Ile merely held It un- til the girl had gone out; even then he stood folding and unfolding It, and bis eyes did not drop to the sheet. The girl had said nothing at all but, having seen ,her, Constance was 0111111; the girl had not been a bearer of hail news, that was sure; she brought some sort of good news! Con- stance, eerhlln of it, moved nearer to Henry to read what he held. He looked down and read. "What Is it, Henry?" }Its muscular reaction, as he read, had drawn the sheet away from her; he recovered himself almost instantly and gaveth e paper to her, "8:35 a, m., Manitowoc, Wis.," she read. "The schooner Anna S. Solwerk has been sighted malting fel. this port. She Is not close enough for communi- cation, but two lifeboats, additional to her own, c1121 be plainly made out. It Is believed that she must have picked up survivors of No, 25. She carries no wireless, so is unable to report. Tugs are going to her." "Two lifeboats?" Constance cried. "That could mean that they all are saved or nearly all; doesn't it, Hen- ry; doesn't 1t?" He had read some other significance In it, she thought, or, from his greater understanding of conditions in the storm, he had been able to bold 1)o hope from what hod been reported. That was the only way she could ex- plain to herself us he replied to her; that the word meant to him that mon were saved and that therefore it was dismaying to 111,11, could not come to her at once.

"Mollis 1001'?" he said. "I want to know whet you've heard from the Sol- werk. You hoar - me? . The men the Solwerk picked up. You have the names yet?" "The Benton?" , "Oil, I understand! All from the Benton. I see! No; never mind their mimes. How about Number 20? Nothing more heard from theta?" Constance lead caught .lass shoulder while lie was speaking and now clung to it. Itelens0—reletlse of strain was going through 111111! she could feel it, and she heard it in his tones and saw It in Ills eyes. "The steamer Numhel' 25 rammed proved to have been the Benton," 11e told iter. "The men are ail from her. They had abandoned her In the small boats, and the Solwerk pl'ked them up before the ferry found her:' Ile was not asking her to congR.tu- late 11101 upon the relief he felt: be had n 1t so far forgotten himself as that. But 1t was plain to her that Ile .vas congratulating himself; It hnd been fear that he was feeling before— tear, she was beginning to 1nderstend, that those on the ferry hail /well saved.

It had shaken 11 hu so that, though he re- mained with her some minutes more, he seemed to have forgotten the per' pose of reeondllation with her which had brought him to the house. She dined, or made pretence of din- ing, with her mother at seven. Her mother's voles went on and on nhlnit trifles, and Constance did not try to pay attention. Her thought was fol- lowing Henry with ever -sharpening np- prehhnslon. She called the office In mId-eyening; It would be open, she knew, for messages regarding Uncle Benny and Alan would he expected there, A clerk answered; no other news 110(1 boon received; she then asked Henry's w11e1'eahnuts.

Her father bad thought this; at least, he gad thought that Uncle Benny must have left some ex- planation in his house. He tied told Alan that, and had given Alan the key to the house So that he could find it. Alan had gone to the house— In the house Alan had found some- one who had mistaken Jilin for a ghost, a man who had cried out at sight of him something about a ship— about the Miwaka, the ship of whose loss no one bad known anything ex- cept by the soundings of the Drum, What had the man been doing in the house? Had he too been looking for the explanatinn—l-he explanation that Henry feared? Alun had described the man to her; that description had not had meaning for her before; but now remembering that description she could think of Henry as the only one who could have been In that house! Henry had fought with Alan there! Afterwards, when Alan had been at- tacked upon the street, had Henry anything to do with that? Henry had lied to her about being In Duluth the night he hnd fought with Alan; he hnd not told her the true cense of his quarrels with Uncle Benny; he had wished her to believe that Uncle Benny was dead when the wedding ring and watch came to her— the watch which had been Captain Stanford's of the lliwaka! Henry had urged her to marry him at once. Was that because he wished the security that her father—and she—must give her husband when they learned the revelation which Alan or 'Uncle Ben- ny might bring? At Petoskey she went from the train directly to the telegraph office. If Henry was In Petoskey, they would know at that office where he could be found; he would be keeping In tench with them. Mr. Spearman, the operator said. had been at the office early in the day; there had been no message for him; he had left instructions that any which castle were to be forwarded to him through the men who, under his direction, were patroVing the More for twenty miles north of Little Trav- erse, watching for boats.
