JENNIE BESTOWS INFORMATION UPON THE CHIEF OF POLICE. A few minutes after leaving the Treasury building the carriage of the Chief stopped in front of the shop of Herr Feltz in the wide Graubenstrasse.
The great chemist himself waited upon them and conducted them to an inner and private room. "I should be obliged to you if you would tell me the component parts of the mixture in this package," said Jennie, as she handed the filled paper bag to the chemist. "How soon do you wish to know the result ?" asked the man of chemicals. "As soon as possible," replied Jennie. "Could you give me until this hour to-morrow ?" "That will do very nicely," replied Jennie, looking up at the Director of Police, who nodded his head. With that the two took their leave, and once more the Director of Police politely handed the girl into his carriage, and they drove to the Palace Steinheimer.
Here she again thanked him cordially for his attentions during the day.
The Director answered, with equal suavity, that his duty had on this occasion been a pleasure, and asked her permission to call at the same hour the next afternoon and take her to the chemist.
