Hill Smith Settles
His Property Quar-
rel tUifh a ReUoluer.

Who owns the Smith home at
1898 Rhodes Ave? The deeds say
it belongs to Isom Smith, but ac-
cording to all available witnesses,
it was the sole property of Hill
Smith, his brother for a few short
and hot Minutes Monday morn
ing, after he got through spat-
tering bullets around the premises.
1t appears that the whole Smith
family got together the money
with which to purchase the family
homestead, but somehow the
deeds came back from the lawyers
office made out to lsom Smith
alone, and whenever the question
of ownership arose, Isom would
flourish the deeds. Hill proved,
however, that the pistol is mightier
than the pen, and would no doubt
be in possession of the property
still, had not the police arrived.

CHAPTER XIV.
A viii Is Changed.

The two years that had passed
since Tony Devon had entered the
Pendlehaven home. the greater part
Of which she had spent In school, had
brought about many changes. Paul
Pendlehaven had taken his place
among the worlds workers, but this
does not say that he did not still long
for the child who had gone from his
life eighteen years before.
Mrs. Curtis was no nearer giving
Cousin John to Katherine as a father
than she ever had been, and Ithaca
had caught no sight of Reginald
Brown since he had fed from it with
the notion that he might follow Uriah
Devon behind the prison bars. Philip
had carried on his wonderful work,
living in the joyous letters he re-
ceived from Tony and spending his
spare time in answering them.
One morning Tony came to Paul
Pendlehaven, smiling and blushingly
girlish. and he motioned her to a lit
tie stool at his feet.
Darling" he began In a moved
tone, II sent for you because I've
come to perhaps the most important
decision of my whole life"
Tony glanced up at him wondering
ly. He appeared solemnly sober and
looked as II he hadn't slept.
IF 1t affects me, Cousin Paul, It
can't be greater than the one you
made over two years ago when you
took poor little me into your home"
she asserted.
His hand fell lovingly upon her
curly head as though In benediction.
They both lapsed into a long
silence, the girls dreamy eyes fixed
on space. and the man gazing at her
shining head.

Without needing in the slightest his
cousins bitter ejaculation, Paul Pen

his elbow. With much ceremony he
opened 1t and took out an exquisite
pearl necklace.
II do not need to remind any of
you," he said. turning his eyes from
his brother to his two white-faced
cousins, that these belonged to my
dear wife. 1 have always considered
them the property of her daughter

why I've always refused your request

door and was gone.
For over an hour the anguished
mother walked up and down. Then
as If she had at last reached a con-

quarters. There she sent the maid to

Completely overlooking Katherine,
Tony ran out of the room. The next
day she didn't look up when she
heard Doctor John tell Doctor Paul
that Reginald had left Ithaca. When
she peeped at Doctor Paul, he smiled
at her.
