Chapter 23 : THE LETTER EORGIL went to London to meet 9 Clifford Asher with the full de- ¥mination that she was not going to enjoy herself. ! Her head ached = little and aer ¢yén were red with crying. € By the morning post she had re- 2efved a lette. from her mother. “Bishop—" so her motlier wrote ‘is ill, or'imagiies that he is. He insists that he must see a specialist, a German specialist, and so we are ¢oming to London for a week or two, an@l then going on to Berlin. { should hdve thought there were plenty of good doctors out here, but Bishop is 80 obstinate (what n.an is not?) and g0 we are sailing next week. We yhall be staying in London, of gourse, but you must come and .ee ms.” Bo Bishop was ill! Georgie felt sorry. Not that the big, red-faced fian with the loud voice had ever troubled tc be nice to her, but it 8temed pathetic somehow, to think o anyone so vigorous as he always #ppeared to be, having to go 8o far as Germany to get cured. She broke the news to her uncle with great misgiving. “Mother’s ¢oming home,” was her brief an- mpouncement. “Home!” wdward Bancroft glared at her. “What the devil i3 she com- ing for anyway?” “Bishop is ill,” Georgie said. “I'm not surprised.” There was Infinite satisfaction in her uncle's toice. “My own brother was the Arst fool she killed off, and now 8he’s fuund a second. Well, she can't Come here and you can tell her so." ' Georgis smiled as she thought of her mother’s extreme daintiness &nd love of luxury; she could hard- 1y imagine her in u house where there was very little comfort, and Most indifferent cooking: *“She doesn’t want to come here,” she murmured. # Bancroft frowned. “And why not 1 'should iike to know?” he demand: ed. “Isn’t this housé good, spough for her? Aren’t I good emough?® “It's quize good enough,” Georgie said polétely. i Bancroft drew the cork from a fresh bottle of whisky with a loud bang. “Humph! Wel, what’s the matter with Bishop anyway?" ) 4], don’t know; he’'s going to Ger- nany to see & spetialist.” Bancroft snorted. “Germany in- Jeed!” he growled. “People are like & lot of sheep; ome leads and they all follow. I hear that that fellow Hoyd is off on the same track; going to get his face put right or some- I.I':lng. Twaddle!” i satisfied that e had found“a pic after his own heart. 'f “They’re all the same, these film fellows. ‘ Popinjays! They're not fhen at all; if they were they wouldn’t curl their hnlr l.nd wear Corsets.” " “He doesn't curl his hur or wear eprsets,” Ceorgie said hotly, then Proke oft in confusion, conscious of Her uncle’s suspicious eyes. # “on! and how do you know?” he demanded. 4 “I don't know, at least he doesn’t look as if he does, and he got his :“:c. hurt by doing’a very herbie 1 E‘DWARD BANCROFT went on, ng."” *1#Pooh! Press stunt.” Bancroft de- elared. ‘I daresay if the truth’s Ruown he got his jaw broken in a Brawl; you can't tell me!” % Georgie turned away; her face was burning with anger, and 8he #as afraic to trust herself to say #hy more. Edward Bancroft might Know a great deal about brawlis; but ho certainly knew nothifig about Nicholas Boyd. She went upstairs #hd dressed to go to the station. It Was a bore, she decided; having to Meet a han i whomn ohd Wis not z"’ intefested; why did lite ab ys do that sort of thing? ‘# “Never the time, the place and the hud one together"—she had read that gomewhere In a book, and it |@ruck her as being painfully true. |R was a fino morning, and London 3 a glorious place, but it was all spoil tub’ocmu she was going lo She drew near to the Boar’s Head with a feeling of great embarrass- ment; in the sane light of today it | emed impossible that yesterday she had been so utterly mad as to, ‘ she loved him. ! That was another pitiful thing ' about life, that people must never | teli the truth about things that mat- tered ‘tremendously; the correct thing was to pretend to care noth- ing at @ll about a man until he had begged “and implored you halt & dbzen times at least to say that you | liked him, just a little. Georgie won- dered how many times Nicholas had had to ask Billy it she liked | him. As she passed the main entrance to the “hotel” @s Edward Bancroft insisted on calling the little inn, Mrs. Spears came to the door; she sav Georgle ard waved to her. Georgie stopped reluctantly; it seemed a long time since she had had a conversation with Mrs, Spears. The morning sunshine shone on the good woman's dyed hair and heavy make-up, making her look grotesque (almost like a tlown, Georgie thought) and then was ashamed; what did it matter how one looked if one’s heart was in the right place? “And where have you been hiding all this time?” Mrs. Spears asked | in her hearty voice. “I was wonder- ing it someone had run off with you, It mustbe weeks since we met.” “It’s not very long,” Georgie said uncomifortably, and she gave Ler pat a little tug, bringing it further down over her eyes and the ugly‘ bruise which had.not yet.faded. She had deliberately kept out of the way of Mrs. Spears because she had | known how impossible it would be to explain that bruise away. “So you've lost Lovelock,” Mrs. Spears went on affably, as if it were a matter of no importance. “Well, we've all got to die, and it's no use | arguing. Life’s made up of partings, | 1sn't 1t? you'll find that out for your- self soon enough if you haven’t found it out already.” HE sounded quite cheerful abouw it, and a faint admiratfon crept into Georgie’s heart. It was rather wonderful to be able to talk about death and partings so easily. “And I'm losing Mr. Boyd,” Mrs. Spears went on. “And [ don’t mind admitting that I'm sorry. He never gives any trouble, and he makes the { p'ace interesting. The business hu the bar nas.dovbled since he came; wonderful how anxious people are to catch a glimpse of a film star, even if he is one of the has-beens.” | “He isn’t a has-been,” Georgie said quickly; her color rose. “Nobody will ever take his place; he'll al- ways be remembered.” * Mrs. Spears raised her darkened brows. “Well now!” she said. She looked at the girl and smiled. “Ab, it's a fine ‘thing to be young and full of ro- mance,” she said tolerantly. “I was the same when I was your age. | re- member waiting for honrs on:side the stage door just to see George Alexander ¢ome out. And that's-a good mary years ago,” she added. “Ah well, it's all to theé good 1t you can make an ideal of a man, they let you down soon enough.” ““Did George Alexander let you down?” Georgie asked interestedly; she had never heard of George Alex- ander. Mrs, Spears laughed. “Bfess your beart, I was only ore of hihdreds of sentiméntal gir's who adored him,” she said ¢heerfully. “I | got over it, and you'll do the eame. Nice as Mr. Boyd's always been to me, I expect he's a devil to liva with it the truth’s known; anyway his wife doesn’t seem to worry much about him, does she?” It was on the tip of Georgie's tongue to say, “but she's coming home,” then she stopped; it was nc business ot Mrs. Spears. | “They're #il the same, these fa- | mcus men,” Mrs, Spears went on | with & great feeling of superiority. | “They’va aK got the kaaek of mak- Thg you teel you're the only woman | in the world; you'll do, if there's no- | body else Landy, afid then . . . well, | you can't tell me anything about | men.” “I don’t want to,” Georgie sald almiost resentfully; she gave her hatanether jerk down overher eyes.

