They of Persia and of Lud and of Phut were in thine army, thy men of war: they hanged the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy comeliness. The men of Arvad with thine army were upon thy walls round about, and the Gammadims were in thy towers: they hanged their shields upon thy walls round about; they have made thy beauty perfect.
I think this is what happened, though I may be wrong. "Singa Phut, for purposes of his own, had this poisoned watch in his possession. He, of course, knew just what it would do, and how to set it so that if a person, at a certain hour, took it into his or her hands, and exerted any pressure on the rim, the needle would shoot out and puncture the flesh. The poison on the point then caused death."
"Shure, she ain't the only wan. An' what do you be hearin' from your boy, Mis' Phut, that's in France?" "He's well, and happy. His arm's all healed, and he says he'll be in it again by the time I get his letter." "Humph," said Irish Nellie. And prepared to leave. She cast an inquisitive eye over the little table as she made for the door inquisitive, but kindly.
See you later!" and, making sure that his blackjack and revolver were in his pockets, Donovan hurried out, followed by the colonel, whose hand had loosely closed over the ticking watch which, unseen, went out with him. Later that night Singa Phut, a silent, shrinking and somewhat pathetic figure, slept in a cell at police headquarters.
Then through the silence, from nowhere it seemed, a half-spent bullet whistled and buried itself with a spiteful "phut." After a pause ... a whine, accompanied by others, falling short. In the distance his machine-gunners and advanced screen of scouts appeared ... the whining merged into a constant buzzing, men coughed furiously and bent forward, fell awkwardly ... straightened out.
It was mentioned that Singa Phut was being kept under observation, though no suspicion attached to him. Darcy had at first nervously, and then indignantly, protested his innocence, King continually doing the latter.
Then he said: "If I could find out why Singa Phut used this watch I'd be in a better position to answer," and from the package the detective took the timepiece which he had kept after Donovan had given it to him to examine. "You mean you're not sure about Darcy?" "Well, I thought I was. At first I had my doubts.
At eight o'clock next morning Phut of Harran returned to the Phoenician inn "Under the Ship" to which his bags and casket stolen by thieves had been returned safely. A few minutes later came Asarhadon's confidential servant, whom the innkeeper took to the cellar and examined briefly, "Well?" "I was all night on the square where the temple of Set is," answered the servant.
"I may need it as evidence when we get Mr. Phut, or whatever the Dago's name is." "Oh, no, I wouldn't think of taking it away. I'll look at it here. It seems to be a very old timepiece one of the first made smaller than the old 'Nuremberg eggs I fancy. Quite an interesting study watches Donovan.
I was awf'ly old then nearly two and twenty and she was quite that. MRS. G. That means she was older than you. I shouldn't like her to have been younger. Well? CAPT. G. Well, I fancied myself in love and raved about a bit, and oh, yes, by Jove! I made up poetry. Ha! Ha! MRS. G. You never wrote any for me! What happened? CAPT. G. I came out here, and the whole thing went phut.
