Chapter SO WORD FROM GERMANY IT WAS a day or two following her meeting with Bernle Boyd tbat Georgia ran Into Nelly Foster. There wai a cold Eaat wind blow ing, and Kelly waa harrying along, the collar of her cheap coat held closely about her chin, and her note s trifle blue. She gave one glance at Georgle and would have paaeed on, only Oeorgle barred the way. "Nelly don't yon remember me?" It waa only a lew weekt alnce they had met, but 10 much had happened that It seemed to Oeorgle as If years must bare passed since she had taken tea In Nelly's crowded little room. "I thought perhaps you didn't want me to speak," Nelly said, and then, ''My word, aren't you smart "Am I?" Georgle glanced down at her clothes; she supposed with faint satisfaction that they were rather nice. Nelly said defensively, "I thought you'd done with me, putting me off that week-end as you did, and then not writing." "Such a lot of things have hap pened," Georgle said. "I'll tell you all about It Come and have some coffee. They were outside an expensive looking Bond Street tea shop and Oeorgle had turned towards Its door before Nelly said quickly: "Not In there, thank you. I'm not dressed for places like that." Georgia felt rebuked; until re cently she would not hava dared to enter suoh a shop herself. She thought It was wonderful how quick ly one grew acclimatised to changed conditions. "Well And another, then," she aid. Nelly went with her silently, her yea on Georgle'a dainty clothes, and as sooa as they were seated at one of ho marble topped tables she broke out. "Has someone left you a fortune?" "No, nobody," Georgle said. "But I'm living with my mother now and she's well off." "Oh. Do you like ltr Oeorgle sighed. "Sometimes I do, and sometimes . . well, I sup pose people always want the things they can't have." "I shouldn't have thought there was much you couldn't have," Nel ly ssld shortly. She was feeling a little sore; life had dealt her many unkind knocks, but somehow she had expected Oeorgle to be differ ent from other people, and appar ently she was Just the tame. Oeorgle seemed to read her thoughts, for she said with sudden earnestness: "I've never forgotten you; do..'t think that. But It's been so difficult to do aa I want to do. I suppose people never can when they've got a mother to consider," she added quaintly. "I don't see what difference It makes," Nelly said; she wss stir ring her coffee rather viciously. "I see your Nicholas Boyd has had an operation," she said, GEORGIA'S eyes fl ..' open wide. "Where did you see ltt" she asked breathlessly. "Oh, In the paper. Just a Uny para graph about him. I suppose you knew though," she added malicious- by. "Which papert" Oeorgle asked. 1 Nellie fumbled In the pocket of her coat and produced a crumpled newspaper. "It's aomewhera there," she said. She watched Interestedly while Oeorgle searched every column. "Has ha thrown you overt" aba asked suddenly. Oeorgle shook her head. ' ' Nelly gave a short laugh. "And you wouldn't admit It any way If he did," she said. Oeorgle had found the tiny para graph, and was devouring It with hungry eyes. It waa a very tiny paragraph, probably only put in at all to flu up an awkward space, and It gave the brief announcement: "Nicholas Boyd, the Dim star, who has recently retired from his screen activities, underwent an operation in Berlin yesterday. Ha Is said to be doing aa well as oan be ex pected." "Appendicitis I suppose, wasn't it?" Nelly said. "It's what they all seem to have when they want a bit of publicity, but I don't see why he need have gone to Germany for it. 8l!ly, I call It" She glanced at Georgle'a untouched bun. "You're not eating," she said. "I'm not hungry," ' Oeorgle an swered. "I don't really want It." "I'll have It for you," Nelly said quickly, so quickly and eagerly that' Georgle asked In swift concern: "Haven't you bad any breikfaat? Nelly laughed rather mirthlessly. "No, I haven't. I'm economising" she paused, and washed down a mouthful ot bun with some coffee before she added with bravado. "I'm out of a lob." "Oh!" Georgia's face waa beau tiful In Its concern. "But you'll get another Job?" "Shall I? Good i. ess My knows." "You mean you cant get a Job?" Qeorgie asked In horror. "How long is H since yos left the other place?" "A fortnight; but dont 70a wor ry about me, I shall be all right. Tell me about yourself." But Georgle could think of noth ing but her friend's tragedy. "I'll ask Bishop," she said eagerly. "He's my stepfather, and I should think he knows nearly everybody In London. The telephone Is going all day, and we get heaps of visitors. He's nice. I'm sure he'll flnl yon a Job If I ask him." Nelly made a little grlmaoa. "He might tell you that he would try, because you're pretty and hs probably likes you, but he won't be ao keen when he's seeu me. Men an all the same, It you havon't got a silly, dolly face they don't think you're any good. However, It's kind of you to suggest It, the added. Nelly touched the sleeve ot Geor gia's coat "It must have cost a lot" aha said. "It's better than anything we ever kept In our p'.aoe. It cost at least 125, didn't It?" I'M NOT aura," Georgle said. She knew that It had cost a good deal more than the $25, which seemed the height ot costliness to Nllr, and it made her feel a little ashamed. Surely It waa not right foi one girl to spend so much money on mere clothes while another girl went without her breakfast? "You can have the newspaper 11 you like," Nelly said, aa Georglf still kept It In her had. "I've oul out the advertisement page, and that's all I bought It for." Georgle thanked her aa grate fully as If she bad Just been pre sented with the Crown Jewels It you're sure you don't want it," ahe was careful to aek. Nelly ate the last crumb on her plate, following It up with a loaf of sugar from the basin. "And now I'll be going," she said. Georgle hesitated, then s-id dlf- flJently. "I hope you won't mind, but won't you let me lend yon a little money, Just till you get an other Job." Nelly flushed and drew on her glove with a vigorous tug. 'No, thanks; thanks all the same. I've never borrowed money yet and I'm not going to start: thanks all the same. I'm all right: don't you worry." But Oeorgle worried a great deal; there was a heavy cloud on her ho rizon as she went slowly back to the hotel. Life seemed so terribly un balanced, like a see-saw; you were either up in the full glare ot popu larity or else you were down In the darkness; to her sensitive mind Nicholas Boyd and Nelly Foster seemed suddenly to have Joined hands and to be standing together looking at her with unt lendly eyes. So Nicholas had had his operation and waa doing aa well as oould be expected; she wondered what tbat meant Sba knew It was the kind of thing doctors always said about alck people, and yet Nicholas was not exactly sick in the ordinary way. Her heart seemed to bj straining away from her body in a vain at tempt to reach him; ahe wondered It they were kind to him; It they had hurt him very much and, most ot all, It they had been successful In making his face well again. Not that It mattered. To her at least ha would always be dear and beautiful whatever happened, per haps a little more dear It he waa al ways to be the "ugly devil" he had once doscrlbed himself. She searched the hotel till she found her stepfather. (Copyright, MS, Doubltday Doran) Monday, Clifford Ashsr proves useful to Georgia. E BAN JOSE, Cal., July .
