CHAPTER xxx.

AS time went on, however. II his un'
easiness were not sensibly dimin-
ished, nothing happened. the voyage
proving entirely uneventful; and
O'Rourke was forced to the conclusion
that. II Monsieur de Hyeres were real.
ly the vicomte des Trebes, he wa
strangely content to play . waiting
game.
The Irishman, however, had known
stranger things than that one man
should seem the counterpart OF an.
other. And by nothing more than
this questionable accident OF resem-
blance did De Hyeres give him reason
to believe him anything but what he
cliamed to be. The mans demeano7
was consistently discreet and self
contained; he moved about the. ship
openly and without any apparent at
tempt to pry upon the doings OF the
adventurer, whom he fell into the
easy ship-board way Of greeting ami
ably but coolly Only in one instance,
indeed. did they exchange more than
but courteous salutations. and then
De Hyeres himself seemed to seek
the interview, approaching O'Rourke
directly.
This was at night, when O'Rourke
occupied chair on the leeward side
Of the saloon deck, consuming medi-
tative after-dinner cigar. De Hyeres
stepped out Of the companionway,
glanced swiftly this way and that, and
sauntered toward the Irishman with
an unlighted cigarette held conspicu-
ously between his fingers.
O'Rourke likewise surveyed his sur
roundings in two brief glances: and
was contented to find that they were
alone, or as much alone as two can be
upon a steamship. For they were,
after all, we'll matched; and one Of
them he knew to be armed. Shifting
in his chair so that his revolver lay
convenient TO his hand, as De Hyeres
approached the Irishman removed his
cigar from between his teeth, fiicked
away an inch Of ash and silently prof
fered It in the prescribed fashion.
The Frenchman accepted the cour-
tesy with bow, applied the fire to his
cigarette, inhaled deeply and returned
the cigar with formal phrase Of
thanks. He fingered for a moment,
putting and gazing off over the black
starlit expanse Of the Bay Of Bengal,

please, and with neat new beard!'
observation-disclosures.
O'Rourke frowned impatiently. "Des
Trebes," he explained.
"Aw-"
stop it, ye parrot. Stop it, say!
