CHAPTER TX.

Shortly before midnight the tri-
weekly train from Constantine to AL
giers pulled up over an hour late at
the town of El-Guerrah. 1t took up a
single passenger, discharged none, and
presently Numbered on westwards,
rocking and jarring over a road-bed
certainly no better than 1t should have
been. Such, at least, was the passen-
gers criticism, as. groaning In an
ticipation of the long night Of discom-
fort ahead of him, he disposed himself
and his belongings about the cushions
of the first-class compartment which
he occupied in solitary grandeur
ORourke had no intention of leav-
Ing anything undone that might tend
TO mitigate the terrors of the tourney.
Five days had elapsed since that
morning in the oasis In the interval
he had again dared the danger Of the
desert, returning to Biskra alone by a
route more direct than that which had
brought him up with the flying col.
umn Discharging the guide with a
gratuity larger than his ebbing means
warranted, he had proceeded to Eel.
Guerrah by the first daily train. and
so now found himself on the direct
line OF communication with Algiers
and the Governor-General.
His chiefest concern now Law with
the future and the Pool Of Flame:
both bulked large upon the horizon
and were at once the architects and
the nuclei Of thousand different
plans of action.
So far. the affair had worked
smoothly; he anticipated little trou.

his feet; and then. the clouds clearing

inwardly exulting, acknowledged Des
Trebes' attention with winning
smile.
"Cood evening" he said, and nodded
amiably.
"Oh. shut up!" snapped the Honor

CHAPTER VIII.

Preparations for breakfast were to-
ward; an aroma of coffee and bacon
hung In the still, crisp air. The troop
ers were bustling about as if moth
ing had happened, laughing and jok-
ing. cleaning rifles, feeding the me-
hara, striking tents, drawing water
from the palm-ringed well round
which the camp had been made.
Out of sight beyond the edge of the
sunken oasis detachment was dig
ging shallow trenches for the dead
In the open Chambret lay dying, a
stark grim figure in the growing
light. ORourke sat by his side, near
the head of the improvised litter, ell
bow in knee, chin in hand, eyes fixed
on the face of his friend.
Just before sunrise the man on the
litter stirred, moaned. opened his eyes
and turned his head to see O'Rourke
He smiled wanly. Mon ami," he said
in tones faint yet thick.
The Irishman rose. Don't talk"
said he. "Ill be calling the surgeon"
But Chambret stayed him with q
gesture. Has he not told you, dear
friend? ?" he asked.
ORourke hesitated. Told me
what?"
That my wound was fatal-mortal?
Surely he must have told you.
1t is so. Presently die Con-
tent Let him be-this sur
geon: l am beyond his aid. Attend

picking up his revolver.
'Divvle word" observed O'Rourke.

Des Trebes' face darkened, suf-
fused with the blood of his rage. Yet
the man asserted that admirable con-
troll of self which he was able to en-
ploy when it suited his purposes. Evi-
IDENTIFY. too, he recognized the cold
common-sense of the wanderers re-

weapon.
Where's the letter?" he demanded
again, more pacifically.
Again O'Rour>e yawned with NAL.
ice prepense, yawned deliberately and
haustively and dispassionately.
Not a word" he volunteered at
length until ye loose me hands and
feet. Which," he added, "ye need not
hesitate to do, for I'll not strike back
unless ye crowd me-"
The vicomte scowled darkly for a
moment, plainly dubious. Then pre-
sumably upon the consideration that
he could trust O'Rourke's word and
that most assuredly he would learn
nothing from him until his request
was complied with, he growled an or
der to Glynn to unlock and remove
the handouts. The Englishman obey
ed.
Free, O'Rourke stretched himself,
rubbed his wrists, and observed a
collection of his pocket hardware ly-
ing upon the seat by him, thrown
aside by Glynn in his disgust at not
finding what he sought.
"Ye'll not be wanting to deprive
waymen, I'm thinking? he inquired
placidly of the pair. "If ye've no ob-
lection I'll make SO free as to take
back me own"
Take what you want" returned
Des Trebes in an ugly tone. But

where you have put that letter"

and calmly made a note of the hour
hard upon three in the morning; then,
with easy nonchalance slowed It away
with the rest of the miscellaneous col
lection-the knives, coins and keys,
his wallet, tickets and so forth.
Your time" the voice of the vi
comte interrupted this occupation, 'Is

Where rust nor moth cannot cor

O'Rourke misquoted solemnly.

I'm afraid 'tis useless" O'Rourke
Knocked them. II have forgotten the
contents. What use to me to re-
member" he demanded, inspired.
