O'Rourke! Bless the lad"
But as he breathed this benediction
the iron door swung inwards and he
stumbled across the threshold, half
Painting. hardly conscious that he had
done more than pass from open night
to the night OF an enclosed space. His
foot caught on some obstruction and
he went to his knees with a cry that
was cross between a sob and a
groan; and incontinently fell tull
length upon an earthen floor. his head
pillowed on his arm. painting as If his
heart would break.
In the darkness above him someone
cried aloud, startled cry. and then
the door was thrust to with clang
and rattle of bolts A match rasped
loudly and a flicker of light leaped
from a small hand lamp and revealed
to its bearer the tagged and quivering
figure on the floor.
Some one sat down beside him with
low exclamation of solicitude and
gathered his head into her lap. Some
one quite simply EMBODIED his neck
with soft arms and pressed his head
to her bosom. and as IL that were not
enough. kissed him full and long upon
his lips.

in French. What has happened. o,

Now the integral madness of all this
was as effectual In restoring O'Rourke
to partial consciousness as had been
a douche of cold water In his face
Blankly he told himself that he was
damned. and that 1t was all dream
And yet, when he looked. 1t was to
see, dim in the feeble glimmer of the
lamp, the face of woman as beauti-

CHAPTER XIV.

He opened his eyes again, alone on
the cool. damp. earthen floor but as
sured that the feminine element in his
adventure had been no hallucination,
after all; for he could see the girl
standing little to one side and look
ing down upon him, her face so deep
in shadow that he could gather moth
ing from its expression, whether 1t
were Of displeasure or Of perplexity.
From this and that. however. he de-
duced that she, discovering herself
lavishing endearments on the wrong
man, was not utterly delighted with
the situation. The circumstances TAX
en- into consideration, such state of
mind he thought not unreasonable;
cred, he saw no profit in making her
suffer more. SO with a show of
faintness not wholly assumed he
rolled his head to one side. opening
wide his eyes and looked the woman
In the face, inquiring with his faint,
thin brogue: Whats this, now. me
dear?"
The girls face darkened. She shook
her head impatiently. Il have no Eng

here? You are not Danny"
"Oho," commented O'Rourke know

and drawing rueful face. Faith. me

She frowned. Then what are you

tightening face, nor anything that
happened thereafter"
mot the least I'm the world What
did happen, now?"
But she flanked that embarrassing
question adroitly, evidently much re-
lieved by O'Rourke's reinsurance.
Which was just what he wished her
frame OF mind TO be. Nothing that
matters" she replied. continuing to
employ the French tongue, and that
very prettily. with fetching little ac.

Hers is, the temperament that rec

at the entrance to the rear chamber,

in his estimation nothing more than

PURCHASERS ARE WARNED.
Fur Dealers Charged With
Pursuing a Course of Fraud.

John r. Wilkie, supervising agent of
the customs department of the govern
ment has sent out a warning to pur-
chasers of furs in Canada against the
firm of Dcspardins & Co. of Montreal,
claiming that they have been victimizing
people in this country. 1t is asserted
that their plan has been TO sell the furs,
duty paid. and then to attempt to SNUG
gle them into the United States. pocket
ing the duties. The customs department
has seized many of these furs and held
them for payment of duties. Prof Alex
ande- Graham Bell was one of those vic
timized. He makes this statement about
the matter:
Il was passing through Montreal. Cam
ada, when my attention was called to the
firm of Despardis & Co, who were Of
fering desirable furs at an attractive
price. i purchased some furs and pro-
cured a receipt showing that the duty on
the furs already had been paid. 1, there

home here.
But a short time subsequent to the de-
livery of the furs l learned that the duty
had not been paid. The dealer had not
only realized a legitimate profit, but had
pocketed the money paid him for defray-
ing the duty. / went to Montreal and
returned the furs to the dealer, whom /
forced TO refund my money. I then i'm

firm. The suit is still pending"
