At 9 o'clock the long truin r'81110 to a -standstill, 17 minutes late. at Lnga. foul ample time rn8 AMMO for a leisurely breakfast in the buffet of the Stntion. Jennie found n small table and sat 'down beside it, ordering coffee and rolls from the waiter who came to serve her. Lookii round at the coinnopolittin com- pany and listening to the many Jan- gnages whose clash gave a babel air to the restaurant, Jennie fell to musing on the strange experiences she had encoun- tered since leaving London. It seemed to her she had been taking part in some ghastly nightmare, and she shuddered as she thought of the lawlessness, under cover of law, of this great and despotic empire, where even 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 seera- ed to be suffocating her, then looked up and saw Lord Donal Stirlipg, in the or• dinary everyday dress of an English gentleman, as well groomed as if he had come, not from a train, but from his awn house. There was a kindly smile an his lips and a sparkle in his oyes, but his face was of ghastly pallor. "Ob, Lord Donal!" she cried, regard- ing him with eyes of wonder and fear. "What is wrong with yon" "Nothing," the young man replied 'with an attempt at a laugh, "nothing, notC-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 I sit down?" He dropped into a chair on the other side 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," interjected Jennie in French, "bring two breakfasts. I sup- pose it was not your breakfast that you •ordered just now, Lord Donal?" "I have ordered my breakfast," he :said. "Still, it pleads in my favor that I do not carry brandy with me, as I .ought to do, and so must drink the vile stuff they can their best here." "You should eat as well," she insist - •ed, taking charge of him, as if she had • every right to do so. "All shall be as yon say, now that I have found you, but don't be surprised if I have but little appetite." "What is the matter?" she asked .breathlessly. "You certainly look very ill." "I have been drugged and robbed," be replied, lowering his voice. "I - imagine I came to close quarters with "21.1t, lost princess!" .death itself. I havo spent a night in lades and this morning am barely able to stagger, but the sight of you, prin- cess— Ah, well, I feel once more that I belong to the land of the living!" "Please do not call me princess," said the girl, looking down at the table- cloth. "Then what am I to call you, prin- . eess?" "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. Nervous Exhaustion TWITCHING of the nerves, sud- den starting, tenderness of the scalp or spine, headache at top or back of head, noises in the ears, sparks before the eyes, sleepless-, ness, dyspepsia, pains and cramps, neuralgia, timidity, irritability, mel- ancholy, physical weakness and general debility are among the symptoms of nervous exhaustion. Good food, pure air, suitable rest and the regular and persisent use of Dr. Chase's Nerve rood will thor- oughly overcome the most extreme case of nervous exhaustion and prostration.

THE WENGHAM !Mom. TOW. FEBRUARY He leaned back in his chair and said: "Well, this is not such a bad world, after all. To think of meeting you here in Aussiat Have yQU, been in St. Peters- burg, then?" "Yee. I am a newspaper woman," explained Jennie hurriedly. "Whon you met zue before, I wae there surrepti- tiously, fraudulently, if you like. I was there to—to write a report of it for my paper. I can never thank you enough, Lord Dona], for your kindness to nue 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 I rendered to Ng. Yon knew my address and etiquetV •Igemand- ed that you should make you. leknowl- edgments. " "I was reluctant to write," mid Jen- nie, a smile hovering round her lips, "fearing my letter might act as a clew. I had no wish to interfere with the le- gitimate business of Mr. Cadbury Tay- lor." "Great heavens!" cried the young man. "How came you to know about that? But of course the Princess von Steinbeimer told . you of it. She wrote to me charging me with all sorts of wickednesses for endeavoring to find • I "No, Lord Donal I dM not learn it from her. In fact, if yon had openee the door of the inner room at Mr. Cad- bury Taylor's a little quicker, you would have come upon me, for I was the assistant who tried te persuade him that you really met the Princess von Steinheimer." Lord Donal for the first time latigh- ed heartily. "Well, if that doesn't beat all! And / suppose Cadbury Taylor hasn't the slightest suspicion that you are the per- son he was looking for?" "No, not the slightest." "I say, that is the best joke I have heard in ten years," said Lord Donal, and here, breakfast arriving, Jennie gave him his directions. "Yon are to drink a small portion of that brandy," she said, "and then put the rest in your coffee. Yon must eat a good breakfast, and that will help you