When Jennie entered the carriage in
which her friend was waiting. the other
cried, "Well, have you seen him?" ap-
parently meaning the director of police.
"No, I did not see him, but I talked
with him over the telephone. I wish
you could have heard our conversation;
it was the funniest interview that I ever
took part in, Two or three times 1 bad
to shut off the instrument, fearing the
director would hear me laugh. I am
afraid that before this business is ended
you will be sorry I am a guest at your
house. I know I shall end by getting
myself into an Austrian prison. Just
think of itI Here have I been 'holding
up' the chief of police in this imperial
city as if I were a wild western brigand.
I have been terrorizing the man, brow-
beating him, threatening him, and he
the person who has the liberty of all
Vienna in his hands, who can have ole
dragged off to a dungeon cell any time
he likes to give the order."
"Not from the Palace Steinheimer,"
said the princess, with decision.
"Well, he might hesitate about that•
yet, nevertheless, it is too funny to
think that a mere newspaper woman,
coming into a city which contains only
one or two of her friends, should dare to
talk to the chief of police as I have done
tonight and force him actually to beg
that I shall remain in the city and con-
tinue to assist him."
"Tell me what you said?" asked the
princess eagerly, and Jennie related all
that bad passed between them over the
telephone.
"And do you mean to tell me that
you are going to give that lean the
right to use all the information you
have acquired, and allow him to accept
complacently all the kudos that such a
discovery entitles you to?"
"Why, certainly," replied Jennie.
"What good is the kudos to nue? All
the credit I desire I get in the office of
The Daily Bugle in Loudon."
"But, you silly girl, holding such a
secret as yon held, you could have made
your fortune," insisted the practical
princess, for the principles which had
been instilled into her during a youth
spent in Chicago bad not been eradicat-
ed by her residence in Vienna. "If you
had gone to the government and said,
'How much will you give me if I re-
store to you the missing gold?' just
imagine what their answer would be."
"Yes, I suppose there was money in
the scheme if it had been really a se-
cret. But you forget that tomorrow
morning the chief of police would have
known as much as he knows tonight.
Of course, if I had gone alone to the
treasury vault and kept my discovery to
myself, I might, perhaps, have 'held
up' the government of Austria-Hungary
as successfully as I 'held up' the chief
.of police tonight. But with the director
watching everything I did, and going
with me to the chemist, there was no
possibility of keeping the matter a se-
cret."
"Well, Jennie, all I can say is that
you are a very foolish girl. Here yon
aro, working hard, as you said in one of
your letters, merely to make a living,
and now, with the greatest nonchalance,
you allow a fortune to slip through your
fingers. Now, I am simply not going to
allow this. I shall tell nay husband all
that has happened, and he shall make
the government treat you honestly, if
not generously. I assure yon, Jennie,
that Lord Donal—no, I won't mention
his name, since you protest so strenn-
ously—but the future young man, who-
ever he is, will not think the less of yon
because you come to him with a hand-
some dowry. But here we are, at home,
and I won't say anotieer word on the 1
subject if it annoys you."
When Jennie reached her delightful
.apartments—which looked even more
luxuriantly comfortable bathed in the
soft light that now flooded then from
.quiet toned shaded lamps than they did
in the more garish light of day—she
walked np and down her sitting room
in deep meditation. She was in a gnan-
•flary. 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 else world
learn the news, she would prefer to wait
until she had further particulars of the
treasury catastrophe. A good deal would
depend on whether the director of police
took any ono into his confidence that

news, If a full account of the discovery
appeared in the next morning's Daily
Bugle, then, when that paper arrived
in Vienna, or even before, if a synopsis
were telegraphed to the government, as
it was morally certain to be, the direct-
or would know at once that she was
he correspondent of the newspaper
whom he was so anxious to frighten out
of Vienna. On the other hand, her
friendship with the Princess von Stein-
heimer gave her such influence with the
chief's superior that after the lesson
she had taught him he might hesitate
to make any move against her. Then,
again, the news that tonight belonged
to two persons might on the morrow
come to the knowledge of all the corre-
spondents in Vienna, and her efforts, as
far as The Bugle was concerned, would
have been in 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 was 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 account was fin-
ished and codified, she went down to
her hostess and said:
NO one can afford to neglect de-
rangements of the kidneys.
The results are too painful and the
risk too great. Some of the symp-
toms are :—Pains in the back and
kegs, gradual loss of flesh, deposits
an the urine, headaches, scanty,
dark -colored urine, painful, scalding
sensations when urinating, dropsical
§welling of ankles and legs, irregu-
larity of the bowels, and gradual
failure of health and strength.

