Bradshaw. The bird, bought from al
dealer whom Tom knows and trusts,'
ja according to, the dealer, a very
exceptional parrot, and is about rev -I
enty years of age—no great age for
a parrot.
On the liner, the bird engages the
attention of Jacob Fernandez, a rich
man, of, Lima, who ` is bound for
Panama, whose life hobby is,. the'
study of birds.
To Fernandez, the parrottalks, but
the only words he can detect in al
string of sounds are "Benny Boss."
Fernandez says he knew a man of
that name, and proceeds to tell Tom
and Angus what he knows.
Benny was a man of mixed parent-
age—English and Peruvian—who, for
a time, fifty years earlier, worked
for Fernandez. They parted company
and after an interval, Benny tried,
unsuccessfully, to sell to Fernandez
a large ruby worth much more than
the price he put on it. Piecing to-
gether what he learned about Benny
in later years, it seems. that Benny
had been engaged in dredging on
Lake Titicaca, and that he had dredg-
ed up jewels thrown into the lake
at the time of the Spanish conquest.
Fernandez advises Tom to have the
bird's speech investigated by an ex-
pert.
CHAPTER V
AN EXPERT
iVir. Gregory Barbour was a small
man of fifty years old. He already
grew bald, and the result was to
make his high forehead loftier still.
He shaved clean and his face was
withered and lacked animation, las
often happens where no sense of hum-
our lights the countenance. But his
small slate -coloured eyes were bright
behind his unusually large spectacles;
his mouth was neat and firm; his
chin tended to recede. The linguist
had known Jane's parents in their
time and entertained considerable ad-
miration for her, but he had striven
to turn the girl from her hobby.
"With your university career and;
your excellent degree," said Gregory,
"this pursuit of rearing tropical fowl
for profit is unworthy of you; Jane."
He always talked like that.
Jane, however, preferred Gouldian
finches to the paths of scholarship.
Mr. Barbour tended to be a little
stiff with strangers until he had
gauged their calibre. Aylmer he knew'
already and regretted that Jane had i
not chosen a man of finer intellect,'
but Angus. he had never met, and
young Maine made certain remarks
that inclined Gregory to take a fav-
ourable opinion of him.
Angus guessed that Jane's new par-
rot might possibly be speaking an
obsolete, South American language;
but Toni. reminded him of old Jacob's
comment when he first propounded
that theory..
"A language," said Mr, Barbour,
"dies hard. I know, of course, such
rudimentary fragments of Aztec and
Inca as still persist, and have in-
structed explorers in my time to seek
the remote fastnesses of foreign
countries where survivals may best
be hoped for. When I ain brought
face to face with your parrot, after
luncheon, I shall bring to the arena
all that is known of any tongue that
he can possibly be supposed to have
heard and chronicled in his own mech-
anical fashion. A parrot, of course,
is wholly ignorant of any meaning
in his pronouncements; but if a mean-
ing exists in this case, then prob-
ably I am more likely to detect it
than another."
Fortified by direct sunlight and a
chili, the bird faced his ordeal in
good spirits, But patience was need-
ed, for Jane's gorgeous parrot had
now .turned his attention to the
Kookaburra, who lived not far dist-
ant from him. He 'said "Benny. Boss"
three tines, then eyed Min --Barbour
solemnly for some seconds and finally
broke into a peal of raucous laughter.
Gregory flushed and turned upon
the company.
"Is that what you have summoned
rine to report upon, Jane?" he asked..
"If so, the jest is ill -tithed --as your
jests are apt to be." .11
"Wait, wait"1 she begged. "Hers
only picked that up from my Laugh-
ing Jack. He'll go back to his own'
conversation in a minute.."
Mr. Barbour calmed down, !t
"Evil communications corrupt good f
manners, as Menander so ruly, re-
, e
marks," he answered.
"I thought St. Paul said it," vent-
ured Nicholas.
"He did, but Menander said it
first," replied the little man.
The parrot steadied down and'fell
back upon his, familiar phrase, where-
upon Gregory
p g y lifted his hand for sil-
ence, took a seat before the cage and
concentrated. upon the odd jumble of
sounds. -He brought:a pocket -book
from his coat and a pencil from his
waist -coat. Then he noted down'
phonetically each potential word as it
fell upon his ear. Everybody waited
any results with interest; but to Jane
there sounded a mocking and even
synical flavour in her bird's utter-
ance. •
Mr. Barbour proceeded upon his
curious task with utmost solemnity
and threw no light upon what' might
be in his mind; but at length he
begged that the parrot should be re-
moved. ,
"Take. him away," . he said, "and
leave .me quite alone with my mem-
oranda for. the space of -half an hour,
please. I will take these data into
the garden, Jane, and sit in the sum-
mer -house. Should you hear strange
noises, feel no concern. I shall utter
these words aloud and feel how they
may sound upon my tongue when
it comes to fashioning the labials and
dentals."
Gregory departed,'' and presently
faint sounds came to their ears where
the young -people sat and smoked on
the grass twenty yards away.
"I'm not hopeful," said Tom. "If
Greg had got a line, he'd have been
dramatic about it and created a big
effect."
"Your never know with him,"
thought Nicholas Bradshaw. "He's
awfully deep really."
But when half an hour was gone
the linguist joined them, and Jane
perceived at once that he had nothing
hopeful to report.
' 'You always know by Greg's walk
if he's satisfied with life, or , disap-
pointed with it," she told them.'"Re's
failed, and he'll be full sof reasons
why he's failed, and put the blame
on the parrot."
•
She proved quite righk,
"My results are entirely negative I
regret to say," the began spreading a
silk handkerchief upon ,the grass be-
fore he sat down.
"There is no shadow of doubt that
your bird has been taught something.
but I should judge that he must have
failed of his lesson through mental or
physical inability to repeat' it correct-
ly. Had he done his part, I make
io doubt that it -would have proved
well in my power to do mine; but I.
have conte to the conclusion that his
utterarice is inaccurate and faulty—
so much so that it lies beyond the
power of science to arrive at any ex-
lantation of it. I detect no evidences
of any ]crown language in this farago
and, on trying it out vocally, found
no small difficulty in saying several
of the words—so to call them—at all.
Anything' like fluency is impossible,
nd the vocal cords feel the effort.
Listen."
Mr. Barbour drew out his notebook
again and spoke as' follows, uttering
each sound slowly.
"Resyeg to egrog retenan cache
ogapalag west rotauge no potelbat."
"The parrot says it better than you
o, Greg," declared Jane.
"Ile does, for the reason that he
alks with his . throat, while I talk
rom niy mouthy" explained her
friend. "A bird has neither lips nor
eeth to assist pronunciation; but
you will notice in this sentence the
number of guttural sounds. These re-
uire an effort from me, but come'
atarally to a parrot, and I 'suspect
that the crux of the problem lies
here.•,,He is certainly saying some-
thing, but if we could hear his teacher
ay the same things, we should'prob
ably' find, the inflexion, emphasis,
and so forth to be quite different

