THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAYS 3 RUST 9, 1932 by KATHLEEN NORRIS In love with Peter McCann, son of McCann, noted New York jurist, Carscadden, learned from the: own lips that he loved her but: another girl, Gertrude' were married, her family was shocked and she became very angry. She had Just declared she would leave home for-: ever when Frank McCann , Peter's older, , appeared. He quieted Shella, explaining that he and Joe had given a marriage announcement to the news- papers as the best way out of a diffi. cult situation. The next day, which was St. Patrick's Day, Jutge and Mrs, MeCann proposed that Peter and Sheila marry. "And admit we were lying!" ella exclaimed angrily hurrying the McCann home. As she was si an ply t b she, stopped to read of the positions offered.' INSTALMENT XX Bheila stood reading these cards, P~r breast smoldering. They were all against her, the McCanns, and' Joe, and Ma. Everyone. Even Frank had smiled as he handed her: over to Peter--to Peter, who had departed from Sheila's dreams for- ever, who was less to her now than that casual clerk "fr'm the office," who had been waiting for "Misther Frank," in the McCanns' hallway. "It wouldn't be open on a holi- day," Shella reflected, looking up ithe dark, uninviting stairway that Jurched toward "Mrs, O'Connor's 'Famous Employment Bureau." "Here's what'll decide it," she said aloud. "If it's open, T'll try it! And {if I don't want to do it, I can back out. And anyway, I'd have to go 'home for my clothes, and probab- dy Ma and Joe'd be home, and ithey'd not let me go. But if I get away this time, it's for good!" She mounted the crazy stairway and laid her hand on the knoo of the glass-paneled doorway that in- dicated O'Coanor's. The knob turned, the door opened, and Sheila found herself alone in a shabby, spacious office, with a kindly-look- ing woman of fifty, whose face in- stantly told her that if this was not Mrs, O'Connor, at least it might be. "I want a job!" Sheila said, going in. Mrs. O'Connor proved to be an alfectionate and encouraging per- son. "Now, I'll tell you, dear," she said to Sheila. "What did you say your [name was?" "Mary Moore." "Tl tell you, Mary. I don't often [keep open on holidays, but 1've a rush order I couldn't do nothing with yesterday, and I've had to put it into today. There's a federation lof business clubs meeting at At- [lantic City this week, and every place down there is full. You've igot a reference, dearie, from some- one that knows you. your teacher, ior the parish priest?" "I can get it." "Get it, then. And take the fourso'clock to Atlantic City--youll get your fare and your lunch money back. Go to the Pendergast Inn. It's not on the broadwalk, it's a block back, but it's finer than many wf the waterfront places. Go there 'and ask for Mrs. Kearney; she's the housekeeper. She's a lovely won.un. I've sent her help these twenty years, "It's only fourteen dollars," Mrs. 10'Connor continued hardily. "What jof it? It's something, these times, isn't it, with everything found. | Everything found. Everything {found, think of it. Now you owe me six dollars.......pay me when you like. Some of the girls pay half ithis week and half the next. {There's another convention going down soon. She told me there wasa Imonth in it, surely. And then {tT ibe almost May, what do you know {about that? You could easy stay, son, right into the season. The. sea-; sen's getting earlier every year." She was making entries with a; { ifat soft hand, in a big book. She: isaid she would pay hall "That's entirely satisfactory to yme," Mrs, O'Connor told her, am- isbly, "They want nice, quiet-look- Ying girls, and theyll like you. I suppose you haven't a sister or a cousin who'd like to go with you? | It's quite a lark, the girls say." | "No, I haven't' Sheila said, And | to herself she added, when she was; | in the quiet, snowy street again, "Ii| very likely won't go myself!" ~ Bhe went home, and found the! {three dreary rooms of the Bronx | {apartment empty and dark.

