------- me Em. _ouise only about * dealing with the great facts of life PAGE TWO THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1930 ; The Secret of MARGARET YORKE By Kathleen Norris The Story Thus Par jo Margaret Yorke, an satiractive young woman from New York, is companion to Mrs. Cutting, in California, and governess to Mrs. Cutting's small, adopted som, Jim, Mrs. Cutt! knows nothing of takes a 4 nephew, Stanley Crittenden, be- cause of his apparently idle hab- its. Stanley Is curious about Margaret. At a bridge game be is much attracted to Margaret, but she Is coldly Indifferent to him. Mrs. Cutting comes to Margaret's room at night and tells her that Mrs. Cuyler Theo- bald of New York, the former Shirley Wilson, and once Btan- ley's fiancee, is coming back to get a divorce. At the mention of Cuyler Theobald's name, Mar garet turns pale. The family 80 to thelr ranch at Uplands, and Margaret, driving with Stanley tells him what she has heard about Shirley's coming, Stanley takes the news calmly. Margaret, at the farm, finds that her dis. like of "tanley Is being over come. Margaret establishes her- seit as a favorit," with the week-end guests at Upland, Stan- ley returns alone to the farm, after the guests have departed, snd he and Margaret find them- selves falling in love, Back at Burlingame Shirley Willison Theo bald has settled in the Ferguson house. Society decides not to forgive Shirley but she Is de- termined to be recognized. She attends a strawberry fete where she meets Margaret and ques- tions her about Stan. A week after the strawberry fete Shirley goes to the country club and sees Margaret with Jim. She tries to find out from Margaret, Stan's attitude on Mrs. Cutting's adop- tion of the child, She meets Stan. and has a talk with him and for the first time recog-~ nizes that Margaret Yorke is her rival in securing Stan's affec- tions. Shirley Invites Stan to spend an evening with her. Bhe plays on his sympathy in her re- cital of her martial misadven- ture. Stan kisses her good- night. Stan telephones his aunt that he Is bringing Shirley to Uplands where Mrs. Cutting and argaret are sopending a few ays. Shirley makes herself very agreeable and further en. snares Stan with her charm. INSTALMENT XI Margaret and Mrs. Cutting watching Stan knew that he was not happy. When he was happy he was very different. He 'was quiet, full of interest in everything, )he was pleasant. Now he was excited, vociferous, anxious to prove that he was hav- ing a wonderful time, anxious not [to waste a minute, but mot--no, not pleasant, Margaret had been jable to talk to him quite simply and freely, a few weeks ago, Now {she had to think"before she spoke, 'select her subject, make sure that lit would mot offend. If ft could 'poesibly be construed into a re- flection upon Shirley, then he was Aurious. + "You women are rich!" he sald one day, in bitter sarcasm, to Mar- (garet. "Always wishing that you 'had a chance to do some good in 'the world, and then when a pool 'girl that's down and out comes your_ way, you can't be civil to Rer!™ "oI'm extremely sorry If I have been uncivil," Margaret had sald, 4n anything but penitence, with an angry gleam in her eyes. "That's the way women #lways act to women," Stah had generaliz. ed largely. 'If it was & man, now, he could be a murderer! But it's a Woman, and a pretty woman, and that's enough! All you can do Is get together and knock her!" "Men adore platitudes {je that." Margaret had observed, mildly generalizing in her turn, : "This ght! is up against it," Stan- ley had reasoned, with a resontful glint in his own angry 'eyes. "1 of- fer her an--well, an asylum, for a few weeks, You and Aunt Hat are always biatting about how you'd like to have friends here, but the minute I take you at your word " «1 certainly don't Wat" Mar. garet had begun, childishly, "And 1 dont think your aunt--" "Oh, Lord, that was Just » "word!" Stanley had interrupted. 