Max, taking a magazine pistol from his pocket, stepped warily over the ledge into the mysterious half-light behind the great screen. As he did so, one of the lacquer doors was unlocked from the outside, and across the extraordinary, smoke-laden room he saw Inspector Kelly enter. He saw something else.
Seated in a strangely-shaped canopied chair was a figure wearing a rich mandarin robe, but having its face covered with a green veil.
_"Mon Deiu!_ at last!" he cried, and leapt into the room. "'The Scorpion'!"
Even as he leapt, and as the Scotland Yard men closed in upon the chair also, all of them armed and all half fearful, a thing happened which struck awe to every heart--for it seemed to be supernatural.
Raising a metal hammer which he held in his hand, Fo-Hi struck the bronze bell hung beside the chair. It emitted a deep, loud note....
There came a flash of blinding light, and intense crackling sound, the crash of broken gla.s.s, and a dense cloud of pungent fumes rose in the heated air.
Dunbar had just climbed in behind Gaston Max. Bother were all but hurled from their feet by the force of the explosion. Then:
"Oh, my G.o.d!" cried Dunbar, staggering, half blinded, _"look--look!"_
A deathly silence claimed them all. Just within the doorway Stuart appeared, having his arm about the shoulders of Miska.
The Throne of the G.o.ds was empty! A thin coating of grey dust was settling upon it and upon the dais which supported it.
They had witnessed a scientific miracle ... the complete and instantaneous disintegration of a human body. Gaston Max was the first to recover speech.
"We are defeated," he said. "'The Scorpion,' surrounded, destroys himself. It is the way of a scorpion."
