THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1931 PAGE FIVE, | + Beth Shannon, a pretty young Stenographer, sole support of her Widowed fnvalld mother is in ove with her employer, Philip Dang, This in spite of the fact that Philip has shown no pers Sonal dnterest in her and is ate tentive to Qaroline Gibbons, a so alety gir! of his own soclal World, 'Through Arnold" Stone, an older man In the same office, Beth has taken part In a little: , theatre play, where ehe had worn Some beautiful clothes sent her from Paris by an aunt who died there After the theatre Arnold took h-r and Phil and Caroline, Who alse attends thé play, to a night elub to dance, When Are nold brought her home very late Both saw the ahadow of George Matoalt, a nelghborhood admirer, Sp away into the darkness. INSTALMENT XX The Missing Christmas Gite The nyighborhood matinee which the little threatre gave the follow- ing Sunday afternoon was tn the tature of an anti-climax for Beth. Like a good trouper she played her part well, ag dld the others, but the knowledge that no one she pars ticularly cared to fmpress was in the audiénce took much of the snap LOVE'S PRISONER by Barbara Webb let you have all you want, ¢ and to the nearest telephone, ne returned in a few minutos to ask it there was anything he could do. "Anything at all, Mrs, Shannon And--and it you need money ! can Bath mustn't lack for anything," Mrs Shannon smiled tremulausly at him, "That's good of you, George, but T have enough tor now, T will ask you it I need it, I promise you that." "Can I see Beth?" he asked, Mrs. Shannon thought of that slight figure tossing on its bel and whispering Philip Dane's name. No, it wonld give George pain to hear Roth doing that, so ghe sald: "1 don't think you'd better now, George. It might disturb hor. and the poor girl fa upset enough now as it is. Let's wait until the doctor comes, there's nothing we can do until then." "All these late hours, belug in that play and working at tha sama time have heen too much for her," George sald, "Keenlne house. too} why, it's enough to kill a etrone man, 'et alone a delleate girl Uke Beth." Christmas Eve out the affair for Beth, She went home to spend the ovening with her mother and all through the lours until her 10 o'clock bedtime the was conscious of a dull head- ache and a general sense of let- down, In the morning she was heiter, but whe still felt depressed and ii, | and when she arrived at the office! Clara Smith commented on har ist less appearance, "You look as though you'd heen put through the wringer, Roth," sha shld. "Don't you feel wall?" "Oh, not very, fust tired, T think. I had a lot of excitement over the weaksand," Philip came In late and hustled Into his office to get to work ot once and did not sand for Beth 'inti! nearly noon. When she came In answer to his summons he looked at her keenly, . "I'm trying to see you the way you looked last Saturday night," he re- marked with a ring of disappoint. ment in his voice, "It takes a 10t of Imaminating, doesn't {t?" Beth responded, a trifle hitterly, "No~=not that. But you wera ao (brillant that night and today 'you're just Jenny Wren anein.' Heartache "That's my usual role." Beth as- sured him, "I don't blossom ont very often." Phil studied her. "StilL" he said Rhoughtfully "there's something very nice ahout having a pergon as quietly dressed as you are this morning around. A rest for the |oyes and nerves. I'd never eat any iwork done If you came in ehining 1a Russian blue." Beth bent over her notebook. It wasn't fair, she thought. Shs wus exactly the same girl this Monday morning that she ad been on Sat- urday night. Clothes did make a (difference, to men partien'arly, Phil dicated some letters and then they talked for half an hour of the way his campaign for adding aviation securities to the firm's {listings was ghaping up, "We're going ahead so well, [thanks to your careful work, Miss [Shannon, that by early spring we ought to be able to go before the Board of Directors with the plan all ready. T hope it goes over. Tt will mean real money for me if 1¢ des, and a big advancement fér you." His tone was so businesslike, so far removed from the personal cns he had used to her forty-eight hours previously that Beth's heart negan' to ache. No use denying that she had bullt gome bright dreams over his having met her after the play as a person, not a competent so0re tary. And those bright dreams were all ashes now. . Beth went back to her desk and tried to work. At lunchtime ste drank some coffee but could eat nothing, and by 2 o'clock she felt so miserable that she decided ty so home. Phil was out, hut she oid Ciara Smith and tried to find Arn. old. He was out too, so Beth left without seeing either of the men she liked best in the firm, Tt seem. ed to her she could not get Pome fast enough, To lay her aohina head on a pillow, shut her eyes against the cruel light, and sink into forgetfulness of everything nogmed the one desirable thing left in life. Mrs. Shannon was alarmed when Beth came in with two feverish spots In her cheeks, and her eyes dark with pain, "DIA you eall the doctor?" she asked anxiously, "No, 1 A1dn't mother, AN § need 1s to get tn had and get soma sleep, I'm Just tired ont."

