CHAPTER III.
The Picture of a Baby.
Tonnihel's heart Jumped almost Into
her throat, then seemed to cease beat
Ins;. There stood her father growling,
enraged and drunk, ntid as If she were
dead and no longer able to help her
child, her mother lay almost within
touching distance. If Uriah carried
out ids plans, then the horrid fellow
there would soon claim her as his
woman. That thought frightened her
so that she stuped back as the new
comer came upon the deck.
"What's the matter, Ily?" he asked
quite casually.
"He's killed mummy," burst forth
the girl. "Ami If both you fellers don't
want to get pinched, you'd better
scoot often this boat."
Uriah laughed, and lleggle's high
pitched cackle followed.
"Been giving your woman a little
discipline, eh. pal?" he demanded,
turning on Devon. "Well, they all
need It now and then. But she's the
liveliest hrmthing corpse 1 ever saw.
Did yon hit 'er. I>ev?"
"Yep." growled the other man. "nnd
I'm goin' t<> beat Tony. too. The Im
pudent brat says she wouldn't marry
you If you was the last man llvln".
You watch the brat there. Itege, while
I duck Kde In the cah!n.>'
Tonnihcl, wide-eyed and suffering,
saw Iiit father lift her mother up In
his brawny arm-- and carry her down
stairs. none too gentl/. When he had
disappeared. a throat sound made her
i suing her eyes to the other man. He
I was contemplating her with a smile,
I an c\II -ml!.', such as she nated In
I men. II < white teeth seemed like
j ninny gleaming knives, sharp, strong
I and overhanging. his red lips spread
i Inc away from them.

' "Why so much fuss about nothing,
my little one?" he said, cooing.
| "Paddy s.till I h;.d to marry you,"

