“ Did you send that awful Brown

Uriah glared at her, went white and

himself.

“ You'd better be cornin' along now."
” T w a s the man you said I had to

seeing ber words had frightened her
father. “ I bet you sent him here."
“ Keep your clack shut." growled
Devon. Just as the door opened, and
Mrs. Curtis entered. Tony whirled
and faced her, although she didn’t
have the courage to utter a word.
The woman looked from the girl’s
agitated face to Devon's, questlonlng-
Ijr
“This Is my kid. ma'am." said Uriah,
with a wave of his hand toward Tony.
“ I’ ve come to take ber home. Get
your duds, b rat!"
Tonnibel turned as If to obey, and
Mrs. Curtis caught her arm.
“ Go as you are.” she directed, “ Til
send your things after you."
Tony's eyes gathered a belligerent
expression.
“ I won’t go without saying good-by
to Cousin PauL" she began.
" I f she gets up there once," Inter
posed Mrs. Curtis, In an undertone to
Uriah Devon, “ you won't see her
again.”
Tonnibel had heard the words and
knew they were true. I f she could
get upstairs with Doctor Paul and
then lock the door, no one would dare
venture after her.
Devon saw swift Intelligence light
up ber face. He didn't Intend to allow
I her In a voice low-pitched and stern.
I “ I f jronr father think»— ”
“ I'm gotn' to have my girl,” gritted
Uriah.
"Then you hare the law at your
hand to n»e, Mr. Devon." returned the
doctor, “and you, Sarah, I'll ask you
to attend to your own affairs after
this.”
"Bnt, Consln John." argued Mrs.
Curtis, “ she's the man's own child.
Surely he has ■ right to—to—”
A sound o f ar bell pealing through
the house cut off her word*. Then
came heavy footsteps In the hall. Be
fore anyone could figure on the enuse
o f thla commotion, the door burst
open and several uniformed men
came In. When Uriah Devon caught
sight of them, he made a da*h for the
window, but two heavy officers «-ere
on him before he was half way arrows
the room. It took bnt a few minutes
for the officials tn explain to Doctor
Pendlehaven that they had been trail
ing Devon for a long time, that he
was wanted for a crime In Syracuse.
When they were leading him out
manacled and deeply enraged, he
turned on Ton nit«-!.
“ I’ll get even with you, miss,” he
snapped at her. his eye* full o f hate,
“ and r il get even with you too, rois
ter." He threw the last half of his
sentence at Doctor John, whose only
reply was a shrug of his shoulders.
During the struggle between the de
tectives and Uriah. Mrs. Curtis had
clutched at Pendlehaven's neck, hut
he had cast her off without ceremony.
Now the three were alone. Tonnibel,
palpitating and fearful. Mrs. Curtis,
sobbing on the floor, and Doctor John,
looking at her sternly.
’Sarah," he said haughtily, “I saw
the disgraceful way you were pulling
this child's hair when I came In, and
at last, much as I dislike doing It, I
must ask you to leave my house.”
“ Lea ve?^ Mrs. Curtis »-reamed.
“ Where would I go? I haven't a place
In the world but this.”
A careless gesture from Doctor
John told Tonnibel that that fact
didn't Interest him. She slipped her
hand Into his. Lifting eves that were
troubled and dark-circled, she begged :
“ Let ’er stay. Cousin John. Mebbe
she didn't know my daddy would have
killed me If he'd got me back to the
Dirty Mary."
Pendlehaven pat hli arm around
her. and with a ring o f fierceness In
his voice, said:
“There, Sarah, there's pity for you.
I f you stay. It's because Tony Devon
pleads for you. not because I have
any sense o f duty toward you.
I
hope you feel properly grateful.”
The doctor strode to the door,
opened It and motioned for her to be
gone. Then weeping, she clattered
away, her sobs audible even after the
door was closed.
For a few moments Tonv Devon
wept silently in John Pendlehaven's
arms.
“Oh, It’s awful to have daddy taken
away to Jail," she moaned, “ but he
won't be good, he Just w on 't!"
“You’re much better off to have
him away, little girl," soothed Pen

her roughly as Mrs. Curtis barred
her flight to the door.
“ Let me alone." she cried. “ Let me
alone."
Uriah snatched her hands, and Mrs.
Curtis buried her fingers In the dark
curls. As Tonnibel cried out again, the
door suddenly opened, and John Pen

dropped the girl s hands, and Mrs.
Curtis fell back with a startled ejacu
lation.
“ What does this mean?" questioned
Doctor John.
“ Sly father's here,” said Tony, her
voice breaking.
"H er father, Cousin John," Mrs.
Curtis repeated.
“ I’ ve come for my girl, mister,” said
Uriah, plucking up his courage.
“ And she,” Pendlehaven kept his
eyes on Tonnibel, "does she want to
go with you?"
“ Whether she wants to go or noL
she w ill," ejaculated the other man.
"Nobody can keep a kid from her own
father. I'm a guessln'.”
“Tony, child,” broke forth Doctor
John, “ don't look so frightened. No
one's going to hurt you while you're
with me. Come here, my dear.”
Ills voice was so low, so tender,
that Mrs. Curtis ground her teeth In
rage, and Uriah Devon felt hla power
ebbing away.
Tonnibel walked swiftly to Doctor
John's side and slipped her hand Into
his.
“ Those two snld I couldn't even say
good hy to— to— ” She bowed, her
head against the kindly i.nn that sup
ported her and for a moment was so
agitated she could not proceed.
“ Hush, dear.” pleaded Pendlehaven.
“ Hush I Do you want to stay here?”
“ Yes, oh, yes, sir. I do, indeed, sir I”
she cried. “ But— but— ”
“Then you'll stay,” the doctor told
Good for Evil.
That night for dinner, five people
sat about the Pendlehaven table. Reg-
! gte, pale and miserable looking, sat
| next to his mother, and Philip Mac-
Canley was opposite Doctor John,
j Katherine, silent and morose, was at
her own place. She had heard ber
mother’s version of the afternoon's
happening In amazement and Unger,
and It only added to her discontent to
hear Cousin John tell the tale to
Philip.
“ Sarah thinks.” went on the doc
tor. “ that we should have tamely
given her up without a word to— to
that brute!”
“ I can’t see how you can keep a
man's child from him. Cousin John.”
excused Mrs. Curtis, a dull red
mounting to each high cheekbone.
Pendlehaven laughed.
“ She wouldn't have been much uae
to him In prison, my dear Sarah,” was
his answer,
“ What're you talking about?” de
manded Reggie, turning red-rimmed
eyes on his mother.
“ Your Cousin John Insists on keep
ing the daughter of a man named De
von In the house here when her fa
ther wants her home,” she replied.
Reggie's face grew a misty gray.
“ Devon,” he repeated mechanically.
“ I didn't know we had any such girl
here I”
“ She’s always with Cousin Paul.”
remarked Katherine, with a sidelong
glance at Philip. “ It does seem sat
isfying, though, to know who she Is,
Mother says she comes o f common
stock.”
MacCauIey's face grew dark, and
Pendlehaven cast a glance o f linger
at his young cousin.
“ Both Kathle and I,” began Mr*.
Curtis. “ Why, Reggie, my darling, 1
never saw you look so sick In my
life r
“ Aw, cut It t” growled the hoy, un
steadily. “T e ll me what became of
the girl's father."
“ He's going to Jail for a nice long
re»..“ Interjected Pendlehaven.
“ It
seems he was mixed up In a theft la
Syracuse."
Reginald got np from the table.
“ I don't want anything more to
eat,” he growled, as his mother start
ed to remonstrate with him. “ I'm go-
Ing to bed.”
