the occasional soft tread of some
servant, he twisted himself about in
his chair and looked around. Who
were these Sherrills? Who was Cor
vet. and what was his relation to the
Sherrills? What, beyond all, was their
and Corvets relation to Alan Conrad
to himself? The shock and confusion
he had felt at the nature of his recep-
ton in Corvet's house, and the strange
ness of his transition from his little
Kansas town to a place and people
such as this, had prevented him from
inquiring directly from Constance
Sheriff. as to that; and, on her part,
she had assumed, plainly, that he
already knew and need not be told.
He Strengthened and looked about,
then got up, as Constance Sheriff.
came back into the room.

said. 1--WE weren't sure from your
telegram exactly at what hour you

She hesitated an instant in the door

She halted. "Yes."

here hoping to find out"
She came back toward him slowly.
what do you mean?" she asked.
He fought down and controlled
resolutely the excitement in his voice.
as he told her rapidly the little he
knew about himself.
He could not tell definitely how she
was affected by what he said. She
flushed slightly, following her first
start of surprise after he had begun
to speak; when he had finished, he
saw that she was little pale.
"Then you don't know anything
about Mr.. Corvet at ALL" she said.
No; until got his letter sending
for me here, I'd never seen or heard
his name"
She was thoughtful for a moment.
THANK you for telling me-" she said.
I'll tell my father when he comes.
Your father isl" he ventured.
She understood now that the name
of Sheriff. had meant nothing to him.
Father Is Mr.. Corvet's closest friend
and his business partner as we'll" she
explained.
He thought she was going to tell
MIN something more about them: but
she seemed to decide to leave that for
her father to do. She crossed to the
big chair beside the crate and seated
herself. AS she sat looking at him
hands clasped beneath her chin. and
her elbows resting on the arm of the
chair, there was speculation and in.

therefore that void out there beyond
the park was the lake or, at least, the
harbor A different air seemed TO
come from It; sounds . Suddenly
it all was shut of; the taNicao'

The sound. Alan knew, had been

many minutes; now it overwhelmed.

great, not loud; all sound which Alan
had heard before, except the soushing
of the wind over his prairies. came
from one point; even the monstrous
city murmur was centered in compari-
son with this. over the lake, as over
the land. the soft snowfiakes laZily
floated down. scarcely stirred by the
slightest breeze; that roar was the
voice of the water, that awful power
its own.
Alan choked and gasped for breath,
his pulses pounding in his throat; he
had snatched of his hat and. leaning
out of the window sucked the lake air
in his lungs. There had been nothing
to make him expect This overwhelming
crush OF feeling. The lake-he had
thought of it, of course, as a great
body Of water, an interesting sight
for a prairie boy to see; that was all.
No physical experience in all his
memory had affected him like this;
and it was without warning; the
strange thing that had stirred within
him as the car brought him to the
Drive downtown was strengthened
now a thousand-fold it amazed, half
frightened. half dizzied him. Now, as
the motor suddenly swung around a
corner and shut the sight of the lake
from him, Alan sat back breathless.
The car swerved to the east curb

came to a stop. The house before
which it had halted was large stone

only glanced at them long enough to
get that impression before he opened
the cab door and got out; but as the
cab drove away, he stood beside his
suitcase looking up at the old house
which bore the number given in Ben
jamin Corvet's letter, then around at
the other houses and back to that
again.
The neighborhood obviously pre-
cluded the probability of Corvet's be-
ing merely a lawyer-a go-between.
He must be some relative; the ques-
ton ever present in Alan's thought
since the receipt of the letter. but held
in allegiance, as to the possibility and
nearness of Corvet's relation to him,
took sharper and more exact form
now than he had dared to let 1t take
before. Was his relationship to

and there was nothing the matter
with your rhyme"
IF the rest of the world thought as
we did of ourselves and of each other
we might be considered fine poets,"
Billy growled cheerfully.
But the trouble is we're not" said
Benjamin.
"Oh WE'LL" said Billy. "even If we
can't be fine poets we have lots of
fun with our rhymes. And then, too,
we wouldn't want to be the whole
world.
"Just suppose we were even good

awkward.
"Why, part of us might want to be
in Asia and part In Africa and part in
America"
THAT would be awkward" said
Benjamin. ut is just as well we are as
we are.
But you know" Benjamin con-
tinuod, that people think beavers do
nothing but work. They speak Of be-
Ing as busy as a beaver.
There Is a saying that goes like
that and sensible saying it Is in a
way. There is no creature who can
work so hard and well and thoroughly
and completely and with so much
thought and care and skill as h

any rate.
But we don't work all the time.
We go off on vacations In the summer

colonies.

