PXGT5 snc- ITETJFOTilJ TOTE TRTBTJNT5, WEDFOTtTJ, TfREGOX, TUESDSY, JULY 23, 1933. IK By the World FORGOT tor Serial frv Rufrv M. 4vr Chapter 47 BI8HOP'8 LETTER ' QY Iba morning post there were two letter! for Georgia one from Clifford Aiher. telling ber that ba bad called at the hotel again only to find aba had gone, upbraid ing her for not telling him and reading once more that the would j..ve Mm a chance to (how bow rmicb be cared. Georgia ilghed aa aba laid It aalde and took np the second letter. It bore the stamp of the bote: she had Just left and was addressed In writ Ins aha did not know. Before she read It, she turned to tbe end to d'scorer the signature, and a lit tle shiver of apprehension went through ber as she read it: Bishop Lelter. Why had he written to her? Per haps Evelyn bad Insisted that be should, In order to add his upbraid' Ing for the thlnrs she was supposed to bava done. For the first time Georgle recalled the ogly words her mother had' used to her about dl Tnw, If aftMmarf miAA that nntll now flier had almost entirely es caped her memory. She looked Into the neglected gar den beyond the window, and for a moment she visualized Bishop's worn, rugged face, with lis lines of patient resignation and tbe big clumsy figure that had alwaya made ber think of an Imprisoned tl ' ger, beaten into submission by long captivity. "We are both In the wrong box, Georgia, yon and I.' Ha bad said that to ber onca and had added, "We might help each other by being friends." The mem ory of those words brought -with them a pang of remorse. Had she misjudged bimT Hadn't ha also said "I should Ilka to help you If I can ..." Georgia shivered as If a cold wind had suddenly swept past ber, and almost reluctantly she took up bis letter again. : Dear Georgia t 1 am not blaming you for going away without laying goodbye to mo, but 1 cannot resist laying that perhaps soma day you may realise that J spoke tba trutb when 1 onca told you that I do not batray a con fidence, and that 1 meant It when I aald 1 would help you If the oppor tunity aver came my way. For the rest, do not worry. 1 be lieve that In this atrange world thing alwaya coma right for ' thone who deaerva that they ahould. fours, Bishop Letter. It was a 'strange letter. Georgia read It through half a dozen times ind still felt that she could not en tirely understand his meaning. , Had be guessed what ber thoughts bad been tbat last morning when ahe broke away from bis kindli ness T It so be must have been hurt cruelly hurt- Had she been wrong to believe Nellys casual gossip about blm? Wasn't It true that he and Bernle She seemed again to see- Bishop's ' lined face and patient eyes, and ber Own were suddenly dimmed by tears, "I'll write to blm," Georgia told Herself. "I'll write and tell hJm I'm lorry. He'll understand." She bitterly reproached herself for her hasty Judgment, and yet tould she have aeen Bishop at that ooment her confidence might again have wavered, for be was in tbe itudlo, standing gaunt and patient with Bernle Boyd's cloak over bis arm, watching while ahe rehearsed I scene of her new picture. ILLICX, the wealthy director 'who bad brought ber to Eng land, waa beside him, a spare, alert man with an eternal frown, which waa deeper than usual now as be apoka to Bishop in quick, Irritable tones. "Montague's rotten. He'll ruin the picture. We want a man like Nicholas Boyd. There's a fortune waiting for a man with hla face and figure and personality. Why he wanted to go and smash himself up beata me. Film stars can't afford to play the hero In real lite, and anyway the girl wasn't worth a curse; there are thousands like ber at the door of this studio every day." "You knew NlchoJaa Boydr Blsbop asked. 'Knew him! Should think I did. He bated me though, jealous of bis wife." Kllllck laughed aneerlngly. ,"I ahould say he had soma causa to be jealous; bet ha knows now that it he'd had any sense he'd have giv en me a bonus to take her off his bands and a vote of thanks too." Bishop glanced down at the furry wrap across his arm; It was like Bernle herself pretty, but entirely negligible. "What sort of a man was Boydr he asked after a moment Kllllck shrugged bis shoulders. "Englishman," be said briefly. "A white man, you'd call blm I ex pect Decent enough fellow, too da cent In aome wars. 1 don't owe him any grudge. He's down and out now all right, poor devlL" He rushed away again to enter Into a fierce argument with Bernle, who was stamping her foot and on tbe borderline of tears. Blsbop bunched his shoulders In distaste and turned awaj, the fluffy cloak slipping unheeded to the floor. "What a lite," he muttered, and ha thought suddenly of Georgle'g brown eyes and sensitive face. p EORGIE put her head round the 'J kitchen door and looked at Mrs. Drill with wistful eyes. "Would you like to go to tha pic tures?" she asked. Mrs. Drill looked up from a paper backed novel. . "Pictures! What pictures, miss?" she asked blankly. "The Alms," Georgle eiplained. "We can get the half past two bus to Redham; there's a nice picture bouse there." Mrs. Drill hesitated. "I don't know that I will Miss Georgle, thank you all the same. I've got a bit of rheumatism, and sitting In those hot places don't help matters, thank you all the same." - Georgia smiled and sighed to gether: she was so tired of her own company that she had been driven to solicit Mrs. Drill's cheery com panionship rather than be left any longer to her own thoughts. She had been bome nearly a week now, the longest week she bad ever experienced, and In three days' time Edward Bancroft and Mrs. Spears were to be married. Nobody bad offered to buy the Hollies, nobody had even been to look over It although Bancroft had gone to the expense of having a board posted beside the gate, boar ing the legend "this desirable resi dence for sale." He had told Georgia that she might stay on as long as tha house was not sold, "Or for a few weeks," he had added, mindful of th fact that the bouBe might never be sold, and Georgia had agreed, not know ing what else to do. She had not heard a' word from Evelyn, and Bishop bad not replied to her shy, apologetlo letter, i Apparently they had both done with her. Yesterday. Clifford Asher had been down to sea her. Georgle did not like to think of that last meet ing with him, and today be was sailing for South America. She had' sent blm a telegram to say goodbye, but as ahe stood in the village post office hesitating whether to put "Love from Georgle" or just "Georgia;' a sudden doubt had come Into her mind. Waa she making a mistake In sending him away? His love would have been something out of the des olation something to lesn on, te be sure of. And after all she had put "with love" realizing that she did love' htm as a friend, and that as Nlcholsi had once said to her "it might help.' Nicholas bad not written to her: at first she had thought be might ' had almost hoped, forgetting thai he did not know where she was to be found. Woll, I think I'll go to the Plo tures," she said with an effort "1 shan't be In to tea, and you need not wait If you want to go, Mrs. Drill." In tha movies she always felt nearer to Nicholas; It was as it aha looked at wonderfully Impossible places where once he had lived and moved. "Take your umbrella. ' Miss Georgia, It'a raining," Mrs. Drill said, but Georgia put on. an old bat and coat and started off with her hands plunged Into her oocketa. Georgle looked up at the grey sky; perhaps It was raining In Ireland too Edward Bancroft ,who had spent part of his youth there eald It always rained in Ireland he called it a God-forsaken country; Georgle wondered If It aeemed God forsaken to Nicholas. When she reached tita post office the bus hid gone, and she remem bered tbat the clocks at tha Hollies were never right either too alow or too fast It was raining mora heavily, but she set out to walk the four miles to Redham, It was some thing to do a means of passing the long lonely afternoon. tCopvrtuM. mi, DavtMau Bonn) Traoedy, tomorrow, reenters Oeoraie'e lite.
