"Humph!" Braddock moved to the door, thinking. "I shall reserve my

decision until this man arrives. Good day," and he departed.

Random did not attempt to detain him, as he was somewhat weary of the

Professor's vagaries. He knew very well that Braddock would call on

Don Pedro when he came to the Warrior Inn, and join forces with him in

searching for the lost goods. And the train of thought initiated by the

Professor's visit led Random to a certain drawer, whence he took the

photograph of a splendid-looking beauty. To this he pressed his lips. "I

wonder if your father will give you to me in exchange for that mummy,"

he thought, and kissed the pictured face again.
