was one connection with each t'of the

had established that circumstance as
influencing the- fortunes of the.first

self, as the blood' queerly un-
der the Skin, that the fact might be
a mere coincidence. When(he estab-

of the third, and of the fourth and
of the fifth, such explanation no long-

vehicles; crossing his, they entered

burned all about hem, and nearer
were parked en iirir ease number of,
farm wagons and b ggies, with horses
harnessed and' munching grain.
Ian's guide foun l a place among
t ese for his, aut mobile, and they
got out: and 'went 'forward on foot.
11 about them, seated upon the moss
o walking about, were Indians, f am-
il groups among which children
played. Se platformhad been built
wader the: trees; it some thirty
Indians, all mien, sa in straight-back-
ed chairs; in fron of and to the
sides of the platfor , an audience of
several hundred occupied benches, and
around the border of the meeting
others were gather d, merely observ-
ing. 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-.

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

"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.

"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.
