from which Edward emerged a math

was backward In his studies, and
mathematics, according to his teach

Results of Hybrid Mating.

In inatings of so-called "pure" races,

woman, German with German woman,
etc.. 104.54 more males are born than
females.
In hybrid matlngs. that Is to say, of
different nationalities, there is a more
significant excess of male over female
births.
In matlngs of United States whites
the ratio Is about the same as that of
European hybrids.
In matlngs of Cnlted States colored
folks there Is a significant excess of
females over the ratio of Hrltish West
Indian colored who are relatively pure
bred.

A Nov/ Romartco of fho Storm Country
It was a' sitttihorn Tony tnnt raceu
I IVictor John that morning. Adroitly lit' j
tried to draw from her the reason for j
her extreme paleness, for the dnrk
marks stretched across her face, and
the meaning of the shudders that sud- )
denly attacked her.
"I tam't tell," she reiterated In dis
tress as she had to his In offier. "I lease j
don't ask me."
That her mother was dead, she firm
ly believed. This she did tell the doc
tor between many sobs and tears.
"I'll never see her ever any more," |
she told him tremulously. "And If
you'll let rue, I'll live here forever and
forever and take care of Doctor 1'aul."
"My brother can't get i»long without
you, dear," he said, deeply touched. "If
you had seen how he grieved last
night, you wouldn't have made thut
remark."
"I know he likes me." said the girl,
sighing, "and I love him. Why, I love
him—"
She searched the man's face and
ci.nght Ills smile.
"Better than you do me?" he came
In with.
"Yes." said Tonnihel, honestly, "but
you next—" Then she thought of
Philip, of the hours he had held her
against his breast, of the kiss in the
morning's dawn, and she fell Into a
bashful silence. .
I When Doctor IYndlehaven told Mrs.
Curtis that Tony had returned, her
face drew down In it sulky frown.
"But we needn't care," {Catherine
. said afterward, "she doesn't bother us
| much. For my part I can't see how
Cousin I'atil stands her."
J "John snvs Paul almost died Inst
nlglit," took up .Mrs. Curtis. "I sup
; pose she's one of the things we've
• cot to stand in a house run by an old
bachelor and n grieving widower."
| "To say nothing of a father with n
i daughter lost somewhere In the
j world," supplemented Katherlne.
| "There's 110 danger of Caroline's re
| turning after all these years." said
j Mrs. Curtis. "If—if—that girl hadn't
I come, I'nul wouldn't have lived long,
i John told me so himself. 1 almost
hoped that—"
| "That he'd d'e?" Interrupted Kath
. erlne, maliciously. "Well, to be truth
ful I have wished it many times,
j Cousin John would have to think of
somebody else tlien. IVrhhps he'd
turn his attention to you. mother
j darling."
"lie won't while f'tiul lives." sighed
I Mrs. Curtis. "1 don't know just what
j to do. I've thought of every conoelv
j able way to get that girl out of the
: house, and John forestalls me every
! tltue."
j "I'm glad I'hlllp hasn't seen her."
; remarked Katherb.o. "He's jusl the
religious maudlin kind who would fall
for an appealing face like hers." Mrs.
Curtis made r.n Impatient gesture, and
( Katherlne proceeded. "We can't deny
I she is appealing, mamma, even If we
; hate her! And God knows I loathe her
so I could strangle her with these two
. hands." She held up clenched fin
! gers, then relaxed them anil laughed
: bitterly. "Heavens I , What's the use
of butting our heads against a stone
I wall? . . Give me a cigarette, my
| dear Sarali. I'hlllp won't be here tin
i til night, and 1 can get rid of the odor
j before that." '
Meanwhile upstairs Tony Devon wns
| fast getting back to lier normal self.
The blessed assurance she had that she
' was needed by In-r sick friend lifted
; her spirits. She grieved Inwardly for
i her mother, but shuddered when she
' thought of her father. Now all ties
| were cut between them. She had uo
j doubt but that both Uriah and Reggie
thought she was dead In the lake.
| She hoped they did! She'd never see
either one of them again.
She was sitting thinking deeply
J when Paul Pendlehaven spoke to her.
j "Kittle dear," suid he, reaching out
his hand toward her, "come over a
uiinute. I want to talk to you!"
