PAGE TWO © tin VHC SAL I IR AT THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1932 rites AR EI "Ex-Fiancee" by Ruby M. Ayres Synopsis of preceding instalments: 'nathan Corbie's newly rich father sent him to Cambridge. At 21, he was 'a dreamer and he disappoint- ed his diamond be-decked mother because he did not dress smartly. Mrs. Corbie had never been ac- cepted by the neighborhood fam- ilies, including the Marshes, blue- 'blooded but bankrupt. Jonathan had long admired pretty Priscilla Marsh at a distance. By a lucky chance he was nearby when her hunter bolted. He stopped the runaway and Priscilla insisted that she accompany her home so her father might thank him, Mr. Marsh was absent and afjer Jona- than had left Priscilla's brother Hugh complimented her on "pick- ing up" their young neighbor, say- ing that his only hope lay in her marrying wealth as he had raised a check of a man named Dawson and would be sent to jail unless he made good. Hugh met Jona- than's father, told him of the run- away incident and invited the Corbies to dinner. That day Pris cilla received an enthusiastic let- ter from Clive Weston saying that he had gotten a better position with a rubber company out in East Africa. She phoned Jonathan, asking him to call so her father could thank him. Mr. Marsh, a semi-invalid, soon left them alone, and Priscilla, with Hugh's plight in mind, decided she must make the sacrifice. She told Jonathan they must be friends. "I've been thinking that for weeks --months," Jonathan said quietly. "Ever since I first saw you--every time I've seen you. Perhaps you'll think I'm mad, too, but I've often gone miles out of my way just to see you pass. I've often waited hours on the chance of seeing you. I don't understand women, Miss Marsh. I'm afraid of them. And they don't like me, or understand me, but with you--if I wasn't sure you would think I am presumptuous, I would say to you now, this moment, will you marry me ? There is no other woman I have ever wanted for my wife. There never will be." He broke off suddenly, and there was a profound silence. Priscilla sat leaning a little for- ase, her lips parted, staring at She had thought it would be so difficult, so preposterous, and after all it was so absurdly easy. Six hours ago she had never spoken to this man, hardly knew him by sight, and now he was ask- ing her to be his wife, An insane desire to laugh took possession of her, to cry out, "Oh, you fool, you poor fool I" And then as suddenly she felt that she must weep; that she must fall at his feet, and sob out all her misery and fear, tell him the truth, and ask him to be her friend indeed and help her, A big log fell apart in the wide, old-fashioned grate. It sent up a sudden flame that illustrated the room and showed her Jonathan's face, & little pale and set but with the same steady kindliness in his eyes--oh, and something else, too, something that was surely love, love and a great humility. He spoke again in that same quiet voice. "1 Know it must seem presumptu- ous to you. I know you can't ever give me a thought except, perhaps, some day in kindly friendship. But I could no more help telling you that I Jove you than I can help breathing." She found her voice then, though it was hardly more than a whisper. "But--~you don't know me--noth- ing about me--nothing." Jonathan made a sudden step forward, and bending took the hand "that lay on her lap, holding it in his own firm clasp. "lI know you are the woman I want for my wife." .. She sat very still, her eyes on the hand that held hers, and suddenly she began to tremble. She felt so mean, so unspeakably mean. It seemed amazing to her that he could not guess how she was acting--fooling him, while he -- no need to tell her that he was sin- cere, that he meant every word he said. There was nothing but shame in her heart; shame and great long- ing to be as honest with him as he had been with her. The sudden gleam of firelight had died down so that they were again in the shadows. "People will laugh at you--at me," she said in a shaken voice. "They will say it is just your momey I want." - "And I shall laugh, too," hé an- swered, "and say that I don't care what it i you want as long as I get you." She drew her hand away and stood up, facing him, desperately. "And if it is--only your money ?" For an instant he hesitated, then he sald gently, "I am not. vain en- ough to think you could love me as I love you." * She gave a little sob that broke on a laugh, "You are worthy of some one so much better than I am." There was a little swaying move- ment of his big body, and she felt his hands on her shoulders. "Does that mean--you will marry me ?" She closed her eyes. "It is such a big risk--for you." Jonathan laughed. "Not too big," he said, and then he after a moment, "I take the risk, Priscilla, if you will let me." And he bent and kissed her. * 5 + = Priscilla sat up half the night try- ing to write to Clive Weston, The big, old-fashioned bedroom was cold. Fires were a luxury at the Moorland House except where they were absolutely essential. Priscilla had wrapped herself in a fur coat that had seen its best days. It was very quiet everywhere