"Did you notice that he used'' three`
what you might call English words?"
suggested young Bradshaw, and Gre-
' gory looked' at him coldly.
"That fact had net escaped- me,
Nicholas," he replied, "and if you,can
glean any' light from it, by all means
luninate our darkness."
Nick subsided, and the ' linguist
handed his pocket -book to Jane.
"I want each of you in turn to
peak these_words aloud as I have set
hem down," he said, "that I , may
eel the sounds impinge upon my
ar." '
They\ spoke the words alouda

in turn following the parrot's pro-
nounciation; 'buttheir efforts did not
assist Mr, Barbour,
"No" clue' transpires," •he said, "and
I much fear that we must resign 'our-
selves to disappointment. There is

that could possibly serve as a basis
for these irregular sounds. I should
be prepared to'admit'that may wrap
up some 'enigma, but I have`not the
least suspicion of ;what, ' Since you
say, however, that your bird once be-
longed to a dissolute Peruvian marin-
er, Tom, the deduction would be that
what it means can hardly amount
to much." o
"Grapes are sour, Greg," said Tom
Aylmer. "Because you can't make top
or tail of it, you say it's probably
tripe in any ease." ,
"The assumption would certainly' be
that it is 'tripe,' Tom—to use your
own offensive words."
"Is there; anybody else at the Brit-
ish Museum, or the Universities, or
anywhere, who might possibly succeed
where you've drawn, a blank, my pre-
cious Greg'?" asked Jane, and Mr.
Barbour .regarded., her reproachfully,
"As to that," he answered, "I can-
not t cull htenyou.But byall means

