SYNOPSIS.-Wealthy and highly
placed in the Chicago business
world, Benjamin Corvet is some
thing of recluse and mystery
to his associates. After a stormy
interview with his partner, Henry
Spearman, Corvet seeks Constance
Sherrill, daughter of his other
business. partner, Lawrence Sher-
rill. and secures from her prom
Use not to marry Spearman until ne
returns. He then disappears. Sher-
rill learns Corvet has written to
certain Alan Conrad, in Blue Rap
Ids. Kansas. and exhibited strange
agitation over the matter. Alan
arrives in Chicago. From a state
ment of Sheriff. 1t seems prob
able Conrad is Corvet's Legitimate
son. Corvet has decided his house
and its contents to Alan, who takes
possession. That night Alan dis
covers a man ransacking Corvet's
apartments. The intruder thinks
Alan a ghost and raves of the MI
waka." After struggle the man es-
capes. Next day Alan learns from
Sheriff. that Corvet has decided his
entire property to him. Introduced
to Spearman, Alan is astonished at
the discovery that he is the man
whom he had fought In his house
the night before. Spearman laughs
at and defies him. Spearman poi

Alan. Somebody tries to kill Alan
In the night. Corvet's Indian serv-
ant. Wassaquam, tells Alan he be-
lieves his employer is dead. He
also tells him the legend of the In
dian drum, which according to old
superstition beats once for every
life lost on the Great Lakes. Twen-
ty years before, the great freighter
Miwaka had gone down with
twenty-five on board. but the Drum
had sounded for only twenty-four.

Sheriff. hesitated, then assented; and
they went round the block together to
the Corvet house. Sheriff., after few
instants hesitation, took the key from
his pocket and unlocked the door and
went In. The rooms, they saw, were
all In perfect order; summer covers
had been put upon the furniture; pro-
tecting cloths had been spread over
the beds upstairs. After their lnspec-
ton, they came out again at the front
door, and her father closed 1t with .
swapping of the spring lock.
Constance. as they walked away,
turned and looked back at the old
house, gloomy and dark among Ito
newer, fresher-looking neighbors. and
suddenly she choked, and her eyes
grew wet. That feeling was not for
Uncle Benny; the drain Of days past
had exhausted such surge of feeling
for him. That which she could not
wink away was for the boy who had
come to that house a few weeks ago
and for the man who just now had
gone.

THE INDIAN DRUM
By William aacfzarg and edpin Banr

| at. The names and addresses on these
written, 1t was plain, all at the same
| time and with the same pen and Ink,
| and each sheet In the beginning had
contained seven or eight names. Some
Of these original names and even the
addresses had been left unchanged,
but most Of them had been scratched
out and altered many times-other
and quite different names had been
substituted; the pages had become
finally almost illegible, crowded
scrawls, rewritten again and again In
Corvet's cramped hand. Alan strained
forward, holding the first sheet TO the
light.
Alan seized the clippings he had
looked at before and compared them
swiftly with the page he had Just read;
two Of the names-Westhouse and
French-were the same as those upon
this list. Suddenly he grasped the
other pages of the list and looked
it was not there. He dropped the
sheets upon the table and got up and
began to stride about the room.
He felt that in this list and In these
clippings there must be, somehow,
some one general meaning-they must
relate In some way to one thing; they
must have deeply, intensely concerned
Benjamin Corvet's disappearance and
his present fate, whatever that might
be, and they must concern Alan's fate
as well. But In their disconnection,
their incoherence, he could discern no
common thread What conceivable
bond could there have been uniting
Benjamin. Corvet at once with an old
man dying upon poorfarm in Emmett
county. wherever that might be, and
with a baby girl, now some two years
old, in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin?
He called Wassaquam into the IL
brary and brought the lists and clip
pings out again.
do you know at all what these are,
Judah?" he asked.

found him, the first night got here
and while you were away, going
through my fathers things. I fought
with him, and he ran away. He was
the one that broke into my fathers
desks; maybe you'll believe that, even
If no one else will"
"Yes? the Indian questioned
"Yes?". 1t was plain that he not only
believed but that believing gave him
immense satisfaction. He took Alan's
arm and led him into the smaller IL
brary. He knelt before one of the draw
ers under the bookshelves-the drawer,
Alan recalled, which he himself had
been examining when he had found
Wassaquam watching him. He drew
out the drawer and dumped Its con-
tents oft upon the floor he turned
the drawer about then, and pulled the
bottom out of 1t. Beneath the bottom
which he had removed appeared now
paper scrawled in an uneven hand and
with different colored inks.
At sight of them, Spearman, who
had followed them into the room, ut
tered an oath and sprang forward. The
Indians small dark hand grasped
Spearman's wrist, and his face
twitched itself into a fierce grin
which showed how little civilization
had modified in him the aboriginal
passions. But Spearman did not try
to force his way; instead, he drew
back suddenly.
Alan stopped and picked up the pa
pers and put them in his pocket. If
the Indian had not been there, 1t
would not have been SO easy for him
to do that, he thought.