Different Corps Fifteen "years sincz the World War have brought these Ameri- cans some distance away from the care-free, devil-take-the-hindmost service men . just discharged, to a veteran corps of fathers, home- owners, tax-payers who occupy key positions in their own communi- tles. One congressman represents 63,- 000 families, with whom he has littl= contact for two-year per- iods. 4 Each of the 1200 delegates to The Ametican Legion Convention will represent 22500 families— whose opinions, whose hopes and whose wishes here have just been relayed to him from the 10,755 centers of community interest all over America, represented by posts in thé American L2gion. “Let's Go Ametica” Just as in the nation;, and in| fore-seeing commu progress toward prosperity [ ehown itself, self-interest has been submerged in these 10,753 com- munities, into the new battle-cry of “Let's Go America.” Recent veterans l:gislation has served only to solidify the senti- ment in The American Legion. as forecast by advance informatio coming to the convention head- quarters- in Chicago, to put the welfare - of America first, leaving tp its people and its chosen lead- abled. They are not “softies”—inese Le- gionnaires coming; 250,000 strong, to-the Chicago Convention. They are not looking for soft snaps, or the easiést way. The last two years has hardened these Ameérican fathers into mature men of serious purpose.

Italy’s support is counted upon, the Hapsburg intimates cause Otto, upon a restored throne, would be a match for 18- year-old Princess Maria of Sa- voy, youngest daughter of the King of Italy.

An additional piece of Hapsburg logic is that an' Austro-Huhgarian- Croatian empire with a Savoy Queen would not be likely to open up the question of the South Ty- rol, awarded to Italy after dis- memberment of the old dual mon- arehy.
