CHAPTER TX.

Shortly before midnight the tri-
weekly train from Constantine to Al
giers pulled up over an hour late at
the town of ElGuerrah. 1t took up a
single passenger, discharged none, and
presently Numbered on westwards,
rocking and Earring over a road-bed
certainly no better than 1t should have
been. Such, at least, was the passep-
gers criticism, as, grooming in an
ticipation of the long night OF discom-
fort ahead of him, he disposed himself
and his belongings about the cushions
of the f1rst-class compartment which
he occupied in solitary grandeur.
O'Rourke 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
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 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 MT once the architects and
the nuclei of thousand different
plans of action,
So far, the affair had worked
smoothly; he anticipated little trou-
Bile.
So thinking he drowsed, and in the
course of time lulled by the hammer
ing of aat-wheel at the forward end
of the coach. fell asleep. He waken-
ed suddenly after a nap of some two
hours or so, to confusion of impress
sions: that the train had stopped;
that some one had invaded his COM
partment: that a cold blast was blow
ing across his wrists. Bewilde.ed and
not half master of his senses, he start
ed up and fell back with a thud, as
sisted to resume a recumbent position
by heavy blow upon his chest, deliv-
cred q some person for the moment
unknown. simultaneously he was
aware of clicking sound, followed by
the sensation OF being unable to move
his feet: and then. the clouds clearing
from his understanding. he realized
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1912-05-03

that the cold upon his wrists was that
of steel. With handouts also on his
ankles, he lay helpless, unable even
to protest because of cloth wadded
tightly into his mouth and firm hand
that prevented election.
Other hands were rifling his peck
cts. swiftly but after bungling fash
ion. The train, having paused briefly
at Setif Che afterwards located the
station by conjecture), began to
move again, was presently In

examination of his person-which
was SO thorough that 1t included
the opening of his shirt to as
sure the thieves that he carried moth

was concluded and the adventurer
was roughly jerked into sitting po-
sition. nj the same time his gag was
removed
He gasped, blinked, coughed, and
rolled resentful eye around the COM
partment. BE the powers!' he said
huskily; and no more At first glance
it became apparent that he had mis-
calculated the audacity and resource
of the vicomte and Mr. Glynn. They
had literally caught him mapping.

eagerness, triumph and apprehension.

SKY: flash of fire ahead. a snitful
snap and-pttV-the song of a bullet
speeding past his head.
The guide pulled up with Jerk
o'Rourke, refining in desperately.
swung his camel wide to avert the
threatened collision. simultaneously
the sharp "Qui vive?" of a French
sentry rang out, loud and sweet to
hear.
Thank God!" said the adventurer
IN his heart. And aloud, Friends"
he cried, driving past tho sentry in a
cloud Of dust.
by blessed miracle the man was
quick of wit, and swift to grasp the
situation-of which, however, he
must have had some warning from
the rattle of firing He screamed
something in O'Rourke's ear as the
latter passed, and turning threw him
self fiat and began to pump the trig-
ger OF his carbine, emptying the maya
zine at the on-sweeping line of Tou-
aregg.
The alarm was hardly needed:
ORourke and the guide swept on
over the slip of depression in the
desert and halted in the midst OF
camp already Quickened and alive
with shadowy figures running method
ically to their posts, carbine and &C
coutrement cleaning in the moon
light: men Of the camel crops, hard
ened to and familiar with their work.
They buckled down to it in a bust
ness-like way that thrilled the heart
of O'Rourke. In trice they were
doubling out past lines Of tethered
mehara, past the white hillocks Of
the officers shelter-tents and, like the
sentry, throwing themselves down
upon the ground to take shelter OF
whatever inequalities the face of the
desert offered; and their firing ringed
the bivouac with a fringe of flame.
O'Rourke slipped from his camel
and turned to watch the skirmish.
Massed, the Touaregg, in strength
greater than the adventurer had be-

stampede it.
Yet at the critical moment, when
it seemed that of surety there was
no stopping them, they divided and
swung round the camp in two wide
circles, scattering into open order and
firing as they scattered. Here and
there a horse fell, rider threw out
his hands and toppled from bis sad
die, camel seemed to buckle at full
tilt like faulty piece Of machinery;
and so gaps appeared in the flying
wings.
For the men OF the flying column
were picked shots. They had need to
be. who had such tasks as this to cope
with.
Nor-for that matter--were the Tou-
aregg the only sufferers. Here and
there in the camp a man plunged for
ward in mid-stride, and on the firing
line beyond the tents now and again
a sharpshooter shuddered and lay still
upon his arms. Even at O'Rourkes
side an officer was shot as he ran to
the front. and would have fallen had
not the Irishman caught him with
ready arms and let him easily to the
earth As he did so the stricken man
rolled an agonized eye upward.
"ORourke!" he said between
groan and sigh.
And O'Rourke. kneeling at his SIDE
and peering into his face, gave a bit
ter cry. For he had found Chambret

that most assuredly he would learn
