"No, It wasn't all right," she denied
almost fiercely, the flush flooding her

which, for an Instant, stopped her.
“You should have told mo. Henry; or
—I should have been able to see."
"1 couldn't tell you—dear," he said
(he last word very distinctly, but so

She bent toward him, her lipa part

never had really known Henry until

of him always as strong, almost bru

And she had been almost reeily to
marry that man for his strength and

now she knew that he waa merciful
too indeed, more than merciful. In
the very contest where she had
thought of him as most selfish and re
gardless of another, she had most

"I ought to have seen I" she rebuked
herself to him. “Surely, I should have

“How could you see?" he defended
her. “He never showed to you the side

At half-paat three, Alan left the of
fice. Hherrtll had told him an hour
earlier that Spearman had telephoned
be would not be able to get back for
a conference that afternoon; and Alan
was certain now that In Npearman'a
absence Rherrtll would do nothing
further with respect to Ills affairs.
Waa there no ope whom Alan conld
tell of hla encounter with Spearman
In Corvel's house, with probability of
receiving belief? Alan had not been
thinking directly of Constance Sher
rill, aa he walked swiftly north to the
Drive; but she was, tn a way. present
In all hla thoughts. As he approached
the Rherrtll house, he saw standing at
the curb an open roadster with a liv
eried chauffeur: he had seen that road
ster, he recognised with a little start.
In front of the office building that
morning when Constance had taken
him downtown. He turned Into the
walk and rang the bell.
The servant who opened the dor r
knew him and seemed to accept hla
right of entry to the house, for he
drew back for Alan to enter. Alan
went Into the hall and waited for the
servant to follow. "la Mixa Rherrtll
In?" he asked.
•Til see, air." The man disap
peared. Alan, waiting, did not hear
Constance's voice In reply to the an
nouncement of the servant, hut Spear
man's vigorous tones. The servsnt re
turned. “Miss Rherrtll will see you In
s minute, sir.”
Through the wide doorway to the
drawing room, Alan could see the
smaller, portlered entrance to the
room beyond—Rherrlll'a atudy. The
curtains parted, and Constance and
Spearman came Into this Inner door
way; they stood an Instant there In
talk. As Constance started away.
Rpearman suddenly drew her back to
him and kissed her. Alan's shoulder«
spontaneously Jerked back and hla
hands clenched; he Hid not look away
and, aa she approached, she became
aware that he had seen.
Rhe came te him, very quiet and
very flushed; then she was quite pale
as she asked him, “You wanted me?"
He was white as she, snd could not
speak at once. “You told me Inst night,
Miss Sherrill," he said, “that the last
thing that Mr. Corvet did—the last
that you know of—was to warn you
against one of your friends. Who was

She flitlficd uneasily. "You mustn't
attach any Importance to that; I didn't

what Mr. Corvet said, except In Mr.

unrwMMMble animosity—"

announced. “You want some change
about that?"
“No; seven to all right."
Alan went upstairs to the room next
to Corvet'a which he had appropriated
for hie uwn use the night before, and
found It now prepared for hla occu
pancy. When he came down again to
the first floor, Wasaaquam was no-
where about, but be heard sounds In
the service rooms on the basement
floor. He went part way down the

the kitchen, preparing dinner. Wasaa-
quam had not heard his approach, and
Alan stood an Instant watching the
Indian’s tall, thin figure and the quick
movements of hla disproportionately
small well-shaped hands, almost like
a woman's; then he scuffed hla foot
upon the stair, and Wasaaquam turned
swiftly about
“Anybody been here today. Judah?”
Alan asked.
"No, Alan. I called tradesmen; they
came. There were young men from the
newspaiiera.”
“What did you tell them?"
“Nothing."
“Why not?"
"Henry telephoned I was to tell
them nothing."
“You mean Henrv Spearman?"
“Yes."
"Do you take orders from him, Ju-
dah?"
"1 took that order, Alan.”
Alan hesitated. “Yon've been here
tn the house all day?”
“Yes. Alan."
Alan went back to the first floor and
into (be smaller library. The room
waa dark with tbe early winter dusk,
snd he Twitched on tbe light; then be
knelt and pulled out one of the draw
ers he bad seen Spearman searching
through tbe night before, and carefully
examined the papers In It one by one,
but found them only ordinary papers.
He pulled the drawer completely out
and sounded the wall behind It and the
partitions on both sides but they ap
peared solid. He put tbe drawer back
In and went on to examine tbe next
one, and, after that, the others. The
clocks In tbe house had been wound,
for presently the clock In the library
struck six, and auother In tbe hall
chimed slowly. An nour later, when
the clocks chimed again, Alan looked
up and saw Wassaquam’s small black

door. How long (lie Indian had been

"What are you looking for, AlanF
the Indian asked.
Alan reflected a moment. “Mr. Sher

have left a record of some sort here
for me. Judah. Do you know of any
thing like that?"
“No. That to what you are looking
for?"
"Yes. Do you know of any place

Alan went to the lavatory on the

“Hto name, du you thinkF
“1 shouldn't say so; be seems trying

There are ooly four Sherrills In the

“The other?"
“They're only about six blocks from
where be was picked up; but they’re

Tbe interne whistled softly and
looked more Interestedly at hto pa
tient's features. “He'll be conscious

a slight fracture, and—perhaps you'd
better call the Sherrill house, any
way. If he's not known there, no harm

and be should ...”
The nurse nodded and moved off.
Thus It was that at a quarter to
five Constance Sherrill was awakened
by tbe knocking of one of the serv
ants at her father's door. Her father
went down stairs to the telephone In
strument where he might reply with
out disturbing Mrs. Sherrill Constance,
kltnona over her shoulders. Mood at
the top of the stairs and waited. It
became plain to her at once that what
ever bad happened bad been to Alan
Conrad.
“Yea. . . . Yes. . . . 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 tbe 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 to Injured."
She waited in the hall while her
father dressed, after calling the
rage on tbe house telephone for
and ordering the motor. When be bad
gone, she returned anxiously to her
rooms; be bad promised to call her
after reaching the hospital and as soon
as he bad learned the particulars of
Alan's condition. It was ridiculous,
of course, to attach any responsibility
to her father or herself for what bad
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-
quum.
Now, and perhaps because
they had not warned him, he bad met

mere Injury; he might be dying.

night there. What had prevented him
had been an attempted rubbery upon

auppuse it had .,eeu suiueiliiag else
than rubbery.
She could not formulate more def
initely this thought, but It perslMod;
she could not deny It entirely and
«bake it off.
To Alan Conrad, tn tbe tote after
noon of that day, thia same thought
was coming far more definitely end far
more persistently. He had been awake
and sane since shortly sfter noonday.

THE REAL GIFT
For Graduation or the Wedding
A savings account in our bank will give the graduate a practical
start in life—the only gift you can make that will increase in value.
