Ayres Ji SOPM&: StcHotat Uoyd, . mnvts ttar tchott carter hat been cut thort by an accident which mart hit tart, hat been touched hv the devotion of vouna Georait Bancroft. At tatt ht callt on her jutt at vcord comet of tht death of the hautekeeper who tervet Oeor oi and her hard-drinking uncle. Partly out of pity, he hat contented to vaiVt with Georgit; now ht teilt her ht tuddenly hat eomt into a targe legacy and te ooina to Germany lor an operation that may da atcay vith hit tear, ft t re minde her tht it to have tvneh next day with a young man in London. Chapter 23 GEORQIE CONFESSES VH, that!" GeonU swallowed a "little lump that would keep rls In I In her throat. "I'd forgotten that," she aald helplessly, and then "I won't (o It you don't want me to." He made no answer, and the aald with a note of resentment In her voice: "But I suppose you don't care whethor I go or not." "Of course you must go; you don't hare much enjoyment" The little lump was rising again Id nor throat "It won't be enjoyment," aba aald. "Of course It will," he Insisted. 'It's good for you to be with young people. I am rery glad your other trlond la coming for the week-end, Kelly do you call her?" be aauamed tor tier lo know yon'i .acta friends with me. I'm alwayi the one that's left out of every thing!" Nicholas said gently: "Don't be s silly little girl, Georgle "Silly little girl yes, that's all you think I am," she broke out pas sionately. "Well, I'm not. Clifford doesn't think so he likes me It you don't Kelly was right what she said about men that they're all horrid, really. But I did think yon were dlfterent" she added, ber rolce breaking on a sob and then passion ately: "Oh, why don't yon eay some thing!" "Anything I can say will only make you dislike me more," Boyd said stiffly. "Let's go borne, shall we 7" Her bewildered anger and pain burst Into fresh flame. "Yes, go home. Get lid of me aa quickly as you can," she taunted him. "I auppose you think I'm In lore with you." She gave a misera ble little laugh. "Well, and so I am lc love with you," she said defiantly. Nicholas turned slowly round and looked it ber; he was rather white and his eyes were unutterably sad. His Hps moved as It be would haTe spoken, but Georgle gave Mm no opportunity; she turned and fled away from him out of the wood and FSs i In She felt as If she were burning with shame. "I've put her oft," Georgle said quickly. "I didn't really want her; at least . . . she's all right of course, but If she was bore I knew I couldn't go for a walk with you, and so I wrote and put her off." Nicholas moved suddonly, rising slowly to hit foot "There's somothlng else I hare to say to you, Georglo." "Yos?" She looked up at him, her yes heavy with nameless trouble. "It's about those walks. I think this must be the last." Her lips moved, but no words came, and he went on rather clumsi ly. "I shall have a great deal to do after today, getting ready to go away, It'j b,een very enjoyable see ing you like this, but now" she In terrupted quickly: "It's because your wife Is coming home?" "It's nothing lu Uu with my wife, and she won't be here for another fortnight at least It's for no reason eicept tbe one I've given you, that I shall be busy." There waa a long alienee, then Georgle aald quietly: "Very well." He avoided looking at her. "I'm sorry, Georgle," he said. She stood up, brushing the bits of leaves from her skirt "I didn't know friendships only lasted a week," she said In a trem bling voice. "That's unkind," ' he answered. And untrue." GEORGIB felt as If something In her brain suddenly caught Are and burst Into flame. "It's an excuse," she said shrilly. "That's what It Is, Just an excuse. Tou don't like being seen with me, I'm not pretty enough or Interest ing enough. You can't be so busy that Just an hour every day la too much to spare. I know you didn't want to he frlenda with me really you were Just sorry that day Lovelock died. Now you've had enough of It and It's a good chance to send me about my business. You're wife's coming home, and l know sbe's smart and pretty. You'd Into tbe road, never atopptng till she reached borne. MRS. DRILL met her In the hall and Georgle pulled up sharply, breathless and panting, ber cheeks scarlet "My goodnoss," Mrs. Drill said blankly. "Have you been chased by a wild built" Georgle could not' answer; she turned blindly and went up to her room, shutting the door behind her, then she stood leaning against It with her eyes shut, till ber racing heartbeats, which seemed to be choking her, steadied down, and she realised what ahe had done. She had told a married man that she loved him, a famous man, who but for an unkind freak of fata would never bare crossed her patb. Perhaps he had known It all along, and that waa why he had aald they could not have any more walka together: she felt aa If ahe were burning from head to foot with shams. At any rats It waa all at an end. He waa going away. "Ships that pats In the night" Nelly had said; Nelly seemed to know all there was to know about lite. Nicholas was going away, and per haps when he came back he would not be 111 or disfigured any more; not a fallon star but the handsome, famous man he had been when she had sat and admired him from a CO cent aeat before tbey ever met A audden passionate thought rose In Georgle'a heart Supposing the operation was not a success t For t wild moment she found herself hop ing that It might not be, but tht next she waa pushing the thought from her almost in terror. Horrlbls to wish such a thing; how could shi be so wicked? She felt the tears running down her cheeks aa she turned away tram the mirror. "I suppose after all It la true, and I am In lore with him." she thought hopelessly. "Ilecause I don't mind a bit vhat happena to me If only he's all right." tCopyright. tut, Doubleday Doran) Qcorele morrow. hit thrilllna ftsws te- LOYAL WORKERS CLASS TO PICNIC WEDNESDAY Loyal Workers' clue will hold a clsaa plcnlo party Tuesday at 8 p. m. at the home of Mr. and Mra.
