THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 17, 1932 by KATHLEEN NORRIS | "It's a fortune to Ma." , "Then "some good did come oul 'of all this, didn't it?" "Sure--" she agreed, rather lHfe. \lessly. (To be continued) Kidnapped by gangsters, then re- eased (after spending two nigh risoned in a deserted farmhouse), ella Carscadden and Peter McCann, of a prominent New York jurist, 'ound themselves in a strange predic- lament. Their families that [they marry, regarding wild escapade, engaged another girl, Gertrude Keane, his fos- 'er-sister. In love with him for a ime, Shella no longer cared for him. or would she marry him. She ran away ' avold doing so. While she was rking as a in' an fim hotel, the newspapers printed col- about the disappearance of 'The stery Girl." Frank McCann, Pet- er's older brother, traced her and per- 'suaded her to fly back to New York with him. The plane crashed near Ne- wark, the pliot was killed and Frank and Sheila were injured. Frank badly. When Shella was reunited with her family--her widowed mother, her bro- ither Joe and her crippled younger sis- ter gela--she was distressed to find herself again the object of thinly- velled in the ne Meanwhile, at the McCann mansion, Frank was recovering from his injur- es. His flancee, Bernadette Kennedy, nable to accept Frank's reason seeing hella in Atlantic City, and divining t Frank loved Sheila, not her, had enounced him. About twp weeks lat- er, Sheila left' her home, while the family was absent, and started for the [McCann residence to see Frank, who had written to her in answer to a lit- jtle formal note she wrote. INSTALMENT XXVH "Maybe they won't let me see him!" Sheila thought. But she 'knew that Frank's father and moth- jer were away, they had gone to the big Charity Drive lunch--their names had been in the paper. And when Joe had telephoned this morning, to ask as usual for Frank, Mrs, McCann's voice, Joe said, 'had been quite ~heerful--Frank 'had been out yesterday, and had set up for supper with Miss Kennedy the night before, and she and the judge had no anxiety in leaving him today. Sheila anticipated no trouble, and sure enough, every- 'thing went smoothly. There had been something in Sheilas' spirit all day that had promised smooth- ness; she had had np doubts of what the outcome of today's ven- ture would be Mamie admitted her, and if there was any hesita- tion or doubt in her manner, She- ila did not see it. The girl, follow- ing her, walked straight through [the great spacious hall, and mount- 'ed the stairs, and crossed the upper hallways to the doorway of Frank's room, The door stood open; Sheila saw open windows, and pots and Jars of exquisite flowers, beyond. She began to tremble now, and felt as much like crying as smiling as she walked into the room. Mamie did not announce her, merely stood at the door. Frank was alone, dressed, seated in a great chair piled with pillows, his bandaged left arm strapped across his breast. Over his silk shirt he wore a loose blue silk coat; his hair was neatly brushed, be looked thin, and a little pale. As Sheila walked slowly to his !chair, her unsmiling eyes fixed on him, he glanced away from the window, and instantly a sort of magic seemed to be shimmering about her, and she felt hardly conscious of what she was doing. "Why, look who's here!" Frank said, with his broadest smile. "Well, I am glad to see you! How "are you? Sit down, sit down. No, pull your chair nearer. I'm all .@lopge" : = RL sat down, and looked at thim *~ "Do you know, I've been thinking + 'about you, and wanting to see ;'you?" Frank asked. And as she did not answer, he went on, "Funny thing, I was talking about you last " might. Bernadette was here--Miss Kennedy, you know-" "I know." Sheilla's voice was very * faint His nearness, the sight of ithe hard, blue-shaven jaw again, the flash of his white teeth, the < "half-smile in his Irish eyes, were too much for her. The tones of his voice made her heart feel as t4f it were melting wax. "I said to Bernadette that you mere the darnest kid I ever saw," Frank said. "I said I had the fun- niest feeling of --being responsible - for you!" "You told her that?" , "Bernadette, you know," Frank « jsaid, with a smile, "got a" wrought . fup about our flying together irom ,'Alantic City. What do you think .-of that? It doesn't seem a bit like ' 'her--seriously, I mean." "She--" Sheila cleared her throat. "She said something--that _ {day--" she began. | "The day of the accident?" "Yes. Down here, down here in e hall." "I gathered from something [Mother said, she did. But when I "was baater--when she and I had "had a talk, she got over it!" "Sure," Sheila said, "Sure", he echoed. He fell silent; smiling, unalarm- 'ed. Sheila sat silent, too, wrapped "In the luxury and beauty of the big, * 'old-fashioned room; enjoying without analyzing what she enjoy- "ed, the soft deep carpets, the flow- ers, the rich colors in lamps and 'books, curtains and bed draveries. '. "Is this your room, Frank?" J. "Nope. I'm up on the next floor; it's not so grand as this" {.. "Whose rooms was this?" "Well, this used to be an upstairs {sitting-room..

