HAPPENED When
VXSheila Elliston Refused Love
By IDAH McGLoNE GIBSON

| looked queerly to you. 1t seemed a
stroke Of Fate that should meet
you there.
THAT morning Susanne had told
me that reporter from a disrep-
utable blackmailing sheet had come
to her and asked her about Sheila.
"I told him, Phil she asserted,
that l did not know your /fe, had
never known her, and that 1 had
no way of knowing whether she was
the girl of the same name who had
been arrested some years before
on complaint Of my father.
L did this for you, Phil, be-
cause | want to save you every pos
sible annoyance. / should have told
you nothing about it, if that re-
porter had not said that it would
be comparatively easy for him to
dig up the photographs of Sheila in
the rogues gallery and compare
them with recent pictures of her.

when the officer returned I pre-

place.
On the street, Just outside the
door, I met you. For one Wild mo-
ment l thought you were going into
the building on the came errand, and
then ! realized that probably nei-
ther you nor Sheila would ever
think of that part Of poor Sheila's
martyrdom.
Il was going there, Phil, for those
pictures when l met you. Someone
had written Sheila an anonymous
letter and she had gone nearly in
sane with fear. l went there to con-
suit with detective. Tried TO get
him to say that he would remove
the pictures, but, of course, he
would mot. A few days later he told
me that when he went to find the
pictures they were gone. /, of course

Susanne had made him think that
.Sheila had never loved him and now
manlike, he was almost ready to de-
clare that Susanne, whom he had
thought the most unselfish devotee
of love, was not so disinterestedly
interested in him as he had been
ready to believe. Consequently he
had come to me at last.
