CHAPTER VII.
Tony Finds a New Home.
Many a person turned In the street
and looked at the bareheaded and bare
footed girl as she tuade her way
through the city with a little pig snug,
gled In her arms. Tonnlbel was hurry
ing to I'endlehaven place, for she had
promised Doctor John she'd come to
his olllce at two o'clock that after
noon, and. if she didn't, he might take
it Into Ids head to visit the Dirty
Mary.
When John I'endlehaven came In
and saw her he noted how pale she
was.
"Your mother," he began—
"She's gone away visitin'," gasped
Tony. "I don't know where she Is."
"Didn't you see her this morning?
If she ivas able to get up, then she's
better. Isn't she? Is she?"
Tonnibel bobbed her head.
"I guess so." she mumbled. "When
I woke up. she was gone. I guess she
went to linil—" She hesitated, then
ran on. "to see some one we know. So
me and tlussie come to tell you she's
better."
"Sit down," urged the doctor.
Again the curly head shook nega
tive^-. e
"I got to go." she told him, swallow
ing hard. "1 just got to go."
Then as her homelessness pressed
down upon her. she began to tremble,
convulsive soliV; shaking her from head
to foot The doctor forced her into a
chair.
••There," ho said sympathetically.
"Now It'll me what has happened."
"1 can't." came In a gasping sigh.
"Bin uiuniiuy's gone away, mebbe for
ever. ami I gut to rim! work. And—
and 1 don't know how."
Doctor 1'endleh.iven looked at her
thoughtfully. All through the utgllt
the wan face hail haunted him.
Suddenly Tomiibel put her hand in
to her blouse.
"I brought had; what's left of the
money," she said, holding It out.
"Mummy took some. You don't caro
about li t. dn youV She needed It aw
ful. mummy t. 1! I'.m I couldn't keep
this because 1 dickered with you last
nighi about the picture, aud you done
your share."
"Keep It," exclaimed Doclor .Tohu,
huskily.
"No." said Tonni^et. "I couldn't
ever slivp a wink if I did." And she
thrust ilte lob of bills into his hand,
giving a long sigh as If she were glad
to be rid of it.
It might have been this action on
her part that brought lo quick fruition
the ivsolve that hail begun to live the
night before when I Victor 1'endleha
veu Imd tranmed along the boulevard
to Ithaca. from what she had told
him now. she had been left alone. Then
there was iiO one to ask permission of
to help her.
"Where's your father?" he said,
abruptly.
"I dunno," answered Tonnihel, a lit
tle sulkily. She didn't intend ever to
speak of Uriah to anyone.
"Then you are all alone, now that
your mother's gone? Do I understand
you haven't any relatives?"
"Not anybody." she hesitated, "at
least, not now. Not anybody but Gus
sie-l'iglet here."
She touched the little animal with
exquisite tenderness. Doctor I'endle
Imvcn leaned over and, placing one
finger under the girl's chin, raised her
face to his. "Come with me," he said
softly.
Tntinihcl followed him through what
seemed to her Ions miles of halls.
When he ushered her Into a room and
closed the door, she stood a moment
taking in all its magnificence. The at
mosphere was laden with a heavy per
fume of flowers, and then she saw
something else. A man lay partly
propped up in bed, his burning gray
eyes staring at her.
"This is my brother, 1'aul Pendle
haven. my child," said Doctor John,
"lie wants to thank you for bringing
back the picture."
"Sit down a while," murmured Doc
tor Paul.
She squatted unceremoniously upon
the bed beside the pig.
"Ou.- little friend here Is In trou
ble," said Doctor John to his brother,
''and wants work. I'll come back after
three." Then he went out.
For a long time Paul I'endlehaven
looked at Tony, and Tony looked back
at him. Tony" was mentally pitying
him witli all her iovtng heart. He was
thinking over the conversation he and
his brother had had about this strauge
little girl who had brought from a
thiefs den the picture of his baby.
"How would you like to stay here a
while with met" he asked at length.
Gray eyes widened to the fullest ex
tent of fringed lids.
"Lordy," was all Tonnibel could say,
as she glanced around.
"You might wait on me," explained
the doctor, "and keep me company. I
do get lonely sometimes. Would you
like that? I know you like flowers."
"1 love 'em." cried Tonnibel.
