the second floor he went to a front

him to come in. Sheriff. went IN and,
when he had made sure that the serv-
ant was not with Alan, he closed the

Then he turned back to Alan, and
for an instant stood indecisive as
though he did not know how to begin
what he wanted to say. AS he glanced
down at key he took from his pocket,
his indecision seemed to receive di-

he put it down on Alan's dresser.

Sheriff. walked to the window and
stood as though Looking out, but his
eyes were blank with thought.
"For almost twenty years." he said,

Between 1856, when l first met him.
and 1895, Corvet laid the foundation of

"What kind of change came over
him that year?" Alan asked.
Sheriff. gazed down at the rug, then
at Alan, then past him. "a change
in his way of living" he replied. THE
Corvet line of boats went on, eX-
banded; interests were acquired in
other lines; and Corvet and those
allied with him swiftly grew rich. But
in all tins great development, for
which COrvet's genius and ability had
! laid the foundation, Corvet himself
ceased to take active part. He took
