at. The names and addresses on these oldest, yeuowed pages had been first written, 1t was plain, all at the same time and with the same pen and ink, and each sheet in the beginning had contained seven or eight names. Some of these original names and even the addresses had been left unchanged, but most of them had been scratched out and altered many times-other and quite different names had been substituted; the pages had become finally almost illegible, crowded scrawls, rewritten again and again in Corvet's cramped hand. Alan strained forward, holding the first sheet to the light.
 Alan seized the clippings he had looked at before and compared them swiftly with the page he had just read |; two of the names-Westhouse and French-were the same as those upon this list. Suddenly he grasped the other pages of the list and looked them through for his own name; but 1t was not there. He dropped the sheets upon the table and got up and began to stride about the room.
 He felt that in this list and in these clippings there must be, somehow, some one general meaning-they must relate in some way to one thing; they must have deeply, intensely concerned Benjamin Corvet's disappearance and his present fate, whatever that might be, and they must concern Alan's fate as well. But in their disconnection, their fncoherence, he could discern no common thread. What conceivable bond could there have been uniting Benjamin Corvet at once with an old man dying upon a poorfarm in Emmet county, wherever that might be. and with a baby girl, now some two years old, in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin?
 He called Wassaquam into the H. brary and brought the lists and clip pings out again.
 Do you know at all what these are, Judah?" he asked.
 ''No, Alan. I have seen Ben have

Sherrill hesttated, then assented; and they went round the block together to the Corvet house. Sherrill, after a few instants' hesitation, took the key from his pocket and unlocked the door and went in. The rooms, they saw, were all in perfect order; summer covers had been put upon the furniture; pro tecdng cloths had been spread over the beds upstairs. After their inspec- ton, they came out again at the front door, and her father closed it with a snapping of the spring lock.
 Constance, as they walked away, turned and looked back at the old house, gloomy and dark among its newer, fresher-looking neighbors, and suddenly she choked, and her eyes grew wet. That feeling was not for Uncle Benny; the drain of days past had exhausted such surge of feeling for him. That which she could not wink away was for the boy who had come to that house a few weeks ago and for the man who just now had

BLAND OF THE DRUM"

SYNOPSIS.-Wealth and highly placed in the Chicago business world, Benjamin Corvet is some thing of . recluse and mystery to his associates. After Q stormy interview with his partner, Henry spearman, Corvet seeks Constance Sherrill. daughter of his other business partner, Lawrence Sher- Till, and secures from her a prom ise not to marry Spearman until he returns. He then disappears Sher- Till learns COrVet has written to 8 certain Alan Conrad, in Blue Rap ids, Kansas, and exhibited strange agitation over the matter. Alan arrives in Chicago. From a state ment of Sherrin 1t seems prob able Conrad is Corvet's illegittmate son. Corvet has deeded his house and its contents to Alan, who takes possession. That night Alan dis covers a man ransacking Corvet's apartments. The intruder thinks Alan a ghost and raves of the Mi waka." After struggle the man es- capes. Next day Alan learns from sherriu that Corvet has deeded his entire property to him. Introduced to Spearmau, Alan is astonished at the discovery that he Is the man whom he had fought in his house the night before. Spearman laughs at and def1es him Spearman poi sons Constance's mind against Alan. Somebody tries to kill Alan in the night Corvet's Indian serv- ant. WassaQuam, tells Alan he be- heves his employer is dead. He also tells him the legend of the In- dian drum, which according to old superstition beats once for every life lost on the Great Lakes. Twen- ty years before, the great freighter Miwaka had gone down with twenty-five on board, but the Drum had sounded for only twenty-four, leaving the inference that one per son had been. saved Luke, who has long been blackmailfng Corvet, appears, talks jmysteriouslY and dies.

Alan'S passion broke out suddenly. Were anything but that, Judah. l found him, the first night I got here and while you were away. going through my fathers things. I fought with him, and he ran away. He was the one that broke into my fathers desks; maybe you'll believe that, even If no one else will"
 "Yes?" the Indian questioned "Yes?" It was plain that he not only believed but that believing gave him immense satisfaction He took Alan's arm and led him into the smaller H. CTS under the bookshelves-thed drawer, Alan recalled, which he himself had been examining when he had found Wassaquam watching him. He drew out the drawer and dumped its con tents out upon the floor; he turned the drawer about then, and pulled the bottom out of it. Beneath the bottom which he had removed appeared now another bottom and a few sheets of paper scrawled in an uneven hand and with different coIored inks.
 At sight of them, Spearman, who had followed them into the room, ut tered an oath and sprang forward. The Indians small dark hand grasped Spearman's wrist, and his face twitched itself into a fierce grin which showed how little civilization had modified in him the aboriginal passions. But Spearman did not try to force his way; instead, he drew back suddenly.
 Alan stopped and picked up the pa pers and put them in his pocket. If the Indian had not been there, it would not have been so easy for him to do that, he thought

