By AUGUSTUS GOODRICH SHER- WIN. “I'll outlive the three of you!” shouted old Jasper Wriothlesey—“I'll dance on your graves yet!" It was an outburst unworthy of a rational man, but Jasper Wriothlesey was an evilhearted money grubber, and his love for gold caused him to shut out from life the only three men he had ever got very close to in human sense. For ten years the firm of Wrioth- lesey & Co. founders, had done a thriving business in Ironton. Each year had been seen the head of the establishment grow more narrow and grasping, the fact deplored most espe- cially by Robert Morton, the last accession to the firm. It was during the temporary ahsence of the head of the house that Morton had induced the two other partners to make a settlement with a creditor in desper- ate straits, out of pure. sympathy. When old Wriothlesey returned to find that the firm had lost several thousand dollars that he in his hard, qgruel way could have ground out of the unfortunaie debtor, there was a big row. In the heat of passion the firm broke up. In adjusting affairs his partners got justice where Wrioth- lesey had craftily hoped to squeeze them. Madder than ever, he made his wicked vaunt. He took in his son as his partner then, and had just one motive in life— to make of young Rupert as hard a penny-saver and slave-driver as he had been himself. In part he suc- ceeded. It was not easy for Rupert to give up his pleasant social life in Ironton. He rebelled somewhat when very definitely his father threatened to disown him, if he ever even so much as recognized any member of g o “P'll Outlive the Three of Youl™ the families of his former partners. Pretty Bdna Morton was the last one of his old friends Rupert was influ- enced to drift away from. His father 80 speciously inculcated the principles of self interest, however, so liberally added to the wealth of his only son, that Rupert at length gave all his mind to business. Old Jasper Wriothlesey carried out his evil boast. When oue of his part- ners died he actually traveled fifty miles to go out to a quiet cemetery, and, unseen, by any one, prence mad- ly above the ashes of the man he hated. A second partner died. Again the impish instinct, the weird selt glorification of the old man's nature, drove him to keep his threat. He died himself two days later. Then Rupert became sole owner of the business. For a time in settling up the affairs of the estate he was entirely engrossed. Then he drifted naturally into assuming the proprie- tary responsibilities thrust upon him. | His training had made him practical and sombre. It was only when away from the hard grind of business that a longing for companionship came over him. Then the duties of the en- suing day chained him down once more to the exacting routine of money making. More than once he had seen Edna Morton at a distance. He had evaded her, for somehow he felt that his father had not acted quite square with his old partners. More than that, he learned that the Mortons were not in the best of circumstances owing to an unwise investment of Mr. Mor- ton, and that Edna was teaching | school. “I'm tired of it all,” he told himself one day. “There is neither heart nor hope to this lite. I'm going to sell out.” More than once in the course of a few months he made this decision. but something always interfered. Every thousand dollars he had ac- He began to liquidate in a way, how- | these windows; | You look down upon church spires.’ | ever. He changed considerable into | cash and securities. He winced as he | found he entertained a great and | glowing interest in the treasure box ! he so often visited. Was he getting miserly? Had he followed the severe training of his father too long?

Gold! “I'l make the break,” he told him- self positively one day. “I've written to a city firm, and have offered the works at a fair price. Another week, then for a rest—a change, a getting back to real, rational living.” And then—circumstance, accident, fate, precipitated where Rupert Wriothlesey had procrastinated—the great flood at Ironton. . For years after that eventful period, old men told of the great flood that had swept down the valley, bringing devastation and ruin in its train, and young auditors marvelled and shud- dered. It was every man for himself when the great volume of water began its warning encroachment. Rupert was at his home, and the leaping overflow trom the swollen river first attacked that part of the town. He drove to the works—that treasure box in the vault was his first thought. He was forced to abandon his vehicle one- balt way to the plant. When he reached the works there were two feet of water in the office. Hastily Rupert packed the bulk of his ready resources in a satchel. The workmen were fast abandoning the place. Rupert struck across the fac- tory yard to find himself hemmed in near some sheds. A break in the river banks had brought a raging tor- rent down the valley at cyclone speed. It was a moment for rapid action. Everywhere was confusion, alarm, peril. Ten minvtes later Rupert Wriothlesey saw the great plant tot- tering to ruins, swept off its founda- tion, and he was floating along, hold- ing to the roof-tree of a shed with one hand, the other holding the satchel with its precious contents. Others, clinging to planks, to coops, to barrels and boxcs, drifted by him. The terror of storm and flight drove the floating refugees desperately for- ward. Rupert doubted if the frail shed would long remain Intact. Its timbers were already parting. Then as a raft formed of a frail platform, some sidewalk section, passed thirty feet away, he thrilled. | Upon it just fainted from terror and i exhaustion, was a familiar form—it | was Edna Morton! It seemed as though the veil of years was plerced at a touch, and he recalled the gold- en hours of the far past. Edna was helpless. At every toss of the waves she slipped nearer ard nearer to the edge of the frail float. He could reach her, he saw that, : but in that terrible flood he must be unhampered. Her sweet white face appealed to him. Rupert Wrioth- lesey gave the satchel a fling with al- most & curse, leaped into the water, and reached Edna Morton just as she was slipping overboard. It was two hours later, ashore and safe, that Edna heard how nearly she had drifted into the jaws of death. And then and there, his great sacrifice secming a joy and relief, Rupert Wriothlesey told of the love that Ll came to his tired spirit like a sweet soothing balm ,at last. ‘Copyright, 1913, by W. G.
