/ ES, FRIDAY, DECEMBER I THE. as TIM H t bankrupt © family, when her hunter bolted and he stopped the runaway horse, Her brother Hugh compiimenied her on ~ "picking up" young Corble, then told her.that her marrying wealth was his bhly hope as he had raised a check of a 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 £300, en- ough to ge, Hugh out of his {rouble Priscilla loved Clive Weston, The day Jonathan proposed Clive accept- ed a better position out in East Africa with a rubber company, and asked her to marry him, She ferced herself to say she did not love him engugh. All this had left her in sucha nervous state thay she quar- relled with Jonathan and threw her engagement ring at him. Thinking only of himself, Hugh phoned Jon- athan, telling him his sister wanted to sea him, She did see him, asked his forgiveness, and agreed {ic marry him within a week. The morning of her wedding Weston war anounced a3 a caller INSTALMENT 19, Priscilla turned slowly and look- cd at Soames with blank eyes, Hugh rose from his chair, his face flushed, his eyes angry. "Weston !| Nonsensc !" he ' sald loudly, "It's some mistake, Tell him Miss Marsh can't see him." Soames me: his young master's eyes unmoved ; he detes.cd Hugh. "There is no mistake, sir," he said calmly. "It is Mr. Clive Weston, T asked him into the library, There was a tragic silence. Pris- | cilla's face was infinitely pathetic and the hand that wore Jonathan Corbie's big diamond clutched the back of her chair with frantic fing- ers, Hugh spoke again, blusteringly I'll see him. Miss Marsh is engaged. I'll sce him." "No," said Priscilia. She stood up . "Please tell Mr, Weston I will come in a moment," The old man went away, and Hugh broke oui: 'It's not Weston--of course it can't be. He's on the other side of the world. Some imposter-- begging, I'll bet. Let me deal with him, "» Priscilla ignored him. She opened the door and went slowly to the lib- rary. A man standing by the fire with his back to her, turned sharply, and for a moment there was pro- found silence, Then Priscilla. whis. psred his name with white lips-- "Clive," He crossed the space between them in one stride and took her in his arms, "Oh, my dear, my dear !" The manner of their pariing was lorgotten, and for a moment Pris. - pila clung to him, shaking, and sobbing his name over and over sgain : "Clive--Clive--" He explained brokenly : "I didn't mean to come, I've been back in Lon- don since Monday, The firm wired "me at Las Palmas ic return, There's . been a change in their plans, I may stay in England after all, I didn': mean to come, but last night some- thing made me something--I don't know what it was. Thank God I came--Priscilla--" he turnéd her face up to his and kissed her lips-- "You do love me, You love me ." She seemed to come to life then Bhe fell back from him, pushing him from her, "I can't, Oh, why did you come ? | Oh, Clive, it's too late--too late !" He laugher at that, laughed tend- . . erly and kissed the hand that s.ill clung to his, "Too late! Nonsens> If you love me--and I know you dc ~--1 knew it as soon as you opened the door--nothing else matters Priscilla, it was you that brougit me bagi." "No, Oh, please, wait. Let me ~ think" ~ He waited patiently, his face flush- ed, his eyes radiant. He could not have explained what impulse it 'was that had brought him to the house, He had not in- tended to see Priscila again, and yet last night sume power over which he had no control had driven him to take this sep, And how well he had bzen rewarded! Life wag glorious ; his sudaen happiness al- most dazed him, His patience sudenly deserted him He took a quick step toward her-- "My dear--" . Priscilia broke in Loarsely : "It's too late, Clive, ¥m going to be mar- ried to-aay." A I" For a moment. he 4 Wi incredulous ; then he lagh- ed, "Married ? Yes, to me." "No, no."

