The Pool of Flame

By LOUIS JOSEPH VANCE

niuatratioaa by Ellsworth You|

Copyright 1909, by Louis Joseph V&uce CHAPTER XXVII. “Danny ...” said O’Rourke without looking up from the occupation which had engrossed his attention for the last three hours; and for the first time In that period he spoke audibly, making an end to the mumbled confabulation he had been holding with himself,, a Murray’s Guide, a Bradshaw, an Indian railway guide, several steamship folders and a large colored map of the Indian empire. “What day’s this day, Danny?” Danny thought laboriously. “ ’Twas this morn’ we lift th’ Ranee, sor? . / . Thin yestiddy was Wednesday.” “And today Thursday, be logical progress of reasoning, eh?” “Aw, yiss, sor.” “And what’s the time?” Danny consulted O’Rourke’s watch on the bureau. “A quarter av twilve.” “Then bestir yourself, ye lazy good-for-nothing, and pack up me things,” “Aw!” cried Danny, expostulant. “Our train leaves at two. Ye have an hour and a half.” “Aw, but yer honor, is ut no rist at all we’ll lver be havin’?" “Ye can rest on the train,” said O’Rourke. “I’ve just ten days left in which to reach Rangoon, where I’ve an appointment to keep with a lady, Danny, to wit, Madanfe O’Rourke. D’ye mind her, and do ye blame me, Danny?” Danny became suddenly extraordinarily busy. “Why did ye not say as much to begin with, yer honor?” he complained. “As if I wouldn’t work me hands to the stumps av thim. . . .” “ ’Tls now Thursday noon,” continued O’Rourke thoughtfully. “The two o’clock train’s scheduled to land us In Calcutta at ten Saturday night. At eight Sunday morning a steamer leaves Diamond Harbor for Rangoon, scheduled for a fair-weather passage of three days. That’ll leave us a little leeway, barring accidents. But we’ve no time to waste.” “But how’ll we he catching thot steamer at Di’mind Harbor, sor? How far’s that from Calcutta, now, an’ will there be thrainß at that hour av the night?” “That’s to be dealt with as it turns up, Danny. There’s only forty miles between the two places, and if there’s no train, we’ll charter a motor-car or a boat down the Hughli. . . .” The latter expedient O’Rourke flnallyudopted, although he could have afforded a comfortable night in a hotel at Calcutta, had he deemed it wise. But in the fifty-six hqurs of unmitigated sweltering that he and Danny endured In their flight across India he had leisure to think matters over very carefully, with the result that, all things considered, he felt justified In assuming the world to be in league against him and in shaping his course accordingly. Therefore It were unwise to permit himself to be seen and recognized in Calcutta, or even to linger on the soil of India an instant longer than absolutely necessary. Within an hour, then, of his arrival at Howrah, he had, by dint of persistence and rupees, succeeded in hiring a launch to take him from the terminus by water to the steamer at Diamond harbor—

CHAPTER XXVIII. At a small hour of the morning they made Diamond Harbor in pitch darkness and without misadventure were successful in causing themselves to be transhipped, bag and baggage, to the twinscrew steamship Poonah, which vessel, rode at anchor in midstream. Toward eight o'clock of the whitehot foreiioon that followed, O'Rourke, in the shadow of a long-boat on the Poonah’s promenade deck, stood finishing a matutinal cigar and watching narrowly a tender ferry out a final boatload of passengers from the eastern river back. Slowly the tender forged toward the steamer’s side; and as it drew near, O’Rourke forgot to smoke and bent over the rail to Inspect with unremitting interest those upon its decks. The forward deck of the tender held his regard but briefly; those who waked there, eyeing impassively the towering flanks of the liner, were one and all of the east, of races, creeds *and types too numerous to, catalogue. These the adventurer might not read, save individually upon personal contact If trouble was to come from them, collectively or individually, he would not know until the blow had fallen. On the other hand, he might be able to hazard shrewd surmises as to the potential animus inherent in any one of the Europeans who were to be his fallow passengers. The latter were a. mere handful; half a. dozen commercial travelers from London, Paris, Berlin, their avocations evident beyond dispute; a sal: lop English missionary with his withered wile, sombre figures in tW stark

