CHAPTER XI
WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE
Lisbeth Carmichael broke
her engagement to Miles Bene-
dict and ran away to New
York. She did not love Mlles
as she had Jon, whose father
was now married to her
mother. In an effort to save
her mother from a blackmailer,
she had lost the respect of Jon,
broke her engagement to Miles
and left Chicago. Jon found
out the truth from a letter
from Casey, his mother's
friend.
But he would find her again.
Be must find her. He must tell
her how wrong he'd been and ask
forgiveness and beg her to come
back. To come back, a small, clear
voice within him asked, to Miles?
tut Miles had said -what was it
Miles had said? Jon scowled, try-
ing to remember. Something about
Lisbeth not caring as he eared.
Something about her ,having loved
before. But if • she hadn't loved
Reid Terry
Now for the first time Jon
found himself remembering, with-
out
ithout 'bitterness or suspicion, those
early days of his association with
Lisbeth in New • York. Recalling
their sweetness and the breadth
and depth of that feeling of his
that there was more to come
.Could Lisbeth have shared that
certainty? Could she have hoped
as he had hoped at first? He
would know, he must know, as
soon as he had found her . . and
he would find her . .

Tthe Palm Grove was not a fash-
ionable night spot. Chicago cafe
society was serenely unaware of
its very existence. Nevertheless,
Herman Behrens, who owned and
operated the unpretentious little
place, was content.

AUCTIONEERS
From his small, cluttered office
near the check room, Berman sup-
erintended the ''a1m Grove like a
benevolent if slightly ruffled hen
with one demanding chick. He
trusted no detail of management to
his subordinates. He hired and tir-
ed and made.decisions. He kept a
fat, but sensitive finger on the
pulse of his respectable, middle-
class clientele. And he made
money -
If the fact that the 'Palm Grove
man no whit, it was nothing less
than a .godsend to his newest en-
tertainer. Lisbeth Carmichael felt
as safe from observation by any-
one who knew her aa though she
had died and opened her eyes at
last on a totally alien and singu-
larly uncelestial hereafter. Some-
times, looking back at that other
life of hers, that distant, different
life, it seemed to Lisbeth as though
something of the sort must have
happened. Leaving • Jon, leaving
Gay, freely and of her own accprd,
amounted to a sort of dearth. And
surely the days which followed
that abrupt cleavage from all that
she held dear, that dazed, uncer-
tain period when she had not
known- what to do, which way to
turn for surcease from the pain
within her, might be likened to
purgatory.
Lisbeth Gets Week As
Singer At Palm Grove
She had had to find work, that
much was certain. And there was
so little she could do, so little that
was useful or important. But she
could sing. And surely in a c'ty
the size of Chicago there must be
places where people of the Ever -
tome class did not go, plats they
didn't even know about. And, oue
of those places might need a sing-
er. Systematically, Lisbeth set
about finding the one.
Perhaps the fact That she felt
so little like singing lent a quality
of heartbreak to her, throaty, mov-
ing voice. She stood one Septem-
ber morning ie the slightly echo-
ing confines of the Palm Grove,
and sang, not because it was new,
but because Herman Behrens, hap-
pened to need a winger who could
put over that sort of song. Thanks
for the .Memory. And Herman sat
and watched and listened!.
When Lisbeth sang, with a little,
breathless break in her low voice,
a warm personality of feeling,
"Darling, how are you . -
And how are all the little
dreams
That never did come true?"
Herman, who was a simple person
and unashamed of single senti-
mentality, found himself with
tears in his eyes. And Lisbeth
found herself with a job.
It was a Very satisfactory job.
You reported at the Palm Grove
quite early, six o'clock, for the din-
ner show. And you were• busy, off
and on, until two, when •the place
closed. It was fairly easy to fall
asleep at .that hour, even for Lis -
beth, who didn't sleep toow well.
And, if she tried hard, she usually
managed to lie abed until ten.
Bathing, dressing. doing one's
nails could be drawn out to un-
believable Lengths. One grew adept
at prolonging small duties, trivial
occupations. Then there was a
combined breakfast and lunch to
linger over. Sometimes Lisbeth
ate alone, more often with Carol
Bemis, who did a solo tap routine
and some chorus work at the Palm
Grove.
Carol and Lisbeth •had rooms in
the same ancient brownstone front
on Jackson Boulevard. It was Car-
ol who had recommended the place
to Lisbeth, or to Lissa Crane, as
the copper -haired young singer had

