the woman stood above the captain.
His arm was paining him somewhat,
with the irritating, singing ache that
such wounds produce, and he thrust
one revolver into his pocket, clasping
a hand above the hurt.
In a flash realization of his loss
came to him; he clutched the rail with
a cry. The Pool of Flame, his sacred
trust, was gone! His eyes searched
the deck wildly, but found no trace OF
the round leather bag with it's preci-
Gus burden. Despair gripped his heart
in a clutch of ice, and for space the
ship reeled about him.
He found himself gazing blankly in
to the woman's solicitous eyes. What
is it? What Is it?'' he heard her voice
repeating breathlessly. He knew that
his own lips moved for some seconds
without sound as he strOve to answer
her. The words, when they came.

to her; he realized this almost as soon
as he had uttered them: 1.-The Pool

Then he stumbled forward, crying
aloud for the serang. Halfway to the
ladder he halted; that individuals

again retreated to the scene of the
tragedy.
Had he been in a condition, to think
coherently, he might have acted more
prudently. But maddened, he was
able to grasp but one fact; that the
Pool of Flame was gone and must be
recovered at whatever hazard.
The lascar came with what might
have seemed suspicious alacrity, con-
sidering the fact that he was coerced,
that O'Rourke held him at the pistols
point. Gaunt and sombre in the

CHAPTER XIV.

Mrs. Prynne, reused out of her semi
stupor by O'Rourke's cry, with some
return of her habitual clearness of
thought, stepped to the companionway
and called for her maid.
O'Rourke passed a hand over his
eyes, and brought it away black with
blood, but was no more than half
aware of this. Dazed and heart-brok-
en-, he stared blankly round the sham
bles that was the deck, then, recover
ing slightly, saw Cecile join her mis-
tress, and realized that, whatever his
personal grief, pain and despair, he
must play the part of the O'Rourke.
So he turned and staggered down into
the saloon.
Danny was in his berth, sleeping the
childlik1 and loglike sleep that was
ever his. Dravos, below, his ears deaf
ened by the mighty chant of his en-
gines, had been no more conscious of
the drama on deck than had Danny
O'Rourke caught the boy with hands
that gripped his shoulders cruelty, and
shook him awake, then methodically
booted him up the steps to the deck.
Once here, Danny came to his prop
err senses and fell with will to the
tasks O'Rourke set for him. With &C.
cile he lifted the unconscious captain
and bore him down to his berth. then
left him to the ministrations Of mis-
tress and maid and returned to throw
overheard the last corpse, that of the
lascar whom the serang had set to
STAY the adventurer from behind.
O'Rourke himself proceeded to the
bridge, where he found the helmsman
still at the wheel, soberiy keeping the
vessel on her course. The clrcum-
stance at the time surprised him; but
il afterwards was developed by dint
of cross -examination of the remainder
of the crew that the serang had spe-

limp, he advanced without a pause un-
til about six feet from the Irishman;
at which distance O'Rourke, collect
ing his wits, found voice enough to bid
the fellow, Stop"
The serang halted, impassive. un-

an even voice. Il am come. What Ia

His words, together with his half
indolent, half-detiant. wholly contemp-
tuous bearing, supplied the one thing
needful to restore to the adyenturer
his seif-control O'Rourke drew him
self up, master of self once more, and
looked the lascar in the eye.

The serang stiffened, his eyes glist-
ening in the moonlight. "Sahib!" he
cried as if in supplication.

sternly. do as bid We, or abide the
result of disobedience!"
"Tbe sahib," said the serang SLOW
ly, 'is full of eyes and wisdom. He

his head with curious submissiveness,
stretching forth his palms as IL in
token o. surrender.
O'Rourke caught at his breath. He
had scarcely hoped for this; he had
merely called the serang aft as the
leader of the lascars, hoping to fright
en- him into revealing whichever of
his comrades had stolen the great
ruby-if he knew.
'Ye have, then, the leather bag?" he
demanded, exultation in his voice.

