someone has been skulking about the village, and that your shop
building has been occupied and probably by that person. But for
more than a week everything was quiet. No smoke was seen and no
one saw any suspicious person and it was decided that the
mysterious stranger had departed. But night before last something
happened to arouse suspicion again. The men who came to me
declare that the tramp or stranger came back at that time and is still
here. They say he is in your shop at this moment. The building is
being watched now, and they are only awaiting my return to enter
and arrest whomever they may find within.”
He rose. “You know nothing about it, Mrs. Lorraine, but there’s
nothing to do but to allow them to proceed?”
 The echoes of the thundering knocks had hardly died
away ... when Alice Lorraine appeared.
“No. Mr. Langley, there isn’t,” she acknowledged, and asked him if he
was going thither. And when he said that he was she asked if she
might go along. He acquiesced. After she had spoken to Miss Penny,
Mr. Langley handed her into the carriage and they drove to the lane
where the minister gave the horse in charge to someone standing
about. Going straight to the shop, they found the three men Mr.
Langley had seen and the constable.
The latter pounded on the door preliminary to breaking it in. He
waited a few seconds. The echoes of the thundering knocks had
hardly died away when the door opened and Alice Lorraine appeared
before the five men and her mother.
 CHAPTER XXI
PUSHING by Alice Lorraine, deaf to her entreaties, the constable and
two of the men made their way into the shop and after an hasty
glance about the lower room hastened upstairs. Mr. Langley, after a
brief word to Mrs. Lorraine, followed. And despite his haste and
excitement and perturbation, he noticed the homelike appearance of
the place he recollected as a littered work shop.
But of the upper chamber he noted no detail. As his head rose
above the railing of the stair, he saw the men start back from the
further end of the place. Peering into the shadows, he saw the figure
of a man stretched upon an old couch. Approaching, he saw that he
was burning with fever and unconscious. The man, who was very
tall, was not at all the tramp in appearance, though he seemed to
have slept in his clothes. He was well dressed and a superficial view
pronounced him of refined presence. He was like a skeleton,
however, and his purple face cadaverous to the extreme.
Mr. Langley asked one of the men to go for the doctor, sending Mrs.
Lorraine up as he went. The constable said he would wait below.
The other man took a chair in the further end of the room as Mrs.
Lorraine joined Mr. Langley by the couch.
“Do you know this man?” he asked.
“I never saw him in my life,” she declared, and going to the stairs,
summoned Alice. The girl appeared, white as chalk.
“Alice, do you know this man,” demanded the mother sternly.
“I know him, certainly!” cried the girl defiantly. “He is—he is a
gentleman. He has done no one any harm. He came to Farleigh to
look for someone he knew once, and I told him he might stay here.”
“But if he is a gentleman, how came you here, Alice Lorraine?” cried
her mother.
“I haven’t been here long, and—how could he know it! Look at him,
will you!” the girl cried. But her mother continued to look sternly
upon her.
“He went away,” the girl forced herself to explain. “He was coming
back before he went West where he lives now. He didn’t come and—
I was afraid something had—happened. I came down this afternoon
to look once more and found him—just so. O Mr. Langley, is he
dying, do you think?”
“I shouldn’t judge so. I should say he was in the early stage of a
fever. He is terribly emaciated. He looks starved. The doctor will be
here shortly. Meantime let me see if I can loosen his clothing a bit.”
As he bent over the couch, Alice’s heart went out to him. He seemed
so gentle and tender though he had no idea the man was not a
stranger and probably believed him to be a tramp. As he put his arm
beneath the sick man’s shoulders to change his position, the latter
opened his eyes wide. Mr. Langley started but finished what he was
about.
The doctor came up and Mrs. Lorraine and Alice went below. After
some little time Mr. Langley joined them.
“It is probably pneumonia, or will be within a few hours,” he
announced. “Dr. Porter will send for the ambulance and have him
taken to the hospital at Wenham where he will have the best of
care.”
He turned to Alice with a kind look.
“O mother, couldn’t we take him into the cottage and take care of
him?” cried the girl beseechingly. “He is good and—O, so
unfortunate, and—O if you knew something I know, you couldn’t
refuse. And—if Mr. Langley knew—something else, he would beg you
to.”
Mr. Langley looked at the girl with an odd expression on his face.
“The man’s eyes are exactly like those of a dear friend of mine who
has been dead these six years,” he said keeping his own eyes upon
her the while. “For a moment I forgot all and thought he was Dick
Cartwright.”
Alice wrung her hands.
“Tell me, Alice Lorraine, who is the man above? Is it indeed Dick
Cartwright?” he asked.
“Yes, Mr. Langley, it is,” the girl owned with a great sense of relief.
“He didn’t die. It was another man, but he gave him his name
because he wished to be dead. He only came here to see you and
Reuben. Then he was going back again. I—happened upon him one
day and—after that I tried to help him. He is really——”
Mr. Langley was half way up the stair. Mrs. Lorraine stopped him.
“Tell the doctor we will take him into the cottage,” she bade him.
“Alice and I will go right over to get a bed ready.”
They got the bed ready and Mr. Langley and the doctor carried the
sick man over, undressed him and got him into it. The doctor
secured a nurse and Mr. Langley waited until she should come.
Meanwhile Alice Lorraine related to him and to her mother the whole
story Dick Cartwright had told her.
Mrs. Lorraine remained at the cottage, while Alice returned to Miss
Penny’s. When Mr. Langley took her over he told Miss Penny briefly
who the sick man was, and they discussed the situation as it
concerned Reuben, who was fortunately out of the house at that
moment.
They decided to say nothing to him until after Christmas when Mr.
Langley would tell him the whole story. Reuben could then, if he
wished, stay at the cottage for the remainder of his holidays.
As a matter of fact, Reuben was to remain there considerably longer
than that. When it was time for him to return to college his father
was just out of danger and Reuben did not dream of leaving him. He
did not, indeed, return to college again until the following autumn.
As soon as Dick Cartwright was able to be about the house, Mrs.
Lorraine returned to Miss Penny’s, and Reuben and his father took
the cottage as their home. Reuben got a position in the bank at
Wenham and went back and forth to his work happily. His father
kept house. As he grew stronger, Mr. Langley persuaded him to
practice on the church organ. In the late spring, he was back again
in his old position of organist at Farleigh church, and in the summer
he secured, with Mr. Langley’s help, the position to teach music in
the public schools at Wenham. This gave him a sufficient income not
only to live comfortably but to pay Reuben’s expenses at college.
Reuben, however, still preferred to work his way through, so the
money was saved towards the pipe organ.

