When she reached her home she found that her o l d e r brother, Joe, had also lost his job, While Angela, her younger sister. who had been crippled by infantile paralysis, was admiring a blue leather pude Sheila had bought et a church rummage sale for .a dime, "`Well, she'll want some supper," he said. "Mamie said she'd look out for her. Con's ger'rl, and the spit of his sister Julia. She'd a fine, Coarse head of red hair on her, too. Mamma, we'll have to kape an eye on these youngsters of Con's." "We will, Paul." "They'll have fri'nds, now," lie said, trembling with emotion, his handkerchief out again. "They'll have good times, now. You'll have to see Con's widow, Ellie—find out what we can do." "I'll do it tomorrow, Paul, "Mrs. McCann rose, held out her hand. "Come with me, Sheila," she said. "We'll get someting to eat, and then ]'ll take you upstairs, and see if wt can't find t little hat and coat of Gertrude's that'll fit you. You're a real big girl, but she wears bigger clothes than you'd think," Talking comfortably, she went with Sheila through a very confusion of big, dark, richly furnished rooms to- ward a dining -room and into a bright clean pantry beyond it. And here, true to her „romise, Mamie had indeed arranged a meal of coffee and salad, a little baked custard, a chocolate eclair. Sheila, who had dined heartily on fish -balls and prune shortcake only an hour before, realized wretchedly that she must appear to be ravenous. When providentially Mrs. McCann and Mamie left the pantry for a few minutes, site seized the opportunity to pour the custard and the coffee down the sink drain, a..d bury most of the salad in little white enamel- ware garbage tin that was already haif • filled with dead flowol ; and lemon peels. Site was eating the eclair when they returned They had with them a heavy soft, Clark -blue. coat with a fur collar—the coat of any girl's dreamt:, and a small. soft blue hat. "Here," said Mrs. McCann, in her gentle voice and ,with her gentle smile. "those'll. go well with the bag. They're Monica's—she's up at Keu- wood, and she'll be glad for an ex- euse to j;•et new ones." Her -hands lingeree in motherly fashion about Sheila, as ane helped to put them on. She smiled at the result, and Mamie brought her hands together with one convulsive clap of triumph, Sheila, her sense of s mune deep- ening every second, hung her head as she stood before them. It was all Like a nightmare. Their warmth, their kindness; their goodness were all completely disarming. "You've (he purse, dear, and tae How Many Pennies 'Your Chile's Life? .don't Try to"Save" on Horne Remedies—Ask Your Doctor There is one point, on which prac- tically crll doctors agree.

And you've your ni.ekil for the subway --V . "You're awfully kind to hne, .Mrs. McCann," Sheila could- only mumble. She hacl completely abandoned the brogue, hut neither of the other wom- en was apt to notice the omission. "Kind, my dear! When the Lord has been so good to me," Ellen Mc- Cann said humbly. She went with Sheila across the wide hallway there was $till a dim indication of lighted lamps beyond the libray archway, and in some smaller room there wore subduce laughter and the sound of voices, Mrs. McCann her- self opened the big front door for her guest. CHAPTER X. (Cont'd). Just as Sheila was about to leave the dark young men who had en- tered this same doorway just after Sheila had, and who had been ad- dressed by Mamie as "Mr. Frank," came down the big, palm -decorated sweep of the central stairs, and joined Mrs. McCann at the door. "Mother," he said. He stopped in surprise, and over his rather dark young face a smile broadened at the sight of Sheila. •"Well, you look better!" he observed, "Mother," he resumed, "I'm going out to l3er- nadettes' for about an hour. i could run Miss—this young lady home." "Well, so you could," his mother agreed. "It's right on your way. My son's young lady lives in Spuy- ten Duyvil," she said to Sheila, somewhat impressively. "Beenadettes said she'd telephone you in the morning, Mother," Frank McCann said. Suddenly he laughed, and his mother looked at him in surprise. "What is it, Frank?" "Nothing!" he said. "I'll— I'm going to see Bernaddette." "Give her my. love!" Mrs. Mc- Cann looked at Sheila. "My son will drive you home" she said. "That's better than the subway." "Oh, I wouldn't have him!" Sheila protested, shrinking. "Why not?" Frank asked, pulling on his gloves. But it was not a question; he did not even glance at her. "Well, if you don't look stunning in Monica's old coat! Gertrude said, suddenly joining. them. "You look lovely. Aunt Ellie," she added, `I'ni going to bed. I'm sunk. If' I don't want to be taken for Grand- ma Keane at my own wedding, I've got to get some sleep." "Where you going, Frank?" This was Peter's voice. . Sheila's heart rose on a great plunge, but she could not look up. "Kennedys'. They're having a dinner for Dette's aunt from Syra- cuse. I said I'd come out; late. "Where are you going, Peter?" the mother asked. "I am going out a while." His confused, hanky tone told Sheila where he had intended to go. He had intended to accompany her, have a few words alone with her. But Frank's offer to drive her horse had balked him, She dared not look at him; she was choking. Mrs. McCann was saying good night to her; she and Frank were descending the big brown -stoned steps. "Wait for me here on the curb, my car's parked right across the street," Frank said. Sheila stood still, trembling. And then, as she had half expected, Peter was 15e - side her for half a second, and there was a slip of paper in her hand.

