The Fool of Flame

By JOSEPH VANCE

LOUIS

Dhatratioas by EllairarA Taaag hi

Copyright 1909, by Louis Joseph Vance SYNOPSIS. CHAPTER I.—The story opens at Monte Carlo with Col. Terence O’Rourke tn his hotel. O'Rourke, a military free lance and something of a gambler. Is dressing for appearance tn the restaurant below when the aotlnd 'of a girlish voice tinging attracts hie attention. Leaning out on the balcony he sees a beautiful girl who suddenly disappears. He rushes to the corridor to see a neatly gowned form enter the elevator and pass from CHAPTER n-O’Rourke’s mind to filled with-thoughts of the girl, and when he goes to the gaming table he allows his remarkable winnings to accumulate indifferently. He notices two men watching him. One is the Hon. Bertie Glynn, while his companion is Viscount Des Trebes, a noted duelist. When O’Rourke leaves the table'the viscount tells him he represents the French government and that he has been directed to O'Rourke as a man who would undertake a secret mission. ■ CHAPTER tn.—At his room O’Rourke, who had agreed to undertake the thlssion, awaits the viscount. O’Rourke finds a mysterious letter in his apartment. The viscount arrives, hands a sealed package to O’Rourke, who is not to open it until on the ocean. He says the French government will pay O’Rourke 25,000 francs for his services. A pair of dainty slippers are seen protruding from under a doorway curtain and the viscount charges O’Rourke with having a spy secreted 1 there. CHAPTER IV.—When the Irishman goes to his room he finds there the owner of the mysterious- feet. It is his wife, Beatrix, from whorri he had run away a year previous. They are reconciled, and opening the letter he had received, he finds that a law firm In Rangoon, India, offers him 100.000 pounds for an Indian jewel known as the Pool of Flame and left to him by a dying friend. O'Rourke tells his wife that it Is tn the keeping of a friend named Chambret tn Algeria. CHAPTER V.—O’Rourke Is forced to fight a duel with the viscount. The braggart nobleman is worsted in the combat and acts the poltroon.

CHAPTER Vl—The loyal wife bids O’Rourke farewell and ’he promises to soon return with the reward offered for the Pool of Flame. He discovers both Glynn and the viscount on board th* ship which takes him to Algeria. CHAPTER VTT.—Chambret- has left Algeria and O’Rourke has to gain a military detachment going across the desert te reach his friend. As he finds the latter there is an attack by bandits and Chambret is shot. CHAPTER vni.—Chamhrst dies telling O'Rourke that he has left the Pool of Flame with the governor general of Algeria. He gives the colonel a signet ring at the sight of which he says the official will, deliver over the Jewel. CHAPTER IX.—O'Rourke is attacked hy Glynn and -the viscount who- ransack hts luggage, but he worsts them tn conflict. CHAPTER X.—When he arrives at Algeria the finds the governor general away. He receives a note from Des Trebes making a mysterious appointment CHAPTER Xl.—The viscount tells O'Rourke that he has gained possession of the jewel by stealing It from the safe of the governor general. He does not, however, know who has offered the reward for it. He suggests a duel with rapiers, the victor to get that information and the jewel. CHAPTER Xlft. The efforts of O'Rourke are now directed toward speedily getting to Rangoon with the Jewel and he starts by shift; ' __i— CHAPTER XIV.—He finds the captain of the vessel'to be a smuggler who triesto Stea! the jewel from hitn. CHAPTER XV. He opened his eyes again, alone on the cool, damp, earthen floor, but assured that the feminine element In his adventure had been no hallucination, after all; for he could see the girl standing a little to one side and looking down upon him, her face so deep in shadow that he could gather nothing from its expression, whether it were of displeasure or of perplexity. From this and that, however, he deduced that she, discovering herself lavishing endearments on the wrong man, was not utterly delighted with the situation. The circumstances taken into consideration, such a state of mind he thought not unreasonable;' and being now to some extent recovered, he saw no profit in making her suffer more. So with a show of faintness not wholly assumed, he rolled his head to one side, opening wide his eyes and looked the woman in the face, inquiring with his faint, thin brogue: “What’s this, now, me dear?" The girl’s face darkened. She shook her head impatiently. “I have no English,” she told him in excellent French. “Who are you? Why do you come here? You are not Danny!" “Oho!" commented O’Rourke knowingly, “and that’s the explanation, is it?” He sat up, embracing his knees and drawing a rueful face. “Faith, me dear,” he admitted, “I concede ye the best of the argument, thus far. . I am not Danny—’tls true as Gospel.” She frowned. “Then what are you doing here, monsieur? How did you learn —who told you—the signal?” “Faith, from no less a person than Danny Mahone himself. He showed me the way and bade me knock—but nlver a word said he of yourself, me dear.” “Monsieur does not recall that I admitted him?” she persisted, but with a lightening face, “nor anything that happened thereafter?” “Not the least in the world. What did happen, now?" Bat she flanked that embarrassing question adroitly, eridenUr much relieved by O’Rourke’s reassurance. Which was just what he wished her frame of mind to bo. “Nothing that

