should be the guest, the friend of such people as the Sherrills? No one as yet, since Sherrill had told him he was Corvet's son. had called him by name i; when they did, what would they call him? Alan Conrad still? Or Alan Corvet?
 He noticed, up a street to the west, the lighted sign of a drug store and turned up that way; he had promised, he had recollected now, to write to
 those in KanSaS-he could not call them father" and mother" any more-and tell them what he had dis covered as soon as he arrived He could not tell them that, but he could write them at least that he had ar rived safely and was well. He bought a postcard in the drug store, and wrote just, Arrived safely; am well'' to John Welton in Kansas. There was a little vending machine upon the coun- ter, and he dropped in penny and got a box of matches and put them in his pocket.
 He mailed the card and turned back to Astor street; and he walked more swiftly now, having come to his deci- sion, and only shot one quick look up at the house as he approached it. With what had his father shut himself up within that house for twenty years? And was 1t there still? And was it from that that Benjamin Corvet had fled? He saw no one in the street, and was certain no one was observing him as, taking the key from his pocket, he ran up the steps and unlocked the outer door. Holding this door open to get the light from the street lamp, he fitted the key into the inner door; then he closed the outer door. For full Iy a minute, with fast-beating heart and a sense of expectation of he knew not what, he kept his hand upon the key before he turned it; then he opened the door and stepped into the dark and silent house.

vet, too, was not large man, Alan's own hand was of good size and pow erful, but when he put his fingers over the marks the other man had made, he found that the other hand must have been larger and more powerful than his own Had it been Corvet's Serv ant? It might have been, though the marks seemed too fresh for that; for the servant, Sherrill had said, had left the day Corvet's disappearance was discovered.
 This proof that some one had been prying about in the house before him. self and since Corvet had gone, star tied Alan and angered him. Who had been searching in Benjamin Corvet's in Alan's house? He pushed the drawers shut hastily and hurried across the hall to the room opposite. In this room-plainly Benjamin Cor vets bedroom-were no signs of in trusion He went to the door of the room connecting with it, turned on the light, and looked in.

CHAPTER IV.-Continued.

What Sherrill had told Alan of his father had been iterating itself again and again in Alan'S thoughts; now he recalled that Sherril1 had said that his daughter believed that Corvet's dis appearance had had something to do with her. Alan had wondered at the moment how that could be; and as he watched her across the table and now and then exchanged a comment with her, 1t puzzled him still more. He had opportunity to ask her when she waited with him in the library, after dinner was finished and her mother had gone upstairs; but he did not see then how to go about it.
 "Tm sorry,'' she said to him. "that we can't be home tonight; but perhaps you would rather be aloneP'
 He did not answer that.
 Have you a picture here, Miss Sher- Till, of-Iny father?" he asked.
 "tUncle Benny had had very few pic lures taken; but there is one here."
 She went into the study and came back with book open at a half-tone picture of Benjamin Corvet. Alan took 1t from her and carried it quickly closer to the light. The face that looked up to him from the heavily glazed page was regular of feature, handsome in way, and forceful. There were imagination and vfgor of thought In the broad, smooth fore head; the eyes were strangely moody and breeding; the mouth was gentle. rather kindly; it was a queerly im- polling, haunting face. This was his father! But, as Alan held the picture, gazing down upon it, the only emotion which came to him was realization that he felt none. He had no emotion of any sort; he could not attach to this nan, because he bore the name which some one had told him was his fla ther's, the passions which, when dreaming of his father, he had felt.
 Alan stood still a moment longer, then, remembering the book which he held he drew chair up to the light,

