How Burmese Women Smoke.
M ?rehants smoke their pipes from
dawn until (iurk, in Korea, writes a
correspondent. The.- wiuat down
when they smoke, mid as the stems
of the pipes are 3 feet long, the howl
can rest on the giound. In Bethle
hem the hookah is very popular anions
the women and it accompanies the
moroiug and afternoon colTee-driuking
hour. Several tubes extend from the
water bowl through which the smoke
passes in a cooling process, ami the
women gather about the hookah, each
selecting a tube, and all drawing
smoke from the common bowl. The
Burmese maidens smoke a cigar HJ
lnchfs long and as fat as a good-sized
cantlle and with a white paper cov
ering. The longest pipes known are
those used by natives of the Belgiau
Congo. These pipes have stents 10 or
12 feet long, with small bowls. If
matches were used to light them a
friend would be needed to apply the
flame, but the native gets his light
by merely thrusting the bowl into his
camp lire.

For n moment after he'd gone, and

"If Iteggle'd behave himself," re

tone, "he wouldn't have to be chat- I

that you give him a good raking over. 1

KathoWne's face had- gone red at

"How perfectly vile." she exclaimed,
with n catch In her voice. Then she
straightened up and laughed. "Well,

CHAPTER V.
Doctor John Hac a Visitor.
After remaining hidden In the for
est fur some time. Tonnlbel stole
sluni imvnn! Ithaca In the catherlng
gloom. tier heart filled with hope. To
Set seine medicine for Edith. and to
take hack the picture to the father
■ who had offered money for It. were
I the two things fdie wanted to do now.
j tier youtig mind was busy with plans
I for her mother. If she could find some
work to do. and Edith would go with
her. she would fret well ncaln.
That evening. Just after dinner, Dr.
John Pendlehnven was sitting In his
ofliee. his mind disturbed, his heart
aching for the sick brother upstairs,
and he remembered that the first three
or four years after the disappearance
of Paul's daughter had been spent In
a fr::nr!c search. All those working
on the case had filially decided that
Edith Mlndlt, a young nurse who had
cared for the child most of the time
since her mother had died and was de
voted to her. had left home with the
baby.
He sat up suddenly, for distinctly
there came to him from the wide front
porch the patter of feet like the soft
footpads of some stealthy nlght-anl
tnal. He turned his eyes on the open
door that led to the porch—and then
he rose. There before him stood a girl,
n silent girl looking at him beseech
ingly—a curl nis demanding expres
sion In her eyes, and she was hare
footed. too. lie didn't g]>cak, nor did
he move forward. She was uot a pa-1
tlent, that he knew, for only the rich |
came to hltii for treatment.
Suddenly she smiled and took two
steps townrd him. "Good evening,"
he managed to say.
"Paul J'entllehaven?" came In a
breath, and Doctor John shook his
head.
"Oh! I hoped you were:" was the
swift reply. "I want to see the doe
| tor."
The voice was filled with touching
pathos, and the young face had grown
suddenly grave.
"I'm one Doctor Pendlehaven," he
said. "Won't you sit down?"
Tonnlbel shook her head. She
couldn't sit down In all this royal
spleudor, she who had been used to
canal boats and rough benches to sit
on.
' "I'm klnda mussed up," she said In
excuse. "I've come to make a dicker
with—with Dr. Puul Pendlehaven."
"Ten me wlmt you want of my
brother?" he said gently. "Do you
want him to help you?"
"Yep, a hull lot," she responded, "a
great lot. My mother's awful sick.
But I can't tell how she got that way,
so don't usk me. But—but I thought
, mebbe if I brought Doctor Paul's baby
back—" She Da u£ed._dj-ew out of her

