"THE MASTER KEY"
by
John Fleming Wilson
Now being played i'm moving pictures
at the Ruby Theater every
Tuesday night.

Sir Donald spoke a brief good night
to Everett when they had left the OF.
fee and turned toward the bungalow,
leaving the other to go up to where
the light burned In John DORIS cabin
and tell him OF the events of the even
ing.
He met Ruth at the door and quietly
told her that oil was well. She looked
up at him with her great Eyes filed
with unshed tears and he bent over her
n little.
Then he drew out the master key
and put the ribbon over her head until
the dull brass shone on her white
throat
You are once more the mistress OF
the master key" he said gently. "and
OF my heart"
Something In her expression told him
he had said enough. With a cheerful
word he went away.
But the next day Sir Donald renew,
ed his wooing In such a fashion that
Ruth was sorely put to 1t to keep him
from demanding such cnresses as her
engagement made him rightfully ask
for.
The hardest part was that she per.
ceived that John Dorr now knew that
she Was TO marry Sir Donald.
He did not know. nor ever would.
what that marriage was the price of.
Everett. OF course, bad quietly intro
duced Sir Donald's assertion OF his
new relation to Ruth into his narrative
OF what bad occurred In the office.
John had taken the blow steadily.
but he was not one to walk In the
dark. lie sought out Ruth and In a
few words drew from her the truth.
Now we all know where we stand
John said bravsly. smiling at her
But IL thought you loved me too"
she murmured
THAT doesn't alter the NATTER" he
said ~comfortingly. Nov | must get
to work I've lots to do. wilkerson
aas already started work around the
spur. and ! must begin driving into
the place where your father found
that rich vein. We may drift into II
any day"
Naturally enough the two camps kept
pretty much to themselves. but Tom
Kane carried the gossip to John Dorr,
evidently In an effort to distract his
mind.
The old cook knew that Johns heart
was breaking. and between his love
for each of them he was himself hard
pressed to maintain a cheerful counte-
nance.
"Wilkerson's impatient as ever" he
told John one afternoon. He can't
wait on ~tunneling and such. but he's
going to blow the whole face of his
hill right or. Told his men that dyna,
mite vas better than pick and shovel"
WELL" said John. that may prove
all right At least he'll get a notion OF
what formation be has to deal with"
Later that same day Kane announced
that wilkerson was going to set or
the biggest battery OF shots ever tried
in the valley.
Al a consequence Faversham. Ruth.
John. Everett and many others went
across the gulch toward evening to
watch the show.
Old Tom Kane waggied his gray
head doubtfully as he related how

was felled by blow from pick
ax handle welded by Bolivia. He was

told the men where to dig. They found
the body under nine feet of earth. the
house having been torn down and the
cellar filed in after the Matronis

marriage to Matroni's stcpdaughter
she told him that NIatroni had at
