PAGE SIX IfETVFORD MTIL TRTBTTNE, M"EDFOTtD, OREGON, TUESDAY, JULY 25, 1933. By the World FORGOT A New Serial by Ruliy M. Ayres Chapter 41 REAL NEWS THERE was a sound at the back door, and Mrs. Drill hurried In. "Well, I never," lb began. "You could bare knotaad me down with a featber when Scarlet told me yon'd come borne. Well, 1 never." "There wasn't time to let Ton know," Goorjls laid; her spirits rose at eight of the woman'a kindly face. "I've Just made some tea 11 you'd like some, but there's no need for you to stay, I can see to my self." "Tea's always welcome," Mrs. Drill said and fetched another cup. "Well, and what do you think of tbe news. Miss Georgle?" "You mean about the bouseT" "Yes, and about your uncle. FU bet you was surprised." "What about my uncle?" Georgle asked blankly. Mrs. Drill stared at her. "You don't mean that he hain't told you?" she asked. "Well, 1 nev er. I should have thought It would bare been the first thing he would hare said, but perhaps be don't like to, him a gentleman born anyway as you might say." . "What are you talking about?" Georgle asked Impatiently. "He told me he was going to sell the house It he could, and that he was going to lire at the Boar's Head. But If there's anything else " "Lire at the Boar's Head Is right enough," Mrs. Drill said with deep satisfaction. "Of course he's going to lire at the Boar's Head seeing thft he's going to marry Mrs. Spears." "Marry Mrs. Spears!" Georgle laughed. "I don't believe you," she said firmly. "I can't believe you," she amended her words. "Why, Mrs, Spears doesn't even like Uncle Ed' ward." "Ah, that's what she told you I ex pect," Mrs. Drill said knowingly. "But she don't tell everything to you or to anyone' else. She'a one of the deep ones. She's going to marry him alright, and a fine step np It Is for her. They're going to be married next week In London. Everyone in tbe village knows about It, Miss Georgle. Most of 'em think that your Ma knew, too, seeing that she took you away all In a hurry like. couldn't believe my ears when I beard that you'd come home again." Come' home! Georgle laughed, wondering If there was anyone In the world more homeless than she. LATER on In the evening, having first made sure that her uncle was asleep In his study, Georgle walked down to the Boar's Head. The village seemed silent and de serted, but as she walked she seemed to hear a slow, limping footstep be- - hind ber, and once she turned her head quickly, almcrt expecting to see Nicholas Boyd's tall figure out lined against the dark sky. If only If onlyl She burrled on, trying vainly to outstrip the longing which she knew must go with her to the end of ber life. It seemed hard that she must be one of the faithful sort, she thought wistfully; otber girls whom she bad known In Lon don laughed and talked about the number of their love affairs as If It was quite natural to have half a dozen. The Boar's Head was gay with light, and the sound of the radio. Georgle loved music, but tonight even the cheery Hit of a jats tune deepened the ache In her heart. Georgia pushed open the glass panelled door which was proudly marked "Hotel Entrance" and came face to face with Mrs. Spears. For a moment they looked at one another silently, then Mrs. Spears eald helplessly: "Well, I never. Come right In. I was just thinking about you." "I only came back (his afternoon," Oeorgle eald. "So I hear." Mrs. Spears looked a little nervous, which must have been an unusual experience for her, as she led the way to her own private room. "Take a seat," she said affably. "And tell me all the things you've been doing In London." "There Isn't much to tell," Geor gle said. "And t came to say to ask" she foundered helplessly. MRS. SPEAHS rushed Into tbe breach. "To ask If It'i true that I'm going to marry your vnole. Well, yes, It Is. UPPER MATH FOREST BLAZING KLAMATH FALLS.

The blare was believed under control but Klamath police had com I Sol I expect you're surprised. I'm a bit surprised myself to tell you the truth, but there, I'm lonely and so's he. so wben be said why not be lone ly together, 1 said Rlght-oh! and there It was." She patted ber golden balr com placently. "Yoa needn't be afraid that I won't look after him," she added. Tin not," Georgle said. "I'm only afraid that living here, he will drink himself to death." Mrs. Spears laughed. "Well, that's something you need never be afraid of," she said confi dently. "I'm mistress here and be knows It, and what I say goes. Let me tell you, my dear, he'll be more sober living in this house than he's been tor yours, and It you come back In a month's time you won't know him and that's a fact." And seeing you" Mrs. Spears went on, "makes me think of thai Mr. Boyd I had here before you wont away. You don't ever hear anything of him I suppose?" "Do you?" Goorgle asked. "Well, I hour a bit now and then, but you can't bellove half you hear and that's a fact. Thoy said his op eration was a failure, poor man." She was struck by a bright idea. What about a little drink just to celebrate tbe occasion? Just you and me togotber?" "Yes." Georglo said. "Half a bottle of the best Bubbly," Mrs. Spears said heartily. "I don't suppose you're exactly delighted to have me for an aunt, but there's no body I'd rather have for a niece than you, Miss Georgle, and that's a tact." And as she passed Georgle on her way out to the bar she stooped and deposited a smacking kiss on the girl's cheek. "There, now," she said. "And don't you worry about your uncle. He'll be alright with me." I know he will,'- Georgle said gratefully, and she was conscious of a little warm fooling round her heart as she realised that though lite might be unkind, In this woman she had at last found a friend.
