Who could he be to know them all? To
what man. but one, could all of them
be known? Was old Burr Ben
jamin Corvet?
Alan telegraphed that day to Sher-
rill; but when the message had gone
doubt seized him. Benjamin COrvet,
when he went away, had tried to leave
his place and power among lakemen
to Alan; Alan, refusing to accept what
COrvet had left until Corvet's reason
should be known, had felt obliged also
to refuse friendship with the Sherrills.
When revelation came, would it make
possible Alan's acceptance of the place
Corvet had prepared for him, or would
it leave him where he was? Would 1t
bring him nearer to Constance Sher-
rill, or would it set him forever away
from her?

CHAPTER XIV.
A Ghost Ship.


Officially, and to chief extent In ac-
tuality, navigation now had "closed"
for the winter. Further up the har-
Dor, beyond Number 25, glowed the
white lanterns marking two vessels
moored and 1aid up" till spring; an
other was still in the active process of
laying up" Marine insurance, as re-
CARDS all ordinary craft, had ceased !;
and the government at sunrise, five
days before, had taken the warning
lights from the Straits of Mackinaw,
from ne-aux-G alets, from north Mani
tou, and the Fox islands; and the light
at Beaver island had but five nights
more to burn.
Having no particular duty when the
boat was in dock, old Burr had gone
toward the steamer laying up" and
now was standing watching with alb
sorption the work going on. There
was a tug a little farther along, with
steam up and black smoke pouring
from it's short funnel. Old Burr OBJ
served this boat too and moved up a
little nearer. Alan, following the
wheelsman, came opposite the stern
Of the freighter.
They're crossing" the wheelsman
said aloud, but more to himself than
to Alan. They're laying her up here"
he jerked his head toward the Slough
ton. "Then they're crossing to Mani
towoc on the tug"
ooS
cried.
Burr drew up his shoulders and
ducked his head down as a gust blew.
1t was cold, very cold indeed in that
wind, but the old man had on a macki-
nav and, out on the lake, Alan had
seen him on deck cOatless In weather
almost as cold as this.
Its a winter Storm Alan cried.
tits like 1t that way; but today's the
18th, not the 9th of Decemberl'
That's right" Burr argeed. "That's
right"
The reply was absent, as though
Alan had stumbled upon what he was
thinking and Burr had no thought yet
to wonder at it.
"And It's the Stoughton they're lay
| ing up, not the" he stopped and
stared at Burr to let him supply the
word and, when the old man did not
he repeated again-"not the"
"No," Burr agreed again, as though
the name had been given. "No."
1T was the Martha Corvet you laid
up, wasn't lit" Alan cried quickly
The Snowflake herald. [volume] (Snowflake, Ariz.) 1913-1969, 1922-09-01

Alan's questions and, If Alan persisted,
he avoided him.
On deck. one night, listening while
old Burr talked, excitement suddenly
seized Alan. Burr claimed to be an
Englishman born in Liverpool. He had
been, he said, a seaman in the British
navy; he had been present at the
Smelling Of Alexandria; later, because
of some difficulty, which he CLOSED
over, he had deserted and had come to
"the States;" he had been first deck
hand, then the mate Of tramp schoOn-
er on the lakes. Alan, gazing at the
old man, felt exultation leaping and
old Burr was rehearsing to him as his
own, was the actual life of Munro
Burkhalter, one of the men on Cor
vets list regarding whom Alan had
been able to obtain full information
Alan sped below, when he was re-
lieved from watch, and got out the
clippings left by Corvet and the notes
of what he himself had learned In his
visits to the homes Of these people.
His excitement grew greater as he
pored over them; he found that he
could account, with their aid, for all
that old Burr had told him. Old Burr'S
stories were not, Of course, true; yet
neither were they fictitious. They
their incidents, at least-were actuali-
ties. They were woven from the lives
Of those upon Corvet's list Alan felt
his skin prickling and the blood beat
ing fast in his temples. How could
Burr have known these Incidents?

CHAPTER XIV
Old Burr of the Ferry.

