first 1t sounded for only two lives it's
kept on beating, but still is beating
only for four. There were thirty-nine
on the ferry-seven passengers and
thirty-two crew. Twelve have been
saved now; so until the Drum raises
tha beats to twenty-seven there is still
a chance that someone will be saved"
Constance watched him with wonder
at the effect of what she had told.
The news of the Drum had shaken
him from his triumph over Alan and
Uncle Benny and over her. 1t had
shaken him SO that, though he re-
mained with her some minutes more.
he seemed to have forgotten the pur-
pose Of reconciliation with her which
had brough. him to the house.
She dined, or made pretence of din
ing, with her mother at seven. Her
mothers voice went on and on about
trifles, and Constance did not try to
pay attention. Her thought was fol-
lowing Henry with ever-sharpening ap-
prehensiOn. She called the Office in
mid-evening; it would be open, she
knew, for messages regarding Uncle
Benny and Alan would be expected
there. A clerk answered; no other
news had been received; she then
asked Henry's whereabouts.
"Mr. Spearman went north late this
afternoon, Miss Sheriff." the clerk
Informed her.
NORTH! WhereY
1--WE are to communicate with him
this evening 70 Grand Rapids; after
that, to PetOskey."
Constance could hear her own heart
beat. Why had Henry gone, she Won
dered; not, certainly, to aid the
search. He had gone to--hinder 1t?

Henry feared? Alan had described
the man to her; that description had
not had meaning for her before; but
now remembering that description she
could think of Henry as the only one
who could have been in that house!
Henry had fought with Alan there!
Afterwards, when Alan had been at
tackled upon the street, had Henry
anything to do with that?
Henry had lied 20 her about being
IA Duluth the night he had fought
with Alan; he had not told her the
true cause of his quarrels with Uncle
Benny; he had wished her to believe
that Uncle Benny was dead when the
wedding ring and watch came to her

S.afford's Of the Miwaka! Henry had
urged her to marry him at once. was
that because he wished the security
that her father-and she-must give
her husband when they learned the
revelation which Alan or Uncle Ben
ny might bring?
At PetOSkey she went from the traih
directly to the telegraph office. Ii
Henry was in Petoskey, they would
know at that Office where he could be
found; he would be keeping in touch
with them.
Mr.. Spearman, the operator said, had
been at the Office early in the day;
there had been no message for him;
he had left instructions that any
which came were to be forwarded 20
him through the men who, under his
direction, were patrolling the shore
for twenty miles north of Little Trav-
erse, watching for boats.
Constance crossed the frozen edges
Of the bay by sledge to Harbor

ened to terrible dread. She had not
been able before this to form any def
mite idea of how Henry could threat

imagined only vague interference and
obstruction of the search for them;
she had not foreseen that he could so

At the Point she discharged the
sledge and went on foot to the house
of the caretaker who had charge Of

Getting the keys from him, she let
herself into the house. Going to her
room, she unpacked heavy sweater
and woolen cap .and short fur coat

against use when they opened the
house sometimes out of season-and
put them on. Then she went down
and found her snowshoes. Stopping
at the telephone, she called long dis

Constance hurried westward and
then north. following the bend OF the
shore. The figure of man-One OF

upon the lake, appeared vaguely in
the dusk when she had gone about

"The steamer Number 25 rammed
proved to have been the Benton" he
told her. "The men are all from her.
They had abandoned her in the small
boats. and the Solwerk picked them
up before the ferry found her."
He was not asking her to congratu-
late him upon the relief he felt; ne
had not so far forgotten himself as
that. But it was plain to her that he
was congratulating himself; 1t had
been fear that he was feeling before
fear, she was beginning to understand.
that those on the ferry had been saved.
Horror and amazement flowed in up
on her with her realization Of this In
the man she had promised to marry.
For an instant she stared at him, all
her body tense; then, as she turned
and went out, he followed her, calling
her name. But, seeing the seamen in
the larger Office, he stopped, and she
understood he was not willing to urge
himself upon her in their presence.
''f'm willing to 60 home now, mother.
IL you wish." she said steadily.
When they had gone down to the
street and were in the car. Constance
leaned back. closing her eyes; she
feared her mother might wish to talk
with her.
Toward three o'clock. the Office
called her, but only to report that they
had heard from Mr.. Sheriff.. He had
wired that he was going on from Man
istique and would cross the straits from
st. Ignace messages from him were to
be addressed to Petoskey. There was
no other. report except that vessels
were still continuing the search for
survivors, because the Indian Drum,
which had been beating, was beating
"short," causing the superstitious to
be certain that, though some OF the
men from Number 25 were lost, some
yet survived.
Constance thrilled as she heard
that. She did not believe in the Drum /;
at least she had never thought she
had really believed in it; she had only
stirred to the idea of its being true.
But If the Drum was beating, she was
glad it was beating short. 1t was
serving, at least, to keep the lake men
more alert.
A little later, as Constance stood at
the window, gazing out at the snow
upon the lake, she drew back suddenly
out Of sight from the street, as she
saw Henry's roadster appear out OF
the storm and stop before the house.

was. The strain he was under had
not lessened, she could see; or rather,

and at the same time his power to

ed 1t to her, and she looked swiftly
down the list of nanes until she found
that Of Alan Conrad.
Her eyes filled, binding her. as she
put the paper down. and began to take
of her things. She had been clinging
determinedly In her thought to the
belief that Alan might not have been

which had sent her father north to
meet the ship, had implied plainly
that some one. whom Alan believed
might be Uncle Benny was on Number

therefore Alan must be On the ferry,

She stood by the desk. as the clerk
went out, looking through the papers

was reading was the carbon OF the

at his rooms. to Henry, who was not
