down this boulevard; then, with a
sudden, Here we are !" she shot the
car To the curb and stopped. She led
Alan into one of the talIest and best
looking buildings.
On several of the doors opening upon
the wide marble hall where the eleva-
tor left them, Alan saw the names,
"Corvet, Sheriff. and Spearman."
Constance led the way on past to a
door farther down the corridor, which
bore merely the name, Lawrence
Sheriff.; evidently Sheriff., who had
interests aside from the shipping bust
ness, had Offices connected with but
not actually a part of the offices of
Coryet, Sheriff. and Spearman. A girl
on guard at the door, saying that Mr..
Sheriff. had been awaiting Mr.. Con-
rad, opened an inner door and led
Alan into a large, many-windowed
room, where Sheriff. was sitting alone
before a tabIe-desk. He pulled the
visitors chair" rather close to his
desk and to his own big leather chair
before asking Alan to seat himself.
"You wanted 10 tell mr.. or ask me.

CHAPTER VII.
Mr.. corvet's Partner.

The instant of meeting, when Alan
recognized in Sherrill's partner, the
man with whom he had fought In Cor
vets house, was one OF swift readjust-
ment of all his thought-adjustment
to a situation of which he could not
even have dreamed. and which left
him breathless. But for Spearman,
obviously. 1t was not that. Following
his noncommittal nod OF acknowledge
ment of SherriIrs introduction and his
first steady scrutiny Of Alan, the big,
handsome man swung himself off from
the desk on which he sat and leaned
against 1t. facing them o directly.
"0h, yes-Conrad," he said. His
tone was hearty; in It Alan could rec

might be expected from Sherrilrs

opposition. The ~shipmasters, looking

Memory, If Alan could call 1t that,
had given him a feeling for ships and
for the lake. But these recollections
were only what those OF a th~ree-years'
child might have been. Not only did
they refuse to connect themselves with
anything else, but by the very rinality
Of their isolation, they warned him
that they-and perhaps a few more
vague memories of similar sort-were
all that recollection ever would give
him. He caught himself together and
turned his thoughts to the approach

offices. He had accepted Constance
Sherrills invitation to drive him.
downtown to his destination.
Observing the towering buildings to
his right, he was able to identify some
of the more prominent structures, ia
miliar from photographs of the city.

~unsteadily. The list of properties he
had read and the letter and Sherrill's
statement portended so much that its
meaning could not all come to him at
ace He followed Sheriff. through Il
short private corridor, tlanked with
files lettered "Corvet, Sheriff., and
Spearman,' into the large room he had
seen when he catae In with Constance.
They crossed this, and Sheriff., with
out knocking, opened the door OF the
office marked, "Mr. Spearman." Alan,
looking oh past Sheriff. as the door
opened, saw that there were some half
dozen men In the room, smoking and
talking. His gaze went swiftly on past
these men to the one who, half seated
on the top of the fiat desk, had been
talking to them and his pulse closed
upon his heart with a shock he start
ed, choked with establishment, then
swiftly forced himself under control.
For this was the man whom he had
met and whom he had fought In Ben
jamin Corvrt's house the night before
the big man surprised In his bias.

CHAPTER V.-Continued.

Alan took up his hat and looked
about the house; he was going to re-
turn and sleep here, Of curse he was
not going to leave the house unguard-
ed for any long time after this, but.
after what had just happened, he felt
he could leave it safely for half an
hour, particularly If he left a light
burning within.
He did this and stepped over TO the
Sherrills'. The man who answered his
ring recognized him at once and adj
mitted him in reply to Alan's ques-
ton, the servant said that Mr.. Sheriff.
had not yet returned. When Alan
went TO his room, the valet appeared
and, finding that Alan was packing,
the man offered his service. Alan let
him pack and went downstairs; a mo-
