He had found that no one of; the persons whom ha saw had known all manyof cissa Benjamin Corvet p Y, them did not knew him at all, the others knew him only as a name. But, when Alan proceeded, always there 1 was one connection with each t'of the original names; always one' cirei n - stance bound all /together. When he had established that circumstance as influencing the- fortunes of the.first two on his lists, he had said to him- self, as the blood' queerly un- der the Skin, that the fact might be a mere coincidence. When(he estab- ished it also as effecting the fate, of the third, and of the fourth and of the fifth, such explanation no long- er sufficed; and he found it in common to all fourteen, sometimes as the., de- ciding factor of their fate, sometimes as only , slightly affe ting ,them, but always it was there.

A very ;old I dian, with inor- dinately wrinkled s n ! and dressed in a frock coat, was addressing these people from the Irl tform in_the In- dian tongue. Alan halted beside his guide. He saw among the drab -clad figures look- ing on, the brighter dresses and sport coats of summer `Visitors zaho had come to watch Th figure of a girl among these caught is attention, and he started; then swi tly he told him- self that it was only his thinking of Constance Sherrill tl t made him be- lieve this was she. Put now she had seen him; she paled ; then as quickly flushed, and leaving the group she had been with., came toward him. He had no choice ow whether e would avoid her or not; and his ha piness at seeing herileeld him stup'd, `watching her. Heryes were ve y bright and with loan hing more than friendly greeting; there was happiness in them too. His' hreat shut to- gether as he recogni' ed this, and his hand closed warmly over the small, trembling hand , whic she put out to him. All his conscious thought was Yost for the moment in the mere re- alization of her presence; . he stood, holding her hank, oblivious that there were people looking; she too seemed careless of that. Then she whiten- ed again and withdreher hand; she seemed seemed slightly confused. He was t confusedas well, it was not like this that he had meant to greet her; he caught himself to- gether. Cap in hand, h:•e stood beside her try- ing to look and to feel as any ordinary acquaintance of hers woud have look-. ed. • i CHAPTER 'XIV The Owner of the Watch "So they got word__ II to you!" Con- stance exclaimed; site seemed still cenf used. "Oh, no—ef course they couldn't have done 'that! They've hardly got my letter yet." "Your letter?" 'Alen asked. "I wrote to Blue Rapids," she ex- plained. "Sonne things came—they were sent ` to me. Seme things of Uncle Benny's which were meant for you instead of me." "You mean you've ! heard from him ?" Ii "No—not that." "What things;, Miss ijSherrill?" "A watch of his andozne -coins and —a ring." She did net explain the significance of those things, and he could not tell from her Mere enumera- tion of r1them( .and; witholtt .`ae ling' them that they furnished proof that his father was dead: She could not inform him of that, she felt, just here and now,- "Y'11 tell you about thet later. You —you were coming to arbor Point to see us ?" He colored. "I'm afraid not. I got as near as this to you because there is a man—an Indian. ---sI have to see." "An Indian ?. What is j his name ? You see, I know quite a lot of them." "Jo Paps." She shook her head. No; I don't know him." She heti drawn him a,' little away from the crowd about the meeting. His blood was beating hard with recog- nition of her manner toward him. Whatever he was, whatever the dis- grace` might be that his`', father had left to him, she was' still' resolute to share in. it. He had kno she would be so. She found a spo where the m Children Orr FOR CASTOIIand A is oar You kis u BoughtBoars theOVUM of moss was - covered . with dry pine needles and sat dolga Upon. the ground. "Sit down," she i vited; "I :, want you to tell me what! you have been doing." "I've been on the heats." He: drop- ped down upon the Moss beside her. "It's a—wonderful business, j `Miss Sherrill; I'llnever be able to go: away from the watek egaint ''vie' been working rather hard at any new..pro- fession---studying it, I mean Until yesterday I -was aof very .highly, honored member of the crew. of the package freighter O*coda; I left her at 'Frankfort and carne up here." 1 "Is Wassaquam with 'ou? "He wasn't on the Cscode; but he was with rile at first.. Now, 1 be- lieve he has gone back . to ' his own people -=to Middle Village." "You mean you've been looking for Mr, . Corvet m that way?" "Not exactly that." He hesitated but he eould see no reason for riot telling what he hadbeen doing. He had not so much hidden rain tier and her father what he had found in Benjamin Coxvet's house;. rather, he had refrained from mentioning it in h a- gonotes to them when he left Chic go because he had thought that the lists . would lead to an immediate ex- planation; they had not led to that, but only to a suggestion`_indefinite as yet. Be had known that, if his search finally developed nothing more than it had, he must at last con- sult Sherrill and get Sherrill's aid. "We • found some writing, Miss Sherrill," he said, 9n the house on Astor Street that night , after Luke came." 'What writing?" He took the lists from his pocket and showelt thein to her. She separ- ated and looked through the sheets and read the names written in the same hand that had written the directions upon the slip of paper that came to her four days before, with the things from Uncle- Benny's pockets. "My father had kept these,very secretly," he explained. "He had them hidden. Wassaquam knew where they were, and that night after" Luke was dead. and you had gone home, he gave them . to me." "After I had gone home? Henry - went back to see you that night; he had said he, was going back, and af- terwards 1 asked hien, and be told - me he had seen you.ag..in. Did you show him these?" _ "He saw them—yes," "He was there when Wassaquain showed you where they were?" "Yes." - A little line deepened between her brows, and she sat thoughtful. "So you -have been going about;see- ing these people," she said. "What d you Econ out?" have "Nothing definite at alk None 'of them knew my father; they were onlye amazed to find that any one in Chicago had known their names." She got up suddenly. "You don't mind if I am with you when you talk with this Indian?" He arose and looked aromnd for the guide who had brought him. His guide had .been standing near, evi- dently waiting until Alan's attention was turned his way; he gestured now toward. a Yvan, it woman; and several children who -were lunching, seated about a basket on the ground. The yuan—thine patient -and ef medium size was of the indefinite age of the Indian, neither young nor yet old. It was evident that life had been hart for the man; he looked worn and un- dernouris4ted; his clothing eves the cast-off suit of sonde one much larg- er whieh had been inexpertly altered to make it fit him. As Alan and Constance approached them, the group turned- on them their dark, in- expressive eyes, and the woman got up, but the "man remained seated on the ground. "I'm looking for Jo Papo," Alan explained, "Whit you want?" the squaw asked. "You got vFork?" The words were pronounced with difficulty and evildent- ly composed most of. her English vo- cabulary.
