caught me by the arm. 1t was a lucky
thing that she did, for 1 was on the
verge of losing my temper.
"Mr. Hunt" she was saying. "You

She was right, of course. I began to

I'm talking about Dams jade phoe-

It in that glass case. Don't you see the

Mrs Parados was badly shaken. The

"I don't understand" Samuels said.

"A remarkable bird" Flique explained.
'The ancients believed in it. 1t was
