The Indian Drum Continued from Page 7 He was recovering from the first shock of her question now, and, re- fleeting that men who accompanied Constance Sherill probably did not carry hand baggage, he put the suit case down, and followed her to the walk. As she turned north and he i caught step beside her, he studied her with quick interested glances, realiz- ing her difference from all other girls he ever had walked with, but he did not speak to her nor she to_ him. Tum- ing east at the first corner, they came within sight and hearing again of the turmoil of the lake. "We go south here," she said at the corner of the Drive "Our house is almost back to back with Mr. Corvets." Alan, looking up after he had made the turn with her, recognized the block as one he had seen pictured sometimes in magazines and illustrated papers as a "row" of _the city's most beauti- ful homes. Larger, handsomer,, and finer than the mansions on Astor Street, each had its lawn or terrace in front and on both sides, where snow - mantled shrubs and straw -bound rose- bushes suggested the gardens. of spring. They turned in at the entrance of a house in the middle of the block and went up the low, wide stone steps; the door opened without ring �or-knock, a servant in the hall within took. Alan's hat and coat, and he followed Con- stance past some great room upon his right to a smaller one farther down the hall. • DR. F. J.

He sat down, and she left him; when her footsteps had died away, and he could hear no other sound except the occasional soft tread of some ser- vant, he twisted himself about in his chair and looked around. A door be- tween the room he was in and the large room which had been upon his right as' they came in --a drawing-room— stood open; he could see into the draw- ing -room, and he could see . through tie other door a portion of the hall; his inspection of these increased the bewilderment he felt. Who were these Sherills ? Who was Corvet, and what was his relation to the Sherills ? What beyond all, was their -and Corvet's re- lation to Alan Conrad—to himself ? The shock and confusion he had felt at the nature of his reception in Corvet's' house, and the strangeness of his transition from his little Kansas town to a place and people such as this, had prevented him fitom inquiring directly froiu Constance Sherill as to that; and, on her part, she had assum- ed, plainly, that he already knew and need not be told He got up and moved about the rooms; they, like all rooms, must tell something about the people who lived in them.` The rooms were large and open; Alan, in dreaming and fancying to himself the places to which he alight some day be summoned, had never dreamed of entering such a home as this. For it was a home; in its light and its fturnishings there was nothing of the stiffness and aloofness which Alan, never having seen such rooms except in pictures, had imagined to be necessary evils accompanying riches and luxury.; it was not the rich- ness of its furnishings that impressed him first, it was its livableness. Among -the more modern pieces in the draw- ing -room . and 'hall; were some which were antique. In the part of hall that lie,• could see,.. a black and ancient -look- ing chair whose lines he recognized, stood against the wall. He had seen chairs like that, heirlooms of colonial Massachusetts or Connecticut, cherish- ed in Kansas farmhouses and recalling some long -past exodus of the family from New England. On the wall of the drawing -room, among the beauti- ful and elusive paintings and etchings, was a picture of a ship, plainly fram- ed; he moved closer to look at, it, but he did not know what kind of ship it was. except that it was a sailing ship of some long -disused `design. Then he drew back again into the smaller room where he had been left, and sat down again to wait. A comfortable fire of cannel coal was burning in this smaller room in a black fire basket set in white marble grate, obviously much older than the house; there were. big easy leather chairs before it, and beside it there were bookcases. On one of these stood a two -handled silver trophy cup, and hung high upon the wall• a- bove the mantel was a long- racing sweep with. the date '85. painted in in black across the blade. He had the feeling, conning quite unconscious- ly, of liking the people who lived in this handsome house. He straightened .and looked about, then got up, as Constance Sherill came back into the room. "Father is not here just now," she said. "We weren't sure from your telegram exactly at what hour- you would arrive, and that was why I wait- ed at Mr. Corvet's to be sure we would- n't miss you. I have telephoned father, and he's coining home at once." She hesitated an instant in the door- way, then turned to go out again. "Miss Sherill— he said, She halted. "Yes." 'You told me you had been waiting for me to come and explain my connection with Mr. Covert. Well -- I can't do that; that is what I came here hoping to find out." She came back tosiard- him slowly. "What do. you meal?" she asked.