to forget your troubles—that is, if you have any real troubles." "Oh, my troubles are real enough!" said the young man. "When I met ydu before, princess, I was reasonably suc- cessful. We even talked about einbassa- dorships, didn't we, in spite of the fact that embassadors were making them- selves unnecessarily obtrusive that night? Now you see before you a ruined man. No; I am not joking. It is true. I was given a cornmission, or, rather, knowing the danger there was in it, I begged that the commission might be given me. It was merely to take a letter from St. Petersburg to London. I havo failed, and when that is said all is said." "But surely," said the girl, "you could not be expected to ward off such lawless robbery as you have been the victim of?" "That is just what I expected and what I supposed I could ward off. In my profession, which, after all, bas a great similarity to yours, except that I think we have to do more lying in ours, there must be no such word as fail. The very best excuses are listened to with toler- ance, perhaps, and a shrug of the shoul- ders, but failure, no matter from what cause, is fell doom. I have failed. I shall not make any excuses. I will go to London and say merely, 'The Russian police have robbed me.' Oh, I know perfectly who did the trick and how it was done. Then I shall send in my res- ignation. They will accept it, with po- lite words of regret, and will say to each other: 'Poor fellow 1 He hada bril- liant career before him, but he got drunk, or something, and fell. in the ditch.' Ab, well, we won't talk any more about it 1" Awn: about it "Then you don't despise the newspa- per profession, Lord Donal?" "Despise it! Bless you, no 1 I look up to it, belonging myself to a profession very much lower down in the scale of morality, its I havo said. But, prin- eess," he added, leaning toward her, "will you resign from the newspaper if I resign from diplomacy?" The girl slowly shook her head, her eyes on the tablecloth before her. "I will telegraph my resignation," he said impetuously, "if you will tele- graph yours to your paper." "You are feeling ill and worried this morning, Lord Donal, and so you take a pessimistic view of life. You must not resign." "Oh, but I must! I have failed, and that is enough." "It isn't enough. Yon must do noth- ing until you reach London." "I like your word must, Jennie," said the young man audaciously. "It implies something, you know." "What does it imply, Lord Donal" she asked, glancing up at him. "It implies that yon are going to leave the 'Lord' off my name." "That wouldn't be very difficult," re- plied Jennie. "I am delighted to bear you say so," exclaimed his lordship, "and, now that I may know how it sounds from your dear lips, call me Don." "No; if I ever consented to omit the title, I should call you Donal. I like the name in its entirety." ge reached his hand across the table. "Are you willing, then, to accept a man at the very lowest ebb of his for- tunes? I know that if I were of the mold that heroes are matte of X would I hesitate to proffer you a blighted life. But I loved yon the moment 1 saw you, and, remembering my fruitless search for you, I cannot run the risk of losing you again. I have not the courage." She placed her hand in his and looked him for the first time squarely in the oyes. "Are yon sure, Donal," she said, . "that I am not a mere effigy on which you are hanging the wornont garments of a past affection! Yon thought X was the ptinme at first." "No I didn't," he protested, "As mon as I heard you speak I knew you were the one X was destined to meet." "Ah, Donal, Donal, at lover's per- juries they say Jovo laughs! I don't think you were quite so certain as all that. But I, too, am a coward, and I dare not refuse you." "What an unholy spot for a pro- posal," he whispered, "and yet they call Russia the Great Lone Land. Ob, that we had a portion of it entirely to ourselves." The girl sat there, a smile on her pretty lips that Lord Donal thought most tantalizing. A railway official an- nounced in a loud voice that the train was about to resume its journey. There was a general shuffling of feet as the passengers rose to take their places. "Brothers and sisters kiss each oth- er, you know, on the eve of a railway journey," said Lord Donal, taking ad- vantage of the confusion. Jennie Baxter made no protest. "There is plenty of time," lie whis- pered. "I know the leisurely nature of Russian trains. Now I am going to the telegraph office to send in nly resigna- tion, and I want you to come with 2118 and send in yours." s' Lord Donal," said the girt n't you going to resigni" he askedsurprise. "Yes, all in good time; but you are mete " "Oh, I say," he 'cried, "it is really Imperative! I'll tell you all about it when we get on the train." "It is really imperative that you should not send in your