While Tope began to get out the bag, Bee and Mrs. Tope approached the cabin and the girl produced a key. Then, as she tried the knob, she said, in a surprised tone, half to herself: "Why, that's funny! Its unlocked!" She entered and began to raise shades and let in a flood of light, and when Tope followed, with a bag in each hand, she was explaining to Mrs. Tope: "You see, I had all the furniture built in. It's cheaper than buying. Tope set down the bags; and he Saw beds end to end along one wall, and a chest of drawers beyond. The beds appeared to promise comfort The carpenter had built frames to support the springs and sheathed these frames down to the floor, so there was no chance for dust and rubbish to accumulate underneath. There were windows in front and rear and toward the brook; and fireplace at one nd, with birch logs ready for the match, and kindling and a crumpled newspaper under them on the clean hearth upon which, clearly, there had never been B mm cfo And Bee Dewam was saying: Supper will be ready at seven oclock.

I was thinking of something else, Tope confessed; and he asked: Need anything more out of the car? Not for just one night! "We might stay longer, he suggested, and she smiled. Because a brook runs past the door? When I see a place that looks fishy, I always want to try it out, he confessed. Something in his tone made her look at him; but he chuckled disarmingly. She began to unpack the few things they would need. It's nice knowing were the very first ones in here! she suggested. He said, half to himself: I wonder why they didnt turn on the lights. Why should she? Its still broad daylight! Instead of using matches? he persisted, in a deep abstraction; and Mrs. Tope looked at him with amusement. I discover new virtues in you but every day, she remarked, youve unsuspected vices, too! Its time you quit detecting at your time of life, my dear. What are you wondering about now?

Probably the carpenters or the plumbers or the electricians threw them there, when they were finishing up the cabin. They wouldnt be working at night, he insisted. At night? Of course not!

It may have been ten mintues before she heard his step behind her. she Well, ready for supper? asked. He was a moment in answering. Yes, I am. She looked at him inBut you tently, and he added: know, I dont like this cabin, I wonder if Miss Dewain would let us change to one of the others, nearer the road?" Why? You act as though Faraway were haunted! Youll He said in slow apology: have to get used to my notions. I go a lot by them. Well ask her when we go to supper," she promised; and after a moment she said, not looking at him, Of looking at the dark water: course, I know something is bothering you and I know youll tell me when youre ready. But if youre uneasy, suppose we move on, tonight? He shook his head. No, not tonight. Tomorrow, maybe; but not tonight. Her eyes were grave, but she made no comment; and they came down to the Mill together, came into Bee Dewain the bright dining-roowas here alone, and Mrs. Tope said directly: Miss Dewain, may we change And our minds about Faraway? she explained, smiling apologetically: "Mr. Tope lived in an apartment before we were married; and now he isnt happy unless he can hear traffic going by. He wants to be nearer the road. Bee assented. Of course, Ill have Earl shift your bags while we eat supper. Tope asked: Have you a pay station here? The girl said: Yes indeed! She showed him the phone in the closet' under the stairs. When he emerged, he said at once: know. Miss Dewain, I think we have a mutual friend. Adam Bruce?

She went in, and drew the blinds. Then in sudden haste the darkness was affrighting she switched on the lights, and found a magazine in her bag and began obediently to read aloud. Alone in the cabin, her voice went monotonously on and on. But her eyes did not stay fixed on the page. Her nerves were steady enough; yet the steadiest nerves might have been shaken by this necessity of sitting alone, in a small closed cabin with drawn blinds. Adam found the door open. He went in, turned on the lights, closed the door. Some embers of a fire still glowed on the hearth, and he added fresh wood, and stood with his back to the fire, intensely alert, listening for any sound outside, wondering where Tope was, and what the old man had to tell, and how soon he would appear. But almost at once he heard soft footsteps on the turf not on the gravel drive-outs- ide; and then, without knocking, Tope opened the door. He came in, Mrs Tope behind him. Hello, Adam, he said mildly. I didnt expect to see you again so soon, Adam confessed, gripping the others hand. Hello, Mrs. Tope. e Inspector, if this is a chase, Ill take it out of your hide. Im supposed to be back on the job at noon tomorrow. Youll have a job here, Tope Let me give it to you told him. in order, Adam, he explained. So '11 get it straight in my own mind And as Adam nodded, he went on slowly, as if weighing each phrase.

But Mrs. Murrell, not to be silenced, turned her catechism to Whitlock and Beal; and Mrs. Tope saw that Tope watched with an unobtrusive eye. After supper, without apology or excuse, these two men went out of doors; and Tope turned to Mrs. Tope, almost briskly. "Shall we go to our cabin, my dear? he asked. I thought you might read aloud to me a while. Mrs. Tope had never read aloud to him; yet she betrayed no least We surprise at this suggestion. must finish our book, she agreed, and rose. Inspector Tope turned with Mrs. Tope toward their new cabin. It was called Cascade. On the stoop, he paused and looked around. Dusk cloaked them from every view. He made sure of this; and he said in a low tone: Go inside, my dear. Talk, turn on the lights, draw the blinds, Read aloud. Ill come soon.

Tope crossed to touch a match to the paper under the kindling; but s he stooped down, he noticed something lying on the hearth, and held his hand. It was a thing of no apparent importance. Another man, even though be saw it, would have discovered in this object no implications at all. It was simply a match which had been lighted and allowed to burn down till only half an inch of uncharred wood remained. Tope's eye was caught by this match almost completely burned, and he saw two or three more, lying here and there. He had an old habit of noticing unimportant things, of suspecting importance in them; so now before he lighted the fire, he searched in the kindling and in the crumpled paper and on the hearth behind and beneath the logs, till he collected eleven matches Which had like the first been lighted and burned almost to the ends before they were thrown away.