'furiously. "You know what mean. But by George, I'm done %icking about it,' he had finished. anerlly. And immediately he lind "gone off upon the theme again. He to complain, reason, solilo- bg y Shirley, in these days. ] Margaret, listened in a sort of fey patience, would think of Shir ley, small, soft, silk-and-lace clad, as a child might deal with atlcks of dynamite. ~Elopement, her posi- tion as the nineteen-year-old mise tress of a man of fifty, cstraclem, marriagé, divorce, had still found Shirley soft, cuddly, wanting to be loved and petted, wanting to curl wa by a fire, or under TOSO-TINGS, and tell other men how badly two men had treated her. She had mever had a child, Margaret would think contemptuously, the babyish, 'tnnocent, helpless nature had been anite equal to avolding that com- plication, But there had been rightful quarrels, when Tom Dun- ean or Cuyler Theobald had not heen the only ones rendered tdiotic by intoxication, shill squables over bill, jealousies and angers, there had been tears and resentments and reproaches, and then the beautiful pearls and idiamonds Shirley wore had made thelr appearance, one by one, and she had been all cuddly dimples and Mahyish smiles again. Phe world was: full of women ike that, Margaret would reflect Mitterly and contemptuously. And it was the Stans, the big, fine, sim- ple men, who believed in honor and L} themselves who Invariably were] their prey. "You dowt understand her-- she's not a bit what you think underneath she's just a ttle girl!" was bis argument to anything his sunt might say, He was sure, sometimes buoysntly, sometimes nervously and angrily, that Shirley was being deliberately misjudged. Presently, after a successful house party, they all went away; the Cannons, the Rivers's Shirley and Stan, Young Mrs, River's mother had a beau titu! bungalow at Pebble Beach, near Monterey, and it had been decided that they would all spend a few days there; Stan and the other men going into the city on the train any day, If it were necessary, and returning tothe Beach at night. A dreadful silence, a silence that seemed to Margaret like that of death, descended upon "Uplands" when the two big cars had gone. It seemed to both Margaret and Mrs. Cutting utterly unbelievable that Shirley's visit had been of less than a week; and that this wnole complication had arisen and devel- oped with such rapidity, The echoes of Shirley's high voice seemed still to be ringing upon the porch and lawn, that she would have given years of 1ife to go back to the unconscious {confidence of a week ago. For both she and Mrs. Cutting felt hat the cause was lost. Stan's aunt had softened greatly toward her young companion in this time, then the formal name was sltered to "Margaret," apparently almost without the speaker's ness. "That's falling in love, Mar. garet!" the older woman s~'d, with 8 sigh. "Poor Stan--pr * Stan! If it could have been any other wo- man--"" i "That can't be love!" Margaret said rebelliously, "Its mot. 144 he loved her, really, she couldn't make him seem so strange and so nervous." "Well, she'll marry him!" his aunt predicted, with another deep sigh. "You can't think so?" Margarel's heart seemed to miss a beat. "I don't think he thinks so." Mrs, Cutting conceded. "I don't think Stan fs any more in love with her now than he ever was!" "Oh, neither do I!" Margaret echoed fervently. "But men dont" marry women because they love them, my dear," sald Harriet Cutting. "Half the married men in the world hadn't the faintest intention of getting into it, It's just that one 'hing leads to another: this little stop Is forced, and that is forced, and the first thing he knows, it's done. I think Shirley will land Stan if she Less than a week. Margaret felt | Was 1 terribly piggy, doyn there at the ranch! | 1 didn't mean to be. But I'm goirg' to make it up to you all--you see if I don't!" She was promising favors al- ready; she was estimating the pos- sibilities of the old house with the frank delight of a child in a toy- shop. Her manner to the servants was gracious conciliatory; this was her domain now, to be conquered and claimed. . They could not stay to dinner; nobody was to know, of course, but they had told Elsie, and they were going there, Blsie was going to give Shirley the jade and pearl necklace--the famous necklace, wasn't that wonderful of her? And then they might go over to the club, later: there was a dance tn- night; and while of course the pap- ers mustn't get this thing until Shirley was at least free, it was going to be great fun just to my- etify a few people and to tell just one or two. | Margaret saw Stan help his promsied wife Into her loose silk coat; her pretty brown eyes were raised to his, as he did so, with an expression of confidence, "appiness and triumph that Margaret could not banish from her thoughts for hours. She had to talk to Stanley's sunt; she had to manage dinner somehow. But at eight o'clock Mrs. Cutting, although expressing her- self as utterly heartbroken and dis- gusted with life, went in next door to play cards, and then Margaret could go upstairs.

