 Alan could not leave the Pontiac and go at once to Manitowoc to seek Burr for he was needed where he was It was fully a week later and after the Pontiac had been laden again and had repassed the length of Lake Superior that Alan left the vessel at Sault Ste. Marie and took the train for Manito- woe.
 The little lake port of Manitowoc. which he reached in the late afternoon, was turbulent with the lake season's approaching close. Alan inquired for the seamen's drinking place, where his informant had met Jim Burr following the directions he received he made his

partner and former benefactor, when Uncle Benny was still keeping his place among men. Was Henry now moved, in a way which she could not understand, by some other obligation to the man who long ago had aided him? Had Henry hazarded more than he had told her of the nature of the thing hidden which, if she could guess it, would justify what he said7
 She had made Alan promise to write her, if he was not to return, regarding what he learned; and letter came to her on the fourth day from him in Manitowoc The post office employees had no recollection, he said, of the person who had mailed the package; it simply had been dropped by some one into the receptacle for mailing packages of that sort. Alan, however, was continuing his inquiries.
 She wrote to him In reply; in lack of anything more important to tell and inquired about his. After she had written him thus twice, he replied, de scribing his life on the boats pleasant ly and humorously; then, though she immediately replied, she did not hear from him again.
 A new idea had seized Constance. Captain Caleb Stafford was named among the lost, of course; with him had perished his son, boy of three. That was all that was said, and all that was to be learned of him, the boy.
 Alan had been three then. This was wild, crazy speculation. The ship was lost with all hands; only the Drum, believed in by the superstitious and the most ignorant, denied that. The Drum said that one soul had been saved. How could a child of three have been saved when strong men, to the last one, had perished? And, if he had been saved, he was Stafford's son. Why should Uncle Benny have sent him away and cared for him and then sent for him and, himself disappear ing, leave all he had to-Stafford's son?
 Or was he Stafford's son2 Her thought went back to the things which had been sent-the things from B mans pockets with a wedding ring among them. She had believed that the ring cleared the mothers name might 1t in reality only more involve it? Why had 1t come back like this to the man by whom, perhaps, it had been given? Henry's words came again and again to Constance: "It's a queer con- cern you've got for Ben. Leave 1t alone, I tell you!" He knew then something about Uncle Benny which might have brought on some terrible thing which Henry did not know but might guess2 Constance went weak within. Uncle Benny's wife had left him, she remembered. Was it better, after all, to "leave it aloneT'

There was no reason for her thinking that the mes sage might be from Alan except his presence fin her thoughts, but she went at once to the telephone and called her father.

Old Burr of the Ferry.
 It was in late November and while the coal carrier Pontiac, on which h. was serving as lookout, was in Lake Superior that Alan first heard of Jim Burr. The name spoken among some other names in casual conversation by a member of the crew, stirred and ex- cited him; the name James Burr, oc- curing on Benjamin Corvet's list, had borne opposite it the legend "All dis appeared; no trace" and Alan, whose investigations had accounted for all others whom the list contained, had been able regarding Burr only to verify the fact that at the address given no

 She hung up the receiver. Had Alan found Uncle Benny? He had found, apparently, some one whose resem- blance to the picture she had showed him was marked enough to make him believe that person might be Benjamin Corvet; or he had heard of some one who, from the account he had received, he thought might be. She read again the words of the telegram "even if greatly changed!" and she felt star ting and terrifying warning in that phrase.

Some Aspects Of the
Farmers Problems
Reprinted from Atlantic Monthly
By BERNARD NJ. BARUCH

OF their inability to meet mortgages or
to pay current bills, and how, seeking
relief from their ills, they are plan
ming to form pools. inaugurate farm
ers' strikes, and demand legislation
abolishing grain exchanges, private
cattle markets, and the like, we ought
not hastily to brand them as economic
heretics and highwaymen, and huri at
them the charge of being seekers of
special privilege Rather, we should
ask If their trouble is not ours, and
see what can be done TO improve the
situation. Purely from self-.ntereSt,
if for no higher motive, we should
help them. All of us want to get back
permanently to "normalcy;" but is 1t
reasonable to hope for that condition
unless our greatest and most basic in
duStry can be put on sound and solid
permanent foundation? The farmers
are not entitled to special privileges
but are they not right in demanding
that they be placed on an equal foot
ing with the buyers of their products
and Wiz. other industries?
