Joan was still with her. "Pil never go home without you," she 'declared, and she had said the same to her father and mother when they came to see for them- selves how matters lay. The Egertons had long since de- parted and Dorothy had gone with them, though Jonathan had stayed on until Priscilla was really well out of danger, He and Joan had become great friends. They had taken long walks together when Joan felt she could safely be away from the sick room, and they had talked about Pris- cilla most of the time; or at least Joan had talked and Jonathan had listened. He had not been allowed to see Priscilla and she had never asked for him, but he and Joan had a secret understanding that as soon as she was able to get about a lit- le, he was tc come back. "I1l write once a week, and tell you how she is," she told him. He had not asked her to do that, put she knew it was what he wanted. It was May and the color began to steal slowly back to Priscilla's face. "May? Have I been ill all these months ?" she asked dreamily onc day. She and Joan were sitting in the garden of the little hospital, looking out at the sunlit mountains. "Nearly four months, darling," Joan said. "And c? course every one went back ages ago," Priscilla said, a lit- tle wistfully. "I medn the Eger- tons, and all the others." "Yes." Joan hesitated, then she said slowly, "And Dorothy's going to be married." Joan avoided look- ing at her. "To a man in the navy, I believe. Mr. Corbie told me." She felt Priscil'a's eyes upon her. 'But he isn't here, is he ?" "Oh, no, but he writes to me some. imes, and I write to him. We're reat friends." There was 2 little silence. "I've never had a chance yet to hank him for saving my life," ?riscilla said. She had heard all about it a dozen imes from Joan, a rather exagger- ited account if the truth must be old, but she was not yet tired of wearing it. "I think I must write to him, too," he said after a moment. "It was 'ery brave of Lim, wasn't it, Joan?" "There's nobody like him in the orld," Joan declared. Priscilla Lad often thought of 'onathan, and in her weakness had onged to see him. He was so strong she had felt often during her ill- aess that if only he could come and sold her hand it would be so much sasler to struggle back to life. But Jonathan did not love her any- nore. "I thank God I don't love you any more," was what he had said. And Dorothy was to be married to some one e!se. Perhaps Jonathan was sorry about that, or hadn't Le really cared for her ? Joan stood up suddenly. "I think I'll go down to the village if you don't mind." She bent and kissed Priscilla. "I won't be long." Priscilla lay back in her chair. She was still far from strong; iife still seemed an effort, and yet 2v- ery day she knew she was getting better, more like her old self. Sup- posing she had died! Once, after Clive was killed, she had wanted to die, and yet now she was glad to be alive, and the thought of Clive no longed hurt her, It was only the thought of Jonathan that gave her that queer little pain--the memory of his eyes as she had last seen them. God I don't love you any more." He needn't have said that. She had not been to blame for Tom Jigerton's trying to kiss her; poor Tom, who had been less than nothi- ing to her. 'She closed her eyes. Perhaps, quite soon, she would be able to think of Jonathan without that queer heartache, without longing for him whenever she felt tired and dispirited. 'There was a step on the little gravel path, 'You've soon come back," she said listlessly without turning her head. "Aren't you going, after all 2" "I've only just come, Priscilla,' said Jr aathan Corbie. Priscilla started to her feet. She was shaking in every limb, and her lips were white, "Y ou----Why =' "1 startled you. I'm sorry." He put. her gently back into her chair ¢~d stood beside her, his face a little pale and .anxious. "I'm sorry. It was just like me to startle vou like this." But Priscilla soon recovered. She felt as she looked at him as if o sudden breath of mountain air had ewept around her, bringing with it "She's just gone down to the vil- lage--that must have been the rea- son. I suppose you missed her. I wonder why she didn't tell me. Do sit down." But he remained standing, look- ing at her with grave eyes. "Are you really nearly well ?" he asked awkwardly. "Very nearly." She was flushed again now, and her eyes were bright. "I've been ill a disgracefully long time, haven't I ? And what are you doing in Switzerland?" "I came to see you." She made a little grimace. "I fee! immensely flattered." He smiled suddenly, one of his rare smiles. "That sour.ds more like you, Pris- cilla; more liX2 the way you used to speak to me. I very nearly said years ago--it seems years at any rate since we were at the Moorland House." "I wasn't very nice to you then, Jonathan." "We weren't very nice to each other," he said gravely. "If you knew how often I have regretted things -- especially that last night before--" "Before I tried to be too clever, and got left on the mountain, and you saved my life," she sald, almost flippantly--she was afraid to be loo serious. "I haven't thanked you for that yet. You were very good to me, Jonathan." He was silent for a moment, sta:- ing down at the grass at their fee!; then he said in a low voice: "Not so good as I should like to be, my dear." Priscilla lay very still, her head resting on the cushions, her eyes fixed on his face. She told herself she was dreaming, that none of this was real, and yet---- Jonathan went on, his eyes still averted: "It was a lie--what I told you that night. I suppose you know it was a lie. I was half mad, I think. I'd seen that Egerton fellow kissing, you as I had often longed to kiss you. I knew you didn't care for me, and I wanted to hurt you. It sounds vile now, but I did. I wanted to humiliate you, and when you put out your hands to me--do you re- member ?