Their eyes encountered, and hers
looked away; sudden shyness, which
sent his heart leaping, had come over
her. He wanted to speak to her, TO
make some recognition to her of what
she had done, but he did not dare to
trust his voice; and she seemed to un-
derstand that. He turned to Sherrlli
instead. An engine and tender coupled
to q single car stood at the railway

It was not merely confessional
which Father Perron had taken from
the lips of the dying man. on Number

against another man as we'll and the
confession and accusation both had
been made, not only to gain forgive
ness from God, but to right terrible
wrongs. If the confession left some
things unexplained, it did not lack con-
firmation; the priest had learned
| enough to be certain that it was no
hallucination of madness. He had been
charged definitely to repeat what had
been told him to the persons he was
now going to meet; so he watched ex-

She ran to the huddied figure of the
man In mackinaw and cap; his face
was hidden partly by the position in
which he lay and partly by the drift
ing snow; but, before she swept the
snow away and turned him to her, she
knew that he was Alan.
She cried to him and, when he did
not answer she shook him to get him
awake; but she could not rouse him.
Praying in wild whispers to herself,
she opened his jacket and felt within
his clothes; he was warnl-at least he
was not frozen within + No; and there
seemed some stir Of his heart! She
tried to lift him, to carry him; then to
drag him. But she could not; he fell
from her arms into the snow again,
and she sat down. pulling him upon
her lap and clasping him to her.
She must have aid, she must get him
to some house, she must take him out
of the terrible cold; but dared she
leave him? Might Henry return. II she
went away? She arose and looked
about. Far up the shore she saw his
figure rising and falling with his flight
over the rough ice. A sound came to
her, too, the low, deep reverberation OF
the Drum beating once more along the
shore and in the woods and out upon
the lake; and it seemed to her that
Henry's figure, in the stumbling steps
of his flight, was keeping time to the
wild rhythm of that sound. And she
stopped to Alan and covered him with
her coat, before leaving him; for she
feared no longer Henry's return.

Alan trembled at the priests sign Of
confirmation. There was no shock of
surprise in this; he had suspected ever
since August, when Captain Stafford's
watch and the wedding ring had SO
strangely come to Constance, that he
might be Stafford's son. He looked at
Constance, as they followed the priest
to the motor which was waiting to
take them to the house OF old Father
Benitot, whose guest Father Perron
was; she was very quiet. What would

Perron was to make to them mean to

strain within him made him immune
to its effects.
She had realized on her way up here
what, vaguely, that strain within him
must be. Guilt-guilt Of some awful
sort connected him, and had connected
Uncle Benny, with the Miwaka-the
lost ship for which the Drum had
beaten the roll Of the dead. Guilt was
in his thought now-racking, tearing
at him. But there was something
more than that; what she had seen In

"The Miwaka! What do you mean
by that? What's that got to do with
this?" His swollen face was thrust
forward at her; there was threat
against her In his tense muscles and
his bloodshOt eyes.
She did not shrink back from him,
or move; and now he was not waiting
for her answer. Something's sound
had caught him about. Once 1t

According to one fantastic legend
Adam got so bored with Eve that he
asked God to send him 4 consolation,

send him some other distraction, and
the heavenly gift Of tobacco answered
her prayer.-Moutreal Family Herald
