CHAPTER XII A PIECB OF JADE. O IT was a jade phoenix that had occupled the glass case! And Parados’ reaction to his discovery w.s that the case was empty had given me the feeling that some- thing inside him was being torn up by the roots! “What are you talking about, Mrs. Parados?” Samuels demanded. “I'm talking about Dan’s jade phoe- nix,” Mrs. Parados retorted. “He kept 1t in that glass case. Don’t you see the MK “15 empty? Dan thought the world o Mrs. Parados was badly shaken. The pockets under her eyes were bloodless. “I don't understand,” Samuels said. *“A phoenix—what do you mean?” “A remarkable bird,” Flique explained. “The ancients believed in it. It was almost immortal, ‘that phoenix, and al- ways of the female. Five hundred— perhaps a thousand-—years it lived.” “Parados had one of those birds, you mean?” Samuels asked. “Not alive, monsieur,” Flique assured | him, “but in jade.

He believed the phoe- nix brought him his money.” Mrs. Pa- | radcs gave a freezing laugh. “The day he lost his lucky piece he lost his life.” I'm not superstitious, but it gave me a queer feeling. “The one who shot Parados took the bird,” Samuels declared. “But_it was taken before he was shot,” I countered- I told Samuels ‘I was sure Parados hadn’t kiown it was gone until T saw him look ut the case.” “Where’d he get it?” Samuels asked Mrs. Parados.

Also it is the birthday of madame.’ “I don't see how he fell for such bunk,” Samuels muttered. “Ah, you have not the inward eye,” Flique interprosed. “He was of peasant stock—and his were the peasant-—um-— superstitions.” Parados?” Samuels asked. “In France. But his flt.her ‘was Greek: his mother was French.” | " “Tell me what you know of his past— before you met him.” “I don't know anything.” “You expect me to believe that?” “I don't care whether you believe 1t or not,” Mrs. Paoados said. “It is so. Dan said his past was none of my busi- ness.” ‘The deputy let it go at that, but I doubted if he was satisfied. I wasn't. “Any of you people seen this phoenix today?” he asked. Granger, it appeared, had seen it in the morning when he had laid kindling in the grate, Manning had noticed it before lunch when she dusted the room and Miss Jahries had seen it in the early afternoon. No one admitted seeing it since then. “Some ore did, that's certain,” Sam- uels said grimly. A clock ln 0.he hall began to strike 12.
