she was that he was getting well,
and expressing her heartiest good
wishes for his marriage to Miss
Kennedy.
Sheila had half-heartedly agreed
to this. She would have preferred,
herself, to do nothing in regard to
Frank. Without being able to ana
lyze exactly how she felt, she sensed
that there was mystery, there was
provocation, about complete silence.
But a nice letter was simply a nice
letter; it ended everything. Every
thing was ended, of course. But
somehow Sheila had had a feeling,
deep in her heart, that there would
be one more act.
She wanted to see Frank once
more, to be sure that everything
was all right between him and Ber-
nadette, to close up their own SEN
sational experience with one little,
friendly talk.
But the manner in which Joe and
Ma had discussed the propriety of
even letter had shown Sheila plain
ly that the thought of a call was
quite out of the question. So she
had dutifully written, almost as die
tated by her authorities.
The first days following the acct
dent had been time of strange las
situde and WEAKNESS to her. Sheila
had lain on the big bed, in the CEN
ter room, dreamy and silent, or she
had come out to take the kitchen
rocker, listening to the talk that had
gone on about her, very gentle and
sweet, but apparently broken in
body and spirit.
During these days the house had
been full of company. Every rela-
tive and friend the Carscaddens had,
and they were legion, had come in
and out of the kitchen as if it were
club. Marg'ret had come, painting
from the stairs; Lizzie had come;
Nicely and Lew had come. The tea
pot had never cooled, nor run dry,
in this exciting time.
After almost a week of it, Sheila
had appeared suddenly to awaken.
She had washed her hair, had put
her wardrobe in order. The sensa-
tons, the thrills, were all over Now
for job, and stretch of unroman-
tic routine and duty.
And first duty of all, and in an
other sense, last, the nice letter to
Frank had been written.
Unexpectedly, and bringing all the
thrills back with a dizzying rush,
Glacier County chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1931-1940, 1940-11-08

Frank had instantly answered. Shei-
las letter had been written on
Wednesday night; on Thursday aft
ernoon, when she had been alone in
the house, the postman's whistle had
drawn her down to the door and
there had been the miracle!
A letter from Frank. Sheila would
not have believed that any six pen
ciled lines could be so wonderful.
Seven lines, for he had written, sit
ting up for the first time" across
the top.
He was glad she was all right,
and it was fine getting her letter,
and next time they tried flying they
would take out some insurance first.
And he was hers affectionately.
1t was that last word that shook
her to the depth of her soul and
turned the whole world bright. Shei-
la had thought of nothing else from
that moment but the prospect of see
ing him. Instantly she had known
that she must see him, and her life
