PAGE SIX MEDFORD MAIL TH1BUNE, MEDl-'OKD, OREGON, MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1934. jEtiffc By VICTOR BRIDGES J ol'SIS: Although Nicholae .ii7i, the voung eculptor, hae Oiih acquitted of tin charge of murdering hit old echoolfeltow Oatiorne. ho eel that Hit general publlo may not agree with Ins ter diet. He hoe gone to eee hie couein Sir Seymour, and Mr Seymour hae made It clear that the trial may materially affect Nichotae' oro ttncle. The coutine are not too i- Irlende. Cbapter Six STORMY INTERVIEW fllfHAT do jrou mean!" 1 asked. "Are you suggesting thai people still think I'm guilty!" "No, no." He raised bis hand. "I don't go as far as that 1 am merely pointing out to you, tn your own Interest, Nicholas, that If you attempt to resume your former life you must be prepared to encounter a good deal of unpleasantness." 1 thought of the young man In the teashop. "It wouldn't surprise me." 1 observed. "As Cresswell says, there are always a certain number of fools about who enjoy being malicious." Seymour moved uncomfortably In bis chair. "I am afraid that things are even more difficult than you Imagine. It Is very painful for me to have to tell you so, but the general attitude amongst well, amongst people who really matter- Is such that any successful career for you In this country will be prac tlcally out of the question." I put down my glass. "Whom are you referring to?" 1 Inquired. "The Prime Minister and the Archbishop of Canterbury?" "I am speaking In absolute seri ousness. I had an Interview yester day with Lord Redland, who, as you know, la chairman of the Royal United Arts. He was very upset about It all, and as considerate as he could possibly be, but be assured me that. In view of the feeling tn the club, It was absolutely essential that you should send In your reslg nation. Otherwise the committee will expel you." "Indeed!" I said slowly. "And what do you propose to do about It? You put me up: In fact, you Insisted upon my Joining the place." He shrugged his shoulders. "My dear Nicholas what can I do? As a member of the Government, J possess a. certain amount of Influ ence, but . , ." "DDT you naturally don't wish to exercise It on behalf of a dls credited relation?" 1 helped myself to a clgarot from a box on the table. "Well, as far as I'm concerned," 1 added, "the Royal United Arts can go to the devil. 1 don't car In the least whethor they expel me or not You can tell Redland so. with my compliments. "It Is useless to take that line The committee have only acted as any responsible publlo body would have beon compelled to do In the circumstances. I hare been In formed, for Instance, on the best authority, that although the design you submitted to the Board of Works was regarded as exception ally clover, there Is not the smallest chance of your being offered the commission. If such a thing were even suggested there would be pro tests from all over the country." I laughed a trifle bitterly. "I ex pert there would." 1 laid. "What the public really appreciate Is some thing like the Albert Memorial." "I am atrald that It's hardly an occasion for Joking." He got up from his chair and walked over to the hearth-rug. "For your own sake I Implore you to listen to reason. No one In your position can afford to set himself up against publlo opin ion. I warn you that If you attempt to do so the rosulta will be disas trous. All your rospectable friends III cut you, you will got no work, and you will be unable to earn a living. In six months time, when It Is too late, you will be cursing your self for not having accepted my ad vice." I looked at htm thoughtfully. This outburst of eloquence was so for eign to his character that 1 couldn't help wondering what lay behind It. "Well, let's hear your advice." I said. "So far you've done nothing but prophesy." He came back to his former seat. "There is only one thing to be done. You must loave England and make a fresh start In some other country After all. you are still quite young anil abilities such a youra are bound to bring you to the front. Here It would be quite hopeless for you. hut In America or r'rance 1 am assuming, of course, that you will change your name I see no rcs?on why you shouldn't build yourself up a most successful ca roer. If you are willing to adopt this suggestion 1, . to assist you." IN A sudden Illuminating flash 1 perceived clearly enough what Seymour was driving at All ha really wanted was a definite assur ance that I would disappear. Pro vided I was safely out of the way tbe scandal and gossip aroused by my trial would luon begin to die down, and In a little while tbe unfor tunate fact that 1 was first cousin to a rising and ambitious politician would have faded conveniently from the public memory. For a mo ment 1 was almost too amused to be angry. "How do you propose to assist me?" I Inquired. "In the way which will be most useful. 1 don't know exactly bow you aro situated, but 1 should Im agine that most of tbe capital you have will be swallowed up by the costs of your flnfencn. Well- I am not a rich man far from It but at tbe if t. l ff , fa IF J rs r r i MM .iJJ i t fCt !A .p;i 11 if 1 1 5 1 iSW B "I a W R "i , n i r , , , if 1 - , 4 rf. ft? v7 't '9 R 'v ft w II , , ; , ' 7' ' .) "Well, left hear your advice," laid Nicholas. same time I am prepared to act ai goucrousty as I can. If you will be sensible enough to do as 1 suggest I will send Crcssweit a cheque for tha wholo of your Ingnl expenses. The only stipulation 1 make Is that In order to Rlvo yourself a fair clinnce you will er abandon the namo of Trnnch and loare Kngland at once." I fought back a- sudden Intense longing to kick htm round the room. "You've quite finished?" I in quired pleasantly. "You're sure thcru'a nothing else you wnnt to say?" lie shook bis head. "I think that covers everything." "Well, 1 doutr I threw the stump of my ctgaret into the fire place and rose to my feoL "1 always thought you woro a pompom snob. but I did nt least give you tha credit of Imagining that you might have some small traces of deeoncy and courapo.