Th "hie lauehter uroke jaggedly and il She stood there shivering, ¢ ing to and fro, Then once aga felt his arms around her, crushing her in their strength ; felt his lps on hers in passionate kisses. "You belong to me~~do you hear ? Marry him if you like, but you're mine--you're mine, do 'yan hear ?" Then as suddenly she was free of him again. She heard the door open, and knew he had gone. Hugh came into the room; he looked white and angry. : "Priscilla !" He went to her, "Pull yourself "together, for God's sake, Why on earth did you see the fel- low ? He's a damned coward, coming here and upsetting you on your wed- ding day, Priscilla !"" He shook her none too gently. With a great effort she controlled herself, «It's all right, I'm all right It's only-----" For a moment he thought she was going to faint, He rushed away and brougth some water, and stool over her while she drank. "Pull yourself together for Heav- en's sake," He locked at her with moody eyes, "What in the world is he doing here ? I thought he was miles away." She did not answer; there seemed no answer to anything in all the world He walked away from her and stood looking out of the window. Down the drive he could see Clive Weston's tall figure disappearing {from view ; when he was no longer | in sight Hugh went back (0 his sis- ter, "Do you know it's past ten?" he sald uneasily, ' She moved slowly to the door and, struck with sudden remorse, Hugh followed and caught her arm. «I say, old girl, I'm {rightfully sorry if it's as bad as all that--" Priscilla said again gently :- "It's all right, You need not worry." She half turned. "I suppose I ought to be dressing." Hugh s2id nothing. In his heart he was cursing Clive Weston, not on Priscilla's account, but because he had so nearly wrecked all his plans just @s they were going so well, Jonathan's mother wiped a tear from her eye and took Priscilla in her motherly arms. "I wish youd been in a white dress," she said. "You'd have made such a lovely bride. It seems all wrong somehow--as if you were a widow geiting married for the se- cond time." She and her husband and Jona- than had just arrived a; the Marsh house to go with Priscilla and Hugh to London for the ceremony. That the five of them should go together as if they were staring on an ordin- ary outing, shocked her sensibilities an's father was rather re- at he was not to be asked to enter ain the countryside. "Wwha"s any one round here done for me?" he demanded loudly. "T'm | a self-made m thank God, and I don't owe ai gz to the gaping crowd Ww and drink my wine if y had thie chance," Priscilla was locking very charm-| ing. She wore a blue frock that| hed her eyes, wi h a little close-| 7 hat of the same shade and a -gutiful sable coat which had been' one of Jonathan's gifis. Jonathan glanced at her from time to time with a strangely humble expression in his eyes. He was impatient with his mother, and with everyone elese who seemed to be delayir hinge. Two of the Corbics' big cars stood in the drive, one for himself and his fa ler, the other for Mrs. Corbie and Hugh and Priscilla. "I think it's nice not having any formality," Priscilla sald. "I should have been terribly nervous with a big crowd." She had just been upstairs to kiss her father, "It's not really good-by," she told him comfor.ably. "I'll be back quite soon----only it will be as Mrs, Jona. than Corbie. And you'll try to come down to lunch won't you, darling, if you don't think it will tire yon too much? It won't be the same if you're no; there." Mr. Corbie looked at his watch. "We ought to he starting," he said. He was an impatient, self-compla.- cent-looking man with a red face and reddish hair fast growing white, He was a litle afraid of Priscilla, though he tried to hide it beneath a jocular manner. Mrs. Corbie went out into the hall, followed by her husband and Hugh. Priscilla and Jonathan were alone. He looked at her hesitating- ly for a moment, 'nen caught her hand "I will be good to you, princess." Her face quivered, but she tried to smile. "I know." "And if I've seemed hard----" Presently they were all driving away through the October sun- shine, Jona'han end his father were in the leading car. As they swung around the bend in the road Priscilla cayght a glimpse of the two men, Jonathan a little grim and pale, his'father red-faced and talk- ative, smoking a [at cigar. "They were such a contrast, Nobody would ever take them for father and son, "Happy is the bride the sun shines om, my. dear," Mrs, Corbie said. She REMEMBER--LANTERN LECTURE The Harmony group had grown so large by last Friday that we divided into two groups. The ju- nior group had their eleg#ion of officers: Pres., Margaret Sugden; vice-pres., Isobel Goyne;. secy., Audrey Terwilleger; treas., Dor- othy Ross. The remainder of. the evening was spent in making the final plaps for dor lantern lecture, "The Other. Wise Man," to be given on ursday, December 15, by Mr, fleld. of the Osha- wa Collegiate Staff. NQRTHMINSTER TER LIVE-WIRES ello, everybody, this is the | Live-Wire group of Northminster church. We met at North'Simcoe School at 4.15;and left for a hike. We hiked 4s far as Five Points and home again. Were we cold? Oh! oh! ASk any of the Live- Wire girls, a will tell you. We certainly lived up to our name, dancing around to keep warm. When we ned the church, guess what 'here? No, it wasn't Santa s. It was a hot pan full of beans and a kettle full of cocoa to eat with our sandwiches. After scpper, we washed the dishes and played games, Coming to order, the leader of the En Avant group explained to us about our candle lighting serv- fce..

Alter the the business part of the meet- ing was adjourned Nantly Mec- Gramaham and Helen Murdock took the devotional period on Christmas. We played games and then closed the meeting with "Taps". : CENTRE 8S.

Our president Sper- ¢d th» business meeting, and ask ed if there was any new v business. We suggested a suppe . meeting for next week and then thought i.t we should have it in the form of a Christmas Party. The rest of the evening was spent in cov- ering hangers and knitting, FIRESIDE SERVICE On Fridey night over thirty girls in uniform arrived at Mrs. | Luke's apartment, The large num- | ber of girls were composed of the jnnlor and senior groups from Albert St. and Cedardale churches. The meeting opened with a cheerful sing-sonz; 'then Phyllis Ayres led the fireside ser- vice. Marjorie Moore then told a "tory to the girls, after which re- freshments were served. On be- halt of the Albert St. Church took Priscilla's hand and patted it. "I was afraid it was going to rain, but the sun's come out again nicely, I always say--" She broke off with a little scream as the chauffeur applied the brakes with such sudden force that they were all flung together in a heap. The car slopped, ard the chauffeur jumped dnwn from his seat. Hugh thrust his head out into the sunshine. "They've run over some- thing--a dog--it's a man----" He wrenched the door open and jumped out, running to where: the first car had come to a skidding standstill, Jonathan and his father were out in the read, bending over a dark object lying there, and pe- destrianc were rura'ng up from all | directions. | Jonathan was on his knees in the mud, tryirg to raise the man in his arms. Answering Hugh's questions, he sald tensely, "He stepped right in front of us--it wasn't East's fault at all. Help me turn him over." But Hugh stood rooted to the spot, a look of growing horror in his face, and it was old Corble who bent to assist his son. 'Between them they gently lifted the man's huddled figure, resting his head against Jcnathan's knee, 80 that his battered face was fully exposed to the sunchine, and after ane glance, Hugh broke ou; wildly: *oh, my God--it's Clive Weston!" fi coil SFO 7" Y P zep also thanked Mrs. behalf of the Cedardale Chu The meeting closed with "Ta GROUP Fidelis regular meeting held at St. Andrew's church.
