BREAK N ROUTINE By ELIZABETH LILLIAN HIGGINS. “It 18 needless to say that | am dis- appointed—bitterly disappointed and grieved,” spoke Almond Weare to his nephew, Walter Ridley, but there was more of severity in his tones than true pathos. “I am sorry, uncle,” was the earrest response, “but I must follow my duty a8 I see it." “You see it through wrong glasses, then,” declared Mr. \Weare, stormily. “You are throwing away the chance of a lifetime. Hester Deule is ready to fall into your arms—wealth, standing, family influence. I learn tuat ft is in the power of ber the. head of the great Time teel company, to appoint you surgeon for the plant. Think of that—all your assistants to do your work, and a roy- al salary!” “But I do not wish ot .ers to do my work,” explained Walter, quietly, but with a latent force back of it that told. “I wish to do some good in the world. The people down at the old settlement miils have no physi- clan. I am going among them.” . “To starve, to get down to their de- . quiring the barren nonor or neu‘g s chiet surgeon of the old mills, It was a cruel place, the great works where most of the labor in the finishing shops was done by children. 'l:he chief products were minor hard: socinl basing leve), to be robbed and laughed at for your mistaken philanthropy!” snarled the old man, wrathfully. | “And that girl, too—the daughter of that worthless old inventor, Darley. 8he's the attraction, 1 doubt not.” “Yes, uncle,” confessed young Rid- ley, frankly, “Miss Darley is, indeed, the attraction. I love her—I shall al- ways love her.” “Trapped you, uncle, “Oh, Doctor Ridley, There's Been an | Accident!” | ware noveltles that required burnish- ing, lacquering, sorting and packing. Wherever machinery could be used it was employed. The great Timoar plant had about crushed out the smaller shops. The settlement factory was not making money, bad not the cap- {tal to instal modern machines—hence many an accident, Doctor Ridley came face to face with Miss Darley that evening. She was passing along the street, her eyes fixed upon the plain Mttle sign in his office window. She transferred her| sweet glance to his face as he spoksi to her. It was full of encouruement and approval. “You have come among us, as you threatened,” she spoke smilingly. “As I longed for,” corrected Walter. “It will be a blessed work,” she said. Then she placed her hand in his. Her beautiful eyes held his own In thrall for a moment and he thrilled. He noted her parted lips, her heav- ing bosom. There was a tension in eh!” sneered the “Don’t malign her, uncle,” said Wal- ter. “Her father's position was as and hoonorable as your own, be- fore the family with which you wish ) to ally myself robbed him of his m ntion. As to Bertha, she has an angel of mercy among the joor operatives. She has cast her lot among them, not only from necessity but from choice. As to trapping me— Miss Mey refused my offer of mar slage, dfatinctly and irrevocably, last evening.” They .parted with that, those two who had been s0 companionable and Barmonious until the proud, stern will the ‘selfish old tyro was opposed. days later Dr. Walter Ridley Bung olit his shingle at the settle mant as a physician, In addition ac ¥ - i J. .

A dozen of the child workers surrounded her, frightened, weeping and solicitous for her welfare. Bertha Darley had been a herofne. She had sprang to 2 faliing shaft just in time to save half a dozen from be- ing crushed and injured. She had fought a noble battle with the whirl ing monster of steel. There were a dozen severe abra- sions, and one crushed finger, which Walter attended to, ah, so tenderly! longing to kiss the poor lacerated hand. It would be two weeks before Jertha could resume her wonted tasks, He called at the smaller quarters to which his uncle had betaken himself, but was refused admission. He heard that Mr. Weare was severely ill with a contagious disease, but he was not sent for. Then Bertha was absent from home for two weeks, Her father professed fgnorance of her whereabouts, but one day Waiter received a telephone call from his uncle, He found Mr. Weare recovered from his illness, a new, softer light in his old eyes. “Walter,” he spoke, “I should have died but for the gentle ministrations of a volunteer nurse, whose true iden- | tity I did not know until an hour 1 since. I have changed my mind as to | the fleeting friends of this uncertain | world. I wish to realize upon what ume I have left. and make a new home with you down at the settlement, where heart and home are not mere hollow words.” “And this nuree?” asked Walter. She appeared as he spoke—Bertha, i and in her beautiful eyes he saw & new lizht—the love glow of a wom- an who had a right now to accept his homage. And two days later Walter Ridley placed on her dear crushed finger an engagement ring. (Copyright, 1913, by W. G.
