CHAPTER VIII.
The Fight.
Little liy little Paul Pendlehaven
taught her, ami little by little Tony's
salvation boy preached bis lessons of
Universal f.ove to her; and the eager
young mind drank In the knowledge as
a thirsty plant lakes III water.
There were no signs of Uriah and
Edith reluming, and Tonnlbel grew
daily more hopeless when she thought
of her mother. Perhaps she would
never see her again. She had strenu
ously refused to speak of her people
to I'aul Pendlehaven.
Doctor John noticed as the days
passed how much better bis brother
was looking, ami no wonder his own
heart warmed hourly to the curly
headed waif who had coaie among
them so mysteriously.
Unknown to either of the doctors,
Mrs. Curtis and her daughter had been
able to keep Tony Devon from meet
ing Philip M uCauiey in the house. At |
first John l'emllehaven had insisted
that Tony attend the family table, but
both Paul and the girl decided that ,
her meals should be served in the sick
room. Perhaps if Philip MacCauley
hadn't been interested In a certain lit
tle girl on a canal boat, his curiosity
would have taken Him to Paul's apart
ments t<> make the acquaintance of
the little companion John Pendlehaven
bad casually spoken of.
"She's a wonder, Phil," he said one
evening. "For the first time I've hopes
of Paul's recover}'."
"Good t" ri-plied Philip, and immedi
ately fell into a revery.
Tonidhel had reached the canal boat
and liail changed to her old clothes
when suddenly she heard footsteps on
the path beside the Hoghole. Her
heart almost leapt out of her irotith.
Perhaps her mother was coining home,
perhaps lier father. Tremblingly she
peeped out through the aperture. She
drew hack instantly. Iieginald Brown 1
was approaching the canal lioat. She
heard him cross the deck, and then the
footsteps leased. She lioped with all
her might and main that be wouldn't I
think of coining downstairs.
But that was exactly what he did
i!o. Siie c rouchi d up against the
hunk, s»s the boy stepped into the cal>
in. V i:«-ii he saw her a slow grin
Spread over i.is thin face.
"So you're here," he got out thick
ly. "Where have you been? I've vis
ited this place three times in that
many weeks. Where have you been,
I savi"
"Ho away." she said, half frightened
to death. "You'd hcter get out of here
before my mother comes back. She'll ;
beat you with the broom.'"
"I'm not afraid of your father or
mother," lie said tauntingly. "1 know
where they are."
The words sent Tounibel forward a
step.
"HonestJ" she gasped. "Is It honest
what you say?"
"Certainly," replied the young man,
"and they told me to come here and
ger you."
"Where are they?" Slip Iiml come
very near him now, lier eyes gazing at
liim wistfully. "Please tell me where
my mummy is!"
"Never mind Just now," said he, his
eyes taking iu her slight young figure
passionately, "llere, I want to kiss
you."
He drugged her forward until her
slender, quivering body was pressed
against his. He li: d said he intondcd
to kiss her. All the rebellion of a
primitive uneducated nature sprang
into life within Tony Devon. The
curly head darted upward for n mo
ment, mid the gray eyes blRzed Into
the muddy blue ones, leering down
upon her. Then, knowing no other
way to protect herself from desecra- .
tlon, she set her sharp white teeth
into KeggieV hand, sinking them
deep beneath his skin. A cry of hurt
rage escaped his lips, and he flung
her from him.
"You little vixen," he got out, shak
ing his hand in panic. "You little
wicked brat! There! Now I'll tench
you to bite nic again."
He sprang at her, and Tony
screamed twice with all her lung
power. Then something happened!
Someone grasped hold of the man
who had snatched her into his arms,
and for what seemed an interminable
time two forms struggled together In
the small cabin. For a few seconds
Tony didn't realize who Iteggie's as
sailant was; then with a grip at her
heart she recognized I'hllip's white
face as with terrible strength he
dragged Reggie up the steps.
Into her terrified eyes came one
strahge flashing smile of welcome.
Her salvation man had saved her, and
as e\ ery woman does in cases where
hpr need is great, she cried out her
thanksgiving in his name, that best
beloved name of Philip. By this tline
the two men were struggling on the
deck, and as if impelled by some un
known force Tony staggered up the
steps
ir was jusr us sue reacnea tue top
thnt she saw Captain MacOnuley, by
one mighty effort, lift the struggling
tlgure of the other man and throw him
Into the lake. A sharp ejaculation fell
from hor lips. Never had she seen
Never Had She Seen Such Strength.
such strength, never had her heart
sung us It did then. She trembled so
that when T'hilip swung back and
rushed toward her. she sank down at
his feet. As falls away an old gar
merit so fell nway Philip's anger. Ten
derly he lifted her up and spoke to
her.
"Poor little girl," he whispered. But
he had no time to add anything, nor
had Tony time to answer him.
For there on the Hoghole path look
ing at her, a frown 'dragging his brows
together, was her father.
Uriah Devon had halted at the sight
of a man being tlirown into the water.
Then he came forward, and the girl
loosened herself from the arms that
held her and turned swiftly to him.
"Where's mummy?" she demanded,
and again came a sharper "Where's
my mother?" Roughly shoving her
aside, Uriah walked across the boat
deck, his sunken eyes fixed on Mac
Cauley.
"What you tnussin' about my boat
for, mister?" he demanded. "And
what happened to that young feller
crawlin' to the beach there?"
"I slung him In the lake,"_ said
Philip fiercely. "Tb» pup was—was—'*
he made n gesture toward Tony as
Devon's Interruption belched forth:
"Was It any of your business what
happened to my girl?"
Uriah took another step toward the
young captain.
"That's your canoe, ain't It, roped to
my dock?" he demanded fiercely.
