He opened his eyes ,again, alone 0! the cool, damp, earthen floor, but as sured that the feminine element in his adventure had been no hallucination after all; for he could see the gi' standing a little to one side and look ing down upon him, her face so deei in shadow that he could gather noth ing from its expression, whether ii were of displeasure or of perplexity From this and that, however, he de duced that she, discovering hersell lavishing endearments on the wrong man, was not utterly delighted with; the situation. The circumstances tak en into consideration, such a state oi mind he thought not unreasonable: and being now to some extent recov -ered, he saw no profit in making hei suffer more. So with a show ol faintness not wholly assumed, hE rolled his head to one side, opening - wide his eyes and looked the womar in the face, inquiring with his faint thin brogue: ."What's this, now, me dear?" The girl's face darkened. She shoolt her head impatiently. "I have no Eng lish," she told him in excellent French "Who are you? Why do you c-ome here? You are not Danny!" "Oho!" commented O'Rourke know Ingly, "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 an: not Danny-'tis true as Gospel." .'She frowned. "Then what are yor doing here, monsieur? How did yov learn-who told you-the signal?" "Faith, from no less a person thaD Danny Mahone himself. He showed me the way and bade me knock-but niver a word said he of yourself, me dear." "Monsieur does not recall that I ad mitted h'm?" she persisted, but with a lightening face, "nor anything thai happened thereafter?" "Not the least in the world. What did happen. now?" But she flanked that embarrassing question adroiLly, evidereliy much re lieved by & J..' enrnce LiW matters," she replied, continuing t employ the French tongue, and tha very prettily, with a fetching little a< cent. "I think you fainted. Then-bu you know my Danny?" "Your Danny!" said O'Rourke, hi mood quizzical. "None better, me deal I've known him since he was so higb or thereabouts." And he held a pali some six' inches or so above the flool "And he-he brought you here?" "Who else? How else would I b knowing the signal? Ye see, there wa a bit of a shindig down the street an me in the middle thereof and gettin all the worst of it-if ye must know when along comes Danny and lend me a hand and whips me off here an says he'll be back in a moment. He' tell ye the details himself; but I" he eyed her quizzically-"would no' ask ye to overlook the unceremoniot manner of' me entrance and a certai lack of dignity as to me attire, whic I beg ye to believe is not me ordinar evening dress, and-and faith! m throat is baked entirely, if me clothe are not. May I ask for a drink a mademoiselle's fair hands?" He was on his feet now and e: joying the situation hugely. "And 't the Irish eye for beauty Danny has! he told himself. "I commend his tast the rogue!" For the girl was exceedingly fair 1 see; slender and straight and girlis and sweet; a Greek, if he were 1 judge of her features and her dres and in that odd light, with perturb tion in her pose, a smile half-perplexe trembling on her lips (because ( O'Rourke's conceit) and the shadow ( aixiety clouding her eyes, she made charming picture indeed. She was quick to grant his reques "Danny will explain," she agreed wii conviction. "This way, then, if yC please, monsieur, and"-as they -passe through a low doorway-"if you wi have the patience to wait here, I wi fetch 'wine." $he smiled enichantingly, droppE him a bewitching little courtesy wil a deference evoked, no doubt, by tU man's subtle yet ineradicable air distinction, and left him wholly cap1 vated. "Bless her heart and pret face!" he murmured, eyeing her r treating figure. "'Tis Danny whc the lucky dog .. . not that he not deserving. . .. He reviewed his refuge summaril discovering that he stood in one cc nier of a small courtyard, the cent' of a hollow cube of masonry; a dwe Ing of two Atories, round whose upp floor ran an inner gallery to whic steps led up from the court and fro which access was to be had to the 11 Ing rooms-all dark and silent. In the center of the courtyard little fountain tinkled, a tiny jet water rising from the central uprig: of stone to spray the black, star-sm: ten pool beneath. There was a litt plot. of grass, likewise, with flowe generous of their cordial perfume. The girl came silently out from ti shadows beneath the gallery, bringli him a cup and a jar of earthenwa: brimming with wine. He accepted the service with a bo "Mademoiselle is as kind as she beautiful!" said he, and with the a preciation of a connoisseur fir watched her blush, then drained ti jug to its la.st drop and felt the grat ful fluid grapple with his fatigue, tei Iper it, and send new strength leapi: through his veins. "And as good, I' sure, as she is kind," he added; ar "Ah!" he sighed, resuming his se but rising again, and quickly, as second summons clanged upon il iron door and sent the girl flying t wards the rear of the house. "That will be Danny