Thep 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 :tory. Her brother Joe produced a telegram, sent from Bos- ton, which read: "Peter and I mar• vied 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. Shoi.':a opened cne eye. A rush of v_rtigo overwhelmed her. Pain flash- ' ed over her head like the strands of a net. She saw big dim figures, black against the sunshine, and shut her eyes again. Presently she said, "Frank!" 'Right here, Sheila!" he said. "How —how are you?" "I wouldn't try to move if I were you," a voice said respectfully. "The ambulance'll be here in a couple of Unites." v4iVe me a hand there, will you?"

"Sheila, Sheila — you're not seri. ously hurt?" "I don't think so." "But tell me—oh, God, my arm!" There was agony in his voice. "You —you're all right, dear!" Frank said shakily. "We've sent for an ambulance, sir "My shoulder hurts, but I can move it." Sheila said. "My dear, my dear, your face is all blood!" Frank told her. He laughed brokenly. "Look at us!" he faltered. He fished out a handkerchief; his handsome, fine handkerchief, beauti- fully monogramed. Sheila moved a crimped arm; one of the women gent- ly began to wipe her face. "Could you wet that somewhere?" the woman said. "Poor girl, she's as conscious as I am myself." "Oh, thank you," she said, as eyes and mouth and nostrils were freed. "That's so much better. We—well, we came down, didn't we?" "I'll tell the world," the woman who was bending over her said sol- emnly. "You had a mighty narrow es- cape." "The man—that nice -looking avia- tor—?" She looked from the woman's face to Frank's. Frank nodded gravely. His rich black hair was uncovered and tumbled, his face streaked with grease and dirt. "Couldn't we—couldn't the young lady and I be driven straight home? would be a great accommodation to me," Frank was saying. "Keep those people back there!" one of the policemen ordered. "Ah -h -h! murmured the crowd. Something was being carried away, some motor engine was starting. "I think your arm is broken, sir," the sergeant said. " - knoiv darned well it's broken," *balk agre atetelly, with. the 'laugh of a person in pain. "It would take you another hour. You wouldn't rather go to the emer- gency hospital in Newark, and then go on, sir?" "I'd much rather get home. I don't want my mother alarmed, or the young lady's mother alarmed." "There may be internal injuries, sir." "You mean—the young lady?" "Well, either of you." "I think she may feel the shock. She'll be much — much better at home," Frank said. "The newspapers will get this — we want to make as little of it as possible—" "The pilot was killed, sir." "Oh, that part. No, we can't hush that up. But the less excitement, the fewer reporters—" "This was a very nice fellow that was' here now. Potter, of the Leader. I know him well. He's a Newark man," the officer said. "Wouldn!t you much rather go home, Sheila?" "Oh, so much rather, Frank! If Ma saw it in the papers she'd die of shock." "Here's the ambulance now, Mr. McCann." "I'll fix it." Evidently Frank did fix it, for im- mediately it appeared that they were to be driven straight into the city. Frank limped toward the big gray car, leaning heavily on the police of- ficer; Sheila found herself strangely shaky, too, and was grateful for the quick, kindly support of the ambu- lance nurse. "I wouldn't look over there, dear!" the nurse said, as Sheila's eyes went toward the collapsed plane that lay like a great crippled bird on the soot -speckled snow. "It makes me feel sick---" Sheila whispered, shuddering. "I should think it might!" the nurse murmured comfortingly as she helped Sheila into the ambulance. "Heavens, what a crowd!" Sheila said dizzily'. "Doesn't it just seem as if they come from nowhere?" Frank half sat, half lay on the ex- tended bed; Sheila could see frexn the working muscles of his face that he was in pain. "This'll frighten my mother to death!" Frank said. "Your little party certainly had a miserable ending!"

They can be served and ar so acceptable, at almost any functi where refreshments are in order. Th family meals, of course, are conSie ered first of all, and every hour wife knows just how important t the diet and health of her family ark' fresh, green vegetables which are plentiful and cheap during the stili mer months. Then, of course; then is the question of saving time, ,ax that must be considered from ':tb standpoint of the housewife. Therey are so many reasons why you- should,$ serve salads,that every housewife will serve plenty of them but more than that, you will *ant to serve' salads like the one below, It i nourishing, time -saving, good-look- ing ood-look ing and tasty. Afterit has been ec-t cepted in the family circle, you might'< make it for the summer bridge luncheon or the community picnic.

