Rh recently there has been another box—a dublicate box—very near. Now that the emerald has been taken that dublicate box would be destroyed; but wherever that box had been kept there would be still the stupid, if not also the clever, one who had done this thing. How then to find them!

"In that I am helped. Baraka has told how his pistol-shooting did not disturb him who opened the box. How could this be, only that the stupid one who had been taught to open the box had also been taught that nothing must disturb him? Not only has he been taught to open the box, but he has been made accustomed to open it whatefer iss done about him. Pistol-shooting iss, of course, the most likely thing to be done about him. At least, he has been trained not to mind pistol-shooting in any ways.
