In her eyes, intent upon his, be
fancied that he recognized an amused
flicker, with, perhaps, a trace of deep
err emotion: the kindling interest of
woman in strong man, with whose
signals he was not unfamiliar. Pride
and his conceit stirred in his breast.

CHAPTER XIX.

The wanderer had come upon Mrs.
Prynne but once since he had board
ed the Panjnab. That morning, HIM
self early astir 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 life-boat, leaning upon the
rail and gazing with Che fancied)
troubled eyes, out and across the
waste below Islnalia.
Though She must have been con-
scious OF nearing footsteps, she had
not stirred, and ne had passed on,
gaining but a fnsr1ve glimpse OF a
profile sweetly serious, nor had she
appeared either at breakfast or lunch
con. circumstance which led him
to surmise that she did not court OBJ
,servation: an idiosyncrasy which
seemed passing strange in a woman
so fair
He told himself that she wore an
air of watchfulness, of vague expec-
fancy, as though she, like himself,
feared some untoward mishap; that
she had the manner of one definitely
apprehensive, constantly on guard
against some unforeseen peril.
Now, he asked himself, what could
it be? What threatened her? 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
any cause that she might be pleased
to name, Professionally: she must not
interfere with his plans for reaching
Rangoon Sin 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, so far as he could
determine, was she taking the air on
deck. Was it possible. then, that he
had been right, that she had a reason
equally as compelling as his own for
secluding herself? Or, was it simply
(and infinitely more probably that
Mrs. Prynne was indisposed. an ener'
waited victim of excessive heat?
The latter conjecture proved ap-
parently the right one, Mrs. Prynne
failing to appear during the two fol.
lowing days, while the Panjnab was
rocking down the Red Sea channel;

CHAPTER Xxx.

O'Rourke's first fears were for the
woman, his first words lie designed
to reassure her.
"What-what does It mean?" she
gasped family, her face as white as
marble, her eyes wide and terrified
"Sure, I'm thinking tits nothing at
ALL" he answered readily, with smile
amending, nothing Of any great con-
sequence, that is to say. Permit me to

turned. I'm sure you're right. Thank
you"
He escorted her to her stateroom
and left her at the door, remarking it's

return in ten minutes-more speedily
if possible. He was back In five. with

In the fraction of second that it was
wide, however, O'Rourke saw one side
of the stateroom warm and bright
with electric light, and sitting there,
Cecile the maid. completely dressed,
wide awake and vigilant. The girl was
French and sullenly handsome after
her kind. O'Rourke got an impression
of 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 effectual use
of the revolver which she held pointed
directly at the opening.
Why?
From her mistress poise, too-one
arm rigid at her side, the hand con-
cealed in the folds of her gown
O'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.

demanded.
"Mayhap." he replied no less dis

he smiled.
The woman looked past him, down
the dusk OF the gangway, apparently
bordering her dilemma. what will
you do?" she inquired at length.
"Faith!" he said, disturbed, that's
hard to say
She flashed him an ironic look.
"You mean you are resigned to the in
evitable?"
BE the powers!" he cried in re-
sentiment, I'm resigned to nothing
that doesn't please me. Is it that ye
ask me aid? Sure, if We do, neither
the inevitable nor the impossible shall
keep We from arriving at Bombay, and

TEDDY RE|TERATEs DENIAL

Oyster Bay, N. Y-Col Roosevelt
sat on the porch at Sycamore Hill
for an hour and half and dictated
q statement in reply to the testimony
of John d. Archbold before the senate
investigating committee.
He reiterated his declaration that he
knew nothing of contribution by Mr..
Archbold or the Standard Oil Co. to
the Republican campaign of 1904; de-
clared that he did not "for one mo-
ment believe that Mr.. Archbold's tes-
timony is truthful; and charged Mr..
Archbold with wicked assault on a
dead man."
He added that during many calls
which Mr.. Archbold made upon him
while he was president to urge him
not to prosecute the Standard Oil Co.,
Mr.. Archbold never referred to any
contribution to his campaign fund,
and concluded with the suggestion
that the senate committee should
make both Mr. Archbold and Senator
Penrose testify at once concerning
their relations while Mr.. Penrose was
member of the Industrial commission
In his last word Col. Roosevelt
thanked both Messrs. Archbold and
Penrose for making it clear beyond
possibility of doubt that / am the man

country most dread in public life"
