THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM. OREGON FRf By the World FORGOT I 1 Ofc A Ncv Serial by Ruby M. Ayr SYNOPSIS: Georsle Bancroft ha had t tell Clifford Asher that the cannot marry him because the loves another man. The other man Is Nicholas Boyd, and Nicholas is In Germany trying to have removed the scar that has ruined his career as a film star. What Is worse, he Is married. On her way home from the dance where Clifford proposed. Oeomle finds a scrap of newspaper with the head line "Movie Star Dies Suddenly." She Is horrified, until finally Bishop, her step father, finds a paper, and she learns It Is not Nicholas. She suddenly realizes Bish op's underlying kindness. Chapter 35 THE WRONG BOX He was staring straight in front of him, his mouth set in lines of pain; then he said slowly, "We're both in the wrong box, Georgie, you and I, but we might help each other by being friends, don't you think?" She did not speak, and he went on. "When your mother wanted you to come here, I thought it would be a great nuisance. I'm not used to young people about me. Perhaps you will think it odd if I tell you that you've brought the only bit of sunshine I've had in my life for a great many years. We haven't spo ken together much, you and I, but," he took his arm away, "I should like to help you if I can." He waited a moment and then asked, "Who's name was It you were afraid of reading in the paper Just now?" And Georgie told him. "Nicholas Boyd's." The husband of the woman here?" he asked. "Yes." "How did you know him Georgie?" he asked, and suddenly m rl)' MUDDY TOP NOTCH By MARY GRAHAM BONNER "You had no right to start that fcrris wheel If It wasn't In good condition," Willy Nllly said to tne man. "Well, I want' to get It working again," the man answered. I'm losing business this way." "My dog Is up there and he's as Irigntened as can De," winy nuiy cried. "I can repair a good many things. Let me see If I can help you get the wheel started." poor Rip was so dizzy, and he feared that each moment he would slide off the seat. Oh, he was so miserable. But at Inst, with Willy Nllly's help, the ferris wheel started working again, and Rip was safely down on the ground. "Oh, I thought I was there for life," Rip moaned. "Don't whimper," said the man, who did not understand what Rip was saying, but wanted to get rid of Willy Nllly and his dog. He was afraid Willy Nllly might tell some customers, who were now coming around, what had happened. So he got some bones and gavo them to Kip. Willy Nllly and Rip walked away. "I've had enough of this fair," said Rip. "So have the Bears," said Willy Nilly. "They're better now but they've been feeling quite sick. We'll go and sec if they're ready to start." But as they approached they found the Ducks had pushed Top Notch Into the little pool of water so lie would stop boasting. Top Notch had slipped in the mud, and now he was looking wet and dirty, with his blue ribbon streaked with water. Willy Nilly sighed. she found herself telling him pour ing out the thine which for so long she hod been forced to keep to herself. "And does he care for you?" Bishop asked when she had ended, "No." Georgie gave a little shaky laugh. "I'd give anything id the world if he did," she added in a broken whisper. There was a little silence. "And this woman, this Bernie Boyd," Bishop asked. "I don't think she loves him," Georgie said. "I don t know why, but somehow I don t think she docs, or she would be with him now, wouldn t she?" "A woman like that could not love anyone but herself," Bishop said He stood up and began roaming restlessly round the room in the way that always made Georgie think of a lion shut up In a cage. He came back to her at length, a tall gaunt figure in his dressing gown, his hands thrust Into the pockets. "Is your mind set at rest now? he asked. "You mean because it wasn't his name in the paper?" "Yes." Georgie sighed tragically. "If it had been I think I should have died." "People do not die so easily," he answered. Impulsively she stretched a hand to him, laying it on his arm. 