 "He's right here" affirmed the girl, thinking of a boys earnest uplifted face and vibrant assurances.
 "Then say after me what I'm thlnkin' of" said Edith.
 Tony lifted her eyes to her mothers, but drew back when she discovered how terrible she looked, white like a dead person. ....
 q swear by the llyln' Jesus," began Edith. and then she paused. Say It." she hiSsed.
 "I swear by the Twin Jesus" Tony repeated fearfully.
 "I swear to my mummy never to say nothln' mean against Uriah De von, my daddy" went on Mrs. Devon.
 Tony repeated this, too, almost frightened into fits. She had never seen her mother look and act so mys- terinusly.
 "Now say this, keepIn' in your mind vou'U he blasted to hell if you break your word, T won't never tell that my father heat my poor mummy, or that he's n thief and n liar" A thick fearless sob burst from the woman's Ilps and brought an ejaculation from the girl.
 "I swear to 1t all. honey mummy" she cried. "YOu believe me, Edie, dorlin'. don't you?"
 "Yes, l believe yOu," replied Edith, dully. Crawl into bed, md go to sleep. baby dear"
 Shiveringly Tony Devon got back under the blanket
 Then for more than an hour there was silence on the canal boat, silence that was broken only by the night noises outside.
 Then, extremely weak, the woman prepared herself to go out. It took her a long time to write a note she had to leave for Tony. and when that was finished, she divided the money the doctor had left and stole softly from the boat.
 It was in the full blaze of morning sun that Tonnibel opened her eyes and looked around the cabin. The other bunk was empty, and her mother was not in the cabin. In her night clothes, TOnnihel went to the deck, shouting the name. Edith" her strong young voice repeating itself back from the woods in echoes. Then she went down. stairs again and began to dress hastily. and every moment her fear was growing. She spied the note pinned to the lamp handle and stared

 Tonnibel gave gasping sob. They had all gone and left her stranded in a land of strangers. Because 1t was no longer her home, she began to love the silent old canal boat, and to wish with all her soul that Urlah and Edith would come walking down the cabin steps.
 For a long time she sat thinking, looking out over the water, sometimes with tears flooding her lids, sometimes dry-eyed with fright. After while she got up, took Gussie to the lake, where, much to the little animals disgust, she washed her with a scrubbing brush and soap. Then she carefully washed herself, letting her feet and legs hang over the end of the dock until they, too, were as clean as her little friend.
 It was while she was sitting there with the pig in her arms that canoe slipped under the oyerhGnging trees

and came toward the canal boat SWIFT ly. She watched 1t coming with no show of interest. Directly in front Of her the paddle remained suspended, and the boat came to stop. Tonni- bel's heart thumped, then seemed to fall to the pit of her stomach. Here, right before her, was the Salvation man.
 "How do you doT" he said, smiling at her. T see you're having a nice time."
 Tonnibel shook her head.
 NO, ain't, and Gussie ain't, either" she replied almost sullenly. By a skIllful twist of the paddle Philip MacCauley drew the canoe close to the dock.
 'Is this the boat you told me you lived onT" he asked, climbing up be- side her and holding the canoe fast by a rope.
 "Yes, the Dirty Mary" answered TonnIbel, with a little catch in her voice. Now live on her, mean to- day"
 "What do you mean by new you live on herY" he asked. "Isn't this your homer Didn't you tell me that|
 The girls dark head dropped, and the shower of curls almost covered Gussie to her short hind legs. Tears dropped silently. Philip touched her gently. "Where,s your motherT" he questioned.
 She lifted her head and looked at him through her tears. She wanted to confide in some one-yes, she did want to tell him, but the oath she'd taken on the gentle Christ flashed into her mind.
 "She ain't home just at present" she replied in low voice.
 Oh how she wanted to ask him If he knew of any work she could do!
 As If he had read her thoughts, he asked abruptly, "Can I do anything for you? brought you this"
 She made a slight movement with her head but accepted the card he eX- tended.
 Then there drlfted over the quiet summer day the tolIing of the chimes from the university clock on the campus of Cornell. She bent forward i to listen. It struck one, and drawing her feet from the water she got ID. She had promised to be at Pendleha- ven place at two o'clock.
 q got to go now" she said apolo- getically. Much obliged for bringing me some more salvation, mister Mebbe I'll see you again some time. Mebbe will"
 'When7" demaGded Philip, the blood running swiftly to his face. He felt a sudden renewed interest in the sol I emn girl, and he didn't want her to leave him at all.
 T dunno" she answered, putting Gussie under one arm. II mlghtn't be home when you come"
 Gan I come tomorrow" the boy urged.
 Yep, you can come," said Tonnlbel, with filling throat, but if there's any one around, don't stop This was all the warning she dared give him. Then she paused long enough to see him jump into the canoe, and for few minutes sine stood watching the craft as 1t danced away on the water toward Ithaca. Then she started for the doctors.

"As long as the practice prevails
in this country of disregarding the

of his guilt the positive identified

woman-witness and accuser, so long
will many as innocent Colored man be
executed and the guilty person escape
punishment. A sham trial, with its
