Old Corble took up one of his wife's hairbrushes and begar thoughtfully . smoothing his. seanty locke, "There's something behing. al this," he sald with sudden inspira. tion, "No, I don't know what, but you mark my words, we haven't heard it all yet." In her owh mind Mrs, Corbie be- lieved that all this misfortune was due to the fact that the wedding .| had not been arranged convention. next day she asked , enough to get Hugh trouble, Priscilla loved eston, The day Jonathan Clive accepted a better tion out in East Africa with a rubber company, and asked her tc wait for him, She forced herself to say she did not love him enough, but on her wedding day he went to sec again, This time she told him the truth, that she was marrying for money. As the wedding party was driving to London for the cere- mony, Weston fell or threw himself in front of the first car, in which Jonathan and his father were riding and died in a hospital, As Jonathan was taking Priscilla from the hospi- tal, she sald, "But for me it never would have happened." Lena, Jona. than's cousin, who was in love with him, was visiting the Corbies, INSTALMENT 21, "If I hadn't sent him away he would have been alive and happy naw," Priscilla went on "It's my fault--all my fault." Jonathan made a little inarticul- ate sound. He hated himself because it was 50 impossible to speak, to comfort her, but she did not want his comfort, and he knew it, They reached the Moorland House, Through the open dining- recom" door they could see the long table laid for luncheon; the pro- fusion of flowers, and air of festiv- ty. Prisclila walked into the library She was still wearing the clcthes in which she was to have been married, but now even the artificial coloring in her cheeks could not hide her deadly pallor. Jonathan closed the door behind him and stood waiting. He could not have spoken had his life depended on it, Priscilla spoke suddenly, in a stified volcc. "Please go away. 1 want to alone, I'll write to you soon, or atk you to come and see me." 'He took a step forward, then checked himself. "I'll come--any time," he said hoarsely, Out in the hall he met Hugh. "This is a rotten business, Corbie =the very devil, isn't it 2" Jonathan made no answer, and Hugh sald again awkwardly : "I suppose you'll get fixed up to. morrow--or as soon as this hellish inquest business is over. I'm told there'll have to be an inquest, Not that it will make any real d!Terence --a special license can be used any time, can't it ?" "I believe so, I really don't know and it makes no difference, as you say. He went on out of the house, His wedding day ! Something within him wanted tc {augh--to laugh loudly. Lena was hovering about in the hall waiting for him. She came for- ward eagerly when he walked in ; she had not expected him back sc soon, "HOW 1s the poor man, Jonathan ? Better, I hope." "He's dead." He passed her without anothp: word and went upstairs, Old Corbie had heard his son's voice and came out into the hall. "He's dead," Lena said in a whis- pe:. "Dead!" There was auger in the old man's voice. He took it as a per- sonal insult that such a tragedy should have happened on his son's wedding day, He stood staring at his niece blankly; then after a moment receovered himself, "Well, nobody's to blame," he said loudly. "Damned unfortunate, al' the same--it means putting the wedding off, of course," He frowned and repeated more loudly: "Of Sorse it means putting the wedding Lena did not answer. Something seemed to tell her, even as it had told Jonathan, that the wedding would never take piace now. It was a favorite saying of Mrs Corbie's that troubles never come singly, She had been saying it all her life about small, unimportant things, and she said it again that night with good reason when the nevis came that Priscilla's father had died quietly in his sleep, "There'l] be a third thing, youl) see," she prophesied, resorting to her smelling salts, "There is always a third thing, I've noticed it all my life. Troubles never come singly They always come in threes," "Are you suggesting that we kill somebody to make o third corpee my Gear ?" her husbend inquired with sarcasm, He was wandeiing about the room, irritating her by his presence even while she realized that he must be very perturbed indced to come to her for company, "I'm not suggesting anything" she retorted. "I'm only trying to be prepared, Something else will hap- pen, you mark my words." : It's a damned unfortunate busi- ness," her husband said ruefully, 1 never wanted this marriage, It's don't want to hurt you, I'm not ally. "If they had gone to church de- cently," she broke out, "none of thi: would have happened, and the poo young man would have been alive now." v "I don't see how you can prove that !" ge "I can prove it quite well" she said in triumph, "because they woulc have gone the other way to churct and never have passed him at all" She did not know that Clive hac deliberately wandered about the vil- lage in order to see Priscilla pass and that whichever way she had chosen to go, the tragedy might equally well have happened, "And now the wedding will have to be put off," she wailed, "I did think that Priscilla and Jonathan could have been married quietly to- morrow without any one saying any- dead it's a different matter alto- gether, Oh, dear, oh, dear, what wil thing, but with her own father lying | THE O ha seated, Dorothy Wilson, Mary THE MOVIE METEOR | Here's the Great Nebula of Hollywood, due, in the view of movie press agents, to condense into at least a few stars within a couple of years, Left to right, standing, Toshia Mori, Boots Mallory, Ruth Hall, Gloria Stuart, Patricia Ellis, Ginger Rogers, Carlisle, the WAMPAS 'baby stars' of 1933. SHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1932 SHOWER OF 1933 Lillian Bond, Evalyn Knapp, Marion Shockley; Leona Andre, Eleanor Holm and Dorothy Layton. They're the third thing be 7 Old Corbie wandered away. He was to admit, He felt terribly sorry for his son, and wished he would come down and talk things over, But no, there was Jonathan up in his own room, refusing to say a word, He went into the dining room and drank a strong whiskey, after which he felt better, but his wife's pro- pheey haunted him, There might be a third thing. Perhaps some- thing even worse than what had gone before, It was a week before Jonathan Corbie saw Priscilla again, unless one counted the few moments when he stood beside her at her father's grave, He had made no attempt to see her alone, though he knew quite well that all sorts of wild rumors were flying about the village, When at last she sent for him, he walked across the fields tc the Moorland House, making the distance as great as possible, wondering how he would be able to face what he Liew wae awaiting him, Relatives had come to the village and had taken Clive Weston's body away, after an inquest which had attached no blame to any one, Everything looked much the same as usual, Jonathan thought, and wondered why he had expected it tc be changed. The long drive up to the big house was just as forlerm and ill-kept as usual, and the marks of heavy car wheels still chowed in the gravel ; wheels of the long pro- cession that had followed old Marsh to bis grave, Old Soames, impassive as ever, ad. mitted him, and led the way tc the library. It seemed a long time tc Jonathan before he heard Priscilla'r steps in the hall, and even wher she opened the door he made ne movement to go forward and greet her. She looked very much the same monrnine. "It's kind of you to come said, and Jonathan sa'd bluntly, suonose I'm jilted, Is that it 2" The color rose a hittle in her pale | you will try to forgive me, It was a | mistake from the first, I am the | only one to blame.

