Their families insisted that they marry, regarding the episode as • a wild escapade, 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 ' ' 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 • ware injured, Frank badly. When Sheila was reunited with her family her widowed mother, her brother,Joe . and her crippled younger sister, An- gelo—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 reeoverino 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. Bt:r'ating into tears, Sheila asked: "Jas. you believe mo, don't you?" "And 1 knew it ti:..s Frank!" Angela concluded triumphantly. The other girl spoke slowly: "I've know all along that it was Frank." "And• in his wire — Sheila, do you think he likes you?" Angela deumnd- ed eagerly. "Angela, i don't know. He only says 'Coming to see you Sunday.' "Tomorrow?" ' "I guess so." "Is he going to marry Miss Ken- nedy, Sheila?" "I don't know." "Ma will pass out when she hears he'.; coming!" Angela predicted in a silence, "She has a fit if anyone even says McCann. 1 think she's afraid that if anything more happens we'll get bounced out of here and have to go back." "if ever we're kicked out of this house," Sheila said, "I'll work and I'll slave, 11.1 wash motor cars, it I have to, but somehow I'll get back here again! Other people have come up in the world, and why shouldn't we? These lower apartments rent for thir- ty-two fifty, well — what of it? That's no rentl" ''Oh, Sheila," Angelia murmured, awed. "Judge McCann didn't have a cent when he came to this country. He told me so. His mother brought hint here when he was eight, and he and his brother Prank used to go out nights after wood." "Sheila, what'll you do if Frank Mc- Cann is just coming down here to tell you he's going to be married?" the younger sister asked after a silence. "I thought of that." "But after all, why should he?" An- gela asked sensibly. • "It's just one of the things he would do," Sheila mused. "Well," she added, with spirit, "he'll not see me lose my` nerve!" "But will you feel — terribly, Shei- la?" Angela asked timidly, after an- other pause. ,:a;;:rt her gaze back from far spaces. . "Oh, Angola, it will be very hard," she answered, simply. It was not fifteen minutes later that Angela called. "Sheila!" "Woo -hoe!" Sheila returned, from the depths of the house. "]VIr: McCann is here!" Angela shouted. "Mr. McCann what?" (There were hairpins in Sheila's mouth.) "Mr. McCann is here." "Yes, he is!" Sheila said in a clear- er tone, "Well, amuse him until I put on some lipstick. Dance and sing to him, dear, and give him a sweet kiss, she added. And quite audibly she went on, "Ma, I'm mixed up with those Mc- Cann boys again!" "God forbid!" Mrs. Carscaclden's voice said fervently. "I really an,, 1MIa." "There's worse things than death, if the truth were known," the older wo- man observed solemnly. "Sheila!" Angela called sharply. "Mr. McCann really is here!" "What!" they could hear Sheila gasp in a sharp whisper. She came to the door of the sun porch; she saw him, tall and. dark and smiling. "Well, really, Ange!ia," she said, in the last stage of horror and exasperation. "Really!" "Well, what else could I do?" An- gela. retorted, aggrieved. "I don't know what you'll think -- I never dreamed — I wish I could re- member what I said — how are you?" Sheila said, ]oohing so lovely in her confusion and pleasure and anger that Frank gave au embarrassed laugh and stammered on his own account as he greeted her. "You didn't say anything, except .that your sister was to dance and sing for me, which she hasn't done." Mrs. Carscadden now majestically adding herself to the group, Frank addressed himself to her in tones not quite loud enough to drown out her scathing observation to Sheila to the effect that perhaps now, she, Sheila, would not feel it necessary to wake the dead when anyone called her on a message. "I did say Sunday in my wire," ad- mitted Frank, "but today was such a heavenly day, and I was free—" "There vets nothing sold to me of a telegram," Mrs. Carcadden assured him. "That's the manners of today," she continued. "They'd niver tell you anything, the lot of them. My own good mother'd never have a dispatch -- an' it was few she had, thanks be to God for ivery last wan of them had death in the fir'rst wor'rd of it — but she'd niver have one of them that the whole lot of us wouldn't run to her like a flock of bir'rds. We kep' no - thin' from her, nor she from us." "Telegram used to mean trouble, , Pop says," Frank