Zurich Herald, 1937-09-02, Page 2Orange Pekoe Blend Ift? ro-a-o-3-c-a•cw•o• By KATHLEEN NORRIS Synopsis for Preceding InataImee.,e; Kidnapped by gangsters, then re- leased (after spending two nights im- prisoned in a deserted farmhouse), Sheila Carscadden and Peter McCann, son of a prominent New York jurist, found themselves in a strange predic- ament. 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 ' i 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 Carscadclen families. Bursting into tears, Sheila asked: "Joe, you belie•e' • diln't you?" Sheila's job virus nut inuch of a job, to be sure, nor was she to be needed until May .first. But itwas near; it was in' the .department store over un - dor the elevated road, five, blocks sway; and she could walk to and fro, :' tl ,• the: fifteen a Wk was almost :s'i're:+•-�,., E7?, -;1..? r- T•�- ,,... a.. ,. main •entrance in ri-•S r.t..of 11,ttl5 pub• pit, and tell arriving customers where everything in the store 'teas to be found. A small, heavy brass triangle would stand near her hand, and print- ed on it would be "Miss 'Carscadden has been chosen because of her ex- ceptional courtesy and efficiency. It will give her r^ul pleasure to help you." "The place is f::.1 of that sort of bunk, but who cares? I don't care what they think about me," Sheila had said, indulgently, upon reporting this fact. "I'm reformed, anyway," she had added. "I'm all for citizen- ship and helpful house spirit — I'm going in for character building, clean finger nails, and a low, rich voice." "The pip-squeak who hires and fires," Sheila had further volunteered, on the particular Saturday morning when she had washed her hair, "ask- ed me what my real reason for com- ing into Bibberly's was, and if I had any secret ambition. I told him that all my life long I had been studying department stores, comparing them with one another and analyzing them, and that Bibberly's had appealed to me as being the most interesting, in its house system and store spirit, that I had ever seen. I said that I thought, great as the store is, that it has a still greater future, and that I wanted to be a part of it!" Angela, half -convinced by Sheila's serious manner; regarded her sister in surprise at this revelation, but ' Mrs. Carscadden was not deceived. "You never heard of the place be- fore you walked in there an' ast thio for a job!" "He knew that," Sheila conceded.

"Ma—" Sheila had pleaded, and it was then that she had added, while she spread and tossed her blazing hair, "I never told you and Angela what really happened, Ma." "An' God preserve me that you Ivor wud!" her mother said simply. "There's niver a breath of blame cucl be said against ye, but we'll all be up in the Death Row itself if iver ye get another chance to do. good to somebody, or get yourself out of somethin'!" "You wrong me," Sheila said, mani- curing a pretty fingernail with her scissors, and holding up her hand to study it in the light. "I didn't wrong ye enough wit' a slipper .over me knee, whin. I had a chanst!" her mother responded. "An' it'll be held again me on the Day of Judgment!" "Ma, if they're hard on you, I'll stand up for you!" Sheila assured her warmly. Her mother, from above the cold joint of lamb she was expertly cutting up for a stew, eyedher sus- piciously. "You'll stand up for me whin?" "On the Day of Judgment, dear!" "I'll judgment you!" was the out- raged matron's only reply. "Now, on Palm Sunday afternoon, "Sheila continued pleasantly, "what harm did it do me to drive to a police station with Peter and Judge McCann, make a short statement, and have Judge McCann give me a dollar for my taxi home? I stayed in the taxi," Sheila added, in reminiscent tones, "Until it said thirty cents, then I gave him a ten -dent tip, jumped into •the subway, and made fifty-five cents on i 4ire-7u T —_ ......

"Peter and Gertrude'Keene are get - ,ting married next fall, Ma; that's all the trouble amounted to there." "Yes, an' what about the other poor "I'4=a mean Flunk?" Sheila asked dreamily. The name sounded like music on her lips. "I don't know—" she admitted slowly. "Whin did ye see him?" the mother demanded suspiciously. "Mother, I give you my word I have not seen him since that Palm Sunday — nearly three weeks ago." "But he writes ye?" "I haveut's had a letter from kiln, honestly." "Do you write him, Sheila?" "No, and I haven't telephoned him. Honestly, Ma." Mrs. Carscadden was still dissatis- fied. "Yu're wastin' yure time thinkin' about him, Sheila." Sheila fenced. "How do you know I'm thinking all about him?" "Wit' a nice young lady like Miss Kennedy, why wed he cast his eye about for a better?" "Why. — why, indeed?" Sheila agreed mildly, clearing her throat. "An' you meanwhile breakin' yure hear'rt. I know why yu're actin' like you do!" Mrs. Carscadden, with an air of clinching the argument, said. She got up and carried her bowl and platter to the kitchen. "Sheila Carscadden,"' Angela said instantly, when they were alone, "you had a wire this morning." - IN ., PACKAGES 10c POUCHES 15c x -lb.

Canadian Entries At Imperial Fruit Show Canada has always;taken a prom- inent part in the Imperial Fruit Show which is rightly regarded as the pre- eminent exhibition of fruit grown in. the British Empire. Year by year Canada has won many of the coveted prizes, including the John Howard Silver Challenge Cup of the British Empire sect'on.' This trophy was re- cently lost to Canada and therefore is now availableto be returned `'to a Canadian exhibitor. The 1937 Imperial Fruit Show and. Canners' Exhibition, to give it its full title, is to be held at Bingley Hall, Birmingham, England, from October 20th to 28th. Several new introductions -in the competitions have been made for the 1937 Show, but the principal one af- fecting Canadian exhibitors is Sec- tion A of the apple packing competi- tion, open to packers in any part of the British Empire. This is where Canadian fruitpackers, whose wont' has 'been admired the world over; ought to shine.' Other changes made in the interests of competitors are the substitution of hamper and half- barrel for the barrel in certain clas- ses of the Canadian Championship section, and the entry fee hi the Brit- ish Empire section has been reduced to £1 ($5) instead of :ir2, ($10) as formerly. However that may be, Ca- nadian competitors are'reminded that although October- 20 is .the official opening date for the Imperial Fruit Show, the dead line for Canadian entries is September 6. Voyages Of A Buoy Circum - Atlantic voyagings of a drifting buoy are described by Tass, on the basis of calculations of Rus- sian oceanographers. A wooden buoy was picked up recently in the Bay of Biscay. It was identified as one set adrift in the Laptey Sea, in the Arc- tic, five years ago. To reach the Bay of Biscay it had to drift on currents that carried it first north of Franz- Josef Land, then past the southern end of Greenland and on the Labra- dor current to a point off Newfound- land. Thence it was carried across by the North Atlantic current to the Bay of B:scay. The total voyage is calculated at 8,060 mi'es, To train for Dominion Government Certificate in AVIATION and MARINE RADIO OPERATING. Two years high school desirable; Previous experience not essential.
