secretary had obliged him.
"Ye didn't happen to leave him
alone in this room?"
The secretary, plainly much per-
picked by this odd catechism, ad.
mitted that such had been the case;
the pursuit of the desired data had
necessitated his absence from the Gov.
ernor's room for a matter Of some ten
minutes.
"But ye say ye can put your hand
on this package?"
"But certainly, monsieur"
Would ye mind making sure tits

waiting, perhaps"
With alacrity and a smile that de
precated his visitors anxiety over sc
trifling a matter, the secretary rose
went to the safe and confidently
enough thrust hand into one Of the
pigeon-holes. The hand came forth
empty. A frowp of bewilderment
clouded the secretary's face. ut must

"Ye are very courteous, monsieur

This he did-in two hours. The

that through some culpable negligence
1t must have been misplaced. An eI'

ton to ascend to the Governors Office
and state his business-if he cared
to do soto the gubernatorial secre

Upon consideration he accepted, and
q little later was seated in broad
low, cool room in the old Moorish
palace, the affable secretary
young, lively and engaging French
man-solicitously sounding him as tc
his errand
1t was obviously the Office of man
pf great affairs, presenting an eminent
Iy business-like look for all its ORR
entail setting. To one side, set in the
solid masonry of the wall, was a mas
sive safe with doors ajar, exposing q
cavity we'll stocked with documents
It occurred to the adventurer that
such a safe might easily have been
the place of security selected by the
Governor-General for anything he held
In trust. He built upon it theory

The latter regretted excessively
hat his excellency was absent: his

"You know nothing of this package,

To the contrary: the secretary knew

But certainly; the vicomte was a

It was high noon when o'RourSe
drove up before the Palace Of the

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

"Thank ye; 1 shan't be back" re-
turned O'Rourke grimly; and went
away, downcast for the first time
since the inception Of the adventure.

lieve the truth when they slapped me

:" But he had no vocabulary ade.
quate to the task Of expressing his

Disconsolate, conceiving that he had
proven himself blind, egregious fool,
he plodded with heavy steps and a
hanging head back to his hotel; where
the crowning stroke of the day was
presented to him in the shape of a
note, by the hand Of black Bisllri
porter.

A trap? A subterfuge? A trick to
throw him off the scent whilst the two
blackguards escaped with their booty?
The adventurer frowned darkly over
1t, dubious. Then, in a flush Of reck-
lessness, he seized a sheet of paper
from a nearby desk, scrawled
formal acceptance of the strange invi-
tation, and handed it to the Biskri boy.
"All to gain, naught to lose," he sum-
med up the state of mind which had
dictated his response; and at six
thirty, with brow and eye serene, he
left the hotel in a carriage bound for
the suburb of st. Eugene-and heaven
knew where besides!

mead of the stairway and came tum.

Heavy planks for the skidding were
placed as far as the landing in the
stairway and the two thousand
pounds of iron and steel came Gown
that skid at rapid rate striking the
landing with tremendous force. The
landing was broken through, but the
sleepers were strong enough to stand
the impact and on it went down the
steps humping from one 70 the other,
breaking the edge of the steps and
springing the steps till the base
board stunning along the wall were
split, finally landing clear out on the
walk.
The concrete walk and the tile
landing at the foot of the steps were
both broken, but the safe seems not
to have been injured.

The principal question, however,

Under the existing condition II is