contributed cheer- fully. "Children mane throuble," Mrs. Carscadden instanlj amended it. "That one, now," she went on, with a dark glance at Sheila, "she'd drag the whole family into it like a dog draggin' a table -cloth!" "Mamma, you don't believe that," Sheila protested. "It's up in flying machines, off in oat's, onto roofs, — she'll leap into anything!" pursued the mother. "Sheila will," Frank said simply, looking at her. (To be continued) W «.Irk Provided For 750 More $300,000,00 Construction in Lea- mington and Delhi Districts Will Mean Employment A¢ 2,100 Tobacco Workers. Good uewd for seasonaltobacco workers and their families in the vic- inity of Delhi and Leamington, Ont., is provided in an announcement this week by the Imperial Leai' Tobacco Companj' of Canada, Limited. New.. construction costing in the neighbour- hood of $300,000.00, now under way at these two points, will provide work for as many as 2,100 employees, which is 750 more than 'formerly employed —the exact number depending 'upon the size of this year's tobacco crop— and will result in better working eon- ditions and improved facilities' for the handling and storage of tobaccoafter. it is received from the growers. A new three storey building 88' x 142' is being constructed at Delhi. It will be of reinforced concrete through- out, and the upper floor will have glass bricks in place of windows. Through their northern exposure will. come an oven and abundant diatribe - tion of the precious north light, so coveted by artists and all those who work incolours, to insure greater pre, vision and uniformity in the selection of the different colours and grades of tobaccos, Additional lnpro@'emonts to be in- corporated in the new building include a depressed road which will allow easy handling of tobacco from the far- mer's truck to the basement floor, From the basement it will be conveyed vertically to the second floor where a continuous horizontal conveyor, run. Hing all around the room, will carry bundles of tobacec to those who grade it for colour and quality, After it leaves the graders, the tobacco will be gathered on a central conveyor which will discharge on the first or middle floor. Here the tobacco, now graded, will be tied into hands and placed on sticks ready to go into the dryers, Similar work on a smaller scale is being done at Leamington, Ontario, where alterations costing in the neigh- bourhood of $50,000.00 are taking place, The Home C r er Ey ELEANOR DAA L' DELICIOUS PARTY CAKES If you really want to "go to town" on your next cake -baking spree, here are two takes which will justify the terns. The recipe is the same 'far both of them, but a variation 'in fihi= ing and frosting gives yout:two ferent cakes. These* have a professional 'air x which is very satisfying to the douse-' wife when she can tell her 'friends that she baked them herself. You can almost feel a party coming on'. when you look at these two, and that is just what they are intended for. But you can't make these fine cakes, or any others, without fine in- gredients. Your time and effort is all wasted unless you make sure that what goes into your cake is the very best that you can buy—good short- ening, fresh eggs and, above all, the finest of feathery -fine cake flour. The best cake flour is 27 times as fine as ordinary flour. It gives you a satiny - smooth batter, , a feathery, light and delicately tender cake. A twist of the wrist gives you the sponge roll, a sharp knife and care- ful placing of layers and you have the tier cake.

Dr. Joseph van Denburg, chair- man, said that in view of the variety of authorities cited by candidates to support differing pronunciations, the board has decided to relegate this particular bone of contention to the boneyard. "Any pronunciation which has any authority at all will be accepted by the board of examiners," said Dr.' van Denburg, IN "O,K," CONDITION It's easy for a driver to blame some defect in his car" for an acci- dent. Don't he misled by these flimsy excuses. Figures of the Acci- dent Recording Division of the De - pertinent of Highways show that in 1936, 9,951 out of 10,438 cars involv- ed in accidents were in apparently good condition, and 571 of 626 cars involved in fatalities seemed to be "o.k." These statistics show clearly that the defect is usually curable by the application of a little driving "horse sense." ui1te Fir Bedroom Beauty These handsome little quilted pillows are just the th=ug for my lady's boudoir—and they make delightful gifts.
