Mr.. Golf is a believer in modern
methods of farming, and believes one
of the secrets of success is deep plow-
ing when the soil is being prepared for
plAting. With this improved farm
machinery deep breaking will be as
easy as merely skiming over the
ground, and one man can do the same
work that could be done with several
teams under old methods.

Benny, but without repeating what Uncle Benny had said to her or the promise she had made to him. Her fa- ther made light of her fears; Uncle Benny, he reminded her, often acted queerly in bad weather. Only partly reassured, she called Uncle Bennys house several more times during the morning, but still got no reply; and after luncheon she called her father again, to tell him that she had re- solved to get some one to go over to the house with her.
 Her father, to her surprise, forbade this rather sharply; his voice, she realized, was agitated and excited, and she asked him the. reason but instead of answering her. he made her repeat to him her conversation, of the after noon before with Uncle Benny, and now he questioned her closely about 1t. But when she, in her turn, tried to question him, he merely put her ofr and told her not to worry.
 In the late afternoon, as dusk was drawing into dark, she stood at the window, with one of those delusiVe hopes which come during anxiety that, because 1t was the time of day at which she had seen Uncle Benny walk ing by the lake the day before, she might see him there again, when she saw her fathers motor approaching. It was coming from the north, not from the south as it would have been if he was coming from his office or his club, and 1t had turned into the Drive from the west. She knew, therefore, that he was coming from Uncle Ben ny's house, and, as the car swerved and wheeled in, she ran out into the hall to meet him.
 He came in without taking off hat or coat; she could see that he was perturbed, greatly agitated. r "What Is 1t, fatherY" she demanded. What has happenedY'
 "I do not know, my dear" "It Is Omething-something that has happened to Uncle BennyW "I am afraid so, dear-yes. But l do not know what 1t is that has hap pened, or I would tell you" He put his arm about her and drew her into a room opening off the hall
 his study. He made her repeat again
 to him the conversation she had had
 with Uncle Benny and tell him how
 he had acted; but she saw that what
 she told him did not help him. | Then he drew her toward him. "Tell me, little daughter. You
 have been a great deal with Uncle
 Benny and have talked with him; l

 "You have had that idea for some timer" he heard from Corvet.

 "How definite?"
 Spearman's answer was not audible, but 1t more intensely agitated COrvet {; he dropped his fork and, after that, made no pretense of eating.
 The waiter, following this, caught only single words. "Sherrill'-that, of course, was the other partner. Con stance"-that was Sherrill's daughter The other names he heard were names of ships. But, as the quarrel went on, the manners of the two men changed ; Spearman, who at first had been as- sailed by Corvet, now was assailing him. Corvet sat back in his seat. while Spearman pulled at his cigar and

1 ried an English girl at Mackinac and settled down to become a trader in the i woods of the North peninsula, where
 Benjamin Cofvet was born. During his boyhood men came to the
 peninsula to cut timber; young Corvet worked with them and began building ships. Thirty-ave years ago he had been only one of the hundreds with his fortune in the fate of a single bot tom; but today in Cleveland, In Du- )luth, in Chicago, more than a score
 of great steamers under the names of
 various interdependent companies
 were owned or controlled by him and his two partners, Sherril and young
 Spearman.
 He was a quiet, gentle-mannered man. At times, however, he sutrered from fits of intense irritability, and these of late had increased In ire quency and violence. It had been no-' ticed that these outbursts occurred generally at times of storm upon the lake, but the mere threat of financial loss through the destruction of one or even more of his. ships was not now enough to cause them; 1t was believed that they were the result of some ob- scure physical reaction to the storm, and that this had grown upon him as he grew older.
 Today his irritability was so marked, his uneasiness SO much greater than anyone had seen 1t be- fore, that the attendant whom Corvet had sent, a half hour earlier, to re- serve his usual table for him In the grill-"The table by the second win dow"-had started away without dar- ing to ask whether the table was to be set for one or more. Corvet him. self had corrected the omission: "FOr two" he had shot after the man.
 The tables, at this hour, were all ,unoccupied. Corvet crossed to the one he had reserved and sat- down; he turned immediately to the window at his side and scraped on 1t little clear opening through which he could see the storm outside. Ten minutes later he looked up sharply but did not rise, as the man he had been await ing-Spearman, the younger of his two partners-came tn.
 a Spearman seated himself, his big, powerful hands clasped on the table, his gray eyes studying Corvet closely. The waiter took the order and went away.
 When he returned, the two men were obviously in bitter quarrel. Corvet's tone, low pitched but violent, sounded steadily in the room, though his words were inaudible. The waiter, as he set the food upon the table, felt relief that Corvet's outburst had fallen on other shoulders than his.
 For nearly an hour the quarrel con- tinued with intermitted truces Of si-

 She thought. "No, father"
 "No reference either to any one living in Kansas, or a town there called Blue RapidsT
 "No. father. Who Is Alan ConradT
 "I do not know, dear. I never heard the name until to-day, and Harry Spearman had never heard it. But 1t appears to be intimately connected in some way with what was troubling Uncle Benny yesterday.

To-day that name, Alan Conrad, came to me In quite another way, in a way which makes 1t certain that 1t is closely connected with what ever has happened to Uncle Benny.

 As she followed him, she caught up a wrap and pulled 1t around her. He had told the chauffeur, she realized now, to wait; but as he reached the door, he turned and stopped her.
 "I would rather you did not come with me- little daughter. do not know at all what 1t Is that has hap pened-I will let you know as soon as I find out"
 The finality in his tone stopped her from argument. As the house door and then the door of the limousine closed after him, she went back toward the window, slowly taking off the wrap. For the moment she found 1t difficult to think. Something had happened to Uncle Benny, something terrible, dreadful for those who loved him; that was plain, though only the fact and Rot it's nature was known to her or to her father, and that something was connected-intimately connected, her father had said-with a name which no one who knew Uncle Benny ever heard before, with the name of Alan Conrad of Blue Rapids, Kansas. Who was this Alan Conrad, and what could his connection be with Uncle Benny so to precipItate disaster upon himf
