The doors were locked, the building deserted. While trying to make their escape, they encountered two men, bootleg. ger gangster who (for reasons of their own) kidnapped theist, taking them to a deserted farmhouse where they spent the night. When they were released two days later, Sheila's fam- ily doubted her story- Her !bro- ther Joe produced a telegram, sent from Boston, not New York, which read: "Peter and I married here. Sheila. "She had asked the gang- sters to assure her family of her safety and this telegram was the re- sult. When she denied they were _Harried, her family was shocked, and she became very angry. She had just declared she would leave home forever when Frank McCann, Peter's oldest brother, appeared. He quiet- ed Sheila, explaining that he and Joe had given a marriage announcement to the newspapers as the best way out of a difficult situation. The next day which was St. Patrick's Day, Judge and Mrs. McCann proposed that Sheila and Peter marry. "And admit we were lying!" Sheila ex- claimed angrily, hurrying from the McCann home. As she was passing an employment bureau, she stopped to read of the positions offered. Sheila stood reading these cards, her breast smouldering. They were arainst; her. _too--.lviecan ''and -Joe, and Ma. Everyone. Even Frank had smiled as he handed her over to Peter—to Peter, who had de- parted from Sheila's dreams forever, who was less to her now than that casual clerk "fr'm the office" who had been waiting for "11Iisther Frank," in the McCann's hallway. "It wouldn't be open on a holi- day." Sheila reflected, looking up the dank, uninviting stairway that lurch- ed toward "Mrs. O'Connor's Famous Employment Bureau." "Here's what'll decide it," she said aloud. "If it's open, Pll try it! .And if I don't want to do it, I can back out. And anyway, I'd have to go home for my clothes, and prob- ably Ma and Joe'd be home, and COMPLETE PERSONAL SER7; 1. , inDeep r tufht ater i j Ships The Canadian Service vessels of these great Steamship Companies, offer Individual attention and a complete personal service to ail passengers.

But if I get away this time, it's for good!" She mounted the crazy stairway and laid her hand on the knob of the glass -paneled doorway that indicat- ed O'Connor's. The knob turned, the door opened, and Sheila found herself alone in a shabby, spacious office, with a kindly -looking woman of fifty, whose face instantly told her that if this was not Mrs. O'Con- nor, at least it might be. "I want a job!" Sheila said, going in. Mrs. O'Connor proved to be an af- fectionate and encouraging person. "Now, I'll tell you, dear," she said to Sheila. "What did you say your name was?" "Mary Moore." "I'Il tell you, Mary. I don't often keep open on holidays, but I've a rush order I couldn't do nothing yesterday, and I've had to put it in- to today. There's a federation of business clubs meeting at Atlantic City this week, and every place down there is full. You've got a reference, dearie, from someone that knows you, your teacher, or the par- ish priest?" "I can get it." "Get it, then. And take the four o'clock to Atlantic City—you'll get your fare and your lunch money back. Go to the Pendergast Inn. It's not on the boardwalk, it's a block back, but it's finer than many of the waterfront places. Go there and ask for Mrs. Kearney; she's the house- keeper. She's a lovely woman. I've sent her help these twenty years. "It's only fourteen dollars," Mrs. O'Connor continued hardily. "What of it? It's something, these times, isn't -ib,- wttir everythink found. Ev- erything found, think of it. Now you owe nee six dollars .... pay me when you like. Some of the girls pay half this week and half the next. There's another convention going down soon. She told me there was a month in it, surely. And then it'll be almost May, wnat do you know about that? You could easy stay on, right into the season. The season's getting earlier every year." - She was making entries with a fat soft hand, in a big book. Sheila said she would pay half. "That's entirely satisfactory to me," Mrs. O'Connor told her, ami- ably. "They want nice, quiet -look- ing girls, and they'll like you. I suppose you haven't a sister or a cousin who'd like to go with you? It's quite a lark, the girls say." "No, I haven't," Sheila said. And to herself she added, when she was in the quiet, snowy street again, "I very likely won't go myself!" She went home, and found the three dreary rooms of the Bronx ap- partment empty and dark. Angela had gone away with Neely and Liz- zie. The sight of the place remind- ed Sheila of the day's desolating ad- ventures, of Ma's unlindness, of Joe's doubts, of the McCann family, who were so ready to believe that she would run away with their preci- ous son and be married by a justice of the peace! Joe had an old imitation leather suitcase. Sheila dragged it out from under the big bed and began to pack it, crying hard as she did so. She prayed that they would come in and find her at it; they would be a long time persuading her not to go!

The thought of the money reminded Sheila of her precious fifty dollars, and she took it out of the drawer of the kitchen table, to look at it lovingly.
