CHAPTER XXXIV. (Continued.)
"Ho confessed ho was In tho pay

Couch resumed.
"This coolie was an outsider a

Tho lights of tho city bocarao vis

Cautiously tho Irishman roso, took
tho boathook Couch offered him, and
cropt out upon tho narrow triangle of
dock at tho bows Crouching tucre.
ho found tho headwarp and wnlted,
tense with anxious expectancy, star
ing ahead In futile effort to penetrate
tho wide, shadowy reaches of tho riv
or. Hut tho mysticul distances con
tused and eluded him Tho launch
seemed to movo, panting, In nn nbyss
of night. She mado llttlo noise: a
bias of water beneath lior stem; tho
steady humming of tho I motor, throt
tled down to half speed; tho mufllod
ganplng of tho exhaust. And present
ly oven those ceased at a word from
Couch, and tho launch moved only
with tho tide.
Abruptly a towering wall of opaque
black roso out of tho darknebs to
starboard. O'ltourko braced himself
for tho Imminent Instant of action,
poised so lightly upon his toes nnd
llngertlps that a swell from a movinc
vessel would havo thrown him off
his balance, perhaps overboard. Tho
launch closed swiftly and silently in
upon tho black wall; It towerod over
him like a cliff; far nbovo ho could
see dim divisions botween black nnd
black that must bo tho rail. And he
shook his liend, dismayed; ho could
never scalo that, he thought; not even
tho O'Rourko could accomplish a mir
acle. Hut In a breath It had faded
bnck, and ho realized that tho tower
ing poop of tho Junk had misled him.
They woro now alongside nt tho wnlBt.
Ho stood up nnd' saw a low raillnc
moving and caught it over tho edge of
tho rail, drow tho launch In. lot en tho
boathook and, with tho headwarp
wrapped about his hand, Jumped
blindly.
Something dealt him n vicious, all
but paralysing, blow In tho pit of tho
stomach; ho doubled up, for n mo
ment holploss, across tho Junk's rail,
but rctalnod sufficient presonco of
mind to hold on to tho headwarp.
Thon, rocovcrlng a trlllo, ho squirmed
over nnd foil sprawling upon tho deck,

