Chapter I. THE "SINGAS" SONG
AN American man of letters once said that, if a man built a better mousetrap, the world would beat a
path to his door.

Pasha Bey was like that. His output was not mousetraps, but it was the best of its kind. Being modern,
Pasha Bey had become president of a vast organization which specialized in his product. The fame of
Pasha Bey was great. From all of Egypt, men beat a path to his door, which was likely to be anywhere in
Alexandria. They came to buy his product, of course.

Pasha Bey's product was murder!

Just now, Pasha Bey was about to close a deal. He was easing up a dark street just off the Place
Mehemet Ali, the center of the life of Alexandria

Pasha Bey was a large bag of bones. He wore a flowing burnoose. The burnoose was more flowing than
the usual one, so as to conceal the fact that two long-bladed singas were in sheaths strapped to Pasha
Bey's bony, naked upper arms.
He also carried two modern, silenced American sixshooters, one on either hip. A silk cord, excellent for
strangling purposes, was fastened inside the burnoose with a single thread; so it could be wrenched free
quickly.

Pasha Bey always went well heeled with tools of his trade.
