an attorney in good practice. and
nothing in his pocket and no prospects.
The first two were elderly and unat-
tractive. Atwater was favored by
Ruth's father, Sanders by her mother
and Carter by Ruth herself.
II tell you, ma" said Mr.. Inwood to
his wife while he was shaving one
morning, Ruth is going to take At

that she paid attention to everything
he said, scarcely glancing at Sanders?'
"Pshaw. par replied the lady. Ruth
was using her left eye. That kept
her face turned toward Atwater. She
was really looking at Sanders"
Then followed the usual wrangle
whenever the parents got on this sub
ject.
I 1t so happened that Mr.. Atwater
n Mr.. Sanders made up their minds
to settle the matter between them on
the same evening, and it so happened
that Ruth had that day received a
long admonitlon from her father as to
the folly of letting slip so desirable a
suitor as his favorite and a similar
admonition from her mother as to the
object of her own choice. The poor
girl was In a state Of mind bordering
on insanity when the maid announced
Mr.. Sanders. Ruth went into the par

put an end to the matter. Sanders.

barely seated himself before he began
his proposal with a statement of his

when Mr.. Atwater stepped into the
room. Sanders, who suspected At

and was going right on when he dis.

Ing at his rival. Atwater, who had
caught the direction of Ruth's other
eye, supposed she was looking at San
Gers. The latter stopped speaking,
and the former maintained silence.
Ruth said Sanders presently. "ff
you will give me your attention for a
few moments longer l will leave you
with Mr.. Atwater."
I'm listening" said
"As l was saying" Mr.. Sanders
went on. there is enough for com
fort. nothing for display"
Meanwhile Atwater had caught the
eye that was turned in his direction
and. %supposing that Ruth was not at

speak.
