepting it, which latter she posted in Meran. In due course she reached London and presented berself to the editor of The Daily Bugle. "Well, Miss l3axter," he said, "you have been extraordinarily successful in solving the diamond mystery, and I con- gratulate you. My letter reacbed you, I suppose. Have you given any thought to the problem that now confronts us? 0E21 you get us a full report of the Dateless of Chiselhurst's ball, written so convincingly that all the guests who read it will know that the writer was present?" "It is all a question of money, Mr. Hardwick." "Most things are. Well, we are pre - eared to spend money to get just what we want." "How much?" "Whatever is necessary." "That's vagne. Put it into figures." "Five hundred pounds, 2700, .21,000 if need be." "It will not cost, you £1,000, and it may cow to more than £300. Place 41,000 to my credit, and I shall return what is left. I twist go at once to Paris and carry out my plena from tient city." ''Then yon have thought out a scheme? What is it?" "I have not only thought it out, but most of the arrangements are already made. I cannot say more about it. You will have to trust entirely to me." "There is a good deal of money at stake, Miss Baxter, and our reputation as a newspaper as well. I think I should know what you propose to do." "Certainly. I propose to obtain for you an accurate description of the ball written by one who was present." The editor gave utterance to a sort of interjection that always served him in place of a laugh. "In other words, you want neither interference nor advice." "Exactly, Mr. Hardwick. You know from experience that little good comes of talking too much of a secret project not yet completed," The editor drummed with his fingers on the table for a few moments thought- fully. "Very well, then; it shall be as yon say. I should have been very glad to share the responsibility of failure with you, but if you prefer to take the whole risk yourself there is nothing more to bo said. The thousand pounds shall be placed to your credit at once. What next?" "On the night of the ball I should like you to have three or four expert shorthand writers here. I don't know how many will be necessary. Yon un- derstand more about that than I do. But it is my intention to dictate the report right along as fast as I can talk until it is finished, and I don't wished to be stopped or interrupted; so I want the best stenographers you have. They are to relieve one another just as if they were taking down a parliamentary speech. Tho men had better be in readiness at midnight. I shall be here as soon after that as possible. If yon will kindly run over their typewritten manuscript before it goes to the com- positors, I will glance at the proofs when I have finished dictating." "Then you hope to attend the ball yourself 1" "Perhaps.'' • -24.1114:41";t: 4.v•; .:-.:.'r:Tkj,ts.-•rf-r:'-':-... era k-t.sto-z=7-7-21to.r.A-A.,,,- 7,0004 .feeetWalle- -.....:7•;; t.1 MAQ.." -. :-.•./.-'- ''''t ''''`.<.:.-'5•-::1'SO, .I W, .if', L. ki•-.7„,fie/je...,... ..1025r..17,* ;I/i •••,r/.......:-.2,,,/,‘ 01.4% • ..A• "j': 4.1.-F-1;:.--z.kdnre, i 4L: !'3 -;...

This is no ordinary society from - don, and if you think even £1,000 will gain admittance to an uninvited guest you will find yourself mistaken." "So I understood from your latter." Again the editorial interjection did duty for a 'angle "Yon are very sanguine, Miss Bar- ter. I wish I felt as confident. How- ever, we will hope for the best and, if we cannot command success we will at least endeavor to deserve it." Jennie, with the £1,000 at her dis- posal, went to Paris, took rooms at the most aristocratic hotel, engaged a maid and set about the construction of a ball dress that would be a dream of beauty. Luckily, she knew exactly the gown making resources of Paris, and the craftsmen to whom she gave her orders were not theeeess anxious to please her tvhen they knew that the question of cost was not to be considered. From Paris she telegraphed in the name of the Princess von Steinheimer to Cla- ridge's hotel for an apartment on the night of the ball and asked that a suit- able equipage be provided to convey her to and from that festival. Arriving at Claridge's, she was aware that her first danger was that some one who knew the Princess von Steinheimer would call upon her, but on the valid plea of fatigue from her journey she proclaimed that under no circumstances could site see any visitor, and thus shipwreck was avoided at the outset. It was unlikely that the Princess von Steinheimer was personally known to many who would attend the' ball—in fact, the princess had given to Jennie as her main reason for refusing the in- vitation the excuse that she knew no one in London. She had been invited merely because of the social position of the prince in Vienna and was unknown by sight even to her hostess, the Duchess of Chiselhurst. It is said that a woman, magedficent- ly robed is superior to all earthly trib- ulations. Such was the case with Jen- , •tie as she left her carriage, walked along the strip of carpet which lay eaves the pavement under a canopy • and entered the great hall of the Duko of Chiselhurst's town house, one of the (To be continu('e.)
