twice--late and alone The young
couple, too. had bade him good might
when he returned. They protested that
it would have been impossible for him
to leave or enter the house without
their knowledge. There he was, sound
asleep as five o'clock. Does a man
commit deed of that Sort and sleep
like an innocent child?
He went about silent as usual for
a few weeks, after which his various
bodily infirmities eliminated in a long
illness, and he was more or less bed
ridden all winter, but seemed able to
hear his lot placidly; in fact, the young
couple thought him rather less melan-
choly than before.
Meanwhile in the sober little village
where one robust sensation might af-
ford entertainme for years, the mo-
tives of the mysterious incendiary were
eXhaustively discussed. The peasants
confronted the gruesome possibility
that their own good farmhouses and fat
barns might blaze up at the touch of the
same miscreant hand. Unimaginative
pates produced and proclaimed mon
strous theories. A certain agitation
and suspicion inhaned late oratory over
