to his associates. After a stormy
interview with his partner. Henry

business partner. Lawrence Sher-
rill, and secures from her a prom
Use not to marry Spearman until he
returns. He then disappears. Sher-
rill learns Corvet has written to q
certain Alan Conrad, in Blue Rap
Ids, Kansas, and exhibited strange
agitation over the matter. Alan
arrives In Chicago. From . state
ment OF Sheriff. 1t seems prob
able Conrad Ia Coryet's Legitimate
son. Corvet has decided his house
and Its contents to Alan. who takes
possession. That night Alan dis
covers a man ransacking Coryet's
apartments. The intruder thinks
Alan a ghost and raves of the MI
waka." After a 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 pol
sons Constance's mind against
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
Mlwaka had gone down with
twenty-five on board, but the Drum
had sounded for only twenty-four,
leaving the inference that one per-
son had been saved. Luke, who
has long been Matchmaking Corvet,
appears, talks mysteriously and
dies. Alan goes to the Land Of the
Drum.

CHAPTER xII-Continued.

1t was in January, 1896, Constance
remembered, that Alan Conrad had
been brought to the people in Kansas I;
he then was "about three years old"
If this wedding ring was his mothers,
the date would be about right; it was
a date probably something more than
a year before Alan was born. Con-
stance put down the ring and picked
up the watch. 1t was like Uncle Ben
ny's watch-or like one of his watches.
He had several, she knew, presented
to him at various times-watches al
most always were the testimonials
given to seamen for acts of sacrifice
and bravery. The spring which OPP
Grated the cover would not work, but
Constance forced the cover open.
There, inside the cover as she had
thought 1t would be, was engraved
writing. Sand had seeped into the
case; the inscription was obliterated
in part.
"For his courage and skill in
seam master of which he
brought to the rescue of the passen-
gers and crew of the steamer Winnie
bago laundering Point, Lake
Erie, Nov. &c, 1890, this watch is
donated by the Buffalo Merchants Ex-

Uncle Benny's name, evidently, had
been engraved upon the outside. Con-
stance could not particularly remem-

was born, and Uncle Benny did not

Constance left the watch open and.
shivering little, she gently laid 1t
down upon her bed. The pocketknife
had no distinguishing mark of any
sort. The coins were abraded and pit

er, you and I. Ben's gone, never &c
| come back. / was sure of that by
what you wrote me, so this time when
1 started to you l brought with me
this"
He felt in his pocket and brought
out a ring of plain gold; he held it be-
fore her so that she could see within
1t her own initials and his and blank
left for the date. Her gaze went from
it for an instant to the box where he
had put back the other ring-Alan's
mothers. Feeling for her long ago
gazing thus, as she must have, at that
ring, held her for a moment. Was it
because of that that Constance found
herself cold now?
You mean you want me to marry
you-at once Henry?"
He drew her to him powerfully; she
felt him warm, almost rough with
passions. Since that day when. in
Alan Conrad's presence, he had
grasped and kissed her, she had not
let him realize" their engagement, as
he had put it.
"Why not?" he turned her face up
to his now. "YOur mothers here; your
father will follow soon; or, If you will,
we'll run away-Constancel You've
kept me off so longi You don't be-

"Then we're going to be married.
Right away, well have it then;

NO; not now, Henry. Not up
herer
Not here? Why not?"
She could give no answer. He held
her and commanded her again; only
when he frightened her he ceased.
"Why must it be at once, Henry?
don't understand"
Its not must, dear" he denied.
TITS just that / want you SOL"
When would il be. he demanded
then; before spri3g. she promised AT
last. But that was all he could make
her say. And so he let her go.

net believe, rigorous enforce
ment will concentrate public at
IGNITION on requisite modifca-
