CHAPTER TX.
The Face in the Window.


BY ten 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 a 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.
Devons 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 a while was lit up by vivid
streak of lightning.
Suddenly the engine stopped, and as
If she imagined Gussie could help her
she gathered her into her arms.
In a 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. 'Now listen to me, Tony"
went on Devon. ever since you've
been knee high to a 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 off. You hear?"
Every vestige of blood left the wan
young face.
"Where is mummy" she said, lift
Ing Imploring eyes to his.
Dead" said Devon brutally, 'as

CHAPTER vIII-continued.

"Where's mummy" she demanded,
and again came a sharper where's
my mother?" Roughly showing her
aside, Uriah walked across the boat
deck, his sunken eyes fixed on Mac
Cauley.
"What you mussin' about my boat
for, mister?' he demanded. "And
what happened to trat youAg Teller
crawlin' to the beach there?"
81 slung him in the lake." said
Philip fiercely. "The pup was-was-"
he made a gesture toward Tony as
Devon's interruption belched forth:
''Was it any of your business what
happened to my girl?"
Uriah took another step toward the
young captain.
That's your canoe, amt it, roped to,
my dock?' he demanded fercely.
"Well, hop in and get away if you
don't want a broken skull"
Philip sent flashing glance to the
silent, white girl. There was such ter
Ior marked on her face that his teeth
came together tensely.
He can't go till my mother comes" "
she broke out abruptly. Il won't stay
If he don't"
Uriah's hand went back to his hip.
Il guess he'll go if tell i'm to-" said
he. "Just hop into your boat, kid,
before l fill you up to your teeth with
little bits of hot lead"
Tonnibel had witnessed scenes like
this before. She knew but a tiny pres
sure of her fathers finger on the gun
he held would kill her sweetheart.
Go along" she managed to get out
between her chattering teeth. It'll be
worse for both of us if you don't!"
Devon was forcing Philip backward
toward the end OF the. dock, and by
this time Reginald had crawled to the
shore and had lain down upon it.
Don't lag, mister" cried Tony to
Philip. go along to Ithaca"
MacCauley stepped into his canoe,
and Devon sullenly unfastened the
rope and threw it iFto the bow of the
craft.
Don't come back here if you don't
want taste of this he snapped,
touching his gun. Get out and stay
out, mister"
With the end of the revolver he
gave the canoe shove, and Tony saw
the paddle dip into the water and the
boy move away.
Uriah stood moment and looked
off to the hills. Then locking Tony
in the cabin he went to where Reggie
lay on the shore and helped him back
to the boat.

'Dead!" cried TonnibeI. "Pop
you're lying to me- know you are J!
''Have it your own way, kid, re
piled Uriah, with an insolent laugh
'.but one things sure-Ede amt here
to buck against me now. What want
to get into your thick noodle is you're
goin' to get married as soon as we
| get to Auburn. Seer"
The girls eyes remained centered
on his face, horror deep seated in
their gray depths.
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.
81 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 hel
desperate efforts to protect herself.
"Oh, daddy, don't, don't, any more =
she screamed.
Reggie Brown was watching the
brutal scene duly as If it interested
him but little. At the girls fearful
plea Devon stepped back and glareo
at her.
''Will you do what | bid you, missg
he demanded hoarsely. I'D as soon
kill you as take wink"
Tonnibel made no answer save to
weep more wildly, and, because she
did not make ready reply, UriaE
struck her again. Then suddenly
Reginald stood up.
Don't hit 'er any more, Dew, ne
drGwled. "Shut 'er up while and
keep 'er without grub, and she'll come
to time. Give 'er night to think i
over God, but you've walloped rel
black and blue as tbs"
In answer to this Devon picked
Tony up and threw her into the back
cabin. Then he kicked Gussie over
the threshold, slammed the door ano
locked it.
Philip MacCauley had padded away
from the Dirty Mary with dull
sick fear for the girl he had had to
leave behind. To fight single-handed q
drunken man with a gun was fool
hardy and would do little Tony nc
good
When he reached the corner of the
lake he ran his craft ashore and sat
for long time thinking. Suddenly

THEATER STRIKE.
TODAY UNLIKELY,
MANAGERS Think
But Employers Continue Prep
arations-Unions Confident
Of Power If They Refuse Cut.

There will be no strike Of motion
picture operators and theater stage
employees in Washington, according to
indications this afternoon.
With less than twelve hours before
the expiration of the present contracts,
at midnight tonight, theater managers
expressed confidence that the men
would come to the tepms made last
week. whic hinvolve a cut of 70 per
cent in the wages OF operators and
stage superintendents.
The managers, however. do not
intend to be caught unprepared by
any, last minute refusal of the men
TO cbme TO terms and are continuing
TO receive applicants in response to
advertisements in the Sunday papers
for al available motion picture
operators and for twenty theater
pianists and ten organists.
Though a number of applications
were made Monday and yesterday
the supply of available men in
event of a strike is far short Of the
number required and the union
men are confident that a strike
would force a number of the local
theaters to close.
The new terms, II was pointed out,
will bring no reduction in the salaries
OF the majority of stage employees and
the managers feel that their opposi-
ton to a strike will outweigh the re-
luctance of the operators and super
intendents to accept the 10 per cent
cut.

