A careless gesture from Doctor
John told Tonnibel that that fact
didn't interest him. She slipped her
hand into his. Lifting eyes that were
troubled and dark-circled, she begged ::
'T4et 'er stay, Cousin John. Mebbe
she didn't know my daddy would have
killed me if he'd got me back to the
Dirty Mary"
Pendlehaven put his arm around
her. and with a ring of fierceness In
his voice, said:

hope you feel properly grateful"
The doctor strobe to the door,
opened it and motioned for her to be
gone. Then weeping, she clattered
away, her sobs audible even after the
door was closed.
For few moments Tony Devon
wept silently in John Pendlehaven's
arms.
ooh, It's awful to have daddy taken
away to jail" she moaned. "but he
won't be good, he just WON'T"
you're much better off to have
him away, little girl" soothed Pen

Tony Devon also had been awake
after breakfast, she set about gather
ing courage to approach Doctor Paul!
With Gussie Piglet in her arms, she
sat down beside him, and now the
minute was there to speak, Tony
didn't know how to begin. But to be-
gin meant to begin, Tony had learned,
so she coughed and blurted:
"Your cousin, Mrs. Curtis, is kind
of pretty, amt she?"
"She would be If she didn't cry so
much" responded Doctor Paul.
This gave Tony the opening she
wanted.
"Her boys awful sick, so she says"
she broke out. that's why she cries.
If he don't go away, he'll die, mebbe"
The lovely gray eyes grew darker
as they searched his, and Doctor Paul
leaned over and looked keenly at her.
Ibid Cousin Sarah ask you to-come
10 me. little girl?" he questioned In
kindly tone.
Tonnibei nodded.
"She says Doctor John don't like
her boy, and mebbe you'd help her,
said the girl. blushing.
The man considered the red face
moment
would it please you to have me
help her and him?" he then queried.
II should think you'd be the last per-
son to ask that. My brother told me
she's always very unkind to YOU"
"She don't know any BETTER re-
piled Tony. "Shes never learned
what lovin' awful hard means, and
mebbe she's so worried over her boy
she's got to be horrid to some one"
Paul Pendlehaven laughed, then he
grew grave. Perhaps that's it. Now
do you think you could find my cousin
and bring her here?"
Tonnibel looked at him doubtfully.
"She might make you nervous she
said obviously.
''I don't think So" replied the doc
tor, smiling. I'm so much better. We
won't speak Of this to John, and l
won't get nervous He made the
last promise because the girls face
was troubled and anxious.
T0nnibeI nodded and hurried out.
She knew which room Mrs. Curtis oc-
cupied and sought the other wing OF
the house. When she knocked at the
door, a w0man's voice called low:
| "COme in :"
Tony stepped inside and, turning
shut the door before she took sur
vey of the room. When she did, she
almost tainted. Reggie Brown, the
awful man she had known in the
canalboat days, the man who had
dropped the poison into Paul Pendle-
Ravens medicine, was seated very
near Mrs. Curtis, and Katherine was
by the window, wearing a very bored
expression.
An exclamation came from each
one of the three as the girl faced
them, looking as if she were ready to
collapse.
You didn't get the money then,
girl" demanded Mrs. Curtis, sharply.
Reggie dear, l didn't tell you last
night, but your Cousin John refused
me when I asked him for help, and |
had to reach Paul through"
Tony's eyes were on Reginald, who
was crouching lower in his chair. Her
forward, staggering step broke off the
speakers explanation.
"You want the money for him?" she
