CHAPTER xxx.-(continued.)
Sypher had very explicitly named
his dinner hour, after the formal Eng
fish fashion, nowhere and by nobody
more rigidly observed than by the
Englishman in the Orient; eight fo1

waited for a sampan on the lower
grating of the Poonah's passenger
gangplank he had round three-quar
tiers for an hour for leeway-ample lels

that part of RaEgoon lying between
the floating jetty and Sypher's resi-
dence in a suburb near Dalhousle
Park
Danny remained aboard ship only
temporarily, being instructed to follow
with ORourke's belongings to suitable
accommodations already engaged at a
hotel on the Strand, overlooking the
roadstead from whose windows
O'Rourke was promising himself the
pleasure of watching the arrival OF
tina steamship bearing his wife to his
arms.

A sampan slid noiselessly in beside
the grating. ORourke let himself eau
tiously into it and incontinently col
lapsed upon the rear seat as the boa
slid away toward the shore lights
yielding to the vigorous sweeps of the
single long oar welded by the Bur
man in the bows.
Ashore, tikkagharry caught hin

that winds between the Strand anc
the rivers edge, then whipped into
Mogul street, where the fluent tide
of life ran broad and deep beneath {
glare of light.
All too quickly the tikka whiske'
out of the main channel of the city''
life, out beyond the Mohammedal
mosque and the Chetti's hall and thu
Christian chapel, and into the soft
dense night of the countryside;
world of darkness sparsely studded Will
dim, glowing windows; and all to-

highway into private drive, crunche'

ORourke got down, discharged tn
driver and assembled the steps, littl
puzzled to find no one waiting to we

he was expected. But nobod