(R' rr-TT
•
introduced hereel't to Herman
Life -
beth, who ;had, been tralliag !haat
and forth. to her new -Wert fxazq'
an obscure downtown hotel, had
welcomed the other girl,'s suggest
tion gratefully.
Carol was kind and. friendly.
And Lisbeth had need of kindness
and friendship. The other girl's
pert, rather scornful little face
between the sleek wings of dark
hair, her breezy, casual manner,
were blessed realities in a world
fantastically strange. .Carol knew
her way around in that fantastic
world. She had been hoofing eince
she was fifteen, and she was
twenty now, Lisbeth's" age in ac-
tual years, infinitely older in ex-
perience.
It was Carol who insisted, when
Lisbeth had been singing at the
Grove less than a month, "You're
too good for thisplace, kid. And
that's not idle flattery, You've got
something" - Carol floundered a
little,' trying to define it-I'some-
thing the big-timers have. You're
foolish to be marking time at the
Grove!"
Lisbeth stared at her. She had
grown accustomed to the too -bril-
liant evening gowns Herman want-
ed her to wear. No longer did the
rim of vague, white faces beyond
the circle of her spotlight have the
power to make her -frightened and
unsure. The unfailing applause
that climaxed her numbers con-
tinued to please, but no longer so
utterly astonished her. And she
had come to depend upon the set-
tled pattern of her days, the an-
onymity of being Lissa Crane, of
being nobody. • She had even dar-
ed to hope that a shell against
pain and loneliness and yearning
was slowly forming.
Now Carol wanted to change all
that. Dazedly, her hands clenched
hard together, Lisbeth listened to
her friend's earnest voice: "Hank
things you're swell, too. And re-
porters aren't pushovers, you
know. Hank gets around. He could
introduce you to some orchestra
leaders, maybe get you a radio
audition."
Carol was crazy about Hank
'M'erriam. Just speaking of him,
her rather hard young eyes soft-
ened a little.
Lisbeth said, "No! Oh, no, Carol.
It's -nice of Mr. Merriam to be
willing to bother -but I'd rather
not."
Lisbeth Ran Into An
Acquaintance on the Street
Lisbeth had met Hank once.
One night at the Grove she had
been persuaded, to have a ginger
ale at Carol's and Hank's. table.
And Hank had studied her oddly,
a wrinkle of concentration be-
tween his brows, and had asked:
"Haven't we met before? At least,
I've seen you somewhere." Then,
as Lisbeth continued to shake her
head. he dismissed the matter,
grinning. "Maybe I caught your
act at some other night spot."
She hadn't bothered to deny
that.
Now • Carol was demanding,
"Why- on earth not? Haven't you
any ambition? There's no future
for you at Hermah's. Do you think
I'd be there if I could get anyy-
Ghing better? Hoofers are a dime
a dozen these days -• but you're
different."
Lisbeth tried to explain: "It
isn't that I'm not ambitious, But,
I need experience, and the Grove
is as good as any to acquire it.
Later, perhaps, when I'm more
sure of myself, when I wouldn't
be so likely to fail . . It was
as near the truth as she dared to
come.
And Carol exclaimed, her black
eyes snapping, "Of all the in-
feriority complexes,! You're just
nuts, kid!" She relaxed a little
then, smiling her gamin smile.
"But it's your own life, so I
suppose you can bury yourself if
you want to."
She couldn't know how apt her
comment was. Lisbeth had buried
herself, She wanted to stay bur-
ied . ,
Lissa Crane needed new even-
ing sandals and some gloves and
a heavier coat. So she and Carol
rose early one golden, frosty Oc-
tober morning and made their
way to the Loop to procure them.
On the street they passed a
slim, fair girl in a rust -toned
suit who glanced at them idly.
And then her eyes widened and
she exclaimed. "Lisbeth Carmich-
ael!"
But Lisbeth hurried on, staring
straight before ber. And Carol,
after one inquiring backward
glance, hurried with her. Anyone
could make a mistake. The blonde
girl evidently had done so.
"I guess she took you for some-
one else." Carol remarked.
ed??" Lisbeth sounded astonish -

From Goderich, through the med-
ium of the Toronto Star of Dec. 2,
comes the notice that the young
bloods of our beautiful county seat
are out to pep up their town. One
of them is quoted as asserting that
the repeal of the Canada Temper-
ance Act is a "must'' in their plan.
He .states that Goderich under the
C.T.A. is wetter than Toronto.
That's a sample of the irresponsi-
ble loose talk of wet propaganda.
So is the myth that- more outlets
mean less drinking. Huron Coun-
ty and all its towns is enjoying an
era of unprecedented prosperity.

periods are progressing. The stu-
dents can honestly say that these
periods are interesting and fun if
you make them so. Much time and

the teachers, to provide enjoyment
for the boys and girls. But the
main idea •behind it was to keep us
occupied during that last half hour.
In Hobby Craft (Per girls only)

to do. Some have chosen wood

or table tops. Others like to design

St. Patrick's Church, Dublin,
Founded 50 Years Ago
•
More than 50 years ago two busi-
ness men in Dublin, Jacob Weber
and Matthew Williams, talked over
the necessity of having a Roman
Catholic Church in the village and
decided to consult the bishop of
the diocese of London for permis-
sion to go ahead with the construc-
tion of a church the following year,
1900. As the bishop was going to
give confirmation in Seaforth in a
few weeks, Jacob Weber, Matthew
Williams and Dennis O'Leary went
to see his lordship and he told them
that he had been appointed Arch-
bishop of Toronto diocese, but that
he would tell Bishop McGray, who
was to succeed him in London, of
the proposal.
Bishop McGray called a delega-
tion of Dublin men to London and.
told them that if they could col-
lect a sizeable amount of money,
they had his consent to go ahead.
They did so. Then the bishop ap-
pointed the late Rev. Wm. Fogarty,
curate' at the time to the late Dean
Murphy, at the head of a commit-
tee interested. in the building of
the church. The committee con-
sisted of Jacob Weber, Bernard.
O'Connell, Patrick Woods, Frank
McConnell, Matthew Williams and
Thomas Ryan.
In the spring of 1900 they 'pur-
chased the old Joseph Kidd estate
from 3, J. McKenna, and work
was started on what was to be
St. Patrick's Church.
The first sod was turned in the
early spring of 1900 and the cor-
nerstone was laid May 25, 1900, by/
his lordship, Bishop McGrayr..-a-
sisted by Dean McGee, Stratford;
Father O'Neil, nkora; Father
McCabe, -Seafort f Father West,
Goderich, and,- ther Downey, Log-
an.
The. contractors were Davis and
Eizerman, Mitchell, and the archi-
tects, Moore and Henry, London.
Alex Darling, of Dublin, drew the
first load of bricks. The altars,
statues, stations of the cross and
other fittings, were donated by
different members of the parish.