Pendlehaven smiled Into tiie snming
eyes. He felt better already.
"I've such a lot of them all over this
wing," he went on. "You might take
care of them for me and—and other
things."
Tony was almost bursting with Joy.
She had within her the greatest gift
of God, supreme gratitude. To work
for him %vould be bliss Indeed. She
didn't want to cry, so to keep from It,
she bit down on her red underilp. He
had said In positive tones that he
wanted her. It did seem good to be
wanted somewhere. What she did then
Pendlehaven remembered many a long
day. She bent over and kissed his
hand. The warm red lips thrilled him
us vibrant youth always thrills weak
ness.
"Can Gussie stay, too?" she pleaded
presently. "She'd be without anybody
If she didn't have me."
"Yes," said Pendlehaven, as his
brother opened the door. "You can
make her a nice home In my conserva
tory."
It took but a moment for the sick
man to explain to Doctor John his ar
rangements with Tonnibel, and the
girl's heart was not the only rejoicing
ono among the trio.
When Katherine Curtis came home
late that afternoon she found her
"For Heaven's Sake, What'* the Mat
ter?" Asked the Gl'l
mother lu a towering rage, surrounded
by iiiMiy strange looking boxes and
bundles.
"For heaven's sake, what's the mat
ter?" asked the girl.
"I think your Cousin John's gone
mad," said Mrs. Curtis, beginning to
cry. "lie's brought a ragged'girl Into
the house to stay, a girl with bare feet,
and enough hair for three people.
From what I could gather she's going
to stay over with Panl. And John in
sisted on my going with him to buy
these. Think of a poor nobody dressed
up like a horse."
Ivatherine looked at her keenly. "I
suppose you served Couslu John a
deep-seated spell of hysterics, didn't
you. when he popped the girl In on
you?" she demanded.
"I did my best," admitted Mrs. Cur
tis. sniffling.
"Men get surfeited to women'8 tears,
mamma dnrllng," said the all-wise
Katherlne. "If I wanted to make any
impression on him, I'd leave off howl
ing every minute or two. And you
don't look pretty when your nose Is
red. Who is the glitter rat?"
"I'm sure I don't know. She's got a
queer name, and I asked her about
herself, and she looked as sulky as
could be."
"Leave It to me—" began Katherlne.
Just then the door swung open, and
there appeared before Katherlne Cur
tis a girl who made her breath almost
stop with surprise. A very young
girl, too, the gazer canght at a glance.
Abundant curls hung about one of the
most beautiful faces Katherine had
ever seen. Her mother hadn't told
her the girl was so pretty. She felt
a nervousness come over her when she
thought of I'hlllp MacCauley.
In silence Tonnlbel donned her new
clothes, and when she stood up to be
Inspected, Mrs. Curtis scowled at her.
"Go show Doctor John," she said.
"He told me to send you right down to
him."
TonnltiPl was glad to escape. j\ain
erine hadn't said a word to her, bot
both girls had eyed each other ap
praislngly, and Katherine suddenly
came to a resolution, which she made
known to her mother the moment they
were alone.
"She can't stay In this house," she
said between her teeth.
Mrs. Curtis laughed sarcastically.
"See what you can do with your
cousin, then." she snapped. "I did my
best with .Tohn, and he positively re
fused to lot me go to Paul! As much
an told me It was none of my busi
ness."
•« T toll. In him"
said the girl. "I'll speak my mi ml
outright. I'll mnke the house too hot
to hold her. I think I know how to
pnt one over on our philanthropic
cousins."
When Tonnlbel came Into the office
that evening to ask a very Important
question of Doctor Pendlehaven, he
said to her:
"My dear, I want you always to re
member what I am going to tell you
now. This house belongs to my
brother and me. I do riot wish you
to take orders from anyone but us."
Tony gazed at him a moment, not
understanding at first. Then her lips
widened.
"That means If anyone says I've got
to hike back to the canal boat, I don't
go unless one of you tells me to," she
demanded. "Is that It?"
The doctor laughed.
"Yes, that's It," said he. "Now what
did you want of me?"
"Can I go down the lake tomorrow
afternoon—" she hesitated and then
went on, "I want to see If anyone's
home."
"Certainly, dear child, you can,"
was the answer. "But get back before
It's dark; I don't want anything to
happen to my little Tony Girl."
