the unexpected often becomes the
expected, out Of the mist came Dick
Barnes! And at his heels came Cis-
sy Sheldon
They are athletes, Cissy, tall, thin
and powerful; Dick, short, square
and more powerful. Naturally my
abductors were into their auto, and
off, and lost in the fog before Dick
had picked me up from the pave
ment where L had been violently
thrown.
Motherdear had kept one of the
mauraders occupied. When the dam
ger was over, she shook like a fever
victim. Perhaps her shaken nerves,
perhaps the darkness of the night,
prevented her from recognizing JIM
my.
After the resuce, he left US with
Cissy while he hunted up taxi for
us. Then he departed as if he wish
ed to avoid our gratitude. Cissy
escorted US home.
Dick did not wish to meet Mother
dear.
/ couldn't bear to have a secret
from her, but the secret was Dicks,
not mine. Moreover, / felt sure
Motherdear would be as confused as
| was about Jimmy's conduct. So
why bother her.
Who was back of the attempt to
carry me off?
Motherdear had me watched for
weeks by plainclothes men - to my
disgust, The passionate love letters
in the disguised writing ceased to
come. But that proved nothing to
me.
McMasters came to the studios
next morning and commended me
with an odd smile Dick Barnes did
not come near me except to ask if
| or my mother suffered from the
shock.
But Cissy came whenever he per-
ceived an opening and stayed when
ever he came
Once more he announced that he
wasn't fit to marry me, but neither
was any other man, and since GER
tainly needed strong man in the
family, he would like to be it!
And once more told him frank
ly that | didn't see any sense in
getting married, although it might
be awfully handy to have an
athlete to depend upon in emergen-
cies.
"Why are you such little cynic,
May?"

ASLEEP


THEY tell my baby is asleep,
But always. when he slept, before,
His Playthngs scattered about here and there
Where he left them, upon the floor.
But they have taken his toys everyone
And hidden they all away.
When he wakens-my baby
Do they think he'll not want to play?
And the bright-colored rompers he loved
They've taken them all l know
And locked them away in perfumed drawer
In a where I may not go,
And if my baby is only asleep,
Where have they taken his bed?
And why have they placed in the where stood
A vase of white rose-buds instead?
Everyone's voice is so tenderly low,
Light footsteps hear everywhere,
While the sweet heavy perfume of newy-cut flowers
Burdens the close. still air
All, something tells me my baby is cold!
Though the sunshine is strangely bright!
Something tells my baby must sleep
In narrow, bed tonight
That he sleeps to awaken
This side the far azure sky;
And, 0, my arms are empty and cold
Where his little body should lie.
