dressing for appearance in the restaurant
below when the sound of a girlish voice
singing attracts his attention. Leaning
out on the balcony he sees a beautiful
girl who suddenly disappears. He PUSHES
TO the corridor to see a neatly gowned
form enter the elevator and pass from
sight.
CHAPTER TI.-O'Rourke's mind Is
filled with thoughts of the girl. and when
he goes to the gaming table he allows his
remarkable winnings to accumulate i'm

ing him. One is the Hon. BERTHE Glynn,
while his companion Is Viscount Des
Trebes, a noted duelist. When O'Rourke
leaves the table the viscount tells him he
represents the French government and
that he has been directed to O'Rourke as
man who would undertake a secret
mission.

CHAPTER III,

AS he stepped out Of the lift Colonel
O'Rourke remarked light in his
room, visible through the transom
over the door.
"The femme de chambre," he
thought. "Sure and the poor things
still busy trying to clear up. >"
To the contrary, he found the door
fast. "'Tis careless she was to leave
the light on" he observed, fitting his
key in the lock.
If thoughtless in that one way, the
woman had fulfilled the letter of her
word in the other 1t was with COM
prehensive relief (sinca he anticipated
a caller that he found the room once
again presentable.
But one thing surprised him; and
more surprising still was the fact that
his ordinarily Indifferent eye should
have detected it at the first glance.
He had indeed hardly entered before
he became aware of square of white
paper tucked in the corner of the bu-
reau mirror.
''The divvle, now!" he greeted it.
That's curious. Could one of
me many admirers have bribed the
femme de chambre to bring a note to
me?" He chuckled, holding to the
tight a much soiled envelope, grimy
with the marks of many fingers. plas-
tered with stamps and black with
postage marks and substitute adj
dresses, having evidently been for
warded over half the world before it
reached the addressee: who was,
in bold hand, Colonel Terence
O'Rourke."
He whistled low over this, examin.
ing it intently, infinitely less concern
ed with it's contents than with the
manner by which it had reached him.

of Rangoon, the original address, the
Cercle Militaire. his club in Paris.
Thence, apparently, it had sought him

and fnally-after half a dozen other
addresses-"C. of Nine. O'Rourke, Ho-
tel Carlton, London" The London
postmark was indecipherable. {.
He found himself trembling violent
ly. BY one hand alone could this
have reached him, since the post had
not brought it to Monte Carlo.
He recalled that woman's voice which
had so stirred him, the woman of the
Casino whose bearing had seemed to
him so familiar
Some one tapped on the door; he
smothered curse of annoyance, and
went to answer, thrusting the letter
into his pocket.

Almost a Bad Wreck.

Two small boys, Leonard McKeal,
IL years old, and Floyd Cauthron, II
years old, placed a number of ties on
the Frisco railroad track, a mile west
of Rich Hill late Wednesday evening
and awaited the arrival of the Frisco
west bound passenger hoping to see
some fun when the engine came in
contact with the obstruction.
However, the lads ambitions were
shattered as the train crew saw the
ties piled across the track and stopped
the train in time to avoid wreck,
and also captured the would-be train
wreckers. The boys were not locked
up but returned to their homes in
this city.
The two lads seemed wholly I'M
conscious of the seriousness of their
'joke" and confessed that they
wanted to see some fun and had
placed the obstruction on the track
for that purpose. Rich Hill Review.
