Mrs. Cutting knows noth- ing of Margaret's antecedents Margaret takes a dislike to Mrs. Cutting's nephew, Stanley Crit- tend b of his app 1 181s habits. Stanley is curious , about Margaret. At a bridge same he is much attracted to rearet, but she is coldly indif- erent to him. INSTALMENT 111 A stép behind Margaret on the vy carpet made her start; Mrs. Cutting bad come in, an almost unprecedented event. "Oh, Miss Yorke, you poor chiid you, its' two o'clock, snd you ought to be getting your sleep! But I am so distressed...." "I'm eo sorry!" Margaret said and sat down herself, expectant end sympathetic, on the foot of her , "Mr. Wylle told me something tonight--oh, I shall be so distres- sed if it is true!" pursued Mrs. Cutting, "I don't know what possesses girls, nowadays!" she lamented. "I think Mrs. Ferguson' is crazy. to rent ber house, anyway!" she burst out resentfully. "And who ¢n earth do you suppose has rent- ed the Ferguson house? You heard me speaking the other day of Mrs, Theobald?" "f remember," Margaret said faintly. She hed turned paie. "Well!" said Mrs. Cutting tri- umphantly, Margaret had risen; she now at her dressing-table, "Not--not Mrs, Cuyler Theo bald of New York?" she asked, in a low voice. "Certainly Mrs. Cuyler Theoball ~--my nephew's wife! And she comes back here, right under our noses, to get her divorce from was bm!" said Mrs. Cutting, in an-| Bry triumpn, "She--she is getting oree, you say?" "Well, that's what old Wylie says--he always géts everything 50 mixed up!" Mrs. Cutting said vexedly, "But I can't belleve that she'd do it!" she added, and waa silent for a moment. "It'd be just exactly like what that girl would do!" Margaret heard her say, halt aloud, resentfully, "Mrs. Cuyler Theobald--here!" Margaret said, as if in a dream. "She was Shirley Wilson--thera were three of them, Willard Wil- son's girls," Mrs. Cutting supplied. "They were all pretty--this ons was the oldest, and she was always a two-faced, sly little thing--1 never liked hor. Her sister mar- ried Blake Pond, afterward, and the little one married someone, too--one of the Watsons, I think. This girl was about nineteen, run- ning around with the Baxter girls end Lily Priest, wouldn't say 'boo' to a goose, and then what does she do but run off with Tom Dun- can! That was ten years ago; she 'was just twenty. You knew that she was engaged to Stan, wedding- day set and everything?" Mrs. Cutting added in a cautiously low- ered tone. "A girl who would run oft with a man in the first place," she went on, "and now back she comes to get a divorce! I won't bave her in my house, I know that, Any woman who'll run off with a married man isn't any better than a--well, she's no better than a--" "There were circumstances, perhaps," Margaret, who was very pale, suggested with an effort. But her employer promptly in- terrupted her. ""There's no excuse! None what- ever. And Shirley Theobald will find out that other people feel as Idol" "She never was married to Mr. Theobald?" Marga.et weked, "Oh, yes, she was married to him, fast enough, it was Duncan she ran away with. And that's what makes me so furious," Mrs Cutting said discontentedly, "He's my nephew, you know, <Cuyler Theobald," she sighed. "I'd lost sight of him for years," she went on, "He ran with a fast set.in New York, drinking and wasting money--he's run through two for- tunes, and he was married and di- voreéd. He got his divorce abroad, end immediately afterward--that was four years ago, just after my husband's death, he and Shirley Wilson were married, in Paris. And now, Wylie tells me, she's been in Los Angeles since last No- vember, pretending to be interest- od in the moving pletures, but really petting a divorce!" "But first she had run away with some other man?" Margaret asked, "With Tom Duncan, oh, yes! A man of forty-eight, with three children," the gentle droning voice continued. "Poor Mamie Duncan, she had lots of spirit, and she said that she didn't know whether to be most mad or most ashamed of him, Yes, Shirley went off with him to New York. He died there 8 few months later. And then Shirley went abroad, and we heard all "sorts of things--of course the newsnapers were making a lot of all this.

