Alan trembled at the priests sign Of

since August, when Captain Stafford's

strangely come to Constance, that he
might be Stafford's son. He looked at
Constance, as they followed the priest

take them to the house of old Father
BenitOt, whose guest Father Perron
was; she was very quiet. What would
that grave statement which Father
Perron was to make to them mean to
him-to Alan? Would further knowl-
edge about that father whom he had
not known, but whose blood was his
and whose name he now must bear,
bring pride or shame to him?
A bell was tolling somewhere, as
they followed the priest into Father

been prepared for their interview. Fa-

Alan felt himself alternately weak
and reused to strength as he saw her.
Their eyes encountered, and hers
looked away: sudden shyness, which
sent his heart leaping, had come over
her. He wanted to speak to her, to
make some recognition to her of what
she had done, but he did not dare to

confession and accusation both had
been made, not only to gain forgive
ness from God, but to right terrible
wrongs. II the confession left some
things unexplained, it did not lack con-

enough to be certain that 1t was no

She ran to the huddled figure Of the
man In mackinaw and cap; his face
was hidden partly by the position In
which he lay and partly by the drift
Ing snow; but, before she swept the
snow away and turned him to her, she
knew that he was Alan.
She cried to him and, when he did
not answer, she shook him to get him
awake; but she could not rouse him.
Praying in wild whispers to herself,
she opened his Jacket and felt within
his clothes; he was warm-at least he
was not frozen withinl No; and there
seemed some stir of his heart! She
tried to lift him, to carry him; then to
drag him. But she could not; he fell
from her arms into the snow again,
and she sat down, pulling him upon
her lap and clasping him to her.
She must have aid, she must get him
to. some house, she must take him out
Of the terrible cold; but dared she
leave him? Might Henry return, If she
want away? She arose and looked
about. Far up the shore she saw his
figure rising and falling with his flight
over the rough Ice. A sound came to
her, too, the low, deep reverberation Of
the Drum beating once more along the
shore and in the woods and out upon
the lake; and 1t seemed to her that
Henry's figure, in the stumbling steps
of his flight, was keeping time to the
wild rhythm Of that sound. And she
stopped to Alan and covered him with
her coat, before leaving him; for she
feared no longer Henry's return.

strain within him made him immune
to its effects.
She had realized on her way up here
what, vaguely, that strain within him
must be. Guilt-guilt of some awful
sort connected him, and had connected
Uncle Benny, with the Miwaka-the
lost ship for which the Drum had
beaten the roll of the dead. Guilt was
IN his thought now-racking, tearing
at him. But there was something
more than that; what she had seen In

1.-THE Miwaka What do you mean

forward at her; there was threat
against her in his tense muscles and
his bloodshot eyes.
She did not shrink back from him,
or move; and now he was not waiting
for her answer. Something sound
had caught him about. Once it
echoed, low In its reverberation but
penetrating and quite distinct. 1t

saw his lips form.

only roughly true; they beat rather in

Warns Against

The tuberculosis campaign is a
problem with many sides to it, says
T. j. Werle, executive secretary Of
the Michigan tuberculosis Associa-
ton, in an editorial in the current
issue Of michigan Out-of- Doors"
One of the hardest lessons for many
tuberculosis workers TO learn, he de-
clares, is that the campaign is we'll
rounded problem and that too much
emphasis on any one phase, with the
consequent neglect Of other phases,
often does real harm.
Sometimes worker believes that
the whole tuberculosis problem is a
problem Of Senatorial; another thinks
that tuberculosis nursing is the whole
of the problem; still another specia-
Lies on immediate relief Of poverty;
some go in for the Modern Health
Crusade only; some put all their en-
ergies in camps for children; some
swear by clinics; still others think
that such things as lectures, posters,
exhibits, or occupational rehabilita-
ton form the whole Of the tuberculo-
sis problem.
The fact is, says Mr. Werle, that
all these are but parts Of the whole
problem and the most effective work
is done when each worker keeps in
mind and makes his work a part a
part of the entire plan Of campaign.

A Small CrOUd
Attend the Circus

The John Robinson circus, which
visited Alma Saturday, drew one Of
the smallest crowds that has wit
messed a production under the large
tented cities here i'm a score Of years,
and it is very possible that Alma has
lost her cast as "circus town" as Il
result.
1t is regarded as very probable that
the late hour at which the big show
arrived in Alma from Muskegon
might have been one Of the causes Of
the small attendance that greeted the
show The circus did not arrive here
until about $3.50 Saturday morning.
As a result, all effort was Bonded in
getting the big top ready for the
show, it was impossible TO stage the
parade until nearly 300 p. m. The
parade was held, however. A little
over an hour late the first show was
given, and in the evening the night
show was held at the regular hour.
Many people who came into the
city early in the day TO see the pa
rade and possibly to attend the show,
after waiting around until noon, to
see the marvels that the small child
rem and even the grownups delight IN
when the parade comes down the
street, left for their homes
Other factors probably had consid-
cradle to do in keeping down the at
tendance also.
Some of the acts that were given
by the performers under the big
top" were exceptionally good, and de-
lighted those who attended, and it IS
to be regretted that far larger at
tendance could not have been present
to have witnessed these acts.
