reading, when a servant appeared and
told her some one wanted to see her
downstairs. Her heart bounded with
delight, for she was sure Philip had
come again and had sent for her. She
rushed to the glass, caught a glimpse
of her rosy face, pushed back & few '
stray curls and went downstairs to
the drawing room.
As she stepped inside, she came to
a sudden terrified halt. Her father
was seated in a large chair and his
eyes, red and swollen, were centered
upon her. Then he smiled, that-wick-
ed smile that always widened his
thick lips when he had succeeded in
some evil thing.
"Hello, Tony," he chuckled. “You’ve
made a fine nest for yourself, huh?"
Tony only stared at him. She felt
suffocated by his sudden appearance.
“I came to talk to you, kid,” he
said, the wheedle coming into his
tones that always augured bad for
the person addressed. “Sit down."
Tonnibel sat, not because he told

"Leave?" Mrs. Curtis screamed.
"Where would I go? I haven’t a place

Just don’t ask me. Reggie's not my
son. and I haven't any sympathy for
him.” With that she made for the
door and was gone.
For over an hour the angulshed
mother walked up and down. Then

came heavy footsteps in the hall. Be-
fore anyone could figure on the cause
of this commotion, the door burst

sight of them, he made a dash for the
window, but two heavy officers were
on him before he was half way across

“She would be if she didn’t cry so

Good for Evil.
Thut night for dinner, five people
sat about the Pendlehaven table. Reg-
gie, pale and miserable looking, sat
next to his mother, and Philip Mac-
Cauley was opposite Doctor John.
Katherine, silent and morose, was at
her own place. She had heard her
mother’s version of the afternoon’s
happening in amazement and anger,
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 use
to him in prison, my dear Surah,” was
hi* 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.

well I couldn't ask him through her.”
“Then what will you do?" demand-
ed the girl. “You ray Cousin John
won’t help Rege, and you refuse to
ask the girl to ask Cousin Paul. Then
what will you do?"
"You ask her, Kathie," said Mra.
Curtis, in coaxing tones.
Katherine tossed her head.

he went on with a wave of his hand
to atop her plea. "You are ruining

The woman knew what her cousin
said was true; but the money she had
to have. Yet she dared not confess
what made It necessary.

brokenly, “he’ll go to a place I send

Mrs. Curtis fled away almost dis-

how could she face him without a

to me, little girl?” he questioned in a
kindly tone.
Tonnibel nodded.
“She suys Doctor John don’t like
her boy, and mebbe you’d help her,"
said the girl, blushing.
The man considered the red face a
moment.
"Would it please you to have me
help her and him?” he then queried.
"I should think you’d be the last per-
son to ask that. My brother told me
she’s always very unkind to you."
"She don’t know any better," re-
plled Tony. “She’s never learned
what lovin’ awful hard means, end
mebbe she’s so worried over her boy
she’s got to be horrid to some one."
Paul Pendlehaven laughed, then he
grew grave. "Perhaps that’s it. Now
do you think you could find my cousin
and bring her here?”
Tonnibel looked at him doubtfully.
"She might make you nervous," she
said dubiously.
“I don’t think so," replied the doc-
tor, smiling. "I’m so much better. We
won’t speak of this to John, and I
won’t get nervous." He made the
last promise because the girl’s face
was troubled and anxious.
Tonnibel nodded and hurried out.
She knew which room Mrs. Curtis oc-
cupied and songht the other wing of
the house. When she knocked at the
door, a woman’s voice called a low:
"Come In !"
Tony stepped inside and, turning
shut the door before she took a sur-
ask Tonnibel to come out to Doctor
Paul’s conservatory for a minute.
Tony silently stared at the white
woman when they came face to face.
Mrs. Curtis swallowed her pride, gulp-
ing at the lumps that rose in her I
throat.
“I’m sorry about this afternoon.
Miss Devon,” she said. "I really didn’t
understand."
Tonnibel thought in a flash that
Mrs. Curtis must have gotten re-
ligion : nothing but a softening of j
heart could account for the apology.
"Never mind," she choked. "I’m
awfully sorry about my daddy, but if
he will be bad, then I suppose be

Tills statement renewed the dread
In Mrs. Curtis’ heart about her son.
"Could you take a message to my
Cousin Paul for me?” she ventured.
“What Is It?" asked Tonnibel,
thickly.
“My son Is III," Mra. Curtis ex-
plained tearfully, "and he must go
away. I haven’t any money, but If
Paul knew about it he’d help me.
Will you ask him?”
Tony thought a minute.
“Not tonight!” she replied. "Mebbe
Doctor John—"
“No, he hates my son." the other
cried passionately. “Oh, you mustn’t
say anything to him about it."
Tonnibel Devon was awfully
tempted to refuse the haughty woman
who had pulled her around by the
hair only that afternoon. But she re-
membered Philip, remembered hla
love for her, and relented.
"Come along back tomorrow morn- ■
ing, and mebbe I can get you some."
she answered, walking away. Then
over her shoulder she flung back. “I’ll
try, anyhow."
With this last statement Mrs. Cur- '
tis had to be satisfied. Reggie suf-
