stopped directly In front of Brown,
and, as it was the FIRST time they'd met
since the memorable moment when
Reggie had been flung in the lake, they
looked embarrassedly into each others
eyes.

Reggie gathered together his cour-

sneered. "And it's none of your busi-

Its my business about how you
treat Tony Devon" Philip began, but
Reggies fresh outburst cut off his
words. ".-.

A Mortified expression passed over
Philips face. Then he realized that
Reginald didn't know of Tony Devon's
presence In the Pendlehaven home.
She's better off then than she was

talking to John Pendehaven.

Rigid Restrictions on TIC Fsee-
ence of strangers"

A stranger caught upon either floor
of congress might not indeed be
lynched. But in contrast with such
impossible intrusion comes the odd
disclosure of recent parliamentary
debate that, even during the formal
days of Chatham, it was usual for out
sjders to go forward in the house OF
commons "as far as a point beneath
the rose in the center Of the roof"
Suggestions for enforcing the stand
ing order against this liberty were
discouraged at the time because "a
violent struggle would probably en-
sue.
The late discussion evolved from the
current practice of admitting stran-
gers, apparently through the laxity of
attendants, into Hobbies and into men,
bers' smoking rooms. But the Hobbies
have long been open to certain journal
lists, and the pictorial terrace beside
the Thames has been trysting place
for high society whenever 1t decided

CHAPTER XII.
n Love You More'n the Whole WorId!"

~ Love You More'n the Whole WorId!"
One late afternoon Philip MacCau-
ley started for the Pendlehavens', de-
sirous of seeing Tony Devon. Rather
Inc saw him guiding his car up the
roadway and ran to the door to meet
him. Her smile was especially radiant.
for she had begun to lose her fear
aboat Tonnibel's influence over him.
"Sit down, Phil" she entreated.
Mothers sick today. Reggie almost
sets her into fits" ... ~
Philip still remained standing.
"And you've kept away so much,
dear boy" complained the girl. "It
seems you don't care for us any more"
I Il do, though, but I've been busy"
replied Philip, not able to think of any
other excuse.
"But you've always been busy, more
or less" the girl shot back, land yet
you came. Mother and | have come
to the conclusion that you couldn't
have been very much interested in
ln-Cousin Paul's protegee, You
haven't even asked about her"
Philip coughed embarrassedly. then
laughed.
1.-THE fact is, | came to see her to-
day." he exclaimed.
Katherine went wax white.
what do you want to see her for?"
she asked sharply.
"Oh, just to talk to her" replied
MacCauley, awkwardly.
Katherine shook her head.
81 don't believe you can" she pro-
tested obviously. "Cousin John won't
let any of g3 go up to Pauls room,
and she never comes down any more"
where's Reggie?" demanded the
boy.
oh he's gone to Johannesburg to-
day." answered Katherine. listlessly.
And am glad of it. ] wish he'd new
er come back. He keeps mother in
tears most of the time he's here"
"And Cousin John! want to ask
him If / can take Miss Devon"
Katherine's head went up in dis
dain.
II know what you want to ask him."
she interrupted tartly. But you
needn't waste your sympathy on that
Devon Girl. But mamma says"
Before she could tell him her moth
er's opinion, the door opened and DR..
Pendlehaven walked in.

The doctor looked at the boys dark
pleading eyes, looked and then
smiled.

"Ah, here she Is. Katherine was just

One EXPLANATION.

The teacher was explaining things to
the boys in his class.
For instance, want to introduce
water into my house. turn 1t on.
The pipes and every convenience are
in order, but | get no water. Can any
of you tel me whyY
He expected the children to see
that 1t was because he had not made a
connection with the main In the street.
The boys looked perplexed. They could
not see why the water should refuse
TO run into his premises after such
faultless plumbing.
Can no one tell me what I have
neglected." reiterated the good man,
looking at the many wondering faces
bowed down by the weight of the
problem.

