I imagine they quarreled over the possession of the watch, and Shere Ali, perhaps forgetting the deadly nature of it, or knowing the time mechanism was set not to go off for some hours, grabbed it away from Singa. Then came a quarrel and the killing with the candlestick. However I don't want to speculate too far afield. We have certain matters settled at any rate."
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.
A beaut!" came Riley's voice from down the corridor, and he came in with a wire cage containing a large rat which cowered in one corner of his cell, even as Singa Phut had shrunk into his when the end came. "How you going to get at him, Colonel?" asked the warden. "They're nasty to handle. One of 'em nipped my dog fierce when I gave him a chance at killing it a day or so ago."
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. I might have to change it. He is an interesting study.
"For the love of Mike look at this!" he suddenly exclaimed. "There's a needle in this dope stick!" "And, if you value your life don't touch it!" cried the colonel. "That's what I was looking for! Don't so much as scratch yourself the hundredth part of an inch or Well, you saw Singa Phut," he ended grimly. "Poisoned needle, Colonel?" asked Dr.
He received clothes and rich arms as a present from the King; and the King so highly favoured him that he was not only to be husband of the Princess Handa, but was to succeed Kadga Singa on the throne, and to reign over that beautiful and rich land.
Singa Phut, whose watch was found clasped in the dead woman's hand, had been closely questioned, but had established a perfect alibi. And the testimony as to this came, not from persons of his own nationality, but from business men and others, whose words could not be doubted. So, in the opinion of the authorities, he was not worth considering further.
With the suicide of the East Indian the case had been dropped by Donovan and the authorities, they taking it for granted that Singa Phut had killed Shere Ali and then ended his own life, by help from outside in getting poison. So if Donovan thought anything about the watch, he said nothing. "Then you think Darcy is cleared of any connection with the poison watch?" asked the colonel.
So I made up my mind to get up early and attend to it. But I never got the chance. No, I don't recall what happened to that watch. I suppose the detectives have it." "The prosecutor did take it, but Singa Phut has it now." "He has!" cried Darcy. "Yes, he called at the court house and begged that it be given to him.
"By the process of elimination, so he told dad. He never for an instant really believed you guilty, Jimmie boy, even after the discovery of the electric wires, though he let those two detectives think he did." "And what about Singa Phut and Harry King?" "Oh, they were only incidents, so Colonel Ashley says," went on the happy girl, as the automobile rolled along.
