UTAH Havana's Old Towns Now Enjrlanders love their oH towns, but when they want lome-thin- g older and cannot jro to Europe, they take a cruise to Havana which was In the West Indies a hundred years before the Mayflower landed at Plymouth. flliFil f , Kathleen Norris ' Q KATHLEEN NOSSIS-W- NU SEJiVia Her frightened eyes moved behind him, as the door through which she and Ken had emerged opened again, and Inky and an unknown man came out, with Peter between. Peter ap-peared to be stumbling, heavyper-haps his hurt leg was bothering him again. They started. Sheila heard Peter snoring in the back seat. Snow flut-tered down, down, down upon the black city streets and the shining wet tracks under the elevated road and the garbage cans aligned before the humble tenement doorways. She knew It was Peter snoring, because Inky was perched upon one of the small seats, his breath, heavy with garlic and wine, at her ear. "Now you and me have got to be talking," Ken said. "Because if any-one stops us, I'm taking you up to your mother in White Plains." "In the Bronx." she corrected. "Oh, you ain't going home yet," he said. "But don't you worry you'll get there. Nothing's going to happen to you." TTIE STORY THUS FAR Sheila Carscadden. .

Escape seems that was not healthy, there was men-ace in their very presence, and Pe-ter knew, as Sheila had known (or some time, that the night's perils were not over. His voice died away into silence and his face took on a strange pallor. "This ain't your wife, then?" Ken asked. "No, sir. That's what I was tell-ing you," Peter said. "I'm to be married on Tuesday to to another girl. That's why I'd be so much obliged if you'd let me telephone." The men glanced at each other. "No rush," Ken observed mildly. "I'm afraid my mother will be worried, it's getting on to eight o'clock!" Sheila exclaimed anxious-ly. And the sudden thought of that comforting and protecting mother, Her love and tenderness, brought CHAPTER VI Continued tears to the girl's eyes. Pheila rushed to the window and screamed into the blackness, the whiteness, outside. Nothing could be seen. Talking to herself, mut-tering frantically, Sheila turned back into the room and extinguished the light This done, looking down, she could see the dim, white expanse of the roof below and see, against the grayish-white- , something black pros-trate. "Only not to pull nothing," Inky said persuasively, at her ear. "I wouldn't know how to pull any-thing!" Sheila said simply. "No. you just do like I ask you to," Ken observed encouragingly, "and you'll be all right." "That was an awful smart thing you did. Ken, about that Boston stuff," Inky presently observed. "It may work," he said briefly. "Work! It's gotta work," the other man said. "Pipe the bulls there!" he added. "Now listen," Ken said sharply to Sheila, in a quickened voice. "You don't know anything. You're going up to see your sick mother . , ." They had left the city and were on one of the long lonely roads that skirt the eastern bank of the Hud-son. Sheila, looking ahead, saw a police-bo- x in the pink flutter of snow against lights, and two caped men standing there. i flooring and could see the sign lights flaming and fading still through a high skylight "There must be don't bump your- self there, Peter!-th- ere, Petcrl-th- ere must be lamps" Sheila's groping wet gloves found one as she spoke; the room broke into dim light They were in a studio; Sheila had never seen one before, except in movies, but she knew it at once-recog- nized the easel and the unfin-ished canvases as well as the more familiar tables and couches and chairs. The room appeared to be quite empty. Ken shifted a cigar on his rather full underlip. "Listen, Sister," he remarked, carelessly, "you've got no call to look so scared!" It was not much, but it was ex-quisite balm to Sheila. She man-aged a rather white smile. "Thank you!" she said. "You give me your name," Ken directed, drawing a piece of paper toward him across the table and taking a fountain pen from his pock-et "and I'll let your folks know. But you'll be home pretty soon," he added comfortably. "Come on, let's get going," Ken said. He glanced at Peter and Shei-la, standing bewildered and fearful together. "Nothing'll happen to you," he told them scornfully, care-lessly. "But you busted in here. "Oh, my God, he's killed him-self!" Sheila whispered. "Oh. God. help him!" And leaning out, she shouted, "Peter!" Her voice was muffled in the snow, but the wind was not so high now, although the flakes were