SYNOPSIS.
CHAPTER I.-The story opens at
Monte Carlo with Col. Terence O'Rourke
in his hotel. O'Rourke, a military free
lance and something of a gambler, is
dressing for appearance in the restaurant
below when the sound of a girlish voice
singing attracts his 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
sight.
CHAPTER II.-O'Rourke's mind is
filled with thoughts of the girl, and when
he goes to the gaming table he allows his
remarkable winnings to accumulate in
differently. He notices two men watch
ing 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 III.-At -his room O'Rourke,
who had agreed to undertake the mission,
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
en the ocean. He says the French gov
ernment will pay O'Rourke 25,000 francs
for his services. A pair of dainty slip
pers are seen protruding from under a
doorway curtain and the viscount charges
O'Rourke with having a spy secreted
there.
CHAPTER TV.-When the Irishman
goes to his room he finds there the own
er of the mysterious feet. It is his wife,
Beatrix, from whom he had run away a
year previous. They are reconciled, and
opening the letter be 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 in the keeping
of a friend named Chambret in Algeria.
CHAPTER V.-O'Rourke is forced to
fight a duel with the viscount. The brag
gart nobleman is worsted in the combat
and acts the poltroon.

O'Rourke farewell and he promises to
soon return with the reward offered for
the Pool of Flame. He discovers both
0lynn and the viscount on board the
sbl which takes him, to Algeria,.
CHAPTER VII.--Chambret has l"ft Al
geria and O'Rourke has to gain r.. mili

CHAPTER XIV.
In the face of the fact that the im
portation of hashish into Egypt has
ieen declared illegal by Khedival leg
Aslation, the drug is always to be ob
tined in the lower dives of Alexan
Iria, Cairo and Port Said-If one only
tnows where to go and how to ask
for it Manufactured In certain
tslands of the Grecian Archipelago, it
is mysteriously exported under the
rery noses of complaisanit authorities
and, eluding the rigor of Egyptian
:3ustoms, as well as the vigilance of
egyptian spies, finds Its way to the
tellaheen-among other avid consum
ers; speaking baldly, is smuggled into
the land. Customs Inspections, fur
thermore, are as severe as might be
expected by anyone acquainted with
the country and Its inhabitants-as
was O'Rourke.
He felt, then, no sort of surprise at
the brevity of the official visitation.
The inspector, accompanied by an
excessively urbane and suave Captain
LHole, consciously but briofly
glanced into the hold, asked a few
suestions which would have .been
pertinent had they not been entirely
%pserfunctory, and took his leave.
From the gangway the captain
turned back directly to his first offi
eer and the -latter's charge. Hearing
bis approaching - footsteps, O'Rourke
gathered himself together and sum
mloned all his faculties to his aid.
"Troublesome?" demanded Hole,
,pausing.
"Not a syllable,"' said the mate.
"Th' mon's sensible. I ha'e me doubts
but he's too canny altegither."
"Peaceful as a byby, eh? Well,"
savagely, "'eli learn wot for. Get up,
you Irish-"
-.O'Ronrke lay passive under the
storm of Hole's profanity. He had
all but closed his eyes, and was watch
-iug the pair from beneath his lashes.
Failing to elicit any response,
'Asn't 'e moved?" demanded the cap
tain.
"Not a muscle--"
"Shammin'! 'Ere, I'll show 'im."
'O'Rourke gritted his teeth and sup
pressed a groan as the toe of Hole's
heavy boot crashed into his ribs.
"Th' mon's nae shamming," Denni
son declared. "He's fair fainted."
"F 2ainted hell!" countered the cap
_ an Gv f arm a twist, Denni
~of
S~oIl.".
The mate calmly disobeyed. The
arm-twist desired by the captain re
luires the use of the twister's two
hands, and stoutly as he defended his
opinion, the first officer was by no
means ready to put up his revolver.
He advanced and bent over the
Irishma.n, who lay motionless, his up
per lip rolled back to show his
clenched teeth. "Heugh!" exclaimed
the first officer, peering into his face,
his tone expressive of the liveliest
concern. Without further hesitation
he dropped the revolver into his pocket
and-received a tremendous short-arm
! blow in the face.
With a stifled cry he fell back,
clutching at a broken nose, and
sprawled at length; while O'Rourke,
leaping to his feet, deliberately put
a heel into the pit of Dennison's stom
ach, thereby effectually eliminating
him as a factor in the further contro
versy. Simultaneously he advanced
upon Captain Hole.
But in the latter he encountered nc
mean antagonist. The man-it has
been said-was as tall as and heavier
than the adventurer, and by virtue of
his position a competent and experi
enced rough-and-ready fighter. In a
breath he had lowered his head and,
bellowing like a bull, launched him
self toward O'Rourke.
'The Irishman met the onslaught
with a stinging uppercut; which, nev
ertheless, failed to discourage th'e
captain, who grappled and began to
belabor O'Rourke with short, stabbing
blows on the side of the head, at the
same time endeavoring to trip him.
The fury of his onset all but carried
the Irishman off his feet. At the same
time it defeated Hole's own purpose.
O'Rourke watched his chance, seized
the man's throat with both hands and.
tightening his grip, fairly lifted him
off his feet and shook him as a ter
rier shakes a rat. Then, with a grunt
of satisfaction, he threw the captain
from him and turned to face greater
Iodds.
The noise of the conflict had brought
the crew down upon the contestants.
Surrounded, he was rushed to the rail.I
Wihthat to his back he drew on his
reserve of strength and, poising him
Iself, began to give his assailants per
sonal and individual attention. They
pushed him close, snarling and curs
lng, hinde'ring one another in their
eagerness, and suffering variously for
their temerity. O'Rourke fought with
trained precision; his blows, lightning
quick, were direct from the shoulder
and very finely placed; and so straight
did he strike that almost from the*
first his knuckles were torn and
Ibleding from their impact upon flesh
and bone.
Fight as fiercely as he might, how
ever, the pack was too heavy for him;
and when presently he discerned, not
In one 'but in half a dozen hands,
gleams of light-the rays of a negr-by
lantern running down knife-blades
he conceded the moment imminent
when he must sever his connection
with the Pelican. Moreover he had a

