CHAPT X.

II was high noon when O'Rourke
drove up before the Palace of tho
Governor-G General. Weary. dusty and
travel-stained as he was, he hesitated
no instant about sending In his name
and requesting an interview with the
representative of Frances sovereign
power.
disappointment awaited him at the
very outset; disappointment In the
shape of word that his excellency was
away. But the name of O'Rourke was
one well and favorably known in tho
province, and secured him an invita-
ton to ascend to the Governors CO
and state his business-if he cared
to do soto the gubernatorial secre-
tary.
Upon consideration he accepted. and
a little later was seated in broad.
low, cool room in the old Moorish
palace, tho affable secretary
young. lively and engaging French
man-solicitously sounding him ms to
his errand.
II was obviously the ONCE OF n man
OF great AFFAIRS. presenting an eminent
ly business-like look for all It's ORR
entail setting. To one side, set In the
solid masonry Of the wall. was n mas
sive safe with doors ajar. exposing n
cavity well stocked with documents.
1t occurred to the adventurer that
such a safe might easily have been
the place of security selected by tho
Governor-General for anything he held
in trust He built upon It theory
whilst he listened-nor lost point
and replied to the secretary.
The latter regretted excessively
that his excelency was absent: his
excellency would undoubtedly be DESC
lated when he returned and found no
had missed Colonel O'Rourke.

leather box, wrapped In plain brown
paper and superscribed with my name
and yours. He knows nothing OF its

deliver it to you and only you without
question. That is all.
The hand that clasped O'Rourkes
was like Ice.
"Chambret!"
"Beatrix :"
The cold fingers relaxed. Gently
O'Rourke disengaged his hand and put
1t to the pitiful, torn bosom of the
man who had died with his wife's
name upon his lips.

presently Numbered on westwards,
rocking and jarring over a road bed
certainly no better than it 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 journey.
Five days had elapsed since that
morning in the oasis. In the interval
ne 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 ebblng means
warranted, he had proceeded to FL
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 lay with
the future and the Pool of Flame;
both bulked large upon the horizon
and were at once the architects and
the nuclei of a thousand different
plans of action.
So far, the affair had worked
smoothly; he anticipated little trou-

In high feather with himself,
O'Rourke entertained his companions
with a running fire of pleasantries for
the balance of the darkened hours
And he touched both more than once
with the rapier-point of his wit ana
irony, and had the pleasure of seeing
both squirm in impotent rage They
cut wretched figures, two against oner

himself their captive. Toward the end
the reserve which the vicomte I'M
posed upon the Honorable BERTHE was

He eyed them refectively during
moment or two made interesting by
Glynn's desperate attempts to blurt
out indiscretions against the prohibi-
ton of the vicomte: something which
the older man enforced crudely by
clapping his hand across the English
mans mouth, as well as by whisper
ing savagely in his ear.
But therell be no need" continued
the Irishman, when Glynn was calm.
