JENNIE BECOMES A SPECIAL POLICE OFFICER.
When Jennie returned to Vienna, and was once more installed in her luxurious rooms at the Palace Steinheimer, she received in due time a copy of the _Daily Bugle_, sent to her under cover as a registered letter.

The girl could not complain that the editor had failed to make the most of the news she had sent him.

As she opened out the paper she saw the great black headlines that extended across two columns, and the news itself dated not from Venice, but from Vienna, was in type much larger than that ordinarily used in the paper, and was double-leaded.
The headings were startling enough:-- PHANTOM GOLD.
THE MOST GIGANTIC ROBBERY OF MODERN TIMES.
THE AUSTRIAN WAR CHEST DYNAMITED.
TWENTY MILLION POUNDS IN COIN LOOTED.
APPALLING DISASTER AT THE TREASURY IN VIENNA.
FOUR MEN KILLED, AND SIXTEEN OTHERS MORE OR LESS SERIOUSLY INJURED.
"Dear me!" the Princess cried, peering over Jennie's shoulder at these amazing headings, "how like home that looks.

The _Bugle_ doesn't at all resemble a London journal; it reminds me of a Chicago paper's account of a baseball match; a baseball match when Chicago was winning, of course, and when Anson had lined out the ball from the plate to the lake front, and brought three men in on a home run at a critical point in the game." "Good gracious!" cried Jennie, "what language are you speaking?
Is it slang, or some foreign tongue ?" "It is pure Chicagoese, Jennie, into which I occasionally lapse even here in prim Vienna.
