Broadfoot, J.
(on motion for rehearing). In our opinion we stated that the statute of limitations was not pleaded *529bby the defendant. We were in error. This defense was not set forth in the original answer but was thereafter pleaded as an amendment. It does not affect the result, however.
In this case services were rendered over a long period of time without agreement as to amount and without a definite date for payment. The circumstances here raise an implication that no compensation was due until the termination of the employment. It could have been terminated by either party. The statute of limitations, therefore, did not commence to run until the employment was ended.
By the Court. — Motion for rehearing denied with $25 costs.
