CHAPTER 50
NATLOR NODDED. There was a
rrttle ailetce. "But Gillian." she re
sumed. “does realize It. She’s a very
s**isitive nature. I guessed as much
when 1 first suvv her at Vichy. And
«i) that she went through with that
dreadful nephew of Mrs. de Souza’s
alone in the flat ... It broke her
nerve. 1 think. That’s why I wanted
>ou to talk to her. Sensibly—as you
can talk.” The young barrister did
not stir. She made a hopeless little
gesture.
“I’ll see what Lady Tait can do.”
Rut Lady Tait was out.
Upstairs in her bedroom, or rather
the bedroom assigned her for a very
short time. Giilian Duudas was lying,
more than sitting. In an armchair.
"Without moving siie had listened to
Mrs. Burnham’s words. Even now,
when some one came In and stood
beside her. site did not stir, nor lift
her weary lids.
But at the touch of a hand on her
shoulder, she started up with a cry.
“Gt'lian.” Etta had never called
her that before. “I would like to help
you. Mrs. Burnham said you want
to get away for a little quiet. But
she doesn’t think you should, or can,
go just now. I don’t agree. Suppose
we slip awur together, and I’ll help
you to get some little place where
you can rest —and be at ease. Come!
Don’t wait for anything. That dread
ful chief inspector is off the premises
for the moment. Come along. Gil
lian!" She almost pulled the girl to
her feet. “I can t help you if you
won’t help yourself. Like heaven!
And I do want to help you. I’m
worry for you.”
Etta Naylor was talking in an odd
hurried splutter. As though haste
and some other emotion were both
At work.
Just for a second Gillian hesitated,
• look of something like wild hope
ghot across yr ~ features, then she
•hook her head aim wauk down again.
"I want to go by myself.” she re
peated. "I want to get away by my
self. To Brussels.”
Etta shook her.
“Gillian! Don’t boa fool! There’s
a chance now. Quick! Follow me!”
ghe herself rushed to the threshold,
but she was not followed. Gillian
kad risen, but was staring at her
with a white, distorted face, suspi
cion and terror in her eyes. Her
hand clutched the back of her chair
as though she were giddy, and over
hung an abyss.
"1 won’t stir.” she said finally.
There was something almost men
acing in the step towards her that
Etta took. Then she stopped. Mrs.
Burnham turned the handle and
came la. Oa her face waa a look

Read the above statement again. It seems strange. Yet
no truer words have ever been written. If all impurities were
eliminated from the soil, no man, no beast, no living thing,
could stay alive.

I So you see the importance of protecting yourself by speci

genuine Chilean. Both are natural. Both have the vital im

of surprise as she stared from one to
the other. Then she went to Gillian,
with a little cluck, naif-Impatient,
half-sympathetic.»
"1 said 1 wanted you U> talk to
her, not to scold her!”
"1 can’t stand people who shilly
shally.” Etta’s voice was of intense
anger, and she shot a look at Gillian
as though she could have struck her.
"You said she wanted lo get away.
She doesn’t. She refuses to budge
with me."
“I want to go away alone —to Brus
sels.” Gillian repeated dully.
“But she mustn’t gol She can’t
go!" Mrs. Burnham protested. "Etta,
why don’t you help to make her un
derstand. 1 can’t put it into words.
But if she goes now. the police may
think, will think ” She did not
finish the sentence.
“We all know what the police are,”
Etta agreed. “Nothing but red tape
and routine. Even that clever look
ing chief inspector talks of routine.
It’s in their blood. Os course, Brus
sels is out of the question, but if
Gillian and I go now. together, at
once, we shall be far away in some
quiet nook before they know it. And
then, it’ll be too late to find us.”
Mrs. Burnham shok her head.
"But I don’t think she ought to
go.” she murmured helplessly. “I
don’t think Gillian, won’t you
be sensible and stay on here—just
for a little while with me. until all
this sadness lifts—for you. I know
it’s terrible just new. But we must
bear things sometimes for others.
Won’t you stay?”
She looked pleadingly down tnto
Gillian’s face. The girl did not lift
her head.
“I want to go—to Brussels, if pos
sible. but at any rate, I want to leave
here,” she repeated like an autom
aton.
Etta spoke up briskly.
“Then let me have my way, Lucy.
I think she ought to go. if she feels
like that. I’ll take her to —but no.
better not tell you. At any rate, it’s
somewhere where she’ll be quite
quiet. I’ll put my tilings on.” She
hurried off. First she went back to
the room where her brother still
stood. He did not seem to have
moved since she had left him.
"Claud, I want £SO. Can you let
me have it. and in pound notes?"
“For what reason?”
"In strict confidence. I’m going to
take Gillian Dundas for a rest cure
before she breaks down. She’s very
near it.” f
Still Claud did not stir. Thjen
swiftly he came very close and spoke
in a low, level voice.
“I can give you tlie £SO In a mo
ment, but to hand to her to use. You
yourself are to have nothing to do
HERflßi’iSgm, XT?; CJ DAILY DISPATCH, THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1934 '
with Miss Dundas, Etta. Nsithei to
help nor to hinder.”
“My dear Claud 1 How like the
legal mind 1 But h inasmuch, ao4
forasnracn as I am sorry for her, t
certainly shall try and help her."
“This Is no case where you should
help," he went on harshly. “Leave
Miss Dundas alone, Etta. I’m the
head of the family, now poor John’s
gone, and I warn you most seriously
to have nothing whatever to do with
her. I know what I’m saying, and
why I’m saying it-” He spoke
solemnly. For a moment she stood
as though trying to read his tone and
manner more than his words. Then
she shook her head. Without an
other word, he let her have the notes
from his bureau.
“Thank you. Claud. I wish you’d
be frank —I haven’t time now,
but ”
He turned away, bleakly but defi
nitely.
Upstairs she found a white-faced
but more collected Gillian just pull
ing her hat on.
“My bag ”
“You can’t take a bag. Come as
you are. Remember, we’re off to
Selfridge’s florist department at
once.”
“But. my dear.” protested Mrs.
Burnham, looking harassed and up
set. "you can’t! You mustn’t! Gil
lian. I won’t allow it! Why should
you act as though you were deaf to
everything I say to you? After all.
I am your employer. I’m responsible
for you ”
“Not now!” laughed Etta, a
curious triumphant laugh. “She’s
my companion now.”
“I want to get away,” was all Gil
lian said, in a thick, choked voice.
Mrs. Burnham made a gesture of
surrender, and went to her writing
table.
“You must have money.” But Etta
would not wait. She fairly dragged
Gillian after her out of the room. A
maid on the stairs stepped back to
the landing to let them pass.
“Do you want one of the cars, 1
miss?”
But Etta told her that she and
Miss Dundas would walk. “It’s only;
to Selfridge’s for some flowers.” she
added in a tone that the man on
duty in the hall below could hear.
“And certainly that’s the truth,”
‘she added to her companion when
they stood outside. Gillian seemed
to shrink away from her. She shot a
strange, swift look up and down the
street as though meditating taking
to her heels.
Etta instantly laid a very firm
hand on her arm. A very tight grip
indeed.
“Now, don’t do anything foolish " ‘

students of the class still survive.
Among these are George Gordon Bat
tle, the noted New York attorney;
Judge Heriot Clarkkson, of the State
Supreme Court; Judge T. J. Shaw, of
Greensboro; and Dr. M # C. Millender,
of Asheville.
Among those who have been invit
ed by 50-year class to celebrate its
reunion at Commencement is William
Gaston Candler, of Candler, oldest
University alumnus, who celebrated
April 15 his 100th birthday.
Dr {Alexander Graham, father
