Orders left at The Huron Expositor Office, Seaforth, promptly at- tended. By WILLIAM MacHARG and �. EDWIN BALMER : Thomas Allen, Publisiier, Toronto i • In September he reported th. a brief, totally impersonal note, that he was continuing with the investigations he had been making previous to his visit to Harbor Point; thiscame from Sarnia, Ontario. In October . he sent different address where he could be found in case anything more, came, such as the box which hadcome to Constance in August. _She wrote' to him in - reply each time; in lack of anything more im- portant to- tell him, she related some of 'her activities and inquired about his. After she had written him thus twice, he replied, describing his life on the boats pleasantly and humor- ously; then, though, she immediately replied, she did not hear from him gain She had retuined -to -Chicago late i September and soon was very bus with social affairs, benefits, and baz ars which were given that fall fo Red Cross and - the different Allie causes; a little later -came a series of the more personal and- absorbing luncheons and dances and dinners for her and for Henry, since their en- gagement, which long had been tak- en for granted by every one who knew them, - was announced now. So the days drifted into December and winter - again, The lake, beating against 'the' es- planade across the Drive before - Con - stance's windows, had changed its color; it had no longer its autumn blue- and silver; it was gray, slug- gish with floating needle -points of ice meld in solution. The floe had not yet begun to form butthe piers and er an g p break- waters had white caps- frozen from ,spray --harbingers of the closing of navigation. The summer floats, those of Corvet, Sherrill, and Spearman with the rest, were being tied up The birds were gone;- only the gulls re mained—gray, -clamorous shapes cir- cline and caling to one another ' at. cross the water. Early in December the newspapers announced the closing of the locks at the "Soo" by the ice. That she had not heard from Alan was beginning to recur to Constance with - strange insistence. He must have left the boats by now, unless he had found work on . one of those few which- ran through the winter. He and -his occupation, instead of slipping from her thougths with time, absorbed her more end more - Soon after he had gone to Manitowoc and he had written that he had discovered nothin , she had gone to the office ,of the Pe key paper and, booking back over th twenty -year-old files, she had . .Tead' t e account ' of the loss of the sMiwaka, with all on board. That fate Awas modified -only by -the Indian Drum - beating short. - .So one man from the Miwaka had been saved somehow, many believed. If that could have been, there was, or there had been, some one alive after the ship "dis appeared" -Alan's word went through her with a- chill—who knew what had happened to the -ship and who knew of the fate of his shipmates. - She had gone over the names again. if there was meaning in .the Drum, who was the -man who had been sav- ed anti visited that fate on Benjamin Corvet ? Was it ' Luke? There was no Luke named among the crew; but such men often went by many names If Luke had' been among the crew of the Miwaka and had brought from that - lost ship something which' threaten- ed Uncle Benny that, at least, explain- ed Luke. Then another idea had -seized her. Captain Caleb Stafford was named a- mong the lost, of course; with him had perished his son,- a boy of three. That was all that wee said, and all that was to be learned of him, the boy. ?' This had been three then. This was wild, crazy speculation. The ship was lost with all hands only the Drum believed in by the superstitious and - the- most ignorant, denied that. The Drum said that one soul had been saved. How could a child of three have been saved when strong men, to the last one, had perished? And, if he had been saved, he was Stafford's son. Why should Uncle Benny- have sent him away and cared for him and then sent for him and, himself dis- appearing, -leave all he had to—Staff- ord's son ? Or was he Stafford's son:? Her thought went back to the things which had . been sent—the things from a man's pockets with a wedding ring among them. She had believed that the ring cleared the mother's name; might it in reality only more involve? Why had it come back like this to the man by whom perhaps, it had been given? Henry's words came again and again to Constance: "It's a queer concern you've got fortBen. Leave it alone,. I tell you!" e' knew then something about Uncle Benny which might have brought on some terrible thing which Henry .did not know but might guess ? Constance went weak within. Uncle Benny's wife - had left him, she remembered. Was it better after all, to `leave it alone ?" But it wasn't - a thing which - one could command one's mind to leave a- lone; and Constance could not make herself try to, so long as it concern- ed. Coming home late one afternoon toward the middle of December, - she disni-issedd the motor and stood gaz- ing at the gulls. The day was chill, gray; the air had the feelt and the voices of the gulls had the sound to her, which precede the coming , of a severe storm. The gulls recalled sharp_ ly to her the day when Alan first had come to them, and hod she had been the one first to meet him and the child verse which had told him that he too was of- the lakes. • - She went on into the house. A telegraph envelope addressed to her father was on the table in -the hall. A servant told her the message had come an hour before, and that he -had telephoned Mr. Sherrill's - office, but Mr, Sherrill was -not in. - There was a- n y a or d • no , n for her thinking that the mess. e might be from Alan ex- ! cepa his presence in her thoughts, but s� : went at once to -the telephone and called her father, - He was in -- now, and he direrterd her to open the mes- . ge and read it to him. . ve some one," she read aloud; she t oked in - her excitement at what carne ext --"Have some one who knew Mr. rvet well enough to recognize him ven if greatly changed, meet Carte Number 25, Manitowoc Wed- nesday this week, Alan Conrad. He heart was beating fast. "Are you ere?" she said into the 'phone, Y' c "Whom shall you send?" There was an instant's` silence. "I shall go myself," her father answered, She hung up the receiver, Had Alan sound Uncle Benny? He had found, appareirntly, someone whose resemb- lance to the picture she had showed him was marked enough to- make him believe that person might be Benjam- in Corvet; or he had heard of some one whe, from the account he had re- ceived, the thought `might be,. She read again the words of the `telegram "eve if greatly changed!" and she felt startling and terrifying warning in that phrase. - yes. Burr was .a.wheelsnian on Carferry Number 2ti He was a lake - man, - experienced and capable; that fact, some months before, had served as introduk tion for um to the fre- quenters of this place. When the ferry was a in harbor and his duties left him idle, Barr came ,up and wiat- ed there, occupying always the same chair. He never drank; he never spoke to Others unless they spoke ' first to hire, but then he talked free= Iy about old days on the lakes about ships which had been lost and about men long dead. •- Alan decided that there could be no better place to interview old Burr , than here; he;waited therefore, and in the early evening the old man came lin 1 Alan watched him curiously as Iwithout speaking to any one, he went to the chair recognized as his' and sat down. He . was a slender but muscularly ;built man, seeming about sixty-five, but he might be consider- ably younger or older than that. His hair was completely- white; his nose was thin and sensitive; his face was smoothly placid, emotionless, content- ed; his ey "s were queerly clouded, deepset and.. intent. Those whose names Alan had found on Cornet's- list had been of all ages, young and Old; but .Burr might well have been a contemporary of Corvet on the lakes: Alan moved over and took a seat beside the old man. "You're from No. 25?" he asked, to draw him into conversation, • "Yes." "I've been working on the carrier Pontiac as lookout. Sae's on her way to tie up at "Cleveland, so I Ieft her and came on here.

I don't know When he expects to go. -6 CHAPTER RV Old Burr . of the Ferry It was l in to November and while the coal 1 carrier Pontiac, t ac, on which he was serv`n aslookout, g was in Lake Superior that Alan first heard. of Jim Burr. The name spoken among some other names in casual conversation_ by a member of the crew, stirred and excited him; the name .James Burr, occurringl on Benjamin Corvet's list, h• ad borne opposite it legend "All disappeared; no trace," and Alan, whose inn stigations had accounted for others w om the list contained, had been abl regarding Burr only to verify th fact that at the address given no ne of this name was to -be found. He - questioned,- the oiler who had mentioned Burr.. The :man had met Burr one night- in Manitowoc with other mer, and something about the old man had impressecL both his name and,image on him; he knew no more than. that. At 'Manitowoc!—the place from which Captain Stafford's watch had been sent to ' Constance Sherrill andwhereAlan lead- sought -for;abut' had failed to find, the sender! . -Had Alan stumbled by chance upon the one whom! Benjamin Corvet, after his disappearance, found Burr? Had Burr. been the sender, under Corvet's direc- tion, of these- things ? Alan specu- lated upon, this. The man might well, of course,, be some other Jim Burr; there were probably many men by that name. 'et the James ° Burr of Cornet's list must have been such a one as the oiler described—a white haired old man. Alan could not leave the Pontiac and go at once to Manitowoc to seek for Burr; for he was needed where• he was. The season of navigation on Lake Superior was near its close. In,: Duluth skippers were clamoring for cargoes; ships were lading in haste for a last trip before ice closed the lake's outlet at the Soo against all ships. It was fully a week later and after the Pontiac had been laden a- gain and had repassed the length of Lake Superior that Alan left the vessel at Sault Ste. Marie and took the train for Manitowoc. The little lake port of Manitowoc, iwhich he reached in the late afternoon eras turbulent with the lake season's approaching close. Long lines - of bulk freighters, loaded and 'tied up to wait for spring, filled the river, their released crews rioted through the town. Alan inquired for the seamen's drinking place, where his informant had met Jim Burr; following the direction he received he made his way along the river bank until he found it. The place was neat, immaculate; a score- of lakemen sat talking at little tables or leaned against the bar. Alan inquired of - the proprietor for Jim Burr The proprietor knew old Jim Burr LIFT CORNS OR ' CALLUSES OFF Doesn' ' hurt! Lift any corn or callus off with fingers - Don't ! suffer !

