and held out So. The man was taking

and they are the ones l want I'll give
you $15 and no more"
The deeds were produced, and a
glance told her hat they belonged to
Ruth. She paid the money and hur-

Ruth received them cheerfully and
promptly went to her trunk for the

warded. and she lifted a puzzled face
to John. Then she onc more went
through all her belongings. 1t was

Half an hour later John Dorr turned
away from the ash mans door and
said to Everett: "I1l bet that was one

said angrily. And we must be dis

After some argument Wilkerson
agreed. and they decided to go south.