CHAPTER Xi
The Land of the Drum

The Land of the Drum. Alan went with Wassaquam into the front library, after the Indian had shown Spearman out.
 ''This was the man, Judah, who came for MT. Corvet that night was hurt?''
 "Yes, Alan," Wassaquam said.
 "He was the man, then, who came here twice year, at least, to see MT. Corvet?''
 "Yes"
 sI was sure of it." Alan said "Can you tell me now why he came here Judah?'
 . "I have told you I do not know" Wassaquam replied. ''Ben always saw him; Ben gave him money. I do not know why.''
 Alan had been holding his hand over the papers which he had thrust into his pocket; he went back into the smaller library and spread them under the reading lamp to examine them. But, as he looked the pages over now, he felt a chill of disappointment and chagrin. They did not contain any narrative concerning Benjamin Cor vets life; they did not even relate to a single event. They were no narra- tive at all. They were-in his first examination of them, he could not tell what they were.
 They consisted in all of some dozen sheets of irregular size, some of which had been kept much longer than oth- CTS, a few Of which even appeared fresh and new. The three pages which Alan thought, from their vel lowed and worn look, must be the old est, and which must have been kept for many years, contained only a list of names and addresses. The remain ing pages, which he counted as ten in number contained nearly a hun dred brief clippings from newspapers; the clippings had been very carefully cut out, they had been pasted with painful regularity on the sheets, and each had been dated across it's face dates made with many different pens and with many different inks. but all in the same irregular handwriting as the letter whfck Alan had received from Benjamin Corvet.
 Alan, his fingers numb in his disap- pointment, turned and examined all these pages; but they contained noth- ing else. He read one of the clippings, which was dated "Feb. 1912.''
 "The passing away of one of the oldest residents of Emmet county oc- of last week. MT. Fred Westhouse
 
 their parents into Emmet county in 1S46. He established himself here as a farmer and was well known among our people for many years. He was nearly the last of his family, which was quite we'll off at one time, Mr. Westhouse's three brothers and his father having perished in various dis asters upon the lake. His wife died two years ago. He is survived by daughter. Mrs. Arthur Pearl of Flint"
 He read another:
 "Hallford-Spens. On Tuesday last Miss Audrey Ha1lford, daughter of MT. and Mrs. Bert Hal1ford, of this place, was united in the bonds of holy matrimony to MT. Robert Spens, of Escanaba. All wish the young couple we'll"
 He read another:
 "Born to MT. and Mrs. Hal French, a daughter, Saturday afternoon last Miss Vera Arabella French, at her ar rival weighed seven and one-half pounds"
 This clipping was dated, in Benja- min Corvet's hand, "Sturgeon Bay, Wis, Aug. 1914" Alan put 1t aside in bewilderment and amaze and took up again the sheets he first had looked

them, and take them out and put them back. That is all I know"
 Do you know any of these peo- ple?'
 He gave the lists to Wassaquam who studied them through attentively holding them to the lamp.
 "No, Alan"
 Have you ever heard of any of their names before?'
 ''That may be. I do not know. They are common names.'
 ''Do you know the places?'
 "Yes-the places. They are lake ports or little villages on the lakes. I have been in most of them, Alan. Elm met county, Alan, I came from there Henry comes from there, too."
 "Then that is where they hear the Drum?"
 "Yes, Alan.' E My father took newspapers from those places, did he not?"
 Wassaquam looked over the ad- dresses again. "Yes; from all. He took them for the shipping news, he said. And sometimes he cut pieces out of them-these pieces, I see now; and afterward I burned the papers he would not let me only throw them away"
 ''That's all you know about them, Judah?'
 "Yes, Alan that is all.''
 Alan dismissed the Indian, who stolidly methodical in the midst of these events, went downstairs and commenced to prepare a dinner which Alan knew he could not eat Alan got up and moved about the rooms; he went back and looked over the lists and clippings once more; then he moved about again. How strange a picture of his father did these things call up to him. When he had thought of Benjamin Corvet before, 1t had been as Sherrill had described him, pur- sued by some thought he could not conquer, seeking relief in study, in cor respondence with scientific societies, in anything which could engross him and shut out memory. But now he must think of him, not merely as one trying to forget: what had thwarted

Human Life Too Short.

By all the rules which nature ohs serves among humber mammals, 100 years ought to be a very ordinary age for a human being. Where is the mammal which, unless its life is cut short by accident or disease, fails to live to an age five times as great as the time 1t took to reach maturity? A fairly careful survey of the field an- swers Nowhere" Indeed, the ratio of total life to maturity is more likely to be six, seven or eight, than five. But man, whose maturity cannot be placed at less than 20 or %, thinks he Is doing well when he passes three score and ten, and only one out of many thousands reaches the age od one hundred.

