When they tell us that the corn pro

more Important than price. The dol

CHAPTER VI,
"Tony" Swearo an Oath.
When Tonnlbel bent over tlie bunt.
| she saw tier mother's eyes were open.
She smiled sadly down upon her, sat
on a sti'ol and took one of the wom
an's thin'hands in hers.
"Where's your daddy?" murmured
| Mrs. Devon.
! ' lie's pine, mummy dear," breathed
Tony. "I guess he thought some one
whs after him. You're feelln' a lot
better, huh, honey?"
' "Yep. but I'm thirsty, awful thirsty,
baby dear." ,
Tonnlbel pave her a drink, and re
sen ted herself. •
"You're coin' to get well." she
ejaculated. "I brought a awful nice
doctor here when you were so slek.
He's just gone, and he left you them
pills and that medicine In the glass."
The woman stared at the speaker
as if she hadn't heard rightly.
"A doctor?" she whined. "What
doctor?"
"Doctor Pendlehaven," replied Ton
nlbel. "He's a real njce man—John
Pendlehaven."
Edith struggled tip on her elbow.
| "Wliat'd you bring him here for?"
1 she cried. "I hate the Pendlehavens.
Uriah hates 'cm—"
"T know that, mmnmy," Tony cut
her off with, "but you was too sick to
tell me what to do. and daddy wasn't
here, so I Just went and got the doc
tor myself. . . . Here! You mustn't
sit tip."
"I will! I. will! Now tell me all he
said from the beginning to end."
In silence Tonnlbel helped her moth
er to a sitting position and wrapped
the bbinkets around her. Then she
began to tell her what hail happened.
The only thing she omitted speaking
of was the baby's picture.
"He were the only doctor I knew
about." she offered finally, flushing,
"and he's the heautifulest man I ever
saw. Mehhe ho'll come down tomor
row tn'sn' yon."
IMlth dn ppcd back on the bed, shiv
ering in desperation.
"(let your clothes off, baby." she
whispered. "Crawl In beside me.
You're all wet."
"Take your medicine first, then 1
will." said Tonnlbel, "Here—" She
picked up the glass and then stood
I staring at the place she'd taken It
fro:n. "Why, the doctor must have
! left tills money." she exclaimed, tak
ing up a roll of bills. "I.ook, Edle.
loot;!"
"Oct off your clothes,'' repeated the
woman, impassively. "Come on to
j bed. and go to sleep."
In another moment the rirl had
stripped off her wet clothes, had
blown out the light and was in bed
beside her mother.
When Edith was assured the girl
slept, she crawled out of the bed and
j lighted the lamp. She tried to collect
her thoughts, to lay a plan for the fu
i litre for herself and husband. John
I'endlehaven had been there! Pendle
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-bidden in the blankets.
She had stub n this child from her
father, and now she had to escape the
consequences of her wicked deed. She
1 had to go away, and that quickly. If
i she had dared to face her husband's
j wrath, she would have, then and
there, communicated with Paul Pen
I dlehaven.
; She reached out and touched Tonnl
bel's face.
"Unity, darlln', wake up." she said.
[ "1 want to ask you something!"
Tony opened her slumber-laden eyes
and smiled.
. "Don't go to sleep again.'" exclaimed
Sirs. Devon, hoarsely. "Tell me tills.
Do yon honest believe what you said
about that thing on the card? About
It l»ein' holy?"
I "Yep," asserted Tony, with droop
I Ing eyelids.
"You don't want to hurt TTriah and
me. do you. honey?"
The girl shook lier head slowly, and
a doubtful shadow settling in her eyes,
I seemed to make her wider awake.
I "I wouldn't hurt you, darlin'." she
replied at length, "but sometimes,
when daddy's beatin' you, I feel like
whacklo* the life out of liim. Why,
today—"
j Edith stopped her by a tug at her
sleeve.
"If you swore by that card you
brought, I mean If you took an oath,
would you keep It?" she asked hoarse
ly.
"You bet I would." There wns
amazement, surprise and eagerness In
the young voice.
"Didn't you tell me the feller said
Jesus was a holy bird?"
Tony nodded.
Mrs. Devon gripped her fingers
about the girl's arm.
"Mehhe he's in the Dirty Mary here,
i only yon can't see him, baby dear?"
