Chapter IS UNCLE EDWARD IN a moment Georgia wai vide awake, realizing that It was mere ly ber uncle coming borne from the Boar's Head. Sbe passed a trembling band over her roughened hair and vent out Into the hall to meet him. Edward Bancroft itood at the foot of the stain, bis face Hushed and bis hat on the floor at his feet; he stared at Georgia for a moment In silence. then be burst out: "What's all this nonsense? Where's Lovelock?" Oeorgle's Up trembled. "Dr. Dudd sent her to the hospital; she's 111.' "till" he swayed a little. "1111 Rot and rubbish," he stormed as Georgia bad known he would. "Over eaten. that's what's the matter with ber. Look at met Do I ever make a pig of myself?" "Not with food," Georgia said. He swayed a litis closer to ber. "What d'you mean by that?" be demanded thickly. "Yon mean that I drink, I suppose, do yon? A nice thing when a man's own whipper- snapper of a niece tells him he's drunk." "I didn't say yoa were drunk," Georgle said. She was very near tears; the events of the day bad shattered her nerves. "But all tbo same I think yqn've bad enough e-d you ought to go to bed." "Had enough, have I?" he roared "And who gave yon permission to tell ma when I'd had enough? Go to bed and mind your own business." "I'm going," Georgia said, thank ful to be dismissed so easily, but when she would have passed him to mount the stairs, be caught her by the arm, swinging her roughly round to him again, "Lovelock's gone, has she? Well you can go too, and good riddance. I'm sick of white-faced, nseloss fe males about the bouse. What good are you, anyway, I should like to know; standing there staring at me with your moon-etruck eyes. Just -like your 'mother; the same self ish .. ." Georgia suddenly regained her courage. "You can leave my mother out of the question," sbe said with spirit. "And as for staying here, do you think I want to stay It I'd sot any where else to go?" she broke off with a little cry of alarm. "Oh, you're not going to hit me?" "Hit you." He kept his rough hold of her for a moment staring at ber with bis blood-shot eyes, then sud denly he pushed her from him with all bis strength, so unexpectedly that her light body was flung bsck be fore she could make any attempt to recover herself. Sbe bait swung round In a desperate attempt to catcb at something to save herself from falling and ber bead came Into violent contact with the heavy oak balusters. "That'll teach yoa, perhaps, my lady," Edward Bancroft muttered, and with a grim laugh ot satisfac tion be slunk oft unsteadily to bis library leaving Georgle where she had fallen. NICHOLAS BOYD came slowly down the winding old staircase et the Boar's Head and, orosslng the deserted lounge, looked out at the sunshine. Dr. Dudi' bad advised him to He up tor a day or two longer, but Nich olas was not a man to take advice, 0 this morning he had dressed and had been tempted by the bright sun shine to venture out, Nicholas walked slowly down the road, his thoughts many miles away, tor only that morning he bad re ceived a letter from his wife, char acteristically flippant and selfish. In forming hi t that she bad at last got the opportunity she had long desired and that those who were in a posi tion to know, were assured that she was well on ber way to heoomlng a great star. "I am to play opposite Roy Fran els In a story called 'Moonlight.' It seems funny, doesn't It, that you and I should suddenly have changed places In the world. I wonder what yon are doing? Isn't It rather silly to bury yourselt as yon have done? it any rate I am sure that now yon will see bow wise I was not to have .j with you. It 1 bad, 1 should nave missed this chance, but as It Is, tbe dream of my life fcss come true." "Tbe dream of my life has come true" Sbe had said almost those same words to him when they were first married when she was basking In tbe reflected sunshine of his glory, when sbe was someone because of btm. He wondered If be envied ber or If tbe noise and artificial glamor ot the life from which be was cut off bad ceased to mean anything to him. In those days tbere had always been anxiety, striving, fear leBt yet auother star should fall Into ob scurity, whereas now be knew tbe worst, tbere was nothing any longer tc hope tor, or dread I It was so peaceful bare In tbe heart of England; tbe trees and fields and hedgerows were like faces of half-lorgotten friends which one recognizes with quiet g'.sdness to And tbem singularly unchanged. Nicholas had no thought tor the future; be was like a ship-wrecked vessel that has been washed Into calm waters and Is glad to rest awhile. He found himself suddenly by the gate whore Georgle had loaned and wept tbe morning after tbey both came borne. Funny little soull A half smile crossed his face as he thought of her, and ot tbe Innocent way In which she bad tried to force her friendship pon him. ONLY last night Dr. Dudd bad spoken to blm half apologetical ly, of a German doctor who could work miracles on battered faces like his own; yes, Dudd bad been very apologetic, tearing no doubt to touch with an ungentle hand the thing which was responsible for bis pres ence in this sleepy village. It was another surprise that he should not In the least have resented It, "In these days of marvelous sur gery," Dudd had said. "I know ot two apeclflo cases myself absolute ly satisfactory" No doubt In Dudd's eyes he was as ugly as that other almost forgot ten world bad found blm, as prob ably everybody had found him. - "Except Georgle," the thought came unbidden Into bis mind. Sbe had not sbrujk from him; her steady eyes bad rested on bis face with sweet, whole-hearted friendship. seeing nothing ot Its disfiguration. But she was only a child; a child to be pitied If Dudd and Mrs. Spears were to be believed. Nicholas bad seen Edward Bancroft, and bad felt a sort of contemptuous pity for blm. He bad met many men of the same type bofore, and It was only when one thought of blm In relation to Georglo that tbe contemptuous pity was toucbod with something harder and difficult to explain. Possibly Edward Bancroft seemed less repulsive and Impossible to Georgle than be did to tbe rest o" tbe world, Nicholas thought, and hoped that It was so. She was young and some day she would marry. Funny to think ot that child being married; he rememberod ber quaint ly outspoken words to blm on ths boat about some man who had asked her to dance. "I bated the way he looked at me, and so 1 wouldn't." Yes, she was Just a child with an Innate sense of purity and the fit ness of things; he hoped when ths right man came along be would be a decent follow and bring ber the happiness sbe had so tar tailed to And. Poor little kid I Nicholas Boyd turned and walked slowly back. He wondorod what sort of a house tbey shared togother, this Ill-assorted pair, and with suddenly aroused curiosity he stopped a farm lad who was coming whistling down the road and asked where be could And the Hollies. Georgle had descrlbod tbe house to him. Old," she had called It, "and rather dingy." Hardly a fitting; set ting for anyone so llghthearted and charming. Tbe lad pointed up the road with a brown Anger. First on the left; stands back be hind a 'oily 'edge." Nicholas took the road Indicated. Yes, Oeorgle's description had been correct;' "old and rather dingy." And then a sudden Impulse came to Nicholas Boyd. He would call and see her. He had thrown ber roses Into the sea perhaps the only roses he should hare kept were those he had so ungraciously discarded.. He pushed open the gate and walked np to the front door.
