"Use it on this--and I will show you." "I will use it upon one of the ladala--" she began eagerly.
The exaltation dropped from him; there was a touch of horror in the eyes he turned to her; her own dropped before it.
"It shall be as you say," she said hurriedly.

She drew the shining cone from her breast; levelled it at the vase.

The green ray leaped forth, spread over the crystal, but before its action could even be begun, a flash of light shot from O'Keefe's hand, his automatic spat and the trembling vase flew into fragments.
