"Why so tmirli fuss about nothing,

"Paddy said I had to rry yon,"
breathed the girl, brushing back a

don't! I'm goln' t stay with my

See? Huh?"
""Who spoke of n law?" smiled
Frown. "I didn't ! Rut I do know, my
little Tony girl, that you'll say a very
meek 'yes' when I get through with

Tonnihel sttddonly shuddered and a
hopeless, helpless feeling went In
waves over her. oh, to he anywhere
In God's clear, clean world! Away
from those gleaming lustful eyes! Hut
she saw no opportunity to escape.
Reginald Hrown was blocking the
small space through which she must
fly If she wi re to be saved at !1. She
knew very well If she cnuhl bide for
a little while the two men would drink
until they slept. Then she could come
back and help her mother. Plainly
she had heard !he woman weeping be
low In the cabin, and even more plain
ly to her suffering ears came Ievon's
blows, and after that silence.
tier heart thumped like a hammer
against her lb Itehlnd her lay the
shining lake. And one hasty glance
over her shoulder only added to her
fear. There was not a sign of a hoot
anywhere. She was frantic enough ti
scream If It would have done her any
good.
-I think I'll kiss joit, my little bird."
said Reggie, suddenly, narrowing his
eyes. "You're pretty enough for any
one to want t kiss. Py Jove. I never
realized until today Just how much I
liked yon. If I kissed you, well per
baps you'd chnnge your mind about
bout things."
Tonnihel slid backward to the boat
rail. When she touched It, she whirled
about and dove headlong Into the lake.

He rsn to the cabin step and

"She's in the lake. Ry." he shivered

When ToimiWI felt the water over

She sent out a quick birdlike trill,
and the man in the canoe held bla

studied the fort-st. This dldnt Inter

that Ivvon aud Keggle Brown Juniled

The man iu the canyc, too, made hut
a short pa:-e before he dipped bis
paddle and shot auy. On the deck
of the bout Tonnihel picked up Uus
siel'iglet lid. dripping wet. went
swiftly down the cubin step. There
she found her mother on the bunk, her
face discolored by her husband's
blow s. She looked as if she were dead,
and for a moment the forlorn child of
the wilderness uttered heartbroken
little cries for help.
The cabin was cluttered In the
struggle I'riah Ieon had had with
his wife. In despair Tony looked
around. The old clothes daddy had
brought home were strewn over the
cabin floor. Tonnihel heaped them
together, then began to examine them.
They needed nothing but pressing.
This she'd do to save her mother the
work; and perhaps the fact that he
had something ready to sell would
make I'riah less brutal wheu he came

