Seattle — Dr J R Ho wen. president of the Healy River Coal corpora-1
lion, who has just arrived from the North, told the members of the Seat- ,
tie Chamber of Commerce yesterday that the lack of a two-mile spur from
the Alaska railroad at Healy Fork to the properties of his company is all
that :s retarding the development of one of Alaska's largest bituminous
coal fields.
The doctor declared that with adequate transportation facilities, coal
can !'•• mined by the Healy River Coal corporation for one dollar a ton and
laid do»n in Seattle for from $S to SS.50 per ton.
The above clipping merits consideration. For the simple reason that I

Suddenly he turned. Constancy
Sherrill, seeing him from n window of
her home, had caught a cape about her
and run out to him.
"Uncle Renny!" she hailed him with
the affectionate name she had used
with her father's partner since she
wus av baby. "Uncle Benny, aren't
you coming In?"
"Yes," he said vaguely. "Yes, of
course." He made no move but re
mained staring at her. "Connie!" he
exclaimed suddenly, with strange re-1
prnach to himself In his tone. "Con-1
nle! Dear little Connie!"
"Why?" she asked him . "Uncle
Benny, what's the matter?"
"Has Spearman been here today?"
he asked, not looking at her.
"To see father?''
"No; to see you."
"No."
He seized her wrist. "Don't see
him, when he comes!" he commanded.
"Uncle Benny!"
"Don't see hltn!" Corvet repeated,
"lie's asked you to marry him, hasn't
he?"
Connie could not refuse the answer.
"Yes."
"Apa you?"
"Why—why, Uncle Benny, I haven't
answered him yet."
, Then don't—don't, do you under
stand. Connie?"
She hesitated, frightened for him.
"I'll—I'll tell you before I see him. If,
you want me to, Uncle Benny," she
granted.
"But If you shouldn't he able to tell'
me then. Connie: If you shouldn't—

look perplexed her: If he had been
any other man—any man esoent Uncle
Benny—she would have thought some
shameful and terrifying threat hung
over him; hut he broke <>IT sharply,
"I must go home." he said uncertainly.
"I must go home: then I'll come haek.

she was to expect him. During the
night her anxiety grew still greater:

was unanswered. An hour later, she

she called her father at his office, and

Benny, he reminded her, often acted
queerly in bad weather. Only partly
reassured, she called Uncle Benny's
house several more times during the
morning, but still got no reply: and
after luncheon she called her father
again. 10 tell hint that she had re
solved to get some one to go over to
the house with her.
Her father, to her surprise, forbade
this rather sharply; his voice, she
realized, was agitated and excited, and
she asked him the reason: but Instead
of answering her, lie made her repeat
to him her conversation of the after
noon before with Uncle Benny, ami
now he questioned her closely about il.
But when she. .In her turn, tried to
question hltn, he merely put her o!T

that he was coming from Uncle Ken

ball to meet him.
He came in without taking off hat
or coat; she could see that he was
perturbed, greatly agitated.

door, he turned and stopped her.
"I would rather you did not come

know at all what It Is that has hap

I find out."
The finality In Ids tone stopned her
from argument. As the house door nnd
then the door of the limousine closed
after him, she went back toward the
window, slowly taking off the wrap.
For the moment she found It difficult
to think. Something had happened to
Tncle Benny, something terrible,
dreadful for those who loved him:
that was plain, though only the fact
snd not Its nature was known to her
or to her father; and that something
was connected—Intimately connected,
her fat tier bad said—with a name
which no one who knew I'ncle Benny
ever heard before, with the natue of
Alan Conrad of Biue Kapids, Kansas.
Who was this Alan Conrad, unJ what

Benny so to precipitate disaster upon

CHAPTER II
Who Is Alan ConrsdT
The recipient of the letter which
Benjamin Corvet had written and
later so excitedly attempted to re
cover, was asking himself a question
which was- almost the same as the
question which Constance Sherrill had
asked. He ...was; the • second morning
later, waiting for the first of the two
dally eastbnund trains which stopped
at the littlp Kansas town of Blue
Kapids which he called home. As
long as he could look buck into his life,
the question, who is this person they
call Alan Conrad, and what am I to

been the paramount enigma of exist

since he had first noticed the question

Following the arrival of certain
letters, which were distinguished from
most others arriving at the house by
having no Ink writing on the envelope
hut Just a sort of purple or black
printing like newspapers, Alan In
