Oeorgle tayt lit tie about Townsend, and Kill not promise to marry him, for if the marrtet the lotet a valuable Job. While dancing vith Jenny, Vale tells her that Aveney mutt have teen Oeornie someu here, thovph he said he hadn't tthen he asked Vale to arrange the party. Chapter t COLD MOONLIGHT " OHD, yon can dance!" enthused Jenny's partner, somewhat to her aurprlie; tor the felt heavy Urabed and out of beat with the .piusic "Why don't yon so in for idancing? Like me to get you a trial at the Regal? They want girls there tor their new revue." "I'm afraid Georgia woulda't !et me. She doesn't think I could stand that sort of life. And she's so won derfully kind; she's fed me and llothed me. But" .-a.- sound as though Oenrgle'i jiilly were a grudging thing. Ant i p. wasn't that. Never lb sc. ' "! should like to give you a birth I cay party." He let little, swaylni pauses creep bolween tbetr steps I as though bis fancy baited In Hi galL "I think there should be s tree a very straight, dark, greet tree standing in a clearing in a forest with twenty-four silver can dles on it And at the foot then, would ba twenty-four parcels ties with silver string, each holdini something very delicate and rare Except one wblch would be bulk and sensible a white fur coat t keep you sheltered from the snow." "Snow?" In August?" He met her eyes for the first time since that long look at table. "I suppose not No. Perhaps th white glitter would be moonlight, not snow. Very cold, very eleai moonlight The absorbed. Intent look darkened his eyes and then waa gone. His glance left her and went over his shoulder they had been round the room and here waa the table again. Garth Aveney con templated Georgle, lazily gorgeous against a loep blue curtain and panel of old gold. "sunlight and moonlight," he said, as though to himself. With as little ceremony as he had swung her Into the dance he now half-guld- "An urgent massage, madam." "Amused herself by making a doll of you, what?" "Nothing of the kind." denied ! Jenny coldly. Selfishness was not a motive she allowed anybody to Im pute to Georgle; not even herself. 8be disliked Ryder the more for merely grinning at her instead of apologising. Tha dance was over, was being encored, jenny Ignored the encore. .Their table was only a couple of yards away and she went towards it Behind ber the whisper of the dance began afresh, humming and lifting. She raised her bead and saw Aveney getting to his feeL She thought It a mere eourtesy but he stepped down on to the dano-lng-floor and she presumed he was going to dance with Georgle. He oame close to Jenny, put an arm - round her and danced her way. She was so surprised that by the time ahe found worda her feet had taken her half round the floor and then it soemed too late to protest. "Don't you want to dance with me?" he asked. Tes, answered her heart oh, Terr much I want to dance with you. No, flashed her pride, no, I'm not to be treated like this, first neglected and then remembered as boring duty. ... "Don't you want to, Jenny Re Tell?" She opened her lips to stammar something and then that hint of laughter hidden in him, some elu sive yet Intimate mocqutrlt, sent her blood faster through her reins and she said rather daacdly: "I don't think It matters, now, whether t wanted to or not!" But she knew that her running, hovering, eliding feet In their sliver shoes were giv ing her the lie. She was dancing now aa she bad never danced with Ryder Vale. "Not your kind of a birthday par ty at all." Ilia voice waa very quiet. "What kind of birthday party would you have liked It to be?" She waa dumb, the song In her heart saddened though lovely still. People who didn't really belong anywhere couldn't have birthday parties but she couldn't tell that to a man who had so openly fallen Into lore with Oeorgle; because it ed, half-lifted Jenny off the floor and Into her chair, Aftor what seemed a very long time but was apparently not ten seconds, Jenny discovered that she was eating the food placed for her during her absence and listening to someone saying to Georgle: "An urgent message, madam. Madam Is wanted at the house In Rochester Gate at once." "Say I'm on the way," returned Georgle. Jenny collected herself and looked up. She was used to these messages that might come at any hour and break up any gathering; but she knew GeorRle liked people to be sympathetic about them. "What bad luck, Georgle dear!" "Can't be helped, honey. This, Mr, Aveney. Is the dark side of tha 'Job you say you envy me. , , . Nothing you can do, thanks, unless you'll go and tell 'em to get me a taxi? Take care of Jenny, Ryder, won't you?" "I'd hoped we could all go on to the Crescendo. Is thore any chance of your Joining us?" Rydor asked. Can't say, of course, but I'll cer tainly go on there from Rochester Gate if there's any night left. But don't wait lrtnger than 12 Jenny needs her sleep. Bye-bye, and tha usual apologies and thanks!" A gleam of apricot and gold and she was gone. Jenny returned to her dinner. while Ryder Vale assured her and himself that the party might yet be saved. It was unlikely, he main tained, that Old Man Matching would start Georgle on a lengthy Job ao late In the evening as this. Jenny, knowing that her cousin mljht well And several hours' work awaiting her, murmured as hopeful ly aa she could. Only a part of her mind was listening to him, the rest was waiting for Garth Aveney; to come back. He would have to talk to her now that Georgle had gone. Sunlight and moonlight. But moonlight wasn't always cold oh, h wasn't! Unfair, unkind, to call it cold. (Copyright, iilla Cleft-Addamt) A pint agalnat Oaorala It hlntaS St In tha nkt Inatallmant.
