 The other man pulled a paper out of his pocket and threw it on the ta. ble "Thcrc's a contract for you to sign"
 At this moment the door opened, and Ruth entered She stared mo ment at the visitor and then looked auxiousIy at her father. who said:
 This is an old partner of mine, Ruthy-Harry Wnkcrsou." Ruth shyly looked at the tall strang- CT and then shook hands with him. He held her gentle fingers a second too long Her face flushed and she retired without a backward glance.
 Without paying any more attention to tho old man. who had now subsid. ed into a chair by the table. Wilker- son walked to the window and watch. ed the slim. girlish figure of the young girl tripping down Che bill Then he swung on the old man harshly: Well. ! need a job Ton need new super intendent don't you? | guess Ill take the place"
 He stepped quickly to the window once more. This time be saw Ruth. with Tom Kane. the old cook. and an- other. in front of the cook house.

 Ruth did not draw back. She clinch ed her firm little hand and Wukerson received a blow in the mouth that ! made him stagger back. | At the moment that he received that l sunging blow he heard a movement to | one side of him, and. with the old in stincuve fear of Thomas Gallon, be drew away back with his hand on the gun at his hip. He met the daring eyes of the old mau. who had risen from his seat, and understood that un ] oil life left that decrcpit frame It's mas tering passion-the passion which be could not hope to master-wouId bC love for the girl whom he had just in | suited.
