A week, and Deborah Scoville had
evolved a home out of chaos. That is,
within limits. She had not entered
the judges rooms, nor even offered to
do so. Later, there must be change
So particular a man as the judge
would soon find himself too uncom-
Portable to endure the lack of those
attentions which he had been used to
in Bela's day. He had not even asked
for clean sheets, and sometimes she
had found herself wondering, with a
strange shrinking of her heart, if his
bed was ever made, or whether he had
not been driven at times to lie down in
his clothes.
She had some reason for these
doubtful conclusions. In her ram
blings through the house she had come
upon Bela's room. 1t was in loft
over the kitchen and she had been
much amazed at its condition. In
some respects it looked as decent as
she could expect, but in the matter of
bed and bed clothes it presented an
aspect somewhat startling. The
clothes were there, tossed in a heap
on the floor, but there was no bed in
sight nor anything which could have
served as such.
1t had been dragged out. Evidences
of this were everywhere on the mar
row, twisted staircase. A smile, half
pitiful, half self-scornful, curved her
lips as she remembered the rat-tat-tat
she had heard on that dismal night
when she clung listening to the fence,
and wondered now if it had not been
the humping of this cot sliding from
step to step.
But no! the repeated stroke Of a
hammer is unmistakable. He had
played the carpenter that night as
well as the mover, and with no visible
results. Mystery still reigned in the
house for all the charm and order she
had brought into it; a mystery which
deeply interested her, and which she
yet hoped to solve, Notwithstanding its
remoteness from the real problem of
her existence.