Silent Girl.
hlouse the picture anil nanaeu it out,
"I thought if 1 didn't take any money
for It, he'd help tue, and mebbe wouldn't
make tne tell where I got It."
John P.endlehuven made no move to
touch the little curd site was holding
nut to hlra, and Tonnlhel came nearer.
Iler fingers let go their hold on the
picture, and It fell to the floor. And
there before the startled man's eyes,
she dropped down and began to sob,
long bitter sobs such as John i'endle
huven had never heard from any of
his own women kind.
"1 wunt some one to help my mummy
so bad," came to him from among the
curls.
Then be shook himself, deep sym
pathy striking at him.
"Listen to tne, my dear; you've done
my brother the greatest favor In the
world by [(ringing back this picture."
He stooped and picked It up. "He
loved It dearly; no money could have
boueht It."
Tor.nlbel's eyes, filled with tears,
gazed up nt liim, and the red lips
trembled.
"I don't wont money," she faltered.
"But my poor little munimy's sick. So
I snld to myself If the picture was
worth cash, then mebbe I could get
some medicine as a change off."
"We'll go to her Instantly," said
I'endlehnven. "Walt until I get my
hnt and coat, and I'll tell my brother
you brought this to him."
In a few minutes he was back, find
ing her standing where he had left her.
Without a word they walked out In
to the night
As they passed the Salvation army
quarters the girl turned her head and
looked at It. But she made no remark,
and so rapid did she walk that Pendle
baven found himself taking long
strides to keep up with her.
— To say he was surprised when they
turned from the boulevard road to a
putli leading to the west shore of the
lake would be putting It lightly. But
he didn't ask where they were going;
somehow It made no difference to him.
His strong, warm hand held the small
brown one. and something In the touch
of the girl's lingers made him thrill
with pleasure. He found himself vow
ing that anything this strange child
should ask of him, he'd do, no matter
what It might be.
They passed over a culvert through
which water, In tumbling roars, took
Its way down the hill. Just on the
north side the girl stopped.
"Here wo are to the ragged rocks,"
she said. "There's the boat where my
mummy Is. See that little light? Stand
here a minute till I come back and get
you."
It had suddenly occurred to Tonnl
be] tliat perhaps her father might
have ventured home. If so, then she
must prepare him for the doctor's com
ing.
She went Immediately to her mother
and looked down upon her. The
swollen lids were stlU closed and the
wan white face brought a rush of
tears to the girl's eyes.
"I've brung some oife to help you.
darlln'," she whispered, but the wom
an made no move, If by chance she
heard.
Clambering up the steps, Tonnibe!
was back at the doctor's side before
he scarcely realized It
"Mummy's ulone," she said. "Come
on."
Pendlehaven stooped over Edith De
von, gently taking her wrist In his
fingers. For some time he sat beside
her, then mixing a draught, succeeded
In pouring it down her throat The
weary lids didn't lift, but one thin arm
came rigidly upward, then fell back
limply.
"Some one struck her, eh?" asked
the doctor.
"Yep," replied the girl, and that was
all.
Pendlehaven didn't ask anything
more. In accepting the picture he Jicd
tacitly promised not to question lier.
What did It matter to liim how the
woman had come Into her present con
dition? He would do Ills utmost, his
very best for the sake of the trembling
child who had brought back the baby's
picture which might bring a new de
sire to live In his nrother, Paul.
"Come outside," he said ut length,
rising. "I waat to talk to you. She'll
sleep a long time, perhaps until morn
ing."
"She'll get well, huh?" demanded
Tonnlbel, In a whisper.
"Surely," he responded. "Of course."
The thought of her father coming
home drunk flashed across the girl's
mind. "I don't want you to stay If
she's all right," she said with a back
ward bend of her head. "You said
she'd get well, didn't you?" At the
doctor's affirmative nod she went 011:
"Then I'll take you back up the hill,
so you'll be safe."
"No," said Pendlehaven, firmly.
"No, I won't let you. I can find uiy
way all right, but I can't leave you
like this."
Tonnibel extended her hand. "I said
I was going with you," she answered
crisply. "Come on, It'll be nil hours
before you get home now. I ain't say
In' I would love to have you In tiie
Dirty Mary with mummy and me, bat
you might get killed if you stay."
"And what about you?" demanded
Pendlehaven.
"Oh, I'm used to It," she responded.
"Somebody might give me a swat or
two on my bean, but that won't count
for nothln'l"
When they reached the boulevard,
he dropped her hand.
"Now go back," he said gently, "I
can find my way. Will you come to
morrow at two, and let me know how
she Is? Or shall I come down?"
"I'll hike to you," answered Tonni
bel. "If you're sure now you won't
get lost, I'll run back to mummy.
But—"
"I shall get home perfectly safe,
child," came In quick interruption,
and "Good-night. Thank you for
bringing me the picture and allowing
me to come to your mother."
