Then she learned from the boy 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 telegram, 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 leave her home forever when Frank McCann, Peter's elder brother, ap- peared. He explained that he and Joe Iiad given a marriage announce- ment to the newspapers as the best way out of a difficult situation. The next day Judge and Mrs. McCann proposed that Peter and Sheila marry. Sheila runs away and gets a job as a waitress at an Atlantic City hotel, and Frank McCann ap- pears suddenly and persuades her to Direct from Montreal to ENGLAND, SCOTLAND IRELAND AND FRANCE "ASCANIA" "ANTONIA" "ALAUNIA" "ANDANIA" "AURANIA" "AUSONIA" "ATHENIA" "LETITIA'S Popular Steamers Sailing Every Friday offering Individual attention and complete personal service to passengers.

"I'm go- ing. \You'll understand—you'll un- derstand, of course, that this changes everything." "Oh, Bernadette, my dear!" Mrs. McCann said, in a heartbroken tone. "You must see that!" the girl said, in a quick, feverish manner. She stood close to Mrs. McCann, her fin- gers nervously busy with her lace collar. "You see that?" she asked. "Bernadette," the Judge said, "don't be too quick to judge him. We mustn't jump to conclusions. In a few days—when, God willing, he'll be better—" "No, never!" the spirit. "Never! You said. He never saw girl said with heard what he me. He never spoke to me! It was—it was—" She began to choke, flung up her head, was silent. "Bernadette, dear," Mrs. McCann said, her arm about her, "control yourself. I feel as bad as you do. It doesn't seem possible it's Frank. But let's give the poor child the bene- fit of the doubt." "Doubt!" the girl echoed quickly, with a scornful laugh. "You heard what he said !" "Bernadette," said Mrs. McCann "you know as well as T do that Frank McCann is incapable of anything un- derhand—" "Underhand!" The girl caught up the word again, angrily. "I don't know what you call it. Engaged to me, he was visiting this—this girl down there at Atlantic City! I don't care—I don't care whether he was living with her or not!" she rushed on recklessly, and the,,•judge-an is from the phrase as if from a blow. "That doesn't make any difference!" Bernadette Kennedy said, beginning to sob. "What difference does that make, so long as We know that he knew she was there, and was going down to see her — and her own mother didn't know where she was— and even the papers didn't know it —look at them! Look at them to- night," Bernadette went on hysteri- cally, "they call her the `mystery girl,' and they say that Frank Mc- Cann, eldest son of Judge McCann— you saw it! You saw what they said about her living at some hotel down there, and this Mrs. Kearney saying that Krank used to telephone her every day or two—'' "Why, that's a lie!" Sheila said, understanding at last. "That's a lie!" Fran': never telephoned me in his Iife ! ' "Cil:" breathed Airs. McCann, this is terrible!" "I wouldn't believe anything you said, if you swore it on the Gospels," Bernadette said, in a row, trembling tone, turning toward Sheila. "I wouldn't care whether you be- lieved me or not!" Sheila returned fiercely. "You ruined Peter McCann's life, and Gertrude Keane's life," Berna- dette flung at her, breathlessly. "You might as well know it, you've ruined all our lives!

Pour of them have gah ed half an inch in height, and the fifth, Yvonne, a quarter -inch, since May 28. All ex- cept Cecile, who was unchanged, showed weight gains of up to •a pound. With .a rapidly increasing influx of tourists, crowds of up to 2,500 are - not unusual at the daily "showing" of the children. Highest total for the season to date is reported from. Dr. A, R. Dafoe's office as being about 3,000. Weights, heights and new teeth were in the monthly review present- ed by Dr..Dafoe, and in each case one of the babes lagged behind her sis- ters. Yvonne failed to cut a tooth and Cecile's weight remained stationary. Weight with changes from, last month are: Marie, 29 lbs., gain 1 lb. Emile, 31 lbs., gain 1 lb. Cecile, 31 lbs., unchanged. Annette, 32 lbs., gain %% ib. Yvonne, 31 3-4 lbs., gain 3-4 lbs. Height:4 Marie) 34 inches, gain %. Emilie, 35, gain 3f. Cecile, 35, gain %. Annette', 35%, gain %. Yvonne, 35, gain 14.

Both in Canada and the United States large sums are being spent on new rolling stock. Up till two years ago there was practically nothing being spent, no branch of industry was harder kit by the depression. Even mainten- ance. News comes from the Association of American Railroads that little more than a month ago Class One railroads had more new freight cars on order than on any corresponding date. since 1926. In all there are 47,290 new cars now on order, as compared with 1,449 only two years ago. Even more impressive are the figures for new locomotives. At the beginning of last month, orders had begin placed for 345. This compares with but 52 locomotives built in 1936 and one in 1935. The C. P. R. and the Canadian Na- tional have set aside more than $10,- 000,000 for new rolling stock. This is now being built and much larger orders are expected. The happiest feature of this news is that such purchases indicate that, railroads in both countries are meet- ing expenses, in many cases making good profits. "When the railroads make money, the whole continent makes money," said Harriman near- ly 40 years ago. The axion is for- '.tunately just as true today as it was then.

The papers no sooner get through with denying you're married to Peter McCann than they have you in an airplane smash with Frank !" "He may be dying, and you can talk about him like that!" Sheila said, her face ashen white. filer dress was still dusty and rumpled, her face dirty, and she had a deep purple bruise on one temple. But there was , a flaming beauty—a force—in her aspect, as she faced the other girl, that made Bernadette draw back. "Pretend that you Iove`him, why don't you?" Bernadette said, in a frightened dogged voice, "I don't have to! I thought you did!", "Your kind always pretend that they love everyone," Bernadette said, in bitter contempt. "It's all love, and how a boy isn't understood at home, and things like that!" "My kind!" Sheila echoed, with .a bewildered look about the stricken circle. "Yes, your kind! The kind that gees to a place like Atlantic City • with a rich man's son!" "Look here," Joe Carscadden said,. suddenly taking a part in the con-.. veisation. "Look here, Miss What's-] your -name. You be careful what you call my sister, will you, or you'll find yourself in trouble! Sheila isn't re- sponsible to you for what she does— no, nor the newspapers, either! "I've- just been talking to her," Joe continued, warming at the sound of his own voice, "and she's been working hard in a hotel down there at Atlantic City, with no more idea that Frank McCann knew where she was than—" "That the babe itself!" Mrs. Car- scadden supplied,, as he paused for breath, and for a smile. ";Ioe, you believe me, don't you?" Sheila stammered, bursting into tears.

' Save The Trees The best known grove of big Douglas firs is that which lies on the Island Highway between Cam- eron Lake and Alberni. These Cath- edral Trees, as they have been call- ed, never fail to thrill anyone who passes through them. More than one government has promised that they will be ,preserved. But governments come and go and nothing is done. Mr. Pattullo cannot celebrate his confirmation in power in a better or more lasting way than by making definite and immediate arrangements to save these trees from destruction. —Vancouver Province.
