Exeter Advocate, 1913-4-3, Page 6r.. W . The dog lead followed Owen. Rid- ley up to the bedroom, and when he turned from the dreesitig-tabh he saw that the big Nevvfoundiend '':vaa spread out luxuriously on the hea•rthrug, "You've ,no blisines here, you know, Ruff," he remonstrated, in a tined voice. Glancing, at the el;ocl, he noticed that it was earlier than he lied thought. Ile • pulled up an erni- ehair, "You .can tell I'm in trouble, can't you 7" He stroked the dog's ear, staring unto the fire. He was glad, in a way, that he had stent his wife to some relations for a fortnight. He knew that late- ly he had been depressed and irri- table, foreseeing the catesltrophe mead. She was returning that night, however, and he would have to break the news. How Vera would take it he could mot guess exactly. He hoped that she would spare him reproaohes, for it was through no fault of his own that he was to lose his situs - tion with Dane'hurst's. He would have to thank Kenneth Frome for that. Frome had always disliked and rivalled him. When Ridley first made Vera Thornhill's acquain- tance, Frome had displayed jea- lousy. He was penniless then, and unable to support a wife. Ridley remembered his outburst on hear- ing of their engagement. "You've persuaded her with your money! She'd have waited for me otherwise. She's only marrying you because her people are poor.. She doesn't love Frau, Ridley,' and she never will! But I'll pay you out one day I" Home's insinuation was well founded; he realized that now. Al- though he had been happy enough with Vera during the few months of their life together, he admitted to himself that he had never under- stood her. One, thing was obvious— their marriage had not turned out quite the suoeess he had hoped for. Doubtless she still thought of her other suitor. She had known genteel poverty all her life, and had been afraidto face . more of it with . Kenneth Frome. Now she regretted this. The. irony of Fate., too, had made Frome prosper. With an unexpect- ed legacy, he had joined a rival firm, which was now amalgamating, with Da,nehurst & Co. The staff would consequently be reduced.. Ridley knew that he would have to go. On the previous day he had en- countered Fronie at the office. "So our positions are reversed!" A triumphant smile had acoompan- ied the words. "I suppose you ima- gined your job .here was permanent His meaning was apparent. He would use his influence to have Rid- ley included in the list of those to be discharged. The Newfoundland rubbed ;his massive body against its master's leg. He stretched out his hand again. "T,hat's right; make yourself comfortable, Ruff, old boy. You may not be here much longer." Soon his, search for work must be- gin. He knew how hard it was to find . fresh occupation of any sort, especially at the salary he had been obtaining. It might take Months, and he had saved very little. Ridley smoothed his pet's. rough coat. Somehow. it comforted hien to speak to the d'g. Always fond of animals, he was attached to the Newfoundland for a special reason. It had saved his life that Easter, when he bad in- cautiously bathed alone in a rough sea. Seized with cramp, .and car- ried awae by the current, he had shouted despairingly. Once again he recollected his joy- ful relief on seising the de. ap preach. Clinging to its collar, he hal reached .shallow water again. Now his voice shook a little as he paged its head, "You love me, old boy, if nobody else does." Preceetly he got tap. There wee time for an hour's billiards at his club before Vero returned. Per ha.rrs the game' would occupy his: mind. ' "I'Il leave you hire, .Ruff." The dog was asleep. ".pettier shut, you in, though cls,e you'll prowl all over the hence." Wearily, with oho alders bent, he descended' the stairs. A gesticulating group covered the. pavement near his gate, he noticed when. he turned the street corner on his return. He wondered idly ;viiat could be their reason for snaring up towards the' roofs, "Som;ebode" 4 chimney has taught," he muttered, . eetohing sight of the. smoke. . As he drew nearer a presentirrtent made him quicken his pace. Reach- ing the spot, he partly guessed the truth: Before he could ascend the steps the front dor opened, and their servant rushed out. The girl was white and trembling. "Fire 1" she ecream,erl.

Gentleman came to see you," the maid faltered, "He's in, the sitting -room. , Didn't answer when I tried to make him hear just now." The lower staircase he scaled at a run. Dense smoke met him on the landing. Bending low, he stumbled on. Instantly there flashed into his mind the fact that Ruff was a nri- eoner at the top of the house. Ap- prehension caught him by the throat. He was fighting for breath by the time he reached the sitting -room door. Orawling'in, he dimly dis corned a prostrate figure. Next moment he had lifted the man's head. He gave a choking try of amaze- ment. It was Kenneth Frome. Temptation came to him. He drew back in an agony of indeci- sion. Perhaps there was time to scale the upper flight, and unlatch the bed -room door. This was his enemy. He owed Frome :nothing, and the dog so much. Certainly, if he had. carried Frome to the street, it would be im- possible to: return, whereas now he might release the Newfoundland if he acted at once. -A few seconds' delay, and the chance might be gone. "Ruff 1" ` he murmured hoarsely. "Ruff, old boy I" Others were coming up the stairs. He could; hear them calling wildly. He seized Frame almost roughly. It must be done. Hisdecision was made. He must first save the human life. But he stifled it sob as he struggled down to safety with his burden; and when he would have swung round again, many hands restrained him by force. He fought with them ,frantically. "Can't be donee' a fireman in- sisted, after avain attempt to as- cend. He signalled to a, comrade. "All safe; only a dog." Ridley tried to speak, but could rot manage to utter the retort which came to his laps. '' "Let me .go," he said, with an effort, to the men who gripped his arms. "You needn't hold me` now." He brushed a hind across his eyes. They pointed to the others who were carrying Frome. He fol- lowed blirdly. An anpaea"ching cab stopped a short distenee away. "Let the laxly pass. She lives there. Tell her it's all right 1" Thee led her in Kenneth Frome's direction, telling the story of his rezone. At :that nor ant Ridley re- oog sized who it was. Then they care face to face. "This is the gentleman who saved him, ma'am," Agi'atedly she caught his sleeve. but b::fcre she e•otild speak Ridley irdioated Frome's unconeeious fig- ure. "Don't be afraid, Vera..

Not so much, perhaps, when we were first married; but ,since then— oh, hen.—oh, I've longed for you to segs it—to know it! But you never would !" He looked up ; then -suddenly put his arm around her and pulled her close, "How foolish I've been !" Fora while they sat in silence, rejoicing in their newly -found' hap- piness, Presently Ridley began to speak of his impending trouble. "Yes, he's going to. have me turned out of the office. 'And that's the man I had to rescue!"` He did not mention the dog again? . but she guessed what was in his mind,, and kissed him' sympathe- "As for Mr. Froeme, he can't real ly injure us. We'll be poor, per haps, but we're everything to each other, Owen. Nothing matters but that!" Someone rapped on the door, and Frome himself entered, moving shakily. "The doctor expected mea to lie down for an hour more; but I was worrying. I couldn't rest till I'd seen you both. The people oaf the house said you were here." He leaned against the table, and continued in a hesitating fashion: "First, I'll confess why I'd tailed on you, Ridley.

"Please stay with the firm at vour own salary., There rear be a better opening soon, and then:` recommend you for promotion This isn't only gratitude. I owe it to myself." Ridley hung back, but his wife gently ptishs,d him forward. The two men were .shaking hands when a ting sounded at the front door, and excited voices were raised in the porsage.