matters,” ate replied, continuing to employ the French tongue, and that very prettily, with a fetching little accent. “I think you fainted. Then —but you know my Danny?” “Your Danny!” said O’Rourke, his mood quizzical. “None better, me dear. I've known him since be was so high, or thereabouts.” And he held a palm some six inches or so above' the floor. “And he—he brought you here?" “Who else? , How else would I be knowing the signal? Ye see, there was a bit of a shindig down the street and me In the middle thereof and getting all the worst of it —If ye must know — when along comes Danny and lends me a hand and whips me off here and says he’ll be back in a moment. He’ll tell ye the details himself;, but I” he eyed her quizzically—“would now ask ye to overlook the unceremonious manner of me entrance and a certain lack of dignity as to me attlrfc, which I beg ye to believe is not me ordinary evening dress, and—and faith! me throat is baked entirely, if me clothes are not. May I ask for a drink at mademoiselle’s fair hands?” He was on his feet now and enjoying the situation hugely. “And ’tis the Irish eye for beauty Danny has!” he told himself. “I commend his taste, the rogue!” For the girl was exceedingly fair to see; slender and straight and girlish and sweet; a Greek, if he were to judge of her features and her dress, and ih that odd light, with perturbation in her pose, a smile half-perplexed trembling on her lips (because of ’ O’Rourke’s conceit) and the shadow of anxiety clouding her eyes, she made a 1 charming picture indeed. . i She was quick to grant his request.! “Danny will explain,” she agreed with conviction. “This way, then, if, you ' please, monsieur, and”—as they passed through a low doorway—“lf you will have the patience to wait here, rwUT fetch wine.”

She smiled enchantlngly, dropped him a bewitching little courtesy with, a deference evoked, no doubt, by the man’s subtle yet ineradicable air of distinction, and left him whoHy captivated. “Bless her heart and pretty face!” he murmured, eyeing her re.treating figure. “ ’Tls Danny who’s the lucky dog . . . not that he’s not deserving. . . He reviewed his refuge summarily, discovering that he stood in one corner of a small .gourtyard, the center of a hollow cube of masonry; a dwelling of two stories, round whose upper fldor ran an inner gallery to which steps led up from the court and from which access was to be bad to the living rooms —all dark and Silent. In the center of the courtyard ai little fountain tinkled, a tiny jet of water rising from the central upright of stone to spray the black, star-smit- i ten pool beneath. There was a little plot of grass, likewise, with flowers generous of their cordial perfume. The girl came silently out from the -shadows beneath the gallery, bringing: him a cup and a jpr of earthenware brimming with wine. He accepted the service with a bow . ~ “Mademoiselle is as kind as she la' beautiful!” said be, and with the ap predation of a connoisseur first watched her blush, then drained the j jug to its last drop and felt the grate ful fluid grapple with his fatigue, tern- j per it. and Bend new strength leaping. through his veins. “And as good, I’m' sure, as she is kind,” he addled; and “Ah!” he sighed, resuming his seal but rising again,, and’ quickly, as a second summops clanged upon the' iron door and sent the girl flyipg to wards the rear of the boyse.,,'' “That will be Danny now," O’Rourke opined as she swept past him.

