' Spearman jerked suddenly up: Alan, going' to the door and looking into the hall, saw Wassa- quam. The Indican, evidently had re- turned to the house some time before; he had been bringing to Alan now the accounts whichhe had settled.. He seemed to have been standing in the hall for some time, listening;, but he came in now, looking inquiringly from one to. the other of them. - "Not friends?" he inquired. "You and Henry ?"

He drew out the - drawer and dumped its contents out upon the floor; he turned ,the drawer about then, and pulled the bottom out of it. Beneath the bottom which he had removed appeared now another bottom and a `few sheets of paper scrawled in an uneven hand and with different colored inks. At sight of them, Spearman, who had followed them into the room, ut- tered an oath and sprang forward. The Indian's small dark hand grasped Spearman's wrist, and his face twitch- ed itself into a fierce grin which show- ed how littlecivilization had modified in him the aboriginal passions. But Spearman did not try to force. his way; instead, he drew back suddenly.,:.;_ ,Alau stooped and picked up h papers and put them in his pocket.
