so happy was DR.. Paul to have Ton
nibel back that he insisted on sitting
up to his dinner.
1T was a long hour, my DEAR" he
said, smiling. "But I'm glad you went
out. He's a nice fellow, Philip. My
brother and l have often wished our
young cousin would pattern after him..
but it does seem as if nothing can be
done with him. Even his mother has
no influence over him."
''Pve never seen him." stated Ton
nibel.
Hes scarcely ever at home" an
swered DR. Paul, "and the worst of
it is, he gives no explanation as to-
where he goes"
Then after dinner as usual Tonnibel,
with Gussie Piglet in her arms, read
from the Bible. The clock struck ten
when she arose softly and began to
prepare for the night. By the even
breathing of the man on the bed she
knew he was asleep, and as quiet as
a mouse she crept about softly so as
not to arouse him. The suite directly
back of Paul Pendlehavens had been
given to her. She went into her bed
room and made ready to retire. Then
over her night robe she drew a light
kimOno.
She turned off the electric switch
and stood near the window looking
out. Her heart sang with gladness.
She had but to hearken back to the
afternoon to hear dear voice telling
her of a great love, love for her, Ton
nibel Devon. How very much she had
to be thankful for!
Suddenly she saw the tall tree di-
rectly in front of Dr. Paul's room
shake as Il giant hand were clutch
ing at its roots. How could that be-?
There wasn't any wind, not even a
breeze Her heart jumped into her
throat as she crept away from the
window and back into Pendlehaven's
room. The little night lamp glimmered
dimly above the small table with its
load of medicine glasses. She stood
in the shadow and peered through the
screen. There among the dripping
branches was the quiet figure of a
man.
Her mind went Immediately to her
father, but she put the thought of him
away, for the form in the tree was
much more slender than Urfah Devon's.
DR.. Pendlehaven still slept, his face
turned toward the wall, and Tonnibel
squatted down at the foot of the bed,
keeping the dark figure in the tree in
the line Of her vision. She dared not
leave the room, nor dared she call
out. How often Dr.. John had told
her that his brother must be kept free
from shocks Of every kind. For an--
other ten minutes she leaned her chin
on her hand, still keeping her eyes

A Little Drop Of Something.

opened the door and entered. The
girl looked about for Mrs. Curtis, then
picked up a cigarette and lit it. She
was so white and drawn looking that
her brother stared at her.

"Well, I might cheer you up little
If l told you that perhaps before long
your iIlustrious Cousin Paul will be

The girl sat up and stared at him..
"Don't be a fool, Reggie she said
with a sheer. Cousin John says Paul
will be able to go out of the house very
soon, that by next week he can go
anywhere he likes"
Reginald got up lazily. He said
something under his breath that made
his sister struggle to her feet She
stood a moment and gazed with star
tied eyes at the door that had closed

He slept soddenly for an hour or so
and only awoke when a servant raped
at the door and told him dinner was
ready. He was too i'll to get up and
lay staring hopelessly about the room.
Then suddenly out of the shadows in
the corner fioated Tonnibel Devon. He
Igroaned and turned slowly in the bed.
Instead of getting better he was get

Philip. "And this time Oh, Tony,

Cousin Paul tonight that we're going
to be married." he said, and Tonnibel
had no inclination to forbid him.
With dark thoughts, Katherine was
watching for them to come back again.
She saw the happy shining face of
the girl, saw Philip lift the little figure
from the car and draw her up the
steps. Her teeth came together III
sharp misery as she turned from the
window and went upstairs.

1utter of a wistaria branch against
the screen and knew that the hour
had come. Another tense silence for
several minutes, then little scraping
sound as if a sharp instrument was
moving over wire. Some one was try
ing to get in. Tonnibel crawled for
ward on her knees until she was di-
rectly in front Of Dr. Paul.
She sank back against the bed and
waited.
The scraping sound at length ceased.
With a forward shove of her head,
Tonnibel saw that the wire netting had
been ripped fully foot, and then she
saw hand move little by little
through the opening, until long arm
was fully inside the room. Tony
watched it, fascinated. Then she saw
it wayer toward the table, pause, open
and lay some little pellets down with
out sound. Then long white fingers
drew off the covers of the glasses
noiselessly and picked up the pellets
one after another and dropped them
silently into the medicine. AS quietly
the covers were restored, and the arm
slowly withdrawn. Directly beneath
the window, Tonnibel rose up.
There through the faint light she
was staring into the face of Reginald
Brown. Instantly she recognized him,
and all the terror of that day when he
and her brutal father had placed a
menacing shadow over her swept her
nearly off her feet. Reginald had come
not only to harm Paul Pendlehaven,
but TO get her!

shot across her tortured soul, and then
through the break in the wire netting
she thrust her clenched fist. Reginald
took the blow she gave him without an
audible sound and fell backward into
the garden below. He was paralyzed
by the blazing eyes and the memory
that the body of the ghost-girl was
somewhere beneath the broad surface
Of Lake Cayuga.
Tonnibel heard him land on the soft
grass. and for few seconds she stood
