At night he would walk into town and wait around, hoping to see his victim. But the old man was wary and nearly always traveled in company. If Lozcoski had possessed a revolver he could have made short work of him, but having no means to procure any he had to wait for a personal encounter. The night he came to the Social-house he had been three days without food, and was insane with hunger.
It took a stove and kitchen, but they used the one in the Social-house, going to and fro in procession, with a teacher in charge. It was indeed a novel school, and one just out from a stiff, starched, eastern graded Grammar school might have raised his hands in holy horror.
It was an honest rivalry, which hurt nobody, and the men, better fed at their evening meal, began to linger at home to join in the children's geographical and other games, picked up at school, or to accompany their families over to the Social-house, to listen to the orchestra made up of their older sons, to hear Miss Lavillotte play and sing, to witness an exhibition of kinetoscope pictures, or sometimes just to meet other friends and simply bask in the light and ease of the pretty rooms.
"I was going to give a few more details about the Pole. You knew about the way he acted in the Social-house his ravenous ways over the food?" "Yes, I saw him," shuddering a little. "He had been starving for three days. The officers were fast on his track and arrested him hot from the fight. Had he not seen Murfree I presume he would have made his way back to the woods safely.
When Leon heard about the Pole who had shipped for a short time on the "Terror," he listened to the talk of him with interest, and asked permission to accompany Joyce and her manager at their next interview. Lozcoski, now well fed, and filled with hope and comfort, through the communications of the interpreter, was not the same man who had burst his way into the Social-house a few weeks ago.
Who built the school, and the church, and the Social-house?" "Do you like the new, so much better than the old, way, Lucy? You have had great sorrows since these changes, child." Joyce leaned forward to the girl, kindly. "I know, but if it had come before! How dreadful hungry and wretched we'd have been! And how would it have gone with Nate?
"Then let him tell about the night he came to the Social-house," suggested the "queen," and the narrative was resumed. It was not long. Lozcoski, while in prison, brooded over the wrong done him, day and night.
