During a secret meeting, the boy confessed the truth: he was engaged to an- other girl, Gertrude Keane. The library (their secret meeting place) was locked for the night when they went to leave While endeavoring to escape, two men suddenly ap- pear. rhey force Sheila and Peter into an automobile, and drove them to a farmhouse in Northern Con- necticut. Ken, one of a gang of bootleggers, explains it is necessary to hold them temporarily. On the third day, Sheila and Peter are re- leased. ' When Sheila reaches home her mother and sister do not believe her story. "Sheila they're such lovely people, the McCanns," Angela burst out. "Mrs. McCann came to see Ma on Saturday, and she was so sweet, and she said such lovely things of you, and she told us all about her ward's —tl at's Gertrude—getting married to Peter—they were so happy about it! They were going to have a nup- tia; mass and everything!" "Well, what of it?" Sheila chal- Ienged her defiantly. ' Oh, well. Sheila, how can they, now! "Why can't they??" "You know full well," said her mother. "WelI, I must say I think this is wonderful!" Sheila said desperate- ly.' "I never heard anything like it! I wish now that I hadn't come home. I couldn't wait to get here—I thought you'd be so worried — I didn't even want to stop at the po- lia1 " ace station! That's all we needed, .Mrs. Carscad 'en a -• d d x claimed, her eyes raised. "For heaven's sake, Sheila, what did you go to a police station for?" "To report the bootleggers, of course." "What business was that of yours?" Mrs. Carscadden demanded unsympathetically. "You'd do much better to nape out of police stations as things are." "Well, if I don't think I'm in a bad dream!" Sheila said. "The McCanns reported it to the police," her sister said. "The McCanns did!" "Yes, they were so worried about Peter. He had half a dozen appoint- ments for Saturday and he didn't keep one of them. And there was a big party Saturday night—" "Well, wherever it was. And when he didn't get home to dress for that they all got perfectly crazy and they telephoned around everywhere. And at about ten o'clock Mr. Frank Mc- Cann came out here." "Frank McCann did!" "Yes. Because it seems that Peter told his mother and Gertrude that lie had known you up at Til- ler's Beach last summer, and he had even talked to them about you after he got home--" "And we didn't know anything, of course, except that you weren't at home. Ma didn't take her clothes off that night—did you, Ma?" "I did not," said Ma. "Mrs. McCann tallied to Ma on Saturday afternoon about our maybe living over in Astoria or somewhere, where Ma could have vegetables and everything 1" Angela lamented.

She seemed so dif- ferent yesterday, so sad and quiet, and she'd been crying, and he look- ed as if he had been, too, and every- thing was terrible—Joe got so mad —and he stood up for you—" "Yesterday! Did Mrs. MCann come here twice?" "She came Saturday.. And then Mr. Frank McCann carne Saturday night, and he and Joe went round to the police station—" "They didn't have much to do !" Sheila observed bitterly. "Well, and then yesterday—Sun- day—Father Rector carne to see Ma, and Marg'ret and Louis came, and Aunt Sarah , and Ma had to have smelling salts, didn't you, Ma?" "I did that." "And Ma didn't take her clothes off Saturday night, nor last night, did you, Ma?" "I did not." "Well," Sheila said with irony, "you all had a swell time." "You wouldn't think it was so funny, Sheila Garscadden," Angela reproached her, "if you could have known bow we all felt!" "Well," Sheila said, with a hard Iittle laugh, "it seems that you must not let yourself get kidnapped by bootleggers these days." "Gertrude Keane has been ter- ribly sick," Angela went on in the accusing, tender tone she had used all through the conversation, "she's simply prostrated--" • Her brother, Joe, came quietly in; she was in his arms, crying and laughing. "Joe, Joe, you•re not against me, are you?" He looked worried and serious. "Of course Pll stand to you, dear. But—my God, what you've put us througn, Sheila!" "Frank McCann and I gave the marriage to" the palters this noon, Ma," he said, sighing. "It seemed the best way. Even Judge McCann advised it—though it broke his heart." "District attorney and all?" the mother demanded fearfully. "Everything. It was a justice of the peace, Mr." "What" marriage?" SheiIa ex- claimed, very white. "Yours. dear. It was the only way—" "But, Joe—Joe—we're not mar- ried!" earried!" "Not t'y the church, no. But you will be—" "Joe, Mamma and Angela won't believe me! But you'll believe me! Peter McCann and I didn't run away --we had no intention of running away, we never thought of it! We'd known each other at TilIer's Beach last sununer—" "I know. dear. And Angela told us that you'd liked him and talk- ed about---" "Listen, Joe! We were kidnapped. Kidnapped by bootleggers. "Wait a minute." Joe said, im- pressed in spits of himself by her desperate earnestness. "Begin at the beginning, Sheila. Where did you and Peter Mc:tnn meet on Sat- urday?" . Sheila gulped. "At a law 1il'rary on Broadway, Joe!" "And what did you go there for?" "Well, we anted to see each other, Joe. You see, when I went to give back the blue purse—and I lost it, Ma; bee my money's here safe, 1 left it home! Well, and then, Joe, when I went to the Mc - Canna', to give back the money, I got myself up like a beggar, remem- ber —so that they'd feel sorry for me, see? Wel'., it seems that this Gertrude Keane, whose purse it was. is a ward of the McCanns—her father and mother died when she was little, and elm grew up with the McCanns. And Peter McCann was right there—and 1 hadn't seen him since Tiller's Beach because he had lost my address but I didn't knew that—" "Ary then the next time you meet him it's four days before his mar- riage to another girl?"

The standard idea didn't start with th ' overnment, but with the hosiery industry, which decided to take the strain off stockings and garter.

Doctor Suggests Holiday In Bed Says There Are Thousands of People Who Don't Get Their Sleep Dr. Alfred Cox, general secretary of the London Health Resorts Asso- ciation, does not agree with the pre- sent distribution of holidays. Speaking at the Institute of Hy- giene on "Holidays in Winter," he said that the manwho had to do ne- cessary, dangerous, or disagreeable work, ought logically, to have the longest spell of holidays. The idle rich, who had done nothing to earn a holiday, ought either to be compelled to go on "killing time" or, perhaps, better still, be given a job of really hard work. Dr. Cox advocated a holiday in bed. There were a good many thousands of people who never got sufficient sleep, he said.
