the choppy waves had small

Even when the channel should be

today every seat was taken. Mason
Hawley. coming late purposely. scan
ned the crowd eagerly, then sank into
his seat his face clouded by disap-
pointment.
Hawley. despite fund of CONNER
cial common sense that had enabled
him to score business success. was
superstitious in many ways. He had
been Il guest on Il houseboat Just be-
fore sailing. and wet day had been
beguiled with fortune telling and simi-
lar devices of the rain Imprisoned.
The seer had been . young woman
whose brunette beauty seemed to sus-
tain her statement that the blood Of
the Zinsari flowed In her veins.
Adroit guessing, supplemented by
positive knowledge In the form of hints
from the host, had enabled her to read
accurately Hawley's past, 20 when she
had reached the future he had listened
open cared and believing while she
predicted that on the homeward voy-
uSe he would meet his fate.
"She will be on the steamer" the
girl had predicted. "You will become
engaged before the steamer reaches
port. and you will live happy ever
after"
! His reason for taking a vacation had
been Betty Lippincott's treatment.
After a lively pursuit all season Miss
Lippincott had withdrawn the favor
she had shown Hawley and mad BE-
come engaged to Dudley Hodge. who
had come upon the scene only . few
weeks before.
Now the words Of tho seeress
brought him new hope. She had pre-
dicted that he would meet his fate on
the steamer and live happy ever aft
err" He knew that he could not be
happy except with Betty, and Of course
that meant that Betty would b. on the
homeward bound ship.

found on the passenger lists, nor was
Betty's pretty self to be found in the
dining saloon. and Hawley regarded
| discontentedly the usual crowd of
homesoing schoolteachers and tourists
who at that season were In the ma
jority.
There were half dozen pretty girls,
girls above the average in good looks,
but Hawley told himself miserably
that no one who had loved Betty could
ever love one Of these commonplace
persons.
When they had spoken the lightship
and there were signs of home Hawley
grew worried. He did not question the
workings of fate. but he knew that
only an accident would precipitate an
engagement now. BY the following
day they should be in port, and there
was no time for u conventional WOO

He stayed on deck long after the
lights were extinguished. He had

THE POOL Of FLAME
STORY OF ADVENTURE AND IN
TRIGUE
(By Louis Joseph vance,
CHAPTER XIII.

The day came out of the East with
windy swagger; as Quick had fore
told. a series of thunderstorms swept
the sea before dawn, so that ii, like
the sky, seemed newly washed, clean
and brilliant.
O'Rourke relieved Quick at four
bells of the morning watch and kept
the deck for the remainder of the day,
his meals being brought to him on
the bridge. His duties were simple
enough, requiring little more than a
display of the habit of authority
which sat so we'll on his broad shour
ders. 1t was no great trick to keep
the crew in order: they went about
their work peaceably enough and
showed no signs of desiring 20 renew
their disputations. Otherwise he had
to keep an eye upon the helmsman
and see that he held the Rance to the
course prescribed by Quick; and that
was nothing difficult to a man of aV-
erage intelligence. Naught but deep
water lay between them and Bombay,
so long as a direct course was shaped
and maintained.
AS the sunlit watches wore out and
nothing untoward took place.
O'Rourke's grim apprehensions dissf-
pated into shadows. He began to be-
lieve with Quick that the affair of the
winged knife was merely hapchance
accident, quite unprecedented.
Below decks, Dravos and Danny
were standing watch-andwatch, with
clockwork regularity, where the for
mer's beloved engines were justifying
his confidence and pride in them and
clicking off their twenty knots with.

Now Danny happened to have "off'
the first afternoon watch. O'Rourke
| from the bridge saw him come up the
engine-room companion ladder, dive
into the messroom for his dinner, and
later emerge, picking his teeth and
grinning self-complacency until his
master could have kicked him, had
such a course been polite before the
crew, or even consistent with the dig
nifty Of his office.

make so bold"

and having long since made up hi:

ORourke moved a few PAGES aft,
along the rail, to a point whence he
could see the head and shoulders Of
the helmsman. "Well?"
"'Tis nawthin' 1 cud swear to, sor,

was standing at ease. What of him."
he inquired, running his eye over the
fellows superb proportions.
"'Tis nawthin I'd take me oath to,
sor, but I'm thinkin' he's the man who
boarded the Pan!nab at Suez, sor.
And as for the naygur l run against

mortal twin"
"Ah," commented O'Rourke Thank
you, Danny"
He continued to watch the serang
until the latter, as IL Influenced by the
f1xity Of the Irishman's regard, turned
and stared directly. into O'Rourke's
eyes. For a full minute he gave him
look for look, dark eyes steadfast and
unyielding above his fine aquiline
nose, then calmly turned his back, re-
Stunning his contemplation of the tur-
bulent horizon.
An instant later Quick came up to
relieve O'Rourke, and, eight bells
sounding, Danny dived below to take
Dravos' place. O'Rourke, unpleasant

bore to mention it to either of the
ships owners; he retired to think it
over, and spent a long hour consum-
ing an Indifferent cigar and studying
the cracks IN the bulkhead between
his room and the cabin.
Without profit. however. Lacking
more substantial proof than Danny's
suspicious, he could arrive at no def
mite conclusion.
The night passed without incident;
the second day dawned the counter
part of its predecessor, and wore
away quietly enough.
