“ @ Liie "o e " Y e THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, SATURDAY, SEPT. 9, 1933. Chapter 48 THE FIRE EORGIE was wet through before she had gone a mile, but her mind was toc full of the detail of {her sorrow for her to pay heed to ithe rain. | There was, Indeed. something comforiing about the steady fall of it, and the necessitles of walking occaslonally took her mind off her loneliness and her desire to see Nicholas, or at least to know where, exactly, he was. There was Clifford too; it seemed terribly harsh that in order to re- mdin true to herself and her own ideals, it should have been neces- sary to hurt an innocent and kindly soul 0 very much. At ‘last she arrived at the little town which always seemed so mag- nifcent in contrast to the village whiera_she lived. The only vacant sedt {n the'picture house wa: one r[;)t 9! the back under the gallery. Qeorgie ‘did not care; she sdleezed past a couple of stout wo- men and sit down with a sigh of relef. Bhe was tired. Lately she had not doie much walking, The big picture of the afternooun wa halt way through, and though she- watched It. Georgie's thoughts kept wandering away—many miles away to a place called Ireland witere she had never been, and which seemed- furtber away than Getmany, further even than Amer- ica, as far away as Eternity, One of the stout women beside her said in' tones of great satisfac- tiof as the last scene of the big ple- turs flickered out: “There, | knew it would end hap plly—they always do.” And the other stout woman an- swered cheerily: ¥Wall, and so they should. Things coine righ. in life too, if you only give them a chance.” Georgie felt a strange little thrill of envy; it was good to find some- one wlo belleved that life came right; she wished that she could be- lieve it also. “The Topical News.” Georgie watched mechanically while hurdle races, stout gentlemen making speeches, girls who all looked more or less like Bernle Boyd diving into shallow pools, and airmen risking their lives In fm- possible stunts, flitted across the scfeen, and then Georgie's heart seemad to miss a beat as she read the caption, “Famous travellers of the week, by air and sea.” A be-spectacled American million- aire alighting from an aeroplane at Croydon; a well-known racing mo- tofist walking down a ship’s gang- way at Southampton, a musical cotfiedy actress standing in the doorway of a Pullman at Waterloo, and last of all “Mr. Nicholas Boyd, the famous film star, leaving the mall boat at Dublin.” Georgie felt as it her heart had llopped beating as in a dream she sdw the tall figure of Nicholas Boyd limping slowly down the gangway, his coat-collar turned up, one hand restiag on the wooden rail. I'he disfigured side of his face ‘was away from the camera, but just as he reached land he turned his head, apparently unconsclous of what was happening, and it seemed to Georgie that his eyes looked straight into hers. Just for a moment, then the plc- turs ftickered out and was gone, The stout lady beside her broke inte voluble talk. “Poor dear, they needn’t have photographed him! Did you see the ugly side of his face? And he was 80 good looking. Suchk & shame I think!™ Georgie's head hld sunk onto her arms; she almost felt as if she were dying. The stout lady touched ber shoulder “Are you ill, Miss?” She looked up with an effort. | “*No thank you—at feast . . . it's |rather warm isn’t it?

She felt the sob: ris- {1n¢ in hef throat as she walked away from the little picture house, fesling as it.she was leaving behind {the ma. she loved. “Oh why' can’t.l be with him? Why can’t 17" she asked herself dewperately. “R ouily ' something ;w“ld happen to make it possible.” By the World FORGOT A New Serial by RUBY M. AYRES "It seemed so futile, this separa: tion, when they loved each other, so unnecessarily cruel. “Paper, Miss?* A bright eyed boy thrust an evening paper towards her, and Georgie ' mechanically hunted for a penny. “Bus just going, Miss,” the boy' sald again with an evident knowl- edge of the requirements ot movie patrons. Georgie came back to the present with a start, and running acioss the road she managed to secure the last seat on the shabby little bus. The rain had stopped but every- thing looked grey and desolate, the street lamps twinkling through the darkness like wet eyes. The world seemed to be full of tears Georgie thought in despair. Why was the world so full o. tears? Mrs. Drill had gone when she reached home, but Edward Ban. eroft called to her from his study. “Is that you?"” “Yes.” She went Into the room. “1 suppose you didn’t think to get me ap evening paper?” he asked grufly, “Yes." Georgie laid the paper on the' table. His ey:s were upon her. “You'ro wet through,” he sald. “Go and change.” The reluctant kindness in his voice brought the tears to Georgie's eyes. “It's mackintosh,” she said, “I1 shan’t be hurt.” She watted, hoping vaguely for something more, she hardly knew what. But Edward Bancroft had taken up the paper and was en- grossed in its contents. After a mo- ment she said, "I've been to the pic- tures.” Anything to keep the conversa- tion going; she felt as if she were shut into an empty world where there was nobody to speak to, no- body to answer it she spoke. Edward Bancroft grunted. “Damned silly things,” he said. “Ought to be stopped. Even paupers seem to be able to find money to go and wallow in the rubbish they show at picture houses.” “I 'ike them,” Georgie said. “Humph,"” shook out the pape~ impatiently. “Well, here’s one of the beastly places burnt down, and a good job too. Two people burnt to death. Well, what can they expect 1t they go to such'death-traps; won- der it doesn’t happen more often.” “How dreadful,” Georgle sald. In | the following silence there was a koock at the front door; mnobody ever tried to ring the bell and if they had it would have been use- less. “J'LL see who it is,” Georgle said. In a moment she returned. “A message from Mrs, Spears, Uncle Edward—she would llke to see you.” “Humph—well, she can walt. Say r'll come presently.” Edward Baocroft spoke grumplly, but vhen Georgie returned from de- livering the messzge he had gone upstairs to his room. She repressed a little smile, real- ising that perhaps the Boar's Head was not the only place where what Mrs. Spears said, was meant. She sat down by the fire and took up the evening paper. A headline caught her eye, and she read on mechanically. “An appalling fire in the new Killick studlos early today resulted in the tragic loss of two lives. Miss Bernie Boyd, the voung film star who bas made such a rapid stride towards fame during the st few months, was trapped in er dressing room. and though desperate attempts were made to rescue her, she was burnt to death before she could be reached.

The two bodies. charred beyvond zecognition were found elose to- gether. Edvard Bapcroft's loud volce boomed suddenly through the si- lent house. “Georgie! Georgie! Where the devil is my blue suit?” and then again as no answer was forthcom- ing. “Georgie? Can’t you hear? Why the deuce .. ..” and then bis lumber- ing step came down the stairs. He puahed wide the halt closed study door. “Have you gone stone deaf that you can’t hear when you'rn being called? Here am I ... oh my God, Georgie!™ But Georgie was lying tuddled and insensible on the flour- and could not answer.
