Good night, colonel, she said softly,
and as she watched him swing away
laughed lightly and strangely. Later,
still standing outside her door, she
sighed, and an odd light glowed deep
in her eyes of grayish-green. Signing
again, and with another low laugh
that rang a thought derisive, as
though she were fiouting the man
whose service she accepted so gladly,
she turned and vanished within her
stateroom.
AS she did so, the opposite door
that of an inside stateroom on the
same gangway--was opened cautious
ly. A turbaned head peered out, it's
eyes glancing swiftly up and down the
corridor. Long since, however, the
excited passengers had been reassur-
ed and had returned to their berths;
the coast was clear
The lascar stepped noiselessly out,
shut the door without sound, and
sped swiftly forward: a long, brown
man with an impressive cast of coun-
tenance in which his eyes shone with
curious light.
AS he swung into the space at the
foot Of the saloon companionway, he
collided violently with an understood
and excessively red-headed Irishman,
nearly upsetting the latter, to say
nothing of glass of brandy-and- soda
which he was conveying 20 a certain
stateroom.

The East Indian backed away, bow

Danny looked after him, for moment
hesitant, then put down the tray and
pursued. He caught the flicker of the
lascar's cummerbund as the latter es-
capped to the deck, and himself arrived
at the forward end of the promenade
just in time to see white shape dis
appear into the steerage companion
way.

amiable BULL awoke Adens echoes:
| "O-o-Rourke!"
Good morning murmured the lrsh-

the boat alter its course, put aside the

over Alden.
On nearer approach to the tramp,
O'Rourke's smile broadened to a
pleased grin, and airily he waved a
hand to the man with the voice.
"Jimmy Quick!" he observed with

From the bottom step Of the tramp's

upon his neck with symptoms OF ex-

upon his guest and suggested snsinuat-

a windy swagger; rs Quick had fore
told, series of thunderstorms swept
the sea before dawn, so shat 1t, like
the sky, seemed newly washed, clean
and brilliant
O'Rourke relieved Quick at four
bells of the morning watch and kept

the bridge. His duties were simple
enough, requiring little more than d
display of the habit of authority
which sat so we'll on his broad shuur
ders. 1t was no great trick to keep
the crew in order: they went about
their work peaceably enough and
showed no signs of desiring to renew
their disputations Otherwise he had
to keep an eye upon the helmsman
and see that he held the Rance to the
course prescribed by Quick; and thai
was nothing difficult to a man of av.
erage intelligence. Naught but deep
water lay between them and Bombay,
so long as direct course was shaped
and maintained.
AS the sunlit watches wore out and
nothing untoward took place,
O'Rourke's grim apprehensions dissi.
pated into shadows. He began to be-
lieve with Quick that the affair of the
winged knife was merely hapchance
accident, quite unprecedented.
Below decks, Dravos and Danny
were standing watch-and-watch, with
clockwork regularity. where the for
mer's beloved engines were justifying
his confidence and pride in them and
clicking of their twenty knots with

ly. Very nicely thank you
He shook hands, sat down on the edge
of a berth with the manner of one
who fears he intrudes, and glanced
searchingly at Quick. IF you're go

snapped acidly, hump YOURSELF
He accepted his glass with dis
passionate air and drank hastily after
a short nod to the guest, as one who
sacrifices his personal inclinations to
the laws of hospitality. But from his
after-glow of benevolence, O'Rcurke
concluded that the drink had not been
unwelcome.
