PAGE TWO HIRE wr THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1932 Ey. ? ii , CE i ae EN a i AIA so ' Be Es LAAN A 1 LA JULES SAUER IRE - "Ex-Fiancee" by Ruby M. Ayres Synopsis of preceding instalments: The newly-rich Corbies had not been accepted ilies, incl bankrupt Marshes, but luck p! Jonathan Corbie in the path of Pris- cjila pd runaway hunter. After stopp! © runawa por her home to Moorland House and her brother Hugh compliment- ed her on "picking up" young Cor- bie, just graduated from Camb. Hugh said her marrying wealth was his only hope as he had raised a check of 8 man named Dawson and would go to prison unless he made good. Priscilla had always shielded Hugh and she decided she must lead Jonathan on to propose, but he sur- prised her by declaring his love. The next day she asked him for three hundred pounds, enough to get Hugh out of his irouble, la loved Clive Weston. The day Jona- than proposed Clive accepted a bet- ter position with a rubber company out in East Africa, hurried to her, and asked her to marry him. She forced herself to say she did not love him enough. While she and Jonathan were dining in London, Harry Simmonds came to their table. Weston off on his steamer. Later Jonathan asked her who Weston was. INSTALMENT 14° "Yes--another man who was with Mr. Simmonds and Hugh at Cam- bridge. He sailed to-day for East Africa--" and then, with the dread- ful feeling that she could bear no further questioning, Friscilla rush- ed on--, "I've always wanted to go to East Africa--it must be wond- erful. Men are so much luck!er than women, aren't they ? They can get about wherever they like." Jonathan's steady eyes met hers. "I'll take you some day. I should like to go there myself." Her cheeks were a little flushed and her eyes very bright. "If ever I win the Celcutta sweep or get a lot of meney I'll go round the world at once." "You need not wait for that," he said. "Need not----oh, of course !" She leaned back in her chair with the feeling that she had been behaving foolishly, talking to this man as if he were the merest acquaintance. "Sometimes I forget I'm engaged to you," she said almost defiantly. "Evin though, just now, you told Simmonds it was a serious step 2?" "That was only in fun." He leaned his arms on the table and looked at her. "But it is ser- ious, Priscilla--to me, anyhow. You've made yourself responsible for me during these last few days, and you must not let me down." She tried 40 laugh. "You're get- ting tragic, and I'm sure we ought to go." "The coffee is just coming." His sudden seriousness had gone as quickly as it had come; and Priscilla found herself wondering if those words had been just in her imagination and that he had never really spoken them: "You must not let me down." Well, she had no intention of let- ting him down, and yet there was a - faint apprehension in her heart. "You've made yourself responsible for me." It was as if with those words he had nailed her to her promise. She was glad when they were in the theater with its many lights and cheerful music. She leaned forward around at the crowded house. A girl in the front row of the pit at- * tracted her eye. She was young and pretty and her face was vivid with happiness, There was a young man beside her, and they talked and laughed together, oblivious of ev- ery one Se. How she envied that girl, shab- bily dressed as she was! She felt her eyes filling with tears as she glanced at Jonathan Corble; He was sitting well back in the box, screened from view of the house. He was leaning a little fc - ward, his big hands folded loosely between his knees. Priscilla looked at those hands and wondered if perhaps the cousin he had told her about from the north, had ever | mood longed to slip hers into them, if perhaps she loved Jmathan. Well, why not? Priscilla knew that he was worth loving, that with him some woman could surely find a great peace and happiness -- if there was nobody else whom she Joye with her whole heart and Jonathan spoke suddenly--almost as if he could follow the trend of her thoughts. "What is your friend Wes ing in East Africa 2" on doe The unexpectedness of the ques- tion was a shock. She felt that she lost color, and for a moment she could find no answer. Then she managed to smile, "I don't know--some rubber com- pany--I forget what." She opened the program. "He was more Hugh's friend than mine," she added, and Tae Lated herself for her disloy- of her body relaxing. onathan was not going to be so as she had believed. Ben:zath his quiet exterior there was a great deal of masterful strength. He was