But let me point out to you that this
will be a serious error of Judgment. /
have not come here without safeguards
ing my movements. You are aware
that Captain Gaultier, a trusted For
eign Officer messenger. brought me here
In person. Some members of the British
government, n several important Of
f1cials of Scotland Yard know that /
sm In your house and discussing this
matter with you. If any accident inter
feres with my future movements, you
will simply precipitate a crisis quite
lamentable in it's results to yourself,
to your association. and to your cause.
You will see, therefore, Hussein, that
to kill me cannot really be thought OF.
A man of your penetration and UNI
doubted sagacity must surely admit
this at once, and we car then proceed
to discuss matters in a friendly and
pleasant manner
At last Hussein found his tongue, II
have never met you before. Mr.. Brett, 7
he said, but you interest me-"
Brett smiled n bowed in acknowl-
edgement of the compliment.
of course, l admit nothing" went on
the Mohammedan. Z
"Of course"
Least of all do / admit that I con-
templated any breach of hospitality to-
wards yourself"
Brett waved his hand in depreciation
of such a pernicious thought. &
But you will understand went on
Hussein-ul-Mulk, that it is quite im-
possible for me to even attempt to dis
cuss the very interesting facts you have
brought to my notice without some in
quiry on my part, n IN your some
proof that the events concerning which
you have informed me have really hap
pened. You see, one cannot trust news
papers. They get such garbled accounts
of occurrences, particularly OF State aft
fairs; they are misleading"
Excuse me, I am sure you will admit
that although I dispensed with details
in my brief statement. the facts were
undeniable. l can tell you exactly how
and why Mehemet Ali and his two Sec
retaries, together with Hussein, his
confidential servant, were murdered.
But the circumstances We're revolving
and need not be unduly discussed be-
tween gentlemen. l can tell you how
the diamonds were obtained from the
Albert Gate mansion, n how they
were conveyed tosParis. But as they
are probably in your possession, and the
main object of you enterprise has thus
been accomplished, it seems to me that
ell these otherwise dramatic effects are
needless. l nave told you exactly the
object of my visit, and I still await an
answer"
Hussein-ul-Mulk laughed a trile un4
easily.
"On my part, monsieur, / might at
tempt to question the extent of your
knowledge, but as you are mistaken in
one part of your summing-up of evil
dence. you may be wrong in others
ITO what do you allude?"
The Mohammedan reflected for a mo-
ment, and then answered.
at can see no harm in telling you
that I am not aware of any diamonds
in which I am personally interested
having arrived In Paris"
Indeed" said Brett, leaning forward
In his chair, and instantly dropping the
~listless air which had hitherto characs
terized his ~utterances. THAT is a very
curious thing. because the diamonds
have beer In Paris at least two days.
and If they are withheld from the pos
session of those who employed certain
agents to seure them, there must be 4
powerful reason to account for the de-
lay. Speaking quite disinterestedly,
monsieur. I would advise you to inquire
into the matter ct once"
His words evidently perturbed the
Turk.
"Will you object" ne said, III / leave
you alone q few minutes? ] wish to con-
suit with a friend OF mine who happens
to be staying here"
