CHAPTER XVIII.

At 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 long-boat on the
Poonah's promenade deck, stood fin
fishing a matutinal cigar and watching
narrowly a tender ferry out final
boatload of passengers from the east
ern river bank.
Slowly the tender forged toward the
steamers side; and as it 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, cycling impassively the
towering TANKS 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. If 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 surmlses as
oil in 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 avo-
cations evident beyond dispute; sal
low English missionary with his with
cred wife, sombre figures In the stark
sunlight, a red-faced deputysub-some-
thing-or-other Of the Indian govern
ment. complacent in white drill and
new pith helmet with gay puggaree;
a lone English girl, and Frenchman.
The two latter held the Irishman' s
attention; the girl because, even at
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 tall man and broad, the

carrying himself with an indefinable
air of distinction. His face was rath-
er pale (and therefore notable in that
eoncourse of dark skins). its features

THE PEEVISH CHILD
NEEDS TREATMENT

rQhen a child sulks drowsily, or -
fretful. 1t is usually due to some sngns
disorder of the digestive organs, anu :
mild laxative is very often all tnae -
necessary to restore cheerfuiness anu
buoyancy of spirits.
In cases where the use OF genus
effective laxative stimulant is lhul-
Gated, many of the best physicians are
now prescribing DR.. Caidweii's Sy-ap
Pepsin. This preparation is admitted
ly the perfect laxative, being mild, yet
positive In its action on the bowels
and far preferable to violent catnaro-
les and purgative waters. 1t IS very
pleasant to the taste and is an ideal
remedy TO regulate and strengthen tho
stomach, liver and bowels. Its easy
natural action makes it especially oe-
sirable in the case of children, dose
at bedtime being sure to have the de-
sired result next morning, with no at
tendant unpleasantness or discomfort.

tel at Calcutta, had he deemed it wise.
But in the fifty-siX hours of unmitigat-
ed sweltering that he and Danny en-
dured in their flight across India he
had leisure to think matters over very
carefully, with the result that, all
things considered, he felt justified in
assuming the world to be in league
against him and in shaping his course
accordingly. Therefore it were un-
wise to permit himself to be seen and
recognized in Calcutta, or even to lin
ger on the soil of India an instant
longer than absolutely necessary.

at Howrah, he had, by dint of per-
