Then why had not Luke mentioned Spear man? Or had Spearman not been real ly involved? Had 1t been, perhaps, only evidence of knowledge of what Corvet had done that Spearman had tried to discover and destroy?

 Alan's passion broke out suddenly. We're anything but that, Judah. found him, the first night got here and while you were away, going through my fathers things. I fought with him, and he ran away. He was the one that broke into my fathers desks; maybe you1l believe that even if no one else will"
 ~~Yes2" the Indian questioned. 'Yes7" It was plain that he not only believed but that believing gave him immense satisfaction. He took Alan's arm and led him into the smaller H. brary. He knelt before one of the draw CTS under the bookshelves-the drawer, Alan recalled, which he himself had been examining when he had found WassaQuam watching him. He drew out the drawer and dumped Its con- tents out upon the floor; he turned the drawer about then, and pulled the UOLLO1u Oub Ol It, btucdlu luc DOILOIu which he had removed appeared now another bottom and a few sheets of paper scrawled in an uneven hand and with different colored inks.
 At sight of them, Spearman, who had followed them into the room, ut tered an oath and sprang forward. The Indians small dark hand grasped Spearman's wrist, and his face twitched Itself into a fierce grin which showed how little civilization had modified in him the aboriginal passions. But Spearman did not try to force his way; instead. he drew back suddenly.
 Alan stopped and picked up the pa- pers and put them in his pocket. If the Indian had not been there, 1t would not have been so easy for him to do that, he thought

Constance Sherrill had come in a noon reception the servants told her at once that something was happening at Mr. Corvet's.. They had heard shouts and had seen a man pounding upon the door there, but they had not taken 1t upon themselves to go over there. She had told the chauffeur to wait with the motor and had run at once to the telephone and called Alan l; his attempt to put her off made her certain that what had happened was not finished but was still going on. Her anxiety and the sense of their re- sponsibility for Alan overrode at once all other thought. She told the serv- ants to call her father at the office and tell him something was wrong at MT. Corvet's; then she called her maid and hurried out to the motor.
 ITO MT. Corvet's -quickly!" she di- rected. tta
 Looking through the front doors of her car as 1t turned into Astor street, she saw young man, carrying doc tors case. run up the steps of Cor vets house. Constance recognized him as young doctor who was start ing in practice in the neighborhood. He was just being admitted as she and her maid reached the steps. Alan stood holding the door open and yet block ing entrance when she came up.
 'You must not come in!" he denied her; but she followed the doctor so that Alan could not close, the door upon her. He yielded then,- and she

 AS she approached. he had drawn back from her. ."No; this is mine!" he denied her. Mot yours or your fa- ther's. You have nothing to do with this. Didn't he try in little cowardly ways to keep you out of it? But he couldn't do that: your friendship meant too much to him; he couldn't keep away from you. But can-I can do that! You must go out of this house; you must never come i'll here again l"
 Her eyes filled, as she watched him never had she liked him so much as now.
 "I thought" he said almost wistful- ly, 'it seemed to me that, whatever he had done, 1t must have been mostly against me. His leaving everything to me seemed to mean that was the one that he had wronged, and that he was trying to make 1t up to me. But 1t isn't that; 1t can't be that It is some thing much worse than that Oh. I'm glad I haven't used much of his money Hardly any-not more than I can give backl It wasn't the money and the, house he left me that mattered; what he really left me was just this s. dishonor, shame ."
 The doorbell rang, and Alan turned to the door and threw 1t open. In the dusk the figure of the man outside was not at all recognizable; but as he en tered with heavy and deliberate steps, passing Alan without greeting and going straight to Constance, Alan saw by the light in the hall that it was Spearman-
 What's up?" Spearman asked. "They tried to get your father at the office and then me, but neither of us was there. They got me afterward, at the club. They said you'd come over here; but that must have been more than two hours ago."
 His gaze went on past her to the drawn hangings of the room to the right; and he seemed to appreciate their significance; for his face whit ened under it's tan, and an odd hush came suddenly upon him.
 "Is 1t Ben, COnnie? he whispered. Ben come back?"
 He drew the curtains partly open. The light in the library had been ex- tinguished, and the light that came from the ball swayed about the room with the movement of the curtains and gave a momentary semblance of life to the face of the man upon the couch. Spearman drew the curtains quickly together again, still holding to them and seeming for an instant to cling to them; then he shook himself together, threw the curtains wide apart, and strode into the room. He switched on the light and went directly to the couch; Alan followed him
 "He's-dead?"
 "Who is her" Alan demanded.
 Spearman seemed to satisfy himself first as to the answer to his question. "How should know who he isT' he asked. '"There used to be a wheelsman

 He turned to Constance. You're going home, Connie? Tllsee you over there. I'll come back about this after ward, Conrad
 Alan followed them to the door and closed 1t after them. He spread the blankets over Luke. Luke's coats, which Alan had removed, lay upon a chair, and he looked them over for marks of identification, A side pocket produced an old briar there was noth- ing else. Then Alan walked restless ly about, awaiting Spearman. Spear man, he believed, knew this man: Spearman had not even ventured upon modified denial until he was certain that the man was dead; and then he had answered so as not to. commit himself, pending learning from Con- stance what Luke had told.
 But Luke had said nothing about Spearman. It had been Corvet, and Corvet alone, of whom Luke had spoken; it was Corvet whom he had accused {; 1t was Corvet who had given him money. Was it conceivable, then, that there had been two such events in Corvet's life9 That one of these events concerned the Miwaka and Spearman and some one-some one with a bullet hole above the eye"- who" had "got" Corvet; and that the other event had concerned Luke and something elseH It was not conceiva- ble, Alan was surei 1t was all one

A Shabby House or a Shabby Mind

=
 Haven't you been in houses where lovely flowers stood all about, and everything was spick-and-span, but the library table was strewn with papers and magazines of the trashiest description? Is it a good thing to have the furniture of the house the best that money can buy, and, to fur nish the mind with silly and disrepu- table things in the way of reading? Better by far have a shabby house than a shabby mind. The shabby furniture can be burned or sold, but what can be done for the shabby mind?