Tonnlhel went to him ln«lnntly. as
she always did when lie called her.
"You will promise n\e something."
he Insisted, as his hot hand clasped
hers. "Tony, don't gu out again like
you did yesterday. I shan't be able to
stand it If you do!"
Tonnibel's mind Hashed to Philip.
She felt sure he would go to the cor
ner of the lake every day to meet her,
as he hud gone to the canal boat.
Vet as she gazed Into the Imploring
eyes of her. friend, she had no heart
to deny him his wish.
"I'm selfish, perhaps," the man went
on, "hut, Tony dear. If you want to
go out, there's lots of cars In the
garage, and horses in the stable. Won't
you promise me?"
Tony thrust the memory of Philip's
face from her mind. She put the wish
to be In his amis again, to feel his
warm lips once more on hers behind
her, and tremblingly smiled In ac
quiescence.
"I promise," she said In a low voice,
but a sob prevented her from saying
anything more.
CHAPTER X.
The Stoning.
Never before since he had taken np
his work of redemption had Philip
MacCauley found the hours so long
and so difficult to live through. Day
after day he canoed to the place Tony
had promised to meet him, only to re
turn to Ithaca more at sea than ever,
lie had the sickening Idea that the
girl he had grown to love was again
In the clutches of her brute of a fa
ther and Reginald Brown.
Tony, too, began to lose the high
spirits that had returned almost Im
mediately after her escape from the
canal boat. The gray eyes grew dark
ly circled, the lovely mouth seemed to
have lost the power to smile.
Paul Pendlehaven noted all this with
apprehension. He questioned the girl
time after time, asking her If she felt
well, if there was anything she wanted,
but she always replied In the negative.
One day after they had had their
dinner, he sat looking at her curiously.
She was close to the window reading
a book, when he caused her to look up
bv calling her name.
"Run downstairs, Tony dear," He
wont on, "and tell my brother to come
up here before office hours, will you,
honey?"
The girl rose, laying aside her book.
She dreaded venturing Into Mrs. Cur
tis' presence and shivered when she
remembered the critical Katherine who
looked her over with supercilious tole
ration whenever they happened to
meet. P.ut she made no complaint and
went slowly downstairs.
The dining room door was closed, but
the sound of voices from within told
her the family was at dinner. She
opened the door slowly and stepped
Inside. For one moment her vision
was obscured by the fright that sud
denly took possession of her. As the
blur cleared from her eyes, she saw
John Pendlehaven smiling at her. Then
a sharp ejaculation from some one else
swims her gaze from the doctor's face,
and It settled on—Philip MacCauley.
She went extremely pale and put out
her hand to grasp something for sup
port as If she were going to fall. She
saw him rise up slowly, an expression
of amazement and relief going across
his face. She smiled, but what a weary
little smile It was and how full of
pleading, as if she were silently beg
clng him to forgive her for some deed
she'd done.
John Pendlehaven gazed at the two
young people, and then he too got to
ills feet.
"Philip," he said abruptly, "this Is
Tonnibel Devon. She's Paul's com
panion. We have—"
Philip Interrupted the speaker by
his sudden bound around the table.
"Tony Devon, little Tony," be cried.
"I thought, oh, I thought you were
dead. I thought I'd lost you forever."
A noise fell from Katherlne's lips,
and Mrs. Curtis stumbled to her feet
"So you know her too, Philip," she
snarled with a hasty glance at her
pallid daughter. "I thought we'd kept
her well out of your way. So you've
played the sneak while eating bread and
butter in my house, miss," she blurted
at Tony. "Well, It's what one might
have expected of you—you huzzy."
"Mother!" gasped Katherine, as Ton
nibel snntched her hands from Philip.
"Kathle, you needn't 'mother' mel"
cried Mrs. Curtis, blind with rage.
"Either she goes away or I do. I won't
stay In the house with a common
sneak—a common—"
"Sarah, sit down," thundered John
Pendlehaven. "Don't speak another
such word or—"
Tony was at the doctor's side be
fore he could finish his threat
"I didn't sneak," she said, looking up