She murmured a response he did not clearly catch. “What’s that?” he called after her. “Or, possibly,” she repeated, pausing at the entrance to the rear chamber, “it may be Monsieur the Captain Hole!” “The dlvvle!” cried O’Rourke, and was on his feet in a twinkling, cast ing about him for a weapon. “That can’t be —” Nothing oAered Itself suitable eithet for offense or defense, save and except the jug he had been drinking' frbm, and the Irishman was weighing thia thoughtfully with a definite intention of hurling it at Captain Hole’s head, if indeed he had heard aright, when the entrance of quite another person relieved his mind, however temporarily. It was Danny, plainly enough; Danny, the same as of old, with his halfsheepish,' half-impudent grin and his shock of flaming hair, his upper lip that was long even for an Irish boy’s, his roving and twinkling blue eyes, his tip-tilted nose, his short, sturdy physique. “Faith,” said O’Rourke, “the gods are not so unkind after all! ’Tls as welcome as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land, the sight of ye, Danny!” And “Danny!” he observed with soma severity, “I’ll ask- ye to explain what the dlvvle at all ye’re doing here.” Danny’s assurance deserted him on, the instant. He had done his former master a signal service that night, but in his estimation nothing more than was due the O’Rourke. Whatever he felt, he looked to perfection a boy caught at mischief—hanging his head and eyeing O’Rourke under his brows, shamefaced and ill at ease. \ “Aw!” he deprecated, “sure, now, yer honor, now—” “Danny,” demanded O’Rourke sternly, “does Miss Cleopatra here understand English?” “Dlvvle a word!” the ex-valet pro tested earnestly. "Beyond Greek and French and Arable, sure-, she’s ignorant as Paddy’s pig!” Bo much was plainly evident from the girl'* manner and expression of

true oriental splendor. I believe I am safe in saying that it was the tent city that has ever been known. In India it is the same as in the United States, one may pass quickly from scenes of extreme poverty to those of magnificent luxury. My letter grows long. I must hasten to say that as I stepped into the amphitheatre on Tuesday my eyes fell upon the most wonderful sights I have ever ■ seen, that is, where the people make up the picture. There were said .to be 50,000 people in an open amphitheatre, 20,000 in a covered amphitheatre, while 20,000 soldiers in full dress uniform stood in the open space between. That many people gathered together in the States would make a great sight but here it makes a picture beyond comparison. There were masses of green, patches of yellow, and then white with spots of red everywhere—the most lavish profusion of colors imaginable. The Indians wear such bright colors that one never grows tired of looking at a great crowd of them. And then the troops in red coats and white helmets, others in dark colors, each carrying a small pennant. Others, Indian troops with red turbans, and so pn, all in line—2o,ooo of them—I can not describe the beauty of it all. The ceremony was not very interesting, so I shall not write more about the durbar. We are enjoying India and send a greeting to all our -friends.. GLENN P. WISHARD.

puzzlement. Reassured, O’Rourke proceeded: . “ ’Tis good hearing. Faith, if she understood the King’s English, 'tls me hair she would be tearing out by the roots in one minute. Danny, 1 gather that the lady is be way of liking ye more than ye deserve. Is it in love with you she Is?” Danny stole a sidelong glance at the girl. “Beggln’ yer honor’s pardon,” he stammered, “and I belave she is that.” “Umm!” snorted O’Rourke. “And what, if ye please, about poor Annie Bragin, at home? Is it marrying a Greek ye would be. and leaving poor Annie to cry her eyes out for ye, ye ■ worthless scut “Dlvvle a bit, respects to yer hon*or! Sure, 'tis only for amusement —” “And who may she be, that ye make so free to amuse yourself with her?" “The daughter av me partner, yer honor, Noccovle, the Greek tobaccy merchant.” “This will be hts house, then?" “No,’sir, but a—a sort av a sthorehouse. in a way av speaking. ’Tls jist ’round th’ corner they do be livin’ in a gran’ folne house, sir.” “Then what’s the young lady doing here?” • “Waiting for me to take her place, sir. Noccovle is away and —rad,” in a blurted confession, “’tis a bit of hashish smuggling we be doing on the side. The stuff is always brought here, sor; and tonight’s the. night a consignment’s due.” “Ah-h!” observed O’Rourke darkly. One by one, it seemed, he was gathering the trumps again into his own hand. He resigned his catechism, of the boy. “Danny, Is this, the way,a decent man should be behaving, himself?” he browbeat him. “Is It your mother’s son and the sweetheart of Annie Bragin that’s become no more than an idle breaker of hearts? Danny, Danny, what would Father Malachi be saying if he could hear what ye’ve just told me? Whin, boy, did ye confess last?"

