Ayres , Jonathan Corble"s. ardent wish to know Priscilla Marsh was not granted until luck placed him in the path of her runaway hunter. After stopping the runaway horse, he escorted her home to Moorland the newly-rich GF been accepted 8o-. cially by the neighborhood fami- lies, including the blue-blooded but bankrupt Marshes. Priscilla's brother Hugh complimented her on "picking up" young Corbie, saying that her marrying wealth was his only hope as he had raic- ed a check of a man named Daw- son and would go to prison unless fon made good. Priscilla had al- ways shielded Hugh and she de- cided she must lead Jonathan on to propose, but he surprised her by declaring his love. The next day she asked him for £300, enough to get Hugh out of his trouble. Priscilla loved Clive Wes- ton but he had not been in a position to ask her to marry him. The day Jonathan proposed she received a letter from Clive saying he had accepted a better position with a rubber company out in East Africa. He hurried to her and asked her to marry him, but she forced herself to say she did not love him enough. When Jon- athan proposed an early marri- age, Priscilla said her father, a semi-invalid, needed her, and asked if they could not live with him. Jonathan agreed, but anger- ed her when he said he would not live with Hugh. INSTALMENT 13. Priscilla ran upstairs when Jon- athan left and turned on all the lights in her bedroom. Clive Wes- ton's photograph smiled at her from the dresser, and with a strange feeling of delirium she took it from its frame, tore it across and across, and thrust the pieces away at the back of a drawer. She would finish with Clive and with love. Tt was true enough when 'cynics sald it doesn't pay to have a heart. She bathed her eyes and smooth- ed her hair. She colored her lips and powdered her face, peering at herself for a long time in the mir- ror. Then she smiled a little and whispered, "Good-by," before she turned away and went downstairs humming a snatch of song. No- thing mattered any more. She would just take what the good gods offered and march on. She went straight to the tele- phone and called Jonathan. When he answered she laughted a little, as if something amused her. "Oh, is that you? I only wanted to say I'm sorry I was so cross this afternoon." He said something which was un- intelligible, and she went on lightly: "I suppose you wouldn't like to take me out this evening? Up to town? I think I want cheering up." "Why, of course. Where?" "We might have dinner some- where and go to a show--that is, of course, if you'd care to. It's ages since I went to a theatre." It seemed to her that she could feel his amazement, though he only sald again, "Why, of course." "Very well. Will you call for me? I'll be ready in half an hour and wear my prettiest frock." she hung up the receiver she felt a little giddy and excited. She t straight to her father's room. He had not come downstairs at all that day, and was sittifig by a fire readin 2. 'Well, darling!" She bent and kissed his forehead. "I'm going to I'm going up to town with Jonathan." 'The old man took off his glasses and at her anxiously. She looked bright and happy enough, and yet there was something in her manner, something--he could not quite define what it was. He caught her hand and held it. "My dear, are you sure you are quite happy? I've been thinking a great deal about you to-day, and it seems to me that this engagement must be all wrong. You were never mercenary, and if it's for my sake--"" . She interrupted him with a laugh. "For your sake, am I as unselfish as all that?" + But he would not be put off. "Don't pretend to me, Priscilla. always thought--perhaps I was Jone, but that young Weston" Prescilla dragged her hand away. "Darling, you were quite, quite + wrong. Clive and I were just friends, that was all. Now I must run away and dress. I'll come and show you how beautiful I look be- fore I go." She fled to her own room. As she dressed she remembered a fan- tastic siory she had once heard of an unhappily married woman who had given a dinner party the night - after she heard of her husband's . death on the other side of the world. ' "That's what I'm doing," she ! thought defiantly. "Dancing on ' Clive's grave -- dancing on every- thing I ever wanted--" She kept Jonathan waiting ten minutes before she went down to him, radiant in her best evening frock, and with quite a little arti- - ficial color in her cheeks. She saw the swift look of emotion in his .. eyes as they met hers, and in sud- + den mockery she swept him a deep curtsy. "I hope you think I look nice ?" "You look like a princess." She laughed. "I'm sorry 1 was so cross this - afternoon. I'm not often like that, 1 promise. I mean to enjoy myself [glass don't ) 1 love theaters, "1 very seldom go to one." k "Don't you? Well, you'll have to 'take me often. I hope you won't be frightfully bored." + "I will take you anywhere in the 'iworld you like to go." She made a little grimace at him. "That's a rash promise. Help me on with my cloak." {He nad a little clumsily, and his face flushed as his fingers [-/touched her soft skin. | "I hope you haven't brought a - chauffeur," Prisclla said gaily. "It's , 50 much more fun arivme alone." "Im afraid I have. I thought Jowd Mike the big car" There was & vague uneasiness in his eyes. Since he left her that af- ternoon he had been haunted by her tears, by the pathos of her. And now she was completely chang- ed--laughing, happy, béautiful, He followed her out to the car in silence; the big Daimler in which Priscilla had so often seen Mrs. Corbie driving round the country in solitary sta "I really do feel like a princess now," she said lightly as they glided away. "I hope I'm not merely Cin- derella and that when the clock strikes {welve I shall wake up in rags." Jonathan sat beside her, silent and awkward. Priscilla looked at him, and then after a moment she slipped a hand through his arm. "You're not still angry with me? Smile and say you're not angry with me!" "I was never angry. It's only-- you're so different now. I hardly recognize you." "But this is the real me," "he told him. 'I'm not really a silly, weepy person." With a sudden awkward move- ment he. bent and kissed her hand as it lay on his sleeve. He felt it move quickly as if in protest, and he looked up at her. "You're not angry?" She smiled. "No. I think I rath. er like it--as I'm a princess." Then she locked away from him out of the window into the ~dark night, and it seemed to her that once again she could see only a big ship disappearing over the horizon against a gray sky. Jonathan was wise enough not to press the little advantage with Priscilla he had gained. He sat back again and began to talk on ordinary matters. "I managed to get a box at the Palace. I tried several other thea- tres first but they had nothing left. It's a musical show, you know." "That will suit me splendidly," | Priscilla said gaily. She was not | very fond of musical comedy, but | to-night she felt it would be better | than a serious play--there would be | something to laugh at, no doubt. "I thought we might have some- | thing to eat at the 'Savoy Grill | first," Jonathan went on hesitat- | ingly. "Then we could go some- | where after the show and have sup- per." He looked at her with faint | apology. "I suppose you won't be- lieve me when I tell you that it is almost the first time I have taken a woman out like this." She laughed lightly. "Almost the first time! There have been others, then?" He answered quite seriously. "1 have taken my cousin to one or two plays. She stays with "us some- times. She's quite a nice girl Quiet. You probably wouldn't care for her." "I care for most people if they will let me. I like lots of friends You must let me meet her." "She lives in the north," he ex- plained. "We have not seen a great deal of her since--" He broke off, but Priscilla knew what he had been going to say--'since we grew weal- thy." "You must ask her down to stay," she told him. It was a new thrill for Priscilla to drive up to the Savoy in the Corbies' handsome car; it was al- most like stepping over the thres- hold of a new world. She was. de- termined to make the most of it. Of what use to look back, and regret things? She tried only to think of all that lay in the future. With Jonathan's money she could go everywhere and see everything. Italy, Switzerland, Monte Carlo, Austria -- all the places she had dreamed about and longed to visit. She was amused because Jona- than seemed & little shy of his sur- roundings. She did not know that had he been free to choose he tentious Soho cafe where the wait- ers knew him, and he could drink ale out of a tankard. His visits to London had never been very frequent, and always of a Bohemian nature, but he was quite willing to do anything and go to any place that Priscilla wished. It was happiness enough to see her opposite him, and to know that 1|some day soon she would be his wife. It was still like a dream to him from which every day he dreaded to be awakened, and yet it was reality enough--ge big diamond he had given her flashed on her slen- der hand ("I could live on what that cost for a year," Hugh had grumbled when he first saw it) and when she met his eyes it was witk quiet friendliness and understand- ing. He knew she did not love him, but he was