the tense lines of his lips.

I've been thinking" said O'Rourke

Biskra by tonight's train. 1t leaves in
ten minutes, so I'll have to forego the
pleasure of your society on the trip"
Glynn got grip on himself anc
pulled together the elements of his
manhood. He managed to infuse blank
insolence into his stare, and said
"Ow?" with that singularly maddenins
infection of which the Englishman
alone is master; as who should say:
why the dooce d'you annoy me with
your bally plans?"

he drawled.

Cant say wish to very badly

grimly
The meaning in his tone sent the
blood into the young mans face, a
fiery food of resentment.
"Oh, I'm not afraid of you, y'know,"
he said, bristling. "Of course you're
not going to Biskra, or you wouldn't
tell me so. But if you do, shall make
it my business to find out and follow
by the next bringing Dea
Trebes with me-"
"Oh, will We so? Ye mean to warn
me he's in Algeria, too?"

was angering the young man and rem.

most aptly term fools advice, and

that game. For yourself, then, take
warning from the experience of one
who's seen bit more of this side OF

don't let Des Trebes know we've
talked so freely. He's bad-tempered

pering his native home-brewed inso-
lence, the blank vacuity Of his eyes
hopelessly betraying the caliber of his
intellect.
A sudden gust of anger swept
O'Rourke off his figuratiye feet. He
stopped short, blocking the gangway
and the young mans progress. So this
was what had been set to spy upon
him!

sternation. Il trust I didn't hurt ye

"Oh, no-not at all" stammered the
Englishman. Not in the least. No"
He looked right and left of

himself with no choice but to retreat.

perately. II say. have you a match?"

But I've yet to meet him. OF this
We may feel sure, however: If ! have,

Now run along and figure it out for

He brushed past the man. leaving

with himself for his lack of discre
ton. AS matters turned out, however.
he had little to reproach himself with;
for his outbreak served to keep young
Glynn at respectful distance
throughout the remainder of the voy-
age. They met but once more. and
on that occasion the Englishman be-
haved himself admirably according to
the tenets of his caste-met O'Rourkes
challenging gaze without flicker Of
re 1ognition, looked him up and down
calmly with the deadly ennuied air
peculiar to the underdone British
youth of family and social position,
and wandered calmly away.
O'Rourke watched him out of sight,
smile of appreciation curving his
lips and tempering the perturbed and
dangerous light in his eyes. There's
stuff in the lad. after ALL he con-
ceded without grudge, IF he can
carry situation off like that. I'm
doubling not at all that something
might be whipped out of him, If he
weren't what he's made himself-a
slave to whisky"
For all of which appreciation, how
ever, he soon wearied of Mr.. Glynn.
During the first day ashore it was not
so bad; there was something amusing
in being SO openly logged by we'll
set-up young Englishman who had
quite ceased to disguise his interest.
But after that his shadowy surveillance
proved somewhat distracting to a man
busy with important affairs. And to-
ward evening of the second day
O'Rourke lost patience.
All day long in the sun. without
respite he had knocked about from pill
lar to post of Algiers, seeking news of
Chambret; and not until the eleventh
hour had he secured the information
he needed. Then, hurrying back to
his hotel he made arrangements to
have his luggage cared for during an
absence of indeterminate duration,
hastily crammed few indispensables
into kit box, and having dispatched
that to the railway terminal, sought
the restaurant for an early meal.
In the act of consuming his soup he
became aware that the Honorable
BERTHE, In a dinner coat and state of
fidgets, had wandered down the outer
corridor, passed at the restaurant door
and espied his quarry. The fact that
O'Rourke was dining with one eye
on the clock and in dust-proof, dust
colored suit of drill, was enough to
disturb seriously the poise of the Eng
lishman.
Evaporation stirred in O'Rourke.
He eyed the young man rather morose-
ly throughout the balance of his meal,
