The words were Strangled in her
throat, for Devon was forcing her

Edith's eyes caught sight of the re-

struggling pair.

Edith Devon looked up from the

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 dc it tonight, Ry," said
he, Its all up. What do you say?"
Uriah broke off blade of grass
and drew it with a squeak through
his crooked teeth.
"We'll get the kid" he snarled.
"Mother's awful worried, though" !"
Reggie continued, "but I told her, No

hands. "Here! Take this, too. Oh'

She flung herself upon the woman
frantically, kissed the pallid, impas-
sive face again and again and then
showed Edith out upon the dark porch.
It was while Tony's whole attention
was .centered on her beloved that Reg
inald Brown seized the opportunity
to sneak stealthily from the room.
The nervous women in the upper
part of the house had not expected
to hear the piercing scream that came
to their ears, and, as it was repeated
more than once with such terrible in
sistence, Mrs. Curtis, followed Dy
Katherine, fed down tie stairs.
Tony heard them coming, and a
surging love for her mother brought
q resolution full-born from the loyal
young heart. She was standing over

"She hasn't been here!" she sWal-

on the mans part not to shove her

"And matters have took a mighty

continued. EIDE, know, for years

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

"Oh, after a while," said he. AFTER

"She always was that" answered
Edith, and she fell into deep revery.
Unobserved by his wife, Uriah De-

Mary for some weeks. So absorbed

to return to the boat with Tony until
after she had been forced to marry

but in making his plans, had foreSeen
that. if they met with much OppOSl-

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

house.

Her cup Of happiness was full to the

OPEN DOOR IN

FARLEY RESULT
Agreement Would Be in Ma

WASHINGTON, Oct. IA solemn en-
gagement between the world powers
guaranteeing for all time -the open door"
in the Far East probably will be worked
out by the forthcoming Washington arms
conference, it was learned today in au-
thoritative quarters here.
While the American delegation to the
conference is not believed to have any
intention Of presenting a plan for such
a convention during the early stages of
the parley, it is understood this Govern
ment would like to see an open door"
covenant result.
Such an open door convention would
take the form of a formal treaty, it Is
believed, to be ratified by the several
governments concerned.
In brief the main provisions OF such
a treaty would be.
A guarantee of equal commercial
opportunity for all nations In China
Recognition of, and respect for, the
territorial and admin strative in
tegrity of China.
This forecast is on the basis that the
treaty will apply only to China, but it
is possible that 1t may be widened to
include the entire Far East as Siberia is
included in the agenda suggested by the
United States for the conference.
Then there may be specific ramifica-
tons of the treaty, such as a pledge by
the powers not to acquire additional
territory from China and a declaration
against the future establishment by the
lowers Of spheres OF interest in China
with their customary special privileges
In commerce and administration.