"Princess, I want a trustworthy man,
who will take a long telegram to the
central telegraph office, pay for it, and
come away quickly before any one can
ask him inconvenient questions."
"Would it not be better to call a
dienstmanner 4"
"A dienstmanner? That is your com-
missionnaire or telegraph messenger?
No, I think not. They are all numbered
and can be traced."
"Oh, I know!" cried the princess. "I
will send our coachman. He will be out
of his livery now, and he is a most re-
liable man; he will not answer incon-
venient questions or any others, even if
they are asked."
To her telegram for publication Jen-
nie had added a private dispatch to the
editor that it would be rather inconven-
ient for her if he published the account

next morning, but she left the decision
entirely with him. Here was the news,
and if he thought it worth the risk he
might hold it over; if not, he was to
print it regardless of consequences.
As a matter of fact, the editor, with
fear and treaubling, held the news for a
day, so that he might not embarrass his
fair representative, but so anxious was
he that he sat np all night until the oth-
er papers were out, and he heaved a
sigh of relief when, on glancing over
them, he found that not one of them
contained an inkling of the information
locked up in his desk. And so he drop-
ped off to sleep when the day was break-
ing. Next night he had nearly as much
anxiety, for, although The Bugle would
contain the news, other papers might
have it as well, and so for the second
time he waited in his office until the
other sheets, wet from the press, were
brought to him. Again fortune favored
him, and the triumph belonged to The
Bugle alone.
Tho morning after her interview with
the director of police Jennie, taking a
small hand satchel, in which she placed
the various bottles containing the dif-
ferent dusts which the chemist had sep-
arated, went abroad alone and, hailing
a fiacre, gave the driver the address of
Professor Carl Seigfried. The carriage
of the princess was always at the dis-
posal of the girl, but on this occasion
she did not wish to be embarrassed with
.so pretentious an equipage.
The cab took her into a street lined
with tall edifices and left her at the
number she bad given the driver. The
building seemed to be one let out in
flats and tenements. She mounted stair
after stair, and only at the very top did
she see the professor's name painted on
a door. Hero she rapped several times
without any attention being paid to her
summons, but at last the door was
opened partially, by a man whom she
took, (mite ncenrately, to be the pro-
fessor himself. His head was white and
his face deeply wrinkled. He glared at
her through his glasses and said to her:
"Young lady, you have made a mis-
take. These are the rooms of Professor
Carl Seigfried."
It is Professor Carl Seigfried that I bottle—the bottle—in the cupboard bo

power has had,"
"Ah, dynamite is a toy for chil-
dren!" cried the old man, opening the
door a little farther, exhibiting an inter-
est which had up to that moment been
absent from his planner. "Well, whero
did this explosion take place? Do you
wish me to go and see it?"
"Perhaps, later on. At present I wish
to show you some of its effects, but I
don't propose to do so here in the pas-
sageway."
"Quite right, quite right," hastily
ejaculated the old scientist, throwing
the door wide open. "Of course I am
not accustomed to visits from fashion-
able yonng ladies, and I thought at first
there bad been a mistake, but if you
have any real scientific problem I shall
be delighted to give my attention to it.
What may appear very extraordinary to
the lay mind will doubtless prove fully
explainable by scientists. Come in,
come int"
Tho old elan shut the door behind
her and led her along a dark passage
into a large apartment, whose ceiling
was the roof of the building. At first
sight it seemed in amazing disorder.
Huge as it was, it was cluttered with
curious shaped machines and instru-
ments. A twisted conglomeration of
glass tubing, bent into fantastic tangles,
stood on a central table and had evi-
dently been occupying the professor's
attention at the time he was interrupt-
ed. The place was lined with shelving
where the walls were not occupied with
cupboards, and every shelf was burden-
ed with bottles and apparatus of differ-
ent kinds. Whatever care Professor
Seigfried took of his apparatus, he
seemed to have little for his furniture.
There was hardly a decent chair in the
place, except one deep armchair, cov-
ered with a tiger's skin, in which the
professor evidently took his ease while
meditating or watching the progress of
an experiment. This chair he did not
offer to the young lady—in fact, he did
not offer her a chair at all, but sank
down on the tiger's skin himself, placed
the tips of his fingers together and
glared at her through his glittering
glasses.
"Now, young woman," he said
sharply, "what have you brought for
me? Don't begin to chatter now, for
my time is valuable. Show me what
you have brought, and I will tell yon
all about it, and most likely a very
simple thing it is."
Jennie, interested in so rude a man,
smiled, drew up the least decrepit chair
she could find andosat down, in spite of
the angry mutterings of her irritated
host. Then she opened her satchel, took
out the small bottle of gold and handed
it to him without a word. The old man
took it somewhat contemptuously, shook
it backward and forward without taking
out the cork, adjusted his glasses, then
suddenly seemed to take a nervous in-
terest in the material presented to him.
He rose and went nearer the light.
Drawing out the cork with trembling
hands, he poured some of the contents
into his open palm. The result was
startling enough. The old man flung np
his bands, letting the vial crash. into a
thousand pieces on the floor. He stag-
gered forward, shrieking, "Ah, mein
Gott—mein Gott!"
Then, to the consternation of Jennie,
who had already risen in terror from
her chair, the old man plunged forward
on his face. Jennie bad difiicnity in re-
pressing a shriek. She looked round
hurriedly for a bell to ring, but there
evidently was none. She tried to open
the door and cry for help, but in her

