P SYNOPSIS Sheila Carscadden, blue-eyed, cop pery-haired and ,, lost her job in a downtown New York office because she took it too much upon hreself. When she reached her home she found that her older brother. Joe. had also lost his job. While Angela. her younger sister. who had been crippled by infantile paralysis. was ,'dmiring a blue leather purse Sheila had bought at a church rummage sale for a dime, Resolutely, Sheila changed to an express train, was whirled north, in under the thundering streets. She got out at One Hundred and Forty-ninth Street, as she always had done, and rn,ounted to the sidewalk level, loiter- ed at the bakery window. Coffee cakes -- Ma loved them. Little chocolate layer cakes with holes .n the middle. The girl was sticking tiny clean. signs into them: "Today's special, 25c." The drug store clock said three for- ty-eight. Suddenly, breathlessly, she turned, had crossed the street to the downtown subway, bad plunked in her nickel, and pushed through the turnstile. She took a Broadway and Seventh Avenue train. Instantly she was rushing southwar'., Mott Aven- ue—Mott haven rushed by— She was on her way. She would be late. No matter, he would wait. A great relief inundated her heart. Sheila had given in. No use hghting it any longer; she had to see him. This was Saturday. ! week from today he and Gertrude would have been four days man and wife. To- night someone was giving them a big party, it would be all parties from now on. But Sheila would have this one hour, (ler heart was heating se fast when she left. the train that she felt almost suffocated. iIounUng the sub- way stairs that were walled with bright advertisement of tooth paste and boated biscuits, her knees were knocking together. The Law Library was on the fifth, and top floor of a dark old rubber - scented building, whose mahogany - boxed elevators tottered on their way up. Everything looked grim and smelled of dust. The closed doors of all the offices they passed were of dull old opaque brass, dimly lettered in chipped black. Apparently the entire upper floor was given over to the reference books of maritime. law. Sheila went through a swingig old !aleck- pad- ded door into e dark, shadowy place where a bald old man sat at a desk, among forests of alcoves that radia- ted away from him in every direc- tion headers,all men, were scatter- ed about among the twee. leather - covered tables; radiators clanked, the ahr was heavy and warm. Lights were already lighted here and there. Now and then one of thanien cough- ed protractedly, and the sound was like the firing of a ,gun in the quiet place. Peter was not .in sight. Sheila stood hesitant, with shame and self- contempt in her heart. But after n long minute he touched her on the vulva; ho had come quietly up behind Icer, "Good girl!" he said in approval. AO Sheila Brae instantly sorry that she held corer. It was giving hi to him; he had known that she would; he was taking her for granted, "You look swell!" he said, evi- dently surprised at her smartness. Suddenly everything was flat and dull. "Oh, I was sort of playing a part that night!" she explained. Ile did not hear her, becaese he was leading the way through the room toward a sort of large alcove a: the back, "What do you know about my get- ting married on Tuesday, having a big party tonight—and I've got to meet Gertrude at ch inch, and every- thing? Peter said, grinning. His tone was hardly more than a whis- per. "I think it's terrible!" Sheila had to agree, with an air of enjoyment. Well, now listen," he said. "I felt that I had to talk to you• It won't take us but a minute!" He had guided her through the rear arcade, past some old men playing checkers, There was still another room beyond; Peter went with confidence toward a narrow door, inconspicuous among bookracks. He opened the door, and Sheila fol- lowed him into an old bookroom, eyi- dently long deserted. It was lighted by two tall, dim windows, below which she could see shabby back yards, the sides and backs of office buildings, and the roof of some garlanded and column- ed restaurant whose electric sign was already flashing on and off in the winter dusk. Li the room were old shelve: lined with books, a long table with a worn black leather cover held in place by nail -heads, two or three old chairs, a library ladder. Besides the books on the shelves there were many more, piled in neat heaps on the floor; some of these were tied with rope marked "Bindery," and on others were cards that said, "Dealers." Evidently the place was an overflow room for the library; Sheila, coming; in, turned in surprise to Peter. "Flow did you know about this room?" she asked, "Well, my father one time thought it would Ile a good idea for me to . take up maritime law. Frank's a lawyer, you know; he went to Col- umbia• lie's in the district atter-; ney`s office now. There