He used to come to the ■Dirty M ary.'" explained Tonnibel, 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 dlehaven. C H APTER X III. He Caught Her Roughly. her out o f his sight He caught at 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 dlehaven walked Into the room. Uriah 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*.
