He closed the French windows of the room and returnedgto Talham,` and dropped his hand upon the other s shoulder. ' Talham was awake instantly, Anything wrong?" he asked as he saw the other s face. A Tillizini shook his head. ' That we are both alive is evidence that nothing is wrong,"A he said. Look at the mantlepiece." . Talham raised his eyes. 7 On the shelf above the fireplace.` between two Tanagra statuettes. was a small, square. black box as large as a small tea-caddy and , not unlike one in its appearance. Dependent from the case, hung a length of fuse soe eight inches long,` and the end was burnt `black.

Horse during the South African War,_and' `afterwards a general in the Chinese army. Talham is, instrumental in saving a remark- able girl, Yvonne Yale, from the attentions A` Ohm:-on nklnuvnnvu uylxn fnnnutnth hnr inl @$$&&&$&%%&&%%%%*&$&&&%%% uUIC 5111, I VUUIIC LKIIU, IIUIII IIIC GDICIIIIUIID ` of three Chinamen, who followed her ini Hyde Park, obviously to secure possessioni of an ancient jade bracelet covered with inscriptions in Chinese. The inscription refers to an Emperor,` and Talham, under-I standing its importance takes charge of the bracelet. The green mail bag contained a document giving the exact. locality of the tomb of the first Emperor of China.l This tomb contains a large quantity of gold and precious stones. The Chinese Ambas- sador 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 much Tillizini discovers when he calls -upon the Ambassador. Leaving the Am- bassador Tillizini descends to discover Tal_- ham waiting for an interview with the former. Whilst Tillizini and the Captain are talking, a shot is heard. They rush upstairs to discover the Ambassador dead --but strangled. The mystery of the shot- is unravellcd when in the drawer of the bureau is discovered the body of a China: man. The precious document has disap-pl peared. Gregory de Costa, the son of. Ray-u mond de Costa, is in love with Yvonne} Yale, but Captain Talham appears on the: scene and hands over a bracelet to him.[ When. however. Raymond de Costa shows; this bracelet to a Chinanian called Soc, of; the Society of Good Intention, the latter` tells him it is the wrong one. Soo ndsl that the man who was shot in the Ambas~ I sudorls house was his brother who was sent with the other two Chinamen to secure- the document.
