found that the other hand must have
been larger and more powerful than
his own. Had it been Coryet's serv-

discovered.
This proof that some one had been
prying about In the house before him
self and since Corvet had gone, star
tied Alan and angered him. Who had
been searching in Benjamin Corvets
lin Alan's house? He pushed the
drawers shut hastily and hurried
across the hall to the room opposite.
In this room-plainly Benjamin Cor
vets bedroom-were no signs Of In
trusion. He went to the door Of the
room connecting with 1t, turned on
the light, and looked In. 1t was q
smaller room than the others and
contained a roll-top desk and cabi-
net. The cover of the desk was closed,
and the drawers of the cabinet were
shut and apparently undisturbed. He

pigeonhoIes and little drawers in the
upper part of the desk, as he swiftly
opened them, he found entirely empty.
He hurried to the cabinet; the draw

and very recently; for the scars and
the spiinters of wood were clean and
fresh. These drawers and the draw
ers in the lower part Of the desk
either were empty, or the papers in
them had been disarranged and tum-
bled in confusion, as though some one
them back. To Alan, the marks of
violence and roughness were unmis-
takably the work Of the man with the
big hands who had left marks upon
the top of the chest of drawers; and
the feeling that he had been In the
house very recently was stronger than
ever.
Alan ran out into the hall and lis
tened he heard no sound; but he went
back to the little room more excited
than before. For what had the other
man been searching? For the same
things which Alan was looking for,
And had the other man got them?
Who might the other be, and what
might be his connection with Benja-
min Corvet? Alan had no doubt that
everything Of Importance must have
been taken away, but he would make
sure of that. He took some of the pa
pers from the drawers and began to
examine them; after nearly an hour
of this, he had found only one article
which appeared connected in any way
with what Sheriff. had told him or
with Alan himself. In one of the little
drawers OF the desk he found several
books, much worn as though from
being carried In a pocket, and one OF
these contained a series Of entries
over several years. These
listed an nt-S150-opposite a Sc
ries OF dates with only the year and
the month given. and there was an
entry for every second month.
Alan felt his fingers trembling as he
turned the pages OF the little book
and found at the end OF the list a
blank. and below, 10 the same hand

CHAPTER v
An Encounter.

Alan, standing in the darkness OF
the hall, felt In his pocket for his
matches and struck one on the box
The light showed the hall In front OF
him, reaching back into some vague
distant darkness, and great rooms with
wide portiered doorways gaping on
both sides. He turned into the room
upon his right, glanced to see that the
shades were drawn on the windows
toward the street, then found the
switch and turned on the electric light.
Alan had the feeling which so often
comes to one In an unfamiliar and
vacant house that there was some one
In the house with him. He listened
and seemed to hear another sound in
the upper hall, a footstep. He went
out quickly to the foot Of the stairs
and looked up them.
lis any one here?" he called. as
any one hereY'
His voice brought no response. he
went half way up the curve of the wide
stairway and called again, and lis
tened; then he fought down the feeling
he had had; Sheriff. had said there
would be no one In the house, and
Alan was certain there was no one.
So he went back to the room where
he had left the light.
The center of this room, like the
room next to it, was occupied by
library table-desk. He pulled open
some drawers in it; one or two had
blueprints and technical drawings In
them; the others had only the miscel-
lany which accumulates In a room
much used. There were drawers also
under the bookcases all around the
room; they appeared. when Allan
opened some of them, to contain PAM
phlets Of various societies, and the
scientific correspondence Of which
Sheriff. had told him. Alan felt that
seeing these things was bringing his
father closer to him; they gave him a
little of the feeling he had been unable
to get when he looked at his fathers
picture. He could realize better now
the lonely, restless man. pursued by
some ghost he could not kill. taking
up for distraction one subject Of study
after another. exhausting each In turn
until he could no longer make II en-
gross him. and then absorbing him

LUNCHEON FOR BRIDAL PARTY

At 1890 yesterday noon the bridal
party in the Harriss-Parrott wedding
were entertained at a beautifully ap-
pointed luncheon. The suburban home
of Mr.. and Mrs. W. W. Harriss was
the scene of this pretty post-nuptial
affair. The wedding party met at
Grace Episcopal church at 11:30 for
rehearsal, after which the entire party
went to the Harriss home, where a de-
licious fve-course luncheon was serv-
ed.
The long living room was beautiful
ly decorated, southern smilax and as
paragus fern being used for the win
doWs, mantle, pictures, etc. Pink car
nations were used in quantities in
vases and bowls throughout the room.
Luncheon was served in this room on
three card tables. These were cover
ed with exquisite linen luncheon
cloths. The place cards were quite ap-
propriate, being miniature brides and
bridegrooms. In the center of each
table was a bud vase containing four
carnations.
The color scheme, in the dining room,
where luncheon was also served, was
in yellow. Yellow bignonia was used
in quantities and effectively as the
decorating flower and on the table tall
yellow candles in silver candlesticks
gave pretty soft light. The place
cards and appointments in this room
were similar to those in the living
room.
The wedding party, guests at the
Harriss home and members of the i'm
mediate families were the only guests
at this beautifully appointed luncheon.
