TWELVE arEDFORD M5TE TRIBUNE, rEPFORD, OREGON, PRTDAT. JULY 28, "1933. By the World FORGOT p J A New Serial by Ruby M. Ayres Chapter 41 THE 8UN SHINES ATUOUSJLND motei danced In tba loci raye of sunshine that stretched from tba iky rlgbt dows through tba window to tba floor of Georgia'! r on. Georgia lay In bad watebtnc them jrlth dreamy eyes. She bad bean Ul each a long time; ometlmea It teemed aa 11 ahe bad never known anything but a dark ened room, and hushed rolcea and a kind, capable arm that aeemed to punctuate the daya by gently lining bar and making her drink unpleae ant tblnga. She waa better sow. Only that morning Dr. Oudd, who bad felt un able to rely on bla own aklll and had brought another doctor from London to abara the reaponalblllty, bad beamed down at Georgia and bad told her be waa proud of bar. "you'll do," he laid comfortably. "Tou'll do rery welL" "Thank yon," Georgia aald po litely. And then Just sow Edward Ban ' croft had come to aee ber; a sub dued looking Edward who atood awkwardly at the foot of the bed and aeemed aa uncomfortable aa a bull that baa auddenly found Itaelf In a china ahop. "Well, what about It?" he Jerkod out after a moment "All right," Georgle ald imlllng faintly. Somehow ahe knew ahe waa all right though for the moment ehe felt too weak to peer Into all the eornera of her mind and discover why sbe was so sura. Presently, she asked "Are you married yet!" "Married!" Edward Banoroft looked aa awkward aa a schoolboy. "Marrledl" be repeated acorn fully. "I should aay not Not while you've been lying here ecarlng na all out of our wits. No, I told ber ahe must wait." Aa a matter of fact It waa Mrs. Speara who had told Edward that be must wait "Time enough for na," ahe bad aald flatly. "Life and death are more Important tblnga than marriage." Edward would like to hare aald that sometimes death and marriage were one, and the aame thing, but be restrained blmaelt; he waa not feeling Quite so facetious aa usual. He came round to the side of Ooorglo'a bed and patted her band. "Nothing to worry about" he said, "you'll be all right" "I'm afraid I've been a great nul aance." Georgle aald. "I'm sorry." Edward Bancroft coughed loudly to hide his unwonted emotion. "Ttiore's a good time coming." be said, "a darned good time coming, yon see." Georgle'a eyelids flickered; sub consciously, she knew what be meant but as yet ahe waa a little afraid of the knowledge. It seemed o tremendous, so overwhelming. She said with a nervous feeling that ahe must aby away from the aubject "Do you know, you look , . . younger, aomehow." Her uncle chuckled; "Do If Shouldn't be aurt-rleedl Tou won't believe me, Georgia, but alnce you've been 111, I haven't touched a drop of whisky, not a alngle dropt Ab, I thought you'd be aurprlsed, but I'm going to have aome now. Just tn celebrate. Tea, by gad, I am." He patted her hand again, and made a clumsy exit glad to escape from an Interview he bad dreaded mora thsa anything In his lift before. GEORGIE closed her eyes, tried not to think, but It wai and t was no longer so easy to shut out tba things sbe had known so Intimately and suffered with ao greatly before ahe foil 111. One by one, they came creeping back, forcing themselves upon ber notice, clamoring for attention. The headline of a newspaper ; "Fire In Film 8tudlo" Her little body was convulsed by ahlverlng. That anyone ao young and pretty aa Billy ahould have bad to meet auch a terrible deathl And then Blsbopl Dear Bltbop, with his halting klndllnesa and aombra eyee. In tome strange cer tain way, Georgia aeemed to know that ble death need not bare been. During the houra of ber greateat weaknesa aba bad been conscious of queer flashing plcturea dancing before her of Bltbop aaylog "I ahould like to help you. If 1 could": of Bishop writing to her, "I meant it when I aald I would help you It the opportunity ever came my way." Had the opportunity coma hit way? Had he would she aver know? Sbe would never be able to ask him. She would never aee blm again, but perhaps, whererir he waa, be bad got free at last Per il apt someone with kind banda had taken that look of patient endur ance from bla eyea. She wonld have given ao much now, to have been able to take tba kindly band which aba bad struck down when be would bare touched ber. With audden fear of ber own weakness, aba dragged ber thoughts away to another picture, tba moat precloua of the many that had flashed before her when aha waa ao 111, and the thought of which was like a gentle arm enfolding ber. Someone had come Into the room and spoken ber name; not the name Georgia, which everyone called ber, but "Robin," and at the sound of It It bad been aa If all tbe sorrow and unbapplnesa sba had known rolled away and left nothing but a great peace and feeling of rest wblcb was so beautiful It hardly bore thinking about even now. But Georgle did think about It. She thought about It aa something alive and tangible, wblcb she held fast to her heart when presently she fell asleep. A DA or two later Evelyn came to see her; a tearful, beautifully dressed Evelyn, who deolared that she would never be happy again, "My Ufa baa been one long trag edy," ahe wept carefully avoiding damaging her make-up. "I ahall never be able to understand It Why waa he In that dreadful atudlo? Nobody seoma to know. They all say he waa most gallant that he tried to aave tbat poor little what waa her name? I bare actually for gotten. Aa If bia Ufa waa not a thousand tlmea more valuable than hers. He might hare thought of me a little," Evelyin sobbed, forget ting that It waa the very laat thing ahe bad ever desired Bishop to do. and that already she waa planning ber future and a third husband, as soon aa the necessary period of mourning waa ended. "Fortunately, I look my best In black." she bad confided to her dressmaker. - - Georgle turned ber face away; every word her mother aald, was adding to the vague knowledge In her own heart and ahe felt tbat abe could not bear It Evelyn's white, hand touched her own, "We only have each other, now," ahe said emotionally, "we must never part again, Georgle. Yon must always live with me." Georgle let that pass, It aeemed auch a triviality compared with the other vivid rictures that were al ways before ber eyes. "I don't know whether they have told you," Evelyn went on more composedly, "but In his will. Bis hop left you Quite a nice little sum of -money. So adorable of him, 1 think. A hundred thousand dollars, aeorgin; he worded It so sweetly; 'To my wife's little daughter, Geor gia Bancroft' And It waa a new will, only made a tew daya before he died. It almost loots aa If he had a pre monition of what waa to come, poor man." And presently Evelyn had gone, and Georgle drew a algb of rellet ' Nicholas came tbe next day. Ha sat down bealde Georgle and took ber hand, holding It against the dis figured side of bis face. Georgle was more glad about tbat than anything, glad that he ahould no longer try to turn It away from ber. For a long time neither of them spoke, then Georgle aald In a voice less whisper, all her natural elo quence where he waa concerned quite gone. "Nick darling, la It all rlghtr "If It'a right for you Robin." Qttorgle gave a little sigh of cony piste bapplnesa. "I've got everything I ever want ad," ahe said. "I wish you had." "Will you believe me, It I aay I have?" "But you cant ... I mean I couldn't possibly make up for everything." "If 1 had to chooee between go ing back to the old life wltbont yon and staying as I am, with you, J should stay." She took hla face between ber hands, leaning forward and gazing at blm with passionate earnestness "Then It la all rlghtT Every thing?" sbe asked again, breath lesaly. Nlcholaa drew ber to him an kissed her lips. "Everything Robin." fCopirrtpat. 11)1. OoaMeday Dora) THE END BAD LUCK EARLY FOR AUSTRALIAN PILOTS - DUBLIN, Irish Frco State, July 37.
