Surely it was mot really possible for people to be well and strong one moment, and the next to be guite dead? . Boyd asked gently: “Where is your ithcle now?” “At the Boar’s Head, I suppose.” “Would you like me to go and fetch him?” “Oh no!” Then sudderly Georgie gave a little smothered cry. “Oh! I feel so queer! I'm afraid I'm going to faint.” She put out her hands, groping blindly for support, and Boyd caught them in his own, gently guiding hé: to Lovelock’s chair. “It's al right . . . hold on to me. Shut your eyes—you’ll be all right in a minute.” " Georgie obeyed helplessly, hold- 1og on to him as if her life depénd- ed on it, then presently she let go. “I'm all right now,” she said faintly. He fetched water for her and made her drink some.« “You want someone o look after you,” he said angrily. “Do 1?” she pushed the heavy hair back from her forehead with a trembling hand. “Whom do you suggest?” she asked with a faint attempt at mirth. “I seem to be a nuigance all round as far as I can make out.” Then suddenly she broke down, turning aside and sobbing with her face buried on her arms. “Oh, go away, go away.” Nicholas stood looking helplessly &t her, then suddenly he lafd a hand on her shoulder. “Stop crying, Georgie, do you hear? Stop crying at once.” But it wis some time before she @ould control herself, and even then $he kept sobbing and wiping away fears that absolutely refused to stop falling. And presently Boyd said: “Is tiere anything I can do for you?” “Would you?” she asked. “Of course; it's all wrong that a ¢hfld like you should be so ne- glected.” “I'm not really a child.” “Tell me what I can do for you?" he urged. She stood up suddenly, holding fo the arm of the chair for support. “Let me see you sometimes,” she daid in a quick, eager way. “There ¢an’t be any harm in it, I know you're married. and all that, and ) don’t want you, not in that way.” He smiled faintly. “In what way?” e asked. “In the way you're afraid I do,” she said bravely. “I mean, I'm Lot fn Jove with you. Do you think I 4m?” “] hope I am not such an egoist. There’s not much in me to love at the moment.” The hot color beat into her face and she bit her lip, then she said, with a return of her old eagerness: “Then can’t we be friends? I could o for a walk with you sometimes, Lconldn’t 1? I Pm only a child, as' Jou say, there couldn’t possibly be “any harm in my going for a walk with you. You said once that people would talk; well, do you think it matters what people say about any- one like me?” . Ho asked with qufek angeér: +“What do you mean ‘anyone like =your" | {AEORGIE shrugged her slim shoulders. “Well, we've got such a bad name tn the village that mobody wants fo know us,” she protested. Boyd’s face softened. i “poor little kid,” he said. . The ready tears rushed to her eyes. “Do you want me to cry again?” she demanded flercely. “I do not,” he answered fervently; ‘_iu walked away from her and stood Iodking out of the window at the neglected over-grown garden. It was depressing like all the rest of Georgle’s surroundings, and once {imore he found himself wondering how it was that sho had managed to remain so unspoflt, so very ferent from the girls with whom he' had mixed in that part of his life which now seemed so far away. He thought of his wife, and she too, seemed remote, someone whom' he had known years ago and almost forgotten. She would be scornfully amused if she could see him now. A fallen | star indeed, standing in a pokey kitchen trying in vain to say or do something that would comfort a girl like Georgie. He turned slghden;,y. “AH right,” he said briefiy. Georgie echoed his words vaguely. “All right—what?” she asked. “You esn bave it your way,” He told her unsmilingly. “We'll go for walks now and then, and let the vil- lage talk, shal) we?” It was pathetic to see the way her face brigliened. “Do you mean {t?" she asked. “Certainly I mean it,” he an- swered. She looked at him for a moment, then before hy could move back or prevent her, she had crossed the gpace between them, and standing on tiptoe, kissed his cheek. “Oh, thank you,” she said, almost humbly. There wa3j an embarrassed si- lence, thea Boyd laughed. “Are you always so grateful for small mercies?” “If anyone is kind to me, I am always gratefvl,” Georgie answered. “But people are not kind to you very often, is that it?"” he said, and Georgie nodded, adding as an after- thoughit: “But I met someéoné who was, yesterday, when I was in Lon- don.” “Your friend off the boat?” “No, a man,” Georgie said “I met him in a movie,” she added rather doubtfully. Nicholas frowned, hastened to explain. “He was quite a gentleman; he took me out to tea afterwards and he paid.” and she smile. Georgie went on, encouraged, “he told mé 1 had nothing to be afraid of.” She paused. “He asked me for my address, and he said he would write to me.” “It sounds }fke a film story,” Boyd said dryly. “Yes, doesn’t it?" Georgie agreed. “It was really rather fun. His name is Clifford Asher.” “l see—” there was a note of sarcasm. “And js he young and strong, and handsome?” “He's young,” Georgie said thoughttully. “And strong, I shéould think, but not handsome exactly. He was kind though. He seemed to understand me at once; he said he knew that I was lonely.” Nicholas laughed. “The gentleman evidently knows all the ropes,” he commented. “What do you mean?” Georgfe asked, but he would not tell her. “And when dc you seé him agatn ™ he asked. “I don’t know; he said he would write.” v “I see.” He moved stifify ag if his leg pained Him. “Well, I must be going.” 3 . She asked eagerly: “When shall I see you again?” His moody eyes rested on her face. “I should like to see you this after- noon,” Georgie said frankly. “But I suppose you won't care about that, so could I see you tomorrow?” “I shalt go tor & walk about eléveé: it it's not wet.” “Shall I call for you?” Georgie asked, but he shook his head. “No, I don’t think so. I'll go the way we went the other day—if I'tan find it.” “Youw'lt find it easily enough,” Georgle said confidently. She followed him to the door. “And thank you for calling,” she added pol. ely. “The pleasure is mine,” Boyd answered; he raised his hat and walked away. 4 Géorgle went baek to the kitetes. Fof a moment she had forgotfen the’ suddan tragedy which had obtruded itself into her life, but now it came back fo hér oveérwhélmingly. Lovelock was déad; she felt as it the bottom of the world were fall- ing slowly from beneath her feet. Lovelock hdd beén an institution. Georgie looked at thé empty chair with its red cushion, and the slow tears coursed down her cheeks.

C., Aug. 7.— | Oyster culture in the Charleston |area has made so much progress during 15 years that now less than 10 per cent of shell planted 10| catch spat is lost as compared with 75 per cent when the industry was first started here. Cultivation is by two methods: the shore beds and deep water oysters. The shore beds are more extensively used and are more pro- lific since the deep water plant- ings require more teghnical know- ledge and skill. e bt The world’s greafest néed 1Is IPensxon Cut After Plant i » PICTURES O' THE KID..
