"NIiss Cornelia's lying down, Miss
Ruth. She have one of her bad head
aches, and she says as how no one is to
disturb her. And your tea is ready and
waiting, Miss"
Ruth Blake turns into the prim little
dining room, seats herself upon one of
the straight backed chairs and begins to
draw off her brown cotton gloves.
She is an odd little figure, small and
slim, and dressed in a hideous antiquated
plaid, with shades of glaring blue and
green; yet her fair hair-which the wind
and rain have ruffied and made to look
like halo about her meek, small face
painful curve of her lips, and her slightly
flushed cheeks, render her appearance
not altogether unpleasinR.
She eats her simple tea quickly, glane-
ing from time TO time at book which
she has propped up against the milk jug
"a hook Mr.. Stanford mentioned Incl
dentally one day, and which she has OBJ
tanned from the village library.
The next morning Miss Ruth gets a
letter. She knows the handwriting upon
the envelope before she opens it.
