A vres BYNOP'iat The tact that eht hae met the light-minded Bernie Boyd in the bio London hoUl uhere ehe it etaying with her mother and etep-father makee Oeorgte Bancroft think ell the more of Bernie'e husband Nicho las ror before Sicholae left tor Germany and an operation that may cvre the ecarred lace that hne ended hie career ae a movie etar, he let Qeoraio knote that he caree tor her. Qeorple obtaine tor Velty Foeter a fob ae maid to Bernie; ehe aleo hae teamed h'irhnjae' addreee in Germany, and iite down to write him a letter. Chapter 11 LOVE LETTER GEORGIA had narer written a Iotb letter In her lite, and aha did not know that sba was writing one now aa aha carefully dipped her pen in the Ink and began her letter to Nlcholaa Boyd with the Terr cir cumspect worda "Dear Mr. Boyd.' Perhaps he would understand that In her heart she was really saying "Darling Nicholas," aha thought hopefully as aha held her charming bead a little on one side and stared down at tbe words. "Never show your true feelings to a man," Erelyn bad aald. "And it you want to be happy, never lore a man as well as ha lores you." Georgle sighed and went on with her task. "1 thought perhaps you would writ to nis. As you haven't, J rn writing a little note to lay that 1 hope you are quite well. Aire. Boyd Is staying In this bote!, and 1 think aha la beautiful. She was very nice to me, too, when Evelyn Introduced us. They came over on the eame ship, you know. I did not tell her I knew you as 1 waa not sure If you would like me to, "Germany seems a long way off. and If you feel a little lonely, per hapa this letter will cheer you up. I think r.bout you a .Treat deal, and wonder how you are. 1 suppose 1 am having a good time. 1 go about a grout deal to dinners, and lunch parties, and theaters; 1 haven't been to the plcturea at all since you went away. "I've got lots of new frocka and I am much better looking than 1 need to he, though Evelyn aaya It la the clothes ana not me at all. "Tonicht 1 am going to a dance with Clifford Aaher. the man 1 told you about. Ho la very kind and 1 think he rather Itkea me, but 1 don't cars for him at all; not lit that way. i auopose It aounds un kind, but 1 don t mean to be. "when are you coming back? It you would Just send a postcard and give me aomo Idea, 1 should be very fileaaed. 1 hope you will not be Ired of reading this letter; perhaps 1 had better atop, but I wanted you to know that 1 haven't changed be caupo you are ao far away. Love from Aobln." She read through what ahe had written with a sense of deep dissat isfaction, and added an Impulsive postscript. "P. S If you would Ilka me to coma to Germany to aee you, 1 am aure Bishop will lend me the money. I know what It coats, be cause 1 went to Cook's the other day and enquired." And presently aba added yet an ther message. . "P. P. 8. I've got a new evening frock, a red one like the one you liked on the boat." yES, IDh had chosen It as nearly as possible the same color as tbe one Nlcholaa had remarked about; she would wear It when ha came borne, If ahe saw him. And then bard on that thought eame the andden terrifying know, dge that cha might never see him again. Perhaps, aha thought, ha never wants to aee ma again, For car taluly she could not recall even one Instance where Nicholas bad taken the Initiative In their relationship; always '.: had been ahe who made the advances, and ha who hung back. . . . . Georgle supposed that making those advances would be classed by Erelyn aa "conduct unbecoming a lady." Vell, perhaps it was, but atlll ahe did not regret her actions. She would do exactly the same things over again, tor deep Inside her she realised that her course had been as much dictated (at least at first) by pity as by anything else. Nlcholaa had so determinedly re fused to see the brighter side of his future. "Keep yonr face to tba sunshine and tbe shadowa will fall behind yon." Tbe worda floated into bar mind with vague comfort; worda which ahe had onca seen written on an old sundial In the vicarage gar den at home. Georgle was not on visiting terms at tbe vicarage, but ehe had ono gone there with Mrs. Speara when that lady had been