CHAPTER X.

It was high noon when O'Rourke
drove up before the Palace of the
Governor-General. Weary, dusty and
travel-stained as he was, he hesitated
no instant about sending In his name
and requesting an interview with the
representative of Frances sovereign
power.
Disappointment awaited him at the
very outset; disappointment in the
shape of word that his excellency was
away. But the name of O'Rourke was
one we'll and f%avorably known in the
province, and secured him an invita-
ton to ascend to the Governors office
and state his business-if he cared
to do soto the g~ubernatorial secre-
tary.
Upon consideration he accepted, and
a little later was seated in a broad,
low, cool room in the old Moorish
palace. the affable secretary a

Tho story opens at Monte Carlo with
Col. Terence o'Rourke, a military free
lance and something. of a gambler, In his
beautiful girl who suddenly enters the
elevator n passes from sight. At the
gaming table O'Rourke notices two men
watching him.. One is the Hon. BERTHE
Glynn, while his companion Is Viscount
Des Trebes, a duelist. The ~viscount tells
him the French government has directed
him to O'Rourke as a man who would
undertake a secret mission. At his apart
ment, O'Rourke. who had agreed to un-
dertake the mission. finds a mysterious
letter. The viscount arrives, hands a
sealed package to O'Rourke. who is not
to open 1t until on the ocean. A pair of
dainty slippers are seen protrudtng from
under q doorway curtain. The Irishman
finds the owner of the mysterious feet to
be his wife. Beatrix, from whom he had
run away a year previous. They are
reconciled, and opening the letter he finds
that a Rangoon law firm offers him

Pool Of Flame and left to him by a dy-
ing friend. but now in keeping of n

CHAPTER XII.

The Villa d'Orleans proved to be a
handsome house of white stone, stu
ated in extensive and well-groomed
grounds, on a height outside the town,
overlooking the Mediterranean. So
complete and elegant seemed the es-
Enlistment, indeed, viewed from with
out or within, that O'Rourke's suspic-
ions were stimulated and his certainty
that he was being played with resolv-
ed Into a pretty definite conviction,
as he waited In the broad hallway.
1t was uncomfortable that a man like
Des Trebes, so reduced as to be un-
der the necessity of stealing-even OF
stealing SO considerable a sum as a
hundred thousand pounds-could main
tain, so imposing an establishment.
His uneasy conjectures We're inter-
rupted when the vicolnte appeared to
welcome his guest. Suave, dressed
properly for the occasion, showing
traces neither of fatigue nor of his
antipathy for O'Rourke, blandly ignor-
ing the peculiarities of the situation
which his own inexplicable invitation
had created, he presented himself in
the guise OF a gracious host.
Monsieur" he declared, bowling to
O'Rourke (but with a care not to
offer his hand), "overpowers me with
his c~ondescension and p~unctuality. l
can only regret"-with a significant
glance at the bulge of the adventur-
er's coat-"that he thought it wise to
come armed"
otis a habit I find 1t hard to break
meself Of" O'Rourke offered the in
adequate explanation in a dry and
coolish tone.
1T was unnecessary, I assure mon
sieur."
Faith, I'm convinced twill prove
So"
Tactfully the vicomte ~digressed
from the unpleasant topic. II have
asked you here, monsieur" he said
with an air of depreciation, ITO confer
with me on business after we have
dined. l trust the arrangement suits
your convenience"
I'm content, monsieur"
Il regret that circumstances pre-
vent me from receiving you under
my roof-tree. The Villa d'Orleans
is the property OF a dear friend,
merely loaned me during my stay in
Algiers.'
"Ye're fortunate in your choice of
friends"
Over his next remark Des Trebes
faltered a trife, with a curious smile
that O'Rourke failed to fathom. Mon
sieur Glynn," he said, "is-ah-a trifie
indisposed-the sun. Nevertheless, 1
believe he will join us during dinner,
II you will be so kind as to excuse
him."
81 could do very well without him."

diagnosed the "indisposition" as plain

ORourke with a curt nod and a surly
look, then slumped Imply into a chair

drank greedily and with a sullen air,

not u%nsteadily filling it) without re-.
gard for either Of his companions.
When the cloth was cleared and
the servants had withdrawn, Des Ire.
oes definitely cast aside pretence. A
cigarette between his lips. he lounged
in his chair, eyelids dropping over
eyes that never left his guests while
either spoke. A cynical smile pre-
faced his first words.