--I thought you were just playing with me--that it was just and hurt me afresh, Will you for- give me, Princess ?" "If you will forgive m2." She spoke the words, heard herself speak them, but still it did not seem real. He was so close to her, and yet she was afraid that if she put out her hand now to touch him, he would not be there; that she had conjured his image in her imagination because she had so wanted to see him again. They were both silent for a little while. The sun was setting behind the mountain and a cool breeze was creeping over the valley. Jonathan looked up. "You ought to go in. It's getting too cold for you." They went to the little sitting room that had been set apart for the two girls. Jonathan stood look- ing out of the window, his face a little grim and pale, and Priscilla said: "It's a wonderful view, isn't it? You can see the Tiplitz Cafe on a clear morning, and a little bit of the run down." "I never want to see it again," ne told. her roughly. She sighed. "Oh, I don't know. We had some good times--at least I did. I wish I were well and strong en- ough to d» it over again." Priscilla ?" der: ? They looked at each other in sil- ence; then suddenly Jonathan held out his arms. "Come back to me Princess--come back to me!" The hot color rushed to her face, then died away, leaving her very white. "But--you don't really love me," she whispered. "I don't love you !" He was down on his knees before rer, his arms round her waist, his face 'hidden against her. "I love you with all that I am, all I ever shail be. You are my life-- everything to me. I'll make you love me if only you'll take me back. Don' send me away. I can't bear it. if you send me away again!" She put her hand on his head, looking away from him into 'he heart of the sunset. "Make me love you?" she said with a queer little laugh. "Oh, Jona- than, I do love you--" Her voice broke on a sob. "I almost wish I could say as you once said to me, 'Thank God I don't'--but I can't, I want you to take me back, too-- Oh, Jonathan!" . She was in his ~rms at last; the strong arms that seemed to hold her so safely against her weakness and loneliness and all the troublas that might still be in store for her. "It's only a dream," she told her- self, but she knew it was real, as with infinite tenderness Jonathan Corbie turned her face up to his and kissed her lips, It was all over, all the pain and heartbreak and misunderstanding. It seemed impossible that she should be there safe in his arms at last. And yet she knew it was true, and looking up at him, with dewy eyes and lovely trembling lips, she whisp- ered, "Kiss me more." Late that evening Joan crept down to one of the nurses at the little hospital with whom she was very friendly, and found her reading a book and wiping the tears fron her eyes as she read. "What's the malter 2" Joan de- manded, distressed. "It's this book; it's so sad, and yet 80 beautiful. I've never read such a | beautiful story."

Still suffering great pain from his injuries, he bore up manfully until the last, standing by the side of the casket with his arm around his eleven-year-old son. The three daughters and the son of Mrs. Dalby were also pres- ent, and touching scenes were enacted as their grief overflowed in the last poignant moments of the service. Rev. Canon de Pencier conduct- ed the funeral service at the Church and at the Mausoleum, reading as the lesson the com- forting words of St. Paul as found in the fifteenth chapter of his first epistle to the Corinthians. At the Mausoleuni, the solemn and impressive ceremonies were completed, and the Legion and Auxiliary placed their poppies, emblems of remembrance of a de- parted comrade and friend, on the casket. The pall-bearers for Mrs. Dalby were six members of the Canadian Legion, James Holt, W. J. Lock, Arthur Tierney, Fred Watson. Harry Gay and C. A. Vermocn. while six members of Tempie Lodge, A.F. and A.M., Cecil I. Cannon, Norval Willson, F, C. Davidson, L. F. McLaughlin, M. Jackson and S. Stevenson acted as pall-bearers for Mrs. Murray. Members of the Oshawa Fire Department, of which Mrs. Dalby's son is a member, and of the police department, were also present at the service. There was a great profusion of beautiful floral tributes, including wreaths and other pieces from the various organizations with which Mrs. Dalby and her hus- band and daughter were associat- ed, all bearing mute testimony to the fact that the deceased were universally esteemed and greatly loved, and that the sympathy: of their many friends went out in full measure to the'family so sud- denly and tragically bereaved. ee ves, The old bachelor tried ta bear the wheezy musician playing Christmas carols outside his win- dow.

EGG SIZE GIVES LEAD It is interesting to note in con- on with the :Onteris Egg Laying Contest, now well under for the thirteenth consecu- tive year at the General Exper menial Farm, Ottawa, that egg size gives a strong lead for per- formance of best pens for the week. Pen No. 7, Barred Rocks, entered by A. J. Urquhart with a total of 63.1 points for 66 exes, have a lead of 8.8 points over their nearest rivals, a pen oO White Leghorns, scoring b54.8 points for 52 eggs. While in the "best birds to date" egg size is even more significant, the first four in order showing 88.1 points for 33 eggs; 837 points for 33 ees; 36.8 points for 33 eggs; and 36.8 peints for 34 eggs.
