CHAPTER VI—Continued.
—5—
In another moment the girl had
Itripped off her wet clothes, had
Mown out the light and was in bed
beside her mother.
When Edith was assured the girl
slept, she crawled out of the bed and
lighted the lamp. She tried to collect
her thoughts, to lay a plan for the fu-
ture for herself and husband. John
Pendiehaven had been there! Pendie-
haven, the one man In the world she
dreaded the mention of! And Tony
had said he would come back tomor-
row!
She turned and looked at the sleep-
ing face, half-hidden in the blankets.
She had stolen this child from her
father, and now she had to escape the
consequences of her wicked deed. She
had to go away, and that quickly. If
she had dared to face her husband's
wrath, she would have, then and
there, communicated with Paul Pen-
diehaven.
She reached out and touched Tonnl-
bel's face.
"Baby, darlln', wake up," she said.
"I want to ask you something!"
Tony opened her slumber-laden eyes j
and smiled.
| "Don't go to sleep again," exclaimed j
Mrs. Devon, hoarsely. "Tell me this.
Do you honest believe what you said
about that thing on the card? About
It beln' holy?"
i "Yep," asserted Tony, with droop-
| lng eyelids.
j "Yon don't want to hurt Uriah and
me, do you, honey?"
The girl shook her head slowly, and
1 a doubtful shadow settling In her eyes,
; seemed to make her wider awake,
i "I wouldn't hurt -you, darlln'," she
! replied at length, "but sometimes,
\ when daddy's beatin' you, I feel like
I whackin' the life out of him. Why,
i today—"
Edith stopped her by a tug at her
sleeve.
| "If you swore by that card you
1 brought, I mean If you took an oath,
| would you keep It?" she asked hoarse-
i
j "You bet I would." There was
I nmazement, surprise and eagerness In
I the young voice.
I "Didn't you tell me the feller said
j Jesus was a holy bird?"
Tony nodded.
! Mrs. Devon gripped her fingers
I about the girl's arm.
"Mebbe he's In the Dirty Mary here,
only you can't see him. baby dear?"
The woman's voice was slyly toned,
but she shivered In superstition.
"He's right here," affirmed the girl,
thinking of a boy's earnest uplifted
facp nnd vibrant assurances.
i "Then say after me what Pm
thlnkin* of." said Edith.
Tony lifted her eyes to her mother's,
but drew hack when she discovered
how terrible she looked, white like a
dead person.
"I swear by the livln' Jesus," began
! Edith, and then she paused. "Say it,"
ihe hissed.
1 "I swear by the llrln' Jesus," Tony
repeated fearfully.
"I swear to my mummy never to
say nothln* mean against Uriah De-
von. my daddy." went on Mrs. Devon.
Tony repeated this, too, almost
frightened Into fits. She had never
>ecn her mother look and act so mys-
teriously.
i "Now say this, keepln' In your mind
j you'll be blasted to hell if you break
your word, 'I won't never tell that my
f.ither beat my poor mummy, or that
lie's a thief and a liar—"' A thick
tearless sob burst from the woman's
lips and brought an ejaculation from
the girl.
"I swear to It all, honey mummy,"
she cried "You believe me, Edle,
ilarlin', don't you?"
"Yes, I believe you," replied Edith,
dully. "Crawl Into bed, and go to
sleep, baby dear."
Shlverlnely Tony Devon got back
nnder the blanket.
Then for more than an hour ther
was silence on the canal boat, silence
that was broken only by the night
noises outside.
Then, extremely weak, the woman
prepared herself to go out. It took
her a long time to write a note she
had to leave for Tony, and when that
u ! bed. he divided the money
the doctor had left and stole softly
from the boat. ,
« «••••
It was In the full blaze of a morning
sun that Tonnlbel opened her eyes and
looked around the^cabin. The other
bunk was empty, and her mother was
not In the cabin. In her night clothes,
Tonnlbel went to the deck, shouting
the name, "Edith," her strong young
voice repeating itself back from the
woods in echoes. Then she went down-
stairs again and began to dress
hastily, and every moment her fear
was growing. She spied the note
pinned to the lamp handle and stared
at It mutely as if dreading to know Its
contents, but she unpinned it with fin-
gers tfiat seemed to be all thumbs.
Her legs were shaking so she had to
sit down to read it.
"Tony dear," it began, v
"I'm going to look up Uriah. 1 took
part of the money. We might need
some. You can go to work some-
wheres if I don't come back. Maybe
some day you'll see me. Leave the
boat where she Is so your daddy can
find her. I love you, darling. Remem-
Ber about your swearing not to tell
on your I'op, and don't tell I'm gone to
find him. MUMMY."
Tonnlbel gave a gasping sob. They
had all gone and left her stranded -In
a land of strangers. Because It was
no longer her home, she began to love
the silent old canal boat, and to wish
with all her soul that Uriah and Edith
would come walking down the cabin
steps.
For a long time she sat thinking,
looking out over the water, sometimes
with tears flooding her lids, sometimes
dry-eyed with fright. After a while she
got up, took Gussie to the lake, where,
much to the little animal's disgust,
she washed her with a scrubbing
brush and soap. Then she carefully
washed herself, letting her feet and
legs hang over the end of the dock
until they, too, were as clean as her
little friend.
It was while she was sitting there
with the pig in her arms that a canoe
A Canoe Slipped Under the Overhang-
ing Trees.
slipped under tile overhanging trees
and came toward the canal boat swift-
ly. She watched It comfng with no
show of Interest Directly In front of
her the paddle remained suspended,
and the boat came to a stop. Tonni-
bel's heart thumped, then seemed to
fall to the pit of her stomach. Here,
right before her, was the Salvation
man.
"How do you do?" he said, smiling
at her. "I see you're haring a nice
time."
Tonnlbel shook her heal
"No, I ain't, and Gussie ain't,
either," she replied almost sullenly.;
By a Skillful twist of the paddle,
Philip MacCauley drew the canoe close
to the dock.
"Is this the boat you told me you
lived on?" he asked, climbing up be-
side her and holding the canoe fast by
a rope.
"Yes, the Dirty Mary," answered
Tonnibel, with a little catch In her
voice. "Now I live on her, I mean to-
day."
"What do you mean by "now you
live on her?"' he asked. "Isn't this
your home? Didn't you tell me that?"
The girl's dark head drooped, and
the shower of curls almost covered
Gussie to her short hind legs. Tears
dropped silently.
Philip touched her gently. "Where's
your mother?" he questioned.
She lifted her hend and looked at
him through her tears. She wanted
to confide In some one—yet, she did
want to tell him, but the oath she'd
taken on the gentle Christ flashed Into
her mind.
"She ain't home Just at present,"
she replied In a low voice.
Oh ,how she wanted to ask him If
he knew of any work she could do!
As If he had rend her thoughts, he
disked abruptly. "Can I do anything
for you? I brought you this."
She mnde a slight movement with
her head but acecpted the card he ex-
tended.
Then ttiere "drifted over Ihe quiet
i summer day the tolling of the chimes
from the university clock on the
campus of Cornell. She bent forward
to listen. It struck one, and drawing
her feet from the water, she got up.
She had promised to be at Pendieha-
ven place at two o'clock.
"I got to go now," she said apolo-
getically. "Much obliged for bringing
me some more salvation, mister I
Mebbe I'll see you again some time.
Mebbe I will."
"When?" demanded Philip, the blood;
running swiftly to his face. He felt:
a sudden renewed Interest In the sol-
emn girl, and he didn't want her to
leave him at all.
"I dunno," she answered, putting
Gussie under one arm. "I mightn't be
home when you come."
"Can I come tomorrow?" the boy
urged.
"Yep, you can come," said Tonnlbel,
with filling throat, "but If there's any
one around, don't stop."
This was all the warning she dared
give him. Then she paused long
enough to see him Jump Into the canoe,
and for a few minutes she stood
watching the craft as it danced away
on the water toward Ithaca. Then slia
started for the doctor's.
DODSON WARNS
CALOMEL USERS
You Cannot Gripe, Sicken, or Salivate Yourself if You
Take "Dodson's Liver Tone" Instead
Calomel salivates! It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a slug-
gish liver. When calomel comes Into
contact with sour bile it crashes into
It, causing cramping and nausea.
If you feel bilious, headachy, con-
stipated and aU knocked out, Just go
to your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents,
which Is harmless vegetable substi-
tute for dangerous calomel. Take a
■poonful and if It doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomel and with-,
out making you sick, you Just go back
and get your money.
If you take calomel today you'll b«
sick and nauseated tomorrow; be-
sides, it may salivate you, while If
you take Dodson's Liver Tone you will
wake up feeling great, full of ambi-
tion, and ready for work or play. It's
harmless, pleasant and safe to glv«
to children; they like It.—Adv.