"Well, hop in and get away If you
don't want a broken skull I"
Philip sent a flashing glance to the
silent, white girl. There was such ter
ror marked on her face that his teeth
came together tensely.
"Ue can't go till my mother comes."
she broke out abruptly. "I won't stay
if he don't."
Uriah's hand went back to his hip.
"1 guess he'll go If I tell 'lm to," said
he. ".Just hop into your bout, kid,
before 1 (ill you up to your teeth with
little bits of hot lead."
Tonnibel hud witnessed* scenes like
tills before. She knew but a tiny pres
sure of her father's tinger on the gun
he held would kill her sweetheart
"Go along," she managed to get out
between her chattering teeth. "It'll be,
worse for both of us If you don't 1"
Devon was forcing Philip backward
toward the end of the dock, and by
this time Reginald hnd crawled to the
shore and had lain down upon It.
"Dun't lag, mister," cried Tony to
Philip. "Go along to Ithaca."
MaeCauluy stepped Into his canoe,
anil Devon sullenly unfastened the
rope and threw It Into the bow of the
craft.
"Don't come back here If you don't
want a taste of this," he snapped,
touching his gun. "Get out and stay
out, mister."
With the end of the revolver .he
gave the cauoe a shove, and Tony saw
the paddle dip Into the water and the
boy move away.
Uriah stood a moment and looked
off to the hills. Then locking Tony
in the cabin he went to where Reggie
luy on the shore and helped him back
to the boat.
CHAPTER IX.
The Face in the Window.
By ten o'clock a heavy rain and
wind liud settled over the Storm
Country with such force that the
waves were rolling southward like
ivory-crested mountains. Once In a
while a heavy thud of thunder rever
berated over the lake from the north,
losing its roar back of the Cornell
buildings on the university campus.
Devon's canal boat was following
th« littip 'us which was bueirine the
western shore no/ili ward. Tonniliel.
in the little room back of the ciiliin,
was searching through the darkness
from the small window. But the only
thing she could see was the dark hank
along which they crept and which
tmct In a while was lit up by n vivid
streak of lightning.
Suddenly the engine stopped, and as
If she Imagined Gussle could help her
she gathered her Into her arms.
In a vivid streak of lightning she
saw they were anchored close to
Crowbar point, which protected them
somewhat from the wind. She
crouched low when the little door
opened and Orlab called her name.
"Come out here, Tonnlbel," lie com
manded roughly, and Tony, with- Cus
sie In her arms, crept into the cabin,
where Reggie was seated on a bunk,
looking pale and sullen.
"Set down on the floor, brat," com
manded Uriah, and Tonnlbel dropped
down. "Now listen to me, Tony,"
went on Devon. "Ever since you've
bjjen knee high to a grasshopper you
been as mean aa the devil. You always
got In behind Ede when she was here,
but now there ain't no skirls to above
me off. You hear?"
Every vestige of blood left the wiid
young face.
"Where Is mummy?" she said, lift
ing Imploring eyes to his.
"Dead," said Devon brutally, "as
dead aj p door nail. Here, my lady,
If you holler I'll rap you one on the
gob."
"Dead 1" cried Tonnlbel. "Pop,
you're lying to me—I know you are!"
"Have It your own way, kid," re
plied Uriah, with an Insolent laugh,
"but one thing's sure—Ede ain't here
to buck against me now. What I want
to get into your thick noodle Is you're
goln' to get married as soon as we
get to Auburn. See?"
The girl's eyes remained centered
on his face, horror deep seated In
their gray depths.
"Here's Keggle wantln' to marry
you," continued Devon, with a wide
wave at the limp young man. "And
when I say you've got to I mean It."
"I won't," fell from Tony's lips, but
the awful expression on her face didn't
change nor did she drop her eyes.
Devon took a quick step toward her.
with an upraised arm, and as he had
beaten his wife so he laid the blows
about the girl's head and shoulders.
The pig fell from Tony's arms lu her
desperate efforts to protect herself.
"Oh, daddy, don't, don't, any more!"
she screamed.
Keggle Brown was watching the
brutal scene dully as If It Interested
him but little. At the girl's fearful
plea Devon stepped back and glared
at her.
"Will you do what I bid you, miss?"
he demanded hoarsely. "I'd as soon
kill vou as take a wink."

SMUGGLERS RUN WILD
Traffic Carried on Huge Scale on
German Border.
Cuetoms Officials Are in Plots and
Government Is Unable to
Check Evil.
Berlin.—Smuggling over the Dntch
arid Danish frontiers, which I he Ger
man government had gone to great ef
fort to suppress, again is flourishing
"on a colossal scale," and at some
points with the full knowledge and
connivance of many government offi
cials, according to reports reaching
here.
Smugglers are declared to.be out
bidding the government for the aid
of dishonest officials, and the "ver
itable army of customs officers nu the
borders have permitted millions of
marks worth of tobacco, cigars, ciga
rettes, coffee and sugar to cross the
border duty free within the last few
months."
Flying squadrons of customs officers
have been organized by the govern
ment to catch the smugglers who are
said to have so thoroughly system
atized their operations that "customs
receipts are rapidly falling bark 10
nothing, for custom control is again
only on paper."
Fifty thousand pounds of coffee are
being smuggled over the border daily
at one point, a report says, and smug
glers everywhere are working with (lie
nympathy and assistance of all dwel
lers along the frontiers.
Men, women and even children, are !
«aid to be engaged in this trade. High j
prices, low wages of customs officials 1
and the depreciated value of the mark
Is credited as one of the principal I
causes for the widespread violation
of Import and export regulations.
The smugglers are described as be
ing so well organized and 5*1 confi
dent they carry on their business "by
land and wholesale scale, and quite
openly."
