Then she learned from the bay that he loved her, but was to marry another girl, Gertrude Keane. When they started, to leave, the door was locked. While trying to escape, they encountered two men, bootlegger gangsters, who, fearing Sheila and Peter know too much, kid- napped them. When they were re- leased two days later, Sheila's family was skeptical of her story. Her brother, Joe, produced a tele►'ram, which read:— "Peter and I married here.—Sheila." She had begged the gangsters to assure her family of her safety and this telegram was the re- sult. When she denied they were married, her family was shocked. Sheila had just • declared she would rave her home forever when Frank McCann, Peter's elder brother, ap- peared. He explained that he and Joe had given a marriage announce- ment to the newspapers as the best way out of a difficult situation. The next Jay Judge and Mrs. 1V1'cCani proposed that Peter and Sheila liwa and gets a job as a waitress at an Atlantic City hotel, and Frank McCann ap- pears suddenly and persuade 3.eer to fly back to New York wilt i1, hunt The plane crashes, The poor pilot, she mused.

Frank said, opening his eyes. "Oh, does it! I was just thinking. My heart is pumping so, I can hard- Iy breathe." They were in the city streets; the ambulance bell was ringing steadily now, and Sheila could see the side- walk crowds eying thein intere$tedly as they went through. "I had them telephone Mother I'd hurt my arm, and to have Doctor Underwood at the house," Frank said. "Weld! Not much more of this, eh? Well be conifortabfe in no time now, Sheila," "tiVhen on earth could you phone your mother?" "I had the police sergeant do it, asked him to telephone. Just to say that there'd ben a smash and that we were all right, and on our way in. I told him to say that Mother was to use her own judgment about getting in touch with your mother—" "Ma's probably got the fire de- partment out!" exclaimed Sheila, aghast.

She was diverted. "For goodness' sakes look at the evening papers!" she exclaimed, And, glanc- ing eagerly out at a corner newsboy, she read a headline: "MYSTERY GIRL IN PLANE CRASH!" For a minute the words meant nothing to Sheila. Then her heart gave a great spring. In the remain- ing few seconds that they waited at the corner, she leaned forward and saw the front sheet of the paper, the hurried blurred photographs of the. group in the park, the plane's great fallen wings, the lifted form of the dead man. "That's the crash, all right," Miss Sutter said. "It doesn't take long to get things into papers nowadays, does it? But where do they get that `mystery girl' stuff? You and I—" She glanced at Frank and then at Sheik. "„Yo tre his wife, aren't you?" sire aske. "Oh no. kr. McCann was just - bringing me home," S;ileila ,said, with a queer, affronted little lauggu. "Oh, I see—" the nurse said, in a peculiar tone, with a quick glance. "Mr. McCann," Sheila explained, in a low tone, with a wary look at his closed eyelids and unconscious face, "is engaged to be married to a ten Duyvil." The nurse's young bright eyes were sympathetic. "You two were trying to get away with something, hey?" she guessed shrewdly, smiling. "I don't mean anything wrong, just—" she paused. "For Heaven's sake!" she said. "I wish I was dead," Sheila said simply. Frank muttered incoher- ently. "He'll be all right when he gets his arm set," Miss Sutter said in a whisper. "He's dazed with shock." "That isn't what's worrying me," Sheila answered, dully. "It's what my mother'll think, and what his people will think—" "But my good gracious, it isn't, your fault if you're in an accident!" the other girl said quickly. "No, of course not," Sheila admit- ted, uneasily. "But—but it just seems as if everything had gone crazy!" she lamented. Frank opened his eyes. "Don't worry, Sheila," he said, in a deep reassuring voice that still had traces of stupor in it. "I'll take care of you. We're all right!" The car turned a corner; they were at the McCann house. "Oh, God, protect us!" Sheila said in a whisper. It was a prayer. Oh, Frank," she said, "look! There's a million people waiting!" Not a million.

Mr. •Dionne showed little inclination' to :be drawn out on any subject con- cerning the quints but when he was ,asked what he thought of the latest moving picture of the five, he re- plied: "It was awful. They compared my babies to "a litter of animals." We give Mr. Dionne credit for making that statement. There are some people who regard the father of the quints as an ignoramus. True, he doesn't hold a university degree. He may not have passed the high school entrance 'examinations. His book learning is not extensive, but he manifested that he does possess sense of proportions when he ob- jects to classifying animals with hu- mans.

But .what's the use of iced drinks if you get all hot and bothered making them? However, there are short cuts for making cool drinks and the following recipes are selected to give you the quickest, easiest, and most delicious methods for making several grand drinks.

Iced chocolate then, for the youngsters, not only because they love it, but because the wise mother can supplement her children's diet this way and give them plenty of nourishment In the odd glass of iced chocolate. It's also an ideal way to serve milk to those young scamps who insist that they don't like milk. Lced Tea 3 cups fresh cold water 3 rounding teaspoons tea Heat water just to a bubbling boil.

Polo -necked sweaters often stretch in the wash. TO prevent this run a wool strand round the neck and draw up tightly. Do not take out until the sweater is dry. Hang a carrier bag behind the" pantry door and put empty paper bags, brown paper and string into it. You will save time when you have a parcel to make up. When boiling milk put a clean _ marble into the pan. It will stir the milk automatically and prevent burn- ing. Tissue paper will remove rainspots from satin. Crush the paper into a soft ball and rub over the spotted parts with a circular movement. Taking Exercise lin Small Dotes Nut A Wise Policy to Make Start of Vacation too Ambitious Foolish indeed is the girl who, on the first day of her vacation, plays 18 holes of golf or two or three fast sets of tennis, goes swimming, rows a bit, takes a br:sic walk, then dances half the night. If she has not had nni011 exercise since last summer's holiday, such an ambitious start will overtax her muscles and matte theta sore and; in general, do her body more harm than good. The sensible idea, of course, is to take active sports as well as white hot sunshine - in lackades:cal manner for the first four or five days. Swim, ride, play tennis and golf or go mountain relimbing if you lilte, but don't do any of these for hours at a time or all of them in one day. And do c,'ot• a little more sleep and rest than you are in the habit of getting at home. Naturally, hav:ng as much fun as possible is all-important, and it sloes not ..latter when . you sleep as long as you do it. If you have danced un- til two, don't; make an appointment to go swimming at nine the same morning, Go oat and sloop until past noon, then sid'fin. Two,,, to throe weeks of adequate rest and a sensible =Mint.. of •oxercide can do a good deal to keep you healthy and happy for an entire: year. And don't go nat:ve unless you have isolated yourself in a little cabin miles and miles from another human being. No matter where you spend your vacation, keep a lipstick Bandy and do use something to pre- vent a severe case of sunburn and all the grief which invariably follows it. If you are one who seldom can find time to apply a mask or give face and throat a thorough creaming and if you really enjoy playing around with beauty preparations, use a few hours of your vacation improving hair, skin, figure. You might even take along some samples of new makeups you have not had a chance to try. There are 3,006 county divisions and 22 independent cities in the United States.
