Convention or Army

DUBLIN, March 81 (By The Asso-
ciated Press) THE convention of
Irish republican army members for
hidden by the Dali Eireann ended its
lengthy session late last night with
out having excited any outward
demonstration or ruffled the usual
Sunday life of the city.
The provisional free state govern
ment made no attempt to interfere
with the proceedings and has not
definitely stated it will take any ac-
ton although it is supposed that
those who attended will be treated
as having separated themselves
from the rest of the army and the.
names possibly stricken from the
army roll.
The action of the convention il
adopting resolution met with
strong condemnation among sup
porters OF the free state. The Irish
Independent today said:
MANY times in the past have our
people become engaged in a crisis
when unity was essential. Today we
will see the same unedifying de-
plorable spectacle. This union has
been forced on the country +.
The resolution passed by the con-
vention amounts to reputation OF
the Dali Eireann yet Eeamon de
Valera insists that the Dali be the
supreme authority in Ireland.
In eleven democratic government
countries. including republics like
France and America, the army is
strictly subject to control of civil
authority of the government for the
time being. Wherever departures
from that constitutional system have
taken place, grave events sometimes
to establishment of a
military dictatorship followed"

CHAPTER lV.-Continued.

What Sherrill had told Alan of his father had been iterating itself again and again in Alan's thoughts; now he recalled that Sherrill had said that his daughter believed that CorvetS dis appearance had had something to do with her. Alan had wondered at the moment how that could be; and as he watched her across the table and now and then exchanged comment with her, it puzzled hirD still more. He had opportunity to ask her when she waited with him in the library, after dinner was finished and her mother had gone upstairs; but he did not see then how to go about 1t.
 "fm sorry," she said to him. that we can't be home tonight; but perhaps you would rather be alone?'
 He did not answer that.
 Have you a picture here, Miss Sher- Till, of-my father?" he asked
 Uncle Benny had had very few pie lures taken; but there is one here"
 She went iato the study and came back with a book open at half-tone picture of Benjamin Corvet. Alan took it from her and carried 1t quickly closer to the light. The face that looked up to him from the heavily glazed page was regular of feature, handsome in a way, and forceful. There were imagination and vigor of thought in the broad, smooth fore head; the eyes were strangely moody and breeding; the mouth was gentle, rather kindly; it was a Queerly im- polling, haunting face. This was his father! But, as Alan held the picture, gazing down upon it, the only emotion which came to him was realization that he felt none. He had no emotion of any sort; he could not attach to this man, because he bore the name which some one had told him was his fla ther's, the passions which, when dreaming of his father, he had felt

should be the guest, the friend of such yet since Sherrill had told him he was Corvets son, had called him by name when they did, what would they call him? Alan Conrad still? Or Alan Corvet?
 He noticed, up street to the west, turned up that way; he had promised, he had recollected now, to write to those in kansas-he could not call them father" and mother" any more-and tell them what he had dis covered as soon as he arrived He could rot tell them that, but he could write them at least that he had ar rived safely and was well. He bought postcard in the drug store, and wrote just, Arrived safely; am well" to John Welton in Kansas. There was little vending machine upon the coun- ter, and he dropped in penny and got box of matches and put them in his pocket.
 He mailed the card and turned back to Astor street; and he walked more swiftly now, having come to his deci- sion. and only shot one quick look up at the house as he approached It. With what had his father shut himself up within that house for twenty years? And was it there still? And was 1t from that that Benjamin Corvet had fled? He saw no one in the street, and was certain no one was observing him as, taking the key from his pocket, ne ran up the steps and unlocked the outer door. Holding this door open i to get the light from the street lamp, he fitted the key into the inner door; then he closed the outer door. For fut- ly minute, with fast-beating heart and a sense of expectation of he knew not what, he kept his hand upon the key before he turned it; then he opened the door and stepped into the dark and silent house.

These drawers and the draw CTS in the lower part of the desk either were empty, or the papers in them had been disarranged and tum- bled in confusion, as though some one had examined them hastily and tossed them back. To Alan. the marks of violence and roughness were unmis- takably the work of the man with the big hands who had left marks upon the top of the chest of drawers: and the feeling that he had been in the house very recently was stronger than ever.

Alan had no doubt that everything of importance must have been taken away. but he would make sure of that. He took some of the pa pers from the drawers and began to examine them after nearly an hour of this. he had found only one article which appeared connected in any way with what Sherrll had told him or with Alan himself. In one of the little drawers of the desk he found several books. much worn as though from being carried in pocket, and one of these contained series of entries stretching over several years. These listed an unt-Sl50-opposite se- ries of dates with only the year and the month given. and there was an entry for every second month.
 Alan felt his fingers trembling as he turned the pages of the little book and found at the end of the list n blank, and below. in the same hand but in writing which had changed slightly with the passage of years. an other date and the confirming entry of $1 300. Alan looked through the little book again and put it in his pocket. It was. beyond doubt, his fathers memorandum of the sums sent to Blue Rapids for Alan; It told him that here he had been in his fathers thoughts. He grew warm at the thought as he began putting the other things back into the drawers.
 He started and straightened sudden ly; then he listened attentively. and his skin, warm an instant before. turned ,ad and prickled. Somewhere within the house, unmistakably on the floor below him, a door had slammed.
