Her thought waa fol lowing Henry with ever sharpening ap prehension. She rolled the offlre tn mid-evening; It would be open, ahe knew, for messages regarding Uncle Benny and Alan would be expect«"«, there. A clerk answered; no other new a had been received; ■he then uaked Henry'» whereabouts. “Mr Spearman went north late thia afternoon. Ml»» Sherrill,“ the clerk Informe«! her. “North 1 Where?” “We are to communicate with him thia evening to Grand Baplda; after that, to Petoskey." Constanre ronld hear her own heart bent. Why ha<! Henry gone. ahe won dered ; not, certainly, to al«l the search. He hnd gone to—hinder It? CHAPTER XVIII. The Watch Upon the Boaoh. Constance waa throbbing with deter mtnatlon and action, aa ahe found her purse an«l counted the money tn It. She never In her life had gone alone upon an extended journey, much leas been alone upon a train overnight If ■he spoke of auch a thing now, abe would be prevented; no occasion for It would bo recognised ; abe would not be allowed to go. even If “properly ac companied.” She could not there for* risk taking a handbag from the bouse; so ahe throat nlghtdreaa and toilet article» Into her muff and the rooii# pocket of her fur coat. She de- •cended to the aide door of the hottae, galneil the afreet and turned west ward at the flrat corner to ■ street car which would take her to the rail- way atatlon. The manner of buying a railway ticket and of engaging a berth were unknown to her—there had been aerv- anta alwaya to do these thing»—but ■he watched other» and dtd aa they did. She procured a telegraph blank and wrote a message to her mother, telling her that ahe hnd gone north to Join her father. When the train had ■tarted, ahe gave the meaaage to the •— directing him to avnd It from the flrat large town at which they stoprod. OoaaUnce could not, aa yet. place Henry'» part In the atrange rircu in stances which had begun to revcnl themselves with Alan'a coming to Chi cago; but Hi-nry's hope that Uncle Benny and Alan were dead waa begin ning to make that clearer. She lay without voluntary movement In ber berth, but her bosom was »baking with the thoughta which reme to her. Twenty years before. aome dreadful evens hnd altered Unde Benuy's life; bln wife hnd known--or bad learned— enough of that event so that she had left him. It laid seemed to Constance ■nd her father, therefore, that It must have been some Intimate and private •vent. Unde Benny had withdrawn him self from men; ha had ceased to be active In hla bvalneoa and delegated it to others. This change had been strangely advantageous to Henry. Henry had been hardly more than a common seaman then. He had been a mate—the mate on one of Uncle Ben ny’s aht|>a. Quite suddenly he bad become Uncle Benny'a partner. Henry bad explained thia to ber by saying that Uncle Benny bad not trusted lleury; he had been stgaplrtous of him; he had quarreled with him How ■’range. then, that Unde Benny should hare advanced and given way to a man whom he mold not trust 1 Uncle Benny had rome to her and warned her not to marry Henry ; then be had »rot for Alan There had been pttrpoae In these a«ls of Unde Bro ny*a; bad they meant that Unde Ben ny bad been on the verge of making explanation—that explanation which Henry feared—and that he had been -prevented? Her father had thought thia; at leaat, he had thought that Unde Benny must have left smne ex planation In hla bouae. He had told Alan *hat. and had given Alan the key to the house ao that he could And It. Alaa had gone to the bouae ■ In tba bouae Alan had found sone one who had mistaken him for a ghnm. a man who bad cried out at eight of him Something about a ship— about the Mlwaka. the ship of whose loss no one had known anything ex cept by the soundings <rf the Dram What had the man hero doing tn the house? Had he too been looking for the explanation—the explanation that Henry feared? Alan had described the man to her; that deaerlptlon had not had meaning for her before; but now remr-nberlng that dcucrip'lon ahe rould thlak of Henry aa the only one who could have been In that house! Henry had fought with Alan there 1 Afterwards, when Alan had been at tacked upon the street, had Henry anything to do with that? Henry had lied to her about being tn