dom to the woman he mean: to marry. . .Bhe was sorry he knew about Hugh, and his many difficulties, al- though in a way it simplified mate ters. It did away with her guilty feelin; that she was engaged to him under false pretenses. And if he was content to know--well, it was not her fault, She roused herself and tried to take an interest in the play, but she was conscious now that her head ached, and that it was on in- creasing cffort to keep up that pre- tence of light-hearted happiness. When the curtain fell on the first act, Jonathan stood up. "Would you like to go out ?" She rose eagerly. "Oh, yes! We can have a cigarette." They went out into the foyer where the chatter and crowd around them helped her. She looked at Jonathen with fresh courage. What was there to be afraid of? "It wu:ld be easy to manage this man because he loved her so well. He sald he had just seen | With sudden bravado she slipped a hand into his, She felt his sud- den start and saw the color deepen in Ls dark face, and a wave of triumph went through her. She had nothing to fear. His love for her was the weak link in his armor. It was Mrs. Corbie who a week later informed Priscilla that she had ridge. |a niece from the north coming to stay with her. She shut the door carefully before she her news, and added mysteriously: "My husband doesn't .care about her visiting us now very much, though in the old days she spent a lot of time with us" She sighed. s are different, and I dare say he's right. Lena's a very home- ly girl and doesn't seem Quite to fit in with this house, but I can't for- get that she's my only brother's child. He was a buflder--in quite a2 small way, of course, but he left 2 nice little bit of money for Lena when he died. Not as my husband counts money of course, my dear, but Lena will never starve nor have to work, and that's something to be thankful for." "It is indeed," Priscilla agreed. Mrs. Corbie went on: "I always had my own ideas that Lena liked Jonathan--not that there's anything to be jealous of---" "I shouldn't think of being jeal- ous," Priscilla said, checking a smile. Hs shall be very pleased to meet er." "She's not your sort, my dear," Mrs. Corbie half apologized. "Being as I said homely, and not at cll good looking, but looks aren't ev- erything. She's a good girl, always been kind and affectionate to me, so when she wrote and invited her- that it was our duty to have her. She's anxious to meet you, she says." "About you and Jonathan ? course I did. I told her how pleased I was, and how happy Jonathan was." Priscilla said rather wistfully, "Do you think he really 1s happy ? She felt she needed conviction. "If Pe isn't then he ought to be," his other retorted briskly. "He's got what he wanted, hasn't he? And what more can any of us ask ?" She touched Priscilla's hand af- fectionately. "I know youll be '.'nd to her. She'll feel a bit strange with you at first." "I'll do my best," Priscilla promis- =, but she felt a little apprehen- sive, Something told her that this cous- in was in love with Jonathan, and that therefore she could not feel too happy about his engagement. She wondered how she herself would feel if Clive--but no, that was a forbid- den subject. She had schooled her- self so resolutely never to think of Clive. She spoke of Lena to Jonathan when she was with him again, "We'll go and meet her, shall we ? Can't we take the car up to Town and meet her ?" He looked a little surprised. "Would you really care to ?" "Of course. " always think it's so nice to be met--especially when you'v. come a long journey." "V.ry well" His eyes softened, "Nobody but you would have thought of such a kind thing, prin- cess." Just lately he had taken to eall- ing Priscilla "Princess," and it al- ways touched her and made her feel a little ashamed. "Why do you call me that ?" shel asked him once, and he answered: "Because you have always seemed like a princess to me. Before I knew you I used to look at the Moorlan House and it seemed like a castle where a fairy princess lived." Hi broke off to add in embarrassment: "You will laugh at me." "Oh, no." She Aways liked him best in this seemed young, almost like a boy with whom she could laugh and be friendly. It was the grave, silent man in him that she vaguely feared. It was when she had dardadofa It was when she and Jonathan were driving to London to meel Lena that he said abruptly: "Will you marry me next month, Princess ?" "Next month ?" Priscilla was startled. "Why this hurry?" she asked lightly. "Is it & hurry ? I think I've been very patient." Priscilla laughed. "Do you