CHAPTER Xxx.

O'Rourke's first fears were for the
woman, his first words lie designed
to reassure her.
"What-what does it mean?" she
gasped family, her face as white as
marble. her eyes wide and terrified.
Sure, I'm thinking It's nothing at
ALL" he answered readily, with smile
amending, nothing of any great con-
sequence, that is to say. Permit me to
escort We to your cabin"
I'm not afraid" Mrs. Prynne inter-
jected.
Faith, see that, madam. But your
maid, now? Would it not be well
to return to your stateroom and quiet
her, whilst I'm ascertaining the cause
of this trouble? l promise to advise
We instantly, whether there's danger
or not"
You're very thoughtful" she re-
turned. I'm sure you're right. Thank
you"
He escorted her to her stateroom
and left her at the door, remarking its
number and renewing his pledge to
return in ten minutes-more speedily
If possible. He was back in five, with
long face.
Mrs. Prynne answered instantly his
double-knocked summons and, STEP
ping out quickly, closed the door tight
In the fraction of a second that 1t was
wide, however, O'Rourke saw one side
of the stateroom warm and bright
with electric light, and sitting there,
Cecile the maid. completely dressed,
wide awake and vigilant. The girl was
French and sullenly handsome after
her kind. O'Rourke got an impression
of a resolute chin and resolute eyes

brave them ali for ye, madam" he de-
clared gallantly. Command me
what We will"
She lifted her gaze to his, coloring
1fyinely there in the moon-glamor. He
looked into her curiously bewitching
eyes and saw there an appeal and a
strange little tender smile. Her head
was so near his shoulder that he was
aware Of the vague, alluring perfume
of her hair. Her scarlet lips parted
=. And he became suddenly aware
that 1t behooved him to hold himself
well in hand. 1t were an easy mat
ter to imagine himself swept of his
feet, into a whirl of infatuation, with
q little encouragement. And he was
not unsophisticated enough to fail to
see that encouragement would not be
lacking If he chose to recognize 1t.
Faith" he told himself, I'm think
Ing 'twould be wiser for me to take
to me heels and run before :"
He was spared the ignominious ne
cessity of flight. In two breaths they
showed two very different pictures.
Now they stood alone on the dead
white deck, alone with the night, the
sea, the stars, the silence and the
moonlight: O'RoWke a bit dismayed
and wary, but as curious as any man
In such a case; the woman apparent
ly yielding to a sudden fascination for
him, swaying a little toward him as
IL inviting the refuge of his arms. (.
And now she started away,
clutching at her heart, with little
choking cry of alarm; while beneath
them the vessel was still quivering
with harsh yet deadened detonation
like an explosion, together with a
grinding crash and shrek Of riven
steel somewhere deep in the hold.
Inexpressibly dismayed, they stared
with wide and questioning eyes at one
another, through a long minute filled
with an indescribable uproar: success
sion of shocks and thumps in the in
terror of the vessel gradually dimin-
fishing in severity while, in pande-
monium of clamorous voices, the liner,
like stricken thing, hesitated in its
southwark surge, then slowly limped
into a dead halt on the face Of the
waters.

But good night, madam!

anti"
Good night, colonel" she said softly,
and as she watched him swing away
laughed lightly and strangely. Later,
still standing outside her door, she
sighed, and an odd light glowed deep
in her eyes of grayish-green. Signing
again, and with another low laugh
that rang a thought derisive, as
though she were fouting the man
whose service she accepted so gladly,
she turned and vanished within her
'stateroom.
AS she did so, the opposite door
that of an inside stateroom on the
same gangway-was opened cautious
lily. A turbaned head peered out, its
eyes glancing swiftly up and down the
corridor. Long since, however, the
excited passengers had been reassur-
ed and had returned to their berths;
the coast was clear.
The lascar stepped noiselessly out,
shut the door without sound, and
sped swiftly forward: long, brown
man with an impassive cast of coun-
tenance in which his eyes shone with
a curious light.
AS he swung into the space at the
foot of the saloon companionway, he
collided violently with an urdersized
and excessively red-headed Irishman,
nearly upsetting the latter, to say
nothing of a glass Of brandy-and.soda
which he was conveying to q certain
stateroom.>
"Phwat the divvle, ye domned nay
CUR! Pwhy dye not look where ye're
going?" demanded Danny with some
heat.
The East Indian backed away, bow
ed profoundly, mumbling something In
articulate, and sprang up the steps.
Danny looked after him, for a moment
hesitant, then put down the tray and
pursued. He caught the flicker Of the
lascar's cummerbund as the latter es-
capped to the deck, and himself arrived
at the forward end Of the promenade
just in time to see white shape dis
appear into the steerage companion
way.
"Td take me OATH" said Danny re-
fectively, "thot he's the naygur thot
came aboard at Suez. 'Tis meself
thot wishes I'd had betther peep at
the ugly mug av him. Pm thinking
I'd betther be after tellin' himself"
