All the way back to the hotel Sally

only few miles away at that very
moment. Oh, where was he? Had he
recognized her? Had he been looking
for her? The questions raced through

Memory, If Alan could call It 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 rinality
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 Sherrill-and his fathers
Offices. He had accepted Constance
Sherrill's invitation TO drive him
downtown to his destination.
Observing the towering buildings to
his right, he was able to identify some
Of the more prominent structures, fa-
miliar from photographs Of the city.

Sheriff. got up. Alan arose Il little
unsteadily. The list of properties he
had read and the letter and Sherrilrs
statement portended so much that Its
meaning could not all come TO him at
once. He followed Sheriff. through
short private corridor. fianked with
files lettered "Corvet, Sheriff.. and
Spearman." into the large room he had
seen when he came In with Constance.
They crossed this, and Sheriff., with.
out knocking. opened the door of the
office marked. "Mr. Spearman." Alan,
looking Oh past Sheriff. as the door
opened, saw that there were some half
dozen men in the room, smoking and
talking. His gaze went swiftly on past
these men to the one who, half seated
on the top of the fiat desk. had been
talking to them: and his pulse closed
upon his heart with n shock; he start

swiftly forced himself under control.

shoulder; his other hand was still on
Alan's arm.

know my partner, Mr.. Spearman."
Spearman nodded an acknowlcdg.
ment, but did not put out his hand;
his eyes-steady. bold, watchful eyes
seemed measuring Alan attentively;
and in return Alan. with his gaze, was
measuring him.

CHAPTER VII.
Mr.. Corvet's Partner,

The instant Of meeting, when Alan
recognized In Sherrill's partner, the
man with whom he had fought In Cor
vets house, was one of swift reudjust-
ment of all his Observation-Disclosures
to a situation of which he could not
even have dreamed. and which left
him breathless. But for Spearman,
obviously, it was not that. Following
his noncommittal nod of acknowledge
ment of Sherrill's introduction and his
first steady scrutiny of Alan, the big,
handsome man swung himself of from
the desk on which he sat and leaned
against it, facing them more directly.
"Oh, yes-Conrad," he said. His
tone was hearty; In 1t Alan could rec
ognize only so much of reserve as
might be expected from Sherrill's
partner who had taken an attitude Of
opposition. The shipmasters, looking

down this boulevard: then, with
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 Spearnan. 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-windowed
room, where Sheriff. was sitting alone
before a 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.

CHAPTER V.-Continued.

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 1t safely for half an
hour, particularly If he left a light
burning within.
He did this and stepped over to the
Sherrills'. The man who answered his
ring recognized him at once and ad-
ton, 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; a mo-
tor had just driven up to the house.
1t proved to have brought Constance
informing Alan that Mr.. Sheriff. might
not return until some time later, went
upstairs and did not appear again.
