CHAPTER v.
Doctor John Has a Visitor.

After remaining hidden in the for
est for some, time, TOnnibel stole
along toward ithaca in the gathering
gloom her heart filed with hope. To
get some medicine for Edith, and to
take back the picture to the father
who had offered money for 1t. were
the two things she wanted to do now.
Her young mind was busy with plans
for her mother. If she could find some
work to do. and Edith would 60 with
her, she would get well again.
That evening, just after dinner, DR..
John Pendlehaven was sitting in his
office his mind disturbed. his heart
aching for the sick brother upstairs.
and he remembered that the first three
or four years after the disappearance
Of PauI's daughter had been spent In
frantic search. All those working
on the case had finally decided that
Edith Mindil, young nurse who had
cared for the child most of the time
since her mother had died and was de-
voted to her, had left home with the
baby.
He sat up suddenly, for distinctly
there came to him from the wide front
porch the patter Of feet like the soft
fOOtpads of some stealthy night-ani-
NAL. He turned his eyes on the open
door that led to the pOrch-and then
he rose. There before him stood girl.
silent girl looking at him beseech-
ingly-a curious demanding express
sion in her eyes, and she was bare
footed, too. He didn't speak. nor did
he move forward She was not pa
tient, that he knew, for only the rich
came to him for treatment.
Suddenly she smiled and took two
steps toward him. "Good evening"
he managed to say.
"Paul Pendlehaven? came In a
breath, and Doctor John shook his
head.
"Ohi !, hoped you wereI" was the
swift reply. Il want to see the doc
tor"
The voice was oiled with touching
pathos, and the young face had grown
suddenly grave.
"Tm one Doctor Pendlehaven," he
said. "Won't you sit DOWN."
TOnnlbel shook her head. She
couldn't sit down in all this royal
splendor, she who had been used 10
canal boats and rough benches TO sit
on.
"I'm. kinda mussed up" she said in
excuse. 1--WE come to make dlcker
with--wth DR.. Paul Pendlehaven."
"Ten me what you want of my
brotherT he said gently. do you
want him to help your"
"Yep, a hull lot" she responded. "a

SETTLES REALTY
 COMMISSION CASE Court Holds Agent Has No Claim After Reasonable
 Time EIapSes

A real estate broker to whom an ex- elusive right to handle the sale of prop erty is given, cannot recover commits sions where an unreasonable time elapses without his procuring 8 purchaser for the property, which in the meantime is sold by the owner.
 This was the ruling of the supreme court in an opinion received in the chan very division of the circuit court yes terday. The case involved was that Of c. w. Ford, a local real estate man, to recover commissions amounting to $4,SO from Mrs. Catherine Erswell and Lotus Pizitz for the sale of several lots on Nineteenth street. This property was purchased some time ago by MT. Pizitz from Mrs. Erswell for $1700o0.
 The court in denying the right of the agent to recover decided that where no time for the performance of the contract by the agent is specified the law inn punes a reasonable time for it's perform ance, and that where the agent allows an unreasonable time, nine years to elapse without making sale, and sale of the property is negotiated by the owner, the agent loses his right to re- cover commission

PASSOVER SERVICE
 ID BE ELABORATE
Jewish Festival Plans Include Home Service - Fine
 Music at Temple

pr. Morris Newfield of Temple Emanu-El makes the following an- nouncement of Passover services:
 Initial service of the Passover will be conducted Friday. April 22, at $ o'clock in the evening. This is to be followed by the home-service, called Sedar, in every Jewish home.
 On Saturday morning, April 2S, the main service of the Passover will be conducted at the temple, beginning at 1o:3o o'clock. Special music appropri- att to the celebration of this ancient festival will be rendered by the tem- pie choir under direction of Mrs Edna Gussen.
 Passover was originally an agricul- tural feast, but later became asso- ciated with the exodus of the Israe- lites, which marked their escape from the bondage of Egypt under the lead ership of Moses. The memory of this deliverance is revived in the Passover services
 During Passover week. Jewish fam lilies eat Matzoth, unleavened bread which is one of the symbols used in the observance of the. festival to pring hcme the recollection of oppression and the eventual triumph over tyr amy.
 The festival is observed in a spirit of gladness, and it's inspiration is to a trust in the eventual reign of right eousness. Ii is one of the most gem erally-observed of all the Jewish holi- days.
