He jumped back, closing the door, but before the Bradys had time to think twice it was opened again on the crack and a revolver was fired.
The shot went through Old King Brady's hat.
The instant the crack of the revolver was heard, Harry, who had drawn his weapon, fired.
His aim was true, the shot flew in through the crack of the door.
There was a yell of pain and something was heard to fall.
"Forward!" cried the old detective.
As he said it a succession of queer little squeals began inside the house and a woman's voice chattered in Chinese.
It was the princess!
The Bradys rushed inside.
Harry's shot had taken Dr. Garshaski in the right hand.
