CHAPTER XII.

Early in the dull hot dawn a clat.
ter of winches and a hustle OF
shadowy figures on the deck Of q
small trading vessel, which had spent
the night between the moles of the
harbor Of Algers, announced that the
anchor was being weighed.
While this was taking place small
barbor boat, manned by two native
watermen and carrying a single pas
senger, put out from the steamship
quay, the oarsmen rowing with will
that limited at premium having been
placed upon their speed. The coaster
was barely under way, moving slow
ly in the water, when the boat ran
alongside. A line was thrown from
the ship and caught by one of the
watermen, the boat hauled close in,
and its passenger taken on deck.
An hour later, pipe between his
teeth, O'Rourke stood by the helms
man, staring back over the heaving
expanse, swiftly widening, that lay be-
tween the coaster and the Algerian
littoral. The world behind was gray
and wan, but the skies ahead were
golden. "a fair omen!" breathed the
adventurer hopefully.
The bulk of the great ruby in his
pocket brought his thought back in a
wide swing to the girl who would be
waiting for him at Rangoon. Faith,
and must be getting below and max
ing dab at writing letter to her.
That was nothing"
He nodded with meaning towards
the bold profile of Algiers.
An i'll wind it was that blew Colonel
O'Rourke into Athens. 1t has
blown itself out and been forgotten
this many day, praises be! but that,
once it had whisked him thither, i'm
mediately it subsided and stubbornly
1t refused to lift again and watt him
forth upon his wanderings, in the
course OF time came to be matter of
grievous concern to the Irishman.
All Of which is equivalent to saying
that the dropping breeze of his
finances died altogether upon his
arrival in the capital of Greece. He
disembarked from coasting steamer
in the harbor of the Piraeus encum-
bered with a hundred francs or so, an
invincible optimism, trunk and a
kit-box, and a kings ransom on his
person in the shape Of the Pool of
Flame; which latter was hardly to
be esteemed negotiable asset. There
after followed days of inaction, while
his hopes diminished.
Nearly two months had elapsed
since he had promised two people
himself and one infinitely more dear
to him-to be in Rargoon in ninety
days. In little more than a month
she'd be waiting for him there. ..
And where would he be? Still was
he far by many a long and weary
mile from the first gateway to the
East-Suez; and still he lacked many
an aloof and distant dollar the funds
to finance him thither.
II only he could contrive to get to
Alexandria! Danny was there
Danny Malone, he of the red, red
head and the ready fists; Danny, who
held the o'Rourke as only second to
the Pope in dignity and Importance;
who had been o'Rourke's valet in a |
happier time and Of late in his hum
bier way an adventurer like his mas
ter. He was there. In Alexandria, |

from o'Rourke long since, at q time

of course, 1 had already surmised.
Afterward the secretary was
absent, the safe open, the name on the
packet stared nae in the face. What
could do?'
Precisely. I'm convinced that be-
ing what ye are, ye did only what ye
could"
The vicomte bowed, amusement
fickering in his glance. Touched"
he admitted. well I
have the jewel, you the information"
"And ye have to propose"
ga plan after your own heart: DO
your courage the credit to believe it,
monsieur. With another man, whom
had studied less exhaustively, I
should propose combination OF
forces, division of profits" O'Rourke
made an impatient gesture. But with
you, Colonel O'Rourke, no. / esteem
your address and determination too
highly and-pardon me If l speak
plainly-I despise and hate you too
utterly to become willingly your part

go on-I begin to like ye better.
Ye grow interesting
"That does not interest me. :.
The situation, then, is simplified. Es-
sentially it involves two propositions:
first, we cannot combine; second, di-
vided we both fail. While both Of US
live, mon colonel, the Pool Of Flame
will never earn its value"
"'Tis meself takes exception to
that. Let me once get me hands on
the stone, monsieur, and I'll back me-
self against a dozen vicomtes-and
honorables."
"While I live" the Frenchman stat
ed, unrufled; "you will not touch the
Pool of Flame; while you live, can
not dispose of 1t to the best ad-
vantage. 1t would seem that one or
the other of us must die"
81 am armed" remarked O'Rourke
slowly, "if ye mean ye've brought me
here to murder me"
Monsieur speaks-pardon-crude-
ly. I asked you, you came of your
own will--to fight for the Pool of
Flame" o'Rourke started; CLINT Of
understanding danced in his eager
eyes. T see you catch my meaning.
What 1 have to propose is this: you
will take pen and paper and write
the name of the person who offers the
reward, with his address. This you
will enclose in an envelope, seal, and
place in your pocket. The Pool OF
Flame-you see I trust you-is here"
O'Rourke got upon his feet with an
exclamation; the vicomte was play
ing a bold hand. Before the Irishman
had grasped his intention he had
thrown upon the table ruby as large,
or larger, than an egg; an exquisite
Jewel, superbly cut and polished.
Fascinated, o'Rourke remembered
himself and sat down.
"You see." The vicomte's cold in-
cisive tones cut the silence. Slowly
he extended hand and took up the
great ruby. replacing it in his pocket.
There is," he said evenly, level
stretch Of grass beyond the veranda-
The night, I admit, is dark, but the
light from these long windows should
be sufficient for Us. II you slay me,

Confederate Reunion.

Macon. Ga, Feb. ga big fea-
Ture in the work of preparation for
the coming of the reunion is that OF
the ladies, and it is largely due to
their efforts that the campaign OF
prep 1ration is so far advanced this
early. Daily they have canVassed
houses seeking accommodations Tor
the thousands who will visit here,
and it is largely due to their inGen-
uity and scheminG that many OF the
successful benefits for the Reunion
fund have been given. Already
they are planning round of social
events for the visiting ladies who
will accompany their husbands and
fathers. The veterans and Macon
will be a veritable social Whlrl from
May 7th until May 9th.
Nor is this activity on the part OF
the ladies confined to the present
times. for during the civil war they
were always the boulder upon whom
the weary. the weak and the lame
could lean. Apropos of this might
be mentioned the society which was
formed in Macon during the civil
war. This was known as the La
dies Soldiers Relief Society" and
was organized with the following
officers: Mrs. Washington Poe, Pres
idept Mrs.. Thomas Hareman, Vice
President: Miss M. E. Bass, Secre-
tary, and Miss Julia Wrieley, Treas
,urer. The first public meeting was
held NAY |, 1861.

call your attention TO this particu-
lar case: Mr.. P. B. Heefner, who is

the presence of several people how
his little five year old daughter has
been pale and puny for the past

that this child had worms. but
nothing seemed to be able to expel
them. Mr.. Heefner stated that he
procured one box CT Globe Tonic
Worm Lozengers and after giving
his little Girl just three doses she
expelled about a hundred worms

these parents are.

To Test the Rights
of Locker Clubs

Atlanta. Feb. 29-Within t h e
next few days not less than half q
dozen social clubs in Atlanta will
have opened locker features, undt r

authority, proceeding on the az.
vice of counsel under the hypothesis
that the city has no police auihOri-
ty to close up a locker club which
conforms with all the rules and
regulations set down by the state
The theory is that the city of Al
lanta can tax such locker clubs, but
tlat it cannot lose them or refuse
to accept the city tax when they

mains wi hin it's right under the

e cubs as elsewhere, SO far as
The right to insist on the perserva-
ton OF good order is concerned.
There is nothing surrepstitious
about the manner i'll which the new
clubs are proceeding. in fact they
have invited the inspection of the
city authorities on the day when
they open, and the whole question
involved will be one purely of the
construction of the law and the
rights of the cityin the premises. The
final decision will probably serve as
precedent for other such cases in
other Georgia cities.
