day night in the City Bowling league
The match was one Of the most houy
contested ever played on the local alley,
the Andreas team winning in the final
game by q margin of seven pins. One
of the largest crowds of the season at
tended the match. and much roofing
was heard for both sides, as though
the game were "a championship match
or a ball game. By winning the match
the Andreas team strengthened its hold
on second place, while the Calsher
team dropped three points and its pO-
sition at the head of the league was
shaken up bit. Barela rolled high
game, 242, and Schultz rolled high total,
632. Three of the four points were
won by the Andreas team.
In the Industrial league match the
Swift team defeated the Globe Mills

BLOOD POISONING GERMS ARE
FOUND IN WRESTLING MAT

Seattle, Wash, Dec. 1O.-Two guinea
pigs inoculated with germs from the
University of Washington gymnasium
to determine whether the mat used by
the wrestling squad was the source OF
the bacteria from which two student
athletes contracted blood poisoning,
died yesterday.
Examination of the germs obtained
from the mat showed that the pad was
inhabited by 500 germs to the square
inch, 100 of which were blood poisoning
organisms.

SYNOPSIS.

The story opens at Monte Carlo with
Col. Terence O'Rourke, military Tree
lance and something of gambler, in his
hotel. Leaning on the balcony he sees a
beautiful girl who suddenly enters the
elevator and passes from sight. At the
gaming table O'ROurke notices two men
watching him. One is the Hon: BERTHE
GIynn, while his companion is Viscount
Des Trebes, a duelist. The Yiscount tells
him the French government has directed
him to O'Rourke as man who would
undertake q secret mission. At his apart
ment, O'ROurke, who had agreed to I'M
dertake the mission, finds mysterious
letter. The viscount arrives, hands a
sealed package to ORourke, who is not
to open it until on the ocean. pair of
dainty slippers are seen prOtrEding from
under a doorway curtain. The lrshman
finds the owner of the mysterious feet TO
be his wife, BeatriX, from whom he had
run away a year previous. They are
reconciled, and opening the letter he finds
that Rarg0on law firm offers him
Pool of Flame and left to him by a dy-
ing friend, but now in keeping OF one
named CEambret in Algeria. O'Rourke
wOrsts the nobleman in duel. The wife
bids ORourke farewell and he promises
TO soon return with the reward. lie dis

the captain to be smuggler who tries TO

the captain and O'Rourke escapes to

Yes" He thrust hand ilas his waist
coat pocket and produced penknife,
with which he began to slit the
stitches that enclosed the ruby.
You've been wondering, no doubt,
why so enormous a reward was OF
fered :"
Il have that" assented O'Rourke
1T was partly because of the dan
ger" said Sypher, intent upon his &C.
cupation. You know, these Burmese
are curiously pious folk; when one
Of them grows rich he employs the
major part of his fortune in building
temple-or in some such work. This
particular gentleman-a very wealthy
merchant-chose to give half OF what
he had to the restoration of the Pool
of Flame to the Buddha from which 1t
was originally stolen. But he. too,
was afraid. He's superstitious about
the stone-believes it bad luck to
touch it so long as it remains away
from it's Buddha. So he came to us.
/. l myself am not superstitious'
Jul
FIe ceased to speak abruptly, for the
Pool of Flame lay naked, a binding
marvel, in the hollow Of his palm.
O'Rourke heard him gasp and was
conscious of his FASTENED respiration.
Watching the man intently, he saw
a strange shade of pallor color his
face.
"'Tis meself," said the adventurer,
that's no more superstitious than We,
sir. Yet I'm willing to confess I'm
glad the things out of me hands at
last"
Sypher seemed to recollect himself
as one coming out of state Of stu
por. He stood up and buttoned the
ruby carefully into a pocket of his
trousers. Come" he said crisply.
Let us step across the street to the
bank. The moneys there for you, sir
the reward"

O'Rourke was not one to resist its al
lure. Four bells saw him lounging at
the rail below the bridge, staring hun
grily over toward the land. 1t was in
his mind that another twelve hours
or so would see him relieved of his
trust; and as the time drew nigh i'm
patience burned holly within him; he
had become full weary of the Pool Of
Flame and was anxious to be free of
the thing, to have it's chapter in his
history closed forever.
Far over the water a white and
flashing light lifted up and caught his
eye, nameless beacon bright against
the darkness at the base of the Ara
kan hills, guardian of the perils of
those shallow seas. And simultane-
ously he became conscious of pres
ence at his elbow; as he turned sharp
ly the English girl addressed him in
a voice sweet-toned and quiet.
What is that light, if you please,
Colonel O'Rourke?"

"Oh, I've grown quite weary of your
fame, Colonel O'Rourke," she coun-
tered with a trace of laughing impu-

Us it so?" said ORourke drily "Pos-
sibly. The vicomte lived in the man

deaths"
The subject languished, and after a
few more noncommittal Observances
De Hyeres wandered off, presumably
in search of the English girl, to whom
he had, been paying assiduous atten-
ton.
On closer scrutiny, she had proved
to be remarkably pretty girl; al
though, in point of fact. O'Rourke, for
all that he admired her looks i'm
mensely, had purposely avoided her.
This he did from motives Of prudence;
he mistrusted the combination formed
by De Hyeres and the Girl. The latter
might be all that she looked and claim
ed to be: a sweet, wholesome and rath-
er ingenious young Englishwoman. an
orphan, resident in Rangoon in the
household of an uncle, to whom she
was returning after a visit with
friends in Simla. On the passenger
list her name stood as Emilia Pyn-
sent. But the adventurer felt it the
course of wisdom to deny himself the
pleasure of her acquaintance, so long
as she permitted the attentions of the
| Frenchman.
Altogether, considering the hot
| weather and such selfimpOsed re-
| strictions, O'Rourke considered the
| voyage hardly a success from a social
| point of view. He kept pretty much
! to himself and to Danny, and to make
assurance doubly sure he instituted a
| new regime with regard to the Pool
of Flame: that jewel never left his
stateroom. When O'Rourke was on

ORourke filled in the pause.

girl.