heard a shrill Jabbering arise, with an

oiso followed with a second bump;
nnd tho lnunch swung outward and,

As ho roso somo Indistinct body ran
Into him nnd cannoned off with un uu-
couth yelp; with no tlmo to drnw his
rovolvors, tlio ndventuror struck out
with a baro hand and Jiad tho satis
faction of llndiug n goal for his blow
of landing hoavily on baro flosh and
of hearing tho dull sound of a fall
upon tho dock.
Synchronously lights were Hashing
out for and aft. A rovolvor Bpat ven
omously besldo him. Somowhoro a
man scroamed nnd foil, 'whimpering
horribly. Tho rovolvor expoded a sec-,
ond tlmo. Thoro wero confused'
noises, as of a rurloii3 struggle, rough
and tumble, and he Buspected that ono
Tho Woman Gasped Faintly and
or another of his companions had
been tackled bodily by ono of tho
Junk's crow. On his own part ho
caught a gllmpso of a shadow moving
ghostllko against ono of tho lights,
and promptly exorcised It with a shot.
Hy this tlmo tho vessel seemed to
bo caught In tho grip of pandemon
ium; shouta nnd shots vied with
screams, groans, confused padding
footsteps, to make tho moment ona of
a nightmare. Tho boarding pnrty stood
nt bay, not daring to vonturo from tho
spot on which thoy hnd landed, ilrlng
steadily but with discretion.
Huddled together llko children In
fear of tho powers of darkness, tho
throo hold their flro against tho lnov
itablo assault in force, handicapped
fearfully by tholr absoluto ignornnco
of tho lay of tho deck, of the number
of tholr opponents, and of from which
quarter thoy had to expect tho attack.
And tho sllcnco and tho suspense
woro upon tholr nerves until tho llnal
struggle enmo in tho shapo of a boom
to save them irom madness. And it
camo with a rush and a will, cyclonic,
tromondouB, overpowering. By sheer
weight of human flesh tho Europeans
woro pinned against tho rail, fighting
at handgrips with a cruol and cunning
foo far hotter proparcd for such busi
ness than thoy. For at Buch close
qunrtors pistols woro practically
worthless save ns clubs, whllo knives
could slip to slay through almost any
interstice, howover strnltcned.
O'Rourko hnd no tlmo to think of his
compnnlons. Stung to desperation by
tho Bllent, unrolontlng fury of his as
sailants twice ho wns conscious of
tho whito-hot ngony of a kntfo-thrust,
one penotrnting tho flesh of Ills side
and scraping his ribs, the other biting
dcop Into his thigh ho fired until ho
had but ono .cartridge left In his ro
volvor, and expended that blowing out
tho brnlns of nn extraordinarily per
sistant coolie, than dropped tho uso
loss woapon nnd trusted to Ills naked
strength.
It served him woll for n llttlo. Ono
man, precipitated by Vco weight of
thoso behind him into tho ndvontur
er's arms, ho solzod by tho throat and
throttled in a twinkling; thon lifting
him from tho dock, ho exerted his
power to tho utmost, anil cast tho
body llko a log Into tho midst of tho
moloo. Thus clearing n llttlo spaco, ho
found hlmsolf able to step nsldo and
let another run past him into tho,bjil
wark; and seolng tho sheen of a
swordblado In tho follow's hand, be
fore ho could recover solzod his wrist,
twisted it savagely, and wrenched tho
woapon away.

searchlight on tho Junk. Tho scene
It revealed beggared tho experience of
a man whoso trado was fighting; It
fell upon decks slippery with blood
and littered with tho bodies of dead
and wounded; it silenced a confusion
indescribable. Upon thatinsaneturmoll
tho light fell with tho effect of a thun
derbolt from a clear sky.
Screaming shrilly In their panic, tho
Chinese scattered and fell away, leav
ing O'Rourko beside Couch, Wheeler
being down and buriod beneath threo
Chinese corpses. And instantaneously
something grated harshly against tho
starboard sldo of tho Junk, nnd a man,
hla figure stark black against tho cold
whito glare, leaped upon tho rail and
tumbled Inboard. Others to tho num
ber of a dozen followed him, swarm
ing over the decks. Couch reoled to
wards thorn, babbling ordors and In
structions. '
Tho second launch had arrived.
Sick and faint, O'Rourko slouched
bnck against tho rnll, watching with
lack-luster eyos the end of tho chap
ter. It was simple to tho point of
seeming farcical in comparison with
that which procedod It. Tho dazed and
now outnumbered Chlneao offered no
further resistance. Disarmed and put
under guard, thoy disappeared from
his consciousness, while ho watched
tho men from tho second launch,
spurred by Couch, scatter In search of
tho abducted women.
Losb of blood was beginning to toll
upon him; his-strength seomed alto
gether gone; his wits buzzed in his
hend llko a swarm of gnats. Ho
graBped his support convulsively, be
ginning to appreciate how seriously
ho was hurt. Ho heard aa from u groat
distanco thin, faint cries of men shout
ing In triumph; saw Couch, a pygmy
shape, holding in hla arms a doll who