He sald with an effort : "I can't see that things are chang. ed now from what they were o | month aco, In what way are they | changed ?" "I don't know, I only know that | they are, I think--after things hap- | pen . like--father's death and-- | Ciive's, it makes cre look at life | quite differently." Her eyes met his | steadily now, "I loved Clive, you know, and he loved me." Jonathan gave a queer laugh "A | funny sort of love, if you were will. ing to throw it away for my money.' "I know, You have a perfect right to say that, and I suppose it won't seem a juctified excuse to you, when | i 4: wat IT wanted to help my bro. ther, It doesn't seem justified to me | now, but then--everything is sc | changed." There was a litt'e silence, which Jonathan broke to ask, "What are you going to do ?"

Christmas in Wales Keltic magic still exercises {ts sway over Wales at Christmas time, If we do not belleve in fairies any more, we conjure up whimsical spirits in song and story, and in cottage and farm- house and hotel this season there will be revels and a great coming tocether. The Keltic year of our ances- tors began on November 1, and this day is named in Welsh, Calan Gaeaf-----pronounced Kallon Guy- aff, meaning Winter Kalend. Long ago the night was marked by celebrations and feasting, and even now spec'al fairs are held in country districts followed by bonfires on the hillsides. Chil- dren spend days collécting mater- fal to fred the great blaze, and there is laughter and music in a thousand towns and villages. When I wags a boy no one spoke of Guy Fawkes, but we were all excited about the winter "Honfires, which were convenient: ly staged over a period of several weeks and extended into Decem- ber. If the weather is kind this vractice is still carried out in certain districts of North Wales. °nd is rerarded as a kind of "lighting up" of winter revelry. I have met old people who can recall the picturesque ceremon'al attached to these blazings half a century or more ago. Furze and faggots wera essential, and per- "ong ran back and fore throurh the smoke and fire. Boys would van sunwise round the great blaze, drawing near with each turn, and those, who dared ran through the ashes at its edge. Those who caused the sparks to fly were considered brave and would be in luck for a whole year." People threw stones, which they had marked, into the heart of the bonfire, returning next day to seek them. To find your own stone was lucky, to fail to find It meant misfortune and In some cases was regarded as a death omen. When the fire died down there was a gencral scamper for home for fear of the Black Sow with- out a Tail. They sang ag they fled --"Home, home, let each try to be first-- And may the tail-less Black Sow take the hindmost." The Welsh are an imaginative people, and have retained many links with a strange past. Other old winter customs of early ori- gin still kept up in some parts of rural Wales include meetings in houses and village halls where the women knit, and there is a program of singing with the harp or violin and unending recital of old-time stories. Christmas bas its round of competitive festivals of gonz ana poetry. The children start their carol singing early--weeks be- fora the feast--and on Christ- mas Eve and Christmas morning choirs of trained sing~rs room the countryside heralding the Nativity with real Welsh fer = = In many churches, both in North and South Wales, the ancient ABOVE--The little girl is quite unconcerned over the difficulties she is eausing.

But Mrs. Hugo Connor, a Jewess, wants to adopt the child and the home claims Rabbis per. mit Jews to adopt only children known to be of Jewish origin. There is nothing known of the parents of this little child.

The child is denied her because it is ticketed a *'Cath- olic" and must be adopted by a Catholic family. custom of holding a dawn or cock's crow scrvice continues. Last Christmas in the Cardigan- shire hill country I attended a s:rvice at 5 a.m., and the congre- gation which had come on foot and horseback from a radius ten miles sang carols and sald pray- ers and listened with rapt atten- tion to a sermon until the dawn broke. In the southern inCustrial county of Glamorgan a plctures- que custom called Mari Lwyd has survived. A youth wearing a painted horse's head and dressed in a white sheet is accompanied by others in the parts of a Mer- ry Man (with fiddle) a sergeant, a corporal and Punch and Judy, and they go from door to door. They sing demanding entry to the house, and the householder sings in return denying admit- tance. At last the door is opened, and there is more song--the mummers sing for their supper and then return thanks in song, too, New Year's morning in most parts of Wales is the occasion for calls by children and youths upon the nei~"hbors, wishing them a Happy New Year. In olden davs the first caller used to be reward- ed with Calennig--Kalend gift --but generally now there is a ~ift for nearly everyone.
