CHAPTER XXI.

Lurching drunkenly into the harbor
known locally as Alden Back Bay, the
Panjnab came to anchor
O'Rourke, from the lower grating of
the steamships accommodation lad
der, signaled to one of the swarm Of
lowering dinghys, and waiting for it to
come in. reviewed the anchored ship
ping, gathered transiently together in
that spot from the four corners of the
earth, and shook his head responding
ly.
A yellow-haired Somali boatman
shot his little craft in to the grating.
O'Rourke dropped upon the stern-seat
and took the tiller Post Office pier"
he said CURLY. The dinghy shot away
with dipping, dripping oars, while the
Irishman continued to search among
the vessels for anything that seemed
to promise the speed necessary for his
purpose, and failed to discover one.
"'Tis hopeless" he conceded bitter
ly as the boat wove a serpentine wake
in and out among the heaving bulks.
And, I'm thinking, tits the O'Rourke
who will presently be Sinking back to
confess he Dragged beyond his pow
ers. The fool that We are, Terence,
with your big words and your fine
promises, all empty as your purse!
IT'S out of patience I am with We en-
tirely!"
Doubtless he made the very picture
of unhappiness.
So, at least, seemed to think a man
lounging in a dilapidated canvas deck
chair beneath a dirty awning in the
stern of a distant tramp steamer;
who, raking the shoreward-bound with
pair of rusty binoculars, had CHANGED
to focus upon O'Rourke.

CHAPTER Xxx.

O'Rourke's first fears were for the
woman, his first words lie designed
to reassure her.
"What-what does it mean"" she
gasped family, her face as white as
marble, her eyes wide and terrified.
Sure, I'm thinking it's nothing at
ALL" he answered readily, with smile
amending, nothing OF any great con-
sequence, that is to say Permit me to
escort We to your cabin"
I'm not afraid" Mrs. Prynne inter-
jected.
Faith, see that, madam. But your
maid, now? Would it not be well
to return to your stateroom and quiet
her, whilst I'm ascertaining the cause
of this trouble? 1 promise to advise
We instantly, whether there's danger
or not"
you're very thoughtful" she re-
turned. I'm sure you're right. Thank
you
He escorted her to her stateroom
and left her at the door, remark1ng It's
number and renewing his pledge to
return in ten minutes speedily
if possible. He was back in five, with
a long face.
Mrs. Prynne answered instantly his
double-knocked summons and, STEP
ping out quickly, closed the door tight.
In the fraction of a second that it was
wide. however, O'Rourke saw one side
of the stateroom warm and bright
with electric light, and sitting there,
Cecile the maid completely dressed.

"A Kings courier, madam? You

"And why not?" she demanded
proudly. "The Kings messengers dare

OF them might not woman serve bet

True enough. Yet it's unprece-
dented-at least, yell admit, most un-
usual. l begin to understand. That
lascar, for instance"
Believe me, Colonel O'Rourke, I'm
at liberty to tell you nothing"
Tell me this, at least: would We
know him If ye saw him again."
"Truthfully," she said, looking him
in the eye, 81 would not 1 will say
one other word: had anticipated his
attack, although had never seen him
before"
Faith, tits yourself that has your
courage with We, Mrs. Prynne! /.
But good night, madam! Your serv-
anti"
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 f1outing the man
whose service she accepted so gladly,
G. n +,,-,
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 a sound, and
sped swiftly forward: long, brown
man with an impressive cast of coun-
tenance in which his eyes shone with
a 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 a glass Of brandy-and-soda
which he was conveying to a certain
stateroom

CUR! Pwhy dye not look where ye're
going?" demanded Danny with some
heat.
The East Indian backed away, bow
ed profoundly, mumbling something in
articulate, and sprang up the steps.
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 a white shape dis
appear into the steerage companion
way.
I'D take me OATH" said Danny re-
fectively, "thot he's the naygur thot
came aboard at Suez IT'S meself
thot wishes I'd had betther peep at
the ugly mug av him. I'm thinking
I'd betther be after tellin' himself"

ize an aggressive movement against
the encroachment of the liquor inter.
ests in Imperial valley. The outcome

The meeting was called to order by
Rev. w. G. Conley, who was elected

ed secretary. The purpose of the meet
ing-a desire to formulate some plan

League.

lette S. Campbell, Rev. Oliver Saylor,
Frederick Rapson and e. F. Howe was
appointed to draft bylaws and a con-
stitution for the league and was in
structed to report at meeting to be
held the evening of April 23,
]. G. Hamilton, Mrs. Mary Garren
and l. Mayfeld were appointed a nom-
mating committee to name candidates
for president, vice-president, secre-

ed to report on the date mentioned.
The matter of opening a reading and
rest room for working men who do not
make use of the public library, at
some point in the business district,
was presented in a fOrcible manned by
Percy e. Thacker, and the idea met
with D1uch cOnmeodatjOn

THE BOOZE SITUATION
At IMPERIAL CITY
New Ordinance Goes Into Effect April
Nineteenth and Saloons Must Be
Outside Protected Zone

The ordinance authorizing saloons
for Imperial will become effective
April 49, 1t is said that the city trus-
tees are proposing to- establish a pro-
tected zone within which there may
be no saloons located. This. in fact,
has been accomplished by the pro-
hibitory clause in the deeds to prop
erty within the original town site,
which provides for the reversion of
the property to the town company
in case it is used for the sale of in
toxicating liquors.
However, by going a half mile south
or a half mile east, saloon men can
secure locations on property that does
not bear this prohibtory clause, and
it is possible that the saloons may de-
termine on one of these districts-in
which case certain Imperial people
fear that a new business district
would spring up with the saloons as
a nucleus.
The new board of city trustees has
by the election of Trustee
Clark as chairman. The number of Ii
censes to be issued is at the discre-
ton of the board of trustees.

NEW YORK, April 17.-The first
news from the vicinity of the wreck
of the Titanic by any newspaper man
came to the United Press today by a
special wireless message from Roy w.
Howard, chairman of the board of d.
rectors of the United Press Associa-

bound for London, when the Olympic
arrived at the scene of the disaster:

"'rhe Olympic is proceeding east

Only 32e names Of survivors have

Prefers Lion Cage to Farm

tanner, in Gollmar Brothe1--R;o,
Circus, remarked while she put
the finishing touches to her make
up before going out to thrust her
head into the mouth of one of the
beasts, and otherwise entertain
with her group Of forest bred
lions.
Mile. Marguerite started life
on farm near Leipzig, Germany,
but at the age Of 16, tiring of the
down home ways, and a circus
happening her way, she drifted
into the animal training business.
Her debut was made in Berlin
when she worked with a troupe
of bears. Life with the slow
going bruins proved too tame for
her and she gathered togethered
a number of lions.
Sometime they furnish excite
ment as scars on her body testify.
In Hamburg last year one pf the
beasts struck her and then walk
ed away. -"Guess it thoutht I
had it coming" she smild, as
she rubbed the faint scars d her
wrist.
This IS my fourth year AS an
animal trainer" she volunteered,
I got tired of the farm. SO l got
into this stunt" She snapped
her whip and listened to her pets
roar in their cages on the stage
That's Moxie, my favorite, and

trick as all you have to do IS 10
