Chapter 1
HIDDEN LAUGHTER
1ENNY felt color creeping Into her
face n4 added, goaded by shy
ness: "My name 1 Jenny RevelL" '
"Jennjr Rerell."
He repeated It softly. He was per
fectly grave, not even In hie voice'
was there any tremor of amusement.
But when he moved to meet Georgle
and Ryder Vale, now within a few
paces of them, Jenny was left with
the echo of laughter all about her
and with the aound of her own name
Infant, ftytier, nd don't dare to
treat her like a little girl."
Jenny's cheeks became warmer.
She wished to heaven Ueorgle
hadn't thought It necessary to say
that! Some men at the next table,
who had alroady given her quick,
appraising stares, stared again and
harder. Garth Aveney's long body
swayed around on his chair and he
met her unhappy gaze.
"Many happy returns," he said
negligently. Again she had the
sense of his bidden laughter. The
lights, dimmed to a soft rose, shone
upon bis eyes and she saw that they
were not gray or blue, but hazel,
Thoy held hers, searched them; let
them go. Shfi sat back wltb a pulse
pounding In ber throat and watched
him turn back to Georgle. Bui
Georitla wn gaily haranguing Ry
der. And, as though he snatched an
opportunity, the stranger leaned
again to Jenny.
"D'you like this kind of birthday
party?" be asked,
"No," said Jenny.
It had been Jolted out of her and
when he nodded and once more de
sorted her for Georgle she sat
aghast, desperately afraid tbat Ry
der Vale had heard her. But he had
not He looked, as always, self-satisfied;
the prosperous, rather stri
dent City man.
Either because of the silver dreet
"Looks like a stretcher
csso," Vale said.
mm
- tpoken softly,, as though It were &
long. ...
"Always prefer a party when
the host is unpunctual," Georgle
was announcing. "Gives the guests
at least a few minutes to enjoy
themselves." She laughed at the
tall man, who laughed back at her.
"Garth Aveney," said Vale, Intro
ducing him. And the four of them
moved Into the restaurant.
: yhenever Jenny went out wltb
Georgle and one or more of her
."stalwarts," as she called them, she
felt like a little girl Included In a
grown-up outing. Tonight she was
not actually at the tall of the pro
cession, tor Ryder was at her shoul
der, but she bad the sensation of
lagging slowly behind It. Over ber
bead Vale was teasing Georgle
about ber lateness and she, unheed
ing, was listening to something
Garth Aveney WuS telling ber. Jenny
sat rather bleakly down at the glit
tering little table that had Ryder's
same on It. While he became occu
pied with the waiter, she looked at
the man on her left
He was tall and slim and he sat
In the easy pose of tall, slim men,
with a hand on his hip and his long
legs carelessly disposed. He was
not tanned, but he had on out-of-door
look and there was a tinge of
blue In his very smooth black hair.
Jenny thought his eyes were blue,
too, until he glanced ber way and
then she thought they were gray.
She could ae that Georgle was
rather liking the look of blm.
And he, of course, was liking the
look of Georgle; that rich, generous
aplendor, that suggestion of the
peony In flower. Wonderful Georgia,
of course he wanted to monopolize
her. Many men did It was natu
ral. . . .
"I beg your pardon," stammered
Jenny.
"I asked you, Miss Cinderella,"
grinned Ryder, "whether your fairy
godmother will let you stay later
than twelve tonlghtt"
"You must ask Georgle," she said
yly, "She gave me this frock."
"People don't have a birthday
very day of 'heir lives," cried
Georgle, breaking oft her vivacious
Chatter. "Twenty-tour today Is tbat
or because It suited him to let his
otber two guests entertain each
other, he devoted himself to Jenny.
This, he Insisted, was her party.
Presontly, wlun ho had cajoled the
orchestra Into playing one of her
favorites, she found herself dancing
with him,
"Looks like a stretcher-case," ha
remarked, Jerking his bead towards
Garth Aveney's dark bead, still near
the reddish glenm of Georgle's.
"Time that Townsend chap turned
up agnln, what?"
"I don't think Georgle Is special
ly Intorested In Eddie Townsend,"
said Jenny mechanically. Georgle
bad told her long ago to stave oil
enquiries with this kind of thing.
An acknowledged engagement to
Eddie was the last thing Georgia
wanted.
"Seems not," admitted Ryder. He
puckered up his rather fat face Into
tbe grin that olwa. a made Jenny
think he was going to cry I "Odd
chap, Aveney evidently seen
Georgle before somewhere, though
he says not. Askeu me two or three
tlmea to arrange a party like this
so that he could meet her."
Jenny, telling herself that she was
not Interested, let her eyes wander
to the table where tho others eat.
There was a big mirror behind tt
and for a 'second she believed that
while he talked and listened to
Georgle, his eyes were upon the re
flected dancers, upon one dancing
silver figure moving In the mirror.
. . . She frowned the fancy out of
her mind. At that distance It could
only be her fancy. SUe said casual
ly: "Is he a great friend of yours?"
"Who, Aveney? No. Know noth
ing about him, really, though I've a
notion I ought to. Mot blm forget
where. He seemed keen to have a
drink wltb me, but that's explained
now." Again his bead and his grin
Indicated the table In the recess.
"Yes," said Jenny firmly. 8hs
thought It time lo be Arm with her
self. That softly spoken "Jenny
Revolt" ehe closed her ears and
tried to forget It.
(Cor-vrlgAt, Julia Clett-Aidams)
"Don't you went te dines with
meT" Oerth sake Jenny tomorrow.
Her heart and her pride bettle te
