ing at its roots. How could that be?
There wasn't any wind, not even a
breeze Her heart jumped into her
throat as she crept away from the
window and back into Pendlehaven's
room. The little night lamp glimmered
dimly above the small table with its
load of medicine glasses. She stood
In the shadow and peered through the
screen. There among the dripping
branches was the quiet figure of a
man.
Her mind went Immediately to her
father, but she put the thought of him
away, for the form in the tree was
much more slender than Uriah Devon's.
Dr. Pendlehaven still slept, his face
turned toward the wall, and Tonnibel
squatted down at the foot Of the bed,
keeping the dark figure in the tree In
the line of her vision. She dared not
leave the room, nor dared she call
out. How often DR.. John had told
her that his brother must be kept free
from shocks Of every kind. For an
other ten minutes she leaned her chin
on her hand, still keeping her eyes
on the window. Then she saw the
flutter of q wistaria branch against
the screen and knew that the hour
had come. Another tense silence for
several minutes, then a little scraping
sound as If a sharp instrument was
moving over wire. Some Cne was try
ing to get in. Tonnibel Gawled for
ward on her knees until she was di-
rectly in front Of DR.. Paul
She sank back against the bed and
waited.
The scraping sound at lelgth ceased.
With a forward shove Of her head,
Tonnibel saw that the wire netting had
been ripped fully foot, and then she
saw q hand move little by little
through the opening, until a long arm
was fully inside the room. Tony
watched it, fascinated. Tlen she saw
1t waver toward the table, pause, open
and lay some little pellets down with
out a sound. Then long White fingers
drew of the covers Of the glasses

"God, how I've prayed for this min
ute," he exclaimed, turning on her
suddenly.
81 have, too" said Tonnibel In a
shy, sweet voice. Il thought you'd
forgotten about me-"
"Why, 1 couldn't do my work half
way well, I've thought about you so
much" cried the boy, 'and I've been
planning a lot for you and me. You
see, DR.. John is a sort of a guardian
to me, and next year TIL be twenty

"Oh," said Tonnibel in queer little
voice.
"Yes. believe in early marriages,
Philip went on emphatically. Wasn't
it a queer thing that all the while
I was haunting the shore you were In
the house, my house almost? You
see, live just next door to you.'
"Oh!" Tony said again. Something
had hurt her dreadfully. Something he
had said. He might be married next
year and, of course, 1t would be to
Katherine.
"And time and again I heard how
much some little girl was helping Dr.
Paul." he went on. "But somehow
never heard your name and hadn't
the last idea" He stopped. Then
he slipped his arm about her. Il
didn't know she was my little girl,
he finished.
Tony closed her eyes. All the un-
happiness of the past weeks left her
that moment like a vanished burden.
He had said she was his little girl
How very lovely the world was!
Lean against me, dear" murmured
Philip. "And this time-Oh, Tony,
don't leave me today without telling
me you love me lot"
Tony glimpsed him with one little
upward glance. Her eyes were star
bright.
81 love you more'n the whole world, y
she trembled. "More'n / know how
| to tell"
It isn't any ones affair just how
many times Philip made Tony tell him
she'd marry him, nor is 1t any ones
affair how many times he kissed her,
but 1t is our business to listen to
Philips conclusion.
"Pm going to tell Cousin John and
Cousin Paul tonight that we're going
to be married." he said, and Tonnibel
had no inclination to forbid him.
With dark thoughts Katherine was
watching for them to come back again
She saw the happy shining face OF
the girl, saw Philip lift the little figure
from the car and draw her up the
steps. Her teeth came together in
sharp misery as she turned from the
window and went upstairs.

CHAPTER XII.
A Little Drop Of Something.


Reginald was sitting in his mothers
room that evening when his sister
opened the door and entered. The
girl looked about for Mrs. Curtis, then
picked up a cigarette and lit It, She
was so white and drawn looking that
her brother stared at her.
whats the matter, sis?" he asked
with no particular interest in his voice.
"I hate everybody in the world"
snapped the girl.
"Whew! That's some hate" laugh
ed Reggie.
Katherine threw herself down on
the divan.
"WOrst Of any one hate Paul Pen
dlehaven and next-well, next / hate
Cousin John," she said between her
teeth. II wish, oh, how / wish Paul
would die tonight. I'd almost like to
kill him myself. If 1t weren't for him,
we'd all have money, and if it weren't
for that girl with him, he'd die."
swell, l might cheer you up little
If told you that perhaps before long
your illustrious Cousin Paul will be
under the sod"
The girl sat up and stared at him.
Don't be fool, Reggie" she said
with a sneer. cousin John says Paul
will be able to go out of the house very
soon, that by next week he can go
anywhere he likes"
Reginald got up lazily He said

his sister struggle to her feet. She
stood moment and gazed with star
tied eyes at the door that had closed
Reggie on the other side Of it.
"Now, what'd he mean by thatT'
she wondered duly. "What did he
mean by saying that If he could help
1t Cousin Paul would never drive again.
wonder just what he meant by that |"
Reggie knew what he meant by his
words If Katherine didn't. He intend
ed to put DR.. Paul out of the way,
thus helping his mother as we'll as
himself. He wanted to get away from
Ithaca, to leave the town that always
put him in mind of TOnnibel Devon.
The least wind that blew brought back
/ the awful moment when he and Devon
had discovered the girl had drowned
herself, and because of his tormenting
conscience he drank more heavily ev-
cry day. After leaving his sister he
went to his room where he filed him
self up with brandy The drunken
be got the more dim grew the picture
Of Tony's pale, terrified face.
He slept soddenly for an hour or so
and only awoke when servant raped

OF all the maladies that aff1ict hu-

suffering, mental and bodily, OF the
victims of chronic dyspepsia.
A morbid, unreal, whimsical ano
melancholy condition of the NINA
aside from the nervous physical su1fer'
ing, is the usual state of the average
dyspeptic, and life seems scarcely
worth living.

Then suddenly out of the shadows In
the corner fioated Tonnibel Devon. He
groaned and turned slowly in the bed.
Instead of getting better he was get

So happy was DR.. Paul to have Ton

up to his dinner.
"It was a long hour, my dear" ne
said, smiling. But I'm glad you went
out. He's a nice fellow, Philip. MY

young cousin would pattern after him.

Then after dinner as usual TonnlDel,
with Gussie Piglet in her arms, read
from the Bible. The clock struck ten
when she arose softly and began to
prepare for the night. By the even
breathing of the man on the bed she
knew he was asleep, and as quiet as
a mouse she crept about softly so as
not to arouse him. The suite directly
back of Paul PendIehavens had been
given to her. She went into her bed
room and made ready to retire. Then
over her night robe she drew a light

She turned off the electric switch
and stood near the window looking
out. Her heart sang with gladness

her of a great love, love for her, Ton
