Then she learned that he loved her but was to marry another girl, Gertrude Keane. When they started to leave, the door was locked, the building deserted. While trying to escape, they encountered two men, gangsters, who fearing Sheila and Peter know too much, kidnapped them and took them to a deserted farm house. When they were released two days later, Sheila's family was skep- tical of her story. Her brother Joe produced a telegram, sent from Bos- ton, which read: "Peter and I mar. ried here. Sheila." She had begged the gangsters to assure her family of her safety and this telegram was the result. When she denied they were married, her family was shocked. The next day Judge and Mrs. McCann pro- posed that Peter and Sheila marry. "And admit we were lying!" Sheila exclaimed angrily. She found a job at an employment agency as a wait- ress at an Atlantic City hotel. and had worked theer.. ten.. days when Frank McCann appeared suddenly. He had traced her immediately but had not told her family 'her whereabouts. He persuaded her to return with him. The checkerboard of the little streets and the long, wavering pale lines that were the beach and the surf fell away below. The world, only a map now, wheeled and shifted; the plane settled to a steady droning flight through space. A winter sun had emerged from heavy clouds and was shining brightly, and the air that blew against Sheila's face was sting- ing and exhiliarating. She could have shouted for sheer youth and high spirits and excitement as they soar- er. along. Iler thougl3t neie+i;-drill yOcled; too; she was -panning busily. Her great adventure was almost over; it had been a time of shame and pain and anger, and yet Sheila knew that she was emerging from it richer by far than the girl of a few weeks ago. Ma's life was richer, with this new friend to help her. Joe had a job, and in Frank McCann he had a valuable new friend, too. The Carscaddens might be moving to wider horizons, to new ideals, in a few weeks more. And however grieved Mrs. McCann might be at Gertrude's disappoint- ment, and at the publicity that had suddenly dragged a respectable fam- ily into the limelight, at least she had been very kind to Sheila, and Sheila hoped that after quiet weeks—months —of a return to normal conditions, she might think of Sheila Carscadden with friendliness and lilting again.

But more than all this, more than the excitement and change and sur-. prise for which Sheila and Angela had so often prayed, Sheila knew that there was deeper gain. Her own soul had been racked and stretched and stimulated into new growth. At twen- ty-one she could not analyze all this, yet she ras conscious of new wings beneath her spirit, and new courage to face the days that were ahead. She would go home and begin to live on lines completely different from the old haphazard ways of the past. There should be dignity under teasing and innuendo, there should be loving service quietly and simply ren- dered. Dishwashing should be en- nobled, and Sheila would brush her hair a hundred times every night, and rise in time for a bath every morn- ing. And as for reading - "Oh, I love it to slide like this! she shouted to Frank, as the deafening throbbing of the engine gave way to stillness, and the plane interrupted her musing with a graceful forward gliding like a gull. And instantly the line between un- thinking safety and desperate need to save life — just life — was bridged, and Sheila's throat was thickened and her heart stood still. She saw the world rush up at them, the fields with lines of black trees on snow, the long gray and white curve of surf. She clutched Frank, as they both instic- tively struggled in their seats, and buried her face in his shoulder. Then blackness. After a long wait and a dead silence someone said conversationally, "You are all right now, aren't you dear?" and Sheila answered politely, ''I'm fine, thank you. Except my head was sort of buzzing—" whIrpBedded the 1p•st er, for even saying so much she made her .Bead begin to buzz again and her stomach feel ankvthing bet safe. Not opening her eyes, she con- tinued to relax limply somewhere— against something— "Straighten the Por thing out a little," some woman said compas- sionately; "look how her arm's twist- ed under!" "Better leave things like they are until the atnlbulance gets here," a man's voice demurred, Sheila did not know they were speaking of her until someone began gingerly to raise her shoulder. t felt more comfortable, and she said feeb- ly, "Thanks". "Her mouth's all blood, she's burst a blood vessel," the first speaker said in a whisper. There seemed to be a good many persons murmuring and moving about. Sheila was conscious of no in. terest, much less concern, in what was going on. Consciousness waned, strengthened, waned again. She heard a jumble of words. "Did you ever in your life see—it came down like a stick—we thought it was on fire poor feller, poor fel- ler! I was just looking out to see were the children coming home—May was just saying—" "He's took up his last plane!" some- one said solemnly. .And a chorus agreed, "That's right. He's done for." Then there was the gong -gong - gone of a car, and a siren going "Who- oo-oo-ee!" like a great bird sweeping through the world.

There are usually so many good reasons to have a children's party during the summer — birthdays galore, small friends visiting one another, and the occasional grown-up party where the juniors are also present. When that happens, it's always a good idea to give them a special little corner where they can have their refresh- ments by themselves which makes them feel very important. It's also a help and relief to the adults too, who are trying to carry on conversa- tions. Refreshments for the youngsters can be very simple—in fact the simpler, the better from the stand- point of health. But what really makes it a party for them is some- thing ,a little different in decoration of+ :,:food. Some little trick that dresses plain food up in party clothes. Here is an idea for your next children's party that will de- light thein tremendously M .,tdj an unexpected thrill to their harpy time.. An assortment of easily - made sandwiches, a white cake, daintly iced and a sparkling jelly dessert will make a grandmenu. The following recipe gives you the sur- prise dessert which is so easily made that it is no task at all. All you need is a bit of- imagination, scis- sors, toothpicks, a. few sliced peaches and a package of lemon or orange quick -setting jelly powder. Dissolve the package of jelly powder in one pint of warm water. Chill in sher- bet glasses until slightly thickened,. Cut peaches in boat -shaped pieces and cut small triangles of paper for sails, Insert a toothpick through sail and into each peach slice, to hold • sail erect. Press one into the centre of each serving of thickened jelly. • Chill until firm. You can be sure the party will sail high in the wake of this fleet. Iced Tea Iced Tea is a deliciously different cool drink and it is very easily made, Use 6 heaping teaspoons of black _ tea. Infuse tea in one pint of fresh- ly boiled water for 6 minutes. Strain, and pour liquid into a two -quart cont tainer. While liot, add: 1% cups of granulated sugar, and juice of two lemons. Then shake or stir contents well, until sugar is thoroughly dissolved Fill container with cold water. Do not allow tea to cool before adding the cold water; otherwise, liquid will become cloudy. This is now read,- to serve in tall glasses with chipped ice or cubes. A slice of lemon may be added if de- sired. The above will make two quarts of iced tea, or 7 tall glasses. Trees rees on The Prairies A continuous effort has been made over many years to encourage the growth of trees on prairie farms. Possibly the primary reason was to improve these farms by .relieving them of the bareness of the flat: prairies. Latterly it has been dein onstrated that shelter belts and hedges reduce the corrosive force of high winds and also accumulate snow during the winter months. Thes( facts have added a new incentive to the tree .planting campaign.