As she sat looking at him, hands clasped beneath her chin, and elbows resting on the arm of the chair, there was speculation and interest in her gaze; but she did not ask him any- thing more about himself, She in- quired about the Kansas weather that week in comparison with the storm which had just ceased in Chicago, and. about Blue Rapids, which she said." she had looked up upon the inap, `and he took this chat for what it was—not- ification that she did not wish to con- tinue the 'other topic just then. She, he saw, was listening, like him- self, for the sound of Sherill's arrival at the house; and when it came, she recognized it first, rose, and excused herself. He heard her voice in the hall, then her father's deeper voice which answered; and ten minutes later, he looked up to see the man these things had told hisn must be Sherill standing in the door and look- ing at hint. He was a tall man sparely built; his broad shoulders had been those of an athletein his youth; now, at something over fifty, they had taken on a slight, rather studious stoop, and his -brown' hair had thinned upon his forehead. His eyes, gray like his daughter's, were thoughtful eyes; just now deep trouble filled them. His look and bearing of a refined and. educated gentleman took away all chances of offense from, the long, inquiring scrutiny to which he subjected Ala"atie features and figure before he/ came in- to the room. Alan had risen at sight of him; Sherill, as he came in, motioned hint back to his seat; he did not sit down himself, but crossed to the mantel anti leaned against it. " I am Lawrence Sherill," he said. As the tall, graceful, thoughtful man stood :Iooking down at him, Alan could tell nothing. of the attitude of this friend of Benjamin; Corvet toward himself. His manner had the same reserve toward Alan, the- same quest- ioning consideration of him, that Con- stance Sherill had had after Alan had told her about himself.- "My. imself.."My` daughter has repeated to me what you told her Mr. Conrad,"Sherill observed. ` Is there anything , you want to add to me regarding that?" "There's nothing. I can add," Alan answered. "I told her all that I know about myself." And about Mr. Corvet?" "I know nothing at all about Mr. Corveti."" "I am going to tell you some things about -Mr. Corvet," Sherill said. "I had reason—I do not want to explain just yet what that reason was—for thinking you could tell us certain thing about Mr. Corvet which would -per- haps, make plainer what has happened to hint When I tell you about him now, it is in hope that, in that way, I may awake some forgotten Memory of him in you; if not that, you may dis- cover some coincidences of dates or events in Corvet's life with dates or events in your own. Will you tell me frankly, if you do discover anything like that ?" "Yes; certainly." Alan leaned forward in the big chair, hands clasped between his knees, his blood tingling sharply in his face and fingertips. So Sherill expected to make him remember Corvetl There was strange excitement in this, and he waited eagerly for Sherill to be- gin. For several moments, Sherrill paced up and dotn.before the fire; then he turned tos place before the manel, - "I first met Benjamin Corvet," he_ inns and all that had ha.ppened in the I commenced, "nearly thirty years a - last half hour had made flim feel; lean- ing his arms on the back of the chair in which he had been -sitting, he man- aged to smile reassuringly; and he fought down and controlled resolutely go.

She flushed slightly, following her first start of surprise after he had begun to speak; when he had finished, he saw that she was a little pale. "Then youdon't know anything a- bout Mr. Covert at all," she said. "No; until 1 got his letter sending for me here, I'd never seen or heard his name." She was thougrtful fora moment. "Thank you for telling zee," she said. "I'll tell ray father when he comes." your father is—?" he ventured. She understood now that the name of Sherill had meant npthing to him. "Father is Mr. Covert's closest friend, and his business partner as well," she explained. He thought she was going to tell him something more about them; but she seemed then to decide to leave that for, her father to do. She crossed to the big chair beside the grate and seated • AVOID COUGH& and COUGHEfl top preads Duca. i sxicz H1070 ILO 30 RT -STOPS COUGH.if 11W Ulf' Wit mums PO ITOR` made ;me want to.�put phis :n oney back into ships flying: the 'American flag; but there was _small °chance of putting it --and keeping it With profit—in Annerican ships on the'sea:; In Boston and New York, t had seen -the foreign flag( on the deep water ships :British German, French, Norwegian, Swedish, and .
