He filed his pipe and climbed the
staircase to the upper floor. There
were many bedrooms with great four
posted, canopied beds and old-fash-
toned carved furniture of mahogany
and curly-maple, and in one he found
a great cedar-lined chest filled with
bed-linen and naDery, In these room
were more evidences of decay. The
bedroom he mentally chose for his
own was the plainest of all, and was
above the library, fronting the vaga-
bond garden. It had a great black
desk with many glass-knobbed draw
!! ers and a book-rack.
He fingered longest in a room
whose door was painted The Hilarium.
1t had evidently been a nursery and
schoolroom. Here on the walls were
many shelves wound over with net
works of cobwebs, and piled with the
oldest assemblage of toys. There
were school-books, too, thumbed and
~dog-eared, from First Reader to
Caesars Gallo Wars, with names of
small Valiants scrawled on their fly
leaves. He carefully relocked the door
Of this room; he wanted to dust those
toys and books with his own hands.
In the upper hall again he leaned
from the window, shifting the far
flung scent of orchards and peach
blown fence-rows. The soft whirring
sound of a birds wing went past, al
most brushing his startled face, and
the old oaks seemed to stretch their
bent limbs with a faithful brute-like
yawn of pleasure. In the room below
he could hear the vigorous sound OF
Aunt Daphne's hard-driven broom and
the sound flooded the echoing space
with a comfortable commotion.
He went to his trunk and fished out
a soft shirt on which he knotted a
loose tie, exchanged his Panama fol-
a SLOUGH hat, and whistling the bar
carole from Tales of Hoffman,, went
