the glow of the incandescent lamps

It bore down upon A>an, holding him
motionless mad, on the other side, It
crushed upon Corvet's legs.
He turned over, as far as he could,
and spoke to Alan, "You have been
saving me, so now I tried to save you,"
he stud simply, "'What reason 010 you
have for doing that? Why have you

"I'm Alun Conrad of Blue Rapids,

me; you sent for mel Why did you

Corvet made no reply to this. Alan,
peering at him underneath the truck,
could see that his hands were pressed
against his face and that Itis body
shook. Whether this was from some
new physical pain from the movement'
of the l-reckage, Alun did not know
till he lowered his hands after a mo-
ment; and nowt he did not heed Alan
or seem even to be aware of him,
"Dear little Connie!" he said aloud.
"Dear little Connie! She mustn't

Alan worked nearer him. "Why

with an Wort to become conscious of

from Number 251 'We have Benjamin

"Yo11'l'e received nothing later than
this?" she asked.
"Nothing of g r egrl/'ding Air, Corvet, Allan
Sherrill," the clerk replied,
"The crew?"
"Yes; we have just got the names of
the crew," Ile took another copied
sheet from atuong the pages and hand-
ed it to her, and she looked swiftly
down the list of names' until she found
that oY Alnn Conrad,
Her eyes filled, blinding her, as she
put the paper down, and began to take
off her things. She had been clinging
determinedly in her thought to the
belief that Alan might not have been
aboard the ferry. Alan's message,
which had sent her father north to
meet the ship, had implied plainly
that some one whom Alan believed
might be Uncle Benny was on Number
25; she had been fighting, these last
few hours, against conviction that
therefore Alan must be on the ferry,
too,
She stood by the desk, as the clerk
went out, looking through the papers
which he had left with her, What she
was reading was the carbon of the
report prepared that morning and sent,
at his rooms, to Henry, who was not
yet down.
The last message read: "6:40, Pe-
toskey is calling Manitowoc, 'Signals
from Number 25, after becoming in-
diatinct, failed entirely about 5:45,
probably by failure of ship's power

to 5:48 we received disconnected mes-
sages, as follows: 'Have cleared an-

S. 0, , , . Signals then en-
tirely ceased."
Constance hadnot realized, until the
reports of the wireless messages told
her that he was gone, what compan-
ionship with Alan had come to mean
to her. She bad accepted 1t as al-
ways to be existent, somehow—a com-
panionship which (night be interrupted
often but always to be formed again.
It amazed her to Jfnd how firma place
he had found in her world of those
Close to her with whom she must al-
ways be intimately concerned.
The telephone switchboard beside
Constan'e suddenly buzzed, and the
operator, plugging in 11 connection,
said: "Yes, sir; at once;' and through
the partitions of the private office on
the other side, a loan's heavy tones
cane to Constnnee, That was henrys