Danny cowereq. , aw, aearr - ne /Whimpered. “Aw, dearie-dear! And meself meant no harm at all!" “Thin take your light-o’-love home, Danny, and come back to me here at once with a change of clothes!" “Ylss, yer honor.

Lively, now!" Alone, O’Rourke seated himself on the edge of the fountain and consld-.. ered gravely the uncertainties of Ilse. . “ ’Tls fate,” he concluded soberly, at length. “And ’tls hard upon eleven now. They will, not dare to run .that cargo before midnight; and—ra eself sorely needs a bath.” Deliberately he stripped off rags and tatters and plunged into the fountain. Danny was back with the promised wearing apparel ere he had finished splashing » And whllq, O’Rourke dressed, and for tong thereafter, the two sat and smoked and confabulated, talked of Men and Things and the turn of the Wheel of the World.

Another Big Crowd Attended Thursday Evening Service.

The Methodist church was again filled Thursday night and the audience was much' pleased with the service. Rev. Winn delivered a powerful sermon, which is briefly reviewed below. Mr. Kurtz proved himself an able song leader in the service that preceded the sermon, but he undertook an innovation that did not prove popular with the audience. He pointed out a lady in the audience and asked her to stand and sing the chorus by herself. He was unwilling to accept her refusal and next asked two or three members of the choir to sing the chorus. His act was doubtless well meant but somewhat presumptious and was very embarrasing for the ■woman, and consequently criticised by most people in the audience. A little circumstance of the kind, however, should not mar the interest in the meeting in any wa/’and it will probably be a good lesson tothe leader, who will find it prudent in the future to arrange with his solo singers in advance. The following concerning Rev. Winn’s'sermon will be read with interest:

“Your heart is not right with God. So repent of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord, that, if possible, you may be forgiven for such a thought; for I see that you have fallen into bitter jealousy and are in bondage ttf iniquity.” ' , When Peter spoke the above words to Simon he- gave him a problem to solve. He was in bondage to iniquity. He was a slave to sin. Therefore, his problenr was to change masters. This change was to be brought abou* through a psychical and not a physical process. The mere fact of giving physical expression to sorrow for deeds done is not evidence that true repentance is present. Actions or Trotessions that do not come out of the heart are hypocritical. A man may have sorrow for sin who never repents. While repentance must follow sorrow, yet the process maj' be arrested before the repentance is reached. A drukard may be sorry for his life of sin, and yet never repent or change his mind with respect to his life of dissipation.

It is not human sorrow which worketh repentance, but, “Godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of.” Again we read: “Now I rejoice, not that we were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance.” Spurgeon says: “A man must be as deep as hell in repentance, and as high as heaven in faith.” The “Prodigal Son” is a true case of repentance. He left home and by riotous living he came to destitution and want Thoughts of. his .father’s goodness and plenty and his own destitution made him sorry for his past life. He thought of his past life, became sorry and determined to change his course of fife. He arose and went to his father. This was true repentance.

There are two facts men must face to insure happiness: Man’s susceptibility to sin. There are four points of contact for sin with which man must reckon: Pride, for “Fools make a mock at sin” Prov. 14:^,-conceit, for “Fools rage and are confident,” Prov. 14:16; Lust, for “The lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is not of the Father but is of the world,” Jno. 2:16; Deceit, for “But exhort one another daily, lest any of yon be hardened through deceitfulness of sin,” Heb. 3:13. The second: Sovereignty of Jesus over sin. “What manner of man is this that even the winds and the sea obey him?” Mt. 8:27. He rules where tempered authority stops. He rules in the realm of Faith. He rules under the banner of truth. He rules in an unseen yet eternal realm. The wages of sin’ is death. The reward of righteuosness is life. -- A Jewish Rabbi said: “Let every man repent one dajj before he dies, and since he may die tomorrow, let him take, heed to turn from his evil ways today.”

North Judson Here For Basketball Gome With R. H. S.

North Judson high school basketball team came this morning for their game tonight- with the Rensselaer .high school team. The visitors are a fine looking set of fellows, of good height, a basketball advantage, and they come from the north with a fair amount of confidence. Owing to the services at the church the game will not be begun until 8:30 o’clock. A large attendance is hoped for as the expense of this game is upward of S3O.
