o'Rourke's first fears were for the
woman. his first words a lie designed
to reassure her.

or not"
You're very thoughtful" she re-
turned. I'm sure you're right. Thank

He escorted her to her stateroom
and left her at the door, remarking It's

return in ten minutes-more speedily

long face.
Mrs. Prynne answered instantly bis

In the fraction Of a second that II WIS

Of the stateroom warm and bright
with electric light, and sitting theIe,
Cecile the maid. completely dressed,
wide awake and yigilant. The girl WAS
French and sullenly handsome after
her kind. O'Rourke got an impression
Of a resolute chin and resolute eyes
under level brows; and he did not in
the least doubt that she was quite pre-
pared to make good and effectuai use
Of the revolver which she held poln, ed
directly at the opening.
Why?
From her mistress poise, too-one
arm rigid at her side, the hand con-
oealed in the folds of her gown
U'Rourke OWNED that she was alert,
armed, on her guard no less than the
maid. But she left him no time to
puzzle over the mystery.
"Well?" she demanded breathlessly.
"'Tis as | thought, Mrs. Prynne A

Mrs Prynne's face clouded with dis
may. "How long-a day or two?" she
demanded.
"Mayhap," he replied, no less dis
consolate; "mayhap as much as a
week Faith, It's meself that would 1t

She regarded him thoughtfully for

he smiled.
The woman looked past him, down
the dusk Of the gangway, apparently
pondering her dilemma. What will
you do?" she inquired at length.
FAITH" he said, disturbed, that's
hard to say"
She flashed him an iFoHlic look.
you mean you are resigned to the In.
evitable?"
BE the powers!" he cried in 70
sentiment, Pm resigned to nothing
that doesn't please me. Is 1t that ye
ask me aid? Sure, If ye do, neither
the inevitable nor the impossible shall
keep ye from arriving at Bombay, and
on time!"

cHnPTER XIX.

The wanderCr had come upon Mrs.
Pryune but once since be had board
Cd the Panjnab. That morning. him
self early asti- because Of his vague
misgivings, he had discovered her on
the hurricane deck Of the liner; an in.
conspicuous, slight figure in the shad-
ow Of a nfe-tpat, leaning upon TIE
rail and gazing with (he fancied)
troubled eyes. out and across the
waste below Isnalia.
Though she must have been con
sclous Of nearing footsteps, she had
not stirred, and he had passed on,
gaining but a fugitive glimpse OF
profile sweetlT serious; nor had she
appeared either at breakfast or lunch
con. A circumstance which led him
to surmise that she did not court OBJ
servation: an idiosyncrasy which
seemed passing strange in a woman

He told himself that she wore an
air Of watchfulness, Of vague expec-
fancy, as though she. like himself.
feared some ufltoward mishap; that
she had the manner Of one definitely
apprehen%ive, constantly on guard
against sitae Unforeseen peril.
Now, he hzked himself, what could
It be7 What threatened herf And
why?
He dimly promised himself the
pleasure Of her acquaintance, relying
in the rapid intimacy that springs up
between strangers on long voyage,
with a still more indefinite intention
Of putting himself at her service in
Edy cause that she might be pleased
to name, Professionally: she must not
interfere with his plans for reaching
Rangoon "in ninety days"
That night he was hoping to find
the lady at dinner; but though the
ships company was small, he failed
to see her In the saloon, at either the
captains, the chief officers or the
doctors table; nor, 80 far as he could
determine, was she taking the air on
keck. Was 1t possible, then, that he
had been right, that she had reason
equally as compelling as his own for
secluding herselff Or, was It simply
(and infinitely more probably that
Mrs. Prynne was indisposed, an ener.
yated victim Of excessive heat?
The latter conjecture proved ap-
parently the right one, Mrs. Prynne
falling to appear during the two fol.
lowing days while the Panjnab was
rocking down the Red Sea channel;

pursue his inquiries: with an injunc-
tlon, however. prohibiting too lavish

This was entirely reasonable.

so altogether. had not the lady chosen
to take the air the night that the
Panjnab negotiated the Straits of

night, O'Rourke, himself wakeful. was
minded to sit up and watch the lights

IS A MINIATURE
 REPUBLICAN PARTY
so DECLARES J. B. COX
IN SPEAKING OF THE BULL MOOSE POLITICAL PARTY IN
 ARKANSAS.

Little Rock, Aug. John Bruce Cox, one of the leaders of the lilly white" bolting delegation from the Bull Moose convention, yesterday de- clared that the new party in this state will be no more than "minia- ture Republican party" since it has come out squarely in favor of giving prominence to the negro. The follow ing statement was given out after the convention by MT. Cox:
 "I am frank to state that I am keenly disappointed at the action of the convention, as 1 had hoped to see genuine new party organized.
 T had hoped that Democrats would receive some recognition, and that the negro would, for his own sake, as well as the sake of the party, be elim- mated from participation in the af fairs of the new organization. l had the honor of drafting the call for the state convention, and in it embodied the phrase that the old Republican party was so contrary to the ideals and traditions of the vast majority of the people of Arkansas as to render it an Impossible medium of reform. 1 did not think that anyone would mis- understand this as referring to any thing other than the negro question.
 T have some personal friends who assisted in rolling me, but 1 think that they made a grave mistake in the attitude they have assumed, for, as it now stands, no other party in the state is so squarely aligned in fa- vor of giving prominence and position to the negro as is this new party. It is now made up mostly of repudiated Republicans and negroes, and by the stand it has taken at the outset, 1t has closed the door of hope to itself and succeeded in bringing about an
 institution which is no more than miniature Republican party with no hope, under any circumstances, of be-
 ing anything more than 'represen- tative of Rome in the provinces.
 "The convention showed by it's ac- tion that it cared more for the SUD- port of negroes than for the endorse ment of the young Republicans and Democrats of progressive sentiment in the state, for they turned down our delegation, composed of Il Democrats and II Republicans, in favor of one made up of white and colored men. They have chosen their bed, and can now lie on it"