coat, searching for small rents, Tony
felt something hetwi-en the lining anil
outside, a book It seemed like, which
she hastily pulled out. It was small
and much worn. There wasn't any
money In It, In fact nothing but a pic
ture, wrapped up in paper.
She looked at the picture curiously.
A baby' face smiled up at her, and
She Looked at the Picture Curiously.
her own Hps curved a hit In answer to
the laughing challenge In the little
one'j ee.
Then she turned It over.
On the hack was written:
"My baby. Caroline lYudlctiaven,
aged six months. If this picture I ever
lost the tinder will receive a money re
ward by reluming it to Dr. I'nul Pen
dlehaveii, l'endb'havcti I'la-v, Ithaca,
N. Y."
Money was what IMIe needed.
Money, fond and a doctor. If she
couhl liml this I'm ill I'etidlehavrn, per
haps is exchange for the picture he
would give Imt a hot tie of medicine for
her mother.
Hastily changing her wet clothes,
she slipped the baby's pictured face
Into her blouse, turned down the lamp
and crept from the ciinal boat and
with Gussle In her arms was, soon lost
In the forest.
CHAPTER IV.
The Pendlehavsns.
In all of Tompkins county no family
had more prestige than IVndlelmvens'.
John and Paul rcndlehaven had
chosen medicine and surgery as their
vocation when they were In college.
John was a bin helor, and Paul a wid
ower. At the time this story opens the
latter was an Invalid, his Infirmity
brought about by the death of his
young wife, who had died nt the birth
of their daughter, and the disappear
ance of the little girl when she was
but a year old. I'endlehaven place
comprised a whole city block, on which
stood a house, almost a mansion In
the family were John. Paul, and Mrs.
Curtis and her two children. Katherlne
and Heglnnld. Mr. Curtis wa a sec
ond cousin to the Pendlehavcn hrvth
er and had made her home with th 'tn
since h- children had been left father
less. Mrs Curtis had buried two hus
bands, Silas Curtis, the father of
Katherlne, and F.dinund Brown, the
father of Reginald.
For over a year now Pnul I'endle
haven had not left his apartments In
the southern wing of the house. Many
times he had told Ida brother, John,
that he only waited with what pa
tience he could for the call to go
away, to follow after bis girl-wife, and
perhaps well, perhaps his child might
now he with her mother.
On the day Hint Uriah Devon re
turned from Ills week's bout. Doctor
Pendtehnven was seated opposite bis
cousin, Mrs. Ctirtls, at dinner.
"Samh," be began gravely, "I wish
yoo'd foment lo my taking Reginald
In hsnd 'or a time. He will he abso
lutely ruined If tuuiethiug Isu't done
srltb Mm."
! The eoqusttlfh smPe which Mrm
Ci,rt':s always used in the prest-nce ot
the etuimitt iWtor left her face, and
i ber lips drew down at the corners.
"W hat's he done now 7" she cried.
"He ln t goiug to college at ail,
said the docw. "He wou't ss any
of bis examinations If be doesn't go to
1 class and get his hours lu. . . .
i He paused moment and then went
1 on. "Another thing I dislike to speak
' of. but I must. Ilcgitiuld has no idea
j of mine and thine. I'm very much
I afraid be takes what doesn't belong
j iti bini."
! .Mrs Curtis uttered a squeal.
j t;oodnes gracious, you accuse htm
of stealing." she screamed.
j "I'm afraid he does Sarah" he sn-
! swered gently. "Constantly I'm inlsa-
i lug money and things It will hurt
. you to know that some one almost
siripissl my wnrdrdi of clothes and
1 now I rind there Isn't much left for
; rr Paul. Paul Is very much dls-
1 tressed! I suppose If Heginnld did
take them, he thought they were of no
vnIiic !"
"Were they?" queried Mrs. Curtis,
leaning over the table, still very
angry.
"Whether they were r not, Sarah,"
replied Doctor Pendlehaven. Ignoring
his young cousin's appeal, "they didn't
; belong to him. And they were val
uable to Paul In that they held some-
! thing he prised highly. It hasn't been
my habit to Interfere between you and
' your children, Sarah, but I do wish
you'd ask the boy If he did take Paul's
clothes. If he's sold them. I'll pay
I whatever the amount Is"
I "How perfectly disgusting," snapped
i Mrs Curtis "If the child did sell
them, thinking they were no good.
I you'd certainly not want them hack
! from a secontMiand shop."
Doctor Pendlehaven rose from the
table.
I "Ask him about the suits Sarah,"
J he said, walking toward the door.
! "Perhaps If you tell him Paul will
i give him hundred dollars for them
. and the contents of their pockets, he'll
look thetn up."
Mrs. Curtis rose with dignity, her
damp handkerchief clenched In her
1 hand.
"I'll not Insult my only son," she
said distinctly.
With a gesture of despair, Doctor
Pendlehaven went out of the room.
For a moment after he'd gone, and
the sound of his footsteps hnd been
lost In the corridor, the mother stared
nt her daughter.
"The fact Is," she hurst out, "It's as
Cousin John says, I hnven't much In
tluencV over Keggle, but 1 don't be
lieve he's a bad as people say. In a
little town hike tht a person can't
take a step sideways without old wags
commenting on It. I hate Ithaca for
Just that reason."
"If Itcggle'd behave himself." re
plied the lady's daughter In a bored
tone, "he wouldn't have to be chat
tered about. My advice Is, mamma,
that you give him a good raking over.
If you don't mind your P's and Q'
you'll never have Cousin John for your
third husband. I can tell you that.
You're no nearer marrying him than
you were ten years ago, as I can see."
"I will, though. Miss Impudence,"
flashed hack the woman. "Pnul won't
he much more than In his grnve before
Cousin John makes me his wife. I
wish to heaven Tan! would die, and
and I don't notice with all your flirt
ing ami maneuvering you're getting
your claws on Philip. ; . . Ah, that
shot told !"
Katherlne' face had gone red at
the word, then very white.
"How perfectly vile," she exclaimed,
with a catch In her voice. Then she
straightened up and laughed. "Well,
I'm not forty-five years old and pre
tending I'm thirty-five, anyway, nor
do I dye my hair, and flounce out with
Ince to prove I'm young. There's
shot for you, mother darling!"
The Irate Mrs. Curtis rushed out of
the room, followed by her daughter's
mocking laugh.
For three years Katherlne had been
mndly, passionately In love with
Philip MncCanley, on Intimate friend
of the family. The young man' home
adjoined hers, and during his orphaned
boyhood he'd spent a great deal of his
(tare time at the Pendlehavens. But
S since he'd returned from France and
: hnd taken up the Salvation army
I work, n work whlcH Katherlne held In
j open contempt, the Intimacy bad
i about censed.
