She stood in the doorway surveying with frown their preoccupied industry.
 "It seems to me, Cal" she comment ed. "that even if you haven't any re gard for the Sabbath you might do bet ter than lead those younger than your self into doing things which might bet ter be left for days which were meant for such things"
 She swished upstairs before Caleb had a chance to answer. But after she had gone Steve looked up from line he was spoolings

And he knew timber knew it with the same infallibility which had even in Mclean always seemed to border upon the uncanny.
 It was Allison himself who first call ed attention to an .unsawed log which was being discarded.

 "Welly said Dexter Allison-and Caleb recovered himself.
 "Well?v he countered, and then they both laughed softly and shook hands. It was their unvaried formula of greet ing, whether they had not seen each other for twenty -four hours or twenty four months.
 And while they were shaking hands the boy turned quickly and reseated himself upon the top step. But Allison gave him more notice than had his daughter Barbara. He stood with his hands in bis pockets, gazing at the averted face, unconcealed and growing amusement in the scrutiny, until Ca leb, not yet aware of the boys woods taught habit of seeing while seeming not to see, was simultaneously annoyed at Allison's fatuous grin and glad of the fact that Steve apparently was looking the other way. After time Allison raised quizzical eyes to Caleb's face.

 Steve took the hand and closed his brown fingers hard upon the puffy white ones. For an instant he stood his eyes, grave and inscrutable, full upon Allison's smaller ones.
