THIS WEEF
This Amazing Planet
24-yeor hunt brings the biggest bird Of the century
by Roy CHAPMAN ANDREWS
mdAhhx

IN 1913. DR.. James Chaplin, of the
American Museum of Natural
History, picked a feather from the
-headdress of native in the Ituri
forest. Belgian Congo. Africa. He
could not identify it and that annoyed
him exceedingly. He brought the
feather home. and for twenty-four
years the thought of it was in his sub
conscious mind.
Then in August, 1896. he walked
into a storeroom in the Congo
Museum. Brussels, and stood dumb
founded. There were two dusty.
mounted birds with wing feathers
like the one he had found in the Congo.
Moreover they proved closely related
to peacocks - and ps0cocks we're
knoscn only from Asia 1t was as amaz-
ing as though he had discovered
tiger in Africa!
He named the bird the Congo
Peacock" Afropaso eongemsis. new
genus and species. A few days later
he met a Belgian who told him that
he had eaten a strange bird in 1890
in the eastern Congo forest. Chaplin
was convinced that it must have been
his peacock. Well might he have been
excited, for ornithologists hailed it as
the most extraordinary bird discovery
of the century and one more unex-
pected link between the birds of Africa
and the Orient.
Chaplin had little clue as to where
to look for the peacock in the vast
reaches of the Congo forest. But his
intuition led him as straight as hon.
ing pigeon. In an airplane he flew out
to the Congo and went to little gold
mine few miles south of the eQua-

Her words emphasized my fears.
No one other than Esbek Bey and his
servants had seen US enter the house.
And the house. as saw it, was a spot
of Egyptian territory and law unto
itself. This sense of having been trans
ported from the safety of London into
an Arab stronghold. where princes
were detained as prisoners and the law
of the land was evidently regarded as
not applicable, produced a feeling of
coldness down my spine.
How do you come to be here?" de
Treville continued. "Since the Prince
is in London, should have expected
your father to have detained you in
Egypt"
''Oh! But surely you knowr' she

and lowered her voice. my father

smile was the age-old. voluptuous

softly.

"Some instinct must have prompted
me to give the Bey my real name." he
murmured. as he fingered gently a
heavy ornamental tray. 'If l had
made the mistake of giving him an
assumed name, we might really find
ourselves in a difficult situationY'
Its difficult enough as it is!'
"Yes," he agreed, and thoughtfully
poured out two more Scotch whiskies.
1.-The story is plain enough. Here are
two young people desperately in love
- and Arab love, as think you know,
is truly desperate while it lasts. My
dear fellow, we must see that this de-
lightful damsel is given in wedlock to
the man who adores her"

Instinctively she had approached

her hands, bent over them and kissed
her fingers.

smile which has inspired troops as
we'll as women; know where he is?"
But, of course, he is here"
She had all the naivete of the East
ern woman: A child she was, yet ripely
feminine.
'You will insist that they do not
send him back to Egypt without me?"
II shall insist" Trevvy assured her.
But do l understand that Prince
Fayul is in this house?"
Something in his tone, although he
spoke sternly and with complete con-
viction, told me that this was shot
in the dark, that he was uncertain if
Ahmed and Prince Fayul were one
and the same.

bent to me and whispered: This is
going to be moderately difficult"
'Dif6cultr' l whispered back. The
place is alive with Nubian servants!
If we disappeared here, no one would
be any the wiser. Why are We here?
How on earth did we get in?"
VERY simply. Recognizing that we
had nothing to do and recognizing at
the same time His Excellency Abdul
Esbek Bey. opened the door of his
car and said: 'Excellency, you are

myself, fortunately. by my proper

he continued in the same discreet
tone, until the Bey gave me the cue
by saying something about Fayul. I
presumed that he referred to Prince
Fayul and took chance. was right.
This is all l know. For some reason
he is afraid of Fayul. who is quite
young man, by the way, and seems
to be uncertain of the justice of his

Twas about to speak when: 'Sshr'
Trevvy whispered.
We both stood up. The doors had
opened very quietly.
AS l scrambled to my feet girl
came in who, except that she wore
European dinner frock, conformed
more closely to the poetical Arab idea
of feminine beauty than anyone
had hitherto actually met. Her skin
had something of the texture of a
peach blossom; her wonderful, long
Iaslled eyes were indeed in the words

time. he suddenly began to speak in a
loud voice. This must be settled,
Digger" he declared, squirting soda
water into tumbler. "We must do our
job. This marriage must be arranged"
The faintest flick of an eyelid gave
me the cue. 1t told me, too. that had
heard the same sound which had
arrested Trevvy's attention. That
hidden spy-hole had been opened
again, and this time, had little doubt
by the Bey.
1T should be SIMPLE" de Treville
added. Especially since His Majesty
desires this marriage"
did not follow the meaning of this
remark at the time; but had cause to
remember it later. As the words were
spoken. quite distinctly heard the
click of the closing shutter.
Political obstacles do not count"
he continued. The Prince is of good
family. and this alliance with the
daughter of Abdul Esbek Bey is fine
match"
Again the door opened. A peculiarly
repellent individual entered, whose
nationality l found myself at loss to
define. He wore perfectly cut evening
clothes, and his sleek black hair was
parted on the left side and brushed
across his brow in manner which l
can only describe as villainous. He was
sallow. and his eyes resembled dark
Sits in a parchment mask. He bowed.
Gentlemen" he announced, His
Excellency Abdul Esbek Bey requests
you to join him."
De Treville nodded to me; we
finished our drinks and walked out of
the room. The parchment man stand
ing aside to give US precedence. we
found ourselves in that lofty. dimly
lighted hall which, when l had en-
tered it, l had likened to the entrance
to a harem. l saw two white-dressed
Nubians at the top of the stair. and
another was standing motionless just
inside the entrance door.
Permit me. gentlemen, to conduct
you"
turned. The voice had come from
just behind me. Our unpleasant guide
stepped forward, indicating that we
should follow. and we crossed the
hall. We then mounted the stair,
passing one of the Nubians. and pres
emily, at the end of a corridor, our
guide having raped very discreetly
upon door and the door being opened
we entered what l gathered to be the
study of His Excellency.
In contrast to the other parts of the
house which l had seen. it was Euro
pean and modern in its appointments.

large writing table. He did not stand
up as we came in, but indicated that

For my own part. may as well ad-
init that l was quite willing to accept
this dismissal. The study of Esbek Bey
was as silent as room in the Great
Pyramid. and longed for the rattle of
London's traffic, for homely faces,
above all. for the ringing of taxi bell
which would tell me that l was speed
ing away from this sinister house.
But even as these hopes and fears
crossed my mind. l dismissed them:

Bernard de Treville! That he would

too much to hope!

lowering his heavy lids a fraction
more. Il quite understand your posi-
tion in this matter"
That, l thought, was really nasty
one. and remembering that the Bey
had been telephoning, the dreadful
idea crossed my mind that we we're
discovered; that in some way he had
found out that Trevvy was not acting
officially; in short. that he was being
KIND enough to give us an OppOrtu-
nifty of escape.
De Treville raised his monocle and
stared in we'll simulated surprise. "In
that case" he said. coldly, II fail to
comprehend Your Excellency's atti-
tude."
''Indeed?"
Indeed. sir. Not merely is your
daughters happiness at stake - this
l confess is no affair of mine; but a
match keenly desired by His Majesty
is threatened by your behavior"
This feat of mendacity took my
breath away. That de Treville should
have the nerve to pretend that the
King of England desired the marriage
of Prince Fayul and the daughter OF

my admiration of that remarkable
man, reduced me to a state of inward
