- BARNEY GOOGLE AND SPARK PLUG WELL-WELL ---- THE LITTLE RASCAL FOR YOUR EDUCATION, YOU CAN HAVE A PRIVATE TUTOR ! By the World FORGOT A New Serial by RUBY M. AYRES [, SYNOPSIS: Georgle Bancrofé # =/ Ras had to teil Clifford Asher that #he_cannot marry him because she Toves another man. The other man is Nicholas Boyd, and Nicholas is in Germany trying to have re- moved the scar that has ruined his | career as a film_star, What is worse, he is marricd. On her way home "from the dance where Clif- ford proposed, Georgie finds o scrap of newspaper with the head- Tine “Movie Star Dies Sudden- 1y.” She is horrified, wntil finally Bishop, her stepfather, finds a pa- er, and she learns it is not Nicho- as. She suddenly realizes Bishop's _ underlying kindness. 4 s e Chapter 35 THE WRONG BOX E was staring straight in front of him, his mouth set in lines of pain; then he said slowly, “We're both in the wrong box, Georgie, you and I, but we might help each other by being friends, don’t you think?” She did not speak, and he went on. “When your mother wanted you to come here, I thought it would be a great nuisdnce. I'm not used to young people about me. Perhaps you will think it odd if I tell you that you've brought the only bit of sunshine I've had in my life for a great many years. We haven't spo- ken together much, you and I, but,” he took his arm aw, “I should like to help you if I can He waited a moment and then asked, “Who's name was it you were afraid of reading in the paper just now?” And Georgie told him.

There was a little silence. “And this woman, this Bernfe Boyd,” Bishop asked. “I don't think she loves him,” Georgie said. “I don’t know wh: but somehow I don’t think she doe or she would be with him now, wouldn’t she?"” “A woman like that could not love anyone but bersell,” Rishop said. He stood up and began roaming restlessly rourd the room in the way that always made Georgie think of a lion shut up in a cage. He came back to her at length, a tall gaunt figure in his dressing-gown, his hands thrust into the pockets. “Is your mind set at rest now?” heagised. . “You mean beeause it wasn't his name in the paper *“Yes.” Georgie sighed tragically. “It it had been I think I should have *People do not die so easily lapswered. 2 Impulsively she stretched a hand to him, laying it on his arm. “I never knew you could be so kind,” she said. “Kind!” he laughed rather grim- 1y. “I suppose everyone is kind to ome person once in a lifetime,” he amswered, and then, “You won't cry any more if I leave you?” “Fll try not to.” “Goodnight then.” Georgie stood up. “I need not ask you not to tell—Evelyn,” she said timidly. “No,” he said. eanfidences.” He went away without another word or look at her, and Georgle went on with her undressing. “I do not betray E following morning Georgie went down to the studio to see Bernie Boyd making a picture. Evelyn had asked for and re- celved the invitation, and she was tmordinately proud of the fact. “Miss Boyd does not as a rule al- ‘lew strangers to see her,” so she told Georgie. “But in my case she Bas made an exception, 50 you must Behave and keep Very quiet so as 8ot to disturb anyone.” Georgle thought she was far more Mkely to keep quiet than her mother was; Evelyn loved talking and air- fieg her views. i “Bishop is coming with us,” her o |mother said” discontentedly. “I ‘m’} know why, but he pretends to interested. Of course it's only nce; nothing really interests except making money.” Georgie’s lips moved to say some- thing, but she closed them again, that 1t would never do for to_attempt to defend her step- They drove down in Bishop’s big | new Rolls. “How much did it cost?” Georgie asked in curiosity when she first saw it, and she gasped when her mother answered lightly— “Oh, about ten thousand, I sup- pose.” It seemed an enormols sum, Georgie thought, surely enough to keep half a dozen Nellys in break- fast and other necessities for the rest of their lives? It was queer how unevenly money was divided, some ‘| people had so much they did not know what to do with it, and other people had nothing at all. She tried to remember what it was in the Bible that Christ had told someone to sell for three hun- dred pence and give to the poor, and she wondered if Bishop had ever heard about it, and what he would say were it suggested to him that he sell the big car and help people like Nelly. But Bishop was very generous; out in America she had been told of some huge charitable organization which was entirely financed from his pocket, so perhaps one could not very well complain about the Rolls. Bishop was very quiet as they drove out of London; he sat with his eyes closed, looking more tired then Georgie glanced at him pity- ingly. She wondered why Evelyn al- ways insisted that there was noth- ing the matter with him! To her in- experfenced eyes he looked a very sick maa., Queer that with all his v he could-not obtain the most able thing in the world, heaith, The most desirable thing after love that is, for Georgie was still young and unsophisticated enough to be- lieve that love came first, always. HE studios were hot and daz zlingly lit, and full of men who all seemed very busy and important, |and in a great hurry. Georgie was introduced to several of them, and they called her “my dear” and one of them told her she had a film face. Bernie Boyd seemed to be the centre of attraction, and held court ike a queen, her face made up in a way which Georgie thought hide- ous, but which Evelyn explained was necessary for a successful picture, Evelyn liked to think she knew all about the business in hand. She ex- plained various details to Georgie in an entirely incorrect manner, and appeared deeply interested. “Well, what do you think of it?” Bishop asked Georgie once. He was standing looking on with bored eyes. “Does it fire your ambition to be a star?” “I don’t think so,” Georgie faid. “l wonder if men have to make up like that too? Somehow she could not imagine Nicholas being drilied and ordered about, and made to do the same thing over and over again until it was entirely to the director’s satis faction, Presently she wandered off to a corner of the studio by herselt where a pile of photographs which sho knew were called “stills” lay in an untidy heap. She turned them over curiously — dozens of them were of Bernie Boyd—Bernie in all attitudes, registering delight, fear, sorrow. Yes, she certainly had & very beautiful face, Georgie was bound to admit, more beautiful per- haps when assisted by the skill of a camera man than when left un- touched. “It's all right about your friend, the orle who needs a job. Miss Boyd is willing to give ber a trial.” “Oh, how sweet of you,” she sald gratefully, but to her surprise Bishop frowned. “I dislike that expression,” he said rather curtly, and then, “Don’t b;x,gln copying your mother, Geor- gle.” M “Fm sorry,” she said helplessly, and then he smiled. “I told you last night we were both in the wrong box,” he said. Bernie came up to them at that moment; she was smiling and ap- parently very pleased with herself. She spoke to Georgie and asked it she were enjoying herself. “Yes, thank you,” Georgie said, and then, “Are you?” she asked, Bernie laughed. “Does anyone en- joy work, I wonder?” she said. She laid a very much whitened hand on Bishop’s coat sleeve. “So kind of you to come,” she murmured in quite a different tone of voice.
