CHAPTER XVIII.

At a small hour of the morning they
made Diamond Harbor in pitch dark
ness and without misadVenture were
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 a long.boat on the
Poonahs promenade deck. stood fin
ishing matutinal cigar and watching
narrowly a tender ferry out a final
boatload of passengers from the east.
ern river bank.
Slowly the tender forged toward the
steamers side; and as 1t drew near,
O'Rourke forgot to smoke and bent
over the rail to inspect with unremit.
ting interest those upon its decks.
The forward deck Of the tender held
his regard but briefly; those who
waited there. eyeing impassively the
towering flanks of the liner, were one
and all of the east, of races. creeds
and types too numerous to catalogue.
These the adVenturer might not read,
save individually upon personal con-
tact. II trouble was to come from
them, collectively or individually he
would not know until the blow had
fallen. On the other hand, he might
be able to hazard shrewd surmises as
to the potential aninus inherent in
any one of the Europeans who were
to be his fellow passengers.
The latter were a mere handful;
half dozen commercial travellers
from London, Paris, Berlin, their ayo-
cations evident beyond dispute: a sal
low English missionary with his with
cred wife. sombre figures in the stark
sunlight, red-faced deputy-sub-some-
thing-or-other of the Indian govern
ment, complacent in white drill and
new pith helmet with a gay puggaree;
lone English girl. and Frenchman.
The two latter held the Irishman's
attention; the girl because, even at a
distance, her slim white-clad figure
and well-poised head seemed singu-
larly fresh and attractive; the man
because-well, because O'Rourke was
susceptible to premonitions.
He was a tall man and broad, the
FTenchman-well-made, Well-groomed
carrying himself with an indefinable
air of distinction. His face was rath-
er pale (and therefore notable in that
concourse of dark skins), its features
strongly modelled, the mouth and chin
masked by a neatly trimmed and
pointed beard and mustache
O'Rourke could not have said that
he had ever seen the man before; yet
there was this and that about him
which struck a spark of reminiscence
from his memory. A suspicion flashed
through his mind which he put aside
with disdain, as absurd and far-fetch-
ed. On the other hand He
knit his brows in puzzlement.
The very fixity of his regard drew
the eyes of its object upwards. They
encountered O'Rourke's, fingered brief
ly in an unveiled, inquiring stare in
which there was not to be detected
the least hint of recognition, and
passed onward casually, indtfferently,
ignoring the impertinence.
The tenders passengers began to
stumble up the gang-plank to a lower
deck of the liner; and O'Rourke, with
a sober face, went below. taking some
care to avoid contact with the incom-
ing crowd.
He found Danny was in his state

AmuSementS
AT THE PRINCESS.

One would not imagine that the flood in the eastern and southern part of the state could disarrange a vaude. vile program in Hot Springs, yet such is the case, for when 1t came time for the curtain to go up on the Princess show last night there were only two acts on hand, and of these one of them just got here in .ime. The two others are stalled the other side of Memphis, and are today trying to make their way from that city to Helena by boat here in time for the snow tomorrow
 Realizing that he would be short on vaudeville, Manager Frank Head determined to be long on pictures and two great Imp reels soon made amends for the acts that were miss ing.
 So far as the three acts go, they left nothing to be desired, as each of them were excellent. The opening feature Is little pantomlme aerobatic stunt, with stage setting resembling a day at the seashore, which, in itself, was most consistent with the approaching hot wave This act was presented by Sylvan and O'Neal and is a genuine novelty that, elicited a great deal oi applause
 The Rose of Virginia proved tc be one of those meritoriohs reminders of the days that came immediately after the rebellion, when the nortt and the south were arrayed againsl one another, and was most success ful in every way. It was played by Miss Pauline Fielding, a charming little actress, whose clever soubrettt work elicited round after round oI applause, and whose singing of "the old songs" was most appreciated There is a military vein to this sketcl which is also brimful of good comedy situations and the act made grea hit
 Go to the Princess the first three days and see Maud, the "hee.haw' mule, for Maud was there last nigh in all her glory and with the ful force of her four feet. She kicked and she bucked and she did trick that no one thought was possible il mule, but this beast is a trick mule There Is a reward of one dollar minute for any one who can ride Mau, and last night there were no takers The other horses and ponies wit this attraction, together with the edr cated monkey constitute a show tha is alone worth the price of admission and Manager Head announces that th, remaining acts will be in tomorrow or in the event of their not getting in, there will be others to take thell place, making the five acts in all

LYRIC THEATER.

Yesterday ushered in an entirely new bin at the popular Lyric theater so evenly balanced that all the fea' lures were accorded even honOrs. The motion pictures easily held their own with the vaudeville portion of the program for popular approval
 The Madison sisters are a veritable whirlwind of fun They introduce some new songs which are rendered in a most yivacious fashion. The younger sister is possessed of a bari tone voice of much volume and one seldom heard in vaudeville, the solo work and the duets are equally well sung and their entires offering receiy- ed the applause from the crowded audience that was earned
 Cross and Crown have a very ami mated offering which caught the crowds Miss Crown is a very grace full dancer and has a voice of consid erable purity and expression. Cross has all the earmarks of the seasoned yaudeyillion. and has a good line of comedy which fairly bristles with hu mor
 The motion pictures are exception. ally good The one entitled "A Bear Hunt Romance being an especially strong story, dramatically acted with an all-absorbing realism that carries one along It is a blending of pathos and love incidents and the happy and logical finale is welcomed by all.

shown at the New Central theater on Thursday and Friday. These pictures are entirely different in every way to those that have gone before, and the final dive of the old sea fighter is one of the most remarkable motion pictures ever filmed
 The program at the New Central changes four times a week now, the new pictures appearing Monday, Wed nesday Thursday and Friday, and, with the Maine reel, win give show of 5000 feet of pictures, greater than anything ever attempted by any no. ton picture house.
