who had agreed to undertake the mission,
awaits the v viscount. O'Rourke finds a
mysterious letter In hts apartment. The
viscount arrive, hands a sealed package
to O'Rourke, who Is not to open It until
on the ocean. He says the French g-ov-eminent
will pay O'Rourke 26.000 francs
for his services. A pair of dainty sllp-
Sers are seen protruding from under a
oorway curtain and the viscount charges
O'Rourke with having a spy secreted
there.
CHAPTER III.
At he stepped out of the lift Colonel
O'Rourke remarked a light in bis
room,: visible through the - transom
ovei the door.' !
"The . femme de chambre," he
thought "Sure and the poor thing's
till busy trying to clear up. , : , - ,"
Td Jthe contrary, he found the door
fast. " 'Tie careless; she was to leave
the light on," he observed, fitting his
key In the lock.
... If thoughtless In that one way, the
woman had fulfilled the letter of her
word In. the cither.) It was with com
prehensive relief (since he anticipated
a caller) that he found the room once
again presentable. ; :-
I- But one thing surprised him: and
(mora surprising still was the fact that
Ibis ordinarily, indifferent ' eye should
have detected' It at the first glance.
He had indeed hardly entered before
he became aware of a square of white
paper tucked in the corner of the bu
reau mirror. S
"The dlvvle, now!" he greeted it.
i"Thatrs curious. . Could one oi
,ine many admirers have bribed the
femme de chambre to bring a note tc
me?" ' He chuckled, holding to the
light a much soiled envelope, grimy
'with the marks of many fingers, olas
tered with stamps and black with
postage marks and substitute ad
dresses, having evidently . been for
warded over half the world before It
reached v the addressee r . - whe was.
In a bold hand, "Colonel Terence
O'Rourke." - , :
He whistled low over this, examin
ing it' Intently, infinitely lesa concern
ed with its contents than with the
manner by which it had reached him.
The first postmark seemed to' be that
of Rangoon, the original address, the
Cercle Mllltalre, his club in Paris.
Thence, apparently, It had sought him
In Oalway, Ireland, Dublin, Paris again,
and finally after half a dozen other
addresses "C. pi Mme! O'Rourke, Ho
tel Carlton, London." The London
postmark was' indecipherable. ... . .
He found himself trembling violent
ly. By one hand alone could this
have reached him, since the post had
not brought it to Monte Carlo. . . .
He recalled that woman's voice which
bad so stirred him,' the woman of the
Casino ''whose bearing had seemed to
bim so familiar. ; , V;r T
Some one tapped on the door; he
mothered a curse of annoyance, and
went to answer, thrusting the letter
Into bis pocket. '
. A page announced Monsieur le
Comte des Trebes.
"Show the gentleman up" snapped
O'Rourke. He was about to add, "in
The Frenchman Rose, Offering
the Envelope. :
Him
five minutes," when Des Trebes him
self appeared.
"Anticipating that . message, mon
sieur," he said, moving Into view
from one side of the door, "I took the
liberty of accompanying this boy. I
am late, I fear." . '
O'Rourke forced a nod and smile of
welcome. : "Not to my knowledge." said
he. ' v
The Frenchman consulted bis watch.
"Ten. niluutes late, monsieur; it is ten
past midnight." '
"Then," said O'Rourke, "the top o'
the morning to ye. Enter, monsieur,"
He stood aside, closing the door be
bim his guest. "'Tie no matter; It
I thought ye punctual, 'tli so ye are
to all Intents and purposes. : ', . .
A chair, monsieur." He established
Des Trebes by a window. "And a cig
arette T ... A drop to drink T
, . . As ye will. . . . And since
t!s to talk secret business that we're
bore would ye like the door locked?"
"Tl .t U 1 -"y " "" Pes Tre-

swift, searching glanceT - "We are at
least secure from interruption; : one
could ask little morei it v
"True for ye," laughed O'Rourke. He
moved toward the alcove. "Now first'
of all Tm to submit proofs qf me Iden
tity, I believe,", he added, intending to
dig out of his trunk, a dispatch-box
containing his passports and other pa
pers of a private nature."- '' '
But Des Trebes had changed ! his
mind. ' "That la unnecessary, mon
sieur. Tour very willingness is suffi
cient proof. I have your word and
am content." : - '
."That's the way of doing business
that I like,'' assented O'Rourke heart
ilywarming a little to the man as he
turned back a chair facing the vi
oomte. : "Besides, I quarrel with ha
man's right to be reasonable. . .
And now I'm at your service, mon
sieur."' Ljl-:. .
Des Trebes, lounging back, knees
crossed, thin white fingers interlac
ing, black eyes , narrowing, regarded
the Irishman .thoughtfully for a mo
ment : Abruptly he sat up and. re
moved from an Inner pocket a long
thin white envelope, thrice sealed with
red wax and Innocent of any super
scription whatever.' -
"Are you prepared, monsieur," he
demanded incisively, "to play- blind
man's buff?" ;
"Am I what?" asked O'Rourke, star
tled. Then he smiled. "Pardon; per
haps-1 fail to follow ye." i ,
"I mean," explained the vlcomte pa
tiently, "that I have to offer you a
commission to act under sealed or
ders" be tapped the envelope "the
orders contained herein." ; !
