The Huron Expositor, 1950-11-10, Page 7isa • NQV'g.: 10 1900 CHAPTER VI WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE Lis Carmichael lived with her widow mother, Gay, until they met the Evertons. Lis was in love with Jon, when Gay met and married Mr. Ev- erton. Lis knew that her mother had married for "se- curity;' and she was sure that Jon's love for her had turned to hate. At the Everton's home Lis met Miles Benedict who became very attentive to Lis, while Jon ignored her as much.as possible. Llsbetih agreed without rancor. guess 1 started too Late in life. Even an expert coach like you 'can't help me." She squinted to- ward the descending sun. "Jon oughtto be home before long, though. He'll give you a workout." "What Wakes. you think I want a workout?" Mile's drawl was lazy. "This is what I deserted the office for." - How dud you manage?" Lis - beth wanted to know. "Or would that be disclosing professional sec- rets?" "Not at all," Miles assured her. "I simply explained to all the little briefs and torts' that it was spring: They seemed, to under- stand, perfectly. Clever little dev- ils!" Lisbeth said, "Nut!" indulg- ently. ndulgently. Silence, a sort of drowsy con- tent, ontent, wrapped them about. Lis - beth thought, a queer little ache in her throat, "If I had persuaded' Gay to let me stay in New York and look for work, if I hadn't suc- cumbed, finally, to her pleading, Ishould never have seen this place SPECIAL LOW RAIL FARES TO ROYAL AGRICULTURAL WINTER FAIR TORONTO NOV. 14 - 22 FARE AND ONE-HALF FOR THE ROUND TRIP.'

';.I should never have lunpwn this utter, outlaying loveliness." It sees nedl estrange to look buck from the quiet peace or this mo- ment to that old, unhappy time, that periodi of rebellion, of alien- ation from Gay. Lisbeth's deter- mination not to compromise hadi harried their last days in New York, the early ones in Lake For- est. Having accompanied• her mother unwillingly, she had, tried to steel herself against the charm of her new surroundings. But gradually the wall of prejudice and pride she had built up crumbled. It wasn't in her to remain stub- boroly aloof in the face of Carter Evertion's unfailing kindness and consideration. Lisbeth's liking for this quiet, rather grave man who was Jon's father, grew. Even at first she had pitied his obvious ddsrtaslte for the publicity that at- tended his marriage to Gay. Lis - beth., too, had hated the head- lines: HARVESTER KING WEDS EX-WIFE OF CONVICTED BROKER. But Gay hadn't seemed particularly concerned. Carter's friends, for the moat part, had been inclined to accept his unexpected marriage philoso- phically. Gay was beautiful. She had wit and charm. And these at- tributes comprise a passport to almost any society not too tradi- tion -bound. Gay was happier, more content, than Lisbeth had ever known her to be. Lisbeth could have been happy too, but for one thing. She should, she supposed a trifle wry- ly, feel grateful that Jon had made no effort to influence his friends against her. Despite his own bitter feeling . . . Lis Watched Jon and Miles Play Tennis That it remained unchanged, the smoldering resentment he harbor- ed against Gay and her, Lisibeth could not doubt. She read it in his eyes„ in the grim, controlled line of his mouth, in the imper- sonal civility of his m•anmer. She sensed it in his subtly, but un- mistakably, nmistakably, altered attitude to- ward hiss father. "Hey!" Miles' Benedict's voice broke callously in upon her rev- eries. "Have you gone to sleep?" Lisbeth opened her eyes. And there was Jon, a racket under one arm and the sun behind him crossing the lawn toward them. Lisbeth's heart lifted,. There was new beauty in the day. Jon called, "Hi, you two! Have you worn each other out entirely, or does that big lug on the ground still imagine he can beat me?" Miles raised himself on one el- bow to yell derisively, "Well, look who's talking!" And then, getting to his feet, "Lisbeth, if you can bear to watch, this should be Your Business Directory MEDICAL SEAFORTH CLINIC E. A. McMASTER, B.A., M.D. Internist P.