was a rich old guy named Waterhouse—I think , he was a sea captain, or something —and he hada big- collection of books; when he died, he endowed this library; it's called "The Water-' house Maritime Law Library; "I be- lieve Anyway, we used to come in Isere and study. There was :i swell librarian here, then but she's gone now." "For pity's sake," Sheila said, looking out of the window. "Sit down," Peter directed her. He lighted a cianeling I'ght. "Listen," he went on, "I had to talk to you,I Listen, why didn't you ever write me?" Sheila was across the shabby, leather - topped table, her linked hands lying before her. IIc heart softened: this was what she had ex- pected. "I didn't know your name," "You heard it," "Yee, I heard it that morning when we met mil Other. But 1 didn't remember it." . "I couldn't find you,' he said. "You had nay address," "1.1'es, but listen, That paper was nothing but a piece of pulp when I tried to read it" r "You knew I was going away the next bye". "And I went over to the eight o'clock train, to see you," "Sunday?" - "Yep. I waited for both the trains." A light broke upon Sheila's face.. "A boy drove us home," she re - Membered suddenly. "A friend of the girl 1 was staying with had a ear. Id forgotten that!" . "There are about twenty earned - dens in the telephone directory," he said. "1 telephoned every one of 'cm." "We haven't any phone." A pause. "I wouldn't want you to think I could talk like that, and just—lust be fooling," Peter said, awkwardly "I3ut then—then, you see, I got en- gaged." "Olt, that was all right!" Sheila assured him, vaguely and politely, and they were silent again. "You see --well, we're getting mar - lied on Tuesdays" Peter explained youthfully. "I lenotv," It seemed to Tier that all life was a Long blank ahead of her. Not that she wanted this par- ticular man, or any man. It was just that everything was dull. "I had to explain it to you. I tried to find you. I couldn't." "Oh, that was all right," she said again with a little effort. "No but hose's everything?" he asked out of a silence. "Fine." "And that girl who was with you, how's she?" "Rose? Rose Foley. She's fine." Peter watched her intently, across the table, for several long seconds. Ho was handsome, in his blue suit,. with gold arabesques in his dark blue tie. His eyes were blue, too, pale Irish blue, and the pink of his clean-shaven skin in agreeable con- trast to the silky dark wing of his black hair. "You see, Gert Keane hag lived in our fancily since we were lids," lie offered. "Sure." "She's a — well, she's a great girl," Peter said. "It's all right. But I didn't think either one of as were—was —wefie— just fooling," she said, presently; in her soft, plaintive voice. Peter cleared his throat. "I wasn't fooling," he said. "I waited for you, that Tuesday night," Sheila admitted, in a silence• Ile winced. "I thought you would." "I'm glad, Sheila said, hesitantly, " hat you didn't want to -- to throw me down." The homely phrase expreser meaning, at least. He caught; at ft. "I never threw anyone down in my life!" he said, looking at' her seri- ously, across the table, Somehow, with the suddenness of a shock, her feeling altered, 'The words, the tone in which he said them, awakened her. He was acting —a IittIe. He was enjoying this -- just a little. Sheila felt giddy With a revulsion of feeling.- She wanted Metal h Found Between Stars dentists Say T t=rulurn, Common en Earth, Is Also in Space WASHINGTON. -- Discovery of titanium, a r'omrnon metal of the earth in the almost complete vac- uum between stars ,;es arrnounceri recently by the Cesnegie lnstitu- trirrr.

In that plight we never bother to ask whether we have caught a cola or colds. We ask only to be told how we can avoid catching another or more. --London Daily Mirror. so much to Iike him—she had dream- ed dreams about him for sc many months!

Both are essential. Why should particular stress be laid on composition, and public speaking be neglected? In the ear- lier days throughout Ontario debat- ing societies existed in almost every school section for the development of public speaking, and it cannot be denied that these activities were jus- tified by the results, 11any men emi- nent in public life hest started their careers in these societies. If young people of public school age are taught to express themselves clearly and effectively in public, they are not likely to be troubled with em- barrassment and stage fright when they beeon e �rlder. There is an extensive movement at work in the secondary schools to promote a knowledge of public speaking, and it has 'met with great seeceese, The endeavour to stimulate niinilar interest in t]•e public schools is commendable from every point of view. epoon pepper, 1.3 teaspoon paprika 1. teaspoon dry mustard, 11/2 table spoons cider vinegar, 2 cups canned pineapple juice.