his revolver.
Leaping to the rail, he poised an
instant, then dived far out from the
vessel's side, down into the Stygian:
blackness of the harbor water; a good
clean dive, cutting the water with
Ihardly a splash, he went down like an
arrow, gradually swerving from the
straight line of his flight into a long
arc-so long, indeed, that he was
well-nigh breathless when he came to
the surface, a dozen yards or more
from th~e Pelican.
Spitting out the foul harbor water,
and with a swift glance over his shoul
der that showed him the Pelican's
dark freeboard like a wall, and a
cluster of dark shapes hanging over
the rail at the top vaguely revealed
by lantern light, he struck out for the
nearest vessel, employing the double
overhand stroke; noisy but speedy.
That he heard no cry when he came
to the surface, that Hole had not de
tected him by the pliosphorescence,I
and that he had held his hand from
firing, at first puzzled O'Rourke; but
Ihe reasoned that Hole probably feared
to raise an alarm and thereby attract
'much undesirable attention to himself
and his ship. In the course of the first;
few strokes, however, he managed to
peep again over his shoulder, and from!
the activity on the Pelican's decks
concluded that he was to be pursued
Iby boat; which, in fact, proved to be
the case.
Fortunately the Pelican rode at an
chor in waters studded thick with
other vessels, affording plenty of hid
ing places on a night as black as that.
1The adventurer made direct for the
first vessel, swam completely around
it, and by the time the Pelican's boat
was afloat and its rowers bending to
the oars, he was supporting himself by
a hand upon the unknown ship's cable.
floating on his back with only iis face
out of water.
Under these conditions, it was
small wonder that the boat missed him
so completely.
At length rested, the Irishman re
leased his hold and struck out fol

how he had been tricked and played
upon from the very beginning. And he

to apply to the authorities or to at
tempt to lodge a complaint against
Captain Hole would more likely than
not result in incarceration on a charge
of vagrancy more real than technical.
And-the Pool of Flame! HE
fumed with impotent rage when he
saw how blindly he had stumbled intc
Hole's trap, how neatly he had per
mitted himself to be raped of the jew
el. For in thie light of late events he
could not doubt but that Hole had
sought him out armed with the knowl
edge that O'Rourke was in possessionI
of the priceless jewel-more than
probably advised and employed by De.
Trebes; assuming that he had failed
to inflict a mortal wound upon ,that
adventurer.

