Chapter 27 THE KISS 'OULD you like me to #me and see you off?” Georgie asked. Nicholas laughed a little. “} can think of nothing that I should like less,” and then feeling her hurt silence. he added. *“And that is o compliment, if you know how to take it.” He took off his hat once =gain and looked up at the moon. “Say good-bye to me, Robin, | and run home.” “1 don’t want to say good-bye to you.” “‘Say goud-night then.” She stood with down bent head, twisting her fingers together like a chifld, “Shan’t I ever see you again?* “I don't kmow." Georgie was silent for a moment, | then she said haltingly. “If you ever want to see me, I'll try to come no matter where you ate.” ‘Thank you, dear.” P “Even it it's Gérmany.” He smiled. “Or somewhere so far away that you couldn’t possibly get thiere?” he asked with faint mock- ery. here isn’t such a place,” Georgie said confidently, then suddenly she laughad. “Uncle 'Edward always £dys that where there’s'a will there's a 'way, but he says that the trouble with most people is that ‘there’s no damned will’ Well, I've got lots ef damned will.” And then as he did not speak; she added. “I'hope you're not shocked because I said ‘damn’?” Nicholas Boyd moved suddenly, putting out a hand and drawing her to him, so that now the meonlight fell full on her face: “You look ‘Mke -an elf,” he said. “Something I'm just imagining . . . something that’s slipped off a moon- beam, I should ltke to xiss you, but ...” then abruptly he let her go. “Run hortie, Robin, you must be tided” But Georgie did not move. “I should like you to kiss me,” shp whispered after a moment, and then as he shook his. head— “Please!” “No, Robin.” £l Bhe drew a quick breath. k; #Well then, I'll kiss you—" He bent his head as he might have donoe to receive a kiss from & child, turning the uninjured side of hig face to her. But Georgle said, *No, the other side—"-and before he could prevent her, her soft lips had touched the ugly twisted scar In'®& tender caress. “Robin!” Boyd said hoarsely. He caught her by the shoulders, but' she broke away and the next moment she was.running away from him govm the moonlit road. 3y B URING the next fortnight so ” -many things happened to Geor- gle that life seemed like a perplex- ing kateldoscope whirling around her and showinz her different pic- tuges with every movement. In the first place her mother, as s00m as she arrived in London, went (as! Edward Bancroft ‘jeeringly & seribed it) “all maternal.” Bhe arrived at the Hollles ln a hiréd limousine and informed her brother-in-law that she was going to take her ehild: away. “She looks like an actress out of ‘¢heap mielodrama,” Baneroft: in- formod Georgie, meeting her in the doorway after she bad run breath, lu.ly up the gnrdan path very ex- by the sight Of the huge car at #he gate. “And she's talking like & Sol—she wants to take yoa to . w*Lowdon to stay with her.” “Bvelyn looked beautiful, the girl thaught, and she smelt like the sceat department in a large store, agshe bent and graclously dropped a Mght kiss on Georgle's b:o'n chaek. ““¥ou're coming to London 'kl mb" she sald. “If I'd known’ that Her mother snivered. al “Well, how long will it take you to pack your things?” she asked. Georgie considered. “Abaut. five minutes I should think. I haven't 3ot very much to pack.” Evelyn eyed her disparagingly. “Is that your best frock?” “Second best,” Georgie said. “Well, | suppose it will do to travel in. Nobody will see you in the car. Ilow eyver you managed te live here all tliie-tinre passes my comprehension.” “It was Hobson's cholce," Georgie said resentfully. She .went upstairs slowly. wnb a regretful look at the closed study door. Would Edward iniss her? she sup- posed mnot, even while the rather hoped that he would; perhaps he would be relieved by her absence. She pulled open all the drawers in the one small chest, her bedroom contained, and tipped the contents helter-skelter onto the floor. It ‘looked rather a hopeless mess. she thought; cestainly there was noth- 'ing which would meet with Evelyn's approval. Mrs. Drill appeared in the door- | way. “You're going away?”’ she asked in dfsmay. Geargie nodded. “That’s my motb- er downstairs” “My!” Mrs. Drill was nwed “She looks like a princess,” she said. Georgie was thrilled. “Yes, she’s rather beautiful,” she admitted. “Not & bit like you,” Mrs. Drill said ‘tactlessly. When she had departed again, Georgle looked in the mirror. No, there wasn’t the faintest re- semblanee between herself, so0 brown - and elfin. looking, and the graceful, pink and white woman downs.airs. She turned away and selected the most respectable of her shabby garments and packed them imto a suitcase. It seemed funny to be leaving the Hollies so abruptly; it was like up- rooting a plant that had always grawn in the country and takiag it up to Loadon, and she was not sure thig was the sort of place you've bden living in, 1 lhould have taken away years ago.” ” 1 :10 know,” Georgie said. I'Ol!m' t on, disregarding the " 1 statement. - - Rorm'nd...holaonl{ta a m m mn round publlc whether plants that were used to the country liked living among chimney pots and paving stones. 'OWEVER, it was very exciting, gomosthing that would take her mlnd oft the tragic happening of three days ago, when Nichelas Boyd departed for Germany. She had gone to see bim off after all, thongh he had not known it. She had stood on the far end of the plat- form, her heart thumping, her eyes eagerly scanming every compart- ment as the train passed her with ever Increasing speed. She hads caught.one glimpse of him sittiog in a corner, his back turned to her, and she had blown.a kiss to his-shoulders and averted head beforo the train rounded -the bend and disappeared. Since. then the world had seemed curiously empty; as if someone had dug a big bhole in it which nothing could ever fill. The days had seemed long, and the nights endless, and only that morning returning from a torlorn - walk, -Georgle. had. decided to write to Clifford Asher and ask him to take her out to another lunch. In ker mind she had even composed the letter, but when she: turned the corner and saw the big Daimler at her uncle’s gate, every- as | thing else had been wiped l!om hll memory; And gow she was going to lna- don to live in am expensive hatel and have extravagant lunches every day of her life; she wondered why she was not more thrilled at the prospect. She put on her hat and coat, hat- ing the Bat—it always made her head ache—and dragged the suit case after ber. down -the stairs bumping it at every step. Evelyn came out into the hall to meet er, “My dear child, couldn’t the ser- vants have brought that dowm for you?’ she agked. 3 “We haven't got any,” Geor:le said bluntly. “Only Mrs. Drill, and she’s not so strong as I am.” “Are. you ready? asked her n“Yes, don’t you want to. say luodv bye to Uncle-Edward?” -- Evelyn shivered. “I shink you esn say all the fare- wells that are necessary,” she mur mured. Georgie weat to the study. ld ward Bancroft was sitting by the fire in spite of the warm day, with his usual tumbler of whisky. “SAY - : CcoME FOTHINK OF IT-. 'L I'M SURE.