But her hops was valn, Beth was delirious when she woke and tossed and murinured Philip Dane's name over and over, Mrs. Shannon wag thoroughly alaymed and wag about to atieinpt to stagger to the door of the next apartment and ask for help when there was & tap at the kitchen door | and George eame in, | Mrs. Shannon almost sobbed her relfef, "Oh, George, 'm go glad | you 'came, Beth 1s sick and we | must have the doctor right awav, ell Bim to ome at once.

She'll have to stay in bed for nree or four days and tako things easy for a couple of weeks after that. But it fsn't anything serious if we enteh It now and nip ft in the bud, Here are some powders that will bring her fever down: That dolir tum {gs only a temporary thing, Mra, Shannon, and shonld pass by morn. ing. Don't let her get up, give her only Itquids and keep her quiet, I'll send the visiting nuree in tomorrow to give her a bath and change her bed. You'll manage wll right, 1 think, And you mustn't overds yourself, now that we've got you coming along so nicely." "I'll stay hers tonight In case anytliing is needed," Gleorge offered Dr. Grey nodded approvingly. "Just the thing, she ought to nave her medine every hour until mide. night at least, and Mrs, Shannon really ought to be in bed. T1'll leave instructions with you then, Mr, Metealt,"" for the doctes knew George well, 'andl I'm sures Beth will be a lot better in the morning." When he had gone (George made Mrs, Shannon go to bed. and then with all the tenderness of a wom he tended the sick girl, He sai nothing of Beth's delirium, though now she was repeating long eon versations she had had with Phil In the office. Whatever it enst him to keep silence, hie bare it well, and when midnight came Le contrived a bed for himself on the kitchen floor and slept thero until morniug.: Beth was her natural self again in the morning, with no memory! of the tell-tale detftfum of the niaht/ before, "Oh, T hate being sick ke this,*"| she moaned, 'and' tomorrow 1s Christmas, too, George, you 'ele phone the office that T won't be in today, but I'll surely be hack on Thursday. George set his Ips and sada nothing. He had his own ideas about when Beth would go hack to the office, hut this wasn't the time to speak to them. About noon Arnold came fn, solleitons laden with hothouse grapes and flowers and huge oranges, and Insiefed on fustalling a nuree, Beth shook her head at him "No we're watting along all right Arne old, The visiting nurse came In this morning and fixed me up.

It was Candlemas Day, the day on which Johnny Chuck is supposed to come out for a look around and de- cide how much longer he will sleep, or must sleep, before wiitter will be over. Farmer. Brown's boy was thinking of Johnny Chuck and certain other sleepers who po to sleep when cold weather approaches and do not awake until Jacek Frost has gone whence he came, "l wonder why they picked out Johnny Chuck to pin that legend to," said Farmer Brown's Boy. "1 supe pose it was because so many people know him and once in a great while he does make the mistake of coming out in the middle of winter, 1 sup- pose he has come out at some time or other on Candlemas Day, but of course it just happened that way. Johnny is no weather prophet.

"Sometimes rolicf, 1 think," it would be a blessed said Mather Brown "Of course 1 know the Snake and Frogs and Toads and Turtles all sleep through the winter, but who besides Johnny Chuck among those who wear fur sleeps through the winter?" "Nou ought to remember at least one other; you made fuss enough about him," replied Farmer Brown's boy with a twinkle in his eyes. "I suppose you mean Elitter the Bat, but he didn't stay asleep or I would: n't have known anything about him, retorted Mother Brown, "That is because it wasn't cold enough in this house," explained Far« mer Brown's boy.
