Probably the Earliest Form of Money
of Which There Is Any Real
Knowledge.

The earliest tribes did not need
money because no individual in the
tribe owned anything personally. ALI
property belonged to the tribe as a
whole and none to any one person.
Later on when the tribes met there
arose the custom of barter or trade,
the simplest form of which was the
exchange of articles possessed by one
tribe for those owned by another. For
instance, some of the Australian tribes
had rough green stone which was
valuable for making hatchets. Mem
bers of another tribe, seeing these
green stone hatchets naturally wanted
them. They had no money, as we
know it today, but they had red ochre
with which they painted their bodies.
Thus it developed that the tribe own
ing the green stones wanted some red
ochre, and each article became kind
of money-each became valuable for
trading purposes.

Il am afraid so, dear-yes. But I

He put his arm about her and drew
her into room opening off the hall
his study. He made her repeat again
to him the conversation she had had
with Uncle Benny and tell him how
he had acted; but she saw that what
she told him did not help him.
Then he drew her toward him.
"Tell me, little daughter You
have been a great deal with Uncle
Benny and have talked with him;
want you to think carefully. Did you
ever hear him speak of any one called
Alan Conrad?"
She thought. mo, father"

81 do not know, dear. l never heard
the name until to-day. and Harry
SpearmaD had never heard it, But it
appears to be intimately connected in
some way with what was troubling
Uncle Benny yesterday. He wrote a
letter yesterday to Alan Conrad in
Blue Rapids and mailed it Himself;
and afterward he tried TO get it back,
but it already had been taken up and
was on it's way. / have not been able
to learn anything more about the letter
than that To-day that name, Alan
Conrad, came TO me in quite another
way, in way which makes it certain
that it is closely connected with what
ever has happened to Uncle Benny.
You are quite sure you never heard
him mention it, dearT
"Quite sure, father"
He released her and, still in his hat
and coat, went swiftly up the stairs.
She ran after him and found him
standing before a high boy in his dress

the highboy, and from within the
drawer he took a key. Then, still dis

a wrap and pulled it around her. He
had told the chauffeur, she realized
now, to wait; but as he reached the
door, he turned and stopped her.
81 would rather you did not come

know at all what it is that has hap
pened-I will let you know as soon as

The finality in his tone stopped her
from argument. AS the house door and
then the door of the limousine closed
after him, she went back toward the
window, slowly taking off the wrap.
For the moment she found it difficult
to think. Something had happened to
Uncle Benny, something terrible,
dreadful for those who loved him;
that was plain, though only the fact
and not its nature was known to her
or TO her father; and that something
was connected-intimately connected,
her father had said-with a name
which no one who knew Uncle Benny
ever heard before, with the name of
Alan Conrad of Blue Rapids, Kansas.
Who was this Alan Conrad, and what
could his connection be with Uncle
Benny so to precipitate disaster upon
him?

hair was still jet black except for a
slash of pure white above one temple !;
his brows were black above his deep
blue eyes. His acquaintances, in ex-
planning him to strangers, said he had
lived too much by himself of late; he
and one man servant shared the great
house which had been unchanged-and
in which nothing appeared to have
needed replacing since his wife left
him, suddenly and unaccountably,
about twenty years before. People

to his father who was known to have
been skin-hunter north of Lake Su-

ried an English girl at Mackinac and
settled down to become trader in the

Benjamin Corvet was born.
During his bOyhood men came to the
peninsula to cut timber; young Corvet
worked with them and began building
ships. Thirty-five years ago he had
been only one of the hundreds with
his fortune in the fate of a single bot
tom; but today in Cleveland, in Du-
luth, in Chicago, more than a score
of great steamers under the names of
various interdependent companies

ticed that these outbursts occurred
generally at times Of storm upon the
lake, but the mere threat of financial
loss through the destruction of one or
even more of his ships was not now
enough to cause them; it was believed
that they were the result of some OBJ
scure physical reaction to the storm,
and that this had grown upon him as
he grew older.
Today his irritability was so
marked, his uneasiness so much
greater than anyone had seen it be-
fore, that the attendant whom Corvet

was unanswered. An hour later, she
called again; still getting no result,
she called her father at his Office, and
told him of her anxiety about Uncle
Benny, but without repeating what
Uncle Benny had said to her or the
promise she had made to him. Her IA
Their made light of her fears; Uncle
Benny, he reminded her, often acted

treasured, she called Uncle Benny's
house several more times during the
morning. but still got no reply: and
after luncheon she called her father
again, to tell him that she had re-
solved to get some one to go over to
the house with her.
Her father, to her surprise forbade
this rather sharply; his voice, she
realized, was agitated and excited, and
she asked him the reason; but instead
of answering her, he made her repeat
to him her conversation of the after
noon before with Uncle Benny, and
now he questioned her closely about it.
But when she, in her turn, tried TO
question him, he merely put her off
and told her not to worry.
In the late afternoon, as dusk was
drawing into dark, she stood at the
window, with one of those delusive
hopes which come during anxiety that,
because it was the time of day at
which she had seen Uncle Benny walk
ing by the lake the day before, she
might see him there again, when she
saw her fathers motor approaching.
1t was coming from the north, not
from the south as it would have been
if he was coming from his Office or his
club, and it had turned into the Drive
from the west. She knew, therefore,
that he was coming from Uncle Ben

and wheeled in, she ran out into the
hall to meet him.