CHAPTER VII.
Tony Finds a New Home.
Many a person turned in the street
and looked at the bareheaded and bare-
footed girl as she made her way
through the city with a little pig snug-
gled in her arms. Tonnibel was hurry-
ing to Pendiehaven place, for she had
promised Doctor John she'd come to
his office at two o'clock that* after-
noon, and, if she didn't, he might take
it into his head to visit the Dirty
Mary.
When John Pendiehaven came in
and saw her he noted how pale she
was.
"Your mother," he began—
"She's gone away visltln'," gasped
Tony. "I don't know where she is."
"Didn't you see her this morning?
If she was able to get up, then she's
better. Isn't she? Is she?"
Tonnibel bobbed her head.
"I guess so," she mumbled. "When
I woke up, she was gone. I guess she
went to find—" She hesitated, then
ran on, "to see some one we know. So
me and Gussie come to tell you she's
better."
"Sit down," urged the doctor.
Again the curly head shook nega-
tively.
"I got to go," she told him, swallow-
ing hard. "I Just got to go."
Then a# her homelessness pressed
down upon he , She began to tremble,
convulsive sobs shaking her from head
to foot. The doctor forced her Into a
chair.
"There," he said sympathetically.
"Now teli me wlvat has happened."
"I can't," came In a gasping sigh.
"But mummy's gone away, mebbe for-
ever, and I got to find work. And—
and I don't kuow how."
Doctor Pendiehaven looked at her
thoughtfully. All through the night
the wan fa<?e had haunted him.
Suddenly Tonnibel put her hand In-
to her blouse.
"I brought back what's left of tile
money," she said, holding It out
"Mummy took some. You don't care
about that, do you? She needed It aw-
ful, mummy did ! But I couldn't keep
this because I dickered with you last
night about the picture, and you done
your share."
"Keep it," exclaimed Doctor John,
huskily.
"No," said Tonnibel. "I couldn't
ever sleep a wink if I did." And she j
thrust the roll of bills into his hand, |
giving a long sigh as If she were glad
to be rid of it.
It might have been this action on
her part that brought to quick fruition j
the resolve that had begun to live the
night before when Doctor Pendleha- |
ven had tramped along the boulevard
to Ithaca. F rom what she had told ;
him now, she had been left alone. Then <
there was no one to ask permission of j
to help her.
"Where's your father?" he said, j
abruptly.
"I dunno," answered Tonnlbel, a lit-
tle sulkily. She didn't Intend ever to
speak of Uriah to anyone.
"Then you are all alone, now that j
your mother's gone? Do I understand I
you haven't any relatives?"
"Not anybody." she hesitated, "at j
least, not now. Not anybody but Gus- j
sie-Plglet here."
She touched the little animal with 1
exquisite tenderness. Doctor Pendie-
haven leaned over and, placing one ,
finger under the girl's chin, raised her j
face to his. "Come with me," he said
softly.
Tonnlbel followed him through what ;
seemed to her long miles of halls.
When lie ushered her Into a room and
closed the door, she stood a moment
taking In nil Its magnificence. The at-
mosphere was laden with a heavy per-
fume of flowers, and then she saw
something else. A man lay partly
propped up In bed, his burning gray
eyes stating at her.
A Flying Furnace.
The average Meteor when first seen
Is about 80 miles above the surface
of the earth, and disappears from view
at 30 miles. Thus, It travels 50 miles
before the atmospheric friction burns
It up. This friction, It is reckoned,
raises it to a temperature of something
like 3,000,000 degrees.

