Chapter One
One dreary evening in the depths of November a stranger rode into town. He stopped his horse in front of a lonely storefront. The windows were boarded shut and the door was locked fast. But the man looked at it, smiled, and said, "It will do."All through the short, gray days and the long, dark nights of November, the man worked.
The townspeople could hear the faint pam pam pam of his hammer and the snish snish snish of his saw.

But no one knew who the man was or what he was doing.
