Nicholas had raved about her himself, once; funny that now she should seem so like &.doll with empty staring blue eyes, and red, foolishly parted lips. A doll which when it was wound up wonld say vapidly— “l can’t , .. 1 can't live in Eng. land.” He moved. restlessly—his injured leg still pained him sometimes. "It 1 stay here—" she began, then troke off, and Boyd laughed. “Don’t tell me again you can't live 8 England—it's getting rather mopotonous.

N squeezed every drop of value out of his eteoric rise, .50 Jaffer. had: squeezed every drop of publicity out of the tragedy that had brought about his fall. | How the film magazines had loved, it! “Nicholas Boyd, great English Film Star, rescues beautiful girl from certain death.” Pages of photogrnph‘ parn;rnphu of biography. ’ "~ “Unfortunately Mr l!oyd was slightly injured in his gallant at- tempt. but we can assure his admir- ers that he will make-a-complete recovery.” Complete recovery! with the fron hoot of a horse lashing his face, and frantic feat tramping his body. It had happened during the re- hearsal of one of the big scenes for his new picture, a circus procession through streets. An inexperienced girl had been riding one ot the show horses, and the horse had taken fright at the sudden blare of a band, and had reared violently, She had been in danger of being trampled to death when Nicholas dashed forward. He had dragged the girl into safety before he stumbled and fell. “And .why the heil you need have His scarred face grinned back at him. He looked away from her, won- dering why he was no longer jealous of Killick; perhaps he was no longer capable of any emotion. Bernie made a little involuntary step towards him, then stopped. As he was sitting now she could not see the disfigured side of his face, but she knew if he turned his head.... She said unwillingly “Don't you love me any more?” “Don’t you think that is a ques- tion I ought to ask?” Boyd answered. He dragged himself to his feet again. “Go to bed,” he said irritably, and without another word she stole past him and into the adjoining room. , Nicholas stood looking after her. She was his wife, this girl, the wo- man he had held in his arms and loved; the waman he could still love ftonly ... he waited a moment, his 1ips set in a hard line. ‘Then the door between them slow- 1y. closed and he heard the little spund of a key turning in the lock. ICHOLAS Boyd was thirty-five. Jaffer had made clever capital out. of his age, acclaiming that it was nothing short of a miracle that a man who had never been trained either for stage or screen, a man no fonger very young, should in a night ag it were, achieve greatness. Nicholas had wandered out to Hollywood as o many people do; when all other doors seem closed to them, and by the merest luck had been discovered. His appearance had beeén his chief asset. He was six feet three in his stock- 1aged feet, with the sort of careless he-man appearance that is so at- tractive to wany women. e was not strictly speaking good tooking. He had a shock of brown haft which Jaffer bad insisted must be allowed to curl, whereas Nicholas had spent half his life trying to straighten ft; rather. rugged fea- tures, and deep-set dark eyes. - Physically he was very powerful. He sat a horse in first-rate style, walked with dignity, and had a deep aftractive voice which “produced” + well. From a small part in 4 “crofd” Nicholas blossomed ia what s acted the hero when you weren't being paid for it, beats me,” so Jaf: fer had said afterwards. INISHED! : And now Nicholas Boyd lay awake for the remaining hours of the night also wondering why. It had been an impulse of ~ourse for-no man surely would be a herc if he stopped to think what the con- sequences might be. The girl bad come to see him when he was in the hospital; a poor cheap little thing in cheaper elothes. She had brought him a bunch of flowers and had sat beside him tnns\leusd and miserable. “Why did you?" was all_she conld find to say. “It wouldn’t have mat tered about me, but you—" Well, it didn’t matter about him any longer either; the world was through with him, and all he could hope for was to find some kindly cor- ner in his own country where he could live out the rest of his days If there was still a desire left in his heart as he lay awake during the breathless night, it was for home. Had he ever been well and strong! Had he ever been able to dash across open country and spring ontc a galloping horse? Had the cheers of a crowded house ever risen deaf eningly as his prowess was parades before them on the screen? S Jafter had labelled him “The man 1y lover.” His scarred and crooked face gfln ned back at him {renicaly fm tin mirror. An, ugly devil! That was thi label he would have to bear in fu ture.