To be sure, she had given Mrs. O'Connor three dollars, but then: 'what were three dollars in a crisis like this? The thought of the money reminded Sheila of her pre- clous fifty dollars, and she took it out of the drawer of the kitchen le, to look at it lovingly. She put: wo bills. back again, crying harder 'than ever, Ma should have them, Ma hadn't had forty dellars very | often in life, Less than an hour later, turning into their street, and supporting his emotionally exhausted mother with a firm arm, Joe Carscadden said suddenly: "Did you see that girl across the Street, Ma?" "I saw nobody." + "I guess I'm seeing Sheila every- Joe all but Ag short in his slow pacing, to give his mother an astounded glance, "Why shud she marry 'im if she doesn't want to!" Mrs, Oarscadden pursued valiantly, "There's as good Jen in the say as that one iver wud "Well, honest, Ma--" Joe began. Snowflakes were lightly powder- ing the shabby old widow's veil that Mrs. Carscadden had worn for ale most eighteen years; she stopped in the street, and faced her son. "I don5't know what they think she done," pursued the mother, "but there isnt' a bad bone in her!" "But, Ma, the way you talked--" "Joe, you'd never belave that of la!" "1 don't know what they think "I sorter thought Sheila'd want to marry him, and he wouldn't want to marry her. I'm all mixed up!" "Me hear'rt went out to her, the little bould-faced colleen," Mrs. Carscadden said fondly, "They were all agin her, an' she faced them down an' "outwitted the lot of them!" "But, Ma, you didn't part then!" "I blame meself that I didn't, then,' Mrs. Carscadden said, walk- take her ing on. "You have to hand it to her for this," Joe said. "His having money didn't matter two cents to her! She didn't want him, and that was all there was to it." "It speaks weil for her, it does 80," said her mother. "I thought it did!" "There's few ger'rls wouldn't jump at a lad that has all he has." "I'll tell the world there are!' "But you'd not get Sheila to in- thrigue for 'um, just because he was a rich mans' son." "I'll swear I felt sorry for her!" Joe said suddenly, as they entered the dark, odorous doorway of home. "She seemed so alone, poor kid, there in that big room, with every cne of us riding her." "They had me so twisted sbout, Joe," Mrs. Carscadden said confid- entially, arresting him on the long stairs, "I didn't know what they were after. Did they want her to marry 'um, or didn't they?" "I think they thought Peter had got her into something, and the only decent thing for him to do was stand by her." "But you don't think so, Joe?' his mother asked seriously. "No." He hesitated. "Of course, at first I thought she and Peter were just stringing us," he confes- sed, "and then all of a sudden while we were there it came over me that she was telling the truth.' "I hope she's not mad at us," Mrs. Carscadden murmured fearfully at the door, "Sheila? Oh, she never siays mad," he said comfortably. "I'll make her a batch of muffins for supper; she likes them!" the woman decided. "It scalds me that she told me yesterda', Joe," she added, "that she'd been cookin' a pot-roast, an' I never. said anything to her about it!" "You certainly rode her!" Joe sald, stooping to grope for the door. knob in the dark. "Not any more than the rest of you," the mother protested uncom- fortably, "Look how Lizzie done!" "Yes, but 8heila only minded it from you, Ma." "Oh, Joe," Mrs. Carscadden sald, pathetically, "don't say that, dear"r!' "Why, you know dammed well how 'Sheila feels when she thinks' you're off her, Ma, It's locked; she's not home!" Joe said blankly, of the door. "Joe, she must be home!" "She's not. She couldn't lock herself in, could she?" Joe asked, producing the key from its usual hiding place on the top of the door jamb, "Oh, God forgive us, Joe, where would she ba!" | "Maybe she went to Marg'ret's." | "She'd not do that, Joe, She was droppin' with the fatigue that was on her!" "She'll be back,' 'Joe said, unx- ously. His mother made no answer. Joe heard her whispering prayers as they went into the dark empty rooms together, Sheila wore an alpaca uniform that had belonged to some girl who had basely deserted the Pendergast Hotel the season before, and a white organdie ajvon and butter- fly cap. She slept in a long loft ror ahova the garage where there were six beds. At one end of the room was a washroom with a snow- er and two tin basins, and above the basins was hung a card of printed rules for all the chamber- maids and waitresses at the hotel. The must wear fresh tniforms daily, bathe daily, wear haii-nets end manicure at least once daily. "Does anyone?" Sheila asked Nelly, the girl who had showed her where things were and what she must, do. " Nelly merely laughed disagree ably, Never the world had there ever béen contempt more stinging, biting, complete than tyat Nelly felt for everything connected with the Pendergast Hotel. Nelly's fav- orite comment upon Sheila's inno- cence ad ignorance was a scorn- ful smiie, and Sheila came to the int when she could anticipate smile, and avoid it. Sheila only asked questions the first day. After that she was tos tired fo be interested in any thing. Her feet burned, her ankles ached, 'and she told Nelly that her spine ¥ was like a rope with redhot knots it. iv A ' (To be continued.)