One week's Use of Hyomei Did afore Than
Six Month's Treatment by Specialists.
In the treatment of deafness which is
often a result of catarrh, Hyomei nets
almost immediately upon the inflamed
membrane and the hearing begins to re-
turn at once.
Miss Meeks of Mattewan, N. Y., says:
"Hyomei is truly wonderful. I have
used it but a short time and see a great
change in my condition. My hearing is
improving rapidly and I had no idea I
would improve so rapidly in so short a
time. My breatn which was very (Alen.
sive to myself and others, has lost its
bad odor entirely. I have spent a great
deal of money with catarrh specialists,
and can truly say that six months of
their treatment is not worth one month
of Hyomei."
A complete outfit costs but $1, and
consists of an inhaler that can be carried
iu the vest pocket, a medicine dropper,
and a bottle of Hyomei. The inhaler
will last a lifetime and there is enough
Hyomei for several weeks' treatment.
Additional bottles of Hyomei can be
procured for 50 cents. Compare this
small expense with the fees charged by
specialists.

dealer, it will be forwarded by mail,

excitement could find neither handle
nor latch. It seemed to be locked, and
the key, doubtless, was in the professor's
pocket. She thought at first that be had
dropped dead, but the continuing moans
as he lay on the floor convinced her ttt
her error. She bent over him anxiously
and cried, "What can I do to help

shook himself free, crying angrily : "Let
ole alone! Don't you see I am all right
again?"
The girl stood aside, and the professor
dropped into his chair, his nervous
hands vibrating on bis knees. For a
long interval nothing was said by ei-
ther, and the girl at last seated herself
in the chair she had formerly occupied.
The first words the old man spoke were.
"Who sent you here?"
"No one. I cane of my own accord.
I wished to meet some one who had a
large knowledge of explosives, and Herr
Feltz, the chemist, gave me your ad-
dress."
"Herr Feltz! Herr Feltz!" he repeat-
ed. "So he sent you here 4"
"No one sent use here," insisted the
girl. "It is as I tell you. Herr Feltz
merely gave me your address."
"Where did you get that powdered
gold ?"
"It came from the debris of an ex-
plosion."
"I know; you said that before.
Where was the explosion? Who caused
it?"
"That I don't know."
"Don't you know where the explosion
was?"
"Yes, I know where the explosion
was, but I don't know who caused it."
"Who sent you here?"
"I tell you no one sent me here."
"That is not true. The man who
caused the explosion sent you here. Yon

are his minion. What do you expect to
find out from me?"
"I expect to learn what explosive was
used to produce the result that seemed
to have such a remarkable effect on
you."
"Why do you say that? It had no
effect on me. My heart is weak. I am

subject to Foch attacks, and I ward
them off with brandy. Some day they
will kill me. Then you won't learn any
secrets from a dead man, will yon?"
"I hope, Professor Seigfried, that yon
have many years yet to live, and I must
further add that I did not expect such
a reception as I have received from a
man of science, as I was told you were.
If you have no information to give to
me—very well, that ends it; all yon
have to do is to say so."
"Who sent you here?"
"No one, as I have repeated once or
twice. It any one had, I would give
'tinnily opinion of him when I got back.
You refnse to tell me anything about
the. explosive that powdered that gold?"
"Refuse? Of course I refusel What