resentment, while the clamor of the
pursuing rabble shrilled loud and
near and ever nearer.
Exhausted as he was, the Irishman
struggled with little skill before he
mastered his own surprise; and in the
end saw his finis written along the
blade of a thin, keen knife which the
Greek nad whipped from the folds. of
his garments and jerked threateningly
above his head.
It was falliig when O'Rourke saR
it. In another breath he had been
stabbed. Unexpectedly the Greet
shrieked, dropped the knife as thougb
it had turned suddenly white-hot it
his hands, and leaped back from
O'Rourke, nursing a broken wrist;
while a voice as sweet as the singing
of angels rang in the fugitive's ears,
though the spirit of its melody was
simple and crude enough.
"O'Rourke, be all th' powers! The
masther himself! Glory, ye beggar,
'tis sorry I am that I didn't split the
ugly face of ye wid me sthick!
. . . This way, yer honor! Come
wid me!"
Blindly enough (indeed the world
was all awhirl about him) O'Rou:ke,
his arm grasped by a strong ar d co. i
dent hand, permitted himself to be
swung to the right and across the
street. In a thought blackness again
was all, about him, but the hand
gripped his arm, hurrying him onward;
and he yielded blindly to its guidance
-without power, for that matter, tc
question or to object; what breath
he had he sorely needed. And as blind
ly he stumbled on for perhaps another
hundred yards, while the voice of the
rabble made hideous the night be
hind them. Hardly, indeed, had the
two whipped into the mouth of the
back-way ere it was choked by a
swarm of pursuers. But-"Niver
fear!" said the voice at his side.
"'Tis ourselves that'll outwit . them.
. . . Here, now, yer honor, do ye
go straight on widout sthoppin' ontil
ye come to an iron dure in a dead wall
at the end av this. Knock there
wance, count tin, and knock again.
I'll lead 'em away and be wid ye again
In a brace av shakes!"
Benumbed by fatigue and exhaus
tion, O'Rourke obeyed. He was aware
that his preserver with a wild whoop
had darted aside into a cross-alley, but
hardly aware of more. Mechanically
he blundered on until brought up by
a wall that closed and made a cul-de
sac of the way. -
With tre ing hands he felt before
him, fingers encouirtering the smooth.
mol surface of a sheet of metal. This,
then, was the door. As carefully is
tie could he knocked, counted ten, and
knocked again-while the mob that
had lusted for his blood trailed off
down the side alley in frantic pursuit
of his generous preserver. And he
heard with a smile,, the latter's shrill
defiant Irish yells luring them further
upon the false scent.
"If 'tis not Danny," gasped the ad
enturer, "then myself's not the
O'Rourke! Bless the lad!"
But as he breathed this benediction
the iron door swung inwards and he
stumbled across the threshold, half
fainting, hardly conscious that he had
done more than pass from open night
to the night of an enclosed space. His
foot caught on some obstruction and
he went to his knees with a cry that
was a cross between a sob and a
groan; and incontinently fell full
length upon an earthen floor, his head
pillowed on his arm, panting as If his
heart would break.
In the darkness above him someone
cried aloud, a startled cry, and then
the door was thrust to with a clang
and rattle of bolts. A match rasped

loudly and a flicker of light leaped
from a small hand I'imp and revealed
to its bearer the fagged and quivering
figure on the floor.
Some one sat down beside him with
a low exclamatlon of solicitude and
gathered his head into her lap. Some
one quite simply enfolded his necb
with soft arms and pressed his head
to her- bosAm, and as if that were noi
enough, kissed him full and long upor
his lips.
"My dear! My dear!" she murmurec

Now the integral madness of all thiE
was as effectual in restoring O'Rourke