tailing thicker and faster. "Peter!" she cried again, In ag-ony. Oh, he would die there, with no one to help him. And she couldn't get down! She was back at the win-dow again. Peter was groaning fee-bly. "Oh, God, help us toth, get us out Of this!" "Look for a telephone, quickl" Pe-ter directed, stuffing his cap and his gloves Into a coat pocket, and fling-ing the coat itself over a chair. "I'll be home before I could tele-phone Mama; we have to call the corner drug store," Sheila had be-gun to say, when the lock of the studio door clicked and they both whirled about guiltily to face who-ever was about to enter. Two men backed in, crouching, watching the hallways rather than looking into the room; a tall man and a small man, both young. As Sheila began tomewhat timiiiy: "We had to come in through your place" they both sprang about and she heard a quick whispered oath. Then the four were facing one another, Sheila and Peter aghast and terrified, and the two others hardly less taken aback. "Shut up!" the smaller man whis-pered fiercely. "Listen!" Peter persisted, in a voice that was not loud, but that was not afraid. The two policemen came out in the fluttering snow, and the lights of the car picked them up; they waited for it to reach them. Ken leaned out. "White Plains?" he shouted. The car stopped. "White Plains?" Ken shouted again. The policemen looked at him, looked at Sheila. "You've got a swell night for a trip," one of the men said. "Wife's mother sick," Ken ex-plained. That was alL One of the officers pointed with a caped arm; straight ahead. Ken started the car, they were moving again. "Well, we got away with that!" Ken presently remarked with great satisfaction, and Sheila was able to breathe again. As long as he was pleased she was safe. Peter was still snoring, snoring what nerves he i must have to go to sleep under Not conscious of what she was doing, she ran to the window, gripped its deep sill as best she could, climbed over it with almost the swiftness of a leap, and was dangling out in the snow. "Oh, God, forgive me my sins!" sobbed Sheila, and dropped. A shocking instant of descent rushed by her; she landed on some-thing soft, sprawled helpless on the snow. "Get off me!" shouted Peter. "My God, you've killed me!" Sheila, snowy, breathless, panting, gathered herself together, rolled over, scrambled to her knees, to her feet. She bent over him. "Oh, I've hurt you! And I'm not hurt at all! You broke my fall!" "I'll tell the world I broke your fall!" Peter agreed, groaning and twisting. "You knocked the wind out of me! Oh, my leg" "Is it broken?" She was pulling, lifting, trying to make him sit up. "I think it is. But what got me." he said, feebly struggling to his knees in the darkness and the raw, soft coldness of the snow, "what got me ouch! was that I thought I had a couple of ribs in my lungs. I thought I was bleeding to death, inside." He fell silent, staring with fasci-nated eyes in face. The shorter man had shown a shining, sleek revolver. Sheila caught at her breath childishly; there was no other sound. "Come here!" the tall man breathed, inaudibly. They sensed rather than heard his words; they followed him across the studio; and he opened a door that gave upon a small storeroom or closet "Give me the rod, Inky," he said, taking the pistol. Instantly he closed himself into the closet with Sheila and Peter. "Don't either of you speak," he said. "They'll get me if you do, but I'll get you first." these circumstances! They had come to a roadside res-taurant, or inn; Sheila could not make out quite what the big square building was, for it showed no lights. What light there was came from an enormous truck, at the door. The snow was still falling, but less dense-ly; the truck had stood there some time, for there were no tracks ahead of it or behind it. Men sprang down from it, or ap-peared suddenly from the house, and there was hurried, undertoned colloquy. Sheila, shaking with cold, wrapping her coat tightly about her and beating her hands against her sides, heard Ken say, "She oughter have something to eat, anyway." But there was objection to this. Her heart failed her. She was ex-hausted to the point of tears. And all the time that she sat on the front seat, awaiting their verdict, trem-bling with fatigue, she could hear Peter snore. "All right, all right!" Ken ex-claimed suddenly. And coming about to Sheila, he said, opening the door of the car, "Get out, and hold onto me. You may be stiff. Keep that rug." "Who your friends?" d'you