There are two general routes for the nerthern end of the high- way, either of which would serve to open new Alaskan territory of importance and contribute "to the general development.

Both routes the American viewpoint. Benefits Are Cited 5. The benefits to be gained from the project from the Ameri- can point of view are: (@ Development of Alaska through making the Territory ac- cessible by highway, resulting in an increase of population and con- sequent increase in revenue from the taxes, tending to decrease Ferritory. by erican citizens now living in Alaska under adverse conditions, hy pro-| viding a physical connection with the vast continental road system. (¢) ©Opening of new country that is now practically inaccessible, giving opportunity for settlement, investment of capital and employ- ment. (@ The new road would make accesstble to the continental high- way system the existing road net in central Alaska comprising about 900, miles, providing a new and valuable area for exploration, for recreation, or for business purposes. (e) The highway would foster| air commerce with Alaska by furn- ishing a guiding landmark and pro- viding service to aviators along the most practicable flying route to the interior of the Territory and to -Asia. (f) Promotion of friendly rela- tions between citizens of United States and Canada. ~No attempt is made to evaluate the benefits Canada would derive from this project, but it may bef W mentioned that in addition to such direct development of new Canad- ian territory as might be brought about. by the road, Canada would gain the business and commerce ! incident to providing sepvice and supplies to motorists using the road for access to Alaska.

Since the annual cost of op- is about $7,000000 on excess Of revenues, the expenditure of am addition $3,000000 — spread over sexeral years—for the purpose of development of the Territory t@ a more nearly self-supporting basis, is not unreasonoble. 7.
