Continued from last week.,
The tea room of such a department
store as Field's offers to young people
' opportunities for dining together with
out furnishing reason for even inno-
cently connefting their names too of
ten. These is something essentially
casual and unpremediated about it --4
-as though the man and the girl, both
shopping and both hungry, had just
happened to meet and go to lunch
together. As Constance recently had
drawn closer to, Henry Spearrrian in
her thought, and particularly since
she had been seriously ,lconsiderring
marrying him, she had clung delib-
orately to this unplanned ' appearance
about their meetings. She found some-
thing thrilling in this casualness too.
Spearman's bigness, which attracted
eyes to him always in a crowd, was
merely the first and most obvious of
the . things which 'kept attention on
him; there were few women who, hav-
ing caught sight of the big, handsome,
decisive, carefully groomed man,, could
look away at once. If Constance sus-
pected that, ten years before, it - might
have been"' the eyes of shop -girls that
followed Spearman with the greatest
interest, she was certain no one could
find anything flashy about him now.
What he compelled now was admira-
tion and respect alike for his good
looks and his --appearance of personal
achievement-- a tribute very different.
from the tolerance granted those
boys brought up as irresponsible in-
heritors of privilege like herself.
As they reached ` the restaurant
and passed between the rows of ta-
bles, women looked upeat him; obliv-
ious;, apparently, to their gaze, • he
chose a table a little rorroved from the
others, where servants hurried to take
his order, recognizing one whose time
was of importance, She glanced a-
cross at him, when she had settled
herself, and the first little trivialities
of their being •together were over,
"I took, a visitor down to your ofhcd
this morning," she said.
"Yee," he answered.
Constanc e was aware that it was
only formally that she had taken Alan
Conrad, down to confer with her 'father
since Henry was there, she knew her
father' wduld not act without his agree-
ment, and that whatever disposition
haat, been made regarding Alar had
been made by him. She wondered what
that disposition had been.

Spearman said reluctantly, "that Ben

Bonaire-- ship owner heading; and when
he found it, he discovered that most
of the space was devoted to the de-
seription of-Corvet's- share in the de-
velopment of shipping on the lakes
and the peculiarity of his past life in-
stead of any definite announcement
concerning his fate.
The other papers printed almost i-
dentical items' under small head -type
at the bottom of their first pages;
these items stated that Benjamin Cor -
vet, the senior but inactive partner of
the great shipping firm. of Cornet,
Sherrill, and Spearman), whose disap-
pearance bad been made the subject
of sensational rumor, is believed by his
partner, Mr. Henry Spearman, to have
simply gone away for a rest," and that
no anxiety was felt concerning him.
Alan found no mention of himself nor
any of the .circumstances connected
with Corvet's disappearance of which
Sherrill had told him.
Alan threw the papers away._ There
was a car line two blocks west, Sher-
rill had said, which would take him
within a short distance of the house
on Astor Street; but that neighborhood
of fashion whjere the Sherrills—and
now Alan himself—lived was less than
a half hour's walk' froth the iown-
town district and, in the present tur-
moil of his thoughts, he wanted to be
moving.
Spearman, he reflected 'as he walked
north along the avenue, plainly had
dictated the paragraphs he' just had
in the Tapers. Sherrill, Alan
knew, had desi ed to keep the circum -
read
stances regarding Corvet from becom
ing public.; an without Sherrill's a-
greement conce lment would have been
impossible, bu it was Spearman. who

impossible for Alan to enroll aid from
the newspapers or the police. Alan
° did not know whether he might have
found it expedient to seek publicity;
but now he had not a single proof of I
anything he could tell. For Sherrill,
naturally,* had retained the papers
Corvet had left. Alan could not hope
to obtain credence from Sherrill and,
without•, Sherrill's aid, he could not
obtain -credence front any one else.
Was there, then, no one whom Alan
could tell of his encounter with Spear-
man in Corvet's` house, with proli
ability of receiving belief? Alan had
not been thiukingdirectly of Constance
Sherrill, as he walked swiftly north
to. the Drive; but she was, in a way,
present in all his thoughts. She had
shown interest in him, or at least • in
the position he was in, and sympathy;
he had even begun to tell her about
these' things when he had spoken to
Corvet, Sherrill: an
idea, if. I oppose` hi

Constance leaned back, confused.
"He—Alan Conrad? ' she questioned.
"He can't have done that, Henry! Oh,
he can't have meant hat!"_
"Maybe he didn't; I said I couldn't
make' out what- - he •; d Mean," • Spear-
