APRIL lCtli, 1936 THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE 9 SYNOPSIS: . . .A luxurious five- month cruise around the world aboard the "Marenia” brings to­ gether* a group of passengers for adventure, romantic, entertaining . , . and tragic ... Like in “Grand Hotel” these passengers offer a study in human actions and reactions which unconsciously have their souls . . . These char­ acters are aboard the ship: Mae- il*iff, dour Scotchman, single, of middle age; Miss Mudge, school teacher, spending the savings of twenty years: Angela, faithful wife of Lovat, gigolo; Dick Charl­ ton, first officer; Clare, a person of experience; Joan, a dissipated flapper; Jenny, run-away wife and Peter; Captain Baring, master of the ship . . . and his soul. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Angela sighed and swung her par­ asol. “Sometimes I think one would be happier alt no. in a world of one’s own, The constant give and take of social relations wear one down.” Macduff's face amiable lines, detected a twinkle through less spectacles. Or was it sun on the lens? “I'm thinking that you’re was loosening in and she thought she his rim- just the ure as she saw him falling into step. Her companion grunted and pulled on his pipe. "We’ll ride to Tiger Hill together to see the dawn over Mount Ever­ est when we reach Darjeeling,” he announced, amazed at his own de­ sire to establish a deeper contact with the woman "That will be him. at his side, splendid,” she told <t -r ( 301 is delieiotas Established 1873 and 1887 at Exeter, Ontario Published every Thursday morning SUBSCRIPTION— ?2.00 per year in advance RATES—Farm or Real Estate for sale 50c. each insertion for first four insertions. 25c. each subse­ quent Insertion.

I'm painting a little, because I like to pass the time that way.” Macduff was charmed with An­ gela's way of tossing off her words. Here was a woman who might be worth her salt. She chatted about the Ganges, and gave him a lively picture of her own, impressions that morning. Yes, she was an artist. He could tell that from her choice of words. When Macduff was writing, h bothered little with externals, goin in for sombre, philosophical stuff twosome people seemed to like. It surprised him* do-- see India through the sapient eyes of an intelligent woman. Soon he was talking him­ self, and marvelling at his own flu- com- and lit a from must not very* happy,” he told her, surprisingly. "Happy enough, Mr. Macduff, but wandering in my' thoughts. To tell you the truth, they’re in England with my husband and my home.” "Tell me about your home,” “I’ve never been able to conjure it up for anyone else, although it’s so vivid in my own mind. It’s a rambl­ ing house with gables, frightfully ancient with bits that have been ad­ ded on from time to time. The ceil­ ings are low and beamed, and the dormer windows are tucked in odd places, under the eaves. It’s filled with pictures, ancient and modern, and my' dog Jock patters all over it like a presiding Turk.” Angela stopped abruptly, thinking that she had been lacking in tact and ;ed, in spite of the difference in their reserve. ❖ The afternoon rays over the Indian Ocean, shed­ ding a flutter of gold on water that heaved in a darkening swell. The aquatic sports were about to begin in the swimming pool. Patty, brim­ ful of energy, was diving repeatedly from the highest springboard. "She was born to live in a swim­ ming-suit.” Jenny said, admiringly. "A genuine water-nymph!” Peter remarked, always appreciative of the manifestations of physical perfec­ tion. Jenny saw that Clare and Patty were both in the race. It would be interesting to watch the two of them together, for they were evenly match ft ft sun fell in slanting drone,” laughed who looks the sun while for she she the Professional Cdrd?'

