She opened the door and faced a
man whom she did not ImmodlalSlv

remembered. He was the doctor
who had given first aid to Eddie and
accompanied tllrh dud Jenny to the
hospital. ;
''Mrs, TAwnsend?" he asked. ; ,

proud of the indifference in her
voice.
Probably. But what 1 really
came about-, Mrs. Townsend. was to
havi a chat about your husband.
About Ills health. I'm afraid he's
going to bo a bit of an Invalid for a
while.
Georgie -lit .a cigarette. She
leaned rather heavily .against tho
back of a chair tiie deep leather
chair that she . had bought for
Eddie: , She Watched her spiral of
smoke as it curled up to the celling.
"Please go on," she requested.
"What Is the matter wltli poor old
Eddie, - beyond his cuts and
bruises?"
'"A good deal. First of all, ac
cording to Drilling tho hospital
ductori-Townsend'a nerves are In
a pretty bad way." .
"How d'you mean nerves? t
we never thought he had any!"
"Thai's . a mistake commonly
made about men of Townscnd's tem

tell ..you that they've no nerves,
when what they really mean Is that
they've no imagination. So long us
they're all right, they always will
be alt right, they think. They feci
sure of themselves. Once they've
crashed, their whole ncrvoti3 system
is affected."
"But Eddie never has crashed."
"He crashed this morning. In
that car."
Georgie sat down on the arm of
the leather chair. A very slippery
chair; It required an effort not to
sink right down into it.
"As soon as he'd recovered con
sciousness and been patched up a
bit, he said he must got hack to his
wife's apartment. The nurse's
couldn't keep him against his will,
of course, so they got a taxi arid put
him In It. He well, to ret to the

market was becalmed today. Prices
In the main were unable to make
I'slgnlflcnnt progress In either direc

the levels of 1024. Some leaders werb
up a point or so for it time, hut gains
were lost in the .last hour, as Isolated
weakness cropped out In some of t.ho
food group. The closing tone waa
barely steady, and turnover approxi
mated only half a million shares.