To return now to Mr. Langley and the day before Christmas—that

Christmas which was to be the happiest of his life.
He hadn’t realised that he was tired until he opened his own gate
late that afternoon. Then suddenly such a dead weight of fatigue
dropped down upon him that he felt as if he couldn’t crawl to his
own door. Certainly he could never attain the sanctuary of his study
where he could think over the events of the afternoon and realise
the joy that had come to him with the return of his friend as it were
from the gates of death.
Someone came to the door and peered eagerly up the street. It was
Anna Miller. Forgetting himself, Mr. Langley called to her and hurried
up the steps.
“O Anna, is anything wrong?” he asked anxiously, for he would have
thought of her as being somewhere with Rusty and Reuben.
“Wrong!” the girl echoed with ringing voice and beaming face. “O Mr.
Langley, everything is so beautifully right that it seemed as if you
would never, never come. O hurry, please.”
She led him, not as he expected, towards his wife’s door, but into
the front room across the passage from the study. It had been the
parlour but was seldom used now-a-days.
It looked exceedingly cheerful now, but so would the cellar have
looked to Mr. Langley had the potato-bin held the same group that
he saw on the brocaded sofa. Mrs. Langley, bright and alert with
flushed cheeks and not uncomely, despite Seth Miller’s opinion, sat
thereon with Joe, Junior, curled up beside her while Big Bell hung
over them, trying now to make herself inconspicuous and really
appearing to be twice her natural size.
As the minister paused on the threshold, his wife looked up and
smiled. She had actually learned since noon to smile. Or it may be
that she had recollected her old smile of twenty-odd years ago, for
she looked to Russell Langley at that moment like the bride of his
youth, or rather like little Ella May’s mother.
“Russell, what do you think! Anna has offered us this precious baby
as a Christmas gift!” she cried eagerly. “Shall we accept?”
He put Anna into the most comfortable chair in the room and moved
it close to the sofa. Then he seated himself the other side of the
baby whom he bent to kiss. And little Joe repeated what no doubt
seemed to him the pass-word for this household, “baa-baa!”
Mr. Langley turned eagerly to the girl.
“Do you mean it, Anna?” he asked with such a look in his eyes that
Anna could not answer. But she nodded, smiling through tears.
He took the baby into his arms and caressed it.
“I can’t—we can’t begin to tell Anna how happy we shall be nor how
grateful we are to her, can we Ella?” he said warmly.
“We’ll certainly jump at the chance,” Mrs. Langley rejoined,
borrowing Anna’s phraseology with such comical effect that they all
laughed merrily. And little Joe smiled confidently into Anna’s eyes.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend

considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on,
transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright
law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these

on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as,
but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data,

discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of
receiving it, you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you

Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or
deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect
you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission

of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new
computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of
volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project
Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™
collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In
2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was
created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project
Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your
efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project

Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-
profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the
laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status
by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or
federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions
to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax
deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and
your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500

West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact
links and up to date contact information can be found at the
Foundation’s website and official page at
www.gutenberg.org/contact
 Section 4. Information about Donations to
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission
of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works
that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form
accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated
equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly
important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws

regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of
the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform
and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many
fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not
solicit donations in locations where we have not received written
confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine
the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states

where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know
of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from
donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot

make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations
received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp
our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current

donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a
number of other ways including checks, online payments and
credit card donations. To donate, please visit:
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About

Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could
be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose
network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several

printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by
copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus,
we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any
particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new
eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear
about new eBooks.