"They were to be married in two weeks, bridesmaids and engagement cups and everything. You never heard 80 much talk! Stan worshipped the ground she walked on, Every- thing was settled, And then, one day, Mr. Cutting came home with the whole story, in the afternoon 'bapers. Shirley Wilson had eloped with Thomas Duncan! Well, the excitement....! We got hold of George Priest and eent him to find Stan. My dear husband--you never knew him, but this was so like him""--interpolated Mrs, Cut- ting, with watering eyes--*he sent both George and Stan up to one of hig big lumber camps in Can- ada, He sald to George--I can see him, handsome man if ever one lived!--'Ride and tramp and fish,' he said, 'Shake It out of him, George!' And George-- homely boy, but salt of the earth, sald 'Leave it to me, Mr, Cutting!" We didn't see Stan for five mon- ths, but he came home a man-- all the boyishness gone, as my husband sald! Poor Stan, 1 don't really know what he'll do If that --that woman dares to . presen' herself, right here among us! But it would be like her! Bold. She's absolutely unscrupulous!" "Is she--is she so charming?" Margaret asked. "Yes," Mrs. Cutting answered, decidedly, after thought. "She fs. Shirley Wilson was one of the most magnetic girls I ever knew. She charmed---yes, she did charm everyone. It isn't alone beautv-- although she has that, too." She fell silent; suddenly began again with a tut-tutting sound. "Dear me, I wish this hadn't happened --just as the Strawberry Fete ir coming on, and Cora Pond--that's 'her sister!-- on the Publicity Committes with me! I'm fond of Cora, she was only a child wher Shirley ran away. But 1. certainly | will not recognize Shirley! No, 1 won't do that, and I don't think | most peoole will." "Strange thing, her coming; right here," Margaret mused. I "Ob, my dear, she'll carry it off --you wait until! you see her" Mrs, Cutting said bitterly, getting to her feet and gathering her robe {about her. "I mustn't keep you {up. But now there's one thing you {can do for me," she added, resum- ing ber mild, complaining ton®' | 8t the door. "Will you do this for | me, if this story of Shirley Theo- bald is true? Will you just men- jtion it in my nephew's hearing. and gee if lie has heard {t? I can't ~----you can see how awkward i would be. But you can, because you aren't supposed to know any- thing about it. Just mention 12 casually, and then he'll know, and the whole thing won't be rushed at him by some outsider at the {club, or by his walking into Shire ley somewhere. I wish the girl was in Jericho!" added Mrs. Cutting with feeling, She was gone, leaving Margaret wakeful, chilly, nervous, in the | big room. She had been up until {two or three o'clock many times; she had always slept soundly, but she was jumpy and excited to- night, She made a pilgrimage to the nursery, before she got into bed, extinguished her light, and plunged her black head into the soft pillows, \ But dawn was creeping over the old garden, and over the dewy rose-bushes, and the brick steps where Stan had given Margaret his hard big hand, before she fel. asleep at laet, . LJ] . Breakfast the next morning was a strangely exciting meal for both Stan and Margaret. Jim's shouts came from the garden. !Stanley went {n the direction from which came the child's voice, hear- ing Margaret laugh. She looked up at him eagerly as he came across the dappled grass, "There--do you hear that? That's a lark, I didn't know what it was, but McWhirter says it's a true California meadow lark!" "I thought you would sleep late," Stan sald, "This wicked boy comes in and wakes me!" she protested, tous- ling Jim; and catching his little face in her two hands to kiss it. Stan thought her human and ac- cesaible and nice in thls morning mood, She was always charming in her relationship to ths child. "Come, Dimski," she said. "Run up and have Nara do your hair, for breakfast." "How do you feel four hours' sleep?" stil] with that odd upon him, as they after' only Stan asked, enchantment sauntered up membered last night and his help- ing hand, and thought he would nervous fingers, She glanced at him as If almost surprised at the little elvility, and be remembered suddenly that it was only in his own thoughts that their relationship had altered since yesterday, "I need very little sleep," she returned politely. But a sudden recollection of Shirley Wilson, and the hurt and humiliation he had endured at the hands of this une known siren, made her soften, and she added, "Your aunt and I were talking until after two." "I eall that imposing on you!" Stan sald. Margaret, who had now settled Jim in a high chair made no reply, "I'll be hanged if | see how you can stand it!" Stan add- ed, "Shut up here with a delicate woman and a kid, never having any fun---' "On the contrary," Margaret, said, quickly disclaiming his sym- pathy, "Your aunt is a very unm- usual woman---unusually kind, I-- I am only too happy to be with her!"

