At small hour Of the morning they

successful in causing themselves to be
transhipped, bag and baggage, to the
twinscrew steamship Poonah, which
vessel rode at anchor in midstream.
Toward eight o'clock Of the white
hot forenoon that followed, O'Rourke,
In the shadow Of long-boat on the
Poonah's promenade deck. stood ffn-
ishing matutinal cigar and watching
narrowly tender ferry out final
boatload Of passengers from the east

Slowly the tender forged toward the
steamers side; and as 1t drew near,
ORourRe forgot to smoke and bent
over the rail to inspect with unrenit-
fdng interest those upon its decks.
The forward deck Of the tender held
his regard but briefly; those who
waited there, cycling impassively the
towering fanks Of the liner, were one

It was night when O'Reurke awoke;
be found himself staring wide-eyed at
the ceiling Of the stateroom, upon
which rippled wavering lines Of light
reflected through the porthole by the
waters without. His mind for the
time was blank: he was merely con-
scious that he was rested and very
thirsty and that the ship was mo-
honless.

God in Heaven!" cried O'Rourke,
stupefied and agape; for Danny, hay
ing worked up to his climax, had dra-
matically whipped from his pocket and
cast upon the table between them the
Pool of Flame.
He looked up, blind to the glee and
triumph in Danny's face.
How did ye come be this?" he de-
manded, speaking slowly and steadily,
as one who, having drunk more than
enough. listens to his own enunciation
to detect in 1t the slur that liquor
brings. 81 mean-I mean-how could

CHAPTER XVII,

Danny said o'Rourke
without looking up from the occupa-
lion which had engrossed his atten-
tion for the last three hours; and for
the first time in that period he spoke
audibly, making an end to the num-
bled confabulation he had been hold
ing with himself. a Murray's Guide, a
Bradshaw, an Indian railway guide,
several steamship folders and large
colored map of the Indian empire.
What days this day, Danny?"
Danny thought laboriously. "'Twas
this morn we lift tn Rance, sor?
Thin yestiddy was Wednes-
day"
"And today Thursday, be logical
progress Of reasoning, eh?"
"Aw, yiss, sor."
"And what's the timer"
Danny consulted O'Rourke's watch
on the bureau. "a quarter av twilve." D:
"Then bestir yourself, ye lazy good
for-nothing, and pack up me things"
"Aw!" cried Danny, expostulant.
"our train leaves at two. Ye have
an hour and half"
"Aw, but yer honor, is ut no rist at
all we'll iver be havin'?"
"Ye can rest on the train," said
O'Rourke. 'Ive just ten days left In
which to reach Rangoon, where I've an

up, Danny. There's only forty miles
between the two places, and If there's
no train, we'll charter a motcr-car or.
a boat down the Hughli. ;"
The latter expedient O,Rourke final:
ly adopted, although he could have af-
forded a comfortable night in a ho-
tel at Calcutta, had he deemed 1t wise.
But in the fifty-six hours of unmitigat-,
ed sweltering that he and Danny en-
dured in their fight across India he
had leisure to think matters over very
carefully, with the result that, all
things considered, he felt justified In
assuming the world to be in league
against him and in shaping his course
accordingly. Therefore it were un-
wise to permit himself to be seen and
recognized in Calcutta, or even to lin
ger on the soil Of India an instant
longer than absolutely necessary.

at Howrah, he had, by dint Of per-
sistence and rupees, succeeded in hir-

ceived q letter from his old friend Mr.

MIR. Frazier was graduated at the Lethe
School In this county before the war, and
afterward he was graduated from the
Charleston Citadel. At the breaking out
of the war Mr.. Frazier became drill mas