"And when would I be free to open
that?" . ; - , : , . '
"As soon as you are at sea away
from Franca, MonsJeur.fv;.u .'i
" OTtourke considered the " ehvelopfl
doubtfully. "From you, monsieur from
the Government of France, which you
represent," he said at length,, "yes;
I will , accept such a . commission.
France," he averred simply, "knows
me; it wouldn't be asking me to do
anything a gentleman shouldn't" '
"You may feel assured of that,"
agreed Des Trebes gravely. "Indeed, I
venture to assert you will find this
let us say adventure much to your
liking. . . . Then you accept?" '
"One moment a dosen questions,
by" your leave. . . . When must 1
tartr V . . . ...
"Tomorrow morning -by the Cote
i'Azur Raplde, at ten minutes to
sight" '
"And where will I be going?"
"First to Paris; thence to Havre;
thence, by the first available steamer,
to New York; finally, it may be to
Venezuela, monsieur." - ,
"Expenses?" i
,"1 will myself furnish you with funds
lufOdent to finance you as far as
New York. There our consul-general
will provide you with what more you
may require. It is essential that your
sonnectlon with this affair shall be
kept secret; should you draw on the
tovernment In this country, it would
expose yea to grave suspicions, per
haps to danger."'
"I understand that," assented the
Irishman. "But to obviate all danger
of mistake, would it not be well to
have one of your trusted agents meet
me on the steamer and provide me
with whatever ye figure I might re
quire? Tls barely possible your con-lul-general
might not recognize me In
New York. Why should he? I never
beard his name, even," ,
Des Trebes meditated this briefly.
"It shall be as you desire, monsieur. It
shall be arranged as you suggest."
"Finally, then, what is to be my
recompense V I . . .
"Tbst must depend. I am authorized
to assure you that in no ease will
rou receive less than twenty-five thou
sand francs; in event of a successful
termination of your mission, the re
ward will be doubled."
"'Tls enough." said O'Rourke with a
ilgh; '1 accept."
The Frenchman rose, offering him
the envelope. "You must pledge your
lelf, monsieur, not to break these seals
until you are at sea?" '
"Absolutely of course." 'O'Rourke
took tbe packet, weighed it curiously
In his band and scrutinised the seals.
He remarked that they were yet soft
tpd fresh; the wax bad been hot with
in the half hour.
"I will do myself the honor of meet
ing you at tbe train to see you off, mon
ile.ur," said Des Trebes. "At that time,
also, will I provide you with the funds
you require."
"Thank ye."
Their bands met '
"Good night, Monsieur O'Rourke." ,
"Good night. ... . .
Half way to the door, Des Trebes
paused. "Oh, by the way," he ex
claimed carelessly, "I bUeve you art
a friend of my old school fellow, Cham
bret mon cher Adolph?"
" Tls so," assented the Irishman
warmly, "The best of men Chsm-

Washington; D. C.. Dee. '20tnThe
report of th? U. S. Board. of Eogloeeca
on the inland waterway from . Norfolk
to Beaufort is full of interest and im
portance to the people of ;North Caro
lina and is a great tribute to the ener
gy and effectiveness of Senator. Sim
mons and Congressman Small. ; ;
' The board recommends the purchase
by the government of the Chesapeake
and Albemarle Canal connecting ; the
North Carolina sounds with the Chesa
peake Bay by the Secretary of War un
der the authority of the provision it) sa
ted in the last River and Harbor bill by
Senator Simmons, directing him to eon
tract for tbe purchase of tbe canal se
lected by this board.
The board also recommends that this
canal be at once reconstructed so as to
give a depth of 12 feet and battom
width of 90 feet, total cost $2,733,000,
and that the depth of the canal recently
cut from the North Carolina sound to
Beaufort be increased from 10 to 12
feet,-cost $397,500. y' ; ;;
' It also recommends that'- the ' Albe
marle and Pamlico bounds be connec
ted by a canal through Hyde county
(dry cut about 26 miles) by the Alliga
tor river and Rose Bay route at a cost
of $2,216,000. i ;- :-.':-
-This will give a dep h of 12 feet at
low water wh'ch would mean between
13 and 14 feet dep'h at high water from
Norfolk to Beaufort, total cost $5,401,
680, which added to tbe 550,000) cost
of tbe canal at Beaufort heretofore cut
will make a total of $6,000,000.
Senator Simmons taid today he was
confident that the present session of
Congress would appropriate the 'money
not only to pay for the old Albemarle &
Chesapeake Canal, but for all the work
recommended by tbe board, and he add
ed "when this-work Is finished' it win
release from its land-locked condition
about 3,000 miles of navigable North
Carolina inland water and makes It
available for interstate and interna
tional transportation and commerce, in
stead of ae now, only useful for local
and neighborhood transportation and
commerce.
He said the unbottling of these 8,000
miles of navigable water was of tre
mendous importance not only from a
commercial standpoint, but from the
standpoint of railway rate regulation as
it would bring these presently naviga
ble waterways into active and effective
competition with tbe railways but be
cause it Will surely lead to making ev
ery river emptying Into these sounds,
( aid they embrace practically every
nivigable river in the State except the
C ipe Fear) navigable far into the inte
nor of the State, '