He gave the lists to Wassaquam,

| Alan went with Wassaquam into the
front library, after the Indian had
shown Spearman out.
"This was the man, Judah, who came
for Mr.. COrvet that night l was hurt?
Eyes, Alan" Wassaquam said.
HE was the man, then, who came
here twice year, at least, TO see Mr.
CorvetY'
"Yes."
81 was sure of it." Alan said. "Can
you tell me now why he came here,
Judah?"
Il have told you I do not know,
Wassaquam replied. "Ben always saw
him; Ben gave him money. 1 do not
know why"
Alan had been holding his hand over
the papers which he had thrust into
his pocket; he went back into the
smaller library and spread them under
the reading lamp to examine them.
But, as he looked the pages over now,
he felt chill of disappointment and
chagrin. They did not contain any
narrative concerning Benjamin Cor
vets life; they did not even relate to
a single event. They were no MARIA
tive at all. They were-in his first
what they were.
They consisted in all of some dozen
sheets of irregular size, some of which
had been kept much longer than 9th
ers, a few of which even appeared
fresh and new. The three pages
which Alan thought, from their yell
lowed and worn look, must be the old
est. and which must have been kept
for many years, contained only a list
of names and addresses. The remain
ing pages, which he counted as ten
in number, contained nearly a hun
dred brief clippings from newspapers;
the clippings had been very carefully
cut out, they had been pasted with
painful regularity on the sheets. and
each had been dated across its face
dates made with many different pens
and with many different inks, but all
in the same irregular handwriting as
the letter which Alan had received
from Benjamin Corvet.
Alan, his fingers numb In his disap-
pointment. turned and examined all
these pages; but they contained moth
ing else. He read one of the clippings,
which was dated FEB. 1912"

CHAPTER XII
The Things From corvet's Pockets.
Miss Constance Sheriff.,

Harbor Springs, Michigan"
The address, in large scrawling let
tiers, was written across the brown
paper of the package which had been
brought from the post Office In the lit
tie resort village only few moments
before. The paper covered a shoe box,
crushed and old, bearing the name of
IS. klug Dealer in Fine Shoes, Mani
towoc, Wisconsin" The box, like the
outside wrapping, was carefully tied
with string
Constance, knowing no one In Mani
towoc and surprised at the nature of
the package, glanced at the postmark
on the brown paper which she had re-
moved; it too was stamped Manito-
voc. She cut the strings about the
box and took off the cover. A black
box; and, seeing it, Constance caught
her breath. 1t was-at least it was
very like-the muffler which Uncle
Benny used to wear in winter.
She started with trembling fingers
to take it from the box; tAen, realiz-
LIS 4lOiA lAC Wight Va liz PdNhaSC
that the cloth was only a wrapping or,
at least, that other things were in the
box, she picked up box and wrapping
and ran up to her ROOM She locked
the door ard put the box upon the
bed; now she lifted out the cloth. 1t
was wrapping, for the heavier things
came with it; and now, also, 1t re-
vealed itself plainly as the scarf-Un-
Gle Benny's scarf! A paper fiuttered
out as she began to unroll it-a little
cross-lined leaf evidently torn from
pocket memorandum book. 1t had
been folded and rolled up. She spread
it out; writing was upon it, the small
irregular letters Of Uncle Benny's
hand
"Send to Alan Conrad" she read;
there followed a Chicago address-the
number of Uncle Benny's house on
Aston street. Below this was another
line:
Better care of Constance Sheriff.
(Miss)." There followed the. sher
rills' address upon the Drive. And to
this was another correction:
mot after June 12 then to HarboI
Springs, Mich. Ask some one of that
be sure the date; after June H."
Constance, trembling. unrolled the
scarf; now coins showed from a fold,
next d pOcketknife, ruined and rusty,
next a watch-a mans large gold
watch with the case queerly pitted
and worn completely through in places
and last a plain little band of gold OF
the size for a woman's inger-a wed |

with fingers shaking so from excite
ment that she could scarcely hold |
these objects, picked them up and ex-
amined them-the ring first
1t very evidently was. as she had |
thought. a wedding ring
once fitted for a finger only a trife /
less slender than her own. One side /
Of the gold band was very much worn, 1
not with the sort Of wear which o
ring gets on a hand, but by some diff. 1
ferent sort Of abrasion. The other /
side OF the band was roughened and /
Ditted but not so much worn; the in.
side still bore the traces Of an IN
scripfiOB. "As long as we DO
al alive" Constance could read. and
the date. June ?, 1891"
