Roger looked at him with eyes that burned fiercely underneath his shaggy brows. "I'm as right as you are except for my confounded back," he answered. "I've not got a scratch on me. Only something must have struck me as the car overturned and a bit of my spinal anatomy's gone phut." "You mayn't be as badly injured as you think," ventured Barry. "Some other doctor might give you a different report."
"The stars shine in our land more brightly," thought Phut. He began to whisper prayers in an unknown tongue, and turned toward the temple. When he had gone a number of steps, from one of the gardens a man pushed out and followed him. But almost at that very moment such a thick fog fell on the place that it was quite impossible to see aught save the roofs of the temple.
"In that case show me the road to the priestess," said Phut. "Remember that after sunset Thou art to have a guide for me, and to-morrow my bags and casket, otherwise I shall complain to the court."

"We never shall finish with this Chaldean priest," muttered Rabsun, with as much calmness as if he had not been insulted a moment before. Hiram coughed, and said, "That man has a house and land really in Harran, and he is called Phut there.
I'll telegraph for one of my best men. I have a little more than I can look after personally." "What do you intend to do?" "Have King kept in sight. There are some others in this city I need to shadow." "You don't mean Singa Phut?" "No, he's in custody. Besides, I've Well, I guess I won't say what conclusion I've come to regarding him.

"In that case I will go to her," answered Phut, "for she is a wise and devout person, and has told me of many happenings. After sunset Thou wilt give me a guide, so that I may not go astray." "All the evil spirits have entered thy heart," said Asarhadon.
