Alan telegraphed that day to Sher-

doubt seized him. Benjamin Corvet,
when he went away, had tried to leave
his place and power among lakemen

Coryet had left until Corvet's reason
should be known, had felt obliged also
to refuse friendship with the Sherrills.

Alan 8 questions and, II Alan persisted,
he avoided him.
On deck, one night, listening while
old Burr talked, excitement suddenly
seized Alan. Burr claimed to be an
EngIishman born In Liverpool. He had
been, he said, q seaman. In the British
navy; he had been present at the
Smelling Of Alexandria; later, because
Of some difficulty, which he CLOSED
over he had deserted and had come to
'the States;" he had been first a deck
hand then the mate of a tramp schopn-
er on the lakes. Alan, gazing at the
old man, felt exultation leaping and
throbblng within him. This life which
old Burr was rehearsing to him as his
own, was the actual life Of Munro
Burkhalter, one Of the men on Cor
vets list regarding whom Alan had
been uble to obtain full informationI
Alan sped below, when he was re-
lteved from watch, and got out the
clippings left by Corvet and the notes
of what he himself had learned in, his
visits to the homes Of these people.
His excitement grew greater as he
pored over them; he found that. he
could account, with their aid, for all
that old Burr had told him. Old Burr's
stories were not, Of course, true; vet
neither were they fictitious. They
their incidents, at least-were actuali-
ties They were woven from the lives

Having no particular duty when the

from its short funnel. Old. Burr OBJ

CHAPTER XIV
Old Burr of the Ferry,

VII 0AIu VI SUS 0tIys
1t was In late November and while
the coal carrier Pontiac, on which he
was serving as lookout, was In Lake
Superior that Alan first heard of Jim
Burr. The name spoken among some
other names in casual conversation by
member of the crew, stirred and ex.
cited him; the name james Burr, oc-
curing on Benjamin Corvet's list, had
borne opposite 1t the legend "All dis
appeared; no trace" and Alan, whose
investigations had accounted for all
others whom the list contained, had
been able regarding Burr only to verify
the fact that at the address given no
one of this name was to be found.
He questioned the oiler who had
mentioned Burr. The man had met
Burr one night In Manitowoc with
other men, and something about the
old man had impressed both his name
and image on him; he knew no more
than that. AT ManitOwoc the place
from which Captain Staffords watch
had been sent to Constance Sheriff.
and where Alan had sought for, but
had failed to find, the sender! Had
Alan stumbled by chance upon the one
whom Benjamin Corvet had been I'M
able to trace?
Alan could not leave the Pontiac and
go ut once to Manitowoc to seek Burr !;
for he was needed where he was. It
was fully week later and after the
Pontiac had been laden again and had
repassed the length Of Lake Superior
that Alan left the vessel ut Suult Ste.
Marie and took the train for Manito-
voc.
The little lake port of Manitowoc,
which he reached in the late afternoon,
was turbulent with the lake seasons
approaching close. Alan inquired for
the seamenv drinking place, where his
Informant had met Jim Burr; following
the directors he received he made his
way along the river bank until he
sound 1t.
The propri ttor knew old Jim Burr
yes. Burr was wheelsman on Car
ferry Number IS. He was lakeman,
experienced and capable; that fact,
some months before, had served as in
PRODUCTION for him to the frequenters
of this place. When the ferry was in
harbor and his duties left him idle,
Burr came up and waited there, occu-
pying always the same chair. He
never drank he never spoke to others
unless they spoke first to him, but
then he talked freely about old days
on the lakes, about ships which had
been lost and about men long dead.
Alan decided that there could be no
better place to interview old Burr than
here; he waited therefore, and in the
early evening the old man came In. He
sas slender but muscularly built man
seeming about siXty-f1ve. but he might
be considerably younger or older than
that. His hair was completely white ;
his nose was thin and sensitive; his
face was smoothly placid, emotionless,
contented; his eyes were queerly cloud
ed, deepset and intent.
Those whose names Alan had found
on Corvet's list had been of all ages,
young and old; but Burr might we'll
have been a contemporary of Corvet

These stretched aft, behind the

score on each side of the ship; they
had accommodations for almost a hum

only a few were occupied. Alan had

MARRY "FOR KEEPS"

IF YOU have a capital of thousand
= dollars, and only a thousand dol
lars, you are likely to be a little par
ticular about investing it.
Yet you invest your capital of hap
piness, which is all you have, and all
you ever will have, on the first pretty
face you happen to see.
The average youth devotes more
care to the selection Of a suit of
clothes than he does to the selection
Of wife.
When his marriage turns out unhap-
PLY, he wonders why he happened to
have hard luck, or cynically observes
that you never can trust a woman.
About 80 per cent Of the labor and
expense Of the divorce courts could
be avoided IL young men and women
would expend a little serious thought
about the most serious business Of
their lives, which is getting married.
Neither men nor women can so
skillfully disguise their true natures
as to deceive anybody who Is really
In earnest about investing his capital
Of happiness where it will pay divi-
dends for all time.
Nobody ever falls so head-over-
ears-in-love at first sight that he hasn't
time to think over the seriousness of
picking a wife before he sends for
the best man and engages the minis

There is no source Of unhappiness
In the world so prolific as marriage,
chiefly because nobody ever appears
to think that 1t should be entered In
any way save by accident.

THE REASON WHY

TN EVERYDAY contact with such
= lens as regularly come up for
solution in the home or the Office,
adopt a process Of reasoning them out
In your own way.
You will find if you steadfastly per-
siSt in such a course that you will
soon reach a higher stage of think
ing, necessary always to higher state
of efficiency.
Accepting some ones say-so with
out giving serious thought TO the
answer or inquiring as TO the reason
why, is an unwise thing TO do.
In spite of whatever innate clever
ness you may have, if this dependence
or some one else is continued, there
will never come TO you an opportunity
to show this ability.
You will form the harmful habit
of leaning on others instead Of stand
ing alone in your own strength and
trusting unreservedly in self.
Those upon whom you rely for ad-
vice will keep ahead of you just as
long as you court their company and
assistance.
BY pursuing such a course you ad-
NIT incompetence and lack of force,
which disqualify you for leadership
