covered; Liddy reported that every
thing was serene among the servants,
and that none of them had been dis,
turbed by the noise. The m%addening
thing, however, was that the nightly
visitor had evidently more than one
way Of gaining access to the house. and
we made arrangements to redOuble
Il vigilance as to windows and doors
that night.
Halsey was inclined to pooh.pooh
the whole affair. He said a break in
the plaster might have occurred
months ago and gone unnoticed, and
that the dust had probably been
stirred up the day before. After all,
we had to let it got at that, but we
put in an uncomfortable Sunday. Ger
trude went to church, and Halsey took
a long walk in the morning Louise
was able to sit up, and she allowed
Halsey and Liddy to assist her down
stairs late in the afternoon. The east
Veranda was shady, green with vines
and palms, cheerful with cushions and
lounging chairs. We put Louise in q
steamer chair, and she sat there
passively enough, her hands Clasped
in her lap.
We were very silent. Halsey sat on
the rail with a pipe, openly watching
Louise, as she looked broodingly
across the valley to the hills. There
was something battling in the girls
eyes; and gradually Halsey's boyish
features lost their glow at seeing her
about again, and settled into grim
lines. He was like his father Just
then.
We sat until late afternoon, Halsey
growing more and more moody. Short
