THE. OSHAWA. DAILY-TIMER . FRIDAY .DEAEMAER.2. 1037 THE. OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1932 PAGE TWO © 1 "Ex-Fiancee" by Ruby M. Ayres ¥ n MEER RR By of preceding instalments: Jonrthan Corble, just graduated from Cambridge, had been forced to cdmire Priscilla Marsh from there had always been tLe bogey c: worry and striving and uncertainty; a bogey which this man stalking contentedly beside her would be able afar until luck placed him in the [to banish path of her runaway hunter. He stopped the bolting horse and es- corted her home to Moorland House to which the newly-rich Corbies had never been inyited. They had not been accepted by the neighborhood families, includ- ing the Marshes, biue-blooded but bankrupt. Priscilla's brother Hugh complimented her on picking up young Corbie, adding that his on- ly hope lay in her marrying 'wealth as he raised a check of a man named Dawson and would go to prison unless he made good. [ed Priscille loved Clive Weston. That day she received a letter from him saying he had accepted a better position with. a rubber company out in East Africa. With Hugh's plight in mind, Priscilla phoned Jonathan, asking him to call so her father might thank him for stopping the runaway, and when he arrived she decided she must lead him on to propose. Jonathan surprised her by declaring his love. She tried to be honest with him but he replied that he would make her love him. She tore up several 'etters to Weston, finally writing that she knew he would be busy getting ready to sail and not to bother to come to say good-bye unless he was sure he had time. The next day she forced herself to ask Jonathan for three hundred pounds, enough to get Hugh out of his trouble. INSTALMENT 8 Strange that there was no other men Priscilla cared for -- or was there ? The thought was like a flame, suddenly searing Jonathan's heart. Some penniless fellow per- ha His face looked almost ugly ..; he stood frowning out at the garden. He could hear anything but that she loved some one else. Then presently he heard her come into the room again he turned swiftly. "There is something I want to ask you" ° "Yes 2" She had fought the smiles back to her face again; she looked almost serene. "I promise to tell you--whatever it is." But she had not dreamed what it was he meant to ask her. "There isn't--is there--any other fellow you care for? I won't say more than me, because I know you can't care for me at all, but is there any one else--if he had my money?" | Bluntly put, but Jonathan was no juggler with words. He felt as if his whole life depended on the next few moments and on her answer. Did her eyes fall ? Or was it his imagination that for a moment she closed her lids to veil them from him ? Before he could be sure she was smiling again. "Nobody, I'm afraid. I'm not a very romantic person." "Thank you." He belfeved her just as he would + have believed anything she told him, and the little flame died down in his heart. She was free for him to love; to make her love him. "Well, shall we go ?" he said. She was grateful to him for at- tempting no demonstration of affec- tion, though as she walked beside him across the garden in her heart she was saying angrily: "Fool! Fool !" and then in sudden remorse: "But a kind fool--a good fool--too good for me." : Jonathan kept their conversation to personal matters. He told her about his life, how lonely he had always been, how difficult he had always found it to make friends. "Even at school--and afterward up at Cambridge. I don't think I'm 2 man's man, and as I'm certainly not a woman's man I don't quite know what I am." She laughed at that. There was something so naive and boyish about him in spite of his size, "You'll be different now," she told him. "I want you to like people; I want people to like you. You're too serious. You want to laugh and think that life is just a joke--" He looked down at her gravely. "Do you think it is ?" he asked. ' gd Shrugeed Ber shoulders, "I 50. 1 "wn broke off. i Lac "Yes. If you didn't 2" he repeat- "Well, it would be difficult to through," she said. "I suppose io all have our troubles--" "I hope that yours are over," he Bp wered ie looked up at hi iy p m with a little "You're a very brave man, or a very foolish one." They walked a little way in sil- ence. "This once used to be such a beau- tiful place," she said with sudden irrelevance. "I can remember when I was a child--" "It's beautiful now," he broke in. "It's old, and I love things that are old. They seem to have something to tell you. Not like new bricks and mortar that haven't any history," ~ "But your home is a wonderful." she said generously, "Hugh says it's the finest place anywhere around." "It all depends on what one likes." "Don't you like it ?" He shook his head. "No more than you will -- when you ses it." "How can you tell what I like 2" "Perhaps because I see more than you give me credit for seeing." She laughed. "What does that mean ?" © She found him easier in this mood; perhaps things would not be | 80 difficult, after all. I A watery sun was peeping through the cloud-filled sky, turn the _countryside to gold, and scilla felt her spirits rise, 8he had so much to be thankful 'for--when she did not think of | Clive, Her brother was safe, and her own future assured. Not that she cared a