He had been very quiet all evening, almost sad, and as if he were not enjoying himself. With sudden impulse she leaned across the little table between them and spoke. “‘You're so quiet.” His eyes met hers steadily. ‘T have been wondering i you re- member that 1 told you this morning there was something 1 wanted to speak to you about.” : Georgie's eyes opened wide. “I'd forgotten,” she said guiltily. “I thought so.” He looked away from her into the crowded ballroom. “Have you had enough of this?” he asked bluntly. “But it’s only twelve o’clock,” objected. He made a helpless gesture with his hands. “It’s such a noise. I can’t talk to you. “It’s quiet enough here. What do you want to tell me? Is anything the matter?” He turned his head to her again, his eyes angry. “Yes,” he said, “I love you, and 1 know you don’t care a hang about me, that's what's the matter.” Georgie stared at him, and her heart-beats quickened. “You mean . ..you want to marry me?” she asked. “Yes.” He moved his chair a little nearer to her round the table. “I know you don’t care for me; 'but. you like me a little, don’t you?” “I like you a great deal.” “Then couldn’t you? I mean, won't you?” “I don't love you,” Georgie said. “I know, but lots of girls marry fellows and get to love them after- wards.” There was a little silence, then Georgie said: “Not if they love someone else— do they?” There was an uncertain note in her voice. Clifford laughed harshly. “Do you love someone else?” “Yes.” “Someone who won't marry you?” “He can’t. He's married.” “Would he it he could?” “I don’t think so,” Georgie said truthfully, and -then more firmly. “No, I'm quite sure he wouldn't.” ‘And you're going on all your life hankering after a fellow who doesn’t cate for you?" “It's not ‘hankering’,” Georgie said. “I'm quite happy; at least I thiok I am.” “Do I know him?” “No.” . “Do you ever see him.” “I haven’t, not for a long time. At'least it seems a long time,” she added wistfully. *“And you're content to go on, hop- ing that some day he will change hig mind?” : “Lgon’t think about it like that.” she NLJFFORD laid his hand over hers. “Liook here,” he said. “I think 1 understand you. You live: in' the clogds—and dreand. ‘Aren't yop dreaming now about this: fellow?— Just imagining that you. love him? You must want & home of your own, and a htsband. All girls do.

She was feeling very miserable; it was'bad enough to be unhappy herself, but to know that | someone else was unhappy on her account made things a thousdnd times harder, especially someone who had been a kind friend. They said goodnight to their host- ess, Georgie pleading a headache. “l haven't really got one,” she told Clifford as they went out to his car, “Bdt it seemned unkind to leave without some real reason.” ' “She probably thinks that it was just an excuse to get away with me,” he answered unkindly. “1 don't mind what'she thinks,” Georgie said serenely. They drove away in silence. was a cold clear night with a pale moon which looked as if someone | had unkindly given 1t a punch on the cheek. Georgie looked at it and remembered that the same moon was shining down on Germany, and on the hospital where Nicholas Boyd lay. Was he in much pain? She clasped her hands closely together, telling herself that she ought to be there with him. What | was it he had once said to her? | “Someone who, perhaps quite un- intentionally, lays a gentle hand ¢n your soul.” The memory of those words was like something warm wrapped around her, and for a moment she closed her eyes. Clifford spoke suddenly. “I suppose I shan't be seeing you again.” “Oh, why not?” “You don't want me.” Georgie wished she could say “yes I do” and really mean it. It would be wonderful if she' could return this man’s love, to want him and to | have him for her own, but she knew it was not possible. “Can’t we still be friends?” she pleaded. He laughed mirthlessly. *All girls say that when they turn a chap down.” He pulled the car about into a garage. “I've got to get some gasoline.” He left her, banging the door be- hind him as he got out. It made Georgie remember Ed- ward Bancroft; he was so fond of banging doors, and he banged them so eloquently. She smiled faintly, looking back- wards at her lite with him. ‘Would she ever go back to it? And if so, would she mind very muca? Clifford was talking to the garage | she watched him with far | man; away eyes. He was good to look at, strong, reliable; surely some day he would meet a girl who would care for him as he deserved? Just’ now he looked unhappy. There was a frowning line of pain between his kind eyes, a line which she had unwittingly brought there. | She looked away from him with a conscience-stricken feeling. HE street seemed very deserted; a dog rummaged about in 'the opposite gutter for ‘a bome, and & woman had just éome out of alittls shop where tobacco and neWspapers and sweets were sold, and was standing looking up at the moon. Georgie wondered it her thoughts were sad too; it somewhere in the world there was somebody she wonld like to have beén with and was aot allowed to by Life, or Fate, or whatevér ‘power it was that-or. dained ' things. The little shop looked peaceful enough with its drawn blinds and dim light shining through the crack, and yet it was impossible to tell what sorrow and tragedy lived be- hind its walls. She:was #n. a mood to notice de- talls: Idly she picked up a scrap ot paper lying’on the seat beside her: &' torn fragmént from what was probably the afternoon paper. “She looked at it with vague inter- i est, then ‘suddenly she caught her breath with a sharp sound of pain.
