Tony Devon also had been awake
most of the night. In the morning
after breakfast, she set about gather

With Gussie Piglet In her arms, she
sat down beside him, and now the
minute was there to speak, Tony
didn't know how to begin. But to be-
gin meant to begin, Tony had learned,
so she coughed and blurted:
"Your cousin, Mrs. Curtis, is kind
Of pretty, amt she?"
"She would be If she didn't cry so
much," responded Doctor Paul.
This gave Tony the opening she
wanted.
Her boys awful sick, so she says"
she broke out, "that's why she cries.
If he don't go away, he'll die, mebbe."

leaned over and looked keenly at her.
"Did Cousin Sarah ask you to come
to me, little girl" he questioned in
kindly tone.
Tonnibel nodded.
"She says Doctor John don't like
her boy, and mebbe you'd help her"
said the girl, blushing.

"She might make you nervous" she
said obviously.

won't speak of this to John, and

Tony stepped inside and, turning,
shut the door before she took a sur

awful man she had known in the
canalboat days, the man who had
dropped the poison into Paul Pendle-

near Mrs. Curtis, and Katherine was
by the window, wearing very bored
expression.
An exclamation came from each
one of the three as the girl faced
them, looking as If she were ready to
