rooted IN action. For although It was
apparent that she had been caught OF
her guard, wholly unprepared against
assault, and while she struggled fierce
~ to break the lascar's hold, the wom-
an still uttered no cry. A single
scream would have brought her aid;
yet she held her tongue
The two, the woman's slight. white
figure and the lascar's gaunt and sim
envy one, strained and fought, swaying
silently In the shadows, tensely, with
the effect Of fragment Of some dis
ordered nightmare. But then, as the
lascar seemed about to overpower his
victim, O'Rourke, electrified, sprang
upon the mans back. With one strong
arm deity he embraced the fellow, an
elbow beneath his chin forcing his
head up and back. With the other
hand O'Rourke none too gently tore
away an arm encircling the woman.
Then wrenching the two apart, he
sent knee crashing into the small of
the lascar's back, all but breaking him
in two, and so flung him sprawling
Into the scuppers.
Without word the man slid upon
his shoulders a full half-dozen feet,
while O'Rourke had a momentary
glimpse Of his face in the moonlight
-dark-skinned and sinister of express
sion with its white, glazing eyeballs.
Then, in one bound, he was on his
feet again and springing lithely back to
the attack: and as he came on a jag
ged gleam of moonlight ran like light
ming down the sinuous and formidable
length Of a kris, most deadly Of
knives.
O'Rourke fell back a pace or two.
His own hands were empty; he had
nothing but naked fists and high cour-
age to pit against the lascar and his
kris. Keenly alert. he threw himself
into pose of defence.
But O'Rourke had forgotten the
woman; it was enough that he had
made possible her escape, and he had
no thought other than she had fed. 1t
was, therefore, with as much surprise
as relief that he caught the glimmer
Of her white figure as she thrust her.
self before him and saw the lascar
bring up in the middle of a leap, his
nose not an inch from the muzzle Of
an army Webley of respect-compelling
caliber.
simultaneously, he heard her voice,
clear and incisive If low of tone:
Drop that knife"
The kris shivered upon the deck.
Faith" murmured the Irishman,
and what manner of woman is this,
now?"
The lascar stood as rigid as though
carven out of stone. long, gaunt legs
shining softly brown beneath his cool,

per half of his body lost in the shadow
of the deck, gray blur standing for
his turban.
O'Rourke stepped forward, with
quick movement kicking the kris over
board, and would have seized the fell
low but that the woman interviewed.
She said decisively: IF you please
no"
Bewildered. O'Rourke hesitated. Il
beg your pardon" he said in con-
fusion.
She did not reply directly; her at
tention was all for the lascar, whom
her revolver still covered. To him,
"Go!" she said sharply, with signifi-
cant motion of the weapon.
The lascar stepped back, with a sim
gle wriggle losing himself in the dense
shadows.
ORourke fairly gasped amazement
| at the woman, who, on her part, re-
treated slowly until her back touched
the railing. She remained very quiet
| and thoroughly mistress of herself, be-
traying agitation only by slightly
quickened breathing and cold pallor.
Her eyes racked the deck on either
hand: it was plain that she had no
faith in the lascar, perhaps appreheud-
ed his return; yet her splendid con-
troll OF her nerves evoked the irish
man open admiration.
Faith" he cried, breaking the
tense silence, "'tis yourself shames

laughed slightly. Thank YOU" she

"A mistaken" she echoed; and then,
thoughtfully: mo, shouldn't call it

"Ye will not" he cried, astounded.

/ During the past fiscal year more than
1900 bodies were kept at the morKue.
Last month 136 bodies occupied the
eerie refrigerators. But few unknown
bodies are found. with the exception OF
those OF infants. There has been only
one unknown" case in several months.
Although the names of the persons are
usually known. a large percentage of
the bodies are never claimed.
The bodies are kept at the morgue
on an average OF q week. The length
of time. however, depends entirely upon
the condition OF the bodies Several
years ago a boy was kept for forty 1--WE
days. This is a record length of time.
The body kept in fairly good condition,
and II was believed that some one
would eventually call at the morKue
and claim It. Forty-five days the
morguemaster waited. and finally q
grief-stricken parent passed into the
chamber OF death, and. gazing into the
chill apartment where the boy lay
Identified the body as that OF q son.
Three years ago q woman was kept for
twenty-one days. The woman when
brought TO the Morgue ftas neatly
dressed In rather costly fearing ap-
parel. and it was the opinion OF the
morguemaster that the body would soon
be claimed. At the end OF twenty-one
days, decomposition was discovered TO
be advancing rapidly, and the body was
buried. Several days later a man called
at the morgue to learn II the body Of
woman was there. He described the
woman, and the morguemaster at once
realized that the woman sought was the
woman who had just been buried. The
body was exhumed, and was Identified
