Henry feared? Alan had described
the man TO her; that description had
not had meaning for her before; but
now remembering that description she
could think Of Henry as the only n
who could have been tn that house!
Henry had fought With. Alan there!
Afterwards, when Alan had been at
tackled upon the street, had Henry
anything TO do with that?
Henry had lied 20 her about being
IA Duluth the night he had fought
with Alan he had not told her the
true cause of his quarrels with Uncle
Benny; he had wished her to believe
that Uncle Benny was dead when the
wedding ring and watch came to her
the watch which had been Captain
S.afford's Of the Miwaka! Henry had
urged her to marry him at once. Was
that because he wished the security
that her father-and she-must give
her husband when they learned the
revelation which Alan or Uncle Ben
ny might bring?

directly TO the telegraph Office. If
Henry was In Petoskey, hey would
know at that office where he could be
found he would be keeping in touch
with them.
Mr.. Spearman. the operator said, had
been ut the office early in the day;
there had been no message for him
he had left instructions that any
which came were to be forwarded 20
him through the men who, under his
direction, were patrolling the shore
for twenty miles north Of Little Tray
erse, watching for boats.
Constance crossed the frozen edges
OF the bay by sledge to Harbor
Point. Her distrust now had deep
ened to terrible dread. She had not
been able before this to form any def
mite idea Of how Henry could threat.

told her. THE men are all from her.
They had abandoned her in the small

up before the ferry found her"

that. But it was plain to her that he

Horror and amazement flowed in up
on her with her realization of this in

her body tense; then, as she turned
and went out, he followed her, calling
her name. But, seeing the seamen in
the larger office, he stopped, and she
understood he was not willing TO urge
himself upon her in their presence.
I'm willing TO 60 home now, mother,
If you WISH" she said steadily.
When they had gone down to the
street and were In the car, Constance
leaned back, closing her eyes; she
feared her mother might wish TO talk
with her.
Toward three o'clock, the Office
called her, but only to report that they
had heard from Mr.. Sheriff.. He had
wired that he was going on from Man
istique and would cross the straits from
st. Ignace messages from him were to
be addressed to Petoskey. There was
no other report except that vessels
were still continuing the search for
survivors, because the Indian Drum,
which had been beating, was beating
short causing the superstitiouS to
be certain that, though some of the
men from Number % were lost, some
yet survived.
Constance thrilled as she heard
that. She did not believe in the Drum /;
at least she had never thought She
had really believed in it she had only
stirred to the idea of its being true.
But if the Drum was beating, she was
glad it was beating short. 1t vas
serving, at least, to keep the lake men
more alert.
A little later, as Constance stood ut
the window, gazing ont at the 10Y
upon the lake, she drew back suddenly
out of sight from the street, as she
saw Henry's roadster appear out of
the storm and stop before the house.
She waited in the room where she
was. The strain he was under had
not lessened, she could see; or rather,
if she could rust her feeling Mt sight
Of him, it had lessened only slightly,
and at the same time his power to
resist it had been lessen;ng too.

"Uncle Benny and Alan Conrad

her that.

impression to herself. When she had
opened the door and come In, he had
looked up In dread, as though prepar-
Ing himself for whatever she might
announce. Now that the door shut
them in alone, he approached her with
arms offered. She stepped back, in
stinctively avoiding his embrace; and
he stopped at once, but he had come
quite close to her now.
AS she stared at him, the clerks
voice came TO her suddenly over the
partition which separated the office
from the larger room where the clerk
was receiving some message over the