'I never knew you could be s kind," she said. "Kind!" he laughed rather grim ly. "I suppose everyone is kind to one person once In a lifetime," he answered, and then, "You won't cry any more if I leave you? "I'll try not to." "Goodnight then." Georgie stood up. "I need not ask you not to tell Evelyn," she said timidly. "No," he said. "I do not betray confidences." He went away without another word or look at her, and Georgie went on with her undressing. The following morning Georgie went down to the studio to sec Bernie Boyd making a picture. Evelyn had asked for and receiv ed the invitation, and she ;was in ordinately proud of tlie fact. "Miss Boyd docs not as a rule al low strangers to see her," so she told Georgie. "But In my case she has made an exception, so you must behave and keep very quiet so as not to disturb anyone." Georgie thought she was far more likely to keep quiet than her mother was: Evelyn loved talking and air ing her views. Bishop Is coming with us, her mother said discontently. "I don't know why, but he pretends to be interested. Of course it's only pre tence; nothing really interests him except making money." Gcorgie's lips moved to say some thing, but she closed them again, realizing that it would never do for her to attempt to defend her stepfather. They drove down in Bishop's big new Rolls. "How much did it cost?" Georgie asked in curiosity when she first saw It, and she gnsped when her mother answered lightly "Oh, about ten thousand,. I sup pose." It seemed an enormous sum, Georgie thought, surely enough to keep half a dozen Nellys in break fast and other necessities for the rest of their lives! It was queer how unevenly money was divided, some people had so much they did not know what to do with It, and other people had nothing at all. She tried to remember what It was in the Bible that Christ had told someone to sell for three hun dred pence and give to the poor, and she wondered If Bishop had ever heard about It, and what he would say were it suggested to him that he sell the big car and help people like Nelly. But Bishop was very generous; out in America she had been told of some huge charitable organization which was entirely financed from ACROSS , li'iilcaucnl gem . L'lovitk'iH .

Bishop was very quiet as they drove out of London; he sat with his eyes closed, looking more tired and lined than usual, and now and then Georgie glanced at him pity ingly. She wondered why Evelyn al ways Insisted that there was noth ing the matter with him; To her in experienced eyes he looked, r very SICK man. Queer that with all his money he could not obtain the most desirable thing in the world, health. The most desirable thing after love that is, for Georgie was still young and unsophisticated enough to be live that love came first always. The studios were hot and daz zling ly lit, and full of men who all seemed very busy and Important, and in a great hurry. Georgie was introduced to several of them, and they called her "my dear" and one of them told her she had a film face. Bernie Boyd seemed to be the center of attraction, and held court like a queen, her face made up in a way which Georgie thought hide ous, but which Evelyn explained was necessary for a successful pic ture. Evelyn liked to think she knew all about the business in hand. She explained various details to Georgie in an untireiy incorrect manner, ana appeared deeply in terested. "Well, what do you think of it?" Bishop asked Georgie once. He was standing looking on with bored eyes. "Does it fire your ambition to be a star?" "I don't think so," George! said. I wonder if men have to make up like that too?" Somehow she couldn't imagine Nicholas being drilled and ordered about, and made to do the same thing over and over again until it was entirely to the director's satisfaction. Presently she wandered off to a corner of the studio by herself where a pile of photographs which she knew were called "stills" lay in an untidy heap. She turned them over curiously dozens of them were of Bernie Boyd Bernie In all attitudes, registering delight, fear, soitow. Yes, she certainly had a very beautiful face, Georgie was bound to admit, more beautiful per. haps when assisted by the skill of a camera man than when left untouched. Bishop spoke at her elbow again. "It's all right about your friend, the one who needs a job. Miss Boyd is willing to give her a trial." "Oh, how sweet of you, she said gratefully, but to her surprise Bish op frowned. I dislike that expression," he said rather curtly, and then, "Don't be gin copying your mother Georgie." "I m sorry," she said helplessly, and then he smiled. I told you last night we were both in the wrong box," he said. Bernie came up to them at that moment; she was smiling and ap parently very pleased with herself.1 She spoke to Georgie and asked if I she were enjoying herself, "Yes, thank you," Georgie said, and then, "Are you?" she asked. Bernie laughed. "Does anyone en joy work, I wonder?" she asked. She laid a very much whitened hand on Bishop's coat sleeve. So kind of you to come," she murmured in quite a different tone of voice.