sunlight, a red-faced deputy-sub-some-thing-or-other of the. Indian government, complacent in white drill and new pith helmet with a gay puggaree; a lone English girl, and a Frenchman. The two latter held the Irishman’s attention; the girl because, even at, a - distance, her ~ flgtff e and well-poised head seemed singularly fresh and attractive; the man because —well, because O’Rourke was susceptible to premonitions. He was a tall man and broad, the Frenchman—well-made, well-groomed, carrying himself with an indefinable air -of distinction. His face was rather pale (and therefore notable in that concourse of dark skins), its features strongly modeled, the mouth and chin masked by a neatly trimmed and pointed heard and mustache. O’Rourke could not have said that he had ever seen the man before; yet there was this and that about Llm which struck a spark of reminiscence from bis memory. A suspicion flashed through his mind which he put aside with disdain, as absurd and far-fetch-ed. On the other hand. . . . He knit his brows in puzzlement. The very fixity of his regard drew the eyes of its object upwards. They encountered O’Rourke’s, lingereddwiefe ly in an unveiled, inquiring- stare in which there was not to be detected tlie least hint of recognition, and passed onward casually, indifferently, ignoring the impertinence. The tender’s passengers began to stumble up the gang-plank to a lower deck of the liner; and O’Rourke, with a sober face, went below, taking some care to avoid contact with the incoming crowd. He found Danny was in his stateroom, engaged with some details of repair to the adventurer’s wardrobe, O’Rourke remained for a brief space standing in the middle of the cabin. visibly abstracted. Then abruptly .some whimsical consideration seemed to resolve his dubiety—as lightning will clear sultry, brooding air; a smile deepened the corners of his mouth, the flicker in his eye merged magically into a twinkle, the shrug of his broad shoulders conveyed an impression of casting care to the winds. “Danny, lad,” he remarked reflectively, throwing himself ungracefully upon the cushioned transom opposite to his berth. “Danny, ye wouldn’t lie to me, would ye now?” “Aw-w! ” reproved Danny. “Shure, yer honor knows ut isn’t in me at all.” And to himself; ‘That the" divvle now?” “Then tell me, Danny, truthfully; did ye ever see a ghost?” “Aw-w!” —seeing cause to take the query as a joke. “A ghost that had grown a beard since it had beco&e a ghost, Danny?” “Aw-aw-w!” —still willing to be amused, if “himself” chose to be facetious. “Because,” continued O’Rourke with a slight frown, “I have, and that not five minutes since.” “Aw?” “Wance'l left a man for dead, Danny, with a clean sword-thrust through the body of him—a misbegotten blackguard he was; hut I killed him in fair fight, sword to sword, and no favor. . . . And this bright and beautiful morning, lo and behold ye! who should come tripping up the gangplank but his ghost, as lively as ye please, and with a neat new beard!” "Aw-w?” —incredulously. O’Rourke frowned impatiently. “Des Trebes,” he explained. - “Aw——” “Stop it, ye parrot! Stop it, I say! Have ye no word in the dark lexicon -of your ignorance ether Get up, ye omadhaun, and take me respects to the purser and ask him please will he show ye the passen-ger-list.” The valet left with circumspect alacrity,.. Alone, O’Rourke rose and turned thoughtfully to a revolver that made a conspicuous black spot on the white counterpane of the berth, with nervous, strong fingers unlimbering the wetftjon and taking account of the brass dials of the cartridges that nestled snug in its six-chambered cylinder. The machine was in perfect condition; O’Rourke snapped the breech shut and thrust it in his pocket. Then he sat down to think, Subconsciously aware from noises without that the tender had swung off and the anchor was being tripped. Could the Resemblance be accidental? It seemed hardly possible. The Des Trebes he had known had been a type distinct, so clear and aloof from the general Frenchman that not even the addition of a beard to his physiognomy could hare proven a thorough disguise. And it seemed reasonable enough tp assume that, Mrs. Prynne having failed in her undertaking, Des

O'Rourke Could Not Have Said That He Had Ever Seen the Men Before.

