CHAPTER XII.

Early in the dull hot dawn a clat'
ter of winches and a hustle Of
shadowy figures on the deck Of a
small trading vessel, which had spent
the night between the moles of the
>harbor Of A1giers, announced that the
anchor was being weighed.
While this was taking place small
! harbor boat, manned by two native
watermen and carrying single pas
esenger, put out from the steamship
quay, the oarsmen rowing with a will
that limited at a premium having been
placed upon their speed. The coaster
was barely under way, moving slow
ly in the water, when the boat ran
alongside. A line was thrown from
the ship and caught by one Of the
-watermen, the boat hauled close in,
and its passenger taken on deck.
An hour later, pipe between his
Ateeth, O'Rourke stood by the helms
man, staring back over the heaving
ekpanse, swiftly widening. that lay be.
tween the coaster and the Algerian
httoral. The world behind was gray
and wan, but the skies ahead were
golden. "a fair omen!" breathed the
adventurer hopefully.
The bulk of the great ruby in his
pocket brought his thought back in q
wide swing to the girl who would be
waiting for him at Rangoon. Faith,

CHAPTER XIII.

Some time in the golden Afternoon
Of the following day, the Pelicar
weighed anchor and slouched with &
loafsh air out of the harbor Of the
Piraeus.
"Plyn Bill 'Ole," the captain said
he preferred to be called. And "Plair

as for meself," he concluded later
I'm no siren in. this rig" And he
lifted his eyebrows, protruding his
lower lip, as he glanced down over his
attire.
1t was a strange rig for the O'Rourke
to be in: an engineers blue jumper
much the worse for wear, and a pail
of trousers whose seat, O'Rourke
maintained, was only held together by
its coating of dirt and grease.
O'Rourke eyed this get-up with dis
dain. Fortunately" he comforted
himself, "twon't be forever I'll be
wearing it,
In the present instance, the dis
guise was held an advisable thing.
since O'Rourke was officially register
ed on the ships books as assistant en-
gineer. The Pelican carried no Ii.
cense for passengers, and in view Of
his ayowed purpose it was deemed
unwise for the Irishman to risk &c.
lection by appearing "too tony" Gan
expression culled from the captain s
vocabulary.
Otherwise, it was understood that
his duties were to consist of the pur.
suit of his own sweet will, that he
was to occupy stateroom aft, and
that he was to mess at the captains
table.
On an evening, some nine or ten
lays after he had left Athens,
)'Rourke at the forward rail saw the
?rg. l.w rrodle of Egypt edge up out

had no need to be in haste to change
from his present garb to one tha

THIS KEROSENE WAGON
STARTLES THE NATIVES

Atlanta, Nov. 21.-A young Allan
tian claims to have invented an au-
tofhobile motor which will run by
kerosene as well as gasoline and when
operated on gasoline will consume
half as much of the liquid per horse
power as any other motor now does.
1t is said here that if his invention
pans out it will revolutionize auto
building. The motor has only two cy-
linders but the cylinders are double,
in the sense that they have spark
plugs both in the top and bottom, the
piston fires as it goes down and again
as 1t comes back up. The young in
ventor claims that his motor is silent
and that it will generate as much
power with its two cylinders as any
big six-cylinder car. His invention is
radically different from anything that
has ever been seen before.

Atlanta, Ca, Nov. 24.-Disclosure
by Miss Genevieve Goodwin, 10 years

gether likely he vrill. It would not be
surprising to set him choose the
committee on commerce for his chair
manship.
If Senator Tillman decides not to
take the headship of appropriations,
generally considered the most impor-
tant Of all the committees of the Sen
ate, Senator Culberson, of Texas,
would be next in line. But Mr.. Gull
berson would be likely to dodge this
exacting craftsmanship on account OF
his health, and then Senator Martin
would be reached. The Virginian
would hardly have the caucus chair
manship and the appropriations chair
manship at the same time, and he
would probably remain on the appro-
priations committee as ranking men,
ber.
Overman Next In Line.
Should Tillman, Martin and Gull
berson all three waive their eligibility
for the appropriations primacy, the
Senator who would have the call,
would be Mr.. Overman, of North Car
olina. With Senator Simmons, the
senior North Carolinain, slated for the
chairmanship of finance, the great
tariff committee of the Senate, North
Carolina would indeed be in position
of power in the upper house of the
63rd Congress. Senator Simmons is
now ranking minority member of the
committees on coast defence and in
ter-oceanic canals. Should Senator
Simmons become head of the finance
committee in the next Congress, Sen,
ator Smith, of Maryland, would be
in line for the coast defence chair
panship; Senator Johnston, of Ala
bama, would have the interoceanic ca
nal Craftsmanship at his disposal-but
Mr.. johnson would pretty surely pre-
fer the chairmanship of the commit
tee on military affairs, giving way
to Senator Thornton, of Louisiana, for
the canal houor.
Retaining his place on the naval af-
fairs committee, Senator Swanson. of
Virginia, will be sure of at least the
Craftsmanship of the committee on
public buildings and grounds. Senator
Culberson, of Texas, now ranks him
on that committee, but when Senator
Bacon of Georgia, takes the chair
manship of foreign relations, that
will leave Culberson in line for the
Craftsmanship of the judiciary conf
mittee, which would be just to his lik-
ing.
Senator Bankhead of Alabama, is
now the ranking Democratic member
Of the committee on agriculture end
the committee on postoffices and post
roads. Should he elect to take agri-
culture, Senator E. D. Smith of South
Carolina would be in line for the very
important postoffice chairmanship.
