yer? Thcr? was iiu Tefferherid to give
aid in these speculations. The u<1dress
to which Alan was to eoine was
in Aster street. He had never heard
the name of the street before. Was It
a business street, Oorvet's address In
8onie great office building, perhaps?
At Chicago Alan, following rtie

with the Instructions of the letter,
which he knew by lienrt, he went to

it had begun to snow heavily. For a
few blocks the taxlcnb drove north
post mora or less ordinary buildlrtgs,
then turned east on a broad
boulevard where tall tile and brick
and stone structures towered till theli
roofs were hidden In the snowfall. A
strange stir mid tingle, quite distinct
froni the excitement of the arrival* at
the station, pricked In Alan's veins,
and hastily he drop|M>d the window to
his right and gazed out. The lake,
as he bad known -dace h's geography
days, lay to the east of Chieago;
therefore that void o.tf there hevond
the patK was the lake or, at lt?.st. the
harbor. A different air seemed to
coqio from It; sounds . . . Suddenly
It all was shut off; the tnxicab,
awerrlng a Jit tie. was dashing between
business blocks; a row of buildings
hod linen again upon the right; they
broke Abruptly to show lilin n woodenwalled
chasm In which flowed the
river fnll of Ice with n tug dropping
Its smokestack an It cut below the
bridge which the cnb crossed; buildlugs
on both sides again; then, to the
right, " roaring, heovlng crashing expanse.
The sound, Alan knew, had lieen
opining to him as ap undertone for
many minutes; now It overwhelmed,
swallowed nil other sound. It was
great, not loud; all aonnd which Alan
had heard before, except the soughing
the wind over his prairies, came j
from one point; even the monstrous
city murmur was centered In comparison
with this. Over the lake, as over
the land, the soft snowflukes lazily
floated down, scarcely stirred by the
Slightest breeze; tluit roar was the
VPlce of the water, that awful power
Its own.
Alan choked and gasped for breath.
Me pulses pounding in his throat; he
had snatched off hla hat ami, leaning
out of the window sucked the lake air
In his hings. There had been nothing
to mal(6 him expect this overwhelming

now n thousand-fold; it amazed, half'
frightened, half dizzied him. Now, as
the motor suddenly swung around a
corner and shut the sight of the lake
from hlni, Alan ant hack breathless
The car swerved to the east curb
about the middle of the block and
came to a stop. The house before
which It had halted was n large stone
house of quiet, good design; It was
some generation older, apparently,
limn the houses on each side of It,
which were brick and terra cotta of
recent fashionable architecture; Alan
only glanced at them long enough to
get that Impression before he opened
the cab door and got out; but as the
cab drove away, he stood beside his
suitcase looking up at the old house
which hore the number given In HenJnmln
Corvet's letter, then around at
the other houses and back to that
again.
The neighborhood obviously precluded
the probability of Corvet's being
merely a lawyer?o go-between.
He must be some relative; the question
ever present In Alan's thought
since the receipt of the letter, hut held
In abeyance, as to the possibility and
nearness of Corvet's relation to him,
took sharper and more exact form
now than he had dared to let It take
before. Was his relationship to
Corvet, perhaps, the closest of all relationships?
Was Corvet his . . .
father? He checked the question
within himself, for the time had
passed for mere speculation upon It
now. Alan was trembling excitedly;
for?whoever Corvet might be?the
enigma of Ainu's existence was going
to be answered when he had entered
that house. He wiih going to know
who he was. All the possibilities, the
responsibilities, the attachments, the
opportunities, perhaps, of that person
wlufln he was?but whom, as yet, he
did not know?were before him. He
went up the steps and, with lingers
excitedly unsteady, he pushed the bell
beside the door.
The door opened almost Instantly?
so quickly after the ring, indeed, that
Alan, with Icuplng throb of his heart,
knew that some one must have been
awaiting him. Itut the door opened
only half way, and the man who stood
within, gazing out at AJan questioningly,
was obviously a servant.
"What is it?" he asked, as Alan
stood looking at hltn and past him to
the narrow section of darkened hull
which was in sight.
Alan put his hand over the letter
in his pocket. "I've come to see Mr.
Corvet," lie suid?"Mr. Itenjamln
Corvet."
"What Is your name?"
Alan gave ids name; tlie man re- !
pea ted it after liim, in the manner of
a trained servant, quite without Inflection.
Alan, not fumlllar with such
tones, waited uncertainly. So far as
he could tell, the name was entirely '
strange to the servant, nwukening |
neither welcome nor opposition, but
indifference. The man stepped hack,

It was a girl's voice?this second one, ,
a voice such as Alan never lind heard
liefore. Jt was low and soft lint quite
clear and distinct, with youthful, lin- ^
pulsive modulations and the manner K

with the sort of people who lived in
houses like those on this street. j
The servant, obeying the voice, re- p
turned and opened wide the door.
"Will you come In, sir?"
Alen put down his suitcase on the
stone porch; the man made no move
to pick It up and bring It In. Then tl