Serves 8, Try These Chinese Dishes There are superstitions about :cheese that every sensible person should do his or her best to suppress and abolish, The most common of !:hese silly notions are that cheese is heavy and indigestible. There may be a rare person who suffers one or more of these reactions, but 999 times out of a thousand, the cheese is not at fault. It is due usually to some other cause, one of the causes being over -eating, another is the gobbling of food, and a third is a diet containing too much protein foods. Cheese is made from pasteurized xnilk, it is high in food value, rich n .'Stitehear bric loves MAYFAIR 222 • Onus you discover how mple and easy it is to n:a:;e your own hand -sewn gloves, you •-will want them to match or contrast each costume in your wardrobe.

Frank did not open his eyes; Sheila said nothing. The ambulance rumbled along slowly. Sheila's thoughts wove back and forth dreamily. Now that the first horror was over she felt oddly weary and weak. Her shoulder hurt her, an her head ached dully, but ah—how good it would be to get home to Mother, to be away from the crowd, and the voices and the ques- tions! She need never see the pantry at the Pendergast again, never take orders from Mr. Benny. In a few hours more she would be safe hi the beloved home kitchen, talking to Ma; watching Angela's round eyes pop out of her head with excitement; she would be drinking a cup of tea the way she liked it, reaching to the stove for her toast, . • "Isn't it getting dark early?" Frank said, suddenly rousing from the stupor into which he occasional- ly seemed to lapse, "It's nearly five, Frank," Sheila said. "Five!" "Yes. I just saw a clock." "These things take time, you know," the nurse observed soothing- ly. Sheila, sick and shaken as she was, thought that she must remem- ber that to tell Joe.

The following recipes suggest the infinite variety of forms in which cheese may be served: Cheese and Rice Croquettes 1 egg 2 tablespoons melted butter, salt, pepper 2 cups cold boiled rice 1 lb. soft cheese 1 egg and crumbs. Method:—Add egg, butter and a dash of salt and pepper to the rice and xnix well. Form cheese into small balls. Cover these with the rice mixture, so the cheese will be inside the rice covering. Form into balls. Dip in fine crumbs, beaten egg and then in crumbs again. Fry in hot shortening, either deep or shallow. Serve with cheese sauce made by adding one-half cup or more of grated cheese to a plain, medium white sauce. Flavorsome Dish % pound chopped beef 1 tablespoon shortening eft pound spaghetti, cooked i 1 cup finely sliced cheese, salt and pepper. Method:—Brown meat in shorten- ing. Add the meat to the spaghetti and the cheese. Add salt and pep- per to taste. Turn mixture into a well greased baking dish and brown in moderate oven. Poached Eggs With Cheese Eggs (one for each serving), spinach, salt and pepper, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, dash of mace, cheese sauce, paprika. Method:—Drain cooked spinach. Chop fine and add salt, pepper and a little lemon juice and a bit of mace. Heat and put it in, the bottom of a baking dish, a shallow one. Over it put a layer of cheese sauce. Lay on this the poached eggs and cover all with a generous amount of sauce. Sprinkle with paprika. Place in the oven to reheat. With this serve a tomato and cel- ery salad, and some dessert such as pastry or sponge cake. And have coffee, by all means—in fact, serve coffee whenever a cheese dish as a main course, is served. Don't you know how good it tastes with a rare- bit, or with crackers and cheese? The Value of H gni s The value of Humus lies in it's high moisture retaining powers, and because of its light fibrous texture. Humus that is neutral, neither acid nor alkaline and containing a high percentage of ammonia and nitrogen has a twofold value, it acts as a moisture retainer and when mixed with soil produces a porous top sur- face; it acts further as an insulator and nourisher, keeping the plant roots cool and supplied with ample moisture. Humus, by retaining mois- ture readily keeps up the multipli- cation of bacteria life which, where soil is baked and dry, dies out in millions and the development of plant life is retarded. Marl is light gray or white in col- our, very fine grained in texture, soft and soapy to the touch and has' excellent fertilizing qualities. Swe- den, Germany, America, France,' etc., are now supplying world mar-' kets with this type of soil condi- tioners in vast quantities. Reports by leading scientists and geologists reveal that the Beverly • bog contains the same essenieal ma- terials and the discovery of these deposits has given Canada a distinct advantage.
