This consideration decided the girl, and, casting off all sign of hesitation, she sat down at her writing 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 discovery." Beginning thus, she went on to details of the discovery she had that day made.

When her account was finished and codified, she went down to her hostess and said,-- "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 anyone can ask him inconvenient questions." "Would it not be better to call a Dienstmanner ?" "A Dienstmanner?
That is your commissionaire, 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 reliable man; he will not answer inconvenient questions, or any others, even if they are asked." To her telegram for publication Jennie had added a private despatch to the editor, stating that it would be rather inconvenient for her if he published the account next morning, but she left the decision entirely with him.