Duluth the night he had fought with Alan; be had not told her the true reuse of hla quarrels with Unde Benny ; he had slshed her to believe that Unde Benny was dead when the wedding ring and watch came to her— the watch which had been Captain S’ ffnrd’a of the Mlwaka I Henry had urged her to marry blip at once. Waa that berenae he wished the security that her father—and ahe—must give her husband when they learned the revelation which Alan or Uncle Ben ny might bring? At I’etoskey ahe went from the train dlredly to the telegraph office. If Henry wns In Petoskey, *hey would know at that office where he could he found; he would be keeping In touch with them. Mr. Spearman, the operator said, had hero at the office early In the day; there had been no message for him; he had left Instructions that any which came were to be forwarded *o him through the men who. under his direction, were patrolling the shore for twenty miles north of Little Trav erse, wntchlng for boats. Constance crossed the frosen edges of the hay by sledge to Harbor IM nt. Her distrust now had deep ened to terrible dread. She had not been able before thia to form any defi nite Idea of how Henry could threat en Alan and Uncle Benny; she hnd Imagined only vague Interference and obstruction of the search for them; ■be hntl not foreaero that he could so readily assume charge of the search and direct, or misdirect, P- At the Point she discharged the sledge and went on foot to the house of the reretaker who had charge of the Sherrill cottage during the winter. Getting the keys from him, ahe lot herself Into the house. Going to her room, she nnpacked a heavy sweater ■nd woolen rep and short fur coat— winter things which wore left' there agnlnat use when they opened the house sometime» out of »«-»son—»n<1 put thqm on. Then ahe went down and found her snowshoe» Stopping at the telephone, she relied long di» tn nee and asked them to locate Mr. Sherrill, If iwaslble. »nd Instruct him to move south along the shore with whomever he had with him. She went out then, and fastened on her snow shoes. Constance hurried westward and then north, following the bend of tba shore Di- Hznrv of a man—one of the shore patrols—peeing the Ire hum mock» of the beuch and staring out U| m > ii the lake, appeure«l vaguely Io lhe dnak when »he hail goue about two miles. She reme, three quarters of a mile farther on, to a second man; ■bout an e«|ual distance beyond ahe found a third, but passed him and went on. Iler legs ached now with the unac- customed travel upon snowshoes; the cold, which had been only a piercing chill at first, waa stopping feeling, al most stopping thought She was hop rifled to And that she was growing weak ami that her senses were becoin- tng confused. She had come. In all, perhaps right miles; and she wn» “playing out” She descended to the beach again and went on; her gate continued to search the lake, but now, wherever there waa a break in the Muffs, ahe looked trrward the ahore as well. At the third of these breaks, the yellow glow of a window appears«!, marking a house Io a hollow between ■now-shrouded hills. She timed ea gerly that way; she could go only very atowfy now. There waa no path; at leaat. if there was, the snow drifts bld It ■be stra—led to the doer and knorkri upon It, and receiving no re ply. she trot t>;x>n It with both fists “Who’s here?" she cried. “Who's borer The door opened then a very little, ■nd the frightroed fare of an Indian woman appeared in the crack. The woman evidently bad expected—and feared—some arrival, and was rea» ■■rad when she saw only ■ girl. She threw the door wider open, and bent to help unfasten Constance’s anow- •hoee: having done that ahe led her In and rlosed the door. “Tiber* Is your man?" Cons*aoc* had caught the woman’s arm “They sent him to the beach. A ship has sunk." “Are there houses near here? Too must ron to one of them at once. Bring whoever you can get; or if you won't do that tgll me where to go." The woman ■fared at her s*oiidly ■nd moved away. “None near.