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 its chapter in his
history closed forever.
Far over the water 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

a voice sweet-toned and quiet.

The subject languished, and after a
few more noncommittal observances
De Hyeres wandered off. presumably
in search OF the English girl, to whom

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 inn
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 Engl:shwoman. an
orphan, resident in Rangoon in the
household OF an uncle, to whom she
was returning after 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 self,imposed re-
strictions, O'Rourke considered the
voyage hardly success from 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

versa. BY night they stood regular
watches together. the one on guard
while the other slept. Clearly the adj
yenturer was determined that no lack
of safeguards on his part should again
deprive him of the ruby.
But it's no easy matter to avoid
meeting any particular person on a
ship with small saloon list. unless
one is willing to be purposely rude
and discourteous. For all his warl-
ness the Irishman was to carry with
him personal impression of Miss
