threw back his head and laughed, a
fierce, hooking laugh; then he swung
round and faced the room. For a while
he stood motionless, and Hugh, from
the shelter of the bushes, wondered
whether the two quick flashes that

duke withered completely under the

about to say something. but the Indian
had turned away. and his long, delicate
fingers were lowering over the box.
With cleaning eyes he stared in

audibly.
"What Is II supposed to do?" she
ventured timidly.
"For centuries that box contained
the jewels-preclous beyond words
of the reigning queens of the Chow
dynasty. They were wrapped in sill
yer and gold tissue--of which this Il

From a cummerbund under his robe
he drew a piece of shining material.