She cigarette and watched him under the brim of her hat. It be the cocktails. He was off like an orator. There was nothing to do but listen, now that the floodgates were open. <But would he ever come to the end of his soliloquy? Was he talkin sense or nonsense? Angela realized that the man was simply un­ used to voicing his thoughts, al­ though verbose, no doubt, on paper. She had heard vaguely of his books, but had never read anything that he had written. After this, she would try to get hold of them and see what they were like. The other people in the room who knew them were watching their table with surprise. , V-Te guas!” said Johnny to Clare. "What Macduff talking to Mrs. Wy- nant.” "It’s a miracle. I’d like to know what lie’s saying. It would be Mrs. Wynant who -would get him to talk.’ "Won’t you come with me to the river, Mr. Macduff ” Angela was saying, at the first break in their conversation. "I can’t keep away. It is the most animated canvas I’ve ever seen in my life and I’m rather keen about masses of people.’ “That’s just where you’re ent from me,” s ing his decision with Angela or "No, I won’t, dislike so much and I find it depressing to look at such thousands mucking about to­ gether.” They went out to the veranda and lie ordered liqueurs. Angela watched him, wondering if perfect frankness were not the cue in handling Mac­ duff.She leaned towards him. "You are rather a myth on the boat,” she laughed, “the man who must not be spoken to.” A deep roll of laughter shot sur­ prisingly from his throat. ‘ the i live. I interfere life.” “Then you travel around the world cruising boat. pie on the Marenia is like trying to dodge bees in a hive.” "I came on a cruising boat because it takes me to out-of-the-way ports I’d never have been able to get by any other means. Moreover, I’ve found all the isolation that I would get at home—at the least possible expense,” Macduff finished, cannily. They went out to the veranda ages, Clare was a gifted swimmer, and her speed and form were equal to the best that girls half her age could do. No woman on the boat could compete ivith her except Patty. Joan Foster was good, but she slept all day and took most of her swims late at night. Clara was in tangerine, a bril­ liant flash in the .clear -water of the tank. It suited her dusky skin. Pat­ ty was in a striking green suit. The whistle blew and the contest was on, with orange and green in the lead. Clare tore through the water like a goldfish, using the long Australian crawl. Patty made better time with the (American crawl. Johhny was perched in a corner close to Angela. His face was -set in anxious furrows, for he felt that the race had something, to do with him. (Patty won the first the second; they seemed vellously paired. Angela thinking of Johnny whom he wanted to 'Clare was leading was creeping up. Rumford?” ‘‘Oh, I’m just a Jenny. "She’s a torelei rocks to sit on in combs her hair,” said Peter. Was Jenny dreaming, or did catch a„ look of understanding, sudden raising of a curtain, between those two? Her heart missed a beat. No, that was absurd. Day­ dreams! Clare and Peter had scarce­ ly spoken to each other since they’d come on the boat, except for their chat in the lounge at Bombay, They all moved out to themselves. "Isn’t the sea Jenny murmured, "This is the first the Mediterranean that seen the water crumpled, or braking on the waves.” No one was paying any attention to what she said. “This is no place to dry,”., said Clare, shivering wjth cold. "It’s too late. The sun's gone down.” Jenny was lost in her thoughts, watching the dying sun in a semi­ trance. She would not go below while the sunset lasted. The others had already gone; she had not no­ ticed them leaving her. IShe went down to B deck and along the corridor. Her glance swept by chance towards an alleyway, and her hand went up to her mouth stop th exclamation that sprang her lips. (Continued next week) REPORT S. H.

Patty was breathing easily and turning in the water with each long stroke. Johnny’s ‘heart was pounding. Clare was losing, Did he want her to lose? He did not know. Patty was magnificent. He liked the clean sweep of her strokes. He remember­ ed his college days, and his heart went out to Patty. He knew that would root for him, but Clare witched him. But this was Patty’s race, must win! Johnn’s throat was sottpy as it used to be when he tackled8 at football. t Patty won, and, as she touched the end of the swimming-pool, he tbit his lips on a shout of jubilation. An­ gela felt his suppressed excitement and was suddenly sure of something that had puzzled her for weeks. • But it was Clare he went over'to speak to. Clare he helped out of the pool. "Good stuff, Patty!” whis­ pered Johnny as she passed him on her way to the dressing-room. "Y'ou and I’ll have a race pretty soon.” < Patty laughed in her throat, toss­ ed cap and stroke on.

I love it, the excitement, the tearing hurry, the air—such air! But to live in it—how does one manage that?” "My life is as quiet and slow as if I lived on the tip end of Corn­ wall.” "I don’t see how you can dwell among such glorious skyscrapers and feel that life is quiet and slow.
