hold your hand awhile."

"Yes," Ruth whispered, patting the hand, her voice ready to choke again. I used to grieve because you were deprived of all the sice thinss a eirl should have because I was so careless when I was young. I had money enough to send you to college, to send you at least to the city, when you wanted so much to go " "I'm glad I didn't," Ruth insisted. "I'd rather stay here with you." . "But I was always a fool with money. Everything I bought turned out a fake. You have your mother's sense. I'm glad of that. You'll be a grat success, where I was a great failure. jool what you're doing you are taking a dead town and making it a live one, and you are building a city where there were only fields " "I'm only helping," Ruth said, her curious shyness coming out again. "Ruth!" he said, after a silence. "Yes, Father?"

"Did vou care very much for Tim?"j Ruth thought rapidly. Then she lied ! bravely. J "I did at the time, but I've been all over it long ago." "I'm glad of that. I wish you liJ ; Williams but there are plenty -of good j

men. .' none you marry somecno worthy of you sometime." There was silence again. Ruth felt her hand tremble,' as she held tight

to her father tightly enough, she felt ,

unconsciously, to keep him from s!ipl.ing away from her. "Ruth." lie said whimsically after a

time. "It's always seemed to me, in.

their deathbeds. I'm not great, but I j

little Mrs. Belding, and herself took charge of all the necessary funeral preparations. Ruth, who had collapsed half way through the morning, was not given anything to do. Mrs. O'Niel even sent the telegrams to relatives who had to be told, for once sparing no expense to "do the thing right," as she expressed it. Langley came in the evening. Ruth was lying on the couch in the big living room the funeral was to be held in the long usused "parlous" on he other side of the house. Mrs. Belding had built a fire of lo?s, and the girl was on the couch before ts warm.h. Langley stretched his great length in an armchair nearby. They aid not talk for awhile. That

was one of the things she enjoyed most

about this unsentimental comrade of hers the long periods of silence that brought no embarrassment to either of ihem. She watched him row as the firelight played over his face. It made Ms uneven profile look still more irregular because it threw strange lights and shadows on his features. Shadows wero in the hollows of h;3 cheeks, around the eyes the small eyes that were so keen and intelligent. The light made his blonde hair still brighter he wore it even longer these day.

p.nd a familiar gesture was to run his fingers through it, brushing ft straight back from his high forehead.

Silly and feminine to go to pieces

like this," Ruth apologized.

little brutally.

"But I had to sit up The nurse an day mother couldn't all night " "You worked all Jay!" In spite of herself, the tears came to her eyes. She was too wt-ak and too nervously worn to keep them baeK. The man was out of his chair and over to her couch in an instant. His arms were .around her, he pulled her close against him. "You poor little kid! I'm a beast to have said that. "No, you were right. I did overwork, and I knew r could not keep it up only I liked sitting with Father at nieht and I'm glad I did, because

J saw a little more of him "

The tears, once started, could cot be checked. "Go on and cry, it's the best, thing to do," Langley said, his arms still around her. Ruth found herself curled up on his lap as though she were a small child, while hi eat in the coiner of the couch. Her head was hidden against bin shoulder and in soiue fashion, one of his big and perfectly con-

ipetent handkerchiefs was in her hands.

"Go on and cry." h said again, won't hurt you, it will do you good." Tomorrow 'ew Plans.