** she ■aid. "Besides. you could not get somebody before some one will come" “Who la that?" “He la on the beach—Henry Spear man. He comes here to warm him- ■elf. It la nearly time be romes ■gain." Constance gared at her; the woman waa plainly glad of her coming. Her relief—relief from that fear ahe had been feeling when she opened the door —waa very evident I* was Henry, then, who had frightened her. The Indian woman set a chair for her beside the stove, and put water tn a pan to heat; she shook tea leaves from a box Into a bowl an«l brought a cup. "How many on that ship?" "Altogether there were thirty- nine." Constance replied. "Seven are living then." “Seven? What have you heard? Whnt makes von think so?" •That Is what the Drum says" The Drum I There waa a Drum then 1 At least there waa some sound which people heard and which they called the Drum. For the woman had heard It. (Continued Next Week.) CHILD WAGE EARNERS Perhaps the demoralixing family discipline so common in our day may be partly due to “rusMn<” children out to work entirely too young. There are undoubtedly cases where the needs of the family make it n«-ceasary that the older children become wage earn ers as soon as posaible so as to eke out the father’s or widowed mother's slender income and help to support the younger children of the family, but these are exceptional cases. There is no doubt that many Cath olic parents allow their children to go to work earlier than ■ necessary; and thereby deprive them of an edu cation that would later secure to them better wages and more agreeable avo cations and would permit them to de velop into the manhood and woman hood by the normal and natural pro cess. The lad who left school just as soon as he could procure his working papers is greatly handicapped when he reaches his 18th year, because his wants are increased and he naturally looks for a better paving position, but finds his lack of education a serious drawback. Under such cir- j cumstances many a boy ronsiders he is not fairly treated, and throw» up his position for a better one. It is while waiting for the better job to i turn up that many boys form unde sirable acquaintances on the street , corners and before they realise it they have joined the ranks of those who try to live without working. With the greater facilities for ob taining an attvanced education it is becoming more and more difficult without a high school diploma to get a position above the rank of an office hoy or messenger.

And little plum trees in a row. LENTS, OREGON My trt-ea have grown—they blossom well. And every year my wife doth tell How plums hnd pears and grapes will ■well Our stock of fruit preserves and jell. SATURDAY, SEPT. 16 But while my perar» are very green. No larger than a Lima bean, The passers-by with hunger keen Begin to pick my pear trees clean. Each passer-by pulla off a pear, And when the lower branch is bare The little boys climb up with care And pick the ones they find up there. Sometime« I used to hurry out And run and wave my arms about And shake my fist at them and ■bout— But lately I hare grown too stout. But next year I shall try a trick. I’ll splash the leaves with whitewash thick, And post a notice on a stick: “This fruit has all been eprayed! Don’t pick.” I’ll poet that sign in French and Dutch, Polish and English, Swede and such. I’ll add, “Don’t smell, don’t taste, don’t touch!” I’ll splash the whitewash very much. But wife is pessimistic quite: She says ’twill whet their appetite. —Frances Lester Warner. Tie Greatest Race Track Drama Ever St^ei WHERE BEAUTY LIVES A STORY OF THE RACE TRACKS, WITH FAR MORE THRILLING ACTION THAN “OLD KEN TUCKY,” ALSO ‘STUDIO RUBE,” AN AL ST. JOHN’S COMEDY, AND THE LATEST NEWS. S csmo - m btf PAUL M- SLOANE Not in one spot does Beauty make her home. She haunts the smoky marsh where herons hide. And sun-bridged trees; down aisles of ocean foam, She walks, and on snow peaks where moonbeams glide. To her are known the honey gates of flowers. Blue balustrades of dusk—gray halls of rain— Night’s dew built fanes—the morn ing’s rapturous towers. She romp« with red-cheeked apples in the lane. Yet Beauty builds supreme the sing ing heart. Makes young lips elotjuent for lov ers' ears; Heals hands toil-marred in mother hood's high art, 'Shrines grief-sick eyes that drain life’s cup of tears. These Beauty keeps immune from scorn or blame. From time's soiled touch, or wither ing kiss of shame. —J. Corson Miller, in America.
