search began; the hired girls room
was looked into; the girl was sleep
ing like freight train going up
hill; nothing under the bed but her
shoes, a broken slat and button
hook; the man was not there, and
the procession moved on; every room,
closet and trunk was searched, and
the procession walked close together
like people that were cold; and when
"Biz'' shivered, it went up the line
like shot from a pump gun. But
long butcher knife whiskers was not
found, and at last he was given up,
but there was no sleep in that house
that night, and they all sat around
the big coal stove hugging their knees
and imagination and telling stories
Of awful things, until the sun rose
over the Capitol building, and the lit
tie old man from the sea, whose duty
it was to build the fires, came down
from his sky parlor bed room, and
was told in hoa'rse whispers of the
night they had put in. Then the old
man told them a quiet jag he had
accumulated the night before, and
took all the credit to himself of curd-
ling their blood. Slow curtain, and
ostrich feathers for breakfast.
