was on Its way. I have not been able

that It Is closely connected with what

had told the chauffeur, she realized
now, to wait; but as he reached the

from argument. As the house door and

For the moment she found It difficult

that was plain, though only the fact

The recipient of the letter which

which was almost the same as the
question which Constance Sheriff. had
asked. He was, the second morning
later, waiting for the first Of the two
daily eastbound trains which stopped
mt the little Kansas town OF Blue
Rapids which he called home. As
long as he could look back into his life'
the question, who is this person they
call Alan Conrad. and what am to
