CHAPTER xI.

-
The Villa d'Orleans proved to be a
handsome house of white stone, stu
ated in extensive and well-groomed
grounds, on height outside the town
overlooking the Mediterranean. So
complete and elegant seemed the es
tablishment, indeed, viewed from with
out or within, that O'Rourke's suspic-
ions were stimulated and his certainty
that he was being played with resolv-
ed into a pretty definite conviction,
as he waited In the broad hallway.
It was inconceivable that man like
Des Trebes, so reduced as to be un-
der the necessity of .stealing-even OF
stealing so considerable sum as a
hundred thousand pounds-could main
tain so imposing an establishment.
His uneasy conjectures were inter
rupted when the vicomte appeared to
welcome his guest. Suave, dressed
properly for the occasion, showing
traces neither of fatigue nor of his
antipathy for O'Rourke, blandly ignor-
ing the peculiarities of the situation
which his own inexplicable invitation
had created, he presented himself in
the guise of gracious host.
Monsieur" he declared, bowling to
O'Rourke (but with a care not to
offer his hand), "overpowers me with
his condescension and punctuality.
can only regret''-with a significant
glance at the bulge of the adventur-
er's coat-"that he thought 1t wise to
come armed"
TITS a habit find 1t hard to break
mesef Of" O'Rourke offered the in
adequate explanation in a dry and
coolish Tone
1t was unnecessary, l assure mon
sieur."
Faith, I'm convinced twill prove
So"
Tactfully the vicomte digressed
from the unpleasant topic Il have
asked you here. monsieur" he said
witt an air of depreciation, ito confer
with me on business after we have
dined trust the arrangement suits
your convenience"
I'm content, monsieur"
Il regret that circumstances pre-.
vent me from receiving you under
my own roof-tree. The Villa d'Orleans
is the property of dear friend,
merely loaned me during my stay in
Algiers.'
"Ye're fortunate in your choice of
friends"
Over his next remark Des Trebes
faltered tribe, with. curious smile
that O'Rourke failed to fathom. Mon
sieur Glynn," he said, ''is-ah-a trife
indisposed-the sun. Nevertheless,
believe he Will join us during dinner,
If you will be so kind as to excuse
him"
81 could do very well without him. ;"
