The responsible position of the old
family album has been usurped in the

with the ticket stubs, and pasted in
it, and the date of the performance
inscribed at the top Of the page.

much plot" 'very sad both of as

CHAPTER XVI.
In the RaIance

Reginald Brown and Uriah Devon
were seated in close conference along
the path that led to the Dirty Mary.
Reginald had rehearsed all he had
learned from his mother.
Unless we do it tonight, Ry," said
he, "it's all up. What do you say?o
Uriah broke off a blade of grass
and drew it with a squeak through
his crooked teeth.
"We'll get the kid" he snarled.
Mothers awful worried, though. I"
Reggie continued, ''but 1 told her, No
risk no gain and I'd go a long ways
on the road Of risk to get Tonnifel

bloodshot eyes.

young man. "Now, if it goes through
all right. you catch Cousin John on
the rebound, and Kathie'd be sure to
rope in Phil"
what joy that would be-" ejacu-
lated Mrs. Curtis. "What about it?"
Then Reggie told her, in very low
tones, the plan they had concocted.
"You talk it over with Kathie," he
advised, lighting a cigarette, "and
you'll have to see Devon about the
money"
"I'll get it for him If have to sell
my jewels and Kathie's too" prom
ised the woman, her eyes sparkling in
anticipation. "Tll go and tell her
right away"
Meanwhile, all unconscious that
Uriah Devon had been released from
prison and was conspiring against
her, Tonnibel Devon was entering
heart and soul into the Salvation
Army work with Philip. Each eve
ming she went with him to headquar-
ters where her fresh, young voice and
her kindliness drew many a poor soul
for comfort and courage.
One week after Reginald Curtis
had confded his secret to his moth
er, and she had told it over again In
whispers to Katherine, at an hour
when the Pendlehaven brothers were
absent, Uriah Devon came quietly to
the house. Reggie met him and took
him Immediately to Mrs Curtis room
Uriah paused embarrassedly before
her, made curt bow and twisted his
cap between his fingers.
"Sit down, Ry," invited Reggie.
"Now tell my mother how you are go
Ing to carry this thing out"
Uriah sat on the edge of chair.
II amt goin' to do anything. or tell
what I'm goin' to do, till 1 get the
money" he said crisply. "Tve got to
have five thousand dollars first"
give thousand dollars, old lady,"
grinned Reggie, turning to his mother.
You'll have to cough up. :.
Now, for Gods sake, don't cry! Dig!"
''Pll need the whole five thousand
to get 'er away, and to keep 'er after
I get 'er. She'd come streakin' back
If I don't rope 'er up.
"Tll get the money for you tomor-
row." sighed Mrs. Curtis, wiping her
eyes, "and you mustn't. come here
when my cousins are home" She re-
Iapsed into silence and then added:
II warn you against against Philip
MacCauley too."
Mrs. Curtis had been all eyes and
ears for even the slightest happening
in the Pendlehaven home, since she
had almost stripped her jewel-box
and Katherine's to get the emoney
Tony's father demanded. Now she
had it tucked away, ready to deliver
1t, but as the time went by and she
had no chance to send for Uriah To
come for his daughter, she began TO
give up hope that the house would
ever be rid Of the presence which was
a constant thorn in her flesh. But II
does seem that sooner or later Fate
plays the lucky cards into the hands
Of the undeserving, and so it han

Mrs. Curtis shook her head.

that it had refused to pay the state

but in making his plans, had foreseen
that, if they met with much opposi-
tion from Tonnibel, the woman, un-
der his threats, could handle her. At
nine o'clock they started for Ithaca,
Uriah carrying small black bag, and
In his pocket his revolver.
They entered Pendlehaven place
through the service gate. and, when
they passed the garage, the man no
ticed with satisfaction that Reginald's
automobile was standing ready for
use. Close to the mansion, he placed
his wife out Of sight under a rose

Edith Devon looked up from the
boat deck as her husband approached.
He sat down on the bench beside her,
a grizzly smile on his face.
"Ede," he asked, "seen any change
in me lately?"
Eyes, l have" she returned. "You
amt boozln' haf so much, and you've
been kinder and better-hearted to
me-"
"Mebbe it's because I've got re-
ligion," Uriah explained. Religion
makes a man repent Of all his cussed
acts. I'm sorry now, EIDE, for the
way I've treated you and the kid"
He couldn't have uttered words
more welcome to Edith Devon. For
the first time in years. she leaned her
head against him. 1t took some effort
on the mans part not to shove her
away.
"And matters have took a mighty
big change in the last two days." he
continued "Ede, / know, for years
you been worryin' your life out about

Mrs. Devon was on her feet almost
before the last words fell from her
husbands lips.
"How fixed it up. Riah" she
gasped.
"Now don't get panicky If l tell you
something" Uriah cautioned her, sly
ly, ''but 1 went to Pendlehaven and
told him l copped the kid, and not
you, and l says: Mr.. Pendlehaven,
you've had 'er for two years, and she's
your brat Now keep 'er!"
Edith fell back on the bench as If
the man had dealt her blow.
'The kids awful fond Of yOu," he
continued impressively. "and / up
and told 'er you was livin', and to-
night you're goin' to see 'er.
"She's go1n to get married to a
rich young feller," he went on. "Ain't
you glad, Ede?"
Wasn't she glad No words could
express Edith's feelings at that mo-
ment. How many times her heart
had ached for a sight of the pretty
child she'd had so many years.
Didn't Pendlehaven say nothin'
about sending us up for it?' she asked
timidly.