know how long we've been engaged 2" she as] "Yes, Just three weeks and four: days " "It's no time at all. Some people are engaged for years," "I am not 'some people.' " She saw the obstinate lines creep- ing into his face, heard the impa- tience in his voice, and she said | soothingly, "We gee. I don't know what father will say." i "You can't always consider him. I come first." "That's unkind, Jonathan." ! "It's the truth," he persisted. "Yc don't love me--~you're not even fond of me. If you were--" He broke off, but Priscilla knew what he had been going to say. "If you were, you'd marry me to-morrow." . That wat the truth, too. If it had been Clive-- in to the big terminus now, and there was no time for more words, but Priscilla knew it was not the end of the dis- cussion. She knew, too, that she would have to face the fact of her marriage; that Jonathan had a per- fect right to ask her to make it soon. When the train came in Jonathan said almost at once, "There rhe is ----she's got a brown hat." Priscilla laughed. Lena evidently meant nothing to him if all he saw of her was a brown hat. She was conscious of a little thrill of excite ment as she followed him through the crowd. And yet Lena was not nearly so ordinary as she had been led to suppose. That was Priscilla's first thought as she shook hands 'with one who regarded her with calm eyes that in some yague way re minded her a little of Jonathan's. She was rather small, below mid- dle height, and she was plainly bu' not dowdily dressed. Her face was pale, and her eyes a deep brown. She had a firm mouth, a little too firm, perhaps, lines which in the fu- ture often turn to sourness, and o slightly retrouse nose. "But she's not insignificent," Pris cilla thought. "It was kinc of you to come and meet me," Lena said to Jonathan. After their first greeting she had not spoken to. Priscilla, "It wa: Priscilla who suggested it," Jonathan said uncompromising- ly, end Lena said impartially, "Oh, was it? That was kind of her." She sat next to Priscilla on the way home, but she talked to Jona- than. Sk~ told him little bits of news in which he did not seem at all interested; she spoke of people of whom Prisclila had never heard, and she asked dutifully after her aunt and uncle. ° Priscilla felt a little exasperated. She had not expected this girl to like her, but she thought she might have made a better pretense of friendliness. . When they neared home she: said suddenly: "Drop me at the Moor- land House first, will you, Jonathan? I promised father to be in for tea." To her surprise he raised no ob- jection. . "I'll see you again this evening," he sald, for it had been that Priscilla was to dine with the Corbles, She turned away, feeling e little depressed. It gave her a curious sensation of desertion as the big car drove away into the darkness. What would Lera talk to bim about now they were alone, she wondered, and then dismissed the thought.

Once again one was im- artistry of singers and one was truly grateful for the genius of the conductor, Mr. Geen, that brought {nto such harmony, the twenty-two voices of the chorus. The pure true tone of the ensem- ble and the sympathetic quality of the blended voices are tribute to conductor and singers. The songs of the evening in- cluded "I1 Neige', Bemberg; the Carol, "Tyrle, Tyriow, Tyrle, Tyr low", Willan; "The Jolly Miller", arranged by Dods; "Celtic Lulla- by", arranged by Roberton; "The Rosary", by Nevin and "The Snow", by Elgar. . Carol Is Lovely The carol, naw to the audience, was one of the loveliest ever heard, the splendid rendition give ing unusual charm to the simple words. Many for whom "The Ro- sary" is a favourite, were more than delighted with the effect of the song as a choral number. El- gar's "The Snow" wag a perfect selection for the final number. Those, who heard it last year, could not'forget the strange beau- ty of the song and were more than pleased to find it included on the programme again.

Mr. Reginald Geen, as assist Ing artist, gave a group of organ and plano numbers, that showed his versatility as a musician. He selected for the organ "Lamen- tation" by Guilmant, and "Fugue on 'In Dpant Justitiam" by the same composer. Mr. Geen's fin¢ futerpretation, and his splendid technique provided for his audi- ence moments of real delight. The choice of his plano group "Nocturne in C Minor' Chopin "Gavotte in A Flat Minor' Sgam- batti and "Soiree de Vienne" Schubert-Lizt was a popular one and the audience which, as usual, hag been requested not to ap- plaud, could hardly restrain an expression of appreciation.
