Il received short note from him.
ent. 1t told me he had sent for you
Alan Conrad, Of Blue Rapids, Kansas
but spoke of you as though you were
some one ought to have known about.
and commended you to my care. The
remainder of 1t was merely an agitat-
ed, almost indecipherable farewell to
nae. When l opened the envelope, a
key had fallen out. The note made
no reference to the key, but, compar-
ing 1t with one l had In my pocket, l
saw that 1t appeared to be key to
safety deposit box in the vaults of a
company where we both had boxes.
"The note, taken in connection with
my daughters alarm about him, made
1t SO plain that something serious had
happened to COrvet, that my first
thought was merely for him. Corvet
was not a man with whom one could
readily connect the thought Of suicide
but, Alan, that was the idea had. I
hurried at once to his house. but the
bell was not answered, and could not
get in. His servant. Wassaquam, has
very few friends. and the few times he
has been away from home of recent
years have been when he visited an
acquaintance of his-the head porter
in South Side hotel. went to the
telephone in the house next door and
called the hotel and found Wassaquam
there. 1 told him over the telephone
only that something was wrong, and
hurried to my own home to get the
key, which had, to the Corvet house;
but when / came back and let myself
into the house, 1 found it empty and
with no sign Of anything having hap
pened.
1.-The next morning, Alan, went to
the safe deposit vaults as soon as they
were open. l presented the numbered
key and was told that 1t belonged to a
box rented by Corvet, and that Corvet
had arranged about three days before
for me to have access to the box If
presented the key. 1 had only to sign
my name in their book and open the
box. In 1t, Alan, found the pictures
Of you which l showed you yesterday
and the very strange communications
that l am going to show you now."
Sheriff. opened the long envelope,
from which several thin, folded papers
fell. He picked up the largest Of these,
which consisted of several sheets
fastened together with clip, and
handed 1t to Alan without comment

pages, saw that 1t contained two col.

Observing the towering buildings to

OF the more prominent structures, fa-
miliar from photographs of the city.
Constance drove swiftly a few blocks
down this boulevard; then, with "A
sudden, Here we are !" she shot the
car to the curb and stopped. She led
Alan into one of the tallest and best
looking buildings.
On several of the doors opening upon
the wide marble hall where the eleva-
tor left them, Alan saw the names,
"Corvet, Sheriff. and Spearman."
Constance led the way on past to
door farther down the corridor. which
bore merely the name, Lawrence
Sheriff.; evidently Sheriff., who had
interests aside from the shipping busi-
ness. had offices connected with but
not actually a part of the offices of
Corvet, Sheriff. and Spearman. A girl
on guard at the door, saying that Mr.
Sheriff. had been awaiting Mr.. Con-
rad, opened an inner door and led
Alan Into a large. many-whdowed
room, where Sheriff. was sitting alone
before table-desk. He pulled the
visitors chair" rather close to his
desk and to his own big leather chair
before asking Alan to seat himself.
"You wanted to tell me, or ask me,
something last night, my daughter has
told me-" Sheriff. said cordially. I'm
sorry l wasn't home when you came
back"
II wanted to ask you, Mr.. Sheriff."
Alan said, "about those facts in re-
gard to Mr.. Corvet which you men,
toned to me yesterday but did not ex-
plain. You said 1t would not aid me to
know them but found certain things
in Mr.. Corvets house last night which

CHAPTER vi.
The Deed in Trust.

Memory, If Alan could call 1t that,
had given him feeling for ships and
for the lake. But these recollections
were only what those Of a three-years'
child might have been. Not only did
they refuse to connect themselves with
anything else, but by the very fnality
of their isolation, they warned him
that they-and perhaps few more
vague memories Of similar sort-were
all that recollection ever would give
him. He caught himself together and
turned his thoughts to the approach
ing visit to Shorthand his fathers
offices. He had accepted Constance

waka." What was that? The queer
excitement and questioning that the
name brought, when he repeated II
to himself, was not recollection; for
he could not recall ever having heard
the name before; hut 1t was not com
pletely strange to him. He could de
fine the excitement it stirred only in
that way.
Sheriff. had believed that here in
this house Benjamin Corvet had left
or might have left-a memorandum. II
record, or an account of some sort
which would explain to Alan. his son.
the blight which hung over his life.
Sheriff. had said that it could have
been no mere intrigue. no vulgar per.
sonal sin; and the events of the nifsht
had made that very certain; for. plain
ly, whatever was hidden in that house
involved some one else seriously, dcs-
perately. There was no other way to
explain the intrusion of the sort of
uaaD ~hnnD \laD had surprised shore
an hour ago.
The fact that this other man
searched also did not prove that Ben
jamin Corvet had left a record In the
house, as Sheriff. believed; but ii
certainly showed that another person
believed-or feared-it. Whether or
not guilt had sent Benjamin Corvet
away four days ago; whether or not
there had been guilt behind the ghost
which had got Ben" there was guilt
In the big mans superstitious terror
when he had seen Alan. A bold, pow
erful man like that one, when his con-
science is clear. does not see ghost.
And the ghost which he had seen had
bullet hole above the brows!
Alan took up his hat and looked
about the house; he was going to re-
turn and sleep here, of course he was
not going to leave the house unguard-
ed for any long time after this, but.
after what had just happened, he felt
he could leave it safely for half an
hour, particularly If he left light
burning within.
He did this and stepped over to the
Sherrills'. The man who answered his
ring recognized him at once and ad-
mitted him; in reply to Alan's ques.
tion, the servant said that Mr.. Sheriff.
had not yet returned. When Alan
went to his room, the valet appeared
and. finding that Alan was packing,
the man offered his service. Alan let
him pack and went downstairs; mo-
tor had just driven up to the house.
