THE FIRE
GEORGIE ill wet through before
he had gone a mile, but ber
mind wae too full of the detail of
ber sorrow for her to pay heed to
the rain.
There waa. Indued, something
comforting about the steady fall of
It, and the necessities of walking
occasionally took ber mind off her
loneliness and her desire to see
Nicholas, or at least to know where.
exactly, be was.
Thero was Clifford too; it seemed
terribly harsh that m order to re
main true to herself and her own
Ideals, It should have been neces
sary to hurt an Innocent and kindly
oul so very much.
At last she arrived at the little
town which always soemed so mag
nificent In contrast to the Tillage
where she lived. The only vacant
eat In the picture bouse wa one
Tight st the back under the gallery.
Georgle did not care; she
squeezed past a couple of stout wo-
. men and sat down with, s sigh of
relief.
She was tired. Lately she had not
done much walking.
The big picture of the afternoon
was half way through, and though
she watched it, Georgle's thoughts
kept wandering away many miles
way to a place called Ireland
where she had never .been, and
which seemed further away than
Germany, further even than Amer
ica, as far away as Eternity.
. One of the . stout women beside
ber said In tones of great satisfac
tion as the last scene of the big pic
ture flickered out: '
"There, 1 knew It would end hap
pily they always do."
And the other stout woman an
swered cheerily:
'Well, and so they should. Things'
come right in life too, If yon only
give them a chance."
Georgle felt a strange little thrill
of envy; It was good to find some
one who believed that Ufa came
right; she wished that she could be
lieve It also.
"The Topical News."
Georgle watched mechanically
while hurdle races, stout gentlemen
makin.' speeches, girls who all
looked more or less like Berate
Boyd diving Into shallow pools, and
airmen risking their lives in Im
possible stunts, flitted across the
screen, and then Georgle's heart
seemed to miss a beat as she read
the caption, "Famous travellers of
the week, by air and sea." ,
A be-spectacled American million
aire alighting from an aeroplane at
Croydon; a well-known racing mo
torist walking down a ship's gang
way at Southampton, a musical
comedy actress standing In the
doorway of a Pullman at Waterloo,
and last of all "Mr. Nicholas Boyd,
the. famous film star, leaving the
mall boat at Dublin."
Georgle felt as it her heart had
topped beating as In a dream she
- saw the tall figure of Nicholas Boyd
limping slowly down the gangway,
bis coat-collar turned up, one hand
rastUg on the wooden rail.
The disfigured side of his face
was away from the camera, but Just
as be reached land he turned his
head, apparently unconscious of
what was happening, and It seemed
to Georgle that his eyes looked
straight into hers.
Just for a moment, then the pic
ture flickered out and was gone.
The stout lady beside her broke
Into voluble talk.
"Poor dear, they needn't have
photographed hlml Did you see the
ugly side of his face? And he was
so good looking. Such a shame I
think!"
Georgle's hoad had sunk onto her
arms; she almost felt as it she were
dying. The stout Jady touched ber
shoulder
"Are you 111, Miss?"
She looked up with an effort.
. "No thank you at least . . It's
rather warm Isn't It? I think I'll go
out.
QHB made her way blindly Into
' the fresh air, her face white,
her hands clenched In her coat
pockets.
Yes, surely they might have
spared blml She felt the sobi ris
ing In her throat as she walked
away from the little picture house,
feeling as It she was leaving behind
the ma., she loved.
"Oh why can't I be with hlmf
Why can't II" she asked herself
desperately. "It only something
would happen to make It possible."
'Albany Enjoys
Bank Facility
ALBANY. Ore., July 27. (AP)
Branch banks of the United States
National and the Pint National
banks of Portland opened In Albany
yesterday, giving this city Its first
regular banking facilities since the
March financial noldays.
It seemed so futile, this separa
tion, when they loved each other,
so unnecessarily cruel.
"Paper, Miss?" A bright oyed boy
thrust an evening paper towards
her, and Georgle mechanically
hunted for a penny.
Bus just going. Miss," the boy
said again with an evident knowl
edge of the requirements of movie
patrons.
Georgle came back to the present
wltb a start, and running across the
road she managed to secure the last
seat on tbe shabby little bus. -
The rain had stopped but every
thing looked grey end desolate, the
street lamps twinkling through the
darkness like wet eyes.
The world seemed to be full of
tears Georgle thought In despair.
Why was the world so full o. tears?
Mrs. Drill had gone when she
reached home, but Edward Ban
croft called to ber from bis stt.dy.
"Is that you?"
"Yes."
She went Into the room.
"I suppose you didn't think to get
me an evening paper?" he asked
gruffly.
Yes." Georgle laid the paper on
tbe table.
His oyis were upon her.
"You'ro wet through," be said.
Go and change"
Tbe reluctant kindness In his
voice brought the tears to Goorgle's
eyes. "It's mackintosh," she said.
I shan't be hurt"
She waited, hoping vaguely tor
something more, she hardly knew
what. But Edward Bancroft had
taken up the paper and was en
grossed In Its contents. After a mo
ment she said, "I've been to the pic
tures." Anything to keep the conversa
tion going; she folt as If she were
shut Into an empty world where
there was nobody, to speak to, no
body to answer if she spoke.
Edward Bancroft grunted,
"Damned silly things," he said.
"Ought to be stopped. Even paupers
seem to be able to find money to go
and wallow In the rubbish they
show at picture bouses."
"I Mke them," Georgle said.
"Humph," he shook out tbe paper
Impatiently. "Well, here's one of the
beastly places burnt down, and a
good fob too. Two people burnt to
death Well, what can they expect
If they go to such death-traps; won
der it doesn't happen more often."
How dreadful," Georgle said. In
the following silence there was a
knock at the front door; nobody
ever tried to ring the belt and It
tbey had It would have been use
less. "I'LL boo who It is," Georgle said.
In a moment she returned. "A
message from Mrs. Spears, Uncle
Edward she would like to see you."
"Humph well, she can wait Say
I'll come presently."
Edward Bancroft spoke grumpily,
but vben Georgle returned from de
livering the message he had gone
upstairs to his roam.
She repressed a little smile, real
ising that perhaps the Boar's Head
was not the only place whore what
Mrs. Spears said, was meant.
She sat down by the Are and took
up tho evening paper.
A headline caught ber eye, anc
she road on mechanically.
"An sppnlllnn fire In tbe new
KHIIi-k studios early today resulted
In the traglo loss of two Uvea.
Miss Be-rnle Doyd, tho young fllm
stnr who has mads such a rapid
strldo towards fame during the
East few months, was trapped In
ar dressing room, and though
doaperato attempts were mails to
rofttMie her, she wan burnt to death
before she could he reached. An
other tragic feature of the disaster
la that Bishop Letter, a woll-known
American visiting this country and
who li believed to have been Inter
ested In the Kllllck Film Company,
also lost hie lire at the same time.
The two bodice, charred beyond
rocngnttlon were found close to
gether." Edward Bancroft's loud Tolci
boomed suddenly through the si
lent house.
"Goorglol Georglel Whore the
devil Is my blue suit?" and then
again as no answor was forthcom
ing. "Georgle? Can't you hear? Why
the deuce . . ." and then his lumber
lug step came down the stairs.
He pushed wide tbe half closed
study door.
"Have you gone stone deaf thai
yon can't hear when you're being
called? Here am I ... oh my God
Georgle!"
But Georgia was lying huddled
and Insensible on the floor and
could not answer.