content to wait. Some day she would be forced to return his love for her. Priscilla made him decide what they should eat. The waiter proved himself tactfully helpful, managing to leave Jonathan with the convic- tion that he himself had made a personal selection. Jonathan was more successful with the wine--apparently he knew something about champagne. "We must celebrate as it's the first time we've dined together," he said. The champagne helped Priscilla tremendously. She began to feel that life was not so disappointing after all and that there was a fu- ture for her, even without Clive Weston. She toasted Jonathan with bright eyes over the rim of her "Here's my love," she said light. y. He flushed a little, but only an- swered gravely, "And all mine." Priscilla looked, around the crowded room. She almost wished she might see some one she knew At the back of her mind was an absurd liitle childish pleasure in her new venture. She knew she look- inexpensive, and she knew there as something about Jonathan that compelled attention. He was not good looking, but he was a | personality, a man who could not enter a room without creating an impression. "I thought 'it was you, & voice said beside Priscilia," ed well, even though her dress was | that | f would have gone to some unpre- | raised startled eyes to the face of _& man who had just left a table in 'a corner {o come across to her.' 'Why Harry---" She introduced Jonathan. "And whatt are you doing. i London?" she asked. "1 tho you were up in Scotland kil poor little birds." * Harry Simmonds laughed. Pou always hated me for that, didn't you? Well, as a matter ot fact, 1 came down only this morning to see Weston ofl." There was a faint- ly unhappy flicker in his eyes. He sailed today, you know." "I know." She managed to smile. "I sent him a wire. 1 do hope he'll be lucky now, don't you?" Simmonds shrugged his shoulders. "He deserves to be. Life hasn't been too kind to him lately. He's one of the best." There was a little silence. Pris cilla was trying hard to think otf something to say, something ordin- ary and natural, but she felt tonguetied and almost stupid. She was painfully conscious of Jona- than's big person, and his grave, watchful eyes. It was Simmonds who broke the silence. "Well, I'll go back to my table I thought I must just come and say a word. You're looking well, Priscilla." "I am very well, thank you. Then with an effort she forced her- self to speak of her engagement "I ought to be if I'm not." she said. "I've just taken the serlous step of engaging myself to Mr. Cor- bie." The most unobservant onlooket could not fail to have noticed the change Ir Simmonds' demeanor. He seemed to stiffen a little anu his eyes were unfriendly as he turned to Jonathan. "Is that so? Congratulations, I'm sure." There were a few more desultory remarks, and then he moved away. When they were alone agalp Jonathan asked casually, "Who was that chap? 1 didn't catch hi name." « "Simmonds. Harry Simmonds He was at Cambridge with Hugh." "And the man he spoke of- Weston, was it?" (To be continued) MAY ENDEAVOR T0 STOP SALE OF HOMES FOR TAXES (Cuntivued 1 from page 1) J. Flavelle, following similar s zestions put forward from floor of the meeting, stated, "I think the best thing we can do is If this does we should members of council, not get results then attend the safes, and stop them. force or rioting, but we shall have to organize in gome way and put a stop to these sales, otherwise there will not be one of in a short time."

Other engineers wao were called stated that it was fooish to try to obtain water from ¢ deep well when the nature of the under soil was considered. It was risky, they said, to go ahead in the face of a test hole sarvey only when large springs were in existence only a short distance away that could be developed with little cost, and offered a guaranteed supply. Members ol the council of Col- borne testified as to the method employed in obtaining the plain- tiff ag a consulting engineer and also as to his conduct while cu the job. On several occasions only had he been at the test holes and the council had tried to have him come to the village, but had not been able to locate him. It was stated that Dallyn had convinced them that the springs should not be considered as it would cost too much money to develop them. This was said alter he had seen the springs, it was stated. Argument of Counsel Argument of counsel for the plaintiff and defence took up al- most two hours, during which time Mr. Anger for the plaintiif tried to establish that his client had peen justified in advising the deep well system of supply on the finding of the test drilling.
