to deepen his embarrassment and con-
sternation. Il trust | didn't hurt We,
Mr. Glynn."
"Oh, no-not at ALL" stammered the
Englishman. Not in the least No"
He looked right and left of
C'Rourke for way round him. found
himself with no choice but to retreat
and lost his presence of mind COM
pletely. II say" he continued des-
perately, Il say. have you a match ?"
Possibly conceded O'Rourke.
But I've yet to meet him. OF this
We may feel sure. however: if \ have,
It's neither yourself nor Des Trebes.
Now run along and figure it out for
yourself-what I'm meaning. Good
night"
He brushed past the man, leaving
him astare in sudden pallor, and went
his way, more than q little disguised
with himself for his lack of discre-
ton. AS matters turned out, however,
he had little to reproach himself with;
for his outbreak served to keep young
Glynn at respectful distance
throughout the remainder of the voy-
age. They met but once more, and
on that occasion the Englishman be-
haved himself admirably according to
the tenets of his caste-met O'Rourke's
challenging gaze without a flicker of
recognition. looked him up and down
calmly with the deadly ennuied air
peculiar to the underdone British
youth of family and social position.
and wandered calmly away.
O'Rourke watched him out Of sight,
smile Of appreciation curving his
lips and tempering the perturbed and
dangerous light in his eyes. There's
stuff in the lad, after ALL he con-
coded without a grudge. ''if he can
carry a situation off like that I'm
doubling not, at all that something
might be whipped out of him, if he
weren't what he's made himself-a
slave to whisky"
For all of which appreciation, how
ever, he soon wearied of Mr.. Glynn.
During the first day ashore it was not
so bad; there was something amusing
in being so openly logged by we'll
set-up young Englishman who had
quite ceased to disguise his interest.
But after that his shadowy surveillance
proved somewhat distracting to a man
busy with important affairs. And to-
ward evening of the second day
O'Rourke lost patience
All day long in the sun, without
respite he had knocked about from pill
lar to post of Algiers, seeking news of
Chambret; and not until the eleventh
hour had he secured the information
he needed. Then, hurrying back to
his hotel he made arrangements to
have his luggage cared for during an
absence of indeterminate duration,
hastily crammed few indispensables
into kit box, and having dispatched
that to the railway terminal, sought
the restaurant for an early meal.
In the act of consuming his soup he
became aware that the Honorable
BERTHE, in a dinner coat and state OF
fidgets, had wandered down the outer
corridor, passed at the restaurant door
and espied his quarry. The fact that
O'Rourke was dining with one eye
on the clock and in a dust-proof, dust
colored suit of drill, was enough to
disturb seriously the poise of the Eng
lishman.
Evaporation stirred in O'Rourke.
He eyed the young man rather morose-
ly throughout the balance of his meal,

stare of the adventurer and noticed
the tense lines of his lips.

crisply, disregarding the others re-
mark entirely. that it might be of in
terest to We to save We bit of bother

Biskra by tonight's train. 1t leaves in
ten minutes. so I'll have to forego the

Glynn got grip on himself anc
pulled together the elements of his
manhood. He managed to infuse blank
insolence into his stare. and said
"Ow?' with that singularly maddening
infection of which the Englishmap
alone is master; as who shohld say:
Why the dooce d'you annoy me with
your baliy plans?"
Don't believe | know you. do l?''
he drawled.
Il don't believe We do, me lad"
Cant say l wish to very badly,

81 believe that" O'Rourke chuckled
grimly.
The meaning in his tone sent the
blood into the young mans face, q
fiery flood of resentment
''Oh, I'm not afraid of you, y'know, >,
he said, bristling. "Of course you're
not going to Biskra, or you wouldn't
tell me so. But if you do, shall make
1t my business to find out and follow
by the next train-bringing Des
Trebes with me-"
"Oh, will We SO? Ye mean to warn
me he's in Algeria, too?"
His boats due now; I'm expecting
him at any moment, if you wish tC

was angering the young man and rem
dering him reckless. You'll be glad
to know you've made a DEM ass OF
yourself-if you really are going te
Biskra."
Praise from Sir Hubert
"Oh, don't you think | mind giving

don't mind telling you that we mean
to have that ruby, Des Trebes and l.
and we know where it is. You're only
taking needless trouble by interior

Truth was speaking from the bottom
of the absinthe tumbler O'Rourke's
brows went up and he whistled noise
lessly, for he realized that at least
Glynn believed what he was admit