now O'Rourke opined as she swept pa him. She murmured a response he d not clearly catch. "What's that?" I called after her. "Or, possibly." she repeated, pausir at the entrance to the rear chambe "it may be Monsieur the Capta: Hole!" "The divvle!" cried O'Rourke, ar was on his feet in a twinkling, cas ing about him for a weapon. "Thi can't be-" Nothing offered itself suitable eith; for offense or defense, save and excej the jug he had been drinking fron and the Irishman was weighing thi thoughtfully with a definite intentio of hurling it at Captain Hole's heat if indeed he had heard aright, whe the entrance of quite another perso relieved his mind, however tempt rarily. IIt was Danny, plainly enough; Dai ny, the same as of old, with his hal sheepish, half-impudent grin and 1i shock of i;aming hair, his upper li that was long even for an Irish boy' his roving and twinkling blue eye! his tip-tilted nose, his short, sturd physique. "Faith," said O'Rourke, "the god are not so unkind after all! 'Tis a welcome as the shadow of a great roc in a weary land, the sight of y Danny!" And "Danny!" he observe with some severity, "I'll ask ye to ey maste: a si-n l ser ice 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 eyei V O'Rourke under his brows, shameface 'nd ill at ease. "'Aw!" he 'nrecated, "sure, now, yer honor, n,-" "Danny," demanded O'Rourke stern ly, "does Miss Cleopatra here under stand English?" "Divvle a word!" the ex-valet pro tested earnestly. "Beyond Greek and French and Arabic. sure, she's ignor ant as Paddy's pig!" So much was plainly evident from the irl's m"nner and expression of puzzlement. Reassured, O'Rourke pro ceeded: "'Tis good hearing. Faith, if she t understood the King's English, 'tis me hair she would be tearing out by the roots in one minute. Danny, I gather that the lady is be way of lik ing ye more than ye deserve. Is it in love with you she is?" Danny stole a sidelong glance at the girl. "Beggin' yer honor's pardon," he e stammered, "and I belave she is that." "Umm!" snorted O'Rourke. "And d 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?" L "Divvle 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?" t "The - daughter av me partner, yer h honor, Noccovie, the Greek tobaccy merchant." e "This will be his house, then?" "No, sir, but a-a sort av a sthore house, in a way av speaking. 'Tis Jist 'round th' corner they do be livin' In a gran' foine house, sir." F "Then what's the young lady doing here?" "Waiting for me to take her place, sir. Noccovie is away and-and," in , a blurted confession, "'tis a bit of b hashish smuggling we be doing on the e side. The stuff is always brought . here, sor; and tonight's the night a consignment's due." d "Ah-h!" observed O'Rourke darkly. One by one, it seemed, he was gather ing the trumps again into his own a hand. He resumed his catechism of the boy. t "Danny, is this the way a decent b man should be behaving himself?" he browbeat him. "Is it your mother's son and the sweetheart of Annie 11 Bragin that's become no more than an 1] idle breaker of hearts? Danny, Dan ny, what would Father Malachi be di saying if he could hear what ye've b Just told me? Whin, boy, did ye con !ess last?" )Danny cowered. "Aw, dear!" he whimpered. "Aw, dearie-dear! And meself meant no harm at all!" I"Thin take your light-o'-love home, SDanny, and come back to me here at qonce with a change of clothes!" "Yiss, yer honor. I'll do that, yer honor. But will ye hark for the signal Sat the door and let Cap'n Hole in?" ~It was true, then! I"I \will. But see that ye don't for get the change of clot.hes, Danny, and b don't be lingering too long over your f ond farewells with the lady, if yere not looking for a hiding, and Danny!" "Yis, sor?" "Have ye a revolver?" "Here, sor." i"Give it here, and bring another back with ye. Lively, now!" Alone, O'Rourke seated himself on the edge of the fountain and consid ered gravely the uncertaintiest of life. "'Tis fate," he concluded soberly, at jlength. "And 'tis hard upon eleven now. They will not dare to run that cargo before midnight; and-meseif 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. 2And while O'Rourke dressed, and for long thereafter, the two sat and smoked and confabulated, talked of C Men and Things and the turn of the 1lWheel of the World. CHAPTER XVI. At midnight the muezzin in a neigh boring minaret turned his face to the windswept sky and summoned the faithful to prayer and meditation. I O'Rourke pulled thoughtfully at his Ejpipe until the musical, melancholy wail had been whipped away by the breath of the khamsin, and there was silence save for the dull, heavy roar ig overhead. Then he resumed the conversation where it had been inter rupted. "And ye say ye love the young womn an, Danny?" "I do that, yer honor." "And ye would marry her?" "Wid yer honor's consit-I'm ready, sor." "I bless the banns. Ye may have her on one condition." "Aw-w?" r"I've need of ye, as I've pointed out-" "Sure, yer honor knows ye ca count on me to the last breath in