ANNE AUSTIN - THIS HAS HAPPENED The summer she is 16, Sally Ford, ward of the state orphanage from tie time she is four, is “farmed out” to Clem Carson. She meets David Nash, athlete and student who is working on the farm for the sum- mer. Carson makes remarks about | David's innocent friendship with Sally and the student strikes him | a crushing blow. Sally and David flee and join a carnival, David as cook’s helper | and Sally in a sideshow disguised as neess Lalla,” a crystal gaz- er. Nita, Hula dancer, who kn the police are after David and Sal and who is infatuated with David, threatens to expose Sally if she | doesi't keep “hands off” the youns | student. ; In Capital City, Sally successfully | cscapes detection under the disguise | of Lalla until one afternoon when the orphanage wards troop in with a | beautiful woman, who ls playing | Lady Bountiful” to them. One littie girl recognizes Sally and shouts her rame. Gus, the barker, comes to Sally's rescue und diverts attention from her and gets the children out of the tent. Sally is surprised 10 see the heautiful “Lady Bountiful” stop and talk with a dark-eyed, well-| dressed Easterner who earier in the | ternoon had teasingly read Sally's | fortune in the crystal and asked her 1o go to supper with him. Sally dis- likes him and refuses. She hears these two speak of New York and call cach other Enid and Van. A ter- | rible storm comes up, ‘and the tent blows down. Sally finds herself in the strong arms of the Kasterner, who tells her he knows who she is. When they are rescued, Sally looks about and finds Davil and «Nita missing. That night Bybec's safe is robbed | NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXIX “Everyhody tumble out! Pop By- wants us all in the privileg: a carnival employe shouted, running down the sieeping car and pausing only to thrust a hand into each berth, like a Pullman porter awakening his passengers. But Sally was alrcady dressing. getting her dresa on backward and sobbing with futlle rage at the| time lost in yeversing it. When she was scrambling out of her upper berth, a tiny hand reached cut of the lower and tugged at her foot. “Don't forgst me, Sall the midget commanded sharply. “And for heaven's sake, don't take on so! You'll make yourself sick, cry- ing ltke that. Of course your Da- vid didn’t rob the aafe. I'm ail dressed.” fally parted the green curtains and stretched out her arms for the midget, who was so short that she could stand upright upon her bed without her head touching the | rounded support of the upper berth. Little Miss Tanner ran into Sally's arms and clambered to her sheul- der. “It's that Nita.” She nodded her miniature * head emphatically, I always did have my suspicions about her, Always turning white as a sheet when a policeman hove into sight.” “But David's missing, too,” Sal-, Iy sobbed, as she hurried down the | aisle which was hecoming choked | with frowsy-headed women in all} stages of dress and undr. “0f course he didn't do it—" “Hurry up, everybod take time to primp, girls!” a man hawled at them from the door. They found most of the men em- ployes and performers of the car- nival already assembled with the Bybees in the privilege car. Pop Rybee's usually lobster-colored face was as white as putty, but his arm was gallantly about his wife's «houlder. Mrs. Bybee still wore the black sateen petticoat and red sweater in - which she had hurried ti: ghow train to the car- nival fmhediately after the storm. | Her reddened eyes showed that she | had been g bitterly, but as the amnival family crowded into the 1 aicg car she searched cach face | with fury and suspicion. here to me, sbrilled, when Sally entered with “Pitty Sing” riding her ghoulder. | No, honey, go 1" Pop Ty-| tec cautioned her futilely, “Better “t me do the talking: “You shut upi® manded angrily.
