CHAPTER X.

II was high noon when O'Rourke
drove up before the Palace OF the
GovernorGeneral Weary, dusty and
travel-stained as he was. he hesitated
no instant about sending in his name
and requesting an interview with the
representative of Frances sovereign
power
disappointment awaited him at the
very outset; disappointment IN the
shape Of word that bis excellency was
away. But the name of O'Rourke was
one we'll and favorably known in the
province. and secured him an invita-
ton to ascend to the Governors Office
and state his buslness--if he cared
to do soto the gubernatorial secre-
tary.
Upon consideration he accepted. and
little later was seated m O broad,
low, cool room in the old Moorish
palace, the affable secretary
young, lively and engaging French
man-solicitously sounding him as to
his errand.
IL was obviously the of1ce Of a man
Of great affairs, presenting an eminent
ly business-like look for all its ORR
entail setting. 10 one side, set in the
solid masonry Of the wall was a mas
sive safe with doors ajar, exposing a
cavity we'll stocked with documents.
II occurred TO the adventurer that
such safe might easily have been
the place Of security selected by the
Governor-General for anything he held
in trust. He built upon it a theory
whilst he listened-nor lost a point
and replied to the secretary.
The latter regretted excessively
that his excellency was absent: his
excellency would undoubtedly be DESC
lated when he returned and found he
had missed Colonel O'Rourke

by this moment-on matters of state"
And he left?"
Several days since. monsieur"
you know nothing of this package,
Endorsed with the name of Monsieur

To the contrary: the secretary knew
It very well. He could place his hand
upon 1t at any moment-monsieuT
would appreciate that he burst not
surrender it without the Governors
authority.
O'Rourke drew a long sigh of relief
and was abruptly conscious of fatigue
and desire to get away and rest.
I'm obliged to ye," he said slowly.

Governor returns, | presume. q.
By the way, are We be any chance &C
quainted with Monsieur lie Vicomto

But certainly; the vicomte was
great friend of his excellency's. He
had dined with his excellency some
thing over a week since, just prior to
the latter's departure.

Record of Taft-Rooseveit Case Goes to

Washington, Aug. 31.-The fight be-
tween the Taft and Roosevelt forces
over the presidential electors from

when the record of the case in the

Kansas courts was adverse to the Taft

customs of that party and would sup