But there was nothing for it now but courage.

The hall was filled with Legion members for the occasion, a party from the Oshawa Branch being present to join in the proceedings. President R. M, Cotton occupied the chair, and in addition to six new members being initiated, six more applications for member. ship were received and passed on to the membership committee, After the business of the meet- ing had been transacted, the chairman called om M. Mcintyre Hood, of Oshawa, second vice president of the provincial com- mand, to speak. Comrade Hood gave a glowing description of the growth of the Legion, stating that fourteen new branches had been organized since the Bowmanville branch came into being, and that since November 1 over 800 new members had been admitted to in the town of Simcoe had sent in 115 new applications only a few days ago.

He introduced Comrade Spencer as a zealous worker for the Legion, and as a valued mem- ber of the provineial executive, who would be a splendid asset to the Bowmanville branch, Comrade Spencer, in an inspir- ing address, laid down the ideals of service and sacrifice for which the men now in the Legion went overseas during the war In re- sponse to the call of duty, and urged the members of the branch to keep these ideals still before them in the time of peace. He welcomed the Bowmanville Branch into the Legion, and, in handing over the charter to the president, he expressed the conviction that it would continue to grow, and to be one of the strong branches in the organization In Ontario, He pledged himself to its service, and hoped to be numbered as one of the com- rades of the branch, President Cotton, in a brief re- sponse, received the charter, Rev, F.

Mayor Elliott, who was present, also spoke briefly, ex- bpressing the desire of the town council to be helpful in any way possible to the Legion and to the war veterans as a whole. Before an audience which pack- ed the Opera House the choir of the Boys' Training School present- ed their annual Christmas concert Friday night. As has been the case in past years the citizens of the town turned out in large numbers to patronize the concert which gro- vides a present for each boy at the school at the annual Christ- mas Tree being held this year on December 19, The presentation this year was an operetta entitled "A Trip to Hurope" and portray- ed an imaginary trip on an ocean liner to the old world. The scenes showed the preparations for the trip, the seasick passengers on their first day out, a ship's concert and lastly the return, The whole show was well acted, the choruses well sung and the special stunts were particularly well received. Easily the most appreciated stunt of the evening was the illu- minated clup swinging act under the direction of J. Earl Cunning- ham, The stunt last night showed three boys on the stage each with two clubs with electric in the ends. All lights in the auditorium were put out and just the red lights on the clubs were seen flashing through the alr making a weird but impressive display. It resem- bled somewhat a display of fire- works and it was greeted with such applause that it had to be repeat- ed In its entirety. There were many other fine pers .

This leaves only one criminal case to come before the court for jury trial. When the Court opens Tuesday afternoon a number of applications for naturalization will be present- ed to His Honor, Judge Ruddy, to bo dealt with. The County Court docket shows quite a number of civil actions set down for hearing. Litigations seem to be on the increase in the county, particularly since the ad- vent of the automobile. Every court docket has its grist of actions which are almost invariably the aftermath of automobile aceidents. INDUCTION HAS "BEEN POSTPONED Bishop Is Ill, Officials of All Saints Are Ad- vised Owing to the serious illness of the Right Reverend James Sween- ey, D.D., Lord Bishop of Toronto, the induction of the Rev. E. Ralph Adye, L.Th., the new rector of All Saints' Anglican Church, Whitby, which had been planned for next Tuesday evening, has been indefi- nitely postponed. Church officials were notified to- day, of Bishop Sweeney's illness, and it was stated that no person could see His Lordship, with the result that no other arrangements for the induction could be made. The postponement is naturally dis- appointing to the officials who bad all arrangements for the impressive ceremony in hand, but owing to the Bishop's illness nothing can be done at present. Fortunately, only a few invita. tions for the induction had gone out. Those who received them will be notified by circular of the post- ponement. Announcement will also be made at church services on Sun- day.