officiating at the refreshment stall at a baiaer. Georgle liked the words: she sinned suddenly, lifting her eyes to the sunshine out In the wind swept street, a strange little feeling of peace and happiness stealing Into her heart. She would keep her face steadily alwaya to the sunshine and then no harm could come to Nicholas; ahe almost felt aa If the maglo bridge between herselt and Germany were completed. Tba door opened suddenly behind her and Evelyn came In. 8ne looked cross and a little tired, "So here you are!" ahe said. "Why In tbe world need you stay Indoors on such a Una day, and whom are you writing to?" ahe demanded catching sight of the letter under Georgia's hand. "A friend," Georgle said. She felt horribly guilty and as If aha had onca again broken a most stringent rule In the as yet unwritten book on love. Evelyn's discontented -eyes grew suspicious, "A friend! I thought you had no friends," she said sharply. She bad bad a most unsatisfactory lunch, and had chosen to consider herself "Ig nored" by a woman with whom ahe waa anxious to be friends. "I haven't many," Georgle said. "Is It anyone I know?" Evelyn in sisted. "No." "A msn, I presume?" "Yes." Evelyn stretched out a white hand. "Show It to me," she commanded. "No," aald Georgle. Erelyn flushed dully; ahe was not really Interested, but she was In the mood to quarrel with anyone who gave her tbe opportunity. "I am your mother, and 1 order you to show me that letter," she said. "No," said Georgle. "How dara you?" Evelyn raved. "After all I've done tor you. Spent money on you; taken you out of tbe gutter of your uncle'a unspeakable house." , GEORGIA went white; It hurt her Intolerably to hear the only home ahe had ever known spoken of In such terms. "Well, you put me there In tho first place." she said. Evelyn burst Into tears. "To think that my only child should speak to me In auch a way. 1 was a fool to expect that you would ever repay mc tor tbe sacrifice J have made for you." "What sacrifice?" Georgle asked In a cold little voice. "Having you to live with me." She broke oft as tba door opened and Bishop walked Into the room. He looked at his wife and then at Georgle and a strange little smile crossed bis face. Erelyn flew to him. "Georgle has Insulted me." she wept hysterically. "She says I'm not an ordinary mother that she hard ly knows me, after all I've done tor her." She looked up Into bis face. "How can you stand there and allow me to be treated so cruelly?" "I think Georgle Is right It she said that you are not an ordinary mother," Bishop said calmly. "And after all, my dear, you forget that anything you have done for her, has been with my money. Erelyn gave a stifled scream. "And anyway, what la the trou ble?" Bishop asked In his tired voice. It waa Georgle who answered him. ' "Evelyn wanted to see a letter I had written, and I didn't want to show It to ber." "I have a right. She Is my child," Evelyn sotued. "Georgia Is over age," Bishop an swered In blj tired voice, "And I do not consider that you bare any more right to read her letters than I hare to read yours," be added with quiet meaning. There was an eloquent silence, then Erelyn said faintly; "Of course, If you are going to side with ber against me 1 bare nothing more to say." "That Is good." her husband an swered calmly. He turned his back on them both, and after a moment Erelyn flounced out of the room. There was a little silence follow ing her departure, then Georgle said, "I'm sorry I made trouble. But she wouldn't have understood If 1 bad told her whom I wss writing to." "Whom were you writing to, Georgia?" "A man." "A very special man?" "Yes." His tired smile came again, fleet Ingly. "Lucky man," he aald. "Oh, but he doesn't like me," she said quickly. You see he'a married." "And no doubt he wishes he waa single," Bishop answered ber. "Who was the cynlo who said that mar riage was a cage; those outside longed to get in, and those inside longed to get out." "I don't know," Georgle said. "But I'm beginning to think It's rather true," she added mournfully. Bishop made no reply. fCopyrisM, 1MI. Don Med ay Boron) 1 Tomorrow, Qeorgla unavoidably gives pain to s friend.
