When Mr.Winter came down the next evening, Philip asked him to come in and wait a few minutes, as he was detained in his study-room by a caller.

The mill-owner sat down and visited with Mrs.Strong a little while.

The door into the sick man's room was partly open, and he could not help hearing the conversation between the Brother Man and his son.

"Come in and see him," said Philip.
He brought Mr.Winter into the little room and introduced him to the patient.