; at him. "Oh, please—please believe
me."
"That she didn't," cried Philip, com
ing to her side. "Cousin John, I've
known Tony Devon ages, and I didn't
even know she was In this house." He
turned his flashing eyes upon Mrs. Cur
tis, who was weeping hysterically.
"You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
Cousin Sarah," he went on, "to use
such language to a perfectly nice little
girl. Why, you've just about broken
her heart" i
His voice had sunk to a passionate
whisper. His eyes misted In a youthful
struggle to control his Joy, and—and
at the sight of him, Katherlne lost her
wits entirely.
"Who and what have we been har
boring in this house, Cousin John?"
«he shrieked in a high thin voice, strug
gling to her feet "A gutter rat a lit
tle snake, a loose girl—"
Each word, brought out with greater
vehemence and passion than the one
before, struck the listeners dumb. In
shame-faced misery. Tonnibel sank to
the floor, dropping her head Into her
hands. ,
"Oh, no, I'm not that," she wailed.
"My mummy never lived in the gutter;
she never did. I was poor, awful
nnnr_»" _
"Poor!" exclaimed Kntherlne. "Yuii re
worse thnn poor. I suppose you've
wheedled Philip the same way you
have Cousin Paul." .
"Katherlne, I command you to be
gllent," shouted Pendleliaven. "If you
say another word, I shall ask you to
leave my house."
"Well, I never I" screamed Sirs. Cur
tis.
"And you too, Sarah," thrust In the
doctor. "We don't know the truth of
In 8hame-Faced Misery Tonnlbel Sank
to the Floor.
this thing, but I know very well that
Tony Devon Is not a bad girl."
"That she Is not," Interjected Philip.
"Now I'll tell yon all about It"
As John Pendlehaven raised her to
her feet, Tonnlbel lifted her head and
fixed her tearful eyes on Captain Jlae
Cauley.
"You promised you'd never tell any
body." she murmured. Her mind was
with the dead Edith Devon, and the
words of ber own serious reverent
oath given In the presence of her wild
eyed mother would not allow her to
consent that Philip should lift the
stigma heaped upon her by the Curtis
women.
"So I did," admitted Philip, soberly,
"but you see now this has happened.
You must release me from that prom
ise."
"I can't," sighed Tony. Then turn
ed her face to Pendlehaven.
"You'll trust us." she pleaded, wav
ing her hand toward Philip. "Flense
trust him and me."
"Ha I" shrieked Mrs. Curtis. "Trust
you—"
"Shut np, cousin saran," snappen
Philip at the angry woman. Then hp
addressed himself to the doctor. "I
did promise her I wouldn't tell how
we met And I won't! In fact It Isn't
any one's business. Is It, Cousin
John?"
"Not that I can see," came In rather
drawling answer.
"I'll repeat what I said before,"
Philip took up hastily. "I didn't know
she lived here."
"We're ready to believe that—nit,"
cried Katherine.
Captain MaeCauley stared at ber.
Was this frowning angry girl tlip smil
ing, yielding Katherine he hail known
or thought he had known?
"You can believe It or not. Knthle,"
he told her savagely. "It makes no
difference to me. But It's true. Just
the same."
"Walt here for me, Philip." said the
doctor, In a low tone. "I'll be back
In a moment.
Then he took Tony by the hand and
they went out together.
For several tense moments a silence
too dreadful to describe settled down
upon the dining room. Katherine
twisted her fork sulkily and Mrs. Cur
tis still sniffed In her handkerchief.
Philip looked from one to the other,
wishing with all his heart he could
say something that would clear the
atmosphere.
'Tm sorry, Cousin Sarah," he said
abruptly, trying to smile. "It certainly
was awkward, wasn't It?"
"Awkward?" repeated Mrs. Curtis,
wrinkling her face. "Awkward Isn't
the word, Philip. It was disgusting."
The gorge rose again in his throat.
"Tonnibel Devon Is the best girl I
know," he asserted. "Poor little thing,
I pity her with all my heart."
"Pity Is akin to love, my dear Phil
ip," sneered Mrs. Curtis.
"Mother," cried Kaiherlne. "Philip
wouldn't so far forget himself and his
friends and position as to love—well—
If you can't keep your tongue still, go
upstairs."
This was a shock for Philip. That
any girl could speak to her own mother
In such a way was beyond his com
prehension. The door opened Just then
and Dr. John walked In.
