No heavenly intervention appeared likely. But there was an interruption, nevertheless. Frame Mc Cann quietly opened the hall door and stepped into the kitchen. ' He was confronted by Sheila, with blazing eyes. She had thrown off her brother's detaining hand, her fingers had been on the knob when Frank turned it "Hello, hello!" Peter's older brother said in his pleasant voice as he took In the scene. "What's going on here?" "What's going on," Sheila answered hotly, with a heaving chest, "is that my mother and my brother and sister don't bellev me, and I've had about enough of being treated like a thief and liar and a street-walkand I don't know what else besides!" to be rocking the whole world as well as the heart of Sheila Carscadden. "Be a good girl." he had said to her. And he had called her "Sheila." After she had run away from all the hatefulness, from this new, accusing, suspicious Angela, and this reproachful Joe, and this totally unknown Ma. then she knew that she would take these magic phrases out of the very inner chamber of her soul and taste them over and over again on her tongue. "Now, tomorrow being St Patrick's Day. it's a holiday." Frank was saying. "And my mother wan. dered if you and Joe and Sheila would come down to our house in the morning, Mrs. Carscadden, and then we can talk the whole thing over.

The man spoke more slowly: "Why, they wouldn't want you to do anything you didn't want to do. They might think you wanted to." "Well," she said. In instant relief. "I don't want to." "You know, Sheila," Frank began, and looked away, hesitating. "You know, my mother thought" he began again, "that since you and Peter had been shut up in that place for two nights" He hesitated, and Sheila took It up defiantly: "Yes, I know. And what's more, Peter was in my room that first night what there was left of it that is. But I don't care! It doesn't make the slightest difference." "It was only a question of justice to you. Sheila." "Well, you can tell your mother that I'm perfectly satisfied!" "Miss Kennedy my young lady" Frank persisted, "agreed with my mother." "WelL then she doesn't understand the way I feel!" Sheila said hotly. Frank was smiling, as at an angry child. "She's a pretty wise young lady, Bernadette," he said, as if he were merely thinking aloud. Sheila stood looking at him, panting. "You don't think I ought to marry Peter!" she challenged him. "I thought" Her earnestness affected him in spite of himself, and he looked at her with his kindest expression. Sheila seemed small and pale, in her scant old cotton gown, with her tumbled coppery bang falling on her broad forehead. She was fighting for her life. "I thought you'd want to. Sheila." Frank said, sympathetically. "Frank!" Suddenly she was clinging to him, jumbled against him, soft and warm and sweet "Don't let them make me!" If he said anything to her she did not hear it His arm was about her for a minute, his face against her hair. Then they had drawn apart, and his fingers, that had been gripping hers, were loosened, and he was running down the stairs. Sheila stood dazed, alone in the hallway. After a while she turned toward the kitchen; a strange light was in her absent eyes, a dreamy smile on her lips. She moved like a sleepwalker. alone there. Joe had gone to bed in the front room, and Angela was in Sheila's place in the big bed, crying, asleep, or feigning uncon sciousness. Sheila could not tell. It was a little hard to manage a dignified performance of disrobing and ablutions with her mother's steely eyes upon her, and with the consciousness that she would presently come to bed in the same small room with her, but Sheila achieved it Angela rarely slept in the big bed. It was a tacit sign of Sheila's alienation from the family that she should be there tonight "A lot I care!" Sheila thought angrily. "They're all against me!" She deliberately summoned Frank Mc Cann to her mind, deliberately dwelt upon every look of his, every word, his smiling remoteness from any trouble of hers; be that was so cool and faultless and amused at it all! "No girl would ever get that one into trouble," Sheila thought going off to sleep. At eleven o'clock the next morning she and her mother and Joe presented themselves at the Mc Cann mansion. Part of the way they rode in a bus, following the Fifth Avenue side of the park in excitement. the holiday-mornin- g Crowds were already gathering for the St Patrick's Day parade. There was Bands were abroad. snow left in the park, great stretches of it, under the bare trees, and there were children skating and screaming on the pond.

And this She was but twenty-one- . morning her life was ruined before her.
