Tal- ham is instrumental in saving, a remarkable girl, Yvonne Yale, from the attentions of three Chinamen, who follow-her. in Hyde Park, obviously to`secure possession of an ancient jade bracelet covered with inscrip- tions in Chinese. -The inscription refers to an Emperor, and Talham, understanding its importance, takes charge- of the bracelet. The green mail bag contained a document giving the exact locality of the tomb of the A first Emperor of China. This. tomb con- tains a large quantity of gold and precious stones. The Chinese Ambassador who is an historian of some note had written for the document -to be sent to him to assist him in writing an article. This muchVTil- lizini discovers when he calls, upon the Am- bassador. Leaving the Ambassador Tillizini descends to discover Talham waiting for an interview with the former. Whilst Til- lizini and the Captain are talking a shot is heard. They rush upstairs to discover the Ambassador dead--but strangled. The mys- tcry of the shotis unravelled when in the ` drawer of the `bureau is discovered` the body of a Chinaman. The precious docu-. ment has disappeared. Gregory de Costa,\; f the son of Raymond de Costa, is in love with Yvonne Yale, but Captain Talliamv appears on the scene and hands over a bracelet to him. When, however, Ray- mond de Costa shows this bracelet to a lhinaman called Soc of the Society of Good Intention the latter tells him it is the M wrong one. Soo finds that the man who 5 was shot in the Ambassar.ior s house was! his brother, who was sent with two other Chinamen to secure the document, The other men have disappeared. Ah unsuc- cessful attempt is made on the lives of Tillizini and Talham. Later they'.'maks an afternoon -call together at the Y-ales` house. Talham and Tillizini make the ac- quaintance of Mrs. Yale.