And after a minute he add- f He y t ed, "I don't believe that after five years of being engaged, you'd sus~ pect a man of anything, would you, Sheila?" "I wouldn't be engaged for five years," Sheila answered. "You wouldn't! Why, not?" "Because--""She was thinking it out. "Because I wouldn't want any man' to feel--sure of me, for five years," she formulated it slowly. There was a silence, "I don't think any man would!" Frank presently said, with a not quite natural laugh. And after a minute he added ceyly, "Fortun- ately for me, Bernadette doesn't agree with you. : "So you don't think you could be faithful to any man for five years?" he asked, as Sheila did not speak, "I didn't say that. I only meant that--if I loved a man,"I wouldn't want to wait five years to--to be his wife," Sheila answered simply. "You wouldn't want to be sure?" "I would be sure." Frank mused on this, watching her steadily. being "What would sure?" Sheila thought a while befote she answered, looking down, biting her full, red lower lip. "Dividing the world into two parts," she said, after a pause, "him--and the rest. Never going anywhere that you didn't hope to met him, never doing anything without thinking whether he'd like it or not. Hoping--hoping that everyone else would hate him--" "Hate him! Love Hm, you mean?" Frank ejaculated incred- ulously as she hestitated. "Hate him--so that you could| make it up to him by loving him all the more," she said. Frank could only stare at her. "I don't. love Bernadette like that; I'm glad when anyone else, admires her," he finally observed.' "And she feels the same way about me." "Then you're different," commented mildly. "How do you know that love is like that?" Frank demanded. "It is for me.' "It would be for you?" "It is. Her head was singing: she felt her hands cold and wet, A silence, "You mean--Peter?" Frank asked respectfully. "Peter!" throat. said. "You mean you don't love Pet- er any more?" "I never did. We just had a--a case," the girl explained, "and he promised he'd come to see me, and he didn't come, and that made me mad-- I thought more about him than if he had, maybe. But Peter's only--a boy," Sheila concluded with a smile. "He's older than you are." "To this the girl made no answ- you call Sheila Sheila "No, Not her she cleared Peter', er. "Well, come on--" Frank said encouragingly. "You've only made half a confession! If it isn't Pete, who is it?" "Peter was the--the first gentle man I'd ever known, "Sheila, in- stead of answering, said hurriedly and nervously. "I liked him, for that." i "So much so that hs didn't keep his word to you?" "He lost my address." "And forgot your name?" "I forgot his' the girl said hon- estly, laughing.

And for a long time neither could seem to find anything further to say. "It must sound--kind of flat--for' me to say that I like you--awfully, more than any--any girl your age I ever knew," Frank presently ven! tured, with an awkward laugh, "No, I'm glad," Sheila responded very simply and honestly. She looked up at him, looked down again. She was young, al- most childish--looking in the big chair, with her blue hat curving off her face like a baby's cap, and her coppery film of hair almost in her blue eyes. "My father says vou're moving to Astoria, "Prank said. "Next month." N "Will you be glad, Sheila?" "Glad! she echoed. "Angela and Ill have a room to ourselves!" "Oh, and where'll Joe be?" "Joe and Ceely want to get mar- ried." "Ah, and now they can? "Your father told Ma that {f she'd keep the eight houses rented for him she wouldn't have to vay any rent; she'd get paid. herself."
