Peter was engaged to another girl. In love with him for a time, Sheila no longer cared for him, and she ran away to avoid doing so. While she was working as a waitress in an Atlantic City hotel, the newspapers printed columns about the disappearance of "The Mystery Girl.' Frank McCann, Peter's older brother, traced her and persuaded her to fly back to New York with him. The plane crashed near Newark, the pilot was killed and Frank and Sheila were injured, Frank badly. When Sheila was reunited with her family her widowed mother, her brother,Joe and her crippled younger sister, An- gela—she was distressed to find her- self again the object of thinly -veiled speculation in the newspapers. Mean- while, at the McCann mansion, Frank was recovering from his injuries. His fiancee, Bernadette Kennedy, unable to accept Frank's reason for seeing Sheila in Atlantic City, and divining that Frank loved Sheila, not her, re- nounced 'him. This she did at the McCann 'home in the presence of the McCann and Carscadden families. Bursting into tears, Sheila asked: "Joe, you believe me, don't you?" "I believe you," Joe said, angrily, "and I've had enough of these, rich folks that pretend they want to help a girl, just because she's honest enough to return any dollars their daughter didn't even know she'd lost! i don't care if my father and yours were friends dn. Albany," Joe went on, wildly, "I don't want My sister to have anything more to do with you!" "Joe—Joo—'a the judge began sor- rowfully. placatinglg. Joe shook off the friendly hand. I'll bid you all good day!" he said, heatedly. "Come on, Ma.. Colne on, Sheila!" They went out, Sheila and her 'mother and brother, into the night. "Theway it was, Mamma—"Sheila began. Carefully peeling and scraping red now potatoes, she was back in the home kitchen, back in an old faded gingham :apron, with her bronzed hair tied up severely in a handkerchief. Sheila had returned from church, she had enjoyed once again the delights of a leisurely home breakfast with the family, and she was now retailing to them, for the hundredth time, some of the lesser details of her adven- tures. Angela, having finished the dishes, was standing at the sink, occasional- ly mopping its already well -mopped surface absently. Mrs. Carscadden, just back from "ten," sat in the rocker, her black veil dangling on either side of her face, her cotton gloves and prayer book laid beside her on the table. Joe, really listen- ing, was pretending to read the pages of the paper. "Don't tell me how it was, Sheila," her mother said resignedly, "I can bear anything but that." Sheila put her head down on the table and laughed. "No one was iver as good as you can make yourself out to be, whin ye've bust up two good engagements, and thrown a family like the Mc- Canns into grief and sorrow!" Mrs. Carscadden observed. "Grief and sorrow! What do they care if Frank marries Bernadette Kennedy or not!" "Sheila," Angela said, seriously, "isn't he going to marry her?" "I don't know! You know as much as I do." "As for tellin' me the way it was, we've been all through it," Mrs. Cars- cadden was musing, in an undertone. "Mamma, d'ye think I'd do this?' an' d'ye think ra do that?' an' all the while you're name dragged across the front pages of the papers themselves, an' me not stippin' back from the merried women's mission but what a Iad from the papers'd come up to me an' ask me where the mystery girl does be, now, and whativer 'she'd be into next!" Sheila laughed :again. • "'Is this the Carscadden ger'rl's mother?'" Mrs. Carscadden continu- ed, still darkly reminiscent. "'It is! 'Where's yure daughter, thin, Ma- dam?' 'I know no more than the bir'rds!' "He looked at me—an' he had a very boulcl face on him," the- speaker continued impressively, "au' wit' that he give a kind of cry. 'Ye don't know where she is?' he says. 'No,' I says, 'but,' I says, 'there's those that do know,' I says, 'an' that wuddent tell ye, for fear ye'd have the poor ger'rl plastered over the papers again!' "'She. is plastered over the papers again,' says me lad, wit' a look. 'She came clown in a crash today, whin she'd be comin' home from Atlantic City,' he says, 'wit that other McCann boy!'" "Oh what a yell Mamma gave!" An- gola put in here with a shudder of reecollect',n. "The Reilly's hear'rd me, two flights down. You wouldn't belave the scheech I let out of mel" "I'd believe anything of this family" Sheila assured her. "Joe come in, thin, as white as a potato cake!" Mrs. Carscadden went on with her narrative. "'Come down to McCann's' he said to me. `Sheila is all but, kilt, and they're bringin' her there!'" Sheila had heard all this before, She would hear it again. Whatever happened in the Carscadden family, or indeed in any allied or neighboring family, was immediately transmuted into history, into a saga, to be recitod in the regular series of sagas— the deaths, births, calamities, fortunes of the entire grottp were her mother's stock in trade. "Mother," Sheila said, "is it my fault if an airplane comes down near Newark, New Jersey?" "It may not be your fault," her mother responded oracularly, "but there's few cud get thimselves mixed up in trouble the way you do an' kapo such an innocent face on you. What- iver you'd be doin' to get into one of thim Zeppelins I don't know, an' that you'd come down near Newaml?, New Jersey, is no more than you dose'rti - ed! 4 little befoor that," Mrs. Cat's- c`atid?,n ►,jif t in_,1 droning, r - signed er� of Monotone, "it was iiis appeared you wet oanogl 1 ' no, e• Iia l pan?. e, or..sighht of ye for days.