Ho essayed to Bpoak, but could not.
Ho folt her arwa close about him. In
tho faco of the usrchllght's penotrat
Ing and undovlating glnro, night
closed down upon him.
CHAPTER XXXV.
In after days, wlion ho was alto
gether woll and wholo, they Journeyed
forth, thoso two, tho man and hl3
wlfo, from Rangoon northwnrd. Tho
railway carried them somo distance;
later thoy struck off with their train
Into tho primitive wilderness beyond
tho ultliiiuto Urltlsh outposts on tho
Chlndwiuo, main tributary to tho Ir
rawaddy. Tho land was peaceful, hospltablo.
and very, vo?y lovory In Us wilder
ness. Tholr napplnoss was ecstasy.
Hy day they rodo through Junglo
wood and rolling uplands, or loss cnsl
ly through tho fastnesses of tho hills,
sldo by side, thought linked to
thought, their hearts attuned. Hy
night their enmps woro pitched In a
new-found world of beauty, wonderful
In Its shadowy mystery.
It was so ordered thnt thoy came,
toward sundown of a certain day, to
the foot of a hill crownod with a groat
pagoda of mnny multiplied roofs fring
ed with a myriad sliver bells that
tinkled ceaselessly In tho evening
nirn.
Hero thoy demounted and together
mado the ascent of nn age-old wooden
stnlrway, broad nnd easy, nnd throng
ed from tho first rise to tho last with
weary pilgrims, beggars, lepers, laugh
ing chlldron, mendicant holy men. Tho
sun was low upon tho horizon when,
having bribed their way along that
gauntlet, O'Rourko nnd his bride (she
could never bo alight less to him) at
tained to tho topmost platform and,
having received permission, with meet
show of rovcronco entered tho templo.
It was very dark inside and for a
time they moved blindly in and out;
but at length thoy camo to a massivo
doorway looking toward tho West, and
hero thoy paused, hand In hand, look
ing up to tho placid face of a huge
Buddha, who squatting cross-legged
upon a pedestal, looked through tho
lncense-scontod gloom ceaselessly for
ward to Nirvana.
Tho figure, carvon orlclnallv from
Btonc, hnd boon so heavily plastered
with gold-leaves by tho devout, that
now It hnd all tho semblance of being
gold to its core; nnd, lavishly deco
rated" with necklaces and bracelets of
rare Jewels set In crusted gold. In tho
evening glow It shono llko some great
lamp of holiness. Only its faco was
in sttityow.
Slowly tho light struck higher "be
neath the eaves of the pagoda, and
slowly it crept up and yet up, until its
last blood-red shaft revealed tho Bud
dha's forehead and what waa sot
therein, a monatroua ruby.
Tho womnn gnsped faintly and
clung tightly to her husband's arm.
Ho held her close, watching tho great
stono flame and throb and pulse, like
a pool of living flamo swimming In
darkness.
And then tho light of tlio world
went out. i
Pensively In tho dusk they descend
ed the templo stalrcaso. At tho foot,
before they remounted their horses,
tho woman camo to tho man and put
her hands upon his shoulders.
"Terence." she said, "I think I am
very weary. Tako me homo."
He sathered her Into his arms.
"I think," sho said, "it frightened
me mado rao fearful of ttyis country
tho Pool of Flame, up there."
"Ye'vo seen tho last of it," ho said
tenderly, "and so havo I. Tls done
with, like the days of me adventur
Ings. I havo no thought but you. dear
heart. Let us go home."

Doctor Recommends Postum from Per

No ono Is better ablo to realize tho
Injurious action of caffeine tho drug
in coffee on tho heart, than the doc
tor. Tea is Just as harmful as coffeo
becauso It, too, contains tho drug caf
feine. When tho doctor himself has been
relieved by simply leaving off coffeo
and using Postum, ho can refer with
full conviction to his own caso.
A Mo. physician prescribes Postum
for many of his patients because ho
was benefited by it. Ho says:
"I wish to add my testimony in ro
gard to that excellent preparation
Postum. I havo had functional or
nervous heart troublo for over 15
years, and a part of tho time was un
able to attend to my business.
"I was a moderato user of coffeo and
did not think drinking it hurt rao. But
on Stopping It and using Postum In
ctead, my heart has got all right, and
I ascribe It to tho chango from coffee
to Postum.
"I am prescribing It now In cases of
sickness, especially whon coffeo does
not agree, or affects tho heart, nervea
or stomach.
"Whon mado right it has a much hot