Ti,„ n-«vnun's voice jyjis slvlv toned, <
but she shivered In superstition.
"Hp's richt hero," affirmed the girl,
thinking of a hoy's earnest uplifted
face and vibrant assurances.
"Then say after me what I'm
thinkln' of," said Edith.
Tony lifted her eyes to her mother's,
but drew back when she discovered
how terrible she' looked, white like a
dead person.
"I swear by the liyln' Jesus," began
Edith, and then siiepaused. "Say It,"
she hissed.
"I swear by the llvln* 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
seen lier mother look and act so mys
teriously.
"Now say this, keepln' In your mind
you'll be blasted to hell If you break
your word, 'I won't never tell that my
father beat my poor mummy, or that
he's a thief and a liar—*" A thick
tearless sob burst from the woman's
lips und brought an ejaculation from
the girl.
"1 swear to It nil. honey mummy,"
she cried. "You believe me, Edle,
dnrlin', don't you?"
"Yes, I believe you." replied Edith,
dully. "Crawl into bed, and go to
sleep, baby dear."
Shiveringly Tony Devon got back
under the blanket
Then for more than an hour there
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 t" leave for Tony, and when that
was finished, she divided the money
the doctor had left and stole softly
from the boat.
• ••••*•
It was in the full blaze of a morning
sun that Tonnibel opened her eyes and
looked around the cabin. The other
hunk was empty, and her mother was
not In the cabin. In her night clothes,
Tonnibel went to the deck, shouting
the name. "Edith," her strong young
voice repeating itself hack from the
woods in echoes. Then she went down
stairs again and began to dress
hastily, and overv moment her fear
was growing. She spied the note
pinned to the lamp handle and stared
A Carioe Slipped Under the Overhanfl
ing Trees*
at It mutely as if dreading to know its
contents, but she unpinned It with fin
gers that seemed to be all thumbs.
Her legs were shaking so she had to
sit down to read it
"Tony dear," it began.
"I'm going to look up Uriah. I took
part of the money. We might need
some. You can go to work some
wheres if 1 don't come back. Maybe
some day you'll see me. Leave the
boat where she Is so your daddy can
lind her. I love you, darling. Remem
ber about your swearing not to tell
on your Pop, and don't tell I'm gone to
find him. MUMMY."
Tonnibel gave a gasping sob. They
had ail gone and left her stranded In
a land of strangers. Because it was
no iouger her home, she began to love
the s»ilent old canal boat, and to wish
with all her soul that Uriah and Edltb
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 eud 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
sliDoed under the overhanging trees
nnd came toward tin- canal boat swin
l.v. She watched It coming with no
show of Interest. Directly in front of
her the paddle remained suspended,
and the boat came to a stop. Tonnl
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 dor he said, smiling
at her. "I see you're having a nice
time."
Tonnlbel shook her head.
"No, I ain't, and Gussle 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 yon
lived on?" he asked, climbing up be
side her and holding the canoe fast by
a rope.
Yes, the Dirty Mary," answered
Tonnlbel, with a little catch In her
voice. "Now I live on her, I mean to
day."
What do you mean by "now yon
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
Oussle to her short hind legs. Tears
dropped silently.
Philip touched her gently. "Where's
your mother?" he questioned.
She lifted her head and looked nt
him through her tears. She wanted
to confide In some one—yes, 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 read her thoughts he
asked abruptly. "Can I do anything
for you? r brought you this."
She made a slight movement wlih
her head but acecpted the card he ex
tended.
Then there drifted over the quint
summer day the tolling of the chimes
from the university clock on the
campus of Cornell. She l.ent forward
to listen. It struck one, and drawing
ner feet from the water, she got up
She had promised to be at Pendleha
ven place at twor o'clock.
"I got to go now," she said apolo
getically. "Much obliged for bringing
me some more salvation, mister!
»£• J " see y°" "gain some time.
Mebbe I will."
"When?" demafided 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
Gnssie under one arm. "I mightn't be
home when you come."
"Can I come tomorrow?" the bov
urged.
,.Tef,'.y0U can come." ""''I Tonnlbel.
with flll.ng throat, "but if there's any
one aronnd, don't stop."
Tills 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 she
started for the doctor's.