CHAPTER XII
The Things From corvet's Pocketa
 Miss Constance SherrilI,

The Things From corvet's Poeketa Miss Constance Sherrill, Harbor Springs, Michigan" The address, in large scrawling let ters, was written across the brown paper of the package which had been brought from the post office in the lit tie resort village only a few moments before. The paper covered a shoe box, crushed and old, bearing the name of ''S. Klug, Dealer in Fine Shoes, Mani- towoc, Wisconsin" The box, like the outside wrapping, was carefully. tied with a string.
 Constance, knowing no one in Mani- towoc and surprised at the nature Of the package, glanced at the postmark on the brown paper which she had re moved; it too was stamped Manito- woe. She cut the strings about the box and took off the cover. A black and brown dotted silk cloth filled the box; and, seeing 1t, Constance caught her breath. It was-at least it was very lfke-the muffler which Uncle Benny used to wear In winter.
 She started with trembling fingers to take it from the box; then, realfz- ing from the weight of the package that the cloth was only a wrapping or, at least, that other things were in the box, she picked up box and wrapping and ran up to her room. She locked the door and put the box upon the bed; now she lifted out the cloth. It was wrapping, for the heavier things came with it; and now, also, it re- vealed itself plainly as the scarf-Un- cle Benny's scarfI A paper fluttered out as she began to unroll it-a little cross-lined leaf evidently torn from a pocket memorandum book. It had been folded and rolled up. She spread it out; writing was upon it, the small irregular letters of Uncle Benny's hand.
 there followed a Chicago addressIthe number of Uncle Benny's house on Astor street. Below this was another line:
 Better care of Constance Sherril (Miss)." There followed the .,her rills' address upon the Drive. And to this was another correction:
 Mot after June 12; then to Harbor Springs, Mich. Ask some one of that be sure the date; after June 12.'
 Constance, trembling, unrolled the scarf; now coins showed from a fold, next a pocketknffe, ruined and rusty, next watch-a mans large gold watch with the case queerly pitted duu WOIu COuplSlcIy lhIOuSh pIdSSS, and last plain little band of gold of the size for a woman's fnger-a we'd ding ring. Constance, gaspfng and with fingers shaking so from excite ment that she could scarcely hold these objects picked them up and ex- amfned them-the ring first.
 It very evidently was, she had immediately thought, a wedding ring once fitted for a finger only trif1e | less slender than her own. One side | of the gold band was very much worn. | not with the sort of wear which a | ring gets on a hand, but by some diff | ferent sort of abrasion The other | side of the band was roughened and | pitted but not so much worn the in- | side still bore the traces of an in- scrfption. "As long as we bo .l all alive" Constance could read, and the date, "June 2. 1891"

CHAPTER x-continued.

But Luke had said nothing about Spearman. It had been Corvet, and Corvet alone of whom Luke had spoken; it was Corvet whom he had accused; it was Corvet who had given him money. Was it conceivable, then, that there had been two such events in Corvet's life? That one of these events, concerned the Miwaka and Spearman and some one-some one with bullet hole above the eye'- who had "got" Corvet; and that the other event had concerned Luke and something else? It was not concefva- ble, Alan was sure; it was all one thing. If Corvet had to do with the Miwaka, then Luke had had to do with 1t too. And Spearman? But if Spear man had been involved in that guilty thing, had not Luke known 1t? Then why had not Luke mentioned Spear man? Or had Spearman not been real ly involved? Had it been, perhaps, only evidence of knowledge of what Corvet had done that Spearman had tried to discover and destroy2
 Alan went to the door and opened 1t, as he heard Spearman upon the steps again. Spearman waited only until the door had been reclosed be- hind him.
 Well. Conrad, what was the idea of bringing Miss SherrilI into this?"
 'I didn't bring her in; I tried the best I could to keep her out"
 "Out of what-exactly
 "You know better than I do. You know exactly what 1t is. You know that man, Spearman; you know what he came here for. I don't mean money; l mean you know why he came here for money, and why he got it. I tried, as well as I could, to make him tell me; but he wouldn't do 1t. There's disgrace of some sort here, of course disgrace that involves my father and, I think, you too. If you're not guilty with my father, you'll help me now; if you are guilty, then, at least, your re- fusal to help will let me know that
 "1 don't know what you're talking about. l told you this man may have been wheelsman on the Corvet; I don't know more about him than that; dou't even know that certainly Of course, knew Ben Corvet was paving blackmail; I've known for years that he was giving up money to some one don't know who he paid it to; or for what"
 The strain of the last few hours was telling upon Alan his skin flushed hot and cold by turns. He paced up and down while he controlled himself.
 '"That's not enough, Spearman," he said finally. live felt you some how, underneath all these things The first time saw you, you were in this house doing something you ought not to have been doing; you fought me then you would have killed me rather than not get away. Two weeks ago, some one attacked me on tie street. for robbery, they said; but I know it wasn't robbery"
 "You're not so crazy as to be trying to involve me in that"
 There came a sound to them from the hall, a sound unmistakably denot- ing some presence. Spearman jerked suddenly up; Alan, going to the door and looking into the hall, saw Wassa- guam. The Indian evidently had re turned to the house some time before he had been bringing to Alan now the accounts which he had settled. He seemed to have been standing in the hall for some time, listening; but he came in now, looking inquiringly from one to the other of them.