see? We never asked you folks in here." "Well" Sheila began briskly, her eyes wide, "we hadn't any intenti-on-" "Oh, that's all right, that's all right!" Ken interrupted her as he buttoned on a heavy coat and drew on gloves. "But it may delay you a little bit getting home, see?" "But you'll let my mother know?" the girl asked anxiously. He looked at her oddly, as if he were curious about her. "Sure, I'll let your mother know." "Oh, all right then!" she said, re-lieved. "Just a minute" Peter said bold-ly. But Ken, after favoring him with a bored sort of stare, took Sheila's arm and led her downstairs with no further words. Sheila heard the door behind her slam upon Pe-ter's protest, "Say, what-th- e say, what are you trying to do" The words were cut off there. She looked inquiry at her companion. CHAPTER VII There was a long pause, during which they all clung close together, motionless. Then Sheila heard voices in the studio. There was talk of greeting and of the weather, and mention of cigarettes. "What's that yure paintin' now?" a big warm Irish voice said. She missed the answer; she heard a chair creak, a murmur of talk. Then a voice that was not the Irish voice said, "I do not know. And if I do know I not tell on my friend, Mr. Garrity." "You've got some queer friends!" Garrity said. There was more con-versation in lower tones, more scraping of chairs. Then the caller evidently departed; the door slammed. "Gosh, I certainly thought I wrecked myself!" Peter shouted, standing, then limping along beside her. Sheila supported him with both arms; they were making their way toward the two hooks of the fire es-cape, just visible in the gloom. The snow whirled softly about them, wet their faces. "Peter, go carefully. It would be awful to walk right off the edge of the roof!" "I can't hear you." "Take care!" "I didn't think I could walk as well as this, even." "Oh, you'll be all right." "Be awfully careful going down the fire escape. We're up on the third floor." They fingered its wet iron rails, in the gloom. "He'll be down with Inky," Ken told her. They went through a back pas-sage, Ken gripping her arm tightly. A side door opened into a narrow alley: they were out in the night. "Don't make any noise now, Sis-ter!" "I won't!" she answered, fright-ened. An open car, a large touring car with the rain curtains securely but-toned down, was standing at the curb. Snow was falling softly, stead-ily; all the noises of the city were softened and dull. Ken. still holding tight to Sheila's Broken, cramped, weak with hun-ger and cold and weariness, Sheila tottered out; Ken steadied her or she would have fallen. Everything seemed to be circling about her in the sharp black contrasts of the snow and the night, and the faces of the huddled men, shrewdly watch-ing her, looked ominous. "Get in the back of the truck here," Ken said. She clutched his arm. He was no ( friend of hers, but at least he was closer to her than these murderous-lookin- g strangers. ': "Listen I'm so tired" "You haven't got far, now. They , ain't going to hurt you," he mut-tere- d gruffly. "Get In there and .: wrap that other thing round you, too.

"I'm going awfully slow." She lowered one foot cautiously over the edge, gripping the railing tightly. Backing, she put down the other foot, and so descended careful-ly; snow falling all about her and powdering head and shoulders, and the already piled snow dislodged and falling away below her fingers and feet. . Following her, Peter was surprised to discover, as she had discovered, that the fire escape went down only one short flight and ended on anoth-er dark, snowy roof, among chim-neys and skylights. "We're all right now!" Sheila called joyfully, as he joined her. "There's sure to be a door here, or we can yell and stamp and they 11 come up." arm, fell into a low-tone- d conversa-tion with two men who emerged from the shadows; afterward one of them looked at Sheila sharply. This man was an American, elderly, lean, nervous. She saw Ken give him the addresses and telephone numbers he had taken from Peter and herself upstairs. The old man listened, nodded, muttered a word or two. "Now, you get in front here. Sis-ter," Ken said then, opening the right-han- front door, "and we'll be out of this in no time at all!" "He's coming," Ken told her Get in!" When Sheila, secretly praying, had obeyed, he walked around the car to the driver's seat, the elderly man standing close to Sheila, with one veinv hand gripping her wrist "Don't make no noise." the man said.