She saw Henry stlffen. "Yes," she
said swiftly. "They cay the Drum be-

telephone. Henry Strengthened, lis
tened as the voice stopped, his great,
finely-shaped head sank between his
shoulders; he fumbled in his pocket
for a cigar, and his big hands shook
as he lighted it, without word Of X
cuse TO her. A strange feeling came to
her that he felt what he dreaded APP
preaching and was no longer conscious
Of her presence.
She heard footsteps in the larger
room coming toward the office door.
Henry was In suspense. A rap came
at the door. He whitened, and wet his
lips.
Come in" he summoned.
One Of the Office girls entered, bring
ing a white page Of paper with three
or four lines of purple typewriting up
on IL which Constance recognized must
be a transcript of q message just re-
ceived.
She started forward at sight Of 1t,
forgetting everything else; but he took
the paper as though he did not know
she was there. He merely held it IN
til the girl had gone out even then
he stood folding and unfolding 1t, and
his eyes did not drop to the sheet.
The girl had said nothing at all but,
having seen her, Constance was
athrill the girl had not been a bearer
Of bad news, that was sure; she
brought some sort Of good news! Con-
stance, certain of it, moved nearer to
Henry to read what he held. He looked
down and read.
"What Is 1t, Henry?"
His muscular reaction, as he read,
had drawn the sheet away from her;
he recovered himself almost instantly
and gave the paper to her.
1875 a. M, ManitowOc, Wis.," she
read. "The schooner Anna S. Solwerk
has been sighted making for this port.
She Is not close enough for communi-
cation, but two lifeboats, additional to
her own, a be plainly made out. 1t
is believed that she must have picked
up survivors Of No. 25. She carries
no wireless, so is unable to report.
Tugs are going to her"
"Two lifeboats!" Constance cried.
THAT could mea that they all are
saved or nearly all; doesn't 1t, Hen
ry; doesn't itT
He had read some other significance
in 1t, she thought, or, from his greater
understanding Of conditions In the
storm, he had been able to hold no
hope from what had been reported.
That was the only way she could ex-
plain to herself as he replied to her;
that the word meant TO him that men
were saved and that therefore it was
~dismaying to him, could not come to
her at once. When it came now, it
went over her first only in the flash
of incredulous question.
The telephone buzzer under his desk
sounded; she drew close as he took
up his receiver.
"Manitowoc?" he said. II want to
know what you've heard from the Sol
werk. . . You hear me? .
The men the Solwerk picked UP. You

ooh, I understand! All from the
Benton. l see! . . . No; never
mind their names. How about Number
%? Nothing more heard from theln?'
Constance had caught his shoulder
while he was speaking and now chung
to 1t. Release-release of strain was
going through him she could feel 1t,
and she heard it in his tones and saw
it In his eyes.

GREECE TAKES
 ALLIED EDICT::
 LEAVESTHRACE

ATHENS, Oct. 9.-The Greek Gov ernment has issued instructions to it's delegates at the Mudania con- ference to accept all decisions which may be unanimously agreed upon there by the representative of the Allied powers. This action followed the receipt of advices from former Venizelos, now in London, who took the stand that eastern Thrace must be considered lost to Greece. The Greek representatives will attempt to secure an armistice of two months, in order to permit the evacuation of her army and the Greek civilian population in Thrace, which is esti- mated to aggregate 250,000. It is probable that another 100000 Greeks and Armenians will leave Constan- tinople for Greece, which will make that much more crushing the prob lem of that country, which is now overburdened with refugees.

OFFICIAL AVERAGES

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Official bat ting and fielding averages in the Worlds Series reveal the decisive su- periority of the Giants over the Tanks in nearly every department of the game With fielding percentage of .995, the Tanks excelled the Giants, who fielded .972 As team the Giants hit 1909, collecting 50 hits and SCOT ing IS runs, while the Tanks batted .2O3, with 32 hits and II runs. Groh, Frisch and E. Meusel were the bat ting heroes, although Young and Kelly made timely blows. Groh hit .474, which is the best average of any play CT. Meusel, with five hits, drove in seven runs. Bob Meusel and Pipp for the Yankees had hits each, leading the Tanks. Frisch and Groh were also fielding stars. The big disap- pointments to the crowd were the highly-touted Yank pitchers delivery and Ruth's failure to hit Out of sev- enteen times at the bat, he got only two hits, and seldom knocked a ball outside the infeld.
 It was stated officially today that neither club garnered sufficient re- turns from the series to pay overhead expenses, each clubs total share being approximately $41,21S. This in spite of the fact that the record for receipts was broken each day Only five games were played The entire receipts of the tie game went to charity. The total receipts were $6O5, ,475, of which S2O,554 went to charity. Of the re- mainder, ehtp ylSBXAucBlt3areNNNN mainder, the players share was S247,- 3O971, of which 75 per cent will be divided among the players of the Giants and Tanks. The rest goes to the runners-up in both leagues. The Giant players will probably get $447O each, while the Yank player will probably get $3225.