WOMEN THoRNS IN SIDE
OF INSURANCE FIRMS

CHICAGO, Aug 31.-"How old Is
Ann?" is still the biggest question in
the minds of some people, especially
the insurance organizations.
The chief problem facing insurance
companies is how to induce women to
tell their right ages. According to
delegates attending the national fra
ternal conferences here today, about
one.tenth of the women applying for
life insurance place their ages from
two to ten years under the correct
figure. Miss Bima West, Port Huron,
Mich. said:
with most of the women Il isn't a
deliberate attempt TO cheat" Miss West
said. Mothers and girls simply have
the habit of thinking that their ages
are less than they really are. Lots OF
husbands can't tell how old their wives
are. Let alone life insurance COM
panies."

Great excitement was caused in the

HARDING TAKES

UP WASHINGTON
Wants City to Appear Beautiful
When Conference Dele
gates Arrive.

President Harding today took hand
In the plan to clean up Washington.
so that the city will present beauti-
full appearance when the foreign dele
gates come to attend the disarmament
conference.
He has requested the District Com.
missioners TO get together with Col.
c. o. Sheriff.. the officer in charge Of
public buildings and grounds and his
personal aide, and map out plan to
rid the city of some OF the obJectiona-
BILE eyesores, and to get the people OF
Washington to help clean up.
To Remove PILLARS.
It is probable that one of the things
which Colonel Sheriff. will do at once
is to remove the pillars and gates at
the Pennsylvania avenue end Of Exec.
utive avenue. The gates have stood
for years between the White House
and State, War and Navy building.
and since the automobile came into
such popularity several years ago,
they have been a detriment and men
ace to autoists on account OF the small
space between the pillars. which barely
allows an automobile to pass.
Commissioner Oyster today sent 10
the heads of various citizens associa-
tions and the Federation of Citizens
AbSOCidtlOns, anu TIC anu tisiS
bodies in Washington. letter asking
their cooperation in cleaning up the
city during the month OF September.
To Have Cleanup Month.
1t is probable that the month Of
September will be set aside as a
cleanup month. Commissioner Oys.
ter has been insistsnt on cleaning
up. and a few weeks ago ordered the
removal of weeds from the city.
The action of the President, which
Is understood to have been without
suggestion from anyone. will have a
great effect on the plan, 1t is be.

Commissioner Oyster and Colonel
Sheriff. had a conference yesterday
and discussed plans for cleaning up
the city. Colonel Sheriff. promised
Commissioner Oyster that he would

places that needed attention which

GIRLS SCHOOL
At ANY MOMENT
President of Trustees Brown
Says Flights Result From
Kindly System in Vogue.

The escape of girls from the Ma.
tional Training School for Girls Mon.
day night. the second in the last few
months. does not indicate that there
Is a condition at the institution that
needs investigation, according to
Chaplin Brown, president of the board
of trustees of the institution. The
girls escaped because of the system
in vogue at the institution and be,
cause OF the escape the system will
not be changed.
According to Mr.. Brown, II would
be a very easy matter to prevent the
escape of inmates of the school by
the adoption of drastic methods, but
the authorities would rather run the
risk of having few girls escape
every once in a while than subject
them to conditions that in the opin-
ion of the board of trustees would be
cruel.
Have Freedom Of Grounds.
THE girls are allowed the freedom
Of the grounds, and 1t is a very easy
matter, IL the girls enter into a
conspiracy to escape, for many Of
them to make a getaway" Mr.. Brown
said. They have escaped before and
in nearly every case we have re-
captured them. 1t is either a case
of keeping the girls closed up and
allowed to exercise only under a
heavy guard or try and make life
easier for them by allowing them
every freedom possible in keeping
with the aims OF the institution"
Mr.. Brown said that every time an
inmate escaped an investigation was
made. and that the recent escapes
would also be probed.
Three OF the girls who escaped
from the National Training School
Monday night were taken into GUS
tody by the police yesterday. Mary
Kidd, eighteen yeasr old, was arrest.
ed yesterday afternoon by Head.
quarters Detectives Livingstone and
O'Brien. She has been returned to
the institution.
Ruth Clarkson and Grace Eller,
both twenty years old, surrendered
themselves at the Six precinct yester-
dya. Late in the afternoon Attorney
Leo Rover secured a writ of habeaus
corpus from Justice Hoehling and
the girls were released in Rover's
custody. Rover declares he will test
the validity OF OBTAINING girls over
juvenile age In a Juvenile institution.
