Chapter Seven GIFT FROM NICHOLA8 NICHOLAS Anally said, "Ton must I ' hate been very young Then je died." "I was seven, but I can remember him quite well. He'd only been dead a year when mother married again, "So much lor everlasting con. stsncy," Nicholas said cynically. "I don't blams her," Georgia said quickly. "She'd been used to every thing she wanted, and sbe couldnt have It atter he died. She simply bad to get married again." "For money t" "Yes. Everything my father had he left for me." "And so you're a young woman of wealth?" "No. I've got about fifteen hun dred dollars a year. It doesn't go very far." "What do yon do with It!" "I spend most of it on theaters and things like that I love the the ater and the pictures. I've always wanted to go on the stage." "Good God I" Nicholas sat np sud denly, a heavy frown on his faoe, "Don't be a little fool. It's a hell of a lite.1' "Is Itr Georgia said wistfully. "I should love to be able to make peo ple happy. I should love to see great big theater full of people all laughing and applauding because 'they liked me." A big sailing vessel was oroselng the path of moonlight that lay aoross the quiet bosom of tbe sea. A fairy .ship It looked. Its dark silhouette tinged with gold, Its sails like wings of sliver. r Georgia started up "Oh, let's go and look at th ship." They weLt out onto the open deck and leaned on the rails. It was a warm, still night, and the great vessel seemed hardly moving as they looked down at the silent sea far below. '!And to think we've got to leave It all," Qeorgle whispered. She was standing very olose be side him, their arms almost touch' Ing, and she said suddenly: "I won der It we shall ever meet again." He laughed. "Some day, perhaps, the world Is small." She looked up at blm, her face very fair In the moonlight "I suppose you won't come and see me, even If I give you my ad- . dress?" IT seemed a long time before be answered; then he said unemo tionally: "When you've travelled as much as I have you will know that people you meet at sea always seem far more attractive than tb,ay do When you meet them on land. There's an unnatural glamor." "I know," Georgia said. "Nelly was saying something of the same sort this evening. You know she's had quite a love affair with that man 1 told you about but ahe says she doesn't supposu she'll ever see him again when they get to England She'd been crying. I expect I shall cry too, when w get to Southamp ton." "You will? What for? You haven't had a love affair with anyone." Gcorgle turned her face away, one sand clutching the wooden rail with frantlo fingers. "But I shan't see yon any more," sue almost whispered. He must have heard she knew quite well that he must have heard. but It was a long time before he spoke. "I'm thirty-five," he said then, very quietly, "And I'm a married man. You're twenty-one, and all your life Is before you. You've been kind to me don't spoil It all by making yourself absurdly and senti mentally miserable evon for five minutes. I shan't forget you. I be lieve I've even grown, well, fond of you In a way. But when we get to England" he broke off. A sudden tear splashed down onto Oeorgle's crimson frock. "I will see him again, I will," she told bersolt passionately. She moved suddenly to turn to him, and the old silver cigarette ease sbs had been holding slipped from ber hand and fell Into tbe dark sea below. She gave a little cry of pain "Oh . . . it'a gone. . . ." "Yes, It's gone right enough,' Nicholas said grimly. "Why, yon baby, you're not crying. . . ." "I wouldn't have lost it for the world ... It was my father's. I loved It . . ." TJH touched her arm "Lefe walk A along. The band has stopped and people will be coming this way." She went with him obediently, walking "lowly to keep paoe with bis dragging step, brushing her hands across her wet eyes. "You're like a little girl who bar mm s "Nelly's had a love affair." broken her doll," Nicholas said, teaslngly. She laughed brokenly. I m not only crying because of he cigarette case." "If only you wouldn't be so dam nably truthful," he said ruefully. They reached a deserted part of the long deck again and Nicholas stopped. I'd like yon to have my case, if you will," he said. He took it from his pocket "It's a presentation af fair, but I don't want It Luckily our last Initials ar the same. Will yon have It Robin?" 'I should Move it," Georgle said with a sob. He put his hands on her shoulders, turning her so that the moonlight foil full on her face. "No more tears," he said. "You shan't see them anyway." "But there mustn't be any more." "I can't promise that" He looked at her with strange expression In his eyes, then he sold softly. "Goodbye my little friend." Georgle'i Hps moved, but no words came, then suddenly and be fore he could prevent her, she stood up on tiptoe and kissed him on the scarred side of his face. Nicholas caught his breath and his hands tightened their grip on her shoulders, then very deliberate ly he took them away. She stood looking up at htm, trem bling, then she said brokenly: Nelly was right You have to kiss a man before you know It yon . , . really love him. ..." Then she ran away from him down the deserted deck, and Nicho las Boyd stood looking after her. looking atter her even when she had disappeared from sight (Copyright, tut, Doubledav Dor an) Nelly, tomorrow, hts a dire pre. monition.