now, Two hours ago Hugh . had come home, a little noisy and excited, "Well, did he come ?" "I don't know what you mean." "I mean the night errant. I had "enough to persuade the Guv'nor ask him, so don't say he wouldn't ome," i ' "What do you mean, Hugh ?" Hugh frowned. "You're not gen- erally so stupid. What did you think I was doing in the library this eve ening, if I wasn't bullying the old man into being polite to our self- made neighbor ?" "You mean--if it hadn't been for you--> "Corbie wouldn't have been ask- ed, of course. I told the old man that it was just as well to be friends with the devil, seeing that one never knew how soon he might be one's landlord, as it were." He yawned. "Well, did he come ?" "Yes," sald Priscilla, She wondered why she had not recognized her brother's. hand in this; why she had not guessed that even her father's gratitude to Jona- than would not have driven him to the lengths of asking .him to the house. Hugh laughed complacently, then his eyes caught his sister's face and he was momentarily silent. "Darn it all," he bursted out after a moment. "There's no need to look so tragic about it. The fellow could be made quite preSentable if he got into the hands of a decent tailor." Priscilla said nothing; there seem- ed no words to express her thoughts just then. Hugh went on: "Well, that's the thin edge of the the way for you very well." "Don't you mean for yourself ?" his sister asked in a quiet little voice. He shrugged his shoulders. "It isn't only my bread the Corbie wedge, I suppose. I think I paved WARM SPRINGS' WARM WELCOME TO ROOSEVELTS An enthusiastic crowd welcomed President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt to Warm Springs, Ga., where he maintains a cottage, and he assured them that the cares of the Presidency would not prevent his annual visits to the health colony he helped to cstablish in the Interests of fellow infantile paraly. sis victims. With Mrs. Roosevelt (right) and their dsaghter, Mrs. Curtis Dall, the President-elect is shown above receiving the greeting of his adopted home.

She turned then and faced him. might care for some other man ?' His 'eyes fell before her gaze. "Care! Care!" he said irritably. does it last if you do 'care' as you call it ? If you mean Clive Weston, he hasn't a shilling in the world and never will have. I thought you had too much sense to take that affair seriously." "But not too much sense to take your affairs seriously." his eyes. "I'm too tired to argue. You'll think differently tomorrow. Love in a cottage isn't your style, though you may think it is, my dear." He came to her and put an arm round her waist. "I'm looking after your interests as much as you think you're looking after mine, and some day youll say thank you." She shivered away from him. "Yes," he continued, "some day when you're Mrs. Jonathan Corbie." There was a faint sneer in his voice "Mrs. Jonathan Corbie with half a million pounds behind you. By God, won't you make the country sit up ? You'll thank me, all right." "In that case, you might as well thank me now," Priscilla said. He stared at her, very wide awake, "What do you mean ?" "Only that I've 'pulled it off, as you call it, already," she said with a little hysterical laugh. "Fm more clever than you thought I was--far more clever. Jonathan Corbie ask- éd me to marry him this evening." There was a profound silence which Hugh broke almost rudely. "Rubbish !" She shook her head. "No. It's the truth." He stared at her disbelievingly ; then gave a low chuckle. "You're speaking the truth. Pris- cilla, you're an angel. I'll never for- get what you've done for me. How in the world did you manage it? The fellow must be a lunatic. Why, you never spoke to him until today. How in the world--" "Please go away," Priscilla said. "But, my dear girl--" "Please go away." "Priscilla." Then he shrugged his shoulders and obeyed. She heard him go whistling along the wide corridor as if he had not a care in the world. Not one word of thanks. i Priscilla sat down at her writi: desk. She was cold from head to foot; she felt as if every drop of blood in her body had turned to ce. Perhaps that was something to be thankful for. It saved her from feeling, from suffering. She took up her pen and stared at the blank paper before her. Clive's letter lay at her elbow, but there was no need to read it again. She knew every word of it. --many of the men in the company have their wives with them-- Well, she would never be his wife; never go to the man she loved. And he was going next week; sev- en more days and then the silence of eternal separation would fall ke- tween them. She dipped the pen in the ink. must write something, must answer his letter somehow--must say good-by. "Dear Clive--"' She wrote those two words and | no more. She knew no words in which she could bid him farewell, nor make him understand. It seemed such an absurd situa- tion. Surely the days were past when daughters sacrificed themsely- | es for their father: and brothers. One reads of such things in books-- old fashioned books. If she told Clive the truth perhaps would laugh, too; laugh at the very idea of her throwing away all her hopes of