You can catch the right kind of hab-

have them, pfek industrious, cheerful
people for yt ur friends, people who
mean to succeed and know how to do
it. You can expose yourself to all
their working habits with profit. And
if you get infected ?vith them, it will
make a big difference in the ease with
which you reach the goal ypu have set
for yourself.—John Blake, in Chicago

WELL KNOWN AS MOSES' POOL
Is Believed to Be That Mentioned in
the Bible in Connection With
Great Law Giver.
In the Egyptian desert, about ten
miles east of Suez, is situated a pic-
turesque pool known as "Moses' Well."
This is believed to be the well men-
tioned In the Bible, where Moses, at
the bidding of the Lord, cast a branch
Into the bitter waters, and they were
sweetened. Set in a deep grove of
date-palms and pomegranate trees, the
well Is a dark, calm, mysterious look-
ing pool, faithfully reflecting the
palms which fringe Its edges. The
scene at sunrise, when the first rays
strike the still water, is exquisite be-
yond description.
Attempts to Identify various nat-
ural beauties and locations with men-
tions or descriptions as given In the
Bible have always been difficult, owing
to the fact that the records of the
rulers of Egypt at the time of the cap-
tivity of the Jews were destroyed by
rulers that came Into power Immedi-
ately afterward. The motive was
Jealousy, and a determination to wipe
from the minds of the people any re-
grets for rulers gone.

Recently one of them has been talking
a great deal about the bad cold she
has and the fear she feels of taking
pneumonia. She was In the midst of
her discussion when the head walked
In. She listened a minute and then
said: "I wouldn't blame the Lord If
he did send you pneumonia."
The girl was aghast. "Why?" she
gasped.
"Just for the way you dress," the
older woman retorted. "You don't
dress as if you cared a bit for your
health. Your dresses are entirely too
low down at the top and entirely too
high up at the bottom,"—Indianapolis

It Is especially recommended as a sub-