Treoeß would resume his office as active head of their conspiracy. If it were indeed he whom O’Rourke had just seen, there was every chance imaginable that the final chapter in the history of the Irishman’s connectfbn with the Pool of Flame would prove an eventful one-- —• “Maybe not," admitted' O’Rourke, “maybe i deceive meself. But I’m persuaded I’ll do well to keep both me eyes open until the day I’m rid of the damned thing!” At this juncture Danny’s knock took him to the door. “Mongsero Raoul de Hyeres,” announced the valet breathlessly: “'tis thot the purser says his name is, yer honour.” “Yes,” assented O’Rourke dubiously. “But perhaps the purser’s mistaken—misinformed.” (To be continued

GRAIN MEN COMPLAIN ABOUT-PURE FOOD LAW.

Indiana Dealers Make Protest Against Interpretation Placed on Law by Dr. H. W. Wiley. Washington, March 3.—Shippers and grain dealers, from all over the country arrived here today in an agitated frame of mind “to pick a crow” with Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the Bureau of Chemistry, whose inspectors have been seizing and confiscating grain under authority of the pure food law. They want the seizers stopped and will insist that the pure food law either be given a more liberal construction than is placed upon it by Wiley, or that congress amend it so as to exempt grain from its provisions. Indiana’s opposition to the activities Wiley will be voiced by a committee of five of the most prominent grain men in the state, all of whom are at the New Willard Hotel, eager to get their case presented to the Washington authorities. In the delegation are P. E. Goodrich, of Winchester, president of the National Hay Association; C. B. Riley, of Indianapolis, secretary of the Indiana Grain Dealers’ Association; A. E. Reynolds, of Crawfordsville, chairman of the legislative committee of the National Grain Dealers’ Association; H. E. Kinney and Bert a Boyd-, members of the board of governors of the Indianapolis Board of Trade. The grain dealers found that Dr. Wiley was out of the city. They intended to “have it out” with him first, but as he is not expected back for two days, th£y decided to lay their grievances tomorrow before Secretaries Wilson, MacVeagh and Nagel, who comprise a hoard of appeals from Dr, Wiley’s decision. “Under Dr. Wiley’s ruling,” said Mr. Kinney, “fully 75 per cent of the corn raised in the United States last year cannot be shipped in interstate commerce unless it bears the label: ‘Not fit for human or animal food.' To illustrate how unfair Dr. Wiley’s ruling is, a dealer may contract to ship a carload of corn from Indianapolis to Washington that grades No 2 undeT the offlcial inspection at Indianapolis, but if, when it arrives in Washington, it is not such corn as should belong to that grade, it is subject to confiscation and the owner or original shipper is ,liable to a heavy penalty.” - “In the time corn to Washington it may change materially without the original shipper being responsible in th*e slightest degree for the deterioration.”

THEY ALL DEMAND IT

Rensselaer, Like Every City and Town in the Union, Receives It . People with kidney ills want to he cured. When one suffers the tortures of an aching back, relief is eagerly sought for. There are many remedies today that relieve,- but do not cure. Doan’s Kidney Pills have cured thousands. Here is Rensselaer evidence to prove it: Mrs. Aaron Hickman, N. Front Street, Rensselaer, Ind., says: “In my opinion Doan’s Kidney Pills are the best kidney medicine on the market. I have taken them at different times when suffering from attacks of backache and other symptoms' of kidney complaint and I have always received prompt relief. Three years ago I first began their use and they proved so satisfactory that I have had no desire to change to any other remedy. I was. so well pleased with the benefit I received from my first trial of Doan’s Kidney Pills that I gave a statement for publication recommending them in the spring of 1907. Since then when I have heard anyone complain of kidney trouble or backache, I have suggested that Doan’s Kidney Pills be procured at Fendig’s Drug Store and given a trial. Different members of my family have taken this remedy and like myself have been greatly benefited.” For sale by al dealers. Price 50 cents.