Issue No. 47 -- '36 D-2 164/ NM i6isanow "SALA TEA *04 Falls To Earth " fter 19 Years HALIFAX — Recalling the tragic Halifax Explosion, a 10aa pound piece of iron, hurtled through the air from the French munition ship Mont Blanc on December 6, 191'7, hit terra firma for the first time last week. The casting had lodged in a spruce tree on the property of Alfred Hol- mes, Tufts Cove. Not until the tree was felled did it move from its rest- ing place 20 feet Above the ground. Judging from the shape and thick- ness and the rounded surface, it was believed to be front the keel of the French ship which collided with the Belgian relief steamship Imo in Hali- fax Harbor that fateful day 19 years ago. The anchor from the Mont Blanc was blown two miles in the opposite direction. Ca5e For Nightshirts The London Advertiser observes: —Pyjamas are all right in their way, but they have some serious disad- vantages, chief of which is that they are made in two sections, which are forever becoming separated. When this happens during the time they are being worn the sleeper gradual- ly becomes aware of a chilly hiatus which is bound to disturb his rest. Now when a nightshirt is hung on the hook behind the bedroom door, or tossed into a travelling bag the owner knows that the whole thing will be there when he needs it. Your pyjama -wearer can never be sure when he reaches for his sleeping apparel that the most im- portant half of it hasn't been mis- laid or left at home. Moreover, makers of nightshirts are less prone to wild color com- binations and other embellishments than are pyjama - manufacturers. Many a man spends a restless and wakeful night unable to drop off to sleep because of the loudness of his pyjamas, whereas a nice long night- shirt of quiet -patterned flannelette is as soothing as a lullaby.. S ' -c %i: _,t War To Be Fought In Mud CHICAGO. — The next war, Gen- eral Frank Parker, retired, predicted, "will begin in the mud and end in the stud. despite claims made by some propellents of military avia- tion." The General, who ended forty-six years of United States army service last September 30, was unimpres,• ed by the theory that the next con- flict would be fought in the air. lle was unmoved by stories of death rays and virulent new poison gases. "We who have studied military tactics know that wars are won by capturing and holding territory. For this perp;:: e nothing has yet been devised to supersede infantry sup- ported by artillery." Two Holidays Brantford Expositor writes — In Canada, for somo not readily dis- cernible reason, we oescrve, within a month of each other, two holidays. Or to be more accurate, we keep the one and treat the other in a manner more or less perfunctory. The par- adox becomes all the more unhitch ligible and unintelligent when it fa realized that if Thanksgiving Were held on Armistice Day it would be specially significant and impressive. On October 12, Thanksgiving Day, so called, was generally kept Stores, offices. factories closed; it was a holiday. On November 11, if the usual practice is followed, there is fitting religious observance on the anniversary of the termination of the Great War, there Was, for two short minutes, an Empire -Wide Silence of Commemoration, but, for the most part it was a case of "business as usual", Why should this inept and, in- deed, illogical situation exist? Ad. milting the appropriateness of a for- mal day of tlianksgie ing. why should it not be observed on a day for which the whole world, and we as members of the British Common- wealth of Nations in particular, have deep reason to be grateful ,for the blessings of Providence and the valor of men? Why should it not be marked in preference to what is, after all, little more than an ante- dated incitation of an American holi- day without any of its significance? Haeing raised wages, Italy is try ing to prevent a corresponding rise 1 in the cost of living. 11 You Are Strong If you are strong remember such As have not vigour overmuch Who cannot stand the toilsome day, And soon grow weary on life'wayi And let your own redundant power Be to the weak both shield and tower,' If you have much do not deny The sacred call of charity, Since hoards of gold or garnered wealth May virtues rich denude by stealth, And leave you, at your latest days; With debts of love you cannot pay.
