Tonnibel went to him instantly, as

TOnn1bel went to him instantly, nc
she always did when he called her.
"You will promise me something,
be insisted, as his hot hand clasped
hers. ''Tony, don't 60 out again like
you did yesterday. I shan't be able ia
stand it If you do"
Tonnibel's mind flashed to Philip
She felt sure he would go to the cor
ner Of the lake every day to meet her
as he had gone to the canal boat.
Yet as she gazed into the implorine
eyes Of her friend, she had no heart
to deny him his wish.
"Tm selfish, perhaps" the man went
on, ''but, Tony dear, If yo1 want to
90 out, there's lots Of cars in the
garage, and horses in the stable. Wont
you promise me?"
Tony thrust the memory of Philips
face from her mind. She put the wish
to be in his arms again, to feel his
warm lips once more on hers behind
her, and tremblingly smiled in &C
quiesCence.

but a sob prevented her from saying
anything more.

Reggie's fresh outburst cut OF his
words.
'Nobody'll ever treat her any way
after this" he almost groaned. "She's
dead, drowned in the lake."
A horrifed expression passed over
Philips face Then he realized that
Reginald didn't know Of Tony Devon's
presence in the Pendlehaven home.
"She's better off then than she was
the last time you saw her." he said
and whirled away.
Twenty minutes later Philip was
talking to John Pendlehaven.
"You promised last night I could see
her today" he pleaded. "rll promise
only to stay few minutes. May go
up?"
"No; I'll call Tony down." was the
reply. II don't want Paul disturbed
today"
When the boy and girl stood facing
each other, embarrassment kept them
silent for some moments. Philip had
decided to find out whether Tony knew
Of Reginald Browns connection with
the Pendlehavens, although he was
positive in his own mind she did not
"It's a nice day." he blurted out,
and Tonnibel's low ives" was her
only answer. How pretty she looked,
thought Philip, and how much he de-
sired to kiss her as be had the other
time in the breaking dawn on the shore
Of Lake Cayuga.
"Tony," he said huskily, don't you
don't you-like me at allT'
Tonnibel opened her eyes to their
fullest extent. Why. hadn't she kissed

with suppressed emotion. She wanted
to throw her arms about him right
then, to tell him how she had longed
to be with him, all about her promise
that she would not leave the house
again without some one with her. She
was considering this when

"He'll find me, mebbe," she hesitated,
a haunted expression coming into her
eyes, "Mebbe he will"
"No. he wont; not If you let me

Tony didn't understand why she
should promise this, and whimsical
thought came into her mind that she
was always making promises to some

Philip went away little happier end

Auditorium Safe From
 Noise Declares Martin

Noise as a drawback to building the city auditorium on the site selected by the auditorium committee was dis counted yesterday by Hugh Martin, one of the architects drawing the plans for the structure, as a member of the Bir- mngham chapter, American Institute of Architecture, in a talk before members Of the real estate board at the South ern club yesterday afternoon.
 MT, Martin declared that location of the front of the building facing on tiighth avenue, as planned. would solve the problem. He pointed out that the stage would be backed with wall un- broken by doors or windows, possibly a double wall, and that outside sounds would be cut to minimum. He also cited the case of downtown theaters all of which are practically surrounded by street car lines. Traffic over these lines is much more frequent than over the railroad tracks back of the audito- rum, as planned.
 'The site selected lends itself readily to the civic center idea also Mir. Mar tin declared With Woodrow Wilson Park as the hub of the project the buildings composing the civic center could be grouped around the park, talk ing in the territory facing the park at present
 The auditorium, being the largest of the buildings comprising the civic cen- ter as planned, can be built first with
