Why do you ask?” “Because—" She hesitated an In- stant, “If. you -were;attacked:to .be killed, 1t meant that: yir must have " 5on of—Mr. Cor- TV that he 'did not go away. You see that, of course.” . ““Were you the-only. one who thought that? Or did some one speak to you about it?” “No one did; I spoke to father. He thought—" Z y + “Yes.” ¥ “Well, if Mr. Coryef T'm following what fat] . murdered—. thought, you . understand—it involved something a “It Must Be a Strange Sensation,” She Observed, “to Know That Someone Has Tried to Kill You.” good deal worse perhaps than any- thing that could have been involved if he had only gone away. -The facts we had made it certain that—if what had - happened to him was death at the hands of another—he must have fore- seen that death and, seeking no pro- tection for“himself . . . it implied, that he preferred to-die rather than to” ask protection—that there was some- thing whose ‘concealment he thought mattered even more to him than life. It—it might have meant that he con- sidered his life was . . . due to whom- ever took it.” Her voice, which had become very low, now ceased. She .was speaking to Alan of his father—a father whoni Ti¢ had never known, and whom he could not have recognized by sight until she showed him the picture a few ‘weeks before; but she was speaking of. his father., R Sherrill didu't’ el that it was, neces though he thought tiiat?” 2 “If. M. Corvet was' dead, ‘we -could ‘do him no good, surely, by telling this to' the police; if the police succeeded | in finding out all the facts, we would be doing only what Uncle Benny did not wish—what he prefe\red death to, ! ‘We could not tell the police about it :without telling them all about Mr. Cor- vet, too. .So father would not let him- self believe that you had been attacked to be killed. He had to.Delieve the | police theory was sufficient.” Alan made no comment ‘at. once. “Wassaquam believes Mr. Corvet is i dead,” he said finally. “He told me so. “Does your father believe that?” . “I think he is beginning to believe It 5 “ _“I've not told any one,” he said, now ‘watching her, “how I happened to be out of the house that night.

He was looking for something—some- ‘thing which he seemed to want .very imuch; when I intérfered, it greatly ex- ‘cited him, 1 frizhtened him. He thought I was a-ghost.” | “A ghost. Whose ghost?” i He shrugged. “I don’t know; jone_whom_he seemed to hay y for him to do’anything, even pretty” well—gnd knew, he thought.” “Why didn’t you tell us this before?” “At leaSt—I am telling you now, | Miss Sherrill. I frightened him, and he got away. But I had seen him plainly. . I can -describe him... .. Yow've talked with-your fatlier of the possibility. that something might ‘hap- pen’ to me’such as, perhaps, happened to®Mr. Corvet: If, anything does bap- pen to me, a description of the man may . . . prove useful.” Then clearly and- definitely as he could, he described Spearman to her. She did ‘not°recognize the:description ; he had, known she would not. Had not Spearman been in Duluth? Beyond i1.that, was riot ‘connection of Spearman with the prowler in Corvet’s house the one connection' of- all-most difficult for. her to make? But he saw her fixing and recording the description in her mind. ... They were:silent as they went on to- ward her home. He had said all he _tould, or' dared to say; to tell her that ‘the man had been Spearman-would not merely have awakened her increduli- ty; it.wopld have destroyed credence utterly. - A"definité change in their re- lation to one another had taken place frankness of the-sympathy there had been between them almost from their first meeting, had gone; she was quite aware, he saw, that he had not.y frankly answered her questions; she was aware that_in some way he had drawn back from her :and‘shut her out from his thoughts about his own position here. But he had known that this must be so; ‘it had been his first definite realization after- his: return to consciousness in the hospital W] knowing now her relation to S man, he had found all questions which concerngd his. relations with the peo- acute by the attack upon him.

Looking:afiter him from the window after she had entered the house, she saw him turn the corner in the direction of Astor street.
