Alan had had dreams which had seemed impossible of ful- fillment, of dedicating ttls life and all that he could make of it to her; now Sherrill's manner had brought to him something like awe, as of something quite incredible.

He wanted to speak , to make some recognition to ber of what she had done, but he did not dare to trust his'voice; and she seemed to un- derstand that. Iie turned to Sherrill instead. An engine and tender coupled - to a single car stood at the railway station. "We're going to Chicago?" he in- quired of Sherrill.

Twenty year's ago, when the contlict of competing interests was at its height, Cornet was the head of tale line, Stafford was head of another, and the two lines had very much the same connections and competed for the same cargoes" "I begin to see !" Father Perron ex- claimed. "Please go on." "In the early nineties both lines still were young; Stafford had, I believe, two ships; Corvet had three." "So few? Yes; It grows plainer!" "In 1554, Stafford managed a stroke vhih't, If fate had not Intervened, nest have assured the ultimate extinction of Corvet's line or its absorption into Stafford's, Stafford gained as his part- ner Franklin Ramsdell, a wealthy man whom he had convinced that the take traffic offered chances of great profit; and this connection supplied him with the capital whose lack had been ham- pering him, as It was still hampering Corvet. The new firm—Stafford and Ramsdell—projected the construction, with Ramsdell's money, of a number of great steel freighters. The first of these—the litwaka, a test ship whale experience was to guide them In the construction of the rest—was launched in the fail of 1895, and was lost on its maiden trip with both Stafford and Ramsdell aboard. The Stafford and Ramsdell interests could not survive the death of both owners and disap- peared from the lakes. Is this what you wanted to know?" The priest nodded. Alan leaned tensely forward, watching; what he had heard seemed to have increased and deepened the priest's feeling over what he had to tell anis to have aided his comprehension of it. "His name was Caleb Stafford," Fa- ther Perron began. "('this is what Benjamin Corvet told to the when he was dying aider the wreckage on the ferry.) 'Ile was as fair and able a man as the lakes ever knew. I had my will of most men in the hike trade in those .days; but I could not have my will of him.

If the confession left some things unexplained, it did not lack cop - limitation ; the priest had learned enough to be certain that It was no hallucination of madness. He had been charged definitely to repeat what had been told him to the persons he was now going to meet; so he watched ex- pectantly upon the railway station platform at St. Ignace. A tall, hand- some man whotn Father Perron thought must be the Mr. Sherrill with whom he had communicated appeared upon the car platform; the young man from Number 25 followed him, and the two helped down a young and beauti- ful girl. They recognized the priest by tits dress and came toward him at once. "Mr. Sherrill?" Father Perron in- quired. Sherrill assented, taking the priest's hand and introducing his daughter. "I am glad to see you safe, Mr. Staf- ford." The priest had turned to Alan. "We have thanks to offer up for that, you and I1" "I am his son, thee! I thought that must be so." Alan trembled at the priest's sign .of confirmation. There was no shock of surprise in this; he had suspected ever since August, when Captain Stafford's watch and the wedding ring had so strangely come to Constance, that he night he Stafford's son. He looked at Constance, as they followed the priest to the motor which was waiting to take theta to the house of old Father Benitot, whose guest Father Perron was; she was very quiet.

It publishes and 1'a- ertiitn not only bucks dealing with art, liters urs, politics, and econ- omics, but practically all the text- books used in the Russian elemen- tary and secondary schools. It has more, than doubled the number of books printed In Russia in 1913. The types of books differ greatly from the pre-war times; now about half the books are on political and e.-on0inlo topics, while formerly these books made tip only live per cent. of the p'roduotion. in 1913, 7,000;000 cop- ies of books were published to twen- ty-four languages other than the Rue- elan; in 1927 there were 50,000,000 books in fifty-seven other languages, reflecting the enlightened policy of the Soviet Government toward its minor nationalities. This year the State Publishing Society alone will issue about 10,000,000 copies of books by Lenine and about Lenine. All' these achievements were called to the attention o1 the citizens in a great many speeches, exhibitions, concerts and other festivities. Uni- organizations of ersiti v es, schools, communist youth and various trade unions participated in the celebra- tion.

Bright Spots In Prominent Places— Color Scheme Is Followed. Practically every European capital has its "flower women." They are part of the city, and no doubt can tell more about its everyday life than moat other inhabitants, for do they not watoh the ever -flowing traffic morning, noon and night, on relay and on sunny days, in autumn, spring and summer? Berlin's flower women stand along Leipziger Plats and on the corner o1 Potsda.mer Platz, two Joint squares in the heart of the city, writes the Berlin correspondent of the Christian Science Monitor. All along the green lawn on one side of Leipziger Plata they have built up their small stands, and passing them, is like walking along a garden front. The Berlin flower women seem to enjoy building up veritable moun- tains of one special oolor. There is, one whose stand consists of two piles of red roses and blue forget -me -nota Next to it is a stand, one -halt all white, the other all yellow. A man. for occasionally a man takes the place of the traditional woman, has three buckets filled with masses of yellow flowers. While the street cars rattle past, and the heavy buses thunder along, and thousands of people come out of the busy Leipziger Strasae, one hears above the din the well-known cries: "Herrliche Rosen tur zwanzig for twenty pennies"), i e s"). or"Was soll es dens sein, mein Dame?"
