"They tried to get your father at the

His gaze went on past her to the

their significance; for his face whit

came suddenly upon him.

"He's-dead?"

CHAPTER X.
A Caller.

As the first of the month was ap-
his household bills and budget to Alan
that morning directly after breakfast.
To furnish Alan with whatever sums
he needed, Sheriff. had made .consid-
cradle deposit In Alan's name In the
bank where he carried his own ac-
count: and Alan had accompanied Sher-
rill to the bank to be introduced and
had signed the necessary cards in or
der to check against the deposit.
Alan had required barely half of the
hundred dollars which Benjamin Cor
vet had sent to Blue Rapids, for his
expenses in Chicago; and he had
brought with him from "home" hun
dred dollars of his own.
The amount which Wassauuam now
desired to pay the bills was much
more than Alan had on hand but that
amount was also much less than the
eleven hundred dollars which the serv4
ant listed as cash on hand. This, Was
kept by him. Benjamin always had
had him keep that much In the house !;
Wassaquam would not touch that sum
now for the payment of current ex-
penses.
On the first of the month, therefore,
Alan drew upon his new bank account
to Wassaquam's order, and in the early
afternoon Wassaquam went to the
bank to cash his check--one of the
very few occasions when Alan had
been left in the house alone; Wassa.
quam's habit, 1t appeared, was to go
about on the first of the month and
pay the tradesmen In person.
Some two hours later, and before
Wassaquam coyld have been expected
back, Alan, in the room which had be-
come his, was startled by sound Of
keavy pounding, which came suddenly
to him from floor below. Shouts
heavy, thick, and uninteliigible-min
gled with the pounding. He ran swift
ly down the stairs, then on and down
the service stairs into the basement.
The door to the house from the area
way was shaking to irregular, heavy
blows which stopped as Alan reached
the lower hallway; the shouts contin-
ued still moment more. Now that
the noise of pounding did not inter-
fere, Alan could make out what the
man was saying. Ben Corvet"-
the name was almost unintelligible-
ben Corveti Benz" Then the shouts
stopped, too.

back the latch. The door bore back
upon him, not from push, but from
IA weight without which had fallen
against it. A big, heavy man, with a
rough cap and mackinaw coat, would
have fallen upon the floor II Alan had
not caught him. His weight In Alan's
arms was so dull, so inert, that, II vlO-
ience had been his Intention. there was
nothing to be feared from him now.
Alan looked up, therefore, to see II
any one had come with him. The alley
and the street were clear. The snow

bad come to the door alone and with
great difficulty; he had fallen once up
on the walk. Alan dragged the man
into the house and went back and
closed the door.
He returned and looked al him. The
man was like, very like the one whom
Alan had followed from the house or
the night when he was attacked: Ger
tainty that this was the same mar
came quickly to him. He seized the
Yellow again and dragged him up th'
