CHAPTER X.
The Stoninq.


Never before since he had taken up
his work of redemption had Philip
MacCauley found the hours so long
and so difficult to live through. Day
after day he canoed to the place Tony
had promised TO meet him, only to re-
turn to Ithaca more at sea than ever.
He had the %sickening idea that the
girl he had grown to love was again
in the clutches of her brute of a ia
Their and Reginald Brown.
Tony, too, began TO lose the high
spirits that had returned almost I'M
mediately after her escape from the
canal boat. The gray eyes grew dark
ly circled. the lovely mouth seemed TO
have lost the power to smile.
Paul Pendlehaven noted all this with
apprehension. He questioned the girl
time after time. asking her If she felt
well. if there was anything she wanted,
but she always replied in the negative.
One day after they had had their
dinner, he sat looking at her curiousiy.
She was close to the window reading
a book. when he caused her to look up
by calling her name.
"Run downstairs. Tony dear" he
went on, "and tell my brother to come
up here before office hours, will you
honey?"
The girl rose. laying aside her book.

1t was because she had passed
through such a dreadful night and was
so terribly tired that she cried Il little

Paul Pendlehayen let his thin hand
drop on the frowsly head. Tears stung
his w lids like nettles.

you. My God, what's happened to

Tony covered her face with her
hands.

moaned. II can't tell anything now.
And l lost my pretty clothes"
Sudden strength came to Paul Pen

forcibly lifted the pitiful hurt face SO
he could look at it.
"Tony," he began gravely, 81 com
mand YOU TO tell me what happened
10 you. Tell me instantly. If knew,
| could take steps TO punish the ruftlan
who dared to do this thing"
That was just what Tony didn't
want. Hadn't she sworn to Edith in
the presence of the infinite Christ, that
good Shepherd who had given up His
life for His sheep, that no matter
what Uriah did she wouldn't peach on
him?
The tears were still rolling down
her cheeks from under lowered lids.
"You have so helped me, Tony" con-
tinued ~Pendlehaven. and yet you re-
fuse to let me do what l can"
She tried to think of something to
comfort him.
But sometimes daddies and hus-
bands beat their women folks" she ex-
planned.
"Then your father whipped you?'
quizzed the doctor.
THAT can't tell" said the girl.
Don't make me. Oh, Lordy,
I'm all tuckered out"
1t was of no use TO put questions
any more, thought Pendlehaven. He
was persuaded that her father had
done this dreadful thing.
At eight o'clock, when DR.. John
Pendlehaven softly entered the sick
room he found his brother in sound
slumber. and Tony Devon. her face
discoIored with bruises. fast asleep in
the chair by the bedside.
1t was "a stubborn Tony that faced
Doctor John that morning. Adroitly he
tried TO draw from her the reason for
her extreme paleness. for the dark
marks stretched across her face, and
the meaning of the shudders that sud
denly attacked her.

tress as she had to his brother. please

That her mother was dead, she firm
ly believed. This she did tell the doc
tor between many sobs and tears.

she told him TREMENDOUSLY. "And IL

gray eyes stared at the breaking dawn.
II anyone had told him a month ago,
he could have longed for any human
being as he now longed for Tony De-
von, he wouldn't have believed 1t. he
dreaded the day without her dear
smile bending over him. Perhaps she
would never come back. AT that
thought he groaned.
If he could only go to sleep. Only
close his eyes 3
His lbs sank slowly down, and he
slept ftfully. Mingled in his dream OF
Tony Devon came a sharp sound. That,
like Tony, must be a dream, foo. that
sound that was out of the ordinary
noises of the day, for although the
sun had called into life the bees and
birds, ithaca still s%lumbered.
The noise came again, striking
against his nervous brain and waking
him. Suddenly, with painting breath
and beating pulses, he lifted himself
on his elbow. The screen had fallen
from the window and perhaps ten sec
onds passed as he stared mutely at it.
Then like a shot from a gun, Tony
Devon sprang through the window in
to the room. For a moment the SICK
man gazed at her with mingled emo
lions. Something dreadful had hap
pened to her. She was so white, so
wraithlike and changed, yet blotching
the pallor of her face were reddish
blue bruises. Then the bare feet took
the distance between them In a bound.

with the dead Edith Devon, and the
words of her own serious reverent
oath given in the presence Of her Wild
eyed mother would not allow her to
consent that Philip should HIT the
stigma heaped upon her by the Curtis
women.

Through many sobs and tears. she

the tears rim his lashes. For a
