CHAPTER X.
The Stoninu.

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 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 curiously
She was close to the window reading
a book, when he caused her to look VI
by calling her name.
| "Run downstairs, Tony dear" ht
went on, "and tell my brother to come
up here before Office hours, VIII You

you told me of her people, fear some
thing may have happened to her."
sWeII hope for the best" said John
Pendiehaven, rising. Nov if / run
down for a wink or two will you lie
-aglidtIy while I'm gomez"
Yes" came in breath, and true to
his word, Paul Pendlehaven scarcely
hreathed for a long while after his
brother went out. although his heavy
gray eyes stared at the breaking dawn.
If anyone had told him a month ago,
lie could have longed for any human
being as he now longed for Tony De
won. he wouldn't have believed it. He
dreaded the day without her dear
s1nile bending over him. Perhaps she
world never come back. At that
thuught he grOaned.
If he could only 60 to sleep. Only
CLOSE his eyes
Ills lids sank slowly down, and he
Slryt itfully. Mingled in his dream Of
Tony Devon came sharp sound. That,
like Tony, must be dream, too, 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 slumbered.
The noise came again, striking
aIinst his nervous brain and waking
him. Suddenly, with painting breath
and beating pulses, he lifted himself
an his elbow. The screen had fallen
from the window and perhaps ten sec
onr;S passed as he stared mutely at 1t.
Then like a shot from a gun, Tony
IAe,on sprang through the window In
10 fire room. For moment the sick
man =azed at her with mingled emo
fions Something dreadful had hap
Jrnrd to her. She was so white, 81

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

Paul Tendlehaven let his thin hand
drop on the frowsly head. Tears stung
his own lids like nettles.
Dear ch!kl,' he breathed, dear
pretty child. I've waited all night for
you. My God, what's happened to
yOu?"
Tony covered her face with her
hands.
Somebody beat me up" she
mOaned. Il can't tell anything now.
And L lost my pretty clothes"
Sudden strength came to Paul Pen
dlehaven. He sat up straight and
fOrcibly lifted the pitiful hurt face so
be could look at it.
Tony" he began gravely, 81 COM
mand yOu to tell me what happened
to you. Tell me instantly. If l knew.
i could take steps to punish the ruffian
who dared to do this thing"
That was just what Tony didn't
want. Eadn'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 Ur'ah 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, land yet you re-
fuse to let me do what 1 can"
She tried to think of something to
comfort him.
.y-rt sometimes daddies and hus-
bands beat their women folks" she ex-
planned.
Then your father whipped your
quizzed the doctor
THAT 1 can't tell" said the girl
Don't make me- Oh, Lordy
Tn all tuckered out"
1t was of no use to put questions
any more, thought Pendlehaven. Ht
was persuaded that her father nae
done this dreadful thing.
At eight o'clock. when DR.. Johr
Pendlehaven softly entered the sick
room he found his brother in SOUND
slumber, and Tony Devon, her fac'
discolored with bruises, fast asleep II
the chair by the bedside.
1t was a stubborn Tony that faces
Doctor John that morning. Adroitly b.
tried to draw from her the reason 70

"That she is not" interjected Philip.

As John Pendlehaven raised her to

fixed her fearful eyes on Captain Mac
Cauley.

"Patsy," was the refined product
of that side of life in New York that
sharpens the wits Of its pupils, and
teaches them, unconsciously, to delve
into life and understand it; and does
this without robbing them Of charm
and sweetness. She is the central
figure in the great Summer Nichols
comedy, 'Patsy, After ALL" which
is to be presented at the Tabb The
atre next week.
The story of the play starts in .
big settlement thouse the night Of
big special entertainment to which
a number of the patronesses of the
institution have been invited. Patsy
is to be one of the features of the
entertainment. She turns out to be
one Of the most interesting phases
Of it and one of the women present,
who's son has become interested in
Patsy, offers her the chance to big
ger and better things, and a home
with her.
Then, just as life is beginning to
smile on this winsome little girl,
comes the cloud on her horizon. The
story is too delightful to tell it an
before you have the opportunity Of
attending the performances at the

That I, as Mayor of the City of Mt.

about three years. He was a sue
cessful farmer until 1910, when he
retired from a busy life and in 1912
he became a resident of this city.
Mr.. MADDEN had been active in
politics until the past few years.
BY his going truly good citizen and
Christian gentleman has fallen. He
was one Of the most highly respected
men and on all questions that came
up for settlement before the people
he could be counted as being on the
moral side. AS a neighbor, friend,
son, husband, brother, father, he was
Justly classed among the men who
did not fear to do the right. His
name is justly a synonym for hon
esty and justice. A little while back
Mr.. MADDEN was a strong man with
constitution that to all appear
ances could BATTLE the ravages Of
disease, but the cord Of life snaps
easily and with a heart in sympa-
thy with loyalty to loftier ideals the
life of this man, friend and helper,
passes.
"The leaves of the oak and the will
low shall fade,
Be scattered around, and together
be laid;
And the old and the young, and the
low and the high,
Shall moulder to dust and together
shall lie."
He has served we'll and his life
closes in honor. May the perfume
of the flowers, the contribution of
affectionate hearts and the grass
that covers the grave be ever green
in memories dear, while time endures.
