A' year later Sheila, now 11, leaves home ostensibly to visit a friend in the country, but fails to arrive. Chapter 31 STOLEN HAPPINESS WHEN Fanny came home from work late Saturday afternoon the janitor's wife was waiting for her. It was evident that Mrs. Mur phy was bursting with excitement. "There's a grand surprise waitln' for ye," ehe said. 'By the glow from the red coals In the shining grate Fanny saw that someone was sitting In her big chair. It was a little girl, asleep. It couldn't be, It couldn't be it was Sbolla. Sheila stirred and raised her head. "I got away. You don't mind?" was her anxious greeting. ' . "I got away;' do you mind?" was Sheila's anxious greet- j'.. 'Jug. .--.'-. ft ;" 'Mind? My darling, my darling!" Sheila explained how chance had made It possible for her to have a tew days without being missed; how she had left the local traij at the Junction and hidden In the wait ing room until time for the New York express. Though they slept late next morn ing, there was no hurrying through breakfast, no thought, indeed, of anything except to enjoy them selves. It was a day of raptures. First eame Mrs. Murphy, while they were still In bed, to make u the fire and Inqtilro whether Mr. Mur phy shouldn't be sent alter delica cies In honor ot their visitor. "That's an Inspiration," cried Fanny. "Tell Mr. Murphy to get a Hunan hadoie. Do you like flunan liadille, Sheila blossedest?" Sheila did. She also liked strawberry lain, English mufflns, honeydew melon. "Anything else?" Inquired Fanny anxiously. "1 tcouia like a cream pun', or a chocolato eclair," ventured Sheila. She had never boen consulted thus about her preferences In food, her grandmother being adamant about what was and was not suitable (or growing children. That afternoon they rode on a bus up Rlversldo Drive. In the eve ning a tall man, Mr. Wentworth, came, bringing Fnnny orchids. Sheila a bouquet with a paper frill. Monday morning Fanny took her daughter to tho placo where ehe worked and Introduced her to Mr. Hirsliberg and seven or eight ot the prettiest Indies Sheila had ever socn In hor life.

I've saved Quite a lot "BlessedesM" Fanny choked, squeezed Sheila's band. It was some time before she could explain that little girls had to do what tbelr fathers said. That was the law at least In this case. "But we could bide, couldn't we?" suggested Sheila. "They'd find ns your grand mother.. . . Darling, you lore your father, don't you?" ' "Yes, Mother. Of course I would go and visit Daddy occasionally, but I'd rather stay with you." She add ed firmly, "And I'm going to when I'm older. Is 14 old enough?" "Darling, you're made Mother so happy. I'll live on that hope.' But you'll have to finish school." "Well, Id then. And every time 1 get a chance I'll run off and come maybe this Christmas. Anyway the next one." That night Sheila was sick, ter rifically sick. But the worst was over in half an hour. Afterward she was allowed a comforting hot water bottle, instead of nasty hot wet tow els, nor was she scolded and told she should hare known that rich food would make her sick. . After a morning In bed and a diet of tea and toast, Sheila was able to take In a marionette show. They dined at home, went early to-bed The next day was Wednesday, the last day. They were both certain il was the last day, but by mutual con sent they avoided mentioning It They had a feverishly happy jiorn Ing shopping. Then they walked home hand In hand, their hearts too burdened .with the shadow of part log to, make talk possible. , .- In the front hall Mrs. Murphy wai again waitiug, this time her (ace portentously mournful. i "There's two men been here ask Ing for you," she burst out. "1 .old them you were out of town and slammed the door in their faces, but they had the Impudence not to be lieve me. They've been hanging around, watching the bouso the whole afternoon." It had come. The parting, the lit tle death, was upon them. They barely had time to remove their wraps and warm themselves at the tire Mrs. Murphy had kindled before she brought up a card - "It's your Cousin Edward," said Fanny. "Shall we let him come IIP?" . . , - , , "Yes." said Sheila viciously. "He hates to climb stairs." .Mr. Phlllirlrk. puffing and red (aced. greeted Fanny with his usual urbanity.

"This young lady probably doesn't realize the anxiety and distress she has caused: hut I think I can assure her Hint they'll he loo glad to have her hack to think of punishment." "I'll leave my presonts." said Sheila loudly, "until 1 come back." "Yes, darling," answered Fanny evenly. "I'll keep them until you eonie back." (CnpvIsM .!.