He was just a year old, 'It seemed to me...." she stopped, and did not go on. But Stan knew that heartache, some weariness after the buffeting and coldness of the world, had been cured by the weight of the little sleeping body. "Here--give Miss Yorke ' her coffee first, Sadle," he said in sudden concern, to the surpris.d maid, | "I always have tea," Margaret | sald, also surprised, "You do?" Stanley found this interesting.

Mr. Bryant made a splendid stage director and dur- ing the three acts the audience was kept in good humour by the wise cracks from the different charae- ters. The Audley people deserve much credit and are getting much favourable comment for the splen- did way in which they gave this play, there being not a single stage error or any prompting which sometimes is so noticeable. Be- tween acts the audience were enter- tained by accordian selections by Mr. Levi Arksey, of Brooklin, This was so much enjoyed that we hope he may soon favor us again.

Tracing the history of various | pre-discoveries of America he point- ed out that the quest of gold and | the imposition of old world stan. |dards had always dominated in [these discoverfes, at least until the arrival of Champlain in this pro- vince, Champlain had given his imagin- ition and his soul to the new world. "t would > been well for the world if those who succeeded him, those who dwell here today, could give themselves to the New World as he did, to appreciate the tandarde, the ideals, the beauties of the new world as he did. But wverywhere one found the inspira- tion, the impulse to impose on the new world the standards of the old. There was even a notable tendency {In gome quarters to encourage im- | migrants from all parts of the world to conserve the traditions, 'ustome and ideals' bf their native land and make of the New World a ieort of mosaic of old world prac- Mr. Callaghan said. There was a genius which be- longed exclusively to the New World and it was of great impor- tance that its dwellers should try |to eatch a glimpse of that genius, not to try to Impose on it the civili- ation of the old world. For example, nothing seemed to new tices, The senfor room of the school is closed this week due to the illness of Miss Orilla Taylor with inflenza, Her many friends wish her a speedy recovery, At Sunday school on November 23rd all enjoyed the special music provided by little Master Arthur Hawkins playing the violin and ac~ companied on the piano by his small cousin, Master Kelvin James.

H, Robinson and Mr. Norman Bass, Mrs. Le Roy, Sr, of Toronto, wad the guest of her son, Frank Le Roy and Mrs, Le Roy, recently. of a Gothic cathedral in New York, the speaker said, On the other hand, little though Americans or Canadians realized jit, there was something in the huge office build- ngs being erected on this side of the Atlantic which spoke peculiarly of the New World character, They belonged to the western shores of the Atlantic and were the founda- tions of a western type of archi- tecture which would ultimately come to be as specifically American as the Gothic was European. Let no one be frightened by the charges of vulgarity or the com- monplace in connection with such a tendency, he added. The Eliza- hethans were charged with being vulgar in their writing, with em- ploying the local vernacular, and even slang in their writings, yet by so doing they enriched their lan- zuage to such a point as to create the finest period of the whole of English lMterature. It was important that the litera- ry, the artistic and even the com- mercial and industrial sections of the New World population strive to rediscover the soul and genfus of America, rather than persist in | trying to impose upon it the stan- dards and traditions of the Old World, he concluded. - Mr. and Mrs. Haley, of Hamilton, CRICKET GROUNDS |, Mr and Mra.
