still more strongly that the murderer
was most probably not native. A
Greek or an Italian. Genoese sailor
or a native of Southern France-say
a seafaring man out of Marseilles-
might have carried it.
"Oho!" said O'Rourke, speculative.
"A Frenchman, mayhap!"
He got up, satisfied that he would
learn nothing more by continuing his
-earch of the solicitors body. The
mental link between the fact Of the
crime and it's perpetrator was inevita-
BILE; O'Rourka believed implicitly that
Syrher had been murdered by Des
Trebes masquerading as de Hyeres."
And he could have done himself an
injury in the impotent fury aroused by
realization that he had permitted him
self to be so childishly hoodwinked,
despite the suspicious he had enter
tanned of the soi-disant de Hyeres."
He felt himself responsible, since he
had neglected to warn Sypher. 1t had
been on his tongues tip that after
noon, when Sypher himself had divert

his yarn after they had dined.

again. He stopped to spread his

ceived a shock Thrown carelessly
across the foot of the bed was wom-
ans evening wrap, while on the bureau
were gloves, long, white and fresh. but
wrinkled from recent wear, and silk
en- veil. Plainly these were the prop
erty of the fourth guest, whose place
had been set at the table below, but
of whose identity he had not been ap-
prised. Presumably, he reflected, she
(whoever she was) had been intended
as the fulfillment of Sypher's limited
surprise.
A guess formed vaguely in his brain,
and suddenly curdled into suspicion.
He took the gloves in his hand, ex-
amining them for marks of identified
ton, but found none. But in one cor
ner of the veil he discovered an en-
broidered initial-the letter B.

face. And poor, poor young woman!~
He was startled by the thought cs
her; for the first time it entered into
his comprehension, until then bounded
by the hard and fast fact of the MUIR
der. Now instantly his concern about
the crime was resolved into solicitud g
for the girl. What could have hap
pened to her? What had become Of
the servants, whose sudden desertion
had left the house SO sinisterly quiet?
Swept on by fervor of anxiety on
the girls behalf, O'Rourke glanced
quickly about the study to assure him.
self that he had overlooked nothing of
Importance, then passed out into the
main hall or eption-room. Here the
most searching inspection revealed
nothing amiss. He moved on to the
other room on the main floor and
found himself in the dining-room; here
again all was in perfect order.
The kitchen offices in the rear Of
the house next received his attention:
he found them completely untenanted,
having apparently been~abandoned in
desperate haste. Everything was in
disorder; the meal he had been in
vited to partake of was cooking to Gin
ders in pots and ovens; heavy Of

atmosphere. Half-stif1ed he left the
place as quickly as possible, returned
to the main hall and assembled to the
upper story.
Here he found three bed-chambers

Miss Pynsent, finally what was un-

reached the latter. And here he re-

CHAPTER XXI.

For several minutes O'Rourke re-
NAMED beside the body, making two
notable discoveries. For he was quick
to note the fact that one of the dead
mans hands was tightly clenched,
while the other lay half-open and
limp. The former was closed upon a
leather thong SO stout as to resist any
attempt to break it by main strength,
so firmly held that the murderer had
found it necessary to sever it with
a knife. The knife itself was there,
for proof of this; the sheen of light
upon it's mother-of-pearl handle caught
the lrishman's eye.
Picking it up, he subjected it to a
close examination that, however,
cleaned no information. II was SIM

worn, with blades of German STEEL 1t

him but one thing-that the assassin
had been European; native would
never have bothered with so ineffec-
tual thing when sturdy weapon,
serviceable alike for offense and de-
Tense, would have served it's purpose

From this he turned to the dagger
which he had taken from the body;

CHAPTER xxx.-(continued.)

Sypher had very explicitly named
his dinner hour, after the formal Eng
lish fashion, nowhere and by nobody
more rigidly observed than by the
Englishman in the Orient; Eight for
eight-thirty," he had said. And as
ORourke, a very dignifed and impos-
ing O'Rourke in his evening dress,
waited for a sampan on the lower
grating of the Poonah's passenger
gangplank he had a round three-quar-
tiers for an hour for leeway-ample leis-
ure for an interested inspection or
that part OF Rangoon lying between
the floating jetty and Syphers resi-
dence in a suburb near Dalhousle
Park.
Danny remained aboard ship only
temporarily, being instructed to follow
with O'Rourke's belongings to suitable
accommodations already engaged at u
hotel on the Strand, overlooking the
rOadStead;' from whose windows
O'Rourke was promising himself the
pleasure of watching the arrival of
the steamship bearing his wife to his
arms.
BLESS her dear face!" said he soft
ly. IT'S meself will be 6esolated if
she's not aboard that Messageries boat
due tomorrow-now that | can go
back to her, a man of property, no
longer a pauper neer-do-well! Think
of that, we lucky dog"
cIi tn, 10
the grating O'Rourkc let himself eau
tiously into it and incontin ntly col
lapsed upon the rear seat as the boat
slid away toward the shore lights,
yielding to the vigorous sweeps of the
single long oar welded by the Bur-
man in the bows.
Ashore, a tikkagharry caught him
up and bore him down the silent road
that winds between the Strand and
the rivers edge, then whipped into
,Mogul street, where the fluent tide
of life ran broad and deep beneath a
glare of light.
All too quickly the tikka whisked
out of the main channel of the city's
life, out beyond the Mohammedan
mosque and the Chetti's hall and the
Christian chapel, and into the soft,
dense night of the countryside-a
world of darkness sparsely studded with
dim, glowing windows; and all too
soon, again, 1t swung off from the
highway into private drive, crunched
over gravel and stopped before the
illuminated veranda of a native bun
galow.
O'Rourke got down. discharged the
driver and assembled the steps, little
puzzled to find no one waiting to well
come him, whether Sypher, Miss Pyn-
sent, or at worst a servant. Surely
he was expected. But nobody
appeared. The grating tires of the
departing tikkagharry had made noise
enough to apprise the household of
the arrival of guest, one would think.
Nevertheless O'Rourke remained un-
greeted

pretended to have lost his dog. and

beat of drum, reward OF Is louis to
whomsoever should bring 1t to him
The crier took care to mention all the
titles and academic honors OF the doc
tor. as we'll as his place OF residence.
He soon became the talk Of the town

clever fellow? He must be very rich,
for he offers Is louis for finding his
dog" The dog was not found. but pa