too glad to know Tony was his, to

Edith exclaimed in delight.

she said, leaning against him again,

'Oh, after a WHILE" said he. after

"She always was that" answered
Edith, and she fell into a deep revery.
Unobserved by his wife, Uriah De
Won made ready to leave the Dirty
Mary for some weeks. So absorbed
was Edith in her thoughts that she
paid no heed to her husbands sly ac-
tions. He knew they would not dare
to return to the boat with Tony until
after she had been forced to marry

CHARLES FAIL, OF WILDWOOD, is
A NOTED LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER

Did you know that there has lived in
Wildwood for some years a man that
once pulled the throttle on a loco
motive that made the fastest time of
any railroad train in the world? Such
is the case, and he is Charles FAIL,
engineer on the Wildwood & Delaware
Bay Short Line, a three mile road run
ming between Wildwood and Wildwood
Junction to connect this growing sea-
shore resort with Philadelphia. Mr..
FAIL is now about IS years of age,
lives on East Cedar avenue, and he
ran the train spoken of below, which
item is clipped from a Philadelphia
paper:
"The fastest short-distance regular
train in the world is n of the Penn
s%ylvania expresses running between
Philadelphia and Atlantic City. Scoot-
ing across the fiat lands of New Jersey
it travels 59.7 miles between Camden
and Atlantic City in 81 minutes from
start to stop. This is at the rate OF
62.S2 miles a hour. Only a shade
slower is the Atlantic City fier of the
Philadelphia and Reading road. Its
line from Camden to Atlantic City is
55E miles. The time is "a minutes,
the average speed is 81 2-3 miles an
hour. Lightning expresses these are
to be sure, but both are slower than
they used to be. Away back in 1899,
% years ago, the Philadelphia and
Readings time between Camden and
Atlantic City was four minutes less
than it is now. 1t made the run in 90
minutes, at the rate of 66.6 miles an
hour. This was celebrated everywhere
as "the fastest short-distance train in
the world" Twenty-Five years ago the
Pennsylvania average speed on this
run was 64s3 miles an hour, as COM
pared with 62.S2 now"

Stock Prices
Up for Day
On Late Rally
Favorable Trade Report.
From England Cause Rise
in Cotton Quotations;
Wheat Steady at Close

The familiar spectacle of profes-
sional traders in endless shiftings of
position seeking to test the possibility
of stock movements in either direction
again was revealed yesterday at the
New York Stock Exchange. Transac-
tions were slightly smaller than on
the previous day, and indications were
that there was even less outside par
ticipation.
Currents Of prices were as various
as the tides.
In the morning. the tendency Of Sc
curtty was toward lower levels. After
prices weakened, the market became
conspicuously dull Then rally fol-
lowed, after which came another period
Of marked quietude. A further reces-
sion preceded final upturn which
brought closing prices to a basis where
the averages of both railroad and in
dustrial stocks revealed gains for the
day.
In the rise, Studebaker was the
leader, gaining ah points more, and
the rest of the motor and allied
shares were firm. Reports from the
industrial precincts indicate that there
is trade basis for the present move
ment in the stock market. The
period of MAXIMUM dullness in the
automobile business seems definitely
to have been passed, and those who are
in position to know assert that the
automobile manufacturers are not only
releasing deferred orders, but also
placing new business. The purchases
OF the manufacturers are still small.
and they are for the most part operat-
ing on diminished basis, compared
with maximum capacity. There is
clearly no burst Of activity, nor any
thing like a boom, but apparently
genuine manifestation of a tendency
toward gradual recovery.
Although closing with slight gains,
the railroad stocks were subject to
severe selling during the day. Penn
sylvania dropped to new low, and
Chicago & Northwestern, which later
recovered, lost three points earlier in
the day. T. De Witt Cuyler, chairman
of the Association of Railway Execu-
tvs, in an interview took a more
optimistic view of the railroad situa-
tion than many Of his associates have
ment that the roads have touched the
bottom, and In the last fortnight have
been engaged in more profitable work.
The foreign exchanges were quiet
yesterday. Wheat quotations vaciliated
with feverish activity closing steady
after early weakness. Cotton prices,
firm all through the day, on the basis
OF more favorable trade reports from
England, closed 21 to 8 points higher

Atlantic Gulf Moves Upward

Every time that Atlantic Gulf and
movement either up or down the Street
is filled, with rumors to account for ths
trend. When the stock became strong
yesterday brokerage Offices were del
uged with inquiries for an explana-
tion. The story that Royal Dutch was
actively negotiating for the AGwI oil
properties was revived; another had 1t
that the company had been abls to
reopen negotiations for It's needed
financing, but none was confirmed In
quarters where most of the recent In
formation concerning the company's
affairs has been given out.

Stakeholder Leads Motor.

Studebaker, which sold earlier in the
year at 43ss, led the motor shares yes
terday in another brisk advance, and
by the close had scored net gain of
31s points. The high price of the day
was 10, while the last sale was at
72M. Brokers report there has been
a large short interest in Studebaker
which has stubbornly fought the rise Of
the last week. There seems to be a
good reason for an improvement in the
com pany's share position, Judging from
reports in automobile row, which tell
of substantial sales made since the
first of the year.