me, sor." "Then ye'll come with me to Bur mah?" Do you think, sor, I could slape of nights, after hearin' from your own lps what ye've ber-n through and sus pectin' what more ye r.aust go +hrough with before ye've won? Will I be coin', is ut? Faith, I'll go whether v want me or not." "And afterwards ye can come back to Miss Psyche here, or whatever her name may be." "Yss yer honor, and thank ye kinds jy. . . Abruptly Danny started alley." He turned toward the rear of the house, and as O'Rourke rose to folloR him, the signal sounded on the meta' door. Danny quickened his steps, ani as he disappeared his master slipped quietly into the shadows beneath the overhanging gallery. From this poin: of seclusion he could hear distinctl the jar of the bolts as Danny openei the iron door, followed by his hoarse whisper: "Whist! is ut yersilves Hole's voice answered him huskily: "Who the hell else would it be? Le us in, you damn' harp." Tue door creaked upon its hinges. and was cautiously closed. The bolt rattled again. Footsteps shuffled slowly, as of men heavily burdened. over the floor of earth. Then, while O'Rourke gathered himself together, exultation in his heart, and the fore taste of revenge sweet in his mouth, two cloaked figures scuffled into the courtyard, breathing hard beneath their burdens of smuggled drug. Hole promptly dufnped his share of the load down upon the bench and swung upon Danny. "Where's Nic covie?" he demanded, evidently in as ugly a mood as he could muster. "Where is 'e? Stop standin' there and starin' with yer balmy trap open, yer-"' "That will be about enough," sug gested O'Rourke pleasantly, in a con versational tone, stepping from his place of concealment. "Don't call names, Hole--ye're too near your God -if ye have one, which I misdoubt." In the clear, bright starlight the pis tols in his hands were plainly evident; and one stared the captain in the eye; one covered the head of the Pelican's first officer. "Ye will not move!" said O'Rourke, sharply, "save and except to put your hands above your heads. So-don't delay, Mr. Dennison; I've never known me temper to be shorter." Hole began to splutter excitedly. "Save your breath, ye whelp!" O'Roprke counseled him curtly. "Ye'll have need of it before I'm done with ye." He added: "Search and dis Irm them, Danny." The servant set about his task with alacrity; it is safe to say that he left not so much as a match in the pocket of either. While he was about it, Hole, with his eyes steadily fixed upon the unwavering muzzles of O'Rourke's revolvers, managed to master his emo tion enough to ask coherently: "What are you going to do with us?" "Ye'll see in good time," returned O'Rourke grimly. "Have ye found it, Danny?" Danny backed away from Hole, whom he had searched after Denni son. "Yiss, sor," he returned. "At least, I think so. Is this ut?" "I can't look at this moment, Danny. [s it a leather bag with something hiard inside, the size of a hen's egg, or a bit larger?" "The very same, yer honor." "Very well," O'Rourke suppressed the tremble of relief in his voice. "Put it in your~ pocket, Danny-the very bottom of your pocket Did ye ftnd a gun on either of them?" "One on each, sor." "Loaded?" "Yiss, sor." "Then cover them, Danny." For himself O'Rourke put down his pistols and calmly stripped off his coat, rolling up his sleeves. "Hole," he said, tersely, "don't move. If ye do, Danny will puncture ye. Your turn comes last Denni son, ye may step out." "What for?" demanded the Scot, ad vancing. j"To receive payment, with interest, for that blow ye gave me this even ing, me man. Put up your hands. ['m going, in your own words, Mr. Den nison, - to hammer the fear of God nto as cowardly and despicable a pair of scoundrels as I've ever encoun tered. And," reflectively, "I've met a good many. But most of the others were Men." CHAPTER XVII.. Two battered and sore sailormen at back $o back, their arms lashed to one another and to the central 'up right so that neither -could move, both half-submerged in the fountain of Nie covie the Greek. "Ye'll find the bath quite refresh ing," O'Rourke told them, prepairing to depart, "as well a.s :a novel experi ence.

He was still chuckling over the out come when, twenty minutes later, hE and Danny were trudging through the silent streets of Alexandria, a full milE away from Danny's lodgings. 'Danny," O'Rourke pursued, witt just a hint of anxiety in his tone, "would ye happen to be having a bil' of lining In your pocket, now-be acci dent, as they say?" Danny drew himself up proudly. "I've eight hoondred and fifty pounds, Ay-gyptian, sor, and two-hundred av that is yours be rights, bein' what ye lent me, yer honor, while all the rist is yours for the taking." "That's fine, Danny, fine!" sighed O'Rourke. "'Tis yourself will never re gret investing it in Pool of Flame, Un-. limited. I'll personally guarantee the income from It, Danny." "Shure, sor, don't I know?" "And in the morning, early, Danny, 1 ye and I will take boat and go out to che Pelican for me kit-box."
