as Constance. uoC. as he had called
her aIways before. Miss Sheriff. or
my daughter Alan had had dreams
which had seemed impossible Of fuI-
fllment, OF defeating his Life and all
that he could make of II TO her; now
SherriH's manner had brought to him
something like awe, as Of something
quite Incredible.
He turned to the Indian.

only this, Alan; he crossed the
straits the next day upon the ferry
there. In Mackinaw City he bought
liquor at a bar and took It with him
he asked there about trains into the
northwest. He has gone. leaving all
he had. What else could he do?"
Alan crossed the little cabin and
looked out the window over the snow
covered slope. where the bright sun
was shining. Snow had covered any
tracks that there had been upon the
beach where those who had been in
the boat with him had been found
dead He had known that this must
be; he had believed them beyond aid
when he had tried for the shore TO
summon help for them and for him
self. The other boat. which had car
ried survivors OF the wreck, blown
farther to the south. had been able TO
gain the shore of North Fox island
and as these men had not been so long
exposed before they were brought to
shelter, four men lived. Sheriff. had
told him their names; they were the
mate, the assistant engineer. a deck
hand and Father Perron, the priest
who had been passenger but who had
stayed with the crew till the last. Ben
iamin Coryet had perished in the
wreckage Of the cars
As Alan went back TO his chair. the
Indian watched him and seemed not
displeased-

guam asked
Almost Ike myself. Judah"
That IS right. then 1t was thought
you would be Ike that today. A sled
is coming soon, now,'
Were going TO leave here. Judah?-
Yes, Alan
Was he going to see her, then? Ex-
citement stirred him, and he turned to
/ Wassaquam TO ask that: but suddenly
he hesitated and did not inquire.
Wassaquam brought the mackinaw
and cap which Alan had worn on Num-
Der 25; he took from the bed the new
blankets which had been furnished by
Sheriff.. They waited until a farmer
appeared driving a team hitched to a
low. wide-runnered sled. The Indian
settled Alan on the sled. and they
drove on.
They travelled south along the shore,
rounded into Little Traverse bay, and
the houses Of Harbor Point appeared
among their pines. The sled proceed

little city; even before leaving the bay