THE stone?"
AYE, sahib."
Then give it me-"
Il am the sahib's slave" The Sc
rang flashed a strange smile at the
revolver in O'Rourke's hand. His at
titude puzzled O'Rourke; he would
hardly have believed this Of the man;
rather he could have conceived Of him
as denying the theft to the last and
fighting like an unclaimed f1end to re-
tain his booty. His present pose was
out of character, or the Irishman mis-
judged him.
Out of character or no, it was COM
Portable. The serang, with head bent,
was fumbling in the folds of his sash;
O'Rourke thought him over long about
it, yet was inclined to give him time
ir view of his abiect surrender.
At length, still smiling oddly, the
man lifted his eyes and stretched
forth a hand tight closed. THE sa-

pain blinded him that it was patent
firing Oh the shots. To his left
stricken lascar was still in the act of
falling; before him Mrs. Prynne stood
motionless, her face mask of horror,
revolver still poised; to the right the
serang. drawing a kris, was smiling
sardonically, his eyes fixed upon the
woman who had set at naught his
plans
O'Rourke tried to call a warning to
her, for it was plain that she was ap-
palled by what she had done, needless
of all but the man she had killed; but
it was as If the bullet that creased his
temple had temporarily pGralyzed
him; his tongue clave to the roof of
his mouth and he could neither move
nor speak.
Powerless Che believed), he watched
the serang gather himself together,
like some gaunt cat, and spring; in
two strides he would have been upon
the woman and the night had been
crowned with it's most pitiful crime
Yet in midair, O'Rourke saw the man
falter and fall back, dropping the
kris and clutching frantically at moth
ing.
Stupidity the adventurer saw the
smoke trickling from the muzzle of
his own revolver and knew that, some
how, he had managed to pull the trig-
ger. His heart leapt in his breast, so
keen was his gratitude. Trembling
in every limb, he essayed a second
time to fire and put final period to
the serangs career. But his shot
went wide and the cylinder damned
so that the hammer would not rise
a second time. With an oath he let
go the rail and attempted to bridge
the distance between himself and the
lascar, who was now at considera.
BILE distance Keeling away toward the
rail.
But his overtaxed strength, Slapped
by loss of blood, failed him; and NAL
ice infused new vigor into the serang,
new power to accomplish his final
fiendiSh act.
Grinning with anguish, the man
leapt away from ORourke, staggered
and, jerking back his arm, flung the
Pool of Flame from him with all his
might.
O'Rourke paused, petrifed with de-
spair. The great stone, glinting in
the moonlight like the very heart of
fire, described long and flaming arc
and the sea leapt up with
hiss to welcome it and it was gone.
A bitter cry broke from the Irish
mans lips; he made for the man,
whom he would gladly have killed
with his bare hands. But again he
failed. The lascar, perhaps guessing
his intention, was at the last too quick
for him.
BY supreme effort the gaunt Sc
rang seized the rail, lifted himself up
on it, and dropped over the side, fol-
lowing that to win which he had CIV
en- his life.

battle, whether for or against his
brethren. The stabbing of Quick
seemed to have been accidental, or
necessary under circumstances unfore-
seen.
AS a matter of fact, the remainder
of the lascars were thoroughly cowed
and proved intellectually docile for the
balance of the trip.
Thus it was that the voyage of the
Rance from Alden to Bombay was
pushed through without further fatal
ity. To the Irishman, however, must
go more than half the credit; for for
ty-eight hours he never left the bridge
nor once closed mis- eyes in slumber.

be accredited to the hither side of the
footlights, however. The Juggling is so
good you don't notice the audience af-
ter the frst time or two.
It's too bad vaudeville performers
can't be permitted to hand it out
straight when they really have some
thing good.
Instead of wrapping it up in a lot OF
silly stuff so the audience will swal-
low it thinking they're getting some
thing else.

lians know it.

thing of the class heard lately here.
THAT Woman Next Door," down as
a "playlet," gives an opportunity for
the masculine member of the aggrega-
ton of two to do some good character
theatrics-very good indeed is he and
very ably complemented by the femi-
nine member of the company This
sketch is a welcome variation from
the usual vaudeville "playlet"-which,
by the bye is a sort of mongrel nomen-
clature-and is excessively diverting.
Altogether the bill is very far re-
moved from being bad.
