...gold-mine in South Africa she did not know; but her half-demented captor knew; and the Three Just Men knew-almost too late. The man who was bringing her the deeds was fatally and mysteriously struck in the neck. Two tiny pricks in a patch of angry red flesh suggested snakebite. But a London "bobby" had been watching the luckless man for some time, and could testify that neither snake nor biped had been near him. Mercurial Mr. Meadows of Scotland Yard was baffled; but the Three tracked the criminal along circuitous bypaths of villainy, killed him with...

The salt they get from fish, fowl and beast is too little for bodily needs...

This indicated that the painter of the Louvre Belle had first laid down metallic flesh tints (impermeable by X-rays) then painted the jewelry over them. The practice of blocking out the whole figure before adding ornament is favored by artists working from live models. But in the Hahn X-ray the jewelry was clearly visible suggesting that the Hahn Belle had first been carefully sketched then colored in separate...