stray curl from her brow. "Rut I

I she saw no opportunity to escape.
| Reginald Rrown was blocking the
j small spare tlirotitrh which she must
| fly if she were to he saved at all. She
I knew very well If she could hide far
1 a little while the two men would drink
until they slept. Then "-lie could come
back and help her mother. Plainly
she had heard the woman weeping be
low In the cabin, and even more plain
ly to her suffering ears came Devon's
blows, and after that—silence.
Her heart thumped like a hammer
against her side. Behind her lay the
I shining lake. And one hasty glance
I over her shoulder only added to her
j fear. There was not a sign of a boat
i anywhere. She was frantic enough to
j scream if It would have done her any
1 good.
| "I think I'll kiss you. my little bird,"
! said Reggie, suddenly, narrowing his
' eyes. "You're pretty enough for any
| one to want to kiss. By Jove, I never
! realized until today Just how much I
j liked you. If I kissed you, well—per
i haps you'd change your mind about—
1 about things."
■ Tonnihel slid backward to the boat
• rail. When she touched It, she whirled
j about and dove headlong into the lake.
I When Reginald Brown saw the girl's
J feet disappear under the water, he ut
! tered an oath and cried out. He hadn't
| expected such an action on her part,
j He ran to the cabin steps aud
j screamed to Devon.
j "She's in the lake, I!y," he shivered
j as the other man sprang to the deck.
When Tonnihel felt the water over
: her, she swept to the lake's bottom
| with one long stroke. Then deftly she
1 rid herself of her dress skirt and be
] gan to swim swiftly under the water.
| They were tense minutes that the
• two men stood waiting, until suddenly
j beyond them 'o the south n curly head
| came above th-» water's edge. Then
j they leapt to the shore and raced to
j ward the place she must land. To
j the panting girl It was a race for life.
| Suddenly, like a flashing glimpse
| from Heaven, the words, "Stand Still
j and See the Salvation of the Lord,"
floated before her eyes like a flame of
I gold. Philip MacCauley's deep voice
seemed to speak them in her ringing
ears immediately after. "Goddy," slie
groaned, "Salvation of the Lord, oh,
darlin' Salvation."
Just then her feet touched the peb
bles on the bottom of the lake. With
one wild leap she was on the shore
and up the bank, Uriah screaming at
her to ston.
sne neara ine rwo men crasniug
lifter her. That her short, swift leaps
could outdlstunce tliom for long If she
tried for the boulevard, she had no
hope. But all about ner were giant
friends with outstretched arms, offer
lng her shelter. For one instant she
paused, then sprang Into the air,
caught the lower Branch of a great
pine tree an 3 like a squirrel scurried
up It. Almost at the top, spanned over
by the blue sky, she crawled out to
the end of a big limb and clung to It
Beneath her the men paused and
shouted cttrtes up at her. Tonnibel
cared nothln:; for curses. She'd heard
them all her life, used them, too, when
she felt like 5t
Suddenly there came to her ears the
lapping of a paddle In the lake. She
Hung up her lead, peeped out and saw
a canoe taking Its leisurely way to
ward lthaea. Site bent over and looked i
down.
"Daddy," she cried, "there's some
one rowin' en the lake. I'm goln' to
holler like li—I. And when he comes,
I'll tell 'itu how you banged Ede, and
if she's crooked you'll both get Jailed.
. . . Here's where I holier 1"
She sent out a quick birdlike trill,
and tlie tnan In (he canoe held his
paddle suspended in the air as he
studied the forest. This didn't Inter
est Tonnibel as much as did the fact
that Devon and Iteggie Brown Jumped
to their feet and raced away toward
I the boulevard. Tounibel from her
| perch saw them disappear toward
| Itliuea before she slid to the gro nd.
The man In the canoe, ioo, made but
i a short pause before lie dipped his
I paddle and shot away. On the deck
| of the boat Tonnibel picked up Gus
i sle-l'lglet and. dripping wet. went
; swiftly down the cabin steps. There
she found her mother on the bunk, her
I face discolored by her husband's
blows. She looked as If she were dead,
I atnl for a moment the forlorn child of
I the wilderness uttered heartbroken
I little cries lor help.
j The cabin was cluttered In the
I struggle Uriah Devon had had with
! his wife. In despair Tony looked
| around. The old clothes daddy had
brought home were 6trewn over the
i cabin floor. Tonnibel heaped them
together, then began to examine them.
| They needed nothing but pressing,
j This she'd do to save her mother the
work; and perhaps the fact that he
j hatl something ready to sell would
I make Uriah less brutal when he came
j back. In runulng her fingers over a
j coat, searching for small rents, Tony
I felt something between the lining and
outside, a book It seemed like, which
| fhe hastily pulied out. It was small
| and much worn. There wasn't any
t ioney In It, In fact nothing but a pic
tire, wrapped up In paper.
[ She looked at the picture curiously.
] A baby's face smiled up at her, and
She Looked at the Picture Curiously.
Iier own lips curved a bit In answer to
the laughing challenge tn the little
one's eyes.
Then she turned It over.
On the back was written:
"My baby, Caroline Pendlehaven,
aged six months. If this picture Is ever
lost the finder will receive a money re
ward by returning It to Dr. Paul Pen
dlehaven, Pendlehaven Place, Ithaca,
N. Y."
Money was what Edle needed.
Money, food and a doctor. If she
could find this Paul Pendlehaven, per
haps In exchange for the picture he
would give her a bottle 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 canal boat and
with Gussle in her arms was soon lost
In the forest.
CHAPTER IV.
The Pendlehavens.
In all of Tompkins county no family
had more nrestl'.'e than Peadlehavens*.
John find Paul Pendlehaveu liau
chosen medicine and surgery as their
vocation when they were In college.
John was a bachelor, 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 at the birth
of their daughter, and the disappear
ance of the little girl when she was
but a year old. Pendlehaven 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 Reginald. Mrs. Cartls was a sec
ond cousin to the Pendlehaven broth
ers and had made her home with them
since her children had been left father
less. Mrs. Curtis had burled two hus
bands, Silas Curtis, the father of
Katherlne, and Edmund Brown, the
father of Reginald.
For over a year now Paul Pendle
haven had not left his apartments In
the southern wing of the house. Many
times he had told his brother, John,
that he only waited with what pa
tience he could for the call to go
away, to follow after his glrl-wlfe, and
perhaps, well, perhaps his child might
now be with her mother.
On the day that Uriah Devon re
turned from his week's bout. Doctor
Pendlehaven was seated opposite his
consln, Mrs. Curtis, at dinner.
"Sarah," he began gravely, "I wish
you'd consent to my taking Reginald
In hand for a time. He will be abso
lutely ruined If something Isn't done
with Iilra."
The coquettish smile which Mrs.
Curtis always used In the presence of
the eminent doctor left her face, and
her lips drew down at the corners.
"What's he done now?" she cried.
"He Isn't going to college at all,"
said the doctor. "He won't pass any
of his examinations If he doesn't go to
class and get his hours In. .■ .
He paused a moment and then went
on, "Another thing I dislike to speak
of, but I must Reginald has no Idea
of mine and thine. I'm very much
afraid he takes what doesn't beloug
to him."
Mrs. Curtis uttered a squeal.
"Goodness gracious, you accuse htm
of stealing." she screamed.
"I'm afraid he does. Sarah" he an
swered gently. "Constantly I'm miss
ing money and things. It will liurt
you to know that some one almost
stripped ray wardrobe of clothes, and
now I find there Isn't much left for
poor Paul. Paul Is very much dis
tressed ! I suppose If Reginald did
take them, he thought they were of no
value!"
"Were they?" queried Mrs. Curtis,
leaning over the table, still very
nugry.
"Whether they were or not, Sarnh,"
replied Doctor Pendlehnven, 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 prized 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
whatever the amount Is."
"How perfectly disgusting," snapped
Mrs, Curtis. "If the child did sell
them, thinking they were no good,
you'd certainly not want them back
from a second-hand shop."
Doctor Pendlehaven rose from the
table.
"Ask him about the suits, Sarah,"
he said, walking toward the door.
"Perhaps If you tell him Paul will
give him a hundred dollars for them
and the contents of their pockets, he'll
look them up."
Mrs. Curtis rose with dignity, her
damp handkerchief clenched in her
hand.
"Til not Insult my only son," she
said distinctly.