They proceeded to insult each other amiably and with the ease of long 'practice through two Yash sets. Lisibeith watched for a While, cheering them on impartially. When she . got up to go in aad dress, Miles called atter iter, "I'll be along for you at nine. And if you don't wear that green dress with the furbelows and what -nota, I'll know you didn't love me!" When the set •ryas finished, the two friends strolled) over and drop- ped down in deck chairs tor a final cigarette. Miles remarked, "I wish I had the luck to live in the same house with a girl like Lis - beth. I'd spend all my time at home." Jon agreed, "1'il bet you would." But he thought, "Penhaps if you knew 11101C8 about it, you wouldn't call it luck." Jon hadn't told Miles, he hadn't told anyone, of his meeting with Lisbeth in New York, nor of those first brief days, so fraught with meaning and with a sense of things to come, which had pre- ceded Gay's deliberate and, in Jon's eyes at least, obvious cam- paign to ensnare his father. There had been between him and . Lis - beth so little, _really, that could be put into words. Then had come the swift disillusionment of that nightmare trip to Bermuda and his father's infatuation. Even so, he might have sal- vaged some part of his dreams that centered around Lisbeth bust for the bitter climax of a night when, she had' stood, smiling and casual, in the embrace of a man Jon had, never seen before. He didn't think he'd ever wholly trust a woman again. Believing, and then finding out how wrong you'd been, hurt too much . . Lisbeth didn't wear the green frock of Miles! choice that night. She donned crisp white marqui- sette, fastened Miles' gardenias in her shining, copper hair, clasped a bright bracelet around a tanned wrist, and went, finally, to her mother's room tei seek the ac- colade of Gay's approval. Gay sat at her dressing table, exquisitely lovely in turquoise face. She regardedi Lisbeth's reflection smilingly in the mirror. "You look sweet, dear. Dancing with Miles?" Lisbeth nodded, and Gay said thoughtfully, "He's definitely at- tracted to you. Oh, it's quite ob- vious!" She clasped white hands around one slender knee, and all her diamonds flashed and glitter- ed. "It shouldn't ,be hard to learn to care for Miles. He's young and good-looking, he has money-" "Gay -please!" Lisbeth turned the bracelet on her wrist round and round, •studying its design, She said, "1 -am in love with someone else. At least, I think I am." Gay asked bluntly, "Not with Jon, Lisbeth? You're all over that nonsense?" "Why is it nonsense?" , Gay said; angrily, "You couldn't care for a man who despises tie! He despises you, too. Oh, he's been civil enough since the wed- ding. But I haven't forgotten the way he acted on that trip to Ber- muda! He's never troubled to hide his conviction that I mar- ried' his father for his money!" Lisbeth thought, "Well, didn't you?" But she stood silent, not wanting to hurt Gay, not wanting to quarrel. And her mother went on, "He treats you -he treats both of us, as though we were objectionable strangers who happened to be liv- ing under the same roof-" "No, Gay," Lisbeth said quietly. "You're exaggerating. He treats us civilly, and if ,he seems a little -well, impersonal, I think time will cure that. I-1 hope so." She went on quickly, before Gay could, speak, "Have a good time, what- ever you're doing, darling. I'm. going down now." Miles was, as usual, prompt. "With reason," he explained to Lisbeth, helping her carefully in- to his car and climbing in beside her. "I have an irresistible urge to drive around in the moonlight before we head for Della's dance. You don't mind?" "But, there isn't any moon," Lisbeth pointed out. There 'weren't any stars, eibher. The night wasdark, abnost saw age. It would probably storm be- fore morning. Miles said., "An, unforgivable oversight on the part of whoever attends to such things. I expected a moon -but does it matter?" SOLUTION TO BOXWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1. Knoll 4. Chasm 7. Sea 8. Irate 10. Niece 11. Scorch 15. Ova 16. Garish 19. Kennel 22. Adieu 23. Flax 25. Antes 26.

Lisbetth didn't see him acrosst the breadth of the crowded room, but Jon saw her. She was laughing up into Miles' face, and •Milesf hand rested on her arm lightly, possessively. Or did he ,imagine that? Jon wondered:. The orchestra swung into rhy- thmic action. People spoke to Jon, and he answered them adequately. :• t his eyes followed a slim' figure n white, gardenias • in her brigiht hair, dancing with Miles . On a sudden impulse Jon made his way across the room toward them and tapped his friend's shoulder. "Mee I?" Lisbeth said, "Hello, Jon," and hoped he wouldn't notice the strange unevenness of her voice or sense the sudden tumult of warm blood rushing through her veins. Miles said, grinning, 'You ,haven't my blessing, but I don't suppose that bothers you." t`.

Whew legume hays form all or 'part of the roughage fed to dairy cows of average producing ability, the need for costly, high protein feeds is reduced and the cereal grains, including wheat, can be used more widely. Wheat may replace the coarse grains' and bran in the ration of the milking cow to the extent of one-third of the total grain ration. • SHEEP -Wheat has been fed ex - Skinny men, Women gain5,10,15Ibs.
