A Walk Beside the Lake.

"The name seems like Sheriff." the
inferno agreed. "He said II before
when we had him on the table up
stairs; and he has said 1t now twice
distinctly-Sherrill."
His name, do you think?'
II shouldn't say SO; he seems trying
to speak to some one named Sheriff..
There are only four Sherrills In the
telephone book, two of them in Evans
ton and one way out in Minoota."

They're only about six blocks from
where he was picked up; but they're

five Constance Sheriff. was awakened
by the knocking of one of the serv-
ants at her fathers door. Her father
went down stairs to the telephone in
strument where he might reply with
out disturbing Mrs. Sheriff. Constance,
kimona over her shoulders, stood at
the top of the stairs and waited. 1t
became plain to her at once that what
ever had happened had been to Alan
Conrad
"Yes. y. Yes. d. You are
giving him every possible care? :.
At once"
She ran part way down the stairs
and met her father as he came up.
He told her of the situation briefly.
"He was attacked on the street late
last night; he was unconscious when
they found him and took him to the
hospital, and has been unconscious
ever since. No one can say yet how
seriously he is injured"
She waited In the hall while her
father dressed, after calling the ga
rage on the house telephone for him
and ordering the motor. When he had
gone. she returned anxiously to her
rooms he had promised to call her
after reaching the hospital and as soon
as he had learned the particulars of
Alan's condition. 1t was ridiculous,
of course, to attach any responsibility
to her father or herself for what had
happened to Alan-a street attack such
as might have happened to any one
yet she felt that they were in part
responsible. They had let him go to
live alone in the house In Astor street
with no better adviser than Wassa-
guam. Now, and perhaps because
they had not warned him, he had met
injury and, it might be, more than
mere injury; he might be dying.
Something which had disturbed and
excited Alan had happened to him on
the first night he had passed In that
house; and now, 1t appeared, he mad
been prevented from passing second
night there. What had prevented him
had been an attempted robbery upon
the street, her father had said. But
suppose 1t had been something else
than robbery.
She could not formulate more def
initely this thought, but 1t persisted !;
she could not deny 1t entirely and
shake 1t on.