He waved his thin, emaciated hand
in the air as he spoke.
"Oh, that doesn't matter in the
least," said Jennie. "I have several
other bottles here in my satchel."
The professor placed his hands on the
arms of his chair and slowly raised him-
self to his feet.
"You have others," he cried, "other
bottles? Let me see them—let me see
them!"
"No," replied Jennie, "I won't."
With a speed which, after his recent
collapse, Jennie had not expected, the
professor ambled round to the door and
placed his hack against it. The glasses
over his eyes seemed to sparkle as if
with fire. His talonlike fingers crooked
rigidly. He breathed rapidly and was
evidently laboring under tense excite-
ment.
"Who knows you came op to see
me?" he whispered hoarsely, glaring at
her.
Jennie, having arisen, stood there,
smoothing down her perfectly fitting
glove and answered with a calmness she -.
was far from feeling.
"Who knows I am here? No one but
the director of police."
"Oh, the director of police!" echoed
the professor, quite evidently abashed
by the information. The rigidity of his
attitude relaxed, and he became once
more the old man he had appeared as
he sat in a heap in his chair. "You
will excuse ole," he mattered, edging
round toward his chair again, "I was
excited."
"I noticed that you were, professor.
But before yon sit down again please
unlock that door."
"Why?" ho asked, pausing
way to the chair.
"Because I wish it open."
"And I," he said in a higher tone,,
"wish it to refrain locked until we have
come to some understanding. I can't let
you go out now, but I shall permit yon
to go unmolested as soon as you have
made some explanation to foe."
"If you do not unlock the door im-
mediately, I shall take this machine
and fling it through the.front window
out on the street. The crashing glass on
the pavement will soon bring some one
to my rescue, professor, and, as I have
a voice of my own and small hesitation
about shouting I shall have little diffi-
culty in directing the strangers where
to come."
As Jennie spoke she moved swiftly to-
ward the table on which stood the
strange aggregation of reflectors and
bent glass tubing.
"No, 110, no I" screamed the pro-
fessor, springing between her and the
table. "Touch anything but that—any-
thing but that! Do not disturb it an
inch—there is danger—death not only
to you and me, but perhaps to the
whole city. Beep away from it 1"
"Very well, then," said Jennie, step-
ping back in spite of her endeavor to
sustain her self control, "open the door.
Open both doors and leave them so.
After that, if you refrain seated in your
chair, I shall not touch the machine,
nor shall I leave until I make the ex-
planations you require and you have
answered some questions that I shall
ask. But I must have a clear way to the
stair in case you should become ex-
cited again."
"I'II unlock the doors. I'll unlock
both doors," replied the old man tremu-
lously, fumbling abort his pockets for
his keys. "But keep away from that
machine unless yon want to bring
swift destruction on us all."
With an eagerness that retarded his
speed the professor, constantly looking
j over his shoulder at his visitor, unlock-
; ed the first door; then hastily he flung
open the second and tottered back to his
chair, where he collapsed on the tiger
skin, trembling and exhausted.
"We maybe overheard," he whined,
"One can never tell who may sneak
quietly up the stair. I ant surrounded
by spies trying to find out what I am
doing."
"Wait a moment," said Jennie.
She went quickly to the outer door,
found that it closed with a spring latch,
opened and shut it two or three times
until she was perfectly familiar with its
workings; then she closed it, drew the
inner floor nearly shut and sat down.
"There," she said, "we are quite
cafe from interruption, Professor Seig-
fried, but 1 must request you not to
move from your chair. "
"I have no intention of doing so,"
murmured the old man. "Who sent
you? You said you world tell inc. I
think you owe me an explanation."
"I think you owe me one," replied
time girl. "As I told sou before, no one
sent me. I came here entirely of my
own accord, and I shall endeavor to
make clear to you exactly why I eanie.

"Where? When?" exclaimed the old
man, placing his hands on the arms of
his chair, as if he would rise to his feet.
"Sit where you are," said Jennie
firmly, "and I shall tell, you all I can
abort it. The government, for reasons
of its own, desires to keep the fact of
this explosion a secret, and so very few
people outside of official circles know
anything about it. I am trying to dis-
cover the cause of that disaster."
"Ase. yon—are you working on be-
half of the government?" asked the old
man eagerly, a tremor of fear in his
quavering voice.
"No; I am conducting my investiga-
tions quite independently of the govern-
ment."
"But why? But why? That is what
I don't understand."
"I would very much rather not an-
swer that question."
"But that question—everything is
involved in that question. I must know
why you are here. If you are not in the
employ of the government, in whose
employ are you?"
"If I tell you," said Jennie, with
some hesitation, "will you keep what I
say a secret?"
"Yes, yes, yesl" cried the scientist
impatiently.
"Well. I am in the service of a Lon-
don daily newspaper. "
"I see, I see, and they have sent yon
here to publish broadcast over the world
all you can find ont of my doings. I
knew you were a spy the moment I saw
yon. I should never have let you in. "
"My dear sir, the London paper is
not aware of yonr existence even. They
have not sent me to you at all. They
have sent me to Learn, if possible, the
cause of the explosion I spoke of. I took
some of the debris to Herr Feltz to
analyze it, and he said he had never
seen gold, iron, feldspar, and all that,
reduced to such fine impalpable grains
as was the case with the sample 1 left
with him. I then asked him who in
Vienna knew most about explosives,
and he gave me your address. That is
why I am here."
{"Bot the explosion --yon have not
