there and the cracking of a shot. Sud-
denly all was light about me as, aware
of the breaking of the hawser and
alarmed by the shot, the searchlight of
the Mlwaka turned upon the tug. The
cut end of the hawser was still upon
the tug, and Spearman had been trying
to clear this when Stafford attacked

From the hand with which he pointed,
for he had been shot by Spearman;
and now again anda second and a
third time, from where he lay upon the

those shots killed the engineer, who
had rushed out where I was on the
deck; the third shot went through
Stafford's head. The Mlwaka was drift-
ing down upon the reef; her whistle
sounded again and again the tour long

the engineer up from below, fawned
on ale! I was safe for all him, he
said; I could trust Luke—Luke would
not tell! He too thought I had or-
dered the doing of that thing!
"'From the Mlwaka, Ramsdell yelled
curses at me, threatening me for what
he thought that I had done! I looked
at Spearman as he got up from the
deck, and I read the thought that had
been in him; he had believed that he
could cut the hawser 1n the dark, none
seeing, and that our word that it had
been broken wouldhave as much
strength as any accusation Stafford
could mike. He had known that to
share a secret such as that with me
would "make" him on the lakes; for
the loss of the Mtwaka would cripple
Stafford and Ramsdell and strengthen.

had surprised him at the hawser and
had seen,

rather it was a realization of a1l the
truths which the priest's words were
bringing together and arranging right-
ly for him.
Alan's father died in the morning.
All day they stayed out in the storm,
avoiding vessels. They dared not
throw Stafford's body overboard or
that of the engineer, because, if found,
the bullet holes would have aroused
Inquiry. When night came again, they
had taken the two ashore at some wild
spot and burled theme; to 1001:0 identi-
fication harder, they had taken the
things that they had with them and
buried them somewhere else. The
child—Alan—Corvet had smuggled

Spearman later that the child had

aware that something was wrong with
him, had learned enough so that she
lmad left him. Luke had come anti
come and come again for blaekmatl,

time clay he had appointed 10(111 him-

dines kept him from It, But Curvet
had made one close friend ; and whoa
that friend's daughter, for whom ('or -
vet cared note 1110at M all in the world,
had been about to marry Spearman,
Corvet defied the oust to Himself, and
he gained strength to oppose Spear-
man. So he had written to Stafford's
son to come; Ile 1(11(1 prepared for con-
fession and restltutkni ; but, after he
had done this and while he wafted,
something had seemed to break to
his brain; too long preyed upon by
terrible memories, and the ghosts of
those who had gone, and by the echo
of their voices crying to him from the
water, Corvet had wandered away;
he had come back, under the name
of one of those whom he had wronged,
to the lake life from which he had
sprung. Only now and then, for a
few hours, he had Intervals when he

And for Spearman, strong against

always the terror of the Indian Drum
—the Drum which had beat short for
the Mlwaka, the Drum which had
known that one was saved I That story
came from some hint which Luke had
spread, Corvet thought; but Spear-
man, born near by the Drum, believed
that the Drum lead known and that the
Drum had tried to tell; all through
the years Spearman had d001010d the
