THIS HAS HAPPENED When she Is four years aid SALLY FORD is left at the State orphanage by a woman who says she is the child’s mother but who disappears without again inquiring for the child. The summer she is 16, Sally is “farmed out" to CLEM CARSON, a farmer who has the reputation of being a harsh and unrelenting task master. Thorc she meet* DAVID NASH, handsome young student who is working on the Carson farm for the summer, preparing himself to inherit his grandfather’s many acres which adjoin the Carson place. David likes Sally and this arouses the anger of PEARL. Carson's daughter. Clem orders Sally to have nothing to do with David, saying he and Pearl are practically engaged. She disregards his warning, however. The next day the women folk leave Sally alone on the farm with Clem and David. When her work is done she goes to her room, but David’s voice calls to her and sbe innocently goes into his room for a moment to see his books on farming. The wind blows the door shut. They are suddenly frightened by Clem's face peering at them through the little attic window. His evil remarks so infuriate David that he strikes Clem, sending him crashing to the ground. David tells Sally they must run away, and tells her to meet him in the orchard in a few minutes. He telephones for a doctor to come to Clem's aid. then meets the girl. He says: “I’ve been thinking hard, honey. I'll have to take you back to the Home.’’

CHAPTER XII , David, no, no! I can t go Xy back to the orphanage! I'd Jrather die!” Sally gasped. David dropped his bundle, took her hands and held them tightly. “I can’t run away from this thing I’ve done, Sally. I’m sorry. I thought I could. I’m going to give myself up, after I’ve seen you safely back in the Home. I’ll explain to your Mrs. Stone, make her believe—” “Oh!” Sally breathed on a gust of despair. Then, stooping swiftly, she snatched up her bundle and began to run down a corn row. She ran with the fleetness of a terrorstricken animal, and David watched her for a long moment, his eyes

WEAK, RUN-DOWN HAD NO PEP AT ALL Tells How #he Soon Recovered Health, Weight and Energy. Every woman who is weak, rundown or undernourished will be interested in the experience of Mrs. S. Kuharic, 924 S, Thirtieth St., South Bend, Ind.* How she won back her health, appeitite and weight, is told In her letter, as follows: ‘‘For months I was badly rundown; thoroughly tired out and awfully weak all the time. I had no appetite and what food I could eat, didn’t agree with me or do me any good. I lost weight until I was down to only 82 pounds. My vitality was so low that I had no pep at all. My husband and friends began to be alarmed about me. They had me try several medicines, but I felt no better. Then a relative suggested Viuna, and after Just a few doses I began to feel a difference. Before the first bottle was gone I had a good appetite for the first time in months. Soon I had gained seven pounds. Now my system is regular, I feel fine and can eat anything. Viuna helped me so wonderfully that I gave it to my daughter. She had kidney and bladder trouble for some time. In only two days I noticed she was much better and now she is entirely relieved of her ailments., She is gaining every day and looks fine. We both owe all our good health to Viuna."

dark with pity and uncertainty. Then he gave chase, his long legs clearing the distance between them with miraculous speed. He caught up with her just as she was at the edge of the corn field, recklessly about to plunge into the lane that led to the Carson house. ‘‘Wait, Sally.” he panted, grasping her shoulder. ‘‘You can’t run away alone like this—Oh Lord!” he groaned suddenly. ‘‘There they come! Don’t you hear the car turning in from the road? Come back, Sally!” He did not wait for her to obey, but lifted her into his arms, for she had gone limp with terror, and ran, crouching low so that the com stalks would hide them. “Lie flat on the ground,” David said sternly, a?f he set her gently upon her feet. “We can’t leave here now. The place will be swarming with people. But when it’s dark we’ll slip away, across fields. Thank God, there’ll be no moon.” He flattened his own body upon the soft earth, close against the thick, sturdy corn stalks.. They did not talk much for they were listening, listening for faint sounds coming from the farmhouse which would indicate that the dreadful discovery had been made. Long minutes passed and nothing had happened. Then the muffled roar of another motor, turning into the lane from the State highway, told them that the doctor to whom David had telephoned was arriving. It seemed hours before a scream floated from the house to the cornfield. “Pearl!” Sally whispered, shivering. “They hadn’t found him. The doctor told them. Oh, David!” His hand tightened so hard upon hers that she winced. A little later they heard Mrs. Carson's harsh voice calling, calling—“ Sally! Sallee! Sally Ford!” Sally bowed her head upon David’s hand then, and wept a little, shuddering. “She was—good to me. She—she liked me. David. Oh, I hope she’ll know I didn’t mean her any harm, ever!” The next hour, during which the sun set and twilight settled like a soft gray dust upon the cornfield, passed somehow. Several cars arrived; men’s voices shouted unintelligible words. Twice Pearl screamed— But no one came down the corn rows looking for them. “They won’t dream we’re still so near the house,” David assured her in his low, comforting vojee. When it was quite dark David spoke again: “We’ll make a break for it now, Sally. I know this part of the country well. My grandfather’s farm adjoins this one, with only a fence between the two hay meadows. We can cut across his farm, giving the house and barns a wide berth. Then we'll strike a bit of timberland that belongs to old man Cosgrove. That will bring us out on a little-traveled road that leads to Stanton, twentytwo miles away. Think you can make it, Sally?” She hugged her bundle tight to her breast and reached for his hand, which he had withdrawn as he rose to his feet. “Os course,” she answered simply. “I’m not afraid, David.” “You’re a plucky kid,” David said gruffly. “I’ll lead the way. Let me know if I set too fast a pace.” Buoyed up by his praise, Sally trotted almost happily at his heels. She refused to let her mind dwell on the horrors of the day, or to reach out into the future. Indeed, her imagination was incapable of picturing a future for a Sally Ford whose life was not regulated by orphanage routine. She held only the present fast in her mind, passionately grateful for the strong, swiftly striding figure before her,