great deal for that, She had never fond life the joke she would have had Jonathan believe; It seemed unfair that money should be such a power in the scheme of life, and yet it was; it had the power to give her the only happiness she craved, and it was withheld. Next week Clive would have sailed for the other side of the world--out of her life. "You are very serious," Jonathan said, and she woke with a start and a little laugh to say that at the mo- ment she had many serious things to consider. "Of which I am one," he suggest- "Of course you are a very large one," she agreed. There was a vaguely troubled note in her voice, and he said, struck with a sudden thought: "You aren't afraid of me?" "Afraid ?" She considered the question gravely. "Perhaps I am--- just a little," she admitted. He stood still. They were in a de- serted part of a country lane where the trees with their almost leafless boughs met overhead. "I hope you'll never need to be afraid of me," he said, very earnest- ly. "I loved you when I first :*w you. I would give my life for you." She answered wistfully. "Some day you may change." "If ever 1 do, that will be time enough to begin to be afraid of me," he said. They walked back over the fields, and at the gate Priscilla stopped "Don't come in with me now. Come to dinner to-night--if you care to.' She smiled up at him. "You won't get such a good dinner as I am sure your own cook can give you, but you will be very welcome." She walked slowly up to the house, her old weariness and misgiving de- scending upon her again now that | she was alone. It seemed such mad- ness, such a gamble with her whole life, and yet she was sure that Jon- athan was a man to trust, a man who would be good and kind. The only trouble was that it was [not what she wanted--that he was not the man she wanted. "I'm a coward," she told herself. | "He is taking as big a risk as I am." | But she knew the risk was not quite so big for him, because he loved her | while she loved some one else, Hugh met her in the doorway. He looked faintly uneasy. "Where have you been ?" he ask- d. She met his eyes with faint irony' in her own. i "I've been out--walking with Jon- athan Corbie." "Oh !" His face changed a little; | he followed her into the hall as she | passed him. "Wait a minute !" He | caught her hand and detained her. "Clive Watson's in the library," he | said. If Hugh Marsh had been capable of such a thing as remorse he mu:t have felt it as he stood holding his sister's hand and looking into her face, which had gone suddenly white. She had come in from her walk a , little flushed, with eyes that were almost serene, and it was as if in a flash some one had passed a hand across her face, wiping out every- thing but a great dread. Her lips moved, but no word came from them, and Hugh said with a touch of impatience: "He's not staying. He's in a hurry --just come to say good-by. --just come to say good-by. Says | he can't even stay to lunch." "I--see." Priscilla drew her hand from his, and began to fumble with the buttons of her coat. "Ill just take this off." She slipped out of it aud stood staring vaguely before her till Hugh | said almost sharply. "Here, give it to me." ) He almost snatched the coat from | her. Why did she want. to look £0 | tragic ? he asked himself irritably. Weston was such an ordinary chap, ! Why in the world Priscilla had ever seen anything in him at all was amazing. But you never knew what | foolishness a woman would be cap- | able of next. One comfort--the fel- low was going away. He turned on his hee! with a shrug, and Priscilla crossed the | hall to the library. It had never occurred to her that | Clive would come down until he re- | ceived a reply to his letter. She felt as if she was walking in her sleep as she opened the door and saw him standing with his back to the fire Just as Jonathan had been an hour or two ago. ' She forced herself to greet him: "This is r surprise. I've just written to you." He came forward in a quick stride; a hig, healthy-looking man with eag/r eyes and a ready smile that was just now a litfle nervous and uncertain. "I couldn't wait. The time is so short, shorter than I believed when I wrote you. I got a letter from the company this morning. I am to go by an earlier boat--on Friday. It doesn't give a chap muc.. tinge." He was holding both her hands. "How are you, Priscilla ?" i "Very well, thank you. And you ?" | He laughed. "Well, a' the moment I'm not quite sure if I'm on my head or my heels, Everything has hap- pened so quickly. A week ago it was all so much in the air. I hadn't any real hope of being chosen for the job at all, and then like a bolt from the blue the news came-----" 'You never told me anything abou it." "I was afraid to. I've hoped so often before and been disaprointed, You got my letter ?" ! "Yesterday. I wrote to you and.' posted it this morning." ! 8he moved away from him and sat down on the arm of the big! chair. "It's good news, Clive." { His face changed a little. "Do you ig 50 ? East Africa's a long way She forced herself to smile. "Not! nowadays. The world's getting 80, small, and you always wanted to' travel," oy "Yes" He looked a litle, down-, cast, almost as if she was disap-i la few | zuests of Mrs. | family, | wa, visited his sister, Mrs. Lloyd | funeral on Tuesday of the | Mr. H.
