 He stepped out of the cabin, think ing to sit upon the doorstep a while
 The moon was not due till midnight but the sky was already spiked with stars; and so blue and deep that it appeared to have no bottom. A good eye seemed to be all that was needed to see clear through.
 The bottom grew again in the sky; the stars came back out of the deep azure. The mans eyes opened. IF was the sound of oars that opened them. For the first moment he did not know that he had been asleep. A glance at the east, all a-fare with the close coming of the moon, convinced him that he had Slept-fOr hours.
 Midnight. What were oars doing on the Wabash at midnight? The Creak- ing of them, accompanied by the dull clupp-clupp of the oar locks, drew nearer. Presently there came the gruff tones of men. surly, and short-spoken.
 When even with the house-bOat the rowing ceased, and he knew the boat was being allowed to drift.
