THE THING ON THE HEARTH
45;!5
For that bias I was myself encircled.
I was in an agony of spirit when I
knew that the thing was beginning
to advance. but my very will to aid
was at the time environed."
His voice descended.
He sat motionless, as though the
whole bulk of him were devltalised.
and maintained its outline only by
the inciosing frame of the chair.
"It began. Excellency, on an
August night. There is a chill in
these mountains at sunset. 1 had
put wood into the fireplace. and
lighted it, and was about the house.
The Master, as I hhvo said. had
worked out his formulae.
“He was at leisure. I could not
see him. for the door was closed.
but the odor of his cigar escaped
from the room. It was very client.
I was placing the Master's bed-
candle on the table in the ball. when
I heard his voice. . . . You have
read it, Excellency, as the scriveners
wrote it down before the Judge."
lie paused. .
"It was an exclamation of sur-

prise, of astonishment. Then I
heard the Master net up softly and
go over to the fii‘cpiace. . . . Pres-
ently he returned. lie got a new
cigar. Excellency. clipped it and
lighted it. I could hear the blade
of the knife on the fiber of the
tobacco, and. of course. clearly the
rusp of the match. A moment laicr
I knew that he was in the chair
again. The odor of ignited tobacco
returned. It was some time before
there was another sound in the
room: then suddenly i heard the
Master swear. Ills voice was sharp
and astonished. This time. Ex-
cellency. he got up swiftly and
crossed the room to the fireplace.
I could hear him distinctly. There
was the sound of one tapping on
metal. thumping it. as with the
fingers."
He stopped again. for a. brief mo-
ment. as in reticctlon.
“It was then that the Master un-
locked the door and asked for the
liquor." lie indicated the court
record in my pocket. "I brought it,
:t goblet of brandy. with some cur-
bonnted water. He drank it all
without putting down the glass.

me.
“'Put a log on the fire.’ be said.
"I went in and added wood to the
fire and came out. ‘
"The Master remained in the
doorway; he re‘entered when I came
out, and closed the door behind him.
. There was a long silence after
Master. It began. and cased be-
cause the Master was on his feet
and before the fireplace. I heard
him swear again. and presently "-
turn to his place by the table."
The big Oriental lifted his face
and looked out at the sweep of coun-
try before the window.
“The thing went on. Excellency.
the voice offering its lure. and pro-
senting it in brief flashes of ma-
terialisation. and the Master en-
desvoring to seise and detain the
visitstions. which ceased instantly
at his approach to the hearth."
The man paused.
"I knew the Master contended in
vain against the thing: if he would
acquire possession of what it of-
fered. he must destroy what the
creative forces of the spirit had re-
leased to him." .
Again he paused.
"Toward morning he went out of
the house. 1 could hear him walk-
ing on the gravel before the door.
He would walk the full length of
the house and return. The night
was clear; there was a chill in it.
and every sound was audible.
“That was all. Excellency. The
Master returned s little later and
ascended to his bedroom as usual.”
Then he added:
"It was when I went in to put
wood on the fire that I saw the
footprint 0 the hearth."
There we. a force. compelling and
vivid, in these meager details. the
severe suppression of things. big and
tragic. No elaboration could have
equaled. in eirect. the virtue of this
restraint.
The man was going on. directly.
with the story.
"The following night. Excellency.
the thing happened. The Master
had passed the day in the open. He
dined with a. good appetite. like a
man in health. And there was a
change in his demeanor. He had
the aspect of men who are deter-
mined to have a. thing out at any
hazard.
”After his dinner the Master went
into the drawing-room and closed the
door behind him. He had not en-
tered the room on this day. It had
stood locked and close-shuttered?
The big Oriental paused and made
a gesture outward with his fingers.
as of one dismissing an absurdity.
“No living human being could
have been concealed in that room.
There is only the bare floor. the
Master's table and the fireplace. The
great wood shutters were boiled in,
as thcy had stood since the Master
took the room for a workshop and
removed the furniture. The door
was always locked with that special
thief-proof lock that the American
smiths had made for it. No one
could have entered."
It was the report of the experts at
the trial. They showed by the cus-
ing of rust on the bolts that the
shutters had not been moved; the
walls. ceiling and floor were undis~
turbed; the throat of the chimney
was coated evenly with old soot.
Only the door was possible as an
entry, and this was always locked
except when Rudman was himself in
the room. And at such times the
big Oriental never left his post in the
hall before it. That seemed a candle
tion of his mysterous overcare of
Rodman.
Everybody thought the trial court
went to an excessive care. It scru-
tinized in minute detail every avenue
that could poslbly lead to a. solution
of the mystery. The whole country
and every resident was inquisitioned.
The conclusion was inevitable. There
was no human creature on that
forest crest of the Berkshires but
Rodman and his servant.
But. one can see why the trial
judge kept at the thing; he was
seeking an explanation consistent
with the common experience of
mankind. And when he could not
find it. he did the only thing he
could do. He was wrong. as we
now know. But he had a hold in
the dark on the truth—not the whole
truth by any means; he never had
a glimmer of that. He never had
the faintest conception of the big.
amazing truth. But as I have said,
he had his fingers on one essential
fact.

Yowier the Bob Cat was too wtsa
to waste time hanging around the
new pond of Paddy the Beaver and
Mrs. Paddy after he knew that they
knew he had been trying to catch
them. He went hunting elsewhere,
hoping that after a time they would
forget. . .
But there were other visitors to
that new pond. Indeed. as soon as it
was known that there was s new
pond everybody in the Green Forest
who could travel visited that pond
just out of curiosity. Lightfoot the
Deer, Mrs. Lightfoot ‘and the two
young Deer were amen the early vis-
itors. Buster Bear‘ws ked all around
the new pond and carefully looked
over the new dam. He was wise
enough not to try to walk across on
it, for he knew that it. was not yet.
strong enough.
Mother Bear and the twins, Boxer
and Woof Woof, spent the most of
one moonlight night, there. Of course,
Roddy Fox. Mrs. Reddy and Old
Granny Fox were among the early
visitors. In fact, they came quite
frequently. Old May Coyote took
great interest in what was going on
there. Jumper the Hare couldn't keep
away, but he was one of those who
was seldom seen. He usually kept
safely hidden.
Every day Blacky the Crow man-
aged to pen that way. Sometimes
he was content to fly over the pond,
but often he stopped to watch Paddy
and Mrs. Paddy work and see what
his sharp eyes could discover. Of
course, Sammy Jay was a daily visitor.
Chattercr the Red Squirrel was an-
other who rarely allowed a day to
pass without making a call on Paddy
and Mrs. Paddy.
Paddy and Mrs. Paddy paid no at-
tention to any of these visitors. That
is to say, they didn’t stop to gossi .
They were too busy. They simpy
kept right on with their work. When
any visitors of whom they had the
least fear were about they almost
managed to find work to do in the
winter. When there were visitors of
whom they were not afraid they
