(Continued from last issue) A Walk Beside the Lake. | “The name seems:like Sherrill,” the interne agreed. - “He said it before when we had- him on the table up- stairs; and he has sald it now twica dl!tlnctly—-sherrlll > ¢ “His name, do you think?” ' “I.ghouldn’t say so; he seems trying to speak to some one named Sherrill. There are only four Sherrills in the telephone book, two of them in Evans- ton and one way out in Minoota.” “The other?" “They’re only about six blocks from where he was picked up; but they're on the Drive—the Lawrence Sherrills.” ' The interne whistled softly and looked more interestedly at his pa- tient's features. ‘“He'll be consclous some time during the day, there's only a slight fracture, and—perhaps you'd better call the Sherrill- house, any- way. If he’s not known there, no harm done; and if he's one of their friends and he should .. . ." The nurse nodded and moved off. Thus it was that at a quarter to five Constance Sherrill was awakened by ‘the 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, kimona over her shoulders, stood at the top of the stairs and waited, It - ‘became plain to her at once that what- ever had happened had been to Alan Conrad. “Yes. . . . Yes. . . . Youare 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 the street late last-night; he was unconscious when they found him and:teok him to the hospital, ‘and has been unconscious ever since, No one can say yet how serjously he is injured.” She walted in the hall while her father 'dressed, after calling the ga- rage. on the house telephone for him and ordering the motor. When he had gone, she returned anxiously to her rooms; he had promised to call her after reaching the hospital and as soon 4s he had learned the particulars of Alan's condition. It was ridiculous, of. course, to attach any responsibility to her father or herself for what had happened to Alan—a street attack such as,might have happened to any one —jyet she felt that they were in part Tesponsible. They had let him go to live alone in the house In Astor street with no better adviser than Wassa- quam. Now, and perhaps' because they had not warned him, he had met injury and, it might be, more than mere injury; he might be dying. * Something which had disturbed and excited Alan had happened to him on the first night he had passed in that house; and now, it appeared, he had been prevented from passing a second night there. What had prevented him had been an attempfed robbery upon the street, her father had said. But suppose it had been something clse than robbery. i She could not formulate more def- initely this thought, but it persisted; she could not deny it entirely and shake it off, To Alan Conrad, in the late after- ‘noon of that day, this same thought was coming far more definitely and far more persistently. He had been awake and sane since shortly after noonday, The pain of a head which ached throb- ‘bingly and of a body bruised and sore ‘was beginning to give place to a feel- ing merely of lassitude—a languor <vhich revisited incoherence upon hirm when he tried to think.” The man who had assalled him had meant to Kill; he had not been any ordinary robber. That purpose, blindly recognized and fought against by Alan in their strug- gle, had been unmistakable. Only the chance presence of passersby, who liad heard Alan’s shouts and responded to them, had prevented the execution of Jis purpose, and had driven, theguan to swift flight for mg own, saf A little before slnv(,onnlnwg rill and Spearman called to inquire after him and were adinitted fora few moments to his room. She came to him, bent over him, while she_ spoke the few words of sympnhy the nurse gllowed to her; she stood: back then while Spearman spoke to him. In the succeeding days he .saw her nearly every day, accompanied always by her father or Spearman; it was the full * two tweeks the doctors had insisted on his remaining in the hospital before he saw her alone, They had brought him home, the ‘day before—she and her father, in the' motor—to the house on Astor street. He had insisted on returning there, refasing the room in their house which | they had offered; but the doctor had enjotned outdoors and moderate exer- \cize for him, and she had made him \promise to’ come and walk with hers He went to the Sherrill house about o m— CHAPTER IX, ' il “was for robbery, they said.
