Mr.. and Mrs. Belmont were at the course

pleased with his performance.
Before the race Feustel told Mr.
Belmont that he was going to instruct

making him run a fpriong or so under

that II might iniure the colt, and Mr.
Belmont agreed with him. But both Mr.

CHAPTER XI
The Land of the Drum.

The Land of the Drum.
 Alan went with Wassaquam into the front library, after the Indian had shown Spearman out.
 'NThis was the man, Judah, who came for MT. Corvet that night was hurtT"
 "Yes, Alan," WassaQuam said.
 "He was the man, then, who came here twice a year, at least, to see MT. CorvetT'
 "Yes"
 T was sure of it," Alan said "Can you tell me now why he came here, Judahr
 T have told you I do not know" Wassaquam replied. "Ben always saw him; Ben gave him money. 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 a chill of disappointment and chagrtn. They did not contain any narrative concerning Benjamin Cor vets life; they did not even relate to a single event. They were no narra- tive at all. They were-in his first examination of them, he could not tell what they were.
 They consisted in all of some dozen sheets of irregular size, some of which had been kept much longer than oth- CTS, a few of which even appeared fresh and new. The three pages which Alan thought, from their vel 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
Connecticut western news., 1922-11-16

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 noth- ing else. He read one of the clippings, which was dated Feb. 1912"
 "The passing away of one of the oldest residents of Emmet county oc- cured at the poprfarm on Thursday of last week. Mir Fred Westhouse was one of four brothers brought by their parents into Emmet county In 1846. He established himself here as a farmer and was we'll known among our people for many years. He was nearly the last of his family, which was quite well off at one time, MT. Westhouse'S three brothers and his father having perished in various dis asters upon the lake. His wife died two years ago. He Is survived by daughter, Mrs. Arthur Pearl, of Flint"
 He read another:
 "Hallford-Spens. On Tuesday last MT. and Mrs. Bert Hauford, of this place, was united in the bonds of holy matrimony to MT. Robert Spens, of Escanaba. All wish the young couple we'll"
 He read another:
 "Born to MT. and Mrs Hal French. a daughter, Saturday afternoon last. Miss Vera Arabella French, at her ar rival weighed seven and one-half pounds"
 This clipping was dated, In Benja- min Corvet's hand, "Sturgeon Bay, Wis, Aug. 1914" Alan put 1t aside in bewilderment and amaze and took up again the sheets he first had looked at. The names and addresses on these oldest, yellowed pages had been first 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 Qorvet's cramped hand Alan strained
Connecticut western news., 1922-11-16
forward, holding t. 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 them through for his own name; but 1t 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 tn some way to one thing; they must have deeply, intensely concerned Benjamin Corvets 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 a poorfarm in Emmet county, wherever that might be, and with baby girl, now some two years old. in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin,
 He called Wassaquam into the H. brary and brought the lists and clip pings out again.
 Do you know at all what these are, Judah?" he asked.
 'eNo, Alan. I have seen Ben have

conquer, seeking relief In study, in cor respondence with scientific societies. in anything which could engross him and shut out memory. But now he must think of him, not merely as one trying to forget; what had thwarted Corvet's life was not only in the past {; 1t was something still going on. It had amazed SherTillT to learn that Corvet, for twenty years, had kept trace of Alan but Corvet had kept trace in the same way and with the same secrecy of many other people-of about a score of people. When Alan thought of Corvet, alone in his silent house, he must think of him as solicitors about these people; as seeking for their names in the newspapers which he took for that purpose. and as re- cording the changes in their lives. The deaths, the births, the marriages among these people had been of the intensest interest to Corvet
 It was possible that none of these people knew about Corvet; Alan had aot known about him In Kansas, but had known only that some unknown person had sent money for his support. But he appreciated that it did not matter whether they knew about him or not; for at some point common to all of them, the lives of these people must have touched Corvet's life. When Alan knew what had been that point of contact. he would know about Cor vet be would know about himself.
 Alan had seen among Corvet's books a set of charts of the Great Lakes- He went and got that now and an atlas Opening them upon the ta- ble, he looked up the addresses given on CorYet's list They were most of

pleT
 He gave the lists to WassaQuam, who studied them through attentively, holding them to the lamp.
 "No, Alan"
 Have you ever heard of any of their names beforeT
 'That may be. I do not know. They are common names"
 Do you know the placesT'
 'Yes-the places. They are lake ports CT little villages on the lakes. I have been in most of them, Alan. Em- met county, Alan, came from there. Henry comes from there, too"
 Then that is where they hear the Drum3"
 ."Yss, Alan"
 My father took newspapers from those places, did he not7"
 WassaQuam looked over the ad- dresses again. "Yes; from all. He took them for the shipping news, he said. And sometimes be cut pieces out of them-these pieces, see now i; and afterward I burned the papers i; he would not let me only throw them away"
 That's all you know about them, Judah?"
 "Yes, Alan: that is all."
 Alan dismissed the Indian, who, stolidly methodical in the midst of these events, went downstairs and commenced to prepare a dinner which Alan knew he could not eat. Alan got up and moved about the rooms; he went back and looked over the lists and clippings once more; then he moved about again. How strange picture of his father did these things call up to him When he had thought of Benjamin Corvet before, 1t had been as Sherrill had described him, pur- sued by some thought he could not
