"I should suppose so, but if not, he will certainly be able to tell you who the best man is in that line." The Director ordered one of the soldiers who accompanied him to find a small paper bag, and fill it with some dust from the treasure chamber. When this was done, he handed the package to Jennie, who said, "I shall go at once and see Herr Feltz." "My carriage is at your disposal, madame."
He was about to speak, but the Princess went impetuously on. "Is the Director of Police a friend of yours, Herr Feltz? I don't mean merely an official friend, but a personal friend?" "I am under many obligations to him, your Highness, and besides that, like any other citizen of Vienna, I am compelled to obey him when he commands."
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 will leave for you at the office here the analysis made by Herr Feltz, and if I can assist you further, it must be on the distinct understanding that you are not to interfere again with whatever I may do. Your conduct in going to Herr Feltz to-night after you had left me, and commanding him not to give me any information, I should hesitate to characterize by its right name.
The Prince is dining at his club to-night with some friends, so I shall order the carriage, and you and I will roam round together. You will let me come, won't you? Where are you going?" "I am going to the Graubenstrasse to see Herr Feltz." "Oh, I know Herr Feltz, and a dear old man he is; he will do anything for me. If you want a favour from Herr Feltz, you had better take me with you."
He said Hank had got into a ruction with Dick Feltz you recollect there was considerable feeling between them in our time down there and killed him one day at Fort Worth. Feltz had some folks that took it up, and Hank had to spend a barrel of money to come clear. That, and a range war that grew out of the killing, and some kind of a business deal just about broke them.
"My carriage is at the door," persisted the Director, "and I will instruct the driver to take you directly to the shop of Herr Feltz; then no time will be lost, and I think if I am with you, you will be more sure of attention from the chemist, who is a very busy man." Jennie saw the Director did not wish to let her out of his sight, and although she smiled at his suspicion, she answered politely,
I wished to meet someone who had a large knowledge of explosives, and Herr Feltz, the chemist, gave me your address." "Herr Feltz! Herr Feltz!" he repeated. "So he sent you here?" "No one sent me 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 débris of an explosion." "I know, you said that before.
"Very well, Herr Feltz, I shall ask you a question or two of which you will not be so frightened. I have told my friend here that you would do anything for me, but I see I have been mistaken." The chemist made a deprecatory motion of his hands, spreading them out and bowing. It was plainly apparent that his seeming discourtesy caused him deep regret.
"My dear sir, the London paper is not even aware of your existence. 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 débris 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 I left with him.