The young Chuck who had wan- dered from home and been saved from Flip the Terrier by his own father, Johnny Chuck, had had a complete change of opinion. His father, whose advice he had scorn- ed so short a time before, was now a hero in his eyes and he wanted to be just like him, He copied Johnny in everything he did. He tried to walk like him, sit up like him, run like hini. In short, he imi- tated Johnny Chuck as closely as he could. It was funny to see him. Every thing that Johnny did was exactly right in the eyes of this young son of his, "Don't you think you better go home to vour mother now?" asked Johnny after the young Chuck was safely in the old stonewall, "No", replied the young Chuck, "I'l find a place here in this old wall and stay here if you don't mind, I've left home for good." "I'm glad it's for good and not for ill," replied Johnny, "Time will tell. But I can tell you one thing, and that it won't be for good unless you make it so. Never think you know all there is to know." "You know all there is to know, don't you?" asked the young chuck. "Me?" cried Johnny. "I shouid say not! Why there isn't a day passes that I don't learn something, And .1 hope there never will be. Whoever thinks he knows it all is just fixing' to get in a heap of trouble. Don't forget that, son, Furthermore, he isn't going to live long. Remember that, too." "Yes, sir," said the young Chuck. He dug himself a hole down un- der the old wall It wasn't very deep or very much of a hole, but it didn't need to be for you see it was so well protected by the stones of the old wall. But being all his own it was wonderful to the young Chuck and gave him a fine feeling of importance. He felt that he real- ly was out in the Great World. One morning he poked his head out to be greeted with a sharp "Good morning, cousin." A small, bright-eyed person in a striped coat was watching him from the top of the stones of the old wall, "Did you speak to me?" in- quired the young Chuck somewhat pertly, "You are the only relative in sight," replied the small person. MI don't know you," replied the | He was so much bigger than the | He's a MAN in the making! How proud you are of him! How carefully you safe- guard his food, his rest, his play--for you want him to grow up the healthiest boy in the land. Of course, you worry when he doesn't want to eat.

"Why did you call me cousin?" denianded the young Chuck. "You certainly don't belong to the Chuck family." . "Quite right. Quite right," re- plied Striped Chipmunk. "But that doesn't prevent you belonging to the Squirrel family, or at least be- ing very closely related to it. So I called you cousin. At least I am the nearest to a relative that you have in these parts." The young Chuck stared very hard at Striped Chipmunk, "I don't believe you," said he. "Tut, tut, tut, young fellow! That is no way to speak to your elders," retorted Striped Chipmunk. "You have a lot to learn and one of the first things is that it doesn't pay to be impolite. You need to be taught manners, young fellow. You need to be taught manners." Just then Johnny Chuck poked his head out from his hole. "What is going on here" he denmaded, "You should teach this son of yours manners," replied Striped Chipmunk, "He refuses to believe me when I say that we are rala- tives." "He is young and has much to learn. Of course, we are distantly related," was Johnny's response, (Copyright, 1932, T.
