From the time when, coming to see Corvet, he had found Corvet gone, until now, he had Celt the impossibility of explaining from anything he knew or seemed like- ly to learn the mystery which had sur- rounded himself and which had sur- rounded ' ur•rounded' Corvet. But these names and addresses! They indeed offered some- thing to go upon, though Luke now was forever still, and his pockets had told Alan nothing. He foundEmmet county on the map and put his finger on it. Spearman, Wassaquam had said, came from there. "The Land of the Drum Fie said aloud. Deep, and suddeia feeling stirred in. him as he traced out this land on the chart -the little towns and villages, the ielands and -headlands, their `lights and their uneven shores. A feeling of "home" had come to him, which be had not had on coming to Chi- cago. There were Indian names and French - up there about the meetings of the great waters. The sense that he was of these lakes, that surge of feeling which lie had felt first in con- versation with Constance Sherrill was strengthened an, hundredfold. He gazed down at the lists of names which Benjamin Corvet had kept so carefully and so secretly; these 'were his father's people, too; these ragged. shores and the islands studding 'the channels were the laxids where his fa- ther had spent the most active part of his life. There, then -these lists now made it. certain -that events had happened by which that life had been blighted. North, there by the meeting of the waters, was the region of the wrong .which was done. "That's where I must go I" he said aloud. "That's where I must go I" * * * * * * *• Constance Sherrill, on the following afternoon, received a telephone call from her father; he was coming home earlier than usual, he said; if she had planned to go out, would she wait un- ' til after he got there? The afternoon's Mail was upon a stand in the hall. She turned it over, looking through it-in- vitationsr social notes. She picked from among them an envelope ad- dressed to herself in a firm, clear hand, which, unfamiliar to her, still queerly startled her, and tore it open. "Dear Miss Sherrill," she read, "I arm. closing, for the time being, the house which, for default of other ownership, I must call mine. The pos- sibility •.that what has occurred here would cause you and your father anxi- ety about me in case I went away without telling you of my intention is the reason for this note. But it is not the only reason. I could not go away without telling you how deeply I ap- preciate`'the generosity and delicacy you and your father have shown me in spite of my position here and of the fact that I had no claim at all upon you. I shall not forget those, even though what happened here last night makes it impossible for me to try to see you again or even to write to you. "ALAN CONRAD." She heard her father's motor enter the drive and ran to bier with 'the let- ter in her hand. "He's written to you, then?" he said, at sight of it. fi ones: Office 106, Resid. J.

"I had a note from him this after- noon at the office, asking me to hold in abeyance for the time being the trust that Ben had left me and return- ing the key of the house to me for safekeeping." "Mas he already gone?" "I suppose so; I don't know." "We must find out." She caught up her wraps and began to put them on. Sherrill hesitated, then assented; and they went round the block together to the Corvet house. Sherrill, after a few instants' hesitation, took the key from his pocket and unlocked the door and went. in. The rooms, they saw, were all in perfect order; summer covers had been put upon the furniture; pro- tecting cloths had been spread over the Neils upstairs, After their Inspec- tion, they came out again at the front door, and her father closed it with a, snapping of the spring lock. Constance, as they walked away. turned .and looked back at the old house, gloomy and dark among its newer, fresher -looking neighbors, and suddenly she choked, and lier eyes ;TOW wet. That feeling was not for Uncle Benny; the drain of days hast had exhausted such a surge of feeling for SIC i. That which she r:ouid not wink :away WAS for the boy who bad mese tis that house a few weeks ago and for the mail Who Just new had gone, CHAPTER )CII The Thine From Corvet's Pockets. "Miss Constance Slierrill,; 1 -Harbor Springs, Michigan." Tho address, In large scrawling let - tars, was written across the brown xuper of the package which had b"eeu 'irought from the post 'office in the lit - tie resort village only a few moments before. The paper.covered a shoe box, crushed and old, bearing the name of "S. Klug, Dealer in Fine Shoes, Mani. towoc, Wisconsin." The box, like the outside wrapping, was carefully tied with a string. ' Constance, knowing no one in Mari towoc and surprised at the, nature tt. the package, glanced at the postmark an the brown paper which she had re- moved; it too was stamped Manito- woc. She cut the strings about the box and took off the cover, A black and brown dotted silk cloth filled the box; and, seeing, it, Constance caught her breath. It was -at least it was very like -the muffler which Uncle 'Benny used to wear in winter. _ She started with trembling fingers to take it from the box; then, realiz- ing from the weight of the package that the cloth was only a Wrapping or, at least, that other things were in the box, she picked up box and wrapping and ran up to her room. She locked the door and put the box upon the bed; now she lifted,out the cloth, It was a wrapping,'for the heavier things came with it ; and now, also, it re- vealed itself plainly as the scarf -Un- cle Benny's scarf I A paper fluttered out as she began to unroll it - a little cross -lined leaf evidently torn from. a pocket memorandum book. It had been folded and rolled up. She spread it out; writing was upon it, the small irregular letters of Uncle Benny's hand. 'f,hd to' Alan Conrad," she read; there followed a .Chicago address -the number of Uncle Benny's house on Astor street. Below this was another line: "Better care of Constance Sherrill (Miss)." There followed the aher- rills' address upon the Drive. And to this was another correction: "Not after June 12; then to Harbor Springs, Mich. Ask some one of that ; be sure the date; after. June 12." Constance, trembling, unrolled the scarf ; now coins showed from a fold, next a pocketknife, ruined and rusty; next a watch -a inan's large gold watch with the case queerly pitted and worn completely through in places, and last a plain little band of gold of the size for a woman's finger -a wed- ding ring. Constance, gasping and with fingers shaking so from excite; ment that she could scarcely hold these objects, picked them up and ex- amined them -the ring first. It very evidently was, as she had immediately thought, a wedding ring once fitted for a 'finger only a trifle less slender than her own. One side of the gold band was very much worn, not with the sort of wear . which a ring gets on a hand, but by some dif- ferent sort of abrasion. The other side of the band was roughened and pitted- but not so much worn; the in- side still bore the traces of an in- scription. "As long as we bo all alive," Constance could read, and the date, "June 2, 1891." It was in January, 1896, Constance remembered, that Alan Conrad had been brought to the people in Kansas; he then was "about three years old." If this wedding ring was his mother's, the date would be about right; it was a date probably something more than a year before Alan was born. Con- stance put clown the ring and picked up the watch. It was like Uncle Ben- ny's watch -or like one of his watches. EIe had several, she knew, presented to him at various times -watches al- most always were the testimonials. given to seamen for acts of sacrifice and bravery. • The spring which op- erated the cover would not work, but Constance forced the cover open. There, inside the cover as she had thought it would be, was engraved writing. Sand bad seeped into the case; the inscription was obliterated in part.