My name's, Conrad Alan'Conrad," He saw no recognition of the name in Burr's reception of it; but he had not expected that None -of those on Benjamin Corvet's list had . had " any knowledge of Alan Conrad or had heard the nam before. Alan was name silent, , w etching the old man; Burr, silent too, seemed listen- ing to the cor versation which came to then from the - tables near by, where men werelkin and ofships� g of -cargoes, and of men who worked and sailed uptin them. . "How long liave you been on the lakes?" Alan inquired. "All my life..", The question awak- ened reminiscence in the old- man. "My father had a farm I didn't like farming. The tchooners—they were. almost all schooners - in those days— came in to load! with lumber. When I was nine years old, I ran away and got on board a; schooner. - I've been at. it, sailor steam, ever"since." Do you remei iber.the Miwaka?" "The Miwaka?" Old Burr turned abruptly and stud- ied Alan with a slow scrutiny which -seemed to look him through and through;. yet while his eyes remained fixed on Alan sudiienly they grew blank. He was knot thinking now of Alan, but had teamed his thoughts within himself. 's • ``-`I -reneembeaa Afehee-aYes,-She was :lost in '95," he said. "In '95," he re- peated. - - "You lost a nephew with her, didn't - you?" "A .newphew ino. That is a mis- take. I lost a- brother "Where were you living then?" - "In Emmet County, -Michigan." "When did yot move to Point Cor - bay, Ontario?" "I never lived at Point Corbay." "Did any - of your family live there?" "No." Old Burr looked array from Alan, - and the queer cloudiness of his eyes became more evident. "Why do you 'ask- this ?" he said irritably "What have they been tell- ing you about me? I told you about myself; our farm was in Emmet Coun- ty, but we had a liking -for the lake. One of my brothers was lost in '95 with the Miwaka; and another in. '99 with the Susan Hart." "Did you know. Benjamin Corvet?" • Alan asked. - Old Burr stared at hint uncertainly. "I know- who he is, of course." "You never met- him?" "Not, • "Did you receite a leommunication from him some time this year?" "From him.? From Benjamin Cor - vet ? No." Old - Burr's uneasiness seemed to increase. "What sort of communication ?" "A request to send some things to Miss Constance Sherrill at Harbor Point." "I never heard of Miss Constance Sherrill. To send what things?" "Several things among them a watch which had belon . to Captain Stafford of the Miwa Old Burr got up sud gazing down at Alan. Captain Stafford's?—n itatedly.

He went forward between the tracks upon the deck to the companionway, and ascended and found the skipper and presented his credentials. No berth on the ferry was vacant yet but one would soon be, and Alan was ac- cepted in lieu of the man who was about to leave; his wages would not begin until the other man. left, buil in the meantime he could remain a- board the ferry if he wished.

A week passed; Alan, established as a lookout now on No. 25 and carrying on his duties, saw Burr daily and- almost every hour; his watch coincided with Burr's- watch a!t the 'wheels -,they` went do duty and - were relieved to - together. Yet better acquaintance did not make the old man more communi- cative; a score of times Alan attempt- ted to get hum to tell more about him- self, but he evaded Alan's questions and, if Alan persisted, he avoided him. Then, on an evening bitter cold with the coming of winter, dear and filled with stars, Alan, just relieved from - watdtl, stood by the pilothouse as Burr also was relieved. The old man paus- ed beside him, looking to the west. "Have you ever been in Sturgeon's Bay," he asked. "In' Wisconsin?
