Lastly, I got into conversation with the man, Hawkins, who was accompanied by your friend, the mute! "Leaving this dangerous pair, I made a rush for the Bell House, thinking I saw my opportunity to examine it unmolested. I was too late, though. One of my assistants warned me of the Eurasian's return just as I was about to enter. "I watched the house all day.
A prank of the strange light, perhaps. But Ku Sui nevertheless! Ku Sui trapped! The Hawk leaped forward with outstretched arms to seize and hold the Eurasian's motionless figure. As he moved, the second of ghostly light dissolved away, and in the blackness his eager reaching arms closed on nothing! Surely Ku Sui had been there! Surely he had not just imagined he saw him!
"I am aware of the fact," murmured Zani Chada. "There are two people in it I want for two different reasons. If you say much more there may be three." Chada raised his hand slowly. "Put back your whistle, Chief Inspector." There was a curious restraint in the Eurasian's manner which Kerry distrusted, but for which at the time he was at a loss to account.
Were your intellect of lesser stature, I would have no interest in you whatever. But as it is...." He shrugged. Hawk Carse stood up. The Eurasian's voice fell away. The ensuing silence gave an icy, clear-cut sharpness to the whisper that then cut through it from thin lips that barely moved: "God help you, Ku Sui, if you do it. God help you." Dr. Ku Sui smiled deprecatingly and again shrugged.
And suddenly, he smiled at the two men facing him, and said pleasantly to Carse: "Things repeat! Not long ago I asked you to sit in a chair and submit to a treatment of mine, and you did as I asked. After so gallant a precedent, how could I refuse? All right. Now, Master Leithgow, your gas!" With gentle fingers Eliot Leithgow fitted the cone on the Eurasian's face and fastened it there.
It will be remembered as related in "Hawk Carse" that Dr. Ku laid a most ingenious trap for Carse on the latter's ranch on Iapetus, eighth satellite of Saturn. Judd the Kite, pirate and scavenger, was the Eurasian's tool in this plot, which started with a raid on the ranch.
"Well?" rapped Kerry fiercely, at the same time throwing his arm around the boy. "I may continue to take an interest in your affairs." A tremendous uproar arose, within and without the house. The police were raiding the place. Lady Rourke sank down, slowly, almost at the Eurasian's feet.
Then, a few minutes later, had come the three strokes of the gong; and again that unreasonable dread had assailed him, perhaps because it signalized the capture of his son, news of which had been immediately telephoned to Limehouse by Zani Chada's orders. Certain it is that Kerry left the Eurasian's house in a frame of mind which was not familiar to him. He was undecided respecting his next move.
