What Sheriff. had told Alan Of his
and again In Aian's thoughts; now he
recalled that Sheriff. had said that his
daughter believed that Corvet's dis
appearance had had something to do
with her. Alan had wondered at the
moment how that could be; and as he
watched her across the table and now
and thea exchanged a comment with
her, IL puzzled him still more. He
had opportunity to ask her when she
waited with him in the library, after
dinner was finished and her mother
had gone upstairs but he did not see
then how to go about it. ~

we can't be home tonight; but perhaps
you would rather be alone?"
He did not answer that.
<Have you a picture here, Miss Sher-
rtIl, of-Iny 'father?" he asked
"Uncte Benny had had very few pic
lures taken but there is one here"
SHE went into the study and came
back with a book open at half-tone
picture of Benjamin COrvet. Alan took
1t from her and carried it quickly
closer TO the light The face that
looked up to him from the heavily
glazed page was regular of feature,
handsome in way, and forceful.
There were imagination and vigor of

rather kindly; it was a queerly im-
peiling. haunting face. This was his
father! But, as Alan held the picture,
gazing down upon it, the only emotion
which came to him was realization that
he felt none. He had no emotion of
any sort he could not attach to this
nan. because he bore the name which
some one had told him was his IA
theirs. the passions which, when
dreaming of his father, he had felt.
Alan stood still moment longer,
then. remembering the book which he
held. he drew a chair up to the light,

people as the Sherrills? No one as

when they did, what would they call
him? Alan Conrad still? Or Alan
COrvet?
He noticed, up a street to the west,

he had recollected now, to write to

little vending machine upon the coun-
ter, and he dropped in penny and got
a box of matches and put them in his
pocket.
He mailed the card and turned back
to Aston street; and he walked more
swiftly now, having come to his deci-
sion, and only shot one quick look up
at the house as he approached it, With
what had his father shut himself up
within that house for twenty years?
And was 1t there still? And was it
from that that Benjamin Corvet had

and was certain no one was observing
him as, taking the key from his pocket,
he ran up the steps and unlocked the
outer door. Holding this door open
to get the light from the street lamp,
he fitted the key into the inner door;
then he closed the outer door. For full
ly a minute, with fast-beating heart
and a sense of expectation of he knew
not what, he kept his hand upon the
key before he turned it; then he
opened the door and stepped into the
dark and silent house.

under the top to force 1t up. The
upper part of the desk, as he swiftly
opened them, he found entirely empty.
He hurried to the cabinet; the draw
ers of the cabinet too had been forced,
and very recently; for the scars and
the splinters of wood were clean and
fresh. These drawers and the draw
ers in the lower part of the desk
either were empty, or the papers in
them had been disarranged and tum-
bled in confusion, as though some one
had examined them hastily and tossed
them back. To Alan. the marks Of
violence and roughness were unmis-
takably the work of the man with the
big hands who had left marks upon
the top Of the chest of drawers; and
the feeling that he had been in the
house very recently was stronger than
ever.
Alan ran out into the hall and lis
tened; he heard no sound but he went
back to the little room more excited
than before. For what had the other
man been searching? For the same
things which Alan was looking for?
And had the other man got them?
Who might the other be, and what
might be his connection with Benia-
min Corvet? Alan had no doubt that
everything Of Importance must have
been taken away, but he would make
Of bof 10 Of h-
pers from the drawers and began to
examine them; after nearly an hour
of this, he had found only one article
which appeared connected in any way
with what Sheriff. had told him or
with Alan himself. In one of the little
drawers of the desk he found several
books, much worn as though from
being carried in pocket, and one of
these contained a series of entries
stretching over several years. These
listed an unt-S150-Opposite a Sc

Alan felt his fingers trembling as he
turned the pages of the little book
and found at the end of the list a
blank, and below, in the same hand
but in writing which had changed
slightly with the passage of years, an
other date and the confirming entry Of
1000. Alan looked through the little
hook again and put it in his pocket.
1t was, beyond doubt his fathers
memorandum of the sums sent to Blue
Rapids for Alan; it told him that here
he had been in his fathers thoughts.
He grew warm at the thought as he
began putting the other things back
into the drawers.

Some one-it was beyond question
now, for the realization was quite diff

This proof that some one had been

CHAPTER v
An Encounter.

Alan, standing in the darkness Of
the hall, felt In his pocket for his
matches and struck one on the box.
The light showed the hall in front of
him, reaching back into some vague
distant darkness, and great rooms with
wide portiered doorways gaping on
both sides. He turned into the room
upon his right, glanced to see that the
shades were drawn on the windows
toward the street, then found the
switch and turned on the electric light.
Alan had the feeling which so often
comes to one in an unfamiliar and
vacant house that there was some one
In the house with him. He listened
and seemed to hear another sound in
the upper hall, footstep. He went
out quickly to the foot of the stairs
and looked up them.
as any one here" he called. as
any one hereT
His voice brought no response He
went half way up the curve of the wide
stairway and called again, and lis
tened; then he fought down the feeling
he had had; Sheriff. had said there
would be no one in the house, and
Alan was certain there was no one.
SO he went back to the room where
he had left the light.
The center of this room, like the
room next to it, was occupied by a
library table-desk He pulled open

blueprints and technical drawings in

lany which accumuateS in room
much used. There were drawers also
under the bookcases all around the
room: they appeared, when Allan
phlets of various societies. and the
scientific correspondence of which
Sheriff. had told him. Alan felt that
seeing these things was bringing his
father closer to him: they gave him
little of the feeling he had been unable
20 get when he looked at his fathers
picture. He could realize better now

some ghost he could not kill, taking
up for distraction one subject of study
after another. exhausting each in turn
until he could no longer make 1t en-
gross him. and then absorbing him
self in the next.
On the top of chest of high draw
ers in corner near the dressing
table were some papers. Alan went
over to look at them; they were invi-

plays twenty years old-the mail,
probably. of the morning when Coryets
wife had gone away, left where her
maid or she herself had laid them.
and only picked up and put back there
at the times since when the room was
busted. AS Alan touched them, he
saw that his fingers left marks in the
dust on the smooth top of the chest;
he noticed that some one else had
touched the things and made marks
of the same sort as he had made. The
freshness of these other marks star
tied him; they had been made within
day or so. They could not have
been made by Sheriff., for Alan had
noticed that Sherrilps hands were
slender and delicately formed: Cor

SHAFFER WELL
HOLDS INTEREST
in NORTH FIELD
Completion Expected at Any
Time, Drilling on Cap of
Second KOOtenai.

Special to The Tribune.
Shelby, Sept. 13.-Oil men are
eagerly watching developments in the
northern field, with the Shaffer well
on section 33-36-2w expected as a
completion at any time. The last re-
port received in Shelby. Wednesday
night was that the we'll was drilling
on the cap rock above the second Koo-
tenai, the horizon of production in the
Sunburst-Davey wells.
The drilling is proceeding with some
open hole.
The Sunburst-Zimmerman well on
section 23-35-2w is also holding the
interest of oil men as is expected as
a completion Thursday. Both wells
are looking promising:
No report was had on the Rainbow
Oil company well in section 9-35-3w,
which is regarded as near completion.
From across the international boun-
dairy comes the report that the Baallm
well is now at 1,450 feet and the Nc
Lean well at 1850 feet.
The Gladys Belle is sending its sec
ond tank of oil through the Illinois
Pipe Line. The well is holding at
about $50 barrels a day.
Despite the fact that the Illinois
Pipe Line company has been delayed
slightly, due to delay in delivery of
pipe, it expects to connect with the
Ohio Sunburst-Dave wells Thursday.
