She could not expect anything but a busy, tiresome day. The gaunt, haggard face of the Pole haunted her by times, and in the train she suddenly remarked to her manager, "I can't feel right over that Lozcoski! Every time I think of him I have a feeling that, somehow, he hasn't had fair play. There was an awful anger and despair in his look when he saw Murfree, and an awful terror met it.
But I'm afraid it is." Each consulted a watch, and looked guiltily at the other. "It has been very short," said Joyce involuntarily. "And very sweet!" added George below his breath. "Well, come on, little parcels. One-two-three-four have I got them all? Why what is it?" The girl's face had a piteous look as it was turned to his. "I had forgotten it all the Hapgoods, Lozcoski, poor Nate!
But Dan, I had just a glimpse of a man pushing his way in, and it made me think of Lozcoski. But such a looking face! It was a mere glimpse, but I could only think of some animal. It wasn't just human. Do you suppose it was him?" "Don't know," said Dan. "Anyhow it's all right, if Murfree keeps out of his way, and he will probably, if he's gone home.
"Yes. Murfree died an hour or two ago, and has left papers that tell the whole story, and exonerate Lozcoski." "How glad I am!" "I knew you would be. There are other things, too. When can I see you?" "Let me see. I have news, too. Lucy has broken down at last, and begged me, all tears and softness, to take her to see poor Nate. We are going in the morning at 8.15.
"You divined it," he murmured. "Yes, to a certain extent. This Lozcoski must have justice, and so so must Murfree." "Yet you will hate to punish him, I can see!" His eyes, looking down into hers, were soft and shining, and held that little twinkle of tender ridicule which he seemed to reserve for her. She no longer resented it, however. She knew the loyalty that tempered it.
As this Lozcoski had seen them together in close companionship, and intimate counsel, he had a right to believe what he did. Such personal business relations, without marriage or betrothal, nearly as sacred and irrevocable, would be an impossibility between two of their age and social standing in his own country.
She spoke a few kind words, telling him his discharge papers would soon be ready and that he was then to report for work in Littleton, if he so desired, and was turning away when, after a quickly-spoken sentence by Lozcoski, the interpreter said explanatorily, "He bids me thank you, lady, and give you the blessing of a man at peace with his God.
"I see you can be patient, Miss Lavillotte. Well, as this Lozcoski set fire to your Works and was imprisoned on that indictment, he has been rearrested to serve out his sentence. He escaped from prison one night when a fire in the dormitories had demoralized the discipline. He " "It's tomin'! It's tomin'! Dere's de lemmade and tookies, Doyce. See, see?"
And what was 'our' business, anyhow?" "Camille, we are both convinced that poor Lozcoski has been unjustly accused, and Murfree is the real criminal. "But why keep that old Murfree out? I should think he deserved all he can get." "I suppose he does, but the poor man is so ill. It's a cruel world, dear but a beautiful one, too!"
"I wanted to say that this escaped criminal does prove to be Lozcoski, the man I told you of who attempted once to fire the Works. He had heaped kindlings, dipped in kerosene, wherever a bit of woodwork gave opportunity to start a blaze. He was caught by Murfree, and " "I telled her, Doyce," panting with the haste of her precipitate return. "I telled her, and she said 'Umph! but I dess she will.
