 For some reason it always makes wife happy when some mutt asks if her husband isn't her father.
 From the hospitable pages of the New York University Medley comes the following hullseye of >mirth for the week:
 "Mr. Smith, is your son a member of any secret fraternities."
 'He thinks he is, but he talks in his sleep"
 People never kick about the length of the sermon if the preacher is say ing something worth hearing.

friendly. "After he had written you

Alan gazed at her dizZily. Benja-

mad disappeared; h. had gone. Did
any one else, then, know about Alan
Conrad?
"No one has seen Mr.. Corvet," she
said, "since the day he wrote to

so disturbed after doing that-writing

other lines; and Corvet and those
allied with him swiftly grew rich. But
in all this great development, for
which Corvet's genius and ability had
laid the foundation, Corvet himself
ceased to take active part. He took
into partnership, about q year later,
Henry Spearman, young man who
had been merely a mate on one OF his
ships. This proved subsequently to
have been a good business move, for
Spearman had tremendous energy,
daring, and enterprise; and no doubt
Corvet had recognized these qualities
In him before others did. Since then
he has been ostensibly and publicly
the head Of the concern, but he has
left the management almost entirely
to Spearman. The personal change
to Corvet at that time is harder for
me to describe to you"

SYNOPSIS

CHAPTER I.-Wealthy and highly
placed in the Chicago business world,
Benjamin Corvet is something OF re-
cluse and a mystery to his associates.
After a stormy interview with his part
ner, Henry Spearman, .Corvet seeks Con-
stance Sheriff., daughter Of his other
secures from her promise not to marry
Spearman. He then disappears. Sherrill
learns Corvet has written to certain
Alan Conrad, In Blue Rapids. Kansas,
and exhibited strange agitation over the
matter.
Alan put his hand over the letter
In his pocket. "I've come to see Mr..
Corvet," he said-"Mr. Benjamin
Corvet."
"What is your name?'
Alan gave his name; the man re-
peated it after him, in the manner Of
q trained servant, quite without In
fection. Alan, not familiar with such
tones, waited uncertainty. So far as
he could tell, the name was entirely
strange to the servant, awakening
neither welcome nor opposition, but
Indifference. The man stepped back,
but not In such q manner as to invite
Alan in; on the contrary, he half
closed the door as he stepped back,
leaving 1t open only an inch or two ;
but 1t was enough so that Alan heard
him say to some one within:
"He says he's him."
"Ask him in; will speak to him" !"
It was girls voice-this second one,
q voice such as Alan never had heard
before. 1t was low and soft but quite
clear and distinct, with youthful, i'm
pulsive modulations and the manner
Of accent which Alan knew must go
with the sort Of people who lived in
houses like those on this street.
The servant, obeying the voice, re-
turned and opened wide the door.
"Will you come in, sirY'
Alan put down his suitcase on the
stone porch; the man made no move
to pick it up and bring 1t in. Then
Alan stepped into the hall face to face
with the girl who had come from the
big room on the right.
She was quite young girl-not
over twenty-one or twenty-five, Alan
judged; like girls brought up In
wealthy families, she seemed to Alan
to have gained young womanhood in
far greater degree in some respects

than the girls he knew. while. at the
same time, in other ways, she retained
more than they some characteristics
Of child. Her slender figure had
woman's assurance and grace; her
soft brown hair was dressed like q
woman's; her gray eyes had the open
directness of the girl. Her face
smoothly oval, with straight brows
and skin so delicate that at the
temples the veins showed dimly blue
was at once womanly and youthful:
and there was something altogether
likable and simple about her, as she
studied Alan now. She was slightly
pale, he noticed. and there were lines
Of strain and trouble about her eyes.

nounced. Her tone implied quite evil
IDENTIFY that she expected him to have
some knowledge of her, and she seemed
surprised to see that her name did not
mean more to him.
"Mr. Corvet Is not here this morn
ing" she said.
He hesitated, but persisted: II was
to see him here today, Miss Shereili.
He wrote me, and telegraphed him |
would be here to-day"

your telegram. Mr.. Corvet was not
here when It came, SO my father

'Mr. Corvet went away very sud-
denly. she explained. She zeemsd he
