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 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?" "What makes it harder for my mother, Frank," Sheila said serious- ly, looking at him with shining blue eyes, under the fringe of bang, "is that she belonged to such an extra- ordinary family, herself. They lived in Ireland, the land of the martyrs. Their one thought was how they could be more saintly, and a cross word you'd never hear from Epiph- any to Christmas! When they could hardly ,toddle they were all down on their little bare knees begging my grandmother to let then go over to church, and when a fair came along, what'd they all do but trot poor little barley -sugar pennies off to God's holy poor. Visions were an everyday thing with my Aunt Mag- Seated as sbc was on the arm of her mother's chair, she could not see Mrs. Carscadden's face, but Sheila sensed the danger in the air and in- terrupted herself to lay her own ex- quisite laughing face against her mother's hair, and widen her eyes at Angela and Frank. "If you know all that," said the matron scathingly, "and if you've had yure supper, you may as well call it a day!" "Ma, isn't that all true?" "It's truer than a great deal you'll say before you die, me dear'r." "Mad, Ma?" Sheila coaxed her, at the Name time pressing a sharp thun;a nail into the small of her mother's back with a force that would have caused a Iess experienc- ed person to cry aloud. Mrs. Cars- mdden rose. "Angela," she said instantly, like :he good mother she was, "will ye step into the back room there wit' are, dear'r, whilst I'd pin up the little rur'rtains ?" "Let me help!" Frank offered. "1 wud, indade, Mr. McCann. But 'twill on'y take us the second of a second! An' how's yure good mam- ma?" Afro. Carscadden asked po- litely, in retreat. "She's fine, thank you. She was perfectly delighted," Frank said, "with Angela's letter about the new house." "Do we love it!" Sheila exclaimed. "We'll be back," her mother said, departing with Angela. Frank and Sheila were alone. "Do you honestly like it?" Frank said then. "Like it! We're perfectly mad about it. Having the corner, do you see—we'll always have -floods of sun. The joke is," Sheila went on nerv- ously, "that my sister Marg'ret and her husband, Louis Shea, came down last Sunday, and now they want to get down in this neighborhood, and Neely's wife's mother lives only three blocks away, so she's down with the baby all the time, and now Joe and Ceely are looking at the up - .per flats, in the middle of the block—" "You're talking to keep me from talking," Frank said, as she paused for breath. Sheila stopped; dropped abashed eyes. "I suppose I am." There was a silence. "One thing I came to tell you was," Frank began, "that Bernadette sailed for Italy last night." "Oh?" "She and her brother have been planning it for years, and — our plans," Frank hesitated, "sort of knocked it in the head. They were delighted to go. She was laughing —honestly. I went down to the boat, and she was—I've never seen Bette so gay. She said to me, "This is more fun than our engage- ment party, Frank!" "She didn't?" "Yes, she did. I think-shefelt re- ,. lieved," Frank persisted. "But, it wouldn't have mattered," he said, after a silence. "It wouldn't —it couldn't—have nattered how she felt, because I—I couldn't have gone on with it." Sheila said nothing. "I knew it," Frank went on, "on Palm Sunday. I knew—why Berna- dette and I could wait five years to get married., I knew that if you can wait at all there's something wrong. You were smart enough to know that —I wasn't." "I?" Sheila asked thickly. "Yes—you told me that." She had been sitting on an .old kitchen chair with a rodded back; now Frank drew near it the box on which Angela had been sitting, and sat down and laid one hand on her own locked hands, on her knee. "It's—that way—with me," he said, Sheila raised thick eyelashes, with a little effort, and looked at him. "The world's split in two for me," the man said, as she made no effort to reply, but continued to look at him steadily through the black fringe of her lashes. "They're all laughing at me at hone; I don't care. I want to tell everyone I meet about you. I can't eat; I'm crazy. And it isn't only you, Sheila, it's everything. One of the fellows in the office is just married, and I was talking to him yesterday and thinking what a miracle it must be to gb home to your wife—" "1 know—" Si1:la said in the IN PACKAGES 10c POUCHES 1$C TINS 70c Holland to Have Gay Celebra : n Greatest National Occasi rpt Year When Queen Oise , Parliament Queen Wilhelmina ()pons tits sew session of the Netherlands Parl ent on Sent. 21, driving to and fro ;the historic Hall of the Knights i,ythe golden coach, one of" the most tge- ous of all the.

Dealers were shipping carload lotsas growers rushed sales. This year's price is due to the fact that the crop is only 50 per cent. normal because of excess rainfall. Many onion marshes were completely inundated. A large percentage of this year's seed onions are small No. l's, and it was for these that grow- ers were receiving the $2 price. Last year when the crop was ex- cellent xcellent growers took as little as '75 ' cents. Fear Was expressed that the desire to unload would flood the market and force the price down. Child, 15 Months Drowned in Pail SPRINGHILL , N.S. — Stephany Mills, 15 -months -old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Mills, Springhill, was found drowned in a pail of water in the yard of her home this week. The child had been out of s:ght of her mother for only a few minutes. Mrs. Mills said she had noticed the girl playing with an apple floating in the pail. It was believed she fell head first into the water while at- tempting to reach the apple. Attempts to revive the child were unsuccessful.

They "See Double" At Twin Convention 3,000 Twins of All Ages Assemble For Sixth Consecutive Year FORT WAYNE, Ind. - This city "saw double" literally this week -end when approximately 3,000 twins — ranging from squealing baby "look- alikes" to those with white hair, or bald heads—came here from at least 13 states for the sixth annual conven- tion of the National Twins' Associa- tion. Edward M. Clink, of Silver Lake, Ind., president, predicted this year's festival of fun would draw "the larg- est number of twins ever to assemble at one time." Fort Wayne alone had 600 twins on hand to be hosts and hostesses. Clink pointed out "no serious mat- ters" were settled at the convention, but the sessions'were "re-uhions at which the twins could compare notes and each other." On Sunday morning a general get- together was staged in an amusement park. Prizes were awarded during the ) day to the most attractive twins, the most identical girls' over 12, most identical girls under 12, most unlike twins, most twins in one family, most identical boys under and over 12, youngest twins and the oldest twins. Last year the Clark family, of Zan- l esville, Ind., sent four sets of twins to j the convention to capture first prize. 1' Last year's oldest twins were 83 years and the youngest, four weeks. Clink said there are approximately ► 4,000,000 twins in the United States.; He quoted figures stating that twins occur once in every 63 births in this country. ► ' The world average," he pointed out, "is one set of twins in 85 births. In a study of 717,007 births of twins, ► it was found that out of every 1,000. of these births, 305 were twin girls; 327, twin boys, and 368, .a girl and boy s twin." The birth rate of twins is higliei- in' colder countries than in tropic coun- tries, he said. LIGHTER THAN ALUMINUM!! STRONGER THAN STEEL!!