Vanishing LANGUAGES.

Nowhere in America has there been
such q diversity of Indian languages
as In California. But these languages
are now rapidly disappearing. Sew
eral of them are known only by five or
six and others by only twenty or thir-
ty living persons. and hardly year
passes without some dialect, or even
language, ceasing't to exist through the
death of the last individual able TO
speak It. Efforts are being made to
record all these languages for the
sake of the light they throw on the
ancient history of the Pacific coast
Sun and New York Herald.

Ionnbel's face grew poppy red, 4.
she stood with her eyes cast down nh
her fingers interlocked nervously. oh
how she wanted to go; now her bo,
had come for her.
'You will go, Tony?" begged Philip
his face very red from Johns speech
tiff" the girl stammered.
John Pendlehaven laughed
"She can go, can't she, Paul?" he
asked. phil will take good care OF
her"
Paul Pendlehaven smiled and
sighed.
"Of course, she can go! She ought
tor! he said. "She stays in too close
I've told her that every day. Go along,
little maid, but come back to your old
uncle in little WHILE"
Philip seized her hand to lead her
away, but Tony turned to the bed.
Then she stopped and kissed Paul Pen
dlehaven impulslvely.
Il love YOU" she whispered, "and
mebbe it'll only be half an hour before
I'm back to YOU"
For many minutes after the car
started Philip paid strict attention to
his driving, and Tonnibel allowed her
self the luxury of taking sidelong
look at him now and then. Once
within sight of Beebe Lake, Captain
MacCauley slowed down and stopped.

preston and looked at DIR. John. then
at Philip.
"Well, | should say I wouldn't like
It," she calculated. There's limit
to all things. What in the world would
the neighbors say to such an out
rage?"
DR.. Pendlehaven's face gathered a
dark look. ...
IF she'll 60 with Philip, Sarah," he
said, II wouldn't give hang what the
neighbors said. Come along up, Phil,
and ask her"
Cousin John!" cried Mrs Curtis.
"And, oh, Cousin John," gasped
Katherine. But the doctor was too
angry to pay any heed to them.
you really want to take the child,
my lad?" he asked, smiling at Mac
CauIey.
Eyes, do let me-" blurted the boy.
Lets go up now"
They had no more than closed ths
door when Katherine burst into tears,
and Mrs. Curtis pumped down into a
chair in a spell of Mysteries. ..
1.-THE little trolop," she cried "Oh,
I'd like"
I'D like to kill her." burst forth
Katherine. Mother. If you don't do
something for me, I'll die. Oh, to
think of it; he takes her out when he
could take me! Oh, God Oh, dear
God, help mel" ..#.
Her daughters terrible outburst
brought Mrs. Curtis directly out of
herself.
"Don't, Kathie," she said in a whis-
per. Il really had no idea you cared
for him so much. will help you, poor
dear. John shall listen to me this
night; he certainly shall"
Meanwhile Tonnbel looked up with
inquiring eyes as DIR. Pendlehaven
walked in. He had closed Philip on
the outside Of the door,
The girl gave him a slight smile.
The doctor came forward and took
hold of her hand.
Paul" he asked, looking at His
brother, could you spare our little girl
for an hour? ] want her to go out"
Tonnibel, remembering her promise
to Philip, rose TO her feet. 81 don't
want to-" she trembled. 'Td rather
stay here. I'd really rather stay here"
Pendlehaven went to the door and
opened it, and Philip walked In.
Here's young man, Miss Tony
Devon" he said. laughing at the sight
of the girls puzzled face, "who tells
me he wants you to drive with him.
Now, what do you say?"
"Say yes, darling Tony" Philip ejac-
ulated with sparkling eyes.
"Oh, that's how the land lies, is itv'
said DR.. John under his breath. Then
aloud, Il didn't know this thing had
gotten to the darling point, Philip"

more to educate the boy than 1t does
a girl largely because of boys tend