under the top to force 1t up. The pigeonholeS and little drawers In the upper part of the desk, as he swiftly opened them, he found entirely empty. He hurried to the cabinet; the draw CTS of the cabinet too had been forced, and very recently; for the scars and the spIinterS of wood were clean and fresh. These drawers and the draw CTS in the lower part of the desk either were empty, or the papers in them had been disarranged and tum- bIed in confusion, as though some one had examined them hastily and tossed them back. To Alan, the marks of violence and roughness were unmfs- takably the work of the man with the big hands who had left marks upon the top of the chest of drawers; and the feeling that he had been in the house very recently was stronger than ever.
 Alan ran out into the hall and lis tened; he heard no sound; but he went back to the little room more excited than before. For what had the other man been searching? For the same things which Alan was looking for? And had the other man got them? :? Who might the other be, and what might be his connection with Benja min Corvet? Alan had no doubt that everything of importance must have been taken away, but he would make sure of that. He took some of the pa- pers from the drawers and began to examine them; after nearly an hour of this, he had found only one article which appeared connected in any way with what Sherrill had told him or with Alan himself. In one of the little drawers of the desk he found several books, much worn as though from being carried in a pocket, and one of these contained a series of entries stretching over several years These listed an amount-S150-oppo a se- ries of dates with only the year and the month given, and there was an entry for every second month.
 Alan felt his fingers trembling as he turned the pages of the little book and found at the end of the list blank, and below, in the same hand but in writing which had changed slightly with the passage of years. an other date and the confirming entry of S1, 800. Alan looked through the little book again and put it in his pocket. 1t was, beyond doubt, his fathers memorandum of the sums sent to Blue Rapids for Alan it told him that here he had been in his fathers thoughts. He grew warm at the thought as he began putting the other things back into the drawers.
 He started and strengthened sudden ly; then he listened attentively, and his skin, warm an instant before. turned cold and prickled. Somewhere within the house, enthusiastically on the floor below him, a door had slammed. Some one-it was beyond question now, for the realization was quite diff ferent from the feeling he had had about that before-was in the house with him. Was 1t his father

CHAPTER V
An Encounter.

Alan, standing in the darkness of the hall, felt in his pocket for his matches and struck one on the box The light showed the hall in front of him, reaching back into some vague, distant darkness, and great rooms with wide portiered doorways gaping on both sides. He turned into the room upon his right, glanced to see that the shades were drawn on the windows toward the street, then found the switch and turned on the electric light.
 Alan had the feeling which so often comes to one in an unfamiliar and vacant house that there was some one in the house with him. He listened and seemed to hear another sound in the upper hall, footstep. He went out quickly to the foot of the stairs and looked up them.
 'Is any one here?" he called. 'Is any one here?"
 His voice brought no response. He went half way up the curve of the wide stairway and called again, and lis tened; then he fought down the feeling he had had; SherrilI had said there would be no one in the house, and Alan was certain there was no one. So he went back to the room where he had left the light.
 The center of this room, like the room next to it, was occupied by library tab1e-desk. He pulled open some drawers in it; one or two had blueprintS and technical drawings in them; the others had only the miscel lany which accumulates in a room much used. There were drawers also under the bookcases all around the room: they appeared, when Allan opened some of them, to contain pam phlets of various societies, and the scientific correspondence of which Sherri1l had told him. Alan felt that seeing these things was bringing his father closer to him they gave him little of the feeling he had been unable to get when he looked at his fathers picture. He could realize better now the lonely, restless man, pursued by some ghost he could not kill, taking up for distraction one subject of study after another, exhausting each in turn until he could no longer make 1t en- gross him, and then absorbing him. self in the next.
 On the top of a chest of high draw CTS in a corner near the dressing table were some papers. Alan went over to look at them they were fnvf- tations, notices of concerts and of plays twenty years old-the mail, probably, of the morning when Corvet's wife had gone away, left where her maid or she herself had laid them. and only picked up and put back there at the times since when the room was dusted. As Alan touched them, he saw that his fingers left marks in the dust on the smooth top of the chest; he noticed that some one else had touched the things and made marks of the same sort as he had made. The freshness of these other marks star tied him; they had been made within a day or so. They could not have been made by Sherri1l, for Alan had noticed that Sherri1Ts hands were slender and delicately formed; Cor

jap Women Right on the Job.

The Japanese women were quick to
take advantage of the raising of the
ban which formerly prevented them
from taking part in politics. This was
lifted on May 10, and in the evening of
the same day there was a meeting
called at Kobe which was largely at
tended. The attendance was largely
composed of men who were both for
and against suffrage, and the women
speakers had considerable trouble in
making their speeches because of the
Interruptions of the masculine opposi-

women of Japan had been held down
for centuries by having it impressed
upon them that they were first to obey
their parents and then their husbands
and finally their sons when their hus-
bands passed away.
