The links in the chain are quite complete. They even include our
possession of a letter to you from a certain firm of brokers stating
that they bad failed to discover the genuine proprietors of the com

"Eh?" cried Dad, looking at Schwartz. "What is this? Are you
sure of your facts, Warden ?"
I once read in a paper that some man who was fighting another
man "went down and out." I didn't know what it meant, but it
seemed to lit Schwartz's case, lie went limp all at once.
"Quite sure, Grosvenor," said the solicitor. "You can thank your
daughter for putting me on the track of a very discreditable and un
savory business. I have prepared the necessary documents,
Schwartz. Will you execute them without further explanation?"
"Where is the ju-ju?" demanded Schwartz, pulling himself to-
gether and glaring at me with eyes
like flint marbles.

of the room, and Dad rang for
(Evangeline to tell Jim to get the victoria ready at once.
When Schwartz drove through our gate on his way to the station
the mob cheered him. I expect he felt like being cheered. Bob told
me afterward that he said a naughty word to our lame porter when
he wanted to carry the small bag in which the ju-ju was placed, I sup
pose, because gentlemen's pockets are not like mine. Still, from what
I heard later he must have taken it out of the bag when he was safe
in the train.
It was then nearly 8 o'clock, and Dad sent Mole with a note to
to say that the negroes ought to be liberated at once. Jack, who
has plenty of brains, brought his uncle with him to congratulate Dad
and Mam about me, and they stayed to dinner. Jack and Dorothy sat
together, so matters looked all right in that quarter. They did not
say a great deal. Just as in Schwartz's case, silence was eloquent.
Dad brought mo once to see a plav at Drurv Lane, and I imagined
all sorts of terrifying things when the villain crept nearer the defense
less heroine. If either of them spoke it, was not half so thrilling. I
had just the same feeling when Mr. Warden kept waiting for Schwartz
to admit he was beaten.
Prinee John rang our bell exactly at 9 o'clock.
"Wah!" shrieked Evangeline when she opened the door. Then
she fled. I had to rush and grab Dan, hut I smiled sweetly at my dark
visitor and asked him to come into the morning room. I knew that
.Mr. Warden and Uncle Stanhope were telling each other that every
motorist should be sent to penal servitude 011 a second conviction, so
I had 110 trouble in beckoning Dad to join me for a minute.
He was rather surprised at meeting the negro, but he apologized
quite nice\y for the Christmas eve incident and also for any inconven
ience which the other might have undergone owing to the action of
the police. I was wondering if Dad meant to put his hand in his
pocket and produce some money, but he told mc afterward that he
felt exactly the same as I did with regard to Prince John. The man
looked every inch a king, and I have reckoned up that he was at least
seventy-four inches high.
But before T could stop him Dad nearly gave me away badly.
"I ought to tell you," he went <>ll, "that from circumstances which
have come to my knowledge I now sympathize deeply with you in
your search for the—er—curious West African—er —god which you
wish to recover, and I must say that if my—er —daughter Millicent
had consulted me"—
So Dad was just beginning to tell the Kwantu chief in his best
J. P. manner that Schwartz was again the proud possessor of the
ju-ju when 1 broke in:
"One moment, father, dear!" I cried. "You will understand
things ever so much better when you hear what Prince John and I
have to say to each other. Have you kept your part of the bargain?"
I asked the black man quickly.
lie took from his coat pocket a small bundle tied with pink tape.
"Here are fifty Bank of Kngland notes for £IOO each," lie said.
"Then here is your ju-ju," I answered, diving into my skirt pocket
and holding him the original piece of ivory, beaded kilt and all com
plete, "and you may now know what a trouble it was in London to get
a fair copy of it made for Schwartz during the; few hours I had at my
disposal."
Dad looked awfully severe after his iirst gasp of amazement had
passed.
"Millicent," lie said, "what have you done?"
"I have served Mr. Schwartz as he tried to serve you, father,
dear, ' I replied. "As for Prince' John, he offered the man who stole
the ju-ju £IO,OOO il it were given back* so 1 saw no harm in arranging
that half the amount should he paid to you. In any case, 1 always
meant the poor black people to have it. It was a
very great shame for Mr. Schwartz to take from
them the thing which they thought so much of." V; iwrn
For a little while he could say nothing. Like jkj|®|
me, he was watching the black prince, who really IjM
treated that absurd—l men 11 that extraordinary— u.' /l|f^
scrap of carved ivory as if it were the most pre
cious article in the world. It might have been
all one blazing diamond by the reverent way he Wj ,
handled it. When he was quite sure that it was («[ S
his own ju-ju—and he did not take for granted, ■ *
like Schwartz, that it was the genuine thing until lie had looked at
every mark—he pressed its funny monkey face to his lips, his fore
head and his breast. He paid not the least heed to us or what we
were saying. It was not until he had produced a small, finely woven
mat from the poekel in which lie kept the notes and wrapped the ju-ju
in it before putting it away that he gave us any attention.
Of course Dad started a second time to talk as if he were at a
Conservative meeting.
"It has given me the greatest pleasure to observe that my—er —-
daughter Millicent has restored to you the—er—interesting object
which you seem to value so highly, but I need hardly say that—er—
the payment of anv such —er —astounding reward as £.">,000 is utterly
out of the question."
"My people pay the money gladly," said the negro prince, draw
ing himself up in the grandest way imaginable. "I toll you, too, that
your daughter's name will be honored in my country, and when I
and my friends return home we shall not fail to send her other tokens
of our regard and good will."
"We cannot accept this money," sard Dad firmly.
'"lt is quite essential that you should," said the other with equal
coolness. "If you refuse it lfow I shall simply be compelled to send
it to you through the post. We lost our ju-ju owing to the remiss
ness of its guardians. We must atone for that, and the payment must)
be made in treasure—or blood."
You can have 110 idea how he uttered those last two words. 110
spoke quietly and in a low voice, but somehow I could feel in theni
the edge of one of those sharp, heavy choppers called "machetes/'
Polly says, which the maids in the Marquis o' Granby saw in the
negroes' bedrooms.
So it ended in our shaking hands with Prince John and in
Dad bringing the notes into the drawing room
to show them to Mam and the others before 110
put them away in the silver safe. Everybody
made a tremendous fuss over me, and Poll sang
"The ilan Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo,"
but I was only too delighted that we had had |j \ / y ''
such a. jolly Christmas and were all good friends 1 /
again, though it looked rather glum at one time. •»
They made me talk nearly all this story before I
went to bed, and 1 heard old Mr. Stanhope growl '
that if Dorothy was in such a hurry to get married he didn't see why*
she shouldn't.
Dad did not tell ine until long after, but he sent Mr. Schwartz his?
£55 next day, when he also bought me the loveliest bay pony to
I christened him Prinee John when I introduced him to the gang.
