Good for Evil.

That night for dinner, FIVE people
sat about the Pendlehaven table. Reg
gle, pale and miserable looking, sat
next to his mother, and Philip Mac
Cauley was opposite Doctor John.
Katherine, silent and morose, was at
her own place She had heard her
mothers version Of the afternoons
happening in amazement and anger.
and it only added to her discomfort to
hear Cousin John tell the tale to
Philip.

mounting to each high cheekbone.
Pendlehaven laughed.
"She wouldn't have been much use
to him in prison, my dear Sarah," was
his answer.

expression.

'If she gets up there once" inter
posed Mrs. Curtis, in an undertone to
Uriah Devon. you won't see her
again."
Tonnibel had heard the words and
knew they were true. II she could
get upstairs with Doctor Paul and
then lock the door, no one would dare
venture after her.
Devon saw swift intelligence light
up her face. He didn't intend to allow
her out Of his sight. He caught at
her roughly as Mrs. Curtis barred
her flight to the door.
Let me Alone" she cried. Let me
alone"
Uriah snatched her hands, and Mrs.
Curtis buried her fingers in the dark
curls. AS Tonnibel cried out again, the
door suddenly opened. and John Pen
dlehaven walked into the room. Uriah
dropped the girls hands, and Mrs.
Curtis fell back with startled ejacu-
lation.
"whnt does this mean?" questioned
Doctor John.
"My fathers here" said Tony, her
voice breaking.
Her father, Cousin John." Mrs.
Curtis repeated.
I've come for my girl, mister" said
Uriah, plucking up his courage.
"And she," Pendlehaven kept his
eyes on Tonnibel, docs she want to

A beautiful hahy boy, about fl months of age, was heartlessly abandoned by the roadside at East Thompson Monday af- ternoon about o'clock, it was stated here Tuesday morning by Selectman Leon Walker of the town of Thompson. The case has been called to the atten- ton of the state police department and an investigation is under way that, it is hoped, will bring some interesting de- velopments.
 The couple who abandoned the baby came to East Thompson in large tour ing ear The actions of the couple were suspicious and their doings were watch ed with interest by two women who live in the neighborhood of where the baby was found.
 The woman who had the baby in the automobile was well dressed and appar- ently prosperous She stepped out of the car with the baby in her arms walked up the road a short distance and returned without the child. In the meantime the man, who also was well dressed, drove the car to nearby store in East Thompson and bought some gas cline. Returning, he picked up the wo- man and they drove off in the direction of the Massachusetts border, which is only a short didstance from where the
