Henry's pace quickened; hers quick ened de»q»nHely, too. She left the shelter of the trees and scrambled down the ateep pitch of the bluff, shouting. crying aloud. Henry turned about and saw her; he halted, and she passed him with a rush and got be tween him and the form upon the lea, before she turned and faced him.

She ran to the huddled figure of the man In mackinaw and cap; hla face was hidden partly by the position In which be lay and partly by the drift ing snow; but, before she swept the snow sway and turned him to her, she knew that he was Alsn.

She tried tn lift him. to carry him; then to drug him. But ahe could not; he fell from her arms Into the snow again, and she sat down, pulling him upon her lap and clasping him to her. She must have eld, ahe must get him to some house, she must take him out of the terrible cold; but dared ahe leave him? Might Henry return, if ahe went away? She arose and looked about. Far up the shore she saw hla figure rising and falling with hl« flight over the rough Ice. A sound came ta her, too. the low. deep reverberation of the Drum beating once more along the shore and In the woods and out upon the lake; and It seemed to her that Henry's figure, In the stumbling steps of his flight, was keeping time to the wild rhythm of that sound. And she stooped Iff Alan and covered him with her coat, before leaving him; for she feared no longer Henry’s return. CHAPT1R XX RALPH HARRIS CO.

Twe women I” Alaa choked aa he put down the lit tle porcupine quill box which had started this line of inquiry. Whatever questions he had asked Judah or Sher rill these last few days had brought him very quickly hack to her. Moved by some Intuitive certainty regarding Rpearman, she had come north; ahe had not thought of peril to herself; she had struggled alone across danger ous kv iii slorm s gin iiiuught up as •Im bud been! Hha hail found him— Alan—with life almost extinct —upon the beech; she and ths Indian woman Waaasqusm had just said---had brought him along the shore. How had they managed that, be wondered His throat closed up. and bls eyes tilled as he thought of this. In the week during which be bad been cared for here. Also bad not seen Constance; but there bad been a pe culler and exciting alteration In Sher rill's manner toward blm, ha had felt; it was something more than merely Ilk Ing for him that Sherrill bad showed, and flherrill had spoken of her to him as Constance, not, as ho had called her always before. “Miss Sherrill," or "my daughter.“ Alan had had dreams which had seemed Impossible of ful ailment, of dedicating hla Ufa and all that ho could make of It to her; now Rberrill's manner bad brought to him something like awe, as of something quite Incredible. He turned to the Indian. "Has anything more been heard of Spearman, JudahF "Otily this. Alan; he crossed the strsits the next day upon the ferry there. In Mackinaw City he bought Honor at a bar and took It with him; he asked there about trains Into the northwest. He has gone, leaving all he had. What else could be doF Alan crossed the little cabin and looked out the window over the snow- covered slope, where the bright sun was shining. Rnow had covered any tracks that there had been upon the beach where those who had been in the boat with blm bad been found dead. He had known that this must be; be had believed them beyond aid when he had tried for the shore to ■ummoti help for them and for him self. The other boot, which had car ried survivors of the wreck, blown farther to the south, heal been able to gain the shore of North Fox Island; and as these men had not been so long exposed before they were brought to shelter, four men lived. RherrUI had told him their names; they were the mate, the assistant engineer, a deck hand and Father Perron. the priest who had been a passenger but who had stayed with the crew till the last. Ben jamin Corvet had perished In the wreckage of th« cars. As Alan went back to hla chair, the Indian watched him and seemed not displeased. “You feel good, now, AlanF Waasa quam asked. “Almost like myself, Judah." “That la right, then. It was thought you would be like that today. A sled la coming soon, now.“ “We're going to leave here. JudahF •Y m . Alan." Was he going to see her. then? Ex citement stirred him. and he turned to Waasaquam to ask that; but suddenly be hesitated and did not Inquire. Waasaquam brought the mackinaw and cap which Alan had worn on Num ber 28; he took from the bed the new blankets which bad been furnished by Sherrill. They waited until a farmer appeared driving a team hitched to a low, wlderunnerod sled. The Indian settled Alan on the sled, and they drove off. They traveled south along the shore, rounded Into Little Traverse bay, and the houses of Hsrbor Point appeared among thetr pines The sled proceed ed across the edge of the bay to the little city; even before leaving the bay Ice. Alan saw Constance and her fa ther; they were walking at the water front near the railway station, and they came out on the Ice as they recog nised the occupants of the sled. Alan felt himself alternately weak and roused to strength aa he saw her. to see Benjamin Corvet. pinned amid the wreckage and speaking Into the ear of the priest. • •••see It was not merely a confessional which Fa flier Perron bad taken from the ll|>e of the dying mini on Number 28; It was an accusation of crime vgslrist another man aa well; and Ibe confession and accusation both had hern made, not only to gain forglre ■teas from God. but to right terrible wrongs. If the confession left some things unexplsfned, it did not lack con- Urination; the priest had learned enough to he certain that It was no hallucination of msdneos lie had been charged definitely to repeat what had been told blm to the persons be was now going to meet; so he watched ex pectantly upon tbe railway statloo platform at St. Ignace. A tall, hand some man whom Father Perron thought must be the Mr. Sherrill with whom be had communicated appeared upon the car platform; the young man from Number 20 follow«! him, and the two helped down a young and beauti ful girl. They recognized the priest by his dress and came toward blm at once. "Mr. SherrillF Father Perron In quired. Sherrill assented, taking the priest's hand and Introducing hla daughter. “I am glad to see you safe. Mr. Staf ford.” The priest had turned to Alan. "We have thanks to offer up for that you and IF "I am hla sou, then I I thought that must be so.” (Continued Next Week.) k NOTICE Our store will be closed Monday, October 2, 1922, owing to Jewish holiday.

He wanted to speak to her, to make some recognition to her of what she had done, but he did not dare to trust hla voice; and she seemed to un derstand that. He turned to Sherrill Instead. An engine and tender coupled to a single car stood at the railway statlon. “We're going to Ch lea go F he In quired of Sherrill. “Not yet, Alan—to St. Ignace.
