‘lt’s not true that you’re going to
play the cornet in street, is it?"
Tony turned at i.h* abrupt question,
bisliking funerals, post-mortems and
long-drawn-out good-byes he had
been the first man to hurry from the
room and the restaurant It was
Sherwood who followed him into
Shaftesbury Avenue and tapped him
aharply on the arm.
"Its not true that you're going to
play a cornet in the street, is it!“
“Ob, hullo, Teddy,” he sang out,
flashing the well-known smile. “How
toes it, old son?”
“That d>cza’t matter. I want f’t
answer to my question.” -
“Oi course it’s true,” said Tor.y.
“And if I hadn’t learned to play the
good old cornet while 1 was hangin’
about tho hospital in T7, I should
now be signing cn with a little gang
of burglars who are very good
friends of mine. As a single man, 1
should have enjoyed that sort of out
door sport enormously, but, y’see,
Chrissie’s been brought up on rather
narrow lines and so—” He waved
•the thing away with a half-regretful
eloquence.
Ah expression of horror spread
over Sherwood’s ill-assorted features
and the ugly scar on his left cheek
bone, an everlasting memento of
Contalmaison, turned a dull red. As
.the man who had, as he considered,
stolen Chrissie, he hated Tony in the
selfpnnishing manner of a religious
fanatic who makes an all-day-long
ecstasy of his detestation of the
ideviL As the officer under whom
he had served for several years, he
admired and respected him for his
humanity and imagination, efficiency
and courage to the extent of hero
worship. Regarding him at that mo
ment, as he had had no difficulty in
doing while on active service, not as
Tony, the pre-war rotter, the loose
fish and glib cadger of peace times,
hut as Wing Commander Stirling-
Fortescue, the finest officer in the
R. A. F., he was shocked and ap
palled at the idea of his falling from
nis dizzy height to the ignominy of
a street musician. *
“Look here,” he said, trying to
keep his place at Tony’s side, as they
dodged through the people who
poured out of the theatres into Picca
dilly Circus, “I can’t stand it There
must be something else that you can
do.”
“What, for instance, with Army,
Navy and Air Force all lined tip for
jobs?” Quaint old thing, Teddy.
What, after all, did it matter to him?
"Can't you go to the Earl of Stir
ling and get him to wangle you
something?”
Tony laughed. "My dear old man,
my brother, like my- father before
him, is a most exemplary person. He
wouldn’t touch me with the end of
• six-foot pole.”
“Why? Doesn’t he know your re
cord in the R. A. F.?"
The question was not answered.
Tony’s attention was draw* awhy
from _ Sherwood’s nagging cross
examination by a sight that stopped
his heart. Tilted against a wall like
* sack of potatoes was an ex-soldier
without his arms and legs. A greasy
cap gaped hungrily at passers-by,
and two arresting eyes in a young
and well-cut face asked with hitter
-sarcasm for charity. Tony’s silver
coin, but better still his quick salute,
won a smile of gratitude that must
have made the pen of the recording
angel tremble in her hand.
Sherwood’s aim was bad. His cor 6
hit the wall and rolled among tire
.eet of hurrying people. A woman
stopped it, picked it up, and having
seen the actions of the two officers,
dropped it in the cap, adding six
pence of her own. The incident camp
under the notice of others, one! or
two of whom, with a certain sbw-pish
ness, followed the example ]#. the
woman who had held them up by
her sudden scramble. The rest, cast
ing a callous glance at what had long
become a familiar and even tiresome
sight, passed on. - ■
cellent little fellow’s loyalty and
friendship.
"11l make a place for you in the
advertising department of my head,
office and pay you five hundred a'
year.”
“My God, Teddy V he said, putting
his arm round Sherwood’s muscular
shoulders in his winning way, “what
the dickens can I say to that?”
“Nothing. Just take the job and
carry on. That’s all you’re asked to
do.’’
He didn’t want to be tussed over
by this man. Nor did he want to be
.oucked, which made hkr shudder.!
!n making this offer, he wa| not at
tempting to do something in a round
about way for Chrissie, who was al
ways in his thoughts,—deeply, wholly
and rather terribly loved. His one
desire was to put his late chief into
dignified work on a living wage as
a tribute to his gallantry. That was
all. And having done that, he could
c.atinue to hate with all his curious
soul as he was damned well going
to do.
All this was perfectly clear to
Tony. His uncanny knowledge of
human nature, greatly euchanced by
his close association with so many
men under the primeval influence:,
of war, made it easy for him to see
the workings of Teddy Sherwood's
elemental mind. Being in uniform
and not yet having fallen back into
his pre-war carelessness, the self
respect that he had acquired offered
a barrier against the acceptance of
what was obviously a charitable act.
If he had lost his arms and legs like
that poor devil propped against tne
wall, he would, with Chrissie to
keep, have been forced thankfully to
live on Sherwood’s coins. As it was
his ruck had held and he was sound
in wind and limb. What might
happen in the future to weaken his
war-acquired morale who could tell.
In his present mood he shied at 'he
idea of taking Sherwood's money
home to pay for Chrissie’s bread. He
would do ’.hat job himscli and start
the new life dean.
So he said, “It’s foolish for me to
attempt to thank you for what you
want to do. But you know me. I
could no more knuckle down to the
pent-up routine of an office than be
a parson. Your manager would give
me the order of the boot before the
end of my first week. Besides, I’m
signed up to the joker who runs the
band and I'm joining up to-morrow,
So there it is.”
"You mean that?"
“Yes, old boy, I mean it, though
I’m enormously grateful to you for
your kindness.”
“You prefer to blow a cursed cor
net and rattle a box in. the face of
people who want to forget the war
to honest work in a decent ottice?
Yout" He was not thinking of the
tall, slight, graceful man in front of
him as the son of an Earl when he
shot out this shrill incredulous
question, but as Wing Commander
Stirling-Fortescue, whose deplorable
career had been brought to an end
by a war for Which he had been bom,
who had been raised out of the gutter
and put on his feet by the kind of
work for which he had had the same
vocation as writing is to somf men,
the Church, surgery, or discovering
the South Pole to other 3; who
couldn't have been so excellent in the
air if he had been any good on
earth.
“Oddly enough, I do.” said Tony,
"Thanks very much, all the same"
“God Almighty,” cried Sherwood,
and after a pause during which he
found it utterty impossible to find
words suitable- to express his disgust,
irritation and grief, flung up his
hands, turned on his heels and dived
into the crowd headfirst.
HI
Whereupon, eager to join up again i
with Chrissie, from whom, except 1
for occasional week-ends, he had \
been separated during the period of
the war, Tony turned his face to'
wards—where? Home? That hardly
seemed the right word for those two
dingy little rooms that he hqd taken
that morning in the shabbiest of the
houses in Paitton Street, — rooms
which once had belonged to a young
actor whose last part had been finely
played in the forward sweep of the
Allied armies and which were fur
nished with an odd assortment of bits
and pieces resulting from his various
engagements upon the London stage.
They were, however, the best that
Tony could afford, having saved no
more than fifty pqunds from his pay.
and he was thankful to have found
them unoccupied. How long he
would be able to hold them on what
he might earn as a performer on the
cursed comet was'the new problem
to be faced. The old optimism which
had carried him through the daily
adventure of pre-war times still
bubbled in his vein* and the Mi
rawber spirit of waiting hopefully
for something to turn tip was more
alive in him than ever. He was not
worried about Chrissie. He never
