Toward the close of the following day the Poonah dropped anchor in the river roadstead off Rangoon; and within the ensuing hour her passengers had deserted her, De Hyeres and Miss Pynsent in their van, O’Rourke among the last to leave. And nothing hindered him, not the least hitch delayed his disembarkation. It was curious, it jwas incredible, it was disturbing. He took away with him no ease of ,mlnd whatever. There were tikkagharries waiting, and without a breath's delay the adventurer and his servant nlimhod into the nearest and desired to be conveyed to the offices of Messrs. Secretan and Sypher. The vehicle whirled them swiftly away and into the amis-

In front of a structure of stone and Iron so palpably an office building that it might have been transplanted to the Strand without exciting comment —save for the spotless cleanliness of it —their tikkagharry drew up. The gharrlwallah Indicated the offices of Messrs. Secretan and Sypher, one flight up—and named his fare. O’Rourke paid him and plighted, with Danny at his heels and his heart trying to choke him. The hour of fulfilment was at hand —and all was * well! He who had faced death In a hundred shapes of terror, unflinching, found himself in a. flutter of nerves that would have disgraced a schoolgirl " ~ He dodged into the building, took the steps three at a stride . . . and suddenly found himself In the presence of, more than that, closeted with the man to meet whom he had crossed half the world at peril of his life: Mr. Lansdowue Sypher. “Colonel O’Rourke?” Sypher’s manner was very cordial. “I’m glad to see you. You are within your time, yet I bad begun to despair of you. Be seated.” He indicated a chair beside his desk. “And permit me; you of all men will appreciate the precaution.” ' He laughed and went to the windows, adjusting the wooden shades in such a manner that the light' was tempered and no portion of the room could be visible to anyone spying from a window In one of the adjacent buildings. The be turned and smiled cheerfully at the stupefied adventurer. “Thave it here,” said O'Rourke; “sate be the mercy of several highly potential saints!” He laughed uneasily, fumbling In his breast pocket “There it la,’’ said ha, tossing the stone in its chamois covering upon the, solicitor’s desk. Sypher himself betrayed some evidences of nervousness as he sat forward and lifted the case by Its leathern thongs. He let it dangle before him for an instant, watching it with a curious, speculative smile. . . . “Well,’’ he said, “really . . . P And after a pause; “I congratulate you. Colonel O’Rourke. And I admire you immensely. . . . You tee. when this commission was offered us, I considered seriously the project of going In search of.you in person and bringing.the stone hack to Rangoon myself. But then —although I’m hot really a timorous man—l knew the circumstances so weU —I, feared I should never reach Rangoon alive. Yes.” He thrust a hand into his waistcoat pocket and produced.a penknife, with which he began to slit the stitches that enclosed the ruby. “You’ve been wondering, no doubt, why so enormous a reward was offered. . . “I have that,” assented O’Rourke. “It was pertly because of the danger,” said Sypher, intent upon his occupation. “You know, these Burmese pious one

He’s superstitious about the stone —believes it bad luok to touch it so long as It remains away from its Buddha So lie came to us. ... I myself am not superstitious, but . . .” a He ceased to speak abruptly, for the Pool of Flame lay naked, a blinding marvel, in the hollow of bis palm. O’Rourke heard him gasp and was conscious of his hastened respiration. Watching the man Intently, he saw a strange shade of pallor color Ms face. “ ’Tis meself,” said the adventurer, “that’s no more superstitious than ye, air. Tet I’m willing to confess I’m glad the thing’s out of me bands at last” Sypher seemed to recollect Himself as one coming out of a state of stupor. He stood up and buttoned the ruby carefully into a pocket of his trousers. “Come,” he said crisply. “Let us step across the street to the bank.
