FAIR WEATHER GIRL
B ERNIE u prettjr enough. Men
raved about her ehlna blue
yea and yellorf hair. Nicholas
had raved about her himself, once;
funny that now (he ahould aeem so
like a doll with empty staring blue
yes, and red, foolishly parted lips.
A doll which when It was wound
ip would say rapidly
"I can't ... I can't lire In Eng
land." He moved restlessly his Injured
lg still pained him sometimes.
"If I stay here" she began, then
broke off, and Boyd laughed. .
"Don't tell me again yon can't lire
in England It's getting rather
monotonous. You'll be all right It
jron stay here a girl like you always
falls on her feet KiUIck will see to
that."
known to the uuiuiliated as a single
night, Into a star.
And sow, just as Jaffor had
squeezed every drop oE value out of
his meteoric rise, so Jaffer had
squeezed every drop of publicity out
ot the tragedy that had brought
about bis fall.
How the film magazines had loved
ltl
"Nicholas Boyd, great English
Film Etar, rescues beautiful girl
from certain death."
Pages ot photographs, paragraphs
of biography.
"Unfortunately Mr. Boyd was
slightly Injured In his gallant at
tempt, but we can assure his admir
ers that he will make a complete
recovery."
Complete recovery! with the Iron
boot of a horse lashing bis face, and
frantic fett tramping his body.
It bad happened during the re
hearsal ot one of the big scenes for
his new picture, a circus procession
through streets. An Inexperienced
girl had been riding one of the show
horses, and the horse had taken
fright at the sudden blare of a band,
and had reared violently.
She had been In danger of being
trampled to death when Nicholas
dashed forward. He bad dragged tbe
girl Into safety before he stumbled
and fell.
"And why the hell yon need have
His soarred face grinned baek at him.
He looked away from her, won
dering why he was no longer Jealous
ot Kllllck; perhaps he was no longer
capable of any emotion.
Bernle made a little Involuntary
step towards htm, then stopped. As
be was sitting now she could not see
the disfigured side of his face, but
(be knew If be turned his bead. ...
She said unwillingly "Don't yon
)ove me any morel"
"Don't you think that is a ques
tion I ought to ask!" Boyd answered.
He dragged himself to his feet
gain. "Go to bed," he said Irritably,
and without another word she stole
past him and Into the adjoining
room.
Nicholas stood looking after her.
She was his wife, this girl, tbe wo
man he had held In his arms and
loved; the woman he could still love
It only ... he waited a moment, his
)lps set In a hard line.
Then the door between them slow
ly closed and he heard the little
sound of a key turning In the lock,
NICHOLAS Boyd was thirty-five.
Jaffer bad made clever capital
out ot his age, acclaiming that It
was nothing short of a miracle that
man who had never been trained
either for stage or screen, a man no
longer very young, should In a night
as It were, achieve greatness.
Nicholas bad wandered out to
Hollywood as so many people do
when all other doors seem closed to
them, and by the merest luck had
been discovered. His appearance had
been his chief asset
He was six foot three In bis stock
inged feet, with the sort of careless
he-man appearance that Is so at
tractive to many women.
He was not strictly speaking good
looking. He had a shock ot brown
balr which Jaffer bad Insisted must
be allowed to curl, whereas Nicholas
had spent half his lite trying to
straighten It; rather rugged fea
tures, and deep-set dark eyes.
Physically be was very powerful
He sat a horse In first-rate style,
walked with dignity, and bad a deep
extractive voice which "produced"
well. From a small part In a "crowd"
Nicholas blossomed In what Is
acted the hero when yon weren't
being paid for It, beats me," so Jaf
fer had said afterwards.
FINISHED! '
And now Nicholas Boyd lay
awake for the remaining hours of
the night also wondering why.
It had beon an Impulse of lourse,
for no man surely would be a hero
If he stopped to think what the con
sequenoes might be.
The girl had come to see him when
he was In the hospital; a poor cheap
little thing In cheaper clothes, fihe
had brought him a bunch of flowers,
and had sat beside htm tongue-tied
and miserable.
"Why did you!" was all she eould
find to say. "It wouldn't have mat
tered about mo, but you"
Well, It didn't matter about him
any longer either; the world was
through with him, and all he could
hope for was to find some kindly cor
ner In hla own country where he
could live out the rest ot bis days.
It there was still a desire left In
his heart as he lay awake during the
breathless night. It was tor home.
Had ha ever been well and strongf
Had he ever been able to dash
across open country and spring onto
a galloping horseT Had the cheers
ot a crowded house ever risen deaf
eningly as his prowess was paraded
before them on the screen?
Jaffer had labelled him "The man
ly lover."
His scarred and crooked face grin
ned back at him Ironically In tbe
mirror. An ugly devil! That was tbe
label be would have to bear In fu
ture. No wonder Bernle shivered
when she looked at him.
And yet there were women In the
world who had gone on loving men
who bad come back to them from the
war, blinded, maimed hideous. Per
haps Bernle was something leu
than a woman.
"The world forgetting, by the
world forgot"
The words floated subconsciously
Into his mind.
