MfF in this Prince Rupert " by UIDDEE JINKS It had been a mid-winter's day in Brussels. The water lay deep in the roadside ditches, unfrozen except for the ,ss:r; or ice across the top. But it was cold. More cold became there was little food, and little to make the food hot and less to heat the rooms. So people walked about the streets. To work, they waiKea quickly, striving to create a nat ural warmth In an undernourished body. Not at work, they moved about, old women, children, and old men, searching constantly searching for some thing someone else might have overlooked. A truck might have Dassed this wav, an army truck laden with the riches of coal. A few lumps may have dropped andi a man, shivering, stoops to run his hands through the lr7 waters, dredging the bottom. Stm shivering, he straightens. There was no coal. At the end of this day. Yvette Denis met Jack Ewart, both in Prince Rupert now. It was a co Incidence: one of the lovely ones that mushroomed out ol the hor-l ror of war days. It was evening, and Yvette started to the cinema with her cousin, and her cousins boy friend. Feeling that they should have these rare hours to them selves, she finally left them after convincing theim that she preferred to stop at the dance. Alone, she stood watching the dancing, and decided to return home. Standing near her, also watching, was a young man with a coat slung over his arm. It was the moment Cupid had been waiting for. and though they did not know It, his bow was drawn. There were a few happy months to follow, happy despite the threat of death that rained from the skies. Then, due to ln-jnjury, Mr. Ewart returned to Canada. Yvette would follow-soon, very soon. But mnths slipped away On this side, Jack stayed In Montreal, waiting: on the other Yvette tried vainly to obtain passage. And her people were fearful. She was young, so young to go to a now land, to a man whose ardor may have cooled He might not meet heT what would she do then? And then one day she got a wire. She was to sail for Canada, she and a friend whose husband was also in Canada, and who by chance, knew Jack Ewart. But when the time of departure neared, there was no further word for Yvette. The friend was In readiness. Yvette disappointec beyond words. In Canada, ack Ewart received word from the huslband that at the last moment Yvette's pass age had been cancelled. He was in Halifax working, prepared now for further waiting. Had he been In Montreal, a few wires would have changed everything, Yvette was on her way, and telling him so. But he was in Hall- fax and did not know. A great liner docked In Naw York. Eagerly, so eagerly a girl scanned a sea of faces for the only one she knew In this new continent, He was not there. There was no message. To Immigration officials, she exnlalned that her fiance was to have met her. but now she would go to him in Montreal. Ht would meet her there. She gave vhom his address, and wired again. , She arrived in Montreal, Joy f.ii. nntlelDatlng a happy re. union, and was disappointed. Hr was not there. - The next three days were disconsolate ones, spent behind bars In the Immigration ward in Montreal. Trie matron was kind, allowing her to occasionally leave her cell-like rocm to walk to another window that looked down on a busy, Montreal street "But It too was barred," said Yvette, "and there was no way to get jack heme!" In Jack's rooming house in Montreal the phone had been ringing. Immigration officers spoke to the landlady. She was deaf. She transmittec no mes sages, gave no information. Fin ally however, they reached JacX In Hallfav a lad so startled, over-Joyed and regretful that he had hardly the power to word a wire to this girl that he thought to be still in Belgium. It would have been a won derful meeting had it taken place In New York, or upon Yvette's arrival In Montreal. It could hardly have been more wonder ful than It was that nlht when Jack arrived from Halifax aftei 15 months of walUng plus three . j i uaywi ... - v Three weeks later, they were married in Edmonton, and came on to make their home in Prince Rupert. And am I glad. She Is my neighbor, this little Belgium bride.
