Samuels wanted to know. "1 have seen many of them, monsieur," Flique beamed. "What brought you here?" Flique had been waiting for the question. He drew fourth a wallet and extracted from It a sheet ol paper which he presented to' Sam uels. A clipping from the classi fied columns of a French newspa per was pasted to the sheet. "I can't read French," Samuels said irritably. "M. I'Antlquaire will translate," Flique murmured. A typewritten legend Indicated that the clipping hail been cut from the Clairon du Marin, a Marseilles newspaper. I read the legend and then the clipping "TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: "If you are looking tor a Jade pbamix that was bought In Marseilles 25 years ago. you may find It In the home of Mr. Dan Parados, San Lucas Island, California." Flique beamed agreeably at ur whilst we digested this Infnrmn tion. Samuels took the paper, stared at It, folded It slowly, and tucked It Into a vost pocket. "I'll keep this.