"Ah, 1t Is nice to be n beaver and
to work and to rest both with equal
skill and enjoyment.

like mounds with various entrances to
our rooms and tunnels and store
rooms and canals and food basins.

VICTORIA ARRIVES
 IN HEAVY FOG

One hundred miles south from Nome the Victoria struck a heavy ice field and for about fifty miles plowed slowly thru the mass. Upon arri- val in the Nome roadstead the Nor ton Bay ice had so blocked the har- bor that landing was impossible and the boat sailed for St. Michael and unloaded her up river passengers. The outgoing tide caught the Victor ia and held her on the mud flats for about six hours but did no dam age. Sailing for Nome she arrived here at noon Wednesday June 14th, but the heavy fog prevented landing of passengers until four p. m.
 The Lighterage Company were un- able to launch either the tug Gene vieve or any of the lighters from the winter ways and all landing activi- ties were directed from Snake river. small boats being employed.
 The tug Dayton had been launch ed with sling from the dock and was ready in the river to assist un- loading. The Jewel Guard, the Standard and the U boat belonging to W. Wagner were all commandeer- ed to unload the anxious passengers and by midnight Wednesday night all were ashore All the first class mail was landed by the Dayton and distributed by Thursday noon.
 Perishables were landed but no freight has as yet come ashore and judging from present weather con- ditions further delay will ensue be- fore active unloading obtains.
 The vital importance of the Snake river harbor and wharf was clearly demonstrated upon the arrival of this first boat of the season. With out the Harbor no unloading would have been possible. The confined river channel keeps the sea open for a great distance out to sea and en- ables tugs and small boats to ven- ture from the river and to return to the harbor with safety.

HARVEY GRANT INJURED
 BY FALLING TIE

Harvey Grant from the Casade- paga mining district was carrying heavy tie when he stepped on a stretch of smooth ice and dropped the tie on his foot badly bruising the member. Mr. Grant was taken to Solomon and from there to Port Safety. A launch from the Cutter Bear. with Capt. Thos. A. Ross of the local Coast Guard Station, left for Safety to bring both MT Grant and a native boy Sunny Jim to the Nome hospital.
 Ice conditions became serious and the Bear pulled out for Safety to pick up the launch. returning to Nome and landed her passengers at 10 a. m. today. MT. Grant was taken to his home and is resting easy. According to Surgeon Stur- devant no bones have been broken and the injured member will soon be healed.
 Sunny Jim, the native passenger picked up, was shot in the arm while drawing a loaded gun toward him. self. The full load struck his arm between the wrist and elbow. Dr. Welch has hopes that the arm can be saved. The lad was taken to the Columbus-Maynard hospital and will receive the best of treatment.

SENATORIAL FIGHT
STILL In LIMELICHT
Both Democrats And Republicans
Unable To Get Together
On A Candidate.

The real subject of discussion the
present week has been the probable
contests in both parties for the nomi-
nation for the seat in the Senate of
the United States, now held by JOS
eph |. France. The action of Cover
nor Richie, in bringing to trial DR.. j.
Hubert Wade for alleged delinquen-
cies, as member of the Board of
Prison Con rol, has come in as good
second, in the public view, but that
has not been of sufficient importance
to detract from the really absorbing
interest taken by all classes Of people,
both republicans and democrats, IN
the question as to whom shall be
named by the republicans and whom
by the democrats. to hold the seat in
the National Senate after the 4th os
next March.
The fight being made by the twin
organs of the republican party, the

France, has really assumed the pa
thetic stage, so frantic are the efforts
of those two rather insincere apos-
ties of the party of Harding and his
administration. All sorts of attacks
are being made on the Senator, but
the indications are that they are hav-
ing the effect opposite to that desired
for the general belief is that DR..
France is now in such position in
his party, that his nomination is as
sured beyond question. A leading
Western Maryland republican said
that it would be a useless fight to at
tempt to nominate any one else at the
dictation of a Maine Yankee, who
lives in New York, and who happens
to own the two so-called republican