She was not deeply concerned: sho was thinking of something else this morning. She had made up her mind to some- Stretching ome- Stret ch ng Good For Little Tots Rhythmic, Graceful Movements Beat For Young Chfld The best exercises for the young child are those which stretch and re- lax their musclesalternately, and in- volve rhythmic and graceful move- ments, says a writer in New Health Magazine. Physical jerks are out of place in a child's curricullun. The key to their movements lies in the care -free dancing and rresilientmo- tion of their every -day, activities, Stretching movements are especi- ally beneficial, as they develop the greater activities of the system, and, at the same time, strengthen the liga- rents and cords that hold the or- gans in place. It is easy to include deep breathing with stretching move- ments and so develop the most im- portant life function of the human being. Some day we will awaken to the truth of the old saying that "Man shall not live by bread alone," and realize that the indispensable ele- ment of our lives is the air we breathe. It is sufficient to state here that the mental qualities and charac- ter of a person are now proved to be in direct ratio to the depth and rhy- thm of his breathing."

She was going to call on Frank Mc- Cann. The terrible day of the plane crash was now almost two weeks in the past; Sheila had had no communica- tions since with the McCann family. The unfortunate pilot of the plane had been buried, the physicians had reported Frank as making good pro- gress toward recovery, and news- papers had turned to other matters. Joe Carscadden had telephoned the McCann house almost every day, and had extended sympathy and made in- quiries for the whole family, and it had finally been decided by, her mother, Angela and Joe, that Sheila should write Frank a "nice note," telling him how glad she was that he was getting well, and expressing her: heartiest wishes for his marriage to Miss Kennedy.

"ROTTEN STORY" The Duke was revealed, in a state- ment to the Evening Standard, to have described. Sir Gerald's remarks as "a rotten story:" Sir Gerald, whose chief task as Garter Icing -of -Arms is to proclaim the accession of a King, told a Lyceum Club dinner: "Less tiine was allowed for funeral arrangements to be made than ever before.

Wollaston referred to that part of the Duke's statement revealing that he, the Duke, called a meeting to dis- cuss arrangements the day after King George's death and that Queen Mary wanted the funeral January 28, 1936, the day it was held. I recollect that the Duke did say something to that effect, that it was his mother's wish that the funeral should be concluded in a week: in order to avoid prolonging distre-.s to the Royal Fancily,"' Wollaston said. "All I said about King Gcorge's funeral was simply incidental to my general remarks on the nature of my work." Lord reaverbrook's Daily Express in an editorial declared "the Duke of Windsor defends himself this time, and it is about time, too." "'What is more," it added, ehe has done it in first rate style. For long enough every one has taken a free kick at the marl who was King. High and low have had their say about him —Now the Duko answers the state- ments of Sir Gerald Wollaston.. "It is a pity this matter had to be the subject of controversy. But do not blame that upon the Duke. He shows, and it is good he does, that in things that concern him personally ho is no longer going to let the rest of the world do all the talking." Mosquitoes Mr. Arthur Gibson, Dominion En- tomologist, knows as mach as any man about making war on mosquitoes and his letter to Mayor Lewis offers a basis on which definite and continu- ous action should be planned. Mr. Gibson says it will cost about 10,000 a year to assure "compara- tive freedom" from the mosquito plague in the mertopolitan area of about fifty square miles in which re- side more than 200,000 persons—in other words, five cents per capita per year. This money would provide for a general supervisor; would allow considerable expenditure on cutting ditches, removing brush, other per- manent measures; oiling on a large scale; the purchase and maintenance of the necessary equipment.—Otta- wa Journal, Jalnig erwia w Car F3 nn-42rs We have suggested it before, but again we urge the noting of automo- bile numbers as a hobby. All good citizens, observing cars being driven in suspicious manner or circumstance - es, should make a point of jotting down the numbers. Many times such a habit has resulted in the arrest of criminals. In Schomberg, a woman was able to give the police a valuable clue when she handed them the number o9 a car which had been driving to and fro on the streets of that place, which showed the direction travelled by e gang of robbers. Many a hit -and -ruts driver has got away,leaving his vio- tim dead or dying on the highway andi never is arrested beenuse no one in the vicinity has yearned the habit o£ taking numbers. It is a good habit worthy of cultivation.

Bisbee is in the heart of the cattle country. A Mexican, charged with being in-: toxicated, was given a sentence of $10 or 10 days. A few hours later, the prisoner's son arived in the courtl room with a calf which he offered fold his father's freedom. "Ten dollars or 10 days means= what it says," said the judge, "thel prodigal prisoner will return to thel, fatted calf in nine days."
