Adelbert two things: First, that a

one kept In order and repair. For

That evening Adelbert called to see

Truly, a room. Built Of old brick,
and damp, but with a free circulation
of air. Old Adelbert stared about him.
It was not entirely dark. A bit Of
light entered from the aperture at the
head of the steps. By it, even before
Bobby had lighted his candle, he saw
the broken chair, the piece Of old car
pet. and the odds and ends the child
had brought.
Old Adelbert felt %curiously shaken.
"None have visited this place since you
have been here?" he asked.
II don't suppose any n knows
about it. Do you?
