To this Jennie assented, and cheerily bade him good-evening.

The Princess was waiting for her, wild with curiosity to know what had happened.
"Oh, Jennie!" she cried, "who fired the mine, and who robbed the Government ?" Jennie laughed merrily as she replied,-- "Dear Princess, what a compliment you are paying me! Do you think that in one afternoon I am able to solve a mystery that has defied the combined talents of all the best detectives in Austria?
I wish the Director of Police had such faith in me as you have." "And hasn't he, Jennie ?" "Indeed he has not.

He watched me every moment he was with me, as if he feared I would disappear into thin air, as the treasure had done." "The horrid man.

I shall have my husband speak to him, and rid you of this annoyance." "Oh, no, Princess, you mustn't do anything of the kind.

I don't mind it in the least; in fact, it rather amuses me.