resignation. In- deed, Donal, you need not look at 1310 with that surprised air. You may as well get accustomed to dictation at once. You did it yourself, you know. Yon can't say that I encouraged you. I eluded the vigilant Cadbury Taylor as long as I could. But, if there is time, go to the telegraph office and send a message to the real princess, Palace Steinheimer, Vienna. Say you are en- gaged 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 go into the sleep- ing car and get nay rugs and hand bag." "I'll go for them," he cried impetu- ously. "Oh, nol" she said. "I'll tell yon why later. The conductor is a villain and was in collusion with the police." "Oh, I know that 1" said Lord Donal. "Poor devil! He can't 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 , is still time, and I don't want the con- ductor to see us together." "Very well," said the young man, with exemplary obedience. When the train started, they were seated together in a far forward car- t riage. "One of my failings," said the girl, "is that I act first and think afterward. I am sorry now that I asked you to send that telegram to the princess." "Why 2" "Because I have a great deal to tell you, and perhaps yon will wish to with- draw from the rash engagement you have undertaken." "A likely thing!" cried the ardent lover. "Indeed, Miss Princess, if you think you can get rid of mo SQ easily as all that, you are mistaken." • "Well, I want to tell you why I did • pot 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 vis- ible. Lord Donal's eyes opened to their widest capacity, and his breath seemed to stop. "Great heavens!" he gasped at last. "Do you .aean to say you have it?" "Yes," she said, buttoning up her jacket again. "I robbed the robbers. Listen, and I will tell you all that hap- pened. But, first, are you armed?" "Yes," he replied; "I have a trump- ery revolver in my pocket. Little good it did me last night." "Very well; we shall be across the frontier by noon today.

The police will hesitate, however, before interfering with a m05 - tenger from the embassy or any one in his charge in broad daylight on a crowded train. We will not go back in- to that car, bnt stay here, where some of our fellow countrymen are." "That is what I was going to pro- pose," said Jennie. "And now listeh to the story I have to tell you, and then you will know exactly why I came to Russia." "Don't tell me anything you would rather not," said the young man hur• riedly. "I would rather not, but it must be told," answered the girl. The story lasted a long time, and when it was ended the young man cried enthusiastically in answer to her ques- tion : "Blame you? Why, of course I don't blame you in the slightest. It wasn't Hardwick who sent you here at all, but Providence. Providence brought ns to- gether, Jennie, and my belief in it hereafter will be unshaken." Jennie laughed a contented little laugh and said she was flattered on be- ing considered an envoy of Providence. "It is only anotheg way of saying your are an angel, Jennie," remarked the bold young man. They crossed the frontier without in- terference, and, once in Germany, Jen- nie took the object of so much conten- tion and placed it in the hands of her lover. • ! "There," she whiepered, +with a tiny I sigh, for she WW1 giviog up the frnits of her greatest achievement; "put that in your diepatch box and see that it doesn't leave there until yon reach Lon- don. I hope the RAISSinlIS will like the copy of The Daily Bugle they find in their envelope." The telegram of the princess was handed to Lord Donut et Berlin. "1 congratulate you nmst Fincerely," she Wired, "and tell Jeanie the next time you see her"—Lord Donal laughed as he read this ulontl--"that the Anstrian government has awarded her R30,000 for her share in enabling them to re- eover their gold. and little enough I think it is, -considering what she has done." I call that downright band- osome of the Atietr,len government,'' said Lord Donal. "1 ti ,tight they were going to fight us when I read the speech of their prime minister; but. instead of that, they are making wedding presente to our nice girls." "Ab, that comes throngh the geed 22 i906 • heartedness of the princess and the. kindness of the prince." said Jennie. "Ile has managed it." "But what in the world did you do for the Auetrian government, Jennie?" "That is a long story, Donal, and I think a most interesting one." "Well, let us thank heaven that we have a long journey for you to tell it and 1110 to listen." And, saying this, the unabashed, for- ward young man took the liberty of kissing his fair companion good night right there amid all the turmoil and bustle of the Schlesischer Bahnhof in It Berlin. was early in the morning when the two met again in the restaurant car. It was quite evident that Jennie bad slept well, and, youth being on her side, her rest bad