OIO 6UTT OF TIC cry
It was in late November and while
the coal carrier Pontiac, on which he
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
q 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 Cali 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
one Of this rame was to be found.
He questioned the oiler who had
mentioned Burr. The man had met
Burr one night In Manitowoc with
other men. and something about the
old man had impressed both his name
and image on him; he knew no more
than that At Manitowoc THE place
from which Captain StaffOrds watch
had been sent to Constance Sheriff.
and where Alan had sought for, but
had failed to find, the sender Had
Alan stumbled by chance upon the one
whom Benjamin Corvet had been un-
able to trace?
Alan could not leave the Pon*;rJs and
60 at once to Manftowoc 30 seek Burr !;
for he was needed where he was. 1t
was fully a week later and after the
Pontiac had been laden again and had
repaSsed the length Of Lake Superior
that Alan left tha vessel at Sault Ste.
Marie and took the train for Manito-
woo.
The little lake port OF Manitowoc,
which he reached in the late afternoon,
was turbulent with the lake seasons
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
way along the river bank until he
found it. ="
The proprietor knew old Jim Burr
yes. Burr was wheelsman on Car
ferry Number %. He was a lakeman,
experienced and capable; that fact,
some months before, had served as in
PRODUCTION for him to the frequenters
Of this place. When the ferry was in
harbor and his duties left him idle,
Burr came up and waited there, occu-
plying always the same chair. He
never drank; he never spoke to others
unless they spoke first to him, but
then he talked freely about old days
on the lakes, about ships which had
been lost and about men long dead.
Alan deci34d that there could be no
better place TO interview old Burr than
here; he waited therefore, and In the
early ev9fing the old man came in. He
was a slender but muscularly built man
seent1Sg about sixty-five, but he might
be considerably younger or older than
that. His hair was completely white !;
his nose was thin and sensitive; his
face was smoothly placid, emotiOnless,
contented /; his eyes were queerly cloud
ed, deepset and intent.
Those whose names Alan had found
on Corvet's list had been of all ages,
young and old; but Burr might well
have been a contemporary of Corvet

What Is a Picture Erame2

Picture frames are frequently too
ornate. The simpler they are the less
they attract attention from the pic
ture itself. They should become q
part Of the picture and not separate
picture in themselves. Color, how
ever, may be used to advantage and
any simple wooden frame may be
painted in oil paint to match some
tone Of the picture. Ordinarily this
is better than to have the frame
harmonic with the woodwork Of the
room.

Then lhat was few minutes
ago they heard the four long
again. They'd tried to pick up
the other ship with radio before.
Yes; we got that here.
Tried again and got no answer.
But they heard the blasts for half an
hour. They said they seemed
to be almost beside the ship once.
But they didn't see anything.
Then the blasts stopped sud-
den. cut off short in the middle as
though something happened. :.

Anyone else answered." Alan
asked.
"Shore stations on both Sides"
"Do they know what ship it isl"
mo" -
"What ship might be there nowY
The officer could not answer that.
He had known where the Richardson
must be; he knew of no other likely
to be there at this season. The spray
from the waves had frozen upon Alan;
ice cleaned and glinted from the rail
and from the deck. Alan'S shoulders
drew up In spasm. The Richardson,
they said, was looking for boats; how
long could men live in little boats ex-
posed to that gale and cold?

the radio cabin; the glow from within
showed him faces as gray as his; 1t
lighted face on the opposite side of
the door-a face haggard with dread
full fright. Old Burr jerked about as
Alan spoke to him and moved away
alone; Alan followed him and seized
his arm.
whats the matter" Alan demand
ed, holding to him.
1.-THE four blasts!" the wheelsman
repeated. "They heard the four
blasts!" He iterated it once more.
YES" Alan urged "Why not?
"But where no ship ought to be; so
they couldn't find the ship-they
couldn't find the ship" Terror, of
awful abjectness, came over the old
man. He freed himself from Alan and
went forward.
Alan went aft to the car deck. The
roar and echoing tumult Of the ice
against the hull here drowned all 9TH
er sounds. The thirty-twO freight
cars, In their four long lines, stood
wedged and chained and blocked in
place; they tipped and tilted, rolled
and swayed like the stanchions and
sides of the, ship, fixed and secure.
Jacks on the steel deck under the
edges of the cars, kept them from
rocking on their trucks. Men paced
watchfulIy between the tracks, Observ-
ing the movement of the cars. The
cars creaked and groaned, as they
worked little this way and that; the
men sprang with sledges and drove the
blocks tight again or took an addi-
tional turn upon the jacks.
Alan saw old Burr who, on his way
to the wheelhOuse, had halted to lis
ten. For several minutes the old man
stood motionless; he came on again
and stopped to listen.
"You hear 'em?" Burr's voice qua
vered in Alan's ear. "You hear emp

Body Five Months
in River
Near Charlson, N. D.
Special to The Tribune.

DPScAoi " LUG 1iiUuAS.
Williston, July 1.-THE body Of
William H~afenback, who was believed
to have fallen into the Missouri river
through an air hole in the ice Janu-
airy %. was found on a sand bar in
the river about four miles below the
point where the accident was sup
posed to have occurred.
Hafenback was unmarried, 81 years
of age, and lived alone on his home
stead near the river on the Mckenzie
county side a few miles northwest of
Charlson. He was last seen alive on
the morning Of January % by two of
his neighbors and later the same day
his horses were seen between the
house and the river. hitched to a stone
boat on which he customarily hauled
water. A search resulted in the find
ing of his cap and mittens near an air
hole and this led to the belief that he
had fallen into the river while dipping
water and that his body had been
swept under the ice by the strong cur
rent.
The body, though badly decomposed.
was identified by his two brothers and
several neighbors. and the coroner de-
cided that no inquest was necessary.
as his death had beyond all question
been accidental.
