swer her; for she did not suspect tI.. he was unable to answer her.
 'You would rather explain to father than to me-" she decided.
 He hesitated. What he wanted now was time to think, to learn who she was and who her father was, and to adjust himself to this strange reversal of his expectations.
 "Yes; I would rather to that" he said.
 She caught up her fur collar and muff from a chair and spoke a word to the servant. As she went out on to the porch, he followed her and stopped to pick up his suitcase.

GOT RID OF HIS AUDIENCE
Indiana Youth Cannot Be Denied the Faculty of Arriving at

In Sullivan county there are still many rural phones, the sort that when the bell rings on one it rings for all the others, too, reports the Indian apolis News. But each patron is sup posed to be honorable and anSw CT the phone only when his or her own call is given Many. being rather lonely, answer all calls and do the listening stunt to perfection.
 A recent graduate at one of the schools received a present from his girl" and also one from several of the neighbors at the exercises. But whez the girls came he decided to thank her right away. And he went to the telephone and called her number.
 He heard central ring her phone, and then counted six clicks before she answered him. He knew he had an audience. So quite politely he said, "Now that you are all together I want to thank you individually and jointly for the nice presents you sent me for my graduation"
 A silence, and then gently six re- ceivers clicked back on their hooks The boy, sure he had privacy with his girl, immediately told her what he wished to say about her present.

the station, pricked in Alan'S veins, and hastily he dropped the window to
 his right and gazed out. The lake,
 as he had known since his geography
 days, lay to the east of Chicago ;
 therefore that void out there beyond
 the park was the lake or. at least, the
 harbor. A different air seemed to come from 1t; sounds .. Suddenly
 1t all was shut off; the taxicab, swervfng little, was dashing between
 business blocks; a row of buildings had risen again upon the right; they broke abruptly to show him a wooden walled chasm in which flowed the river full of ice with tug dropping it's Smokestack as 1t cut below the bridge which the cab crossed; build fngs on both sides again then, to the right, roaring, heaving crashing ex- panse.
 The sound, Alan knew, had been coming to him as an undertone for many minutes; now 1t overwhelmed, swallowed all other sound. It was great, not loud all sound which Alan had heard before,- except the soughing of the wind over his prairies, came from one pOint1 even the monstrouS city murmur was centered in compari- son with this. Over the lake, as over the land, the soft snowfiakes lazfly foated down. scarcely stirred by the slightest breeze; that roar was the voice of the water, that awful power its own.
 Alan choked and gasped for breath, his pulses pounding in his throat; he had snatched off his hat and, leaning out of the window sucked the lake air in his lungs. There had been nothing To h l,a1r crush of feeling. The lake-he had thought of it, of course, as great body of water, an interesting sight for prairie boy to see; that was all. No physical experience in all his memory had affected him like this; and it was without warning; the strange thing that had stirred within him as the car brought him to the Drive downtown was strengthened now a thOuSand-fold; it amazed, half frightened, half dizzied him. Now, as the motor suddenly swung around corner and shut the sight of the lake from him, Alan sat back breathless.
 The car swerved to the east curb about the middle of the block and came to a stop. The house before which it had halted was large stone house of quiet, good design; it was some generation older, apparently, than the houses on each side of 1t, which were brick and terra cotta of recent fashionable architecture; Alan only glanced at them long enough to get that impression before he opened the cab door and got out but as the cab drove away, he stood beside his suitcase looking up at the old house which bore the number given in Ben jamin Corvet's letter, then around at the other houses and back to that again.
 The neighborhood obviously pre- cluded the probability of Corvet's be- ing merely a lawyer-a go-between. He must be some relative; the ques- ton ever present in Alan's thought since the receipt of the letter, but held in abeyance, as to the possibility and nearness of Corvet's relation to him, took sharper and more exact form now than he had dared to let 1t take before. Was his relationship to
Williams news., 1922-07-07

Corvet, perhaps, the closest of all re- IatiOnships2 Was Corvet his .. father? He checked the question within himself, for the time had passed for mere speculation upon it now. Alan was trembling excitedly i; for-whoever Corvet might be-the enigma of Alan's existence was going to be answered when he had entered that house. He was going 10 know who he was. All the possibilities, the responsibilities, the attachments, the opportunities. perhaps. of that person whom he was-but whom, as yet, he did nr: know-were before him. He went up the steps and, with fingers

the occasional soft tread Of some servant, he twisted himself about in his chair and looked around. Who were these Sherrills? Who was Cor vet and what was his relation to the Sherrills? What, beyond all, was their and Corvet's relation to Alan Conrad to himself? The shock and confusion he had felt at the nature of hts recep- ton in Corvet's house, and the strange ness of his transition from his little Kansas town to a place and people such as this, had prevented him from fnquiring directly from Constance Sherril1 as to that; and, on her part, she had assumed, plainly. that he already knew and need not be told.
 He strengthened and looked about. then got up, as Constance Sherrill came back into the room.
 Father is not here just now," she said. We weren't sure fram your telegram exactly at what hour you would arrive. and that was why I waited at MT. Corvet's to be sure we wouldn't miss you. have telephoned father, and he's coming home a. once"
 She hesitated an instant in tLe door way, then turned to go out again.
 Miss Sherrill-" he said.
 She halted. tYes.'
 You told me you had been waiting for me to come and explain my con- nectfOn with MT. Corvet. We'll can't do that; that is what came here hoping to find out.''
 She came back toward him slowly
 'What do you mean?" she asked.
 He fought down and controlled resolutely the excitement in his voice, as he told her rapidly the little he knew about himself.
 He could not tell definitely how she was affected by what he said. She flushed slightly, following her first start of surprise after he had begun. to speak: when he had finished, he saw that she was a little pale.
 "Then you don't know anything about MT. .Corvet at all,'' she said.
 "No; until got his letter sending for me here. I'd never seen or heard his name" 94
 She was thoughtful for a moment.
 'Thank you for telling me-. she said. 9TH tell my. father when he comes."
 "Your father is-?'' he ventured.
 She understood now that the name of Sherri1 had meant nothing to him. Father is Mr.. Corvet's closest friend, and his business partner as we'll" she explained.
 He thought she was going to tell him something more about them; but she seemed to decide to leave that for her father to do. She crossed to the big chair beside the grate and seated herself AS she sat looking at him, hands clasped beneath her chin, and her elbows resting on the arm of the chair, there was speculation and in- terest in her gaze; but she did not ask him anything more about himself.
