Tony Finds a New Home.

Many a person turned in the street
and looked at the bareheaded and bare

through the city with little pig snug.

promised Doctor John she'd come to
his office at two o'clock that after
noon, and, if she didn't, he might take
it into his head to visit the Dirty
Mary.
When John Pendlehaven came in
and saw her he noted how pale she
was.

Tony. Il don't know where she is"

Then as her homelesSness pressed

Doctor Pendlehaven looked at her

the wan face had haunted him.
Suddenly TOnnibel put her hand in

and it is shown that practically
all of the increase comes from
the State.
The reason is that systema-
tic and intelligent campaign is
being made against auto fatai-
ties in New York and while it
has not resulted in any percepti-
BILE decrease in the number, it
has at least been curbed, while
fatalities are increasing through
out the remainder of the coun-
try.
The auto menace is a serious
one. and that there has been no
fatal accident in EIizabethtown
is due mere to good fortune than
to any especial care upon the
part of some of the drivers.
There is an automobile for every
twenty-five people in Hardin
county perhaps one for every
ten inhabitants of Elizabetotown.

SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER L-Donely and almost friend
less, Tonnibel Devon, living on a canal
boat, child of brutal father and a worn
out, discouraged mother, wanders into a
Salvation army hall at Ithaca, n. Y.
There she meets young Salvation army
captain, Philip MacCauley.
CHAPTER IL.-Uriah Devon, Tony's IA
theT, returns to the boat from a pro-
tracted spree" and announces he has
arranged for Tony to marry a worthless
cpmpanion of his, Reginald Brown. Mrs.
Devon objects, and Uriah beats her. She
tpdmates there is q secret connected
with TonnibeL
CHAPTER HIN clothes that Oriah
has brought Tony finds a baby's picture
with a notification Of a reward for its
return to a Doctor Pendlehaven. She
goes to return the picture.
CHAPTER IV.-with the PendIehavens,
. family Of wealth, live Mrs. Curtis, a
cousin, her son and daughter, Katherine
Curtis and Reginald Brown. Katherine is
deeply in love with Philip MacCauley.
CHAPTER V.-Tonnibel returns the
picture to Doctor John, and learns II be-
longs to his brother, Dr. Paul Pendle-
haven. 1t is q portrait Of Doctor PauPs
child, who had been stolen in her infancy,
and her loss has wrecked Doctor PauPs
life. Doctor John goes with Tony to the
canal boat and ministers to Mrs. Devon
while she is unconscious.
1t was in the full blaze of a morning
sun that TOnnibel opened her eyes and
looked around the cabin. The other
bunk was empty, and her mother was
not in the cabin. In her night clothes,
Tonnibel went to the deck, shouting
the name, Edith" her strong young
voice repeating itself back from the
woods in echoes. Then she went down
stairs again and began to dress
hastily, and every moment her fear
was growing. She spied the note
pinned to the lamp handle and stared

at it mUtely as if dreading to know its
contents, but she unpinned it with fin
gers that seemed to be all thumbs.

sit down to read it.

find her. love you. darling Remem-
Der about your swearing not to tell
on your Pop, and don't tell I'm gone to
find him. MUMMY"
TOnnibel gave a gasping sob. They
had all gone and left her stranded in
a land of strangers. Because it was
no longer her home, she began to love
the silent old canal boat, and to wish
with all her soul that Uriah and Edith
would come walking down the cabin
steps.
For a long time she sat thinking,
looking out over the water, sometimes
with tears flooding her lids, sometimes
dry-eyed with fright After a while she
got up, took Gussie to the lake, where,
much to the little animals disgust,
she washed her with a scrubbing
brush and soap. Then she carefully
washed herself, letting her feet and
legs hang over the end of the dock
until they, too, were as clean as her
little friend.
1t was while she was sitting there
with the pig in her arms that canoe
slipped under the overhanging trees
and came toward the canal boat swift
~. She watched it coming with no
show Of interest. Directly in front Of
her the paddle remained suspended,
and the boat came to a stop. Tomb
bePs heart thumped, then seemed to
fall to the pit of her stomach. Here,
right before her, was the Salvation
man.

at her. 81 see you're having a nice
time"
Tonnibel shook her head.

The Halloween party given on Sat-
urday evening was a jolly success
from start to finish, and the juniors
are receiving many congratulations
on the original and bright program.
The entertainment opened with q
clever two-act farce written for the
occasion by Evelyn Taylor, the class
teacher. A clever plot with an abun-
dance of school jokes added spice to
the good acting and provided much
merriment. A touch of opera was
added by chorus that appeared sew
eral times and sang appropriate
selections. The chief actors were
Leon Odlin, Alexander Baird, Harry
Muir, Ethel Miller and Mary Will

minor parts.
