THE GHOST Of
WALTER PARRY
CONTINUED IRON PAGE THREE

The bishop put me to work IN
the lemon orchard; l learned the
business and made some money.
He pointed to the little pile OF
gold on the table. The banker wait
ed. 1T was good working in those
hot fields. But there was the ghost.
I've come back to settle"
"As told you," the banker in
terrupted impatiently, that affair
has been settled"
Il don't mean just the money
Parry explained. 1T will take years,
know. for that will 90 to pris-
on-anything you want"
"Oh, we don't do things that way,
the banker replied. I'VE don't want
to reopen your case. Your wife's
people came forward, you know,
and made good our loss shortly after
you disappeared. VThe enatter is
closed" he concluded with a wave
of his hand.
Parry's brave face sank at the
irony of the remark
so | cant pay-even this?' he
asked slowly, pointing to the gold.
I'VE don't want your money" the
banker replied, scraping his throat.
You'll have to settle the account
with the Grandports" Then after
moment he added partly to him
self, And | guess they would rather
regard it as closed, too-for your
wifes sake"
where is my wife," Parry asked
after a minute of hesitation.
Living with her mother, the last
heard
81 must go there, then, Parry said
abruptly, rising.
Il don't know as | should do that, 50
the banker remarked.
Parry interrogated him with hun
cry eyes.
'To speak frankly, Parry, you
might do more harm than good by
turning up in this way. You see, that
from a practical point this return
of the prodigal causes a lot of trou-
BILE. When man goes down in life
he pulls others down with him, usu-
ally, as in your case. Now if the
others manage to get on their feet.
it might be better for them if the
guilty party never turned up"
The man across the desk WINGED
and flushed under his tan.
You mean that my wife and chill
dren would be better off if-they be-
lieved | had died somewhere and
would never come back"
The banker nodded. Parry walked
across the silent office. Outside there
was the click Of typewriters, the
hum of business, and from the
street a roar-it had been the at
mosphere of his life, which he had
breathed for many years. 1t was
his shell to which he had come back
the shell that held his ghost,
"You must start over somewhere
else, make a new life for yourself,
Parry"
so l am wiped off the slate
The mud l raised here has settled
down." Then with more fire than
he had hitherto shown:
You think / am a miserable
weak, fool, so it makes little differ
ence what becomes of me as long
as l don't trouble others. had my
chance and showed what | was
worth-couldn't play the game ac-
cording to rules, and was kicked
out! And the best thing | can do is
to take my miserable self where
l won't disturb those who can play
the game better than / did. You
don't even want my money. Per-
haps YOU are right. But that is not
ALL"
His brown hand curled up into a
hard ball.
This game here of yours is not
for me. I didn't fit in Mavhe that's