compensated for the night- mare of the Russian journey. She wan simply but very effectively dressed and looked as fresh and pretty and cool and sweet as a snowdrop. The enchanted young man found it impossible to lure his eyes away from her, and when, with a little laugh, Jenuie protested that ho was missing all the fine scenery he an- swered that he had something much more beautiful to look upon, whereat Jennie blushed most enticingly, smiled • at him, but made no further protest. Whether it was his joy in meeting Jen- nie, or the result of his night's sleep, or his relief at finding that his career was riot wrecked, as he had imagined, or all three together, Lord Donal seemed his old self again and was as bright, witty and cheerful as a boy home for the holi- days. They enjoyed their breakfasts with the relish that youth and a healthy appetite give to a dainty meal well served. The rolls were brown and tooth - 801118; the butter, in thick corrugated spirals, was of a delicious golden color. cool and crisp;. The coffee was all that coffee should be, and the waiter was silent and at- tentive. Russia, like an evil vision, was far behind, and the train sped through the splendid scenery swiftly to- ward England and home. The young man leaned buck in his chair, interlaced his fingers behind his head and gazed across at Jennie, draw- ing a sigh of deep satisfaction. "Well, this is jolly," he said. "Yes," murmured Jennie, "it's very nice. I always did enjoy foreign travel, especially when it can be done in luxury; but, alas, luxury costs money. doesn't itt'' "Ola you don't need to mind! You are"Thatri cli. "is true. I had forgotten all about it." "I hope, Jennie, that the fact of nit, traveling on a train de luxe has not de- luded you regarding niy wealth. I should have told you that I usually travel third class when I am transport- ing myself in may private capacity. I am wringing this pampered elegance from the reluctant pockets of the Brit- ish taxpayer. When I travelfor British government, I say, as Pooh Bah said to Koko in 'The Mikado, "Do it well, my boy,' cx words to that effect." "Indeed," laughed Jennie, "I am in a somewhat similar situation—the news- paper is paying all the expense of this trip, but I shall insist on returning the money to The Bugle now that I have failed in my miseion." "Dear me, bow Dutch more honest the newspaper business is than diplomacy! The idea of returning any money never even occurred to me. The mere sugges- tion freezes my young blood. and makes each particular hair to stand on end like quills of the fretful porcupine. Our motto in the service is, 'Get all you can and keep all you get.' " "But, then, yon see, your case is dif- ferent from mine. You did your best to succeed, and I failed throngh my own choice, and hors I sit here a traitor to my paper." "Well, Jennie," said the yonng man, picking up the dispatch box, which he never allowed to leave his sight, and, placing it on the table, "you've only to say the word, and this contentious let- ter is in your possession again. Do yon regret your generosity 2" "Oh, no, no, no, nol I would not have it back on any account. Even look- ing at the matter in the most material- istic way, success means far more to you than it does to me. As you say, I am rick; therefore I ani going te give up my nowsliaper career. I suppose that is why women very rarely make great successes of their lives. A woman's ca- reer so often is merely of incidental in- terest to her; a man's career is his whole life." "What a pity it is," mused the young man, "that one person's success generally means another person's fail- ure 1 If I were the generous, whole Foul- ed person I sometimes imagine myself to be, I should refuse to accept success as the price of your failure. Yon have actually secceeded, while I have actual- ly failed. With a generosity that makes me feel small and mean, you hand over your success to me, and I selfishly ac- ceut it. But I compound with my city, gelence in this way. Yon and I are° be married; then we will be one. That one shall be heir to all the successes of each of us and ebail disclaim all the failures of each. Isn't that a good idea?" "Excellent," replied Jennie. "Never- theless I cannot help feeling just a lit- tle sorry for poor Mr. Hardwick." "Who is he—the editor?" "Yes. He did have such fa4th in me that it seems almost a pity to disap- point him." "You nitistn't trouble your mind About Hardwick. Don't think of him at all. Think of me instead." "1 ant afraid I do and have done for some time past.

"Of conm'se not," answered that plan cmickly. "What was I thinking about? It will be a family meeting, and we don't want any outsiders about, do we?" Jennie laughed, but made no reply. They had a smooth and speedy pas - sago across from Calais to Dover, and the train drew in at Charing Cross sta- tion exactly on time.
