CHAPTER TX,
The Face in the Window.


BY ten O'Clock heavy rain and
wind had settled over the Storm
Country with such force that the
waves were rolling southwark like
ivory-crested mountains Once in a
while heavy thud of thunder rever-
berated over the lake from the north,
losing it's roar back of the Cornell
buildings on the university campus.
DevOn's canal boat was following
the little tug which was hugging the
western shore northward. Tonnibel,
in the little room back of the cabin,
was searching through the darkness
from the small window. But the only
thing she could see was the dark bank
along which they crept and which
once in while was lit up by vivid
streak of lightning.
Suddenly the engine stopped, and as
II she imagined Gussie could help her
she gathered her into her arms.
In vivid streak Of lightning she
saw they were anchored close to
Crowbar point, which protected them
somewhat from the wind. She
crouched low when the little door
opened and Uriah called her name.
"Come out here, Tonnibel," he COM
manded roughly. and Tony, with Gus
sic. in her arms, crept into the cabin;
where Reggie was seated on bunk,
looking pale and sullen. :
"Set down on the floor, brat" COM
manded Uriah, and Tonnibel dropped
down. Nov listen to me, Tony"
went on Devon. Ever since you've
been knee high to grasshopper you
been as mean as the devil. You always
got in behind Eide when she was here.
but now there amt no skirts to shove
me of. You hear?"
Every vestige OF blood left the wan
young face.
"Where is mummy" she said, lift
ing imploring eyes to his.
y Dead" said Devon brutally, 'as
dead as a door nail. Here, my lady.
If you holler I'll rap you one on the
COB.
.'Dead!" cried Tonnibel. "Pop.
you're lying to mel know you are !"
& Have it your own way, KID" re-
piled Uriah, with an insolent laugh.
''but one things sure EIDE amt here
to buck against me now. What want
to get into your thick noodle is you're
I goin' to get married as soon as we
get to Auburn. See?" @
The girls eyes remained centered
on his face, horror deep seated in
I their gray depths. s.y;
Here's Reggie wantin' to marry
you." continued Devon, with wide
wave at the limp young man. ''And
& when say you've got to mean it"
II won't" fell from Tony's lips. but
the awful expression on her face didn't
change nor did she drop her eyes.
Devon took quick step toward her,
with an appraised arm, and as he had
beaten his wife so he laid the blows
about the girls head and shoulders.
The pig fell from Tony's arms in her
desperate efforts to protect herself.
"Oh, daddy. don't, don't, any more r

We are all familiar with the mem
oraole scene enacted in Mrs Rug
gles' kitchen THE Birds Christmas
Carroll when Mrs. Ruggles, dis
traught and determined struggled to
implant the rules of polite behavior
in the minds of her nine harum-
scarum youngsters during the space
of a few fleeing hours. The scene
was oceasioned by their immediate
appearance at Mrs. Birds dinner
table and their mothers terror lest
they conduct themselves in too out
ragious a manner.
Today, mothers are confronted
with the same problem: though In
less acute and humorous degree.
Children go forth TO take part in
larger group than the immediate
family one, and unless we have man
aged wisely and surely from the very
beginning we are beset with the
same misgivings which Mrs. Ruggles
endured; the almost certain know
ledge that they may cause US morti-
fication and chargin.
1t may be in the home that this
realization comes. How many moth
ers entertaining a caller, have suf-
fered vexation because of the wilful
demands and Interruptions of an ill
behaved child? How many have ex-
perienced the disagreeable surprise
of finding that habit of untidiness.
inconsiderateness and inattention
overlooked at home, becoming APP
palling stumbling blocks at school.

mingled Indignation and pity. Indig-

| The mistaken devotion which
takes for granted that all restric-

walton, which cannot bear to see a
child suffer temporary disappoitn-
ment or punishment, allows him to
develop an individuality which later
will sap and prey upon all other in
dividuals with whom he comes in
contact.

The Commission taxes every AMI

creates a fund out of which owners
are repaid for cattle ordered killed.
In addition to the rs per cent
received from the state, the owner
is paid for the meat. 1t is legal and
permissible for tuberculin infected

they are slaughtered under inspec-

meat is cooked. In this way the

where the meat does not pass inspec-

when it develops that the other tN o