happiness with him | for the sake of some one as utterly worthless as Hugh. That admission caught her by the throat; it was the first time she had ever allowed "Has it ever occurred %o you that | "I'm sick of that word. How long | He stood up, yawning and rubbing ! "RARE PARROTS LIVE IN SECURITY : IN ENGLAND'S UNIQUE AVIARY |". invented at Notre Dame Univer- | sity. | Prof. James A. Reyniers, pro- fessor of bacteriology at the uni- versity, described the device that ie was perfecting for practical purposes béfore the 4Sth annual meeting of the Indiana Academy cf Science. The instrument for geparating | minute bacteria was known as { the miero-manipulator, Reyniers said. and would enable physicians to make a quick diagnosis of cer- tain diseases. It consists of minute pipettes, from two to five microns in dia- meter. A micron is 1-25,000 of an inch. That's the average size of a healthy bacterium. One merely has to press a but- ton, he said, and the pipettes go in and isolate one bacterium from a field of millions. "The practical application of this instrument for the present," Reyniers declared, "Is its ability to make possible the pure strains, or pure culture bacteria. It is purcly a instrument at present." of | London.--Situated within a short | distance of a highway along which | hundreds of motorists pass daily, in la beautiful Kentish valley, ap Kes- ton, to be exact, is Britain's exotic commercial enterprise far as is known, it is the only of its sort in the world; it is a rot farm, one par- Here a long row of aviaries house Australian birth or ancestry.

The decrease in the landed value was $110, 337. Total landings amounted 19,282,400 pounds valued at £218,109, compared with 19,- 716,900 pounds valued at $328.- 445 during the same month last year, In order of value the chief va- rieties landed were cod, haddock, oysters, lobsters and smelts, of which only the haddock showed an increase in both catch and landed value. This increase was argely due to the Nova Scotia catch. An increase also was noted in the north-eastern part of New Brunswick. Cod fell off 301,600 pounds, a loss of $17,176. The decrease wos due to the slump in the north- eastern part of New Brunswick where high winds handicapped the fishermen. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick showed increased catches. Oysters decreased slightly, due to the falling off in the catch of the north-eastern part of New Erunswick. Fewer lobsters were landed, and the value was only about one-third of the return for Octo- ber last year. The smelt catch increased in Nova Scotia but fell off in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Is- land.

"And that," commented Presi- dent William Green, as differ- ences between two New York union groups were aired at the Federation's convention "was eight years ago, or more." The dispute is over the manu- facturing jurisdiction in' that lately lucrative field of felt hats. Hatters Disagree "Felt hats," chorused members of the United Hatters of North America, "come under the head of our business." "Not," retorted the cloth hat, cap and millinery workers of the International Union, "if we can help it. The job is ours." It seems, the president ex- plained, that women liked their hats "big and flowery, until sev- eral years ago." It also seems, that as long as woman's whim took that turn. the United Hatters and the cloth hat, cap and millinery workers had no differences they could not settle all hv themselves, "But then," Green said, 'the women started taking to these little felt hats"--and there the difficulties started. Peace is in sight however. The groups agreed to have their presi- dents each name 'three renre- sentative labor men' from which President Green will pick two and add a third as a committee to settle the dispute by arbitra- tion. Five Day Week A resolution urging an amend- ment to the Federal constitution to provide for a five-day and a six-hour day was the convention today. The resolution, one of a score of proposals submitted by dele- before who was undecided, tossed a penny and the boy won and went out, after being told to be back ; in half-an-hour.

It was proposed following a declaration of the executive coun- cil for shorter hours. 4 Though no specific recom- mendation was made by the coun- cil, President Green in his open- ing address said the United States faces the alternatives of the 30-hour week or the task of feeding a permanent army of millions of unemployed. Scores of proposals designed to solve labors' ills poured in as the deadline was reached last night for presenting resolutions. Committees worked into the early morning on suggestions for labor legislation. One, declaring that the de- velopment of machinery was fast lowering the age limit of work- ers, favored establishment of an old age pension. Another, by Florence Hanson, delegate from the Federation of Teachers, ask- ed not only condemnation of sal- ary cuts for teachers, but re- auested the convention to declare itself against retrenchment in school funds. He: "What did you do last night?" She: "Well, I often wondered where the sun went down at night and I stayed up and it fin- ally dawned on me."