myself if you feel my powers inade-

nade-
quate. '
"Darling, don't talk in that tone of
voice or I shall crfy; declared Jane
and Angus' made a suggestion.
"Perhaps it isn't a case fore a swell
linguist like you, .Mr.' Barbour,"' he
said, "How would it'bo if -we turned
a medium, or a thought -reader, or
some such Person on to it?"
"You speak as a Scot," answered
Gregory, "and their propensities in
the direction of the esoteric are, of
course, well known. They claim not
only for themselves, but even for their
dogs and other domestic animals the
gift of second -sight; but when I tell
you that I have no belief whatsoever
M second -sight you will judge that I
should not imagine this cryptic puz-
zle can. be .solved' by necromancy."
Angus was silenced.
Jane spoke. "Perhaps your last
word was the wisest, Greg," she said.
"Perhaps it is just a puzzle, like a
jig -saw or cross -word, and nothing
else at all."
"It may veritably be so," admitted
Gregory; "but I am a man of science;
not a conjurer, Jane. We know that
feminine intuition . will occasionally
solve a problem when logic and reas-
on have striven in vain for a solution,
so' you had better apply your powers
and see if the enigma will yield to
them,"
They drank tea and Mr. Barbour
discoursed. Then he took his leave
and begged that, if any light dawned,
ho might learn its nature.
Gregory started his motor car and
sailed away, while 'Jane praised him.
"Isn't he priceless?" she asked.
"He may be, but he is quite useless
to us," said Angus Maine. "What
you have to do now is to find a
necromancer." •
"There's my feminine intuition, re-
member."
The parrot was quickly dismissed
from their minds and Jane, suddenly
faced with the prospect of early mar-
riage, troubled no more about him.
Plans for the future began to de-
velop and the initial difficulty of
Mrs. Aylmer was quickly settled. On
learning that her son felt it might be
better that they should not join
forces, she, made quick capital out of
her disappointment.
"If the wish of niy life is to be
denied me and I am not to live -with
you and Jane," she said, "then you
must make it up to be as best you
can, Toni. I should, of course, have
been willing and happy to dwell any-
where with your companionship; but
as you talk of foreign travel and so
on, then I must be free to find a
modest home. My friends had• not
mattered if you and Jane joined me;
now, of course, they do, for I need
the society of my fellow creatures.'
'We might find a nice little Lawton
freehold to be sold," said Toni. "Then
you'd feel you were living in your own
house,"
"So that it is spacious enough for
entertainment and within the West
End, I care very little,' she said, "but
you had better let me talce the pre-
liminary steps, my dear son, because
I know' what I shall need, and you
. "Are you going to keep any of the
old staff," he said,
"Not one," replied Mrs. Aylmer,
"They have been schooled in your
father's bitter regime, and you know
hoW difficult it is for domestics to
change their habits. Everything will
be new in my little home, even to
the furniture. I shall suffer less and
be less under •the dominion of the
old,, restricted, unnatural existence,
if I cut loose and fix my mind upon
the future. Thatis the healthy thing
tel do in my opinion. A starved soul
demands nourishment just as much as
a starved body."
"I'm going to have Iots of fun with
Mother," Tom. told Jane when next
they met. "She's going houte-hunt-
ing at once.' She proposes to cut loose
anyway - whatever that may'snean."
"It means a dash at Park Lane,"
said Jane, "and then, wounded and
battered and disillusioned, she'll fall.
baclk on the next best hole.
"One will have to be firm, Jane.".
"It's the:'hardest•thing in the world
to be firm with a mother like yours,"
she answered him, "Where there is
io arithmetic, firmness becomes
brutality,"

oldest beliefs that trees put on one
ring each year. They are visible when
the trunk of a tree is sawed in two.
Trees were discovered in. Texas
