If you want to do a favour to a good friend of yours, and at the same time confer a benefit upon the Government itself, you will advise the Government to secure the services of Herr Feltz, so that the gold may be extracted from the rubbish completely and effectually. I put in a word for Herr Feltz, because I am convinced that he is a most competent man.
I suppose he visited you again within the hour after he left with this young lady is that the case, Herr Feltz?" "Your Highness distresses me by asking questions that I am under pledge not to answer." "Is the analysis completed?" "That is another question which I sincerely hope your Highness will not press."
"It really doesn't make pleasant telling, but you'll understand better than some one that didn't know the country. You remember Dick Feltz, and that old trouble about the Conway brand that dad bought a long time back?" I nodded; I remembered Mr. Feltz very well indeed, for the well-merited killing of one of his hired assassins was the main cause of my hasty departure from Texas.
"I would like to take it with me now," said Jennie. "I have curiosity to know exactly of what it is composed. Who is the Government analyst? or have you such an official?" "Herr Feltz, in the Graubenstrasse, is a famous analytical chemist; you cannot do better than go to him." "Do you think he knows anything about explosives?"
A glance at the card dissolved the man's doubts, and he departed to seek his master. "He is working at the analysis now, I'll warrant," whispered the Princess to her companion. In a short time Herr Feltz himself appeared.
"Well, it came to a head, one day, in Fort Worth. They shot each other up terribly, and a week or so later Feltz died. His people in the East got it into their heads that it was a case of murder. They stirred up the county authorities till every one was taking sides. Of course, dad was cleared; but that seemed to be the beginning of a steady run of bad luck.
"I would further add," continued the chemist, "that I have never met gold so finely divided as this is." "Have you the gold and other ingredients separated?" "Yes, madame." "I shall take them with me, if you please." The chemist shortly after brought her the components, in little glass vials, labelled. "Have you any idea, Herr Feltz, what explosive would reduce gold to such fine powder as this?"
With that the Princess ran away and presently reappeared with her wraps on. The two drove to the shop of Herr Feltz in the Graubenstrasse, and were told that the chemist could not be seen in any circumstances. He had left orders that he was not to be disturbed. "Disobey those orders and take in my card," said the Princess.
The trial cost an awful lot of money, and made enemies, too. Feltz had plenty of friends of his own calibre you know that to your sorrow, don't you, Sarge? and they started trouble on the range. It was simply terrible for a while. Dad can supply the details when he comes."
