Bernie's husband Nicho- las. For Lefare Nicholas left for Germany and an opcration that may cyre the scarred face that lias euded his career as a mavie star, lie let Georgie know that he cares for her. Georgie obtains for Nelly Foster a job as maid to Bernie; she also has learned Nicholas’ address in Germany, and 8it8 downi to write him a letter. Chapter 32 LOVE LETTER EORGIT had never written a love letter in her life, and she !lid fiot know that she was writing oné fiow as she carefully dipped her pen in the ink and began her letter to Nicholas Boyd with the very cir- cumspect words “Dear Mr. Boyd.” Perhaps he would understand that In Ber heart she was really saying “Carling Nicholas,” she thought hopefully as she held her charming head a little on one side and stared down at the words. “Never show your true feelings to a mdn,” Evelyn had said. “And if you want to be happy, never love a man as well as he loves you.” Georgie sighed and went on with her task. 1 thought perhaps you would write to me. As you haven't, 1 am writing a little riote to say that 1. hope you are quite well.. Mrs. Boyd is staying in this hotel, and I think she is beautiful. She was yery nice to me, too, when Evelyn intfoduced us. They came over on the same ship, you know. 1did not tell her 1 knew you as 1 was not sure if you would like me to. “Germany seems a long way off, and it you feel a little lonely, per- ““R,' this letter will cheer you up, out you a rreat deal, and o fre e you are. 1 suppose E am having ‘a good time. I go &bout a great deal to dinners, and lunch parties and theaters; 1 haven't been to the plctures at all singe you went away. *“I've got lots of new frocks and 1 am much better looking than 1 used to be, though Evelyn says it is the clothies and not me at all. *“Tonight 1 am going to a dance with Clifford Asher. the man I told you about. He is very kind and 1 think he Trather likes me, but 1 on't care for him at all; not In hat way. 1 suppose it sounds un- kind, but 1 don't mean to be. *“When are you ~oming back? If ¥you would just send a postcard and glve me some Idea, 1 should be very leased, | hope 'you will not be ired of reading this letter; perhaps. Fhad better stop, but I wanted you 3 knuw that 1 haven't changed be- F(ou are so far away. Love lrom bin.” She read through what she had ritten with a sense of deep dissat- luhc_uon. and added an impulsive postscript.

P, P. 8.—I've got a new evening , & red one like the one you liked on the boat.” YES she had chosen it as nearly s possible the same color as the ong Nicholas had remarked about; sha would wear it when he came home, if she saw him. And then hard on that thought tame the suddén terrifying krnowl- edge that ché might never see him agaln, . Perhaps, she thought, he never wants to see me again. For cer- jainly she could not recall even one Instance where Nicholas had taken the Initiative in their relationship; .my.s i had been she who made the ,ndvances. and he who hung back. r¢le supposed that making lhaie advances would be classed by Evelyn as “conduct unbacomlni a lady.” Well, perhaps it was, but still she did not regret her actlons.

She looked cross and a little tired. “So here you are!” she said. “Why in the world need you stay indoors on such a fine day, and whom are you writing to?’ she demanded catehing sight of the lettér under Georgie's hand. “A triend,” Georgie said. She felt- horribly guilty and as it she had once again broken a most stringent rule in the as yet unwritten book on love. A Evelyn's discontented eyes grew suspicious. “A friend! I thought you had no friends,” she sald sharply. She bhad had a most unsatisfactory lunch, and had chosex to consider herself “ig- nored” by a woman with whom she was anxioug to be friends. “I haven’t many,” Georgle sald. “Is it anyone I know ?” Evelyn in sisted. “No.” “A man, I presume? “Yen.” Evelyn stretched out a white hand. “Show it to me,” she commanded. “No,” said Georgie. Evelyn flushed dully; she was not really interested, but she was in the mood to quarrel with anyone who, gave her the opportunity. ) “I a@m your mother, and I order you to show me that letter,” she sald. “No,” said Georgie. “How dare you?” Evelyn raved. “After all I've done for you. Spent money on you; taken you out of the gutter of your uncle’s unspeakable house.” EORGIE went white; It hurt her Intolerably to hear the only home she had ever known spoken of in such terms. “Well, you put me there In the first place,” she sald. Evelyn burst into tears. “To think that my only child should speak to me In such a way. I was a fool to expect that you would ever repay me for the sacrifice 1 have made for you.” “What sacrifice?” Georgie asked in a cold little voice. “Having you to live with me.” She broke oft as the door opened and Bishop waiked into the room. He looked at his wife and then at Georgie and a strafige little smile crossed his face. Evelyn flew to him. “Georgle has Insulted me,” she wept hysterically. “She says I'm not an ordinary mother—that she hard- ly knows me, after all I've done for her.” She looked up into his face. “How can you stand there and allow me to be treated so cruelly?” “I think Georgie is right if she said that you are not an ordinary mother,” Bishop sald calmly. “And after all, my dear, you forget that anything you have done for her, has been with my money. Evelyn gave a stifled scream. “And anyway, what is the trou- ble?” Bishop asked in his tired voice. It was Georgie who answered him. “Evelyn wanted to see a letter I had written, and 1 didn't want to show it to her.” “I have a right. She Is my child,” Evelyn so sved. “Georgle is over age,” Bishop an- swered in his tired voice. “And I do not consider that you have any more right to read her letters than I have to read yours,” he added wlth quiet meaning. There was an eloquent lflenq hen Evelyn sald falntly: “Of course, it you are going to side with her agalnst me I Bave nothing more to say.” “That is good,” her husband ln— swered calmly. He turned his back on them both, and after a moment Evelyn flounced out of the room. a little silence follow- rture, then Georgie sald, Ty { made trouble.

Tough Break for Ma ]ors By PAUL ZIMMERMAN (Asrsociated Press Sports Writer) LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 21— er), footsore nzajor Leagu scouts, tramping the Pacific slop: lh'-sc quest of pitching talen cast a| mournful eye upon one Frank Shel- | lenback. The tall Hollywood right-hand- er had won fourtéen games when two-thirds of the season were over. Seven defeats were written against him in thé Codst League stand- ings. 3 Lams '’Em Out of Lot In the four previous scasons he woll 98 games, against 36 defeats, but that isn't the full story his ability. He's a pinch hitter of the first water. Six times this year he has hit for the circuit Since 1929 he has made 39 round trips by hammering ths ball out of the lot, and his baiting average for the last quarlet of years is .295. This despite the fact that “Shelly” now is 34. But Shellenback can't be had by the Majors. The most consist- ent hurler ih the league over a prolonged period of time, he can't go up. Neither can he go down to a loop of lower classification. He's Shipwrecked, Mates! In fact, he is stranded on the!' shores of the Pacific, like a ship- wrecked seafarer. He is mar-| ooned in the Coast League because of too much moisture. The spit- ball is his stock in trade. Shellenback might stiii be in the Major Leagues, except for the vagaries of baseball lezislation. He went up to the Chicago White Six! Jjust before the saliva ball went out. Each Major League team was allowed to register only two users of the slippery elm. The White Sox named Ed Walsh and Urban' ‘Faber. Since Hellenback wasn't tered regis- in the Majors he couldn't stay. But he was listed property in the Pacific Coast League and back he came.