unwilling for this strange nighttime adventure to end. “Thirsty, Sally?” David’s low voice called out of the darkness of the woods. Suddenly she knew that she was both thirsty and hungry, for she had not eaten since the 12 o’clock dinner. A cool breeze was rustling the leaves of the trees, and under that whispering rustle came the cool, sweet murmur of a brook. She crouched beside David on the bank of the tiny stream and thirstily drank from his cupped hands. Then he dipped his handkerchief in the water and gently swabbed her face, his hands as tender as Sally had fancied a mother’s must be. The going was more dogged, less mysteriously thrilling when they had at last reached the dirt road that was eventually to lead them to Stanton, a town of four or five thousand inhabitants, the town in which the woman who had brought her twelve years ago to the orphanage had lived. Days before Sally had memorized the address before destoying the bit of paper on which Miss Pond, out of the kindness of her heart, had copied Sally's record from the orphanage files. Half a dozen times during the apparently interminable trudge toward Stanton David abrutly called a halt, drawing Sally off the road and over reeling, drunken-looking fences into meadows or fields for a terribly needed rest. Once, with his head in her lap, her fingers smoothing his crisp chestnu curls from his sweat-moistened brow, he went to sleep, and she knew that she would not. have awakened him even to save herself from the orphanage. Dawn was bedecking the east with tattered pink banners when the boy and girl, staggering with weariness and faint with hunger, caught their first glimpse of Stanton, a pretty little town snugly asleep in the hush that belongs peculiarly to early Sunday morning. Only the dutiful crowing of backyard roosters and the occasional baying of a hound broke the stillness. “We've got to have food.” David said abruptly, as they hesitated forlornly on the outskirts of the little town. "And yet I suppose the alarm has been given and the constables are on the look-out for us. We might stop at a house that has no telephone—they wouldn’t be likely to have heard about Carson—but I don’t like to arouse anyone this early on Sunday inorning. There’s

an eating house next to the station that stays open all night, to serve train crews and passengers, but more than likely the station agent has been told to keep a lookout for us.” As he spoke a train whistled shrilly. The two wayfarers stood not a hundred yards from the railroad tracks where they crossed the dirt road. Sally instinctively turned to flee, but David restrained her. “We can’t hide from everyone, Sally,” he said gently. “I think our best bet is to act as if we had nothing to hide. Remember, we’ve done no wrong. If Carson is dead, he brought his death upon himself. He deserved what he got.” Trustingly, Sally gave him her hand, stood very small and erect beside him as the big engine thundered down the tracks toward them. Her face was white and dawn with fatigue, but her eyes managed a smile for David. His did not receive and reflect that brave smile, for they were fixed upon the oncoming train. “By George, Sally, it's a carnival train! Look! ’Bybee's Bigger and Better Show.’ I'd forgotten the carnival was coming. Look over there! There’s one of their signs!” An enormous poster, pasted upon a billboard, showed a nine-foot giant and a thirty-inch dwarf, the little man, smoking a huge cigar, seated cockily in the palm of the giant's vast hand. Big red type below the picture announced: “Bybee’s Bigger and Better Show— Stanton, June 9 and 10. One hundred performers, largest menagerie in any carnival on the road today.” “I suppose they're going to spend Sunday here,” David remarked. Then he turned toward Sally, beheld the miracle of her transformed face. “Why, child, you want to go to the carnival, don't you? Poor little Stlly!” His voice was so tender, so whimsical, so sympathetic, that tears filmed over the brilliance of her sapphire eyes. “I went to a circus once,” she said with the eager breathlessness of a child. “The governor—he was running for office again—sent tickets for all the orphans. And, oh it was wonderful, David! We all planned to run away from the orphanage and join the

circus. We talked about it for weeks, but—we didn’t run away. The girls didn’t, I mean, but one of the big boys at the orphanage did and Ruby Presser, the girl he was sweet on, got a postcard from him from New York when the circus was in winter quarters. His name was Eddie Cobb and—oh, the train’s stopping, David! Look!” “Yes.” David shaded his eyes and squinted down the railroad track. “That is a spur of the main road, a siding, they call it. I suppose the carnival cars will stay here today—” But for once Sally was not listening to him. She was running toward the cars, from which the engine had been uncoupled, and as she ran she called shrilly, joyously, to a young man who had dropped catlike from the top of a car to the ground: “Eddie! Eddie Cobb! Eddie!” (To Be Continued) Opportunity is seized by Sally and David. They join the carnival!
