BEGIN HERE IollAN
 Strangely sent to Resurrection Rock by communication from the spirit Of PHILIP CAREW. an American officer
 killed in France,
 BARNEY LoUTRELLE arrives in
 northern Michigan and proceeds to
 the spot in Lake Huron where he
 learns the island is located. There
 he meets
 ETHEL CAREW, daughter Of the
 slain officer, who is going to visit
 her grandfather,
 LUCAS CULLEN, SENIOR, the grim
 and hardy old man who struggled
 successfully in days of violence for
 millions worth of timber, Lou
 trelle learns that Resurrection Rock
 is an island of mystery, the symbol
 Of a great wrong in the past and
 that on 1t has been erected house
 never occupied. In some way he
 feels that his own mysterious life,
 his obscure parentage, his life as
 white child reared by Indians, is
 linked with Resurrection Rock and
 with Ethel.
 GO ON WITH THE STORY
 The sun. only little lower to the west was glaring down upon the snow, and as the road reached the top of ridge the smooth ice-sheet over Lake Huron came into view.
 The western rise of the rock, upon which the sun was shining, seemed sheer and towering; only about the base, where the lake had tossed up heaps and hummocks of ice, and upon the top had snow gathered.
 Resurrection Rock" Ethel said. gazing at it with no need to point as they stood upon the top of the ridge.
 Loutrelle nodded. his eyes narrow ing a little as he tried to see it bet ter through the glare.
 Why's the house there?" he de- manded. He had asked this before but not with the present amazement.
 "Of course it's quite different in summer
 But you said it's never been oc- cupied, summer or winter"
 NO never"
 Except possibly" he said, glanc- ing at her and away to the house again, "by the dead"
 He spoke in queer. neutral tone, neither quite seriously nor at all lightly.
 Ethel went ahead slightly to guide the way. The Rock now was con- stantly in sight; and, glancing again and again at it, Ethel felt it domina- ting her mood.
 They entered woods again and soon heard whip cracking and the voice of a man calling to straining horses.
 That's Sam Green Sky Ethel in formed; and they came upon a white and roam team.
 Bjou, Miss Ethel" Sam hailed and waved his arm, while he set about turning his team back into the tracks they had just cleared.
 He was a younger man than Red bird, not more than thirty and fat and swarthy
 "Old man pretty well; pretty mad this morning; old lady well too" Green Sky vouchsafed genial infor- nation without urging. Somebody | come to Wheedon's yesterday; and go out to Rock. Old man want to know about it; damn mad" Ethel glanced at Loutrelle whom she found gazing at her and waiting for her to ask the question.
 The name of the man-sam?"
 MT. Bagley. That's all"
 Ethel gazed at the Rock again and felt the blood running a bit colder within her. She looked back to Lou trelle who had pulled off his glove to offer his hand.
 "B'jou, Miss Carew." he said, his eyes meeting hers "4ou've been mighty good to me"
 He turned about once and waved at her; then. proceeding more swift ly, he soon vanished in ravine. A few hundred yards further on, she, heard the distant echo of a vigorous voice singing the lively tune of an old French song of the time of Ma poleon:
 C. a Paris, a Paris {.
 An, j'y etais mosquetaire!'
 Danger! No fear for him If the danger were honest and open. She Elanced ahead and suddenly saw a lark figure, tall and broad but bent ! little, standing with back toward her on the top of the ridge-her 
 Well, my dear, you're here, are you? Where's your friend from the rain?"
 He said to thank you; he'd call ater He wanted to go first to the Rock"
 So he'll call later, eh? Now who : he? I'll know all about that fel- ow'
 Ethel pa zed into her gra ndfether's ,yes-little, blod-shot, but keen un- Ter his low, bushy, white brows. She
