 Better care of Constance Sherrin (Miss)." There followed the oher- rills' address upon the Drive. And to this was another correction:
 "Not after June 12; then to Harbor Springs, Mich. Ask some one of that 1; be sure the date; after June 12."
 Constance, trembling, >unrolled the scarf; now coins showed from fold, next a pocketknife, ruined and rusty, next a watch-a mans large gold watch with the case Queerly pitted and worn completely through in places, and last a plain little band of gold of the size for a woman's finger-a we'd ding ring. Constance, gasping and with fingers shaking so from excite ment that she could scarcely hold these objects, picked them up and ex- amined them-the ring first.
 It very evidently was, as she had immediately thought, a wedding ring once fitted for finger only trifle less slender than her own. One side of the gold band was very much worn. not with the sort of wear which a ring gets on hand, but by some diff ferent sort of abrasion. The other side of the band was roughened and pitted but not so much worn; the in- side still bore the traces of an in- scription. "As long as we bo :. all alive" Constance could read, and the date, "June 2, 1So1." .@...
 It was in January, 1896, Constance remembered, that Alan Conrad had been brought to the people in Kansas i; he then was about three years old." If this wedding ring was his mothers, the date would be about right; 1t was a date probably something more than a year before Alan was born. Con- stance put down the ring and picked up the watch. It was like Uncle Ben ny's watch-or like one of his watches. He had several. she knew, presented to him at various times-watches all most always were the testimonials given to seamen for acts of sacrifice and bravery. The spring which op- erated the cover would not work, but Constance forced the cover open.
 There, inside the cover as she had thought 1t would be, was engraved

 Constance left the watch open and, Bhivering a little, she gently laid 1t. down upon her bed. The pocketknife' had no distinguishing mark of any sort. The coins were abraded and pit 6ed disks-a silver dollar, a half dol lar and three quarters, not so much abraded, three nickels, and two pen nies-
