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.
"This Is my little Rtrl," was what
Fanny Raid. Tho tone o( her voice,
her snillo, her radiant henrluc, snltl.
"Isn't she a dnrllng? Isn't sho the
sweetest, dearest, cleverest, most
beautiful, adorable, dimming child
you ever saw?" Mr. Hlrshhcrg pal
ted Sheila on tho head, presented
her with a dollar, granted Fanny

Sholln's heart had ached hotly nl
tho thought of her mother working
for a living, but now slio decided
that work Hint meant dressing no
overy day In a succession ot bcaui'
ful costumes was something alio
gethcr delightful.
' "Docs Mr. Illrshlierg make dross

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

They had a feverishly happy jiorn

them you were out of town and
slammed the door in their faces, but
they had the Impudence not to be

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

"Thank you. We were about in

.Mr. Phlllirlrk was tired' anil

"I'm afraid we'll havo lo go

young lady probably doesn't realize

caused: hut I think I can assure her
Hint they'll he loo glad to have her

"I'll leave my presonts." said
Sheila loudly, "until 1 come back."
