She had been fifsucha long tfme: sometimes it seethed as if she had never known anything but a dark- ened room, and hushed volces and @ kind, capable arm that seemed to punctuate the days by gently lifting | her and making her drink unpleas- ant things. Slie was better now. Only that morning Dr. Dudd, who bad felt un able to rely-en his own 8kid and had brought ‘amother -doetor from London to'ghare the responsibility, had beamed”down at Georgie and liad told her he was proud of her. "“You'll do.” he said comfortably. “You'll do very wel.” “Thank you,” Georgie sald po- litely. And then just now Edward Bam ¢roft had come to see her; a sub- dued looking Edward who stood awkwardly at the foot of the bed and seemed as uncomfortable as a bull ttat has suddenly found itself n a china shop. “Well, what about 16?” he jerked out after a moment. faintly. Somehow she knew she was all #ght though for the moment she felt too weak to peer into all the corners of her mind and discover why she was so sure: Presently, she asked "Are you married yet?” “Married!” Edward Bancroft féoked as awkward as a echoolboy. “Married!” he repeated scorn- fully. “I should say not. Not while you've been lying here scaring us all out of our wits. No, I told her she must wait.” As a matter of fact, it was Mrs. Spears who had told Edward that he must wait. “Time enough for u8,” she had said flatly. “Life and death are more important things than marriage.” ' Edward would like to have sald that sometimes death and marriage were one, and the same thing, but Re restrained himself; he was not feeling quite so facetious as usuak "*He came round to the side of @eorgie’s bed and patted her hand, “Nothing to worry about,” he said; 4you'll be all right.” “I'm afraid I've been a great muf- &ance.” Georgie said. “I'm sorry.” Edward Bancroft coughed loudly to hide his unwonted emotion. “There's & good time.coming,” hi $aid, “a darned good time coming, you see.” ~uGeorgie's. eyelids flickered; sub- eonsciously, she knew what he meant, but as yet she was a little afrald of the knowledge. It seemed 36 tremendous, so overwhelming: *'She said with a nervous feeling that she must shy away from the subject, “Do you know, you look .. ¥ounger, somehow.” * Her uncle chuckled. v “Do I?

She would bave given so much 40w, to have' dbeemr able to take the 'kindly hand which she had struck down when he would have touched her. With sudden “fear bf her ownm weakness, she dragged her thoughts away’ to another picture, the most precious of the many that had flashed before her when she was so ill, and the thought of which was like a gentle arm enfolding her. Someone had come Into the room and speken her name; vot the' name Georgie, which everyone cailed her, but “Robin,” and at the sound of it it had been as if all the sorrow and unhappiness she had known rolled away and left nothing but a great peace and feeling of rest, which was so beautiful it hardly bore thinking about, even now. But Georgie did think about it. She thought about it as something alive and tangible, which she held fast to her heart when presently she fell asleep. DAY or two later Evelyn came to see her; a tearful, beautifully dressed Evelyn, who declared that she wouald never be happy again. “My life has been one long trag- edy,” she wept; carefully avoiding damaging her make-up. *I shall never be able to understand it. Why was he in that dreadful studio? Nobody seems to know. They all say he was most gallant—that he tried to save that poor little what was her name? | have actually for- gottén. As if his life was not a thousand times more valuable than hers. He might have thought of me a little—" Evelyin sobbed, forget- ting that it was the very last thing she had ever desired Bishop to do, and that already she was planning her future and a third husband, as soon as the necessary period of mourning was ended. “Fortunately, L look my best in black,” she had confided to her dressmaker. Georgie turned her face away; every .word her mother said, was adding to the vague knowledge in her own heart, and she felt that she could not bear it. Evelyn’s white. hand touched her own. “We only have each other, now,” she . said emotionally, “we must never part ‘again, Georgie, Yon must always live with me.” Georgie let that pass, it seemed ¢ | such a triviality compared with the other vivid pictures that were al- ways before her eyes. “I don’t know whather they have told you,”-Evelyn went on more composedly, “but in his will, Bis- hop left you quite a nice little sum of .money. So adorable: of hjm, -1 thiak. ‘A-hundred thousand dollars, Georg.e; he worded it so saeetly: .|‘To my wite’s little daughter, Geor- gie Bancroft.” And it was a new will, only made a tew days before he died.

He sat down beside Georgie and took lier hand, holding it against the dis- figured side of his face. Georgle was more glad about that than anythinz, glad that he should no longer try to turn it away from her. ; For a long tlme nelther of them spoke, then Georgie said in a voicer less whisper, ‘all ber ' natural ejo- quence where he was concerned quite gone. *Nick darling, s it all right?” ., *If it's right for you Robin.” Georgie gave a little sigh of com plete happiness. *I've got everything | ever wand ed.” she said. “! wish you had.” “Will you believe me, if I say I have?! “PBut you can’t . . . | mean—I coulda’t possibly make up for everything.” "It | had to choose between go- inz tack to the old life without you and stayinz as | m. wkh you, L shomigh st : ~She took his t:mA mlm hee landa, teaning forward and gazing im with passionate earnestness.

Cot Abclition or reduction of child laber in industry might be expected to throw an ad- ditionat burden cn the schoels when this potential supply of pupils is realized. This is the scoond of three stories deal- ing with this phase of the recovery pregram. ATLANTA, Ga., Sept. 11.—Com- pulsory school laws and co-opera- tion ' of industrial plants over a period of several years have re- duced to a minimum any prob- | lems of increased enrollment that might be caused by adoption of the Nationai Recovery program in the South. School officials in states where textile mills and other industrial communities abound say they an- ticipate no. difficulty = in caring for those additional children who will enter or return to school this year because, under provisions of the NRA, they will not be allowed to work. Schecl Attendance Compulsory State laws make it compulsor that all .children attend school un- til they have reached the age of 14, and those between the ag of 14 and 16 are not allowad work except by permit, issued upon approval of local school superin- tendents. A check of records of the G gia department of industrial 1 latiohs, shows that between Jan- uary 1, 1933, and July 1, 1933, when the textile codé became °I- fective, only 502 permits to work were issued to children between the ages of 14 and 16. These are scattered over more than a dozen eommunities and will be absorbed by their respective schools with- out increasing the burden of at- tendance. North Carolina authorities report that only 950 children in that state were affected by the code and that no problem in. caring for them is anticipated. Ample school facilities are provided m all indus- trial communities and co-opera~ tion’ of employers with school au- thorities in enforcement of the compulsory. attendance law has r- duced child labor to a low figure. Ne¢ Letdown Seen While - elementary and high school revenues in the several states will be somewhat lower this year than last, educational offi- cers say they do not dkpect a les- sening of school efficiency as a result of the code. In Tennessee, where it is esti- mated 2,000 children will be thrown out of work under the codes, a de- cline of 25 per cent in schooi reve- “We tell you in advance what | the job will cost.” NRA~-WE DO OUR PART nues is anticipated. «“This will not lessen school ef- nciency as much as it might ap- pear at first glance,” said James A.

He pointed out that be- fore a child under 16 can obtain a permit to work he must estab- lish that' his earnings are neces- sary to maintain either himszlf or his family. Fewer than 4,000 children are employed in industry in Alabama and since the state’s total school enrollment’ is well over 600,000 they will have little effect on the schools should they enter.
