ing within himself something that he
had heard before—some Irregular
rhythm which had become so much a
part of him that ft sounded now con-
tinually within 111s own brain; so that,
Instinctively, he mored In cadence to
It. He stepped forward again now,
and turned toward the 1100)1*.
Her breath eaught as she spoke to
the woman. "Mr, Spearman Is coming

Her Impulse 22188 to remain where
she was, lest he should think She was
afraid of him; but realization came to
her that there might be advantage In
seeing him before he knew that she
was there, so she reclosed the door and
drew buck Into the cabin.
CHAPTER XIX
The Sounding of the Drum,
Noises of the wind and the roaring
of the lake made inaudible any sound
of his approach to the cabin; she
netted his snowshoes, however, serape
the cabin wall as, after taking them off,
he leaned theta beside the door. He
thrust the door open then and cattle
in; he did not see her at first and, as
he turned to force the door shut again
against the wind she watched hip:
4uletly.
He saw her now and started and,
le though sight of her confused him,
0e looked from the woman and then
back to Constance before he seemed
eertaln of her.
"Hollo!^ he said tentatively. "Hel-
lo 1"
"1'm here, Henry."
"Oh; you are You are!" He stood
drawn up, swaying a little as he
(tared at her; whisky ...its upon his
breath, and It became evident be the
neat of the room; but whisky could
not account for this condition she wit-
aea*ed In him. Neither could it con-
ceal that condition; some tunnel! and
strain within hint made 111m Immune
to Its effects.
She had realized on her way up here
what, vaguely, that strain within him
must be. Guilt—guilt of some awful
sort connected him, and had connected
Uncle Benny, with the 1liwaka—the

"Be found?"

"Seven?" he echoed. "You 1413'

"'Cho Drum has been beating for

said. "The Drum you've been listen -

speak; he was counting. "Two," she
saw his lips form.
The sound of the Drum was continu-
ing, the heats a few seconds apart,
"Twelve," Constance counted to her-
self. The heats had seemed to he
quite measured and regular at first;
but now Constance knew that this wets
only roughly true; they bent rather In
rhythm than at regular Intervals,
"Twenty—twenty-one — twenty-two!"
Constance caught breath and waited
for the next bent; the time of the In-
terval between the measures of the
rhythm passed, and still only the
whistle of the wind and the undertone
of water sounded, The Drum had
beaten its roll and, for the moment,
was done.
Twenty-two had been her count, as
nearly as she could count at all; the
reekoning agreed with what the Indian
women had heard. Two had cried,
then, since the Drum last had beat,
when its roll was twenty. Two more
than before; that meant five were left I
Constance caught up her woolen
hood from the table and put It nn. Her
actino seemed to cull henry to hhn-
seif,
"What are you going to do?" he de -
!needed,
"I'm going 0111."
He moved between her and the door,
"Not alone, you're nut.!" Ills, heavy
voice had a deep. tone of Menace in it;
he seemed to consider and doclde
something about her. "There's a farm-
house about a 10110 hate:: I'm going to
take you over there arnel leave you with
those people."
"I will not go there!"
He swore. "I'11 carry you, then!"

now he sunk above his knees and floun-
dered in the 800W. She stood for a

drunken
all-drunken figure struggled toward her
along the side of the 1-8211118; then she
ran to where the tree trunks hid her
from him. He gained the top of the

She forced herself on, unsparingly,

Beyond and still farther out, sone- ,
thing which seemed the fragments of
a lifeboat tossed up and down where
the waves thundered and gleamed at
he edge of the floe.
Henry's pace quickened; hers quick-
ened desperately, too. She left the
shelter of the trees and sernmhled
down the steep pitch of the bluff,
shouting, crying aloud. Henry turned
about and saw her; he halted, and sire
passed him with a rush and got be-
tween him and the forst upon the Ice,
before she turned and faced hint.
Defeat—defeat of whatever purpose
he had had—was his now that she was
there to witness what he might do; and
in his realization of that, he burst out
in oaths against her— He advanced;
she stood, confronting—he swayed
siightry in his walk and swung past
her and away; he went past those
things on the beach and kept on along
the ice hummocks toward the north.
She ran to the huddled figure of the
man in mackinaw and cap; his face
was hidden partly by the position In
which he lay and partly by the drift-
ing snow; but, before she swept the
snow away and turned him to her, she
knew that he was Alan.

not answer, she shoots him to get him

Lo, the people olE the earth do me homage.
I am the herald of success for men, merchantt,
manufacturers, municipalities and nations.
I go forth to tell the world the message of
servjce and sound merchandise. And the world lis -
ten's when I speak.
There was a day long ago, when by sheer
weight of superior merit, a business could rise above
the common level without me, but that day has
passed into oblivion.
For those who have used me as their servant
I have gathered untold millions into their coffers.
1 Sell More Merchandise
per dollar of salary paid me than any other sales-
man on the face of the earth. The fabled lamp of
Aladdin never called to the service of its master
genii half so rich and powei'fuI as I am, to the man
who keeps me constantly on his payroll.
1 Hold the Business
of the seasons in the hollow of my hand, I com-
mand the legions of fashion, mold the styles and
lead the world whithersoever I go. I drive unprin-
cipled business to cover, and sound the death -knell
of inferior rrlerehandie. Frauds are afraid of me be-
cause I march in the broad tight of day.
Whoever Makes Me
Their Serva)°t
for life takes no chances .0n drawing down dividends
from my untold treasures bestowed with a lavish
hand.
I have awakened and inspired nations, set mil-
lions
allions of men to fight the battles of freedom beyond
the seas and raised billions of dollars to foot the
bills. Nations land kings pay me homage and the
business world bows at my feet.
