Katherine were talking over the event*
of the night
" I f T o n y ll only stl'lc to » h i t she's

"nothing could be bet.er. She'll prob­

"Itege's such a fool.* commented the
girl. " I wonder If s le really did aay
she loved him. Bbe rfmply couldn't
care for him when she has Philip, nor
after knowing he tried to kill Cousin
Paul. I'd like to know what's behind
It all."
Tony received the call to the
library listlessly. Nothing that any­
one could say now would make her
lot any eaaler. Nothing! Nothing!
Philip, her new father, kind Uncle
John, all had vanish'd In the waters
o f bitterness that had overwhelmed
her.
The room seemed full of people

spread over her face. Doctor Paul,
his eyes soft and gleaming, hla Ups
twitching nervously, drew her down
beside him.
"Mummy doesn't know anything
about It,” gasped the girt, extending
her arms to Edith. “ Í won't hear any­
one say—Oh. Uriah,” she turned to
Devon, “ you know. Oh. say I did It.”
"W on’t say any such thing,” mut­
tered Uriah.
"O f course he won’t, Tony.” exclaim­
ed Doctor John. “ We know the truth
now.”
Tonnlbel got to her feet, pulling her-
self away from Paul l ’endlehaven.
"Oh, you can't arrest my pooi; little
mother,” she cried. “ Her whole life
has been so miserable.
I must help
her. You must. you. Philip— ”
Philip got out o f his chair, but Doc­

side her daughter, who turned away
contemptuously.
“That settles one question," com-
merited Doctor Paul, grimly. “ You
shot Devon, Reggie." and the boy sank
Into a chair beside his mother. "N ow ,”
continued the doctor, “ who robbed the
safe?"
To know that her mother hadn't
done the shooting relieved but one of
Tonnlbel's worries. Uriah wasn't hurt
much anyway, but the doctor's ques­
tion brought vividly to her mind an­
other danger, not a whit less serious.
Edith was certainly Involved In looting
the safe!
“ I told you once." Tony began
weakly.
“ Child.” Interposed Doctor Pan!.

Doctor John opened It and, amid an

“ Plain stealing.” he growled, and
then he stared at Mrs. Devon In open-

“ What'd you

Edith paid no attention to Doctor

band.
"Uriah, now you went and done It
again I" She turned to Doctor Paul.
“ You got everythin' back, give me my

Once he was sent away, and she had

In a hurry.”
Doctor John reached Into the drawer
o f the table near him and produced
the roll o f bills that Philip bad found
on Devon the night before.
"H ow about this, you?" he Inquired
o f Devon. “ Where'd thla come from
before It was In your pocket? While
we're at 1L we might as well clear up
everything."
The center of Interest. Uriah Devon
shifted uneasily in his chair. He had
discovered the loss o f the money but
had not dared to make any Inquiry
about 1L* Hastily he ran over the sit­
uation. and It appeared to him as hope­
less as possible, but five thousand dol­
lars was a good thing for a man to
have, whatever hla position. I f Mrs.
Curtis claimed the money, her connec­
tion with him would come out. and
that might make things easier for him.
I f she dldn'L he'd have the cash any­
how.
"That's mine, mister.” he grunted,
“ and I didn’t steal It, neither. Give It
to me.”
The same considerations had been
chasing through Mrs. Curtis' mind,
and. In the general cataclysm that she
saw before her, she concluded the
money might be very necessary for
her and her children.
"Don t let him have'It, John,” she
screamed. “ It's mine. Give It to me.”
Doctor John arose and stood be­
tween Uriah and Mrs. Curtis, holding
the roll of bills In his hand. Amidst
the closest attention o f the rest of the
group, he looked from one to the other,
while the claimants (Qdulged tu a dis­

Uriah,

"Didn’t you?"
“ Yea. I suppose I did,” she acknowl­

said you would.”

bled. “ I f that fool o f a son of yours

he stated.
“ You're too d— d easy.

Curtises In a sweep o f his hand. "E v ­

upon Reginald. “ Tou little pup," he
charged swiftly, “ you tried to poison

side and towered over him with up­

Reginald cowered, slipped out o f his

In Mrs. Curtis’ arms, who leaned pro-
tecttngly over him.
“ I — I wns drunk.” he excused him­

While Doctor Paul was settling the
fate o f the Devons, John Pendlehaven
had been sizing up the Curtis family.
They were grouped together, cliuglug
to each other.
“ Reggie,” he ejaculated, “ I reckon
you did a good Job when you stopped
Devon with a bullet last night. As
for you, Sarah, you and your children
aren't safe to have in the house.
H ere!” He stretched forth his hand
and offered the five thousand dollars
to her “ Here's your money. Now
go. and take Reggie and Katherine
with you."
Mrs. Curtis was so utterly overcome
that she could do nothing but sob. but
Katherine took the bills from the doc­
tor's hand and turned to her brother
“Come on. Rege," she muttered.
“ Help me get her out o f this. We
better go." She pinched her mother's
arm spitefully. "Get up, mother.
Quit that crying, and come on.'r
The others watched them leave the
room, and then Mrs. Devon spoke up:
"W e ’re nexL Rlah I And we’re ever­
lastingly grateful to you. Doctor Paul,
and you. Doctor John, for lettin’ us

Devon straightened up from his
chair and grinned sheepishly.
“That we be," tie agreed, “ and I ’ll
try to show It.”

That evening when Tonnlbel and
Philip were alone together, the young
man said chokingly. “ You dop’t for a
moment Imagine I ever believed you
did that thing, darling? I went away
because I thought you didn't love me
any more, that you never had loved
me. You don't think— any other way?"
“ No, dear," she answered gently.
“ No, o f course not I”
The boy pressed her to him, and,
