Inside five minutes, Bob, Jupiter, and the professor were on their way in the Rolls-Royce. By now it was almost dark. After they had gone. Wilkins went to the kitchen, where he had been polishing some Oriental brass-work, and resumed his task. After a short time, a slight noise outside attracted his attention. It was not repeated, but he rose and, grasping an ancient sword which was part of the professor’s collection, he made his way into the museum room. Everything seemed in order. The lid of the mummy case was back in place and the windows were shut, as he had left them after the others had departed.

He’s three thousand years old. ” The other boy shook his head. “He is gone,” he said. ” Pete exclaimed. ” “Is true,” the other boy said. ” Pete turned his head to look into the museum room.

They’ve abducted him too. ” He was about to turn back into the house when a slight groan reached his ears.
