There were new denizens, also.
These had arrived In dozen zinc

amaze Of sleepy express clerk at the

majestically over the lily-ponds of the

of bronze-colored ducks waddled and
preened, and its placid surface rippled
and broke to the sluggish backs Of
goldfish and the flirting fms Of red
Japanese carp.
The house itself wore another air.
Its look of unkemptness had largely
vanished. The soft gray tone of age
remained, but the bleakness and for

He went into the house and to the

flung bow-window was futtering the
papers on the desk and the map on
the wall was tapping sidewise. He
went to straighten 1t, and then saw
what he had not noticed before-that
it covered something that had been let
into the plaster. He swung 1t aside
and made an exclamation.
