The Mystery of the Silver Dagger

Randall Parrish

4.9/5 (17859 ratings)

Description:There were several articles I lingered over, tempted to purchase, but drifted on, rather undecided, until my eyes perceived a very quaint lacquered jewel box, entirely different from anything of its kind ever noted before. It was evidently old, but of a class of workmanship quite unique. Indeed as I looked at it, endeavoring to trace the markings on its silvered front, I could not determine whether it had originated in Orient or Occident; seemingly it combined features of both schools, uniting the peculiarities of each. The proprietor perceiving my interest joined me. “The jewel box attracts you,” he said pleasantly, opening the case and bringing it forth. “And the closer you examine the work the more you will appreciate the design. You have love for such things?” “A deep interest at least,” I admitted, taking the article from his hand, “a collector in an amateur way.” “You have traveled no doubt?” “Rather extensively; much of my collection has been gathered from foreign shops; but I confess this puzzles me. What is the workmanship—surely not Japanese?” “No,” smilingly. “Although positively I cannot answer as to its origin. I studied it for days, and even now can only make an intelligent guess. The inscription, which can only be read with a microscope,” he traced the line with his finger, “is ancient Arabic, but no wild Arab ever did the lacquer.” “Who then?”We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
