PAGE FOUR By the Worl A New Serial BYNOPSI8: Georgie buncroft has learned through a friend that Nicholas Boyd is returning from ny where he has been un- successful in an attempt to have removed a scar that has ended his Pog eareer. Nicholas’ wife Bernie in London, but he does not go to her. Although she is hurt be- cause he has not told her himself, Georgie decides to go to Nicholas’ apartment. His valet first tells her icholas will not see her, but Nicholas appears suddenly, and eke her in. ? Chapter 39 y NICHOLAS’ CROSS ‘OU didn’t answer my letter,” Georgie said. “Perhaps i hadn't anything to Nicholas replied, and then with az effort. “It was kind of you to write; kinder of you to come here.” That little lump in Georgie’s jthroat was threatening once more to choke her; she wanted so des- Perately to say something that ‘would comfort him—to say that she didn’t mind how he looked—that he would always be the same to her— the dashing hero of the silver screen who had first captured her girlish \fancy, but she was afraid of hurting him, of driving home to him more deeply the realization of all he had lost. It was he who broke the silence ith an attempt at lightness. “So you have been making friends ith my wife?” * “Not friends,” Georgie said, then Tealizing that her words were not iVery polite she hastened to amend jthem. “I don’t think I am the sort lot girl she would make friends with, (bilt she was very nice. I went to the studio to see her making a picture.” | “And did you find it very in- {triguing?” |. “Not very.” ey cured you of your ambition to a film sfar?” ‘Yes.” “And so you've been having a hec- tic time?” he said after a moment. “Lots of fun and dances and pro- posals, I suppose.” She did not answer, and he went jon? “It's wonderful to be young and |happy, Robin. Make the most of {t.” | “I'm not happy,” Georgie said. “At (least, not in the way you mean. And |I wish you wouldn’t talk to me as if 1 -}were a chiid.” “You are a child. You looked so much of a child when I saw you standing out in tho hall there just mow that I felt as if I ought to have ‘brought you back a doll.” | She made no reply, and suddenly he knew that she was weeping, quiet fweéping which was so much harder to listen to unmoved than a burst of jsobbing would have been, He bore it in silence for a moment, |then he said almost angrily; “I don’t iknow why you're crying. I don’t cry, jand after‘all it's my funeral. “are you going pack to America?” Names Officers : “No.” “Where then?” she persisted. “God alone know There wi short silence. Georgie could feel a little pulse hammering in her tem le as if it were trying to drive her to say thé things that were in her heart; the things which sure- lly no “nice” girl would ever dare to say, then she heard her own voice, a little breathléss with daring. * “Well, wherever it is, I shall go with you.” Nicholas laughed. “You most cer- tainly will not,” he said emphatical- ly. “Why not?” rN “Becaause I—because...” Then he broke off and walked away from her to the window. Such an ugly window Geozgie thought, hung with. | drab curtains which nobody had { troubled to draw. H “Why not?” she asked again as he did not speak, He answered her then, in a voice | that was a little hard. i “Because in the first place you don't know what you are talking about. In the second place [ am a married man, and even if I were not, our lives run along roads that are miles apart, roads that can never meet, and anyway I—" he broke off once more. “And anyway you don’t want me,” Georgie said bluntly. Fee “What I want is beside the point. Um fond of you of course, I don’t know why; probably because you in- sist that I shal! be.” rp “f suppose I ought to,be offended | at that.” s “It was not intended offensively.” HE felt the tears wet on her cheeks again. “If what you want is beside the point, doesn’t what 1 want matter at all?” ; es “You don’t know what you want; you're just a child, a romantic child, but let me tell you that there is no romance, or there would not be if you had to live with me. I’m bad- tempered, selfish—but you’ve proved that already. [ hate being out of the lime-light. 1 can’t mi the best of it. I’m bitterly resentful.” © “You wouldn’t be if you had some- thing to take its place.” rasa “What something?” “Me.” She saw a sudden movement of his broad shoulders, but he made no comment, and she went on: “I may not be very much, not so attractive as the girls you have been used to, but I know I could make you happy.” She caught her breath before she added: “I love you so much.” “You little fool,” he said again hoarsely, “Ther so many men in the world, young, strong, the kind you must marry.” +| Georgie looked at him through her HI ‘ “I'm crying because you've shut \me out of your life,” said-in ‘lproken whisper. ‘ ». “Shut you out!” He laughed mirth. ly, “Don’t you know that there's fo room for you in my prison?

Well, ebildren don’t take up much room.” “Don't they?” he submitted som- derly, “I think there are some chil- idren who fill the whole world, if you care for them sufficiently well.” j She moved a hesitating step near- jer to him, “It must be rather sweet to be {eared for so much,” sho said breath- Soedl and again her hand stole into Dis. |AJICHOLAS moved suddenly, touch- ing a switch in the wall and flooding the room with ligtht. “Now look at me,” he said.
