Chapter 1
MISS LOYALTY
flITJIOUT pause, Oratton Match'
lag Belied a fountain-pen, signed
the statement wblch be had just de
clared Inaccurate (rom first word
to last, and rang one ot bis many
bells.
A door In a shadowed corner
opened and a man-servant came In.
He bad broad, slightly bent back,
next to no neck and dark balr grow
ing gray. Georgle, woo didn't like
him, always thought of blm ai a
mole. ,
"Take this to Townsend, the
pilot." The Old Man's gray claws
were surprisingly deft with
velope, was and seal. "Tell him to
get straight away with It- He has
his Instructions any speed that
doesn't break bis neck."
1 Oeorgle, rubbing the finger that
had been slapped, watcbed the valet
;take tbe packet and go. He walked
with a curious, soft glide that was
loot a shuffle. It looked slow but
actually it got him along with un
i usual speed. . . . She turned to dnd
Gratton Matching' stony eyes upon
jier.
"Have yon anything else tor me
tonight, sir?"
' "No. Hurt your linger! Here,
have some sweets."
I Sbe took tbe messy little bag he
rooted out, thanked blm and
dropped It Into ber overall pocket.
ilt lay against one he bad given her
a week ago when be bad thrown a
paper weight at ber, . . . He pulled
himself' blgher against bis pillows
and stared ber up and down. He
pointed at tbe gleam ot apricot el
Vet under the overall bem.
. "Where were you when I sent for
youT How many times have I told
you, you're to be where 1 can get
at you when 1 need you? What
about the salary you're getting!
What d'you tblnk ypu get It tort"
Keeping me waiting? Godding about
town with who were you with?"
"Mr. Ryder Vale and a Mr. Aveney
and my cousin."
"Male? Female?"
"Tbe girl wbo sbares my apart
meuu Oeorglna Kevell tbe same
name as mine. But she shortens It
to Jenny."
"1 don't want to bear about her
or her ridiculous name. I'm not con
cerned with your private affairs."
(Oeorgle's lips grew tighter In their
effort to suppress a smile.) "But 1
won't be kept waiting. 1 won't be
kept waltlngl Is that clear, Re
Tell? Is that clear?"
"Quite, sir. Good-night."
She turned away.
A familiar sound followed ber
tha muffled hum of the model
dynamos. Oratton Matching bad
switched them on and, twisted gro
tesquely, bis wig crooked, hung over
them. He was talking to them but
oot In bis dreadful falsetto.
"Pretty oh, very pretty Indeed."
It was a thin monotone that merged
Into the humming of the wheels.
"Reserve ot power there. And eco
nomical. And smooth. Smooth as
velveL Beautiful"
Ooorgle closed the door.
She took a deep breath. Thank
heavens, those estimates were set
tled and on their way. The Old Man
would be more bearable tomorrow
She hoped that Eddie wasn't break
ing any records, getting down to ths
air Held. He was a One Bier, an
Iron nerved "bird-man," whose fame
had spread, whose "luck" was a
by-word. But Oeorgle thought blm
abs put It bluntly rotten motor
IsL Whatever carried him, motor
cycle or car, he took Insane risks
with It.
Ooorgle, passing the-wlndow that
by daylight UUhla uppor hall, drew
aside Its tapestries and poered out.
A car was at tho door, an uncom
monly nice car, In so far as the
street-lights let her see it The Dg
ure at tbe wheel was Indistinct uutll
another car passed and Its bead
lights raked blm. Oarth Aveney.
She raised a half-amused eyebrow
and proceeded on her way. In the
bedroom permanently reserved for
her. she pulled off her overall Mk.
Ing up her face at the glass, she
pondered on the odd chances of life.

I was the only one ot the type that
I funny kid, Jenny, called "worth-
while." ... But Oeorgle was not a
nin ana ene got no great pleasure
out of tbe Infatuation ot a man wbo
meant notblng to her. She wished
sbe could tell blm straight out that
by this time tomorrow sbe would
be Eddie Townsend's wife.
That reminder of tomorrow swept
everybody but Eddie from ber mind.
She went Into ber working-room and
found the promised acrawl upon
tbe desk. "01(1 nail twelve tharp.
Will get lone ol car trom someone."
Poor old Ed, spelling was not his
strongest point! But what did that
matter? He didn't need to spell, be
hurtled along In the air or on the
earth, a big, simple, grinning,
greedy boyl Sbe thrilled to that.
Sbe understood It. Sbe was out
side tbe ruthless discipline of ber
Job like that herself,
Jenny knelt at tbe open window
and watcbed tbe opposite roof-tops
grow black and blacker as the
young moon slipped down tbe sky.
In a distant square a clock chimed.
Eleven? No, not yet, a quarter to.
Her birthday was nearly over.
She put ber forehead down on hei
cold, clasped hands and at once Pic
tures were painted against the dark
ness. A clearing in a foreBt full ot
moonlight, a straight green tree
with straight silver caudles on It.
. . She unclasped her hands and
moved them uutll they gripped ber
shoulders, bait expecting to feel
them burled In fur. White fur. But
ber shoulders were bare. And sbe
was a fool to kneel here spoiling tbe
wonderful gown.
There waa nothing was there?
to agonise about, just because a tall,
slim, bazel-eyed man bad tumbled
headlong Into love with Oeorgle and
didn't trouble to conceal It Even if
his love was hopeless and It would
be, tor Georgle really did care most
tor Eddie tbe elusive laughter
would not he banished forever from
the hazel eyea. He would forget
this mysterious, Incalculable Garth
Aveney would forget Oeorgle In
time; as completely as he had no
doubt by uow forgotten Oeorgle's lit
tle cousin Jenny.
Eleven o'clock. Wltb tbe last
chime came the sound of Georgle's
key In the front door and the sound
of ber voice; aud the sound of a
man's voice answering ber.
Jenny's face scorched suddenly in
the darkneBS ot the bedroom and
sbe stumbled to ber feet. When she
bad made a bad headache an excuse
not to go on to the Crescendo with
Ryder Vale, she bad thought that
sbe ueedn't see Uarlb Aveney again
tonight She had stupidly forgotten
that Oeorgle might bring blm here,
and she had forgotten, too, that If
Georgle didn't go on to tbe Crescen
do either, she wouldn't know that
Jenny had come home. .
The simplest thing, considered
Jenny, would be to undress very
quietly in tbe darkness and go to
bed. She groped for tbe Intricate
fastenings ot her new frock and at
last stepped out ot It and carried It
to ' the wardrobe. Tbe wardrobe
stood across trom the unused
double doors whlcb separated tbe
bedroom trom tbe living room and
aa ehe cautiously opened it she
heard, as though she herself were
In the living room, the click ot the
tolephone receiver dropped back
Into Its bracket and then Garth
Aveney'a voice.
Well, now you've done your
duty. You're phoned blm at ouce,
you've made your attitude abso
lutely clear. Now I want you to let
me tell you something else."
"There's really nothing you can
say. 1 told you I'd have to phone
him about you and I did. That fin
ishes the whole affair." Oeorgle
sounded very curt
"No, now I'm going to justlt my
self. 1 told him 1 would, ouce you'd
refused."
Jenny stepped back from the
wardrobe and swung Its door shut
so heavily that It slammed; she
foared that Oeorgle would hear
the noise and investigate It. But
Oeorgle, still In the living room.
was loudly exclaiming over some
thingher voice ringing out ot its
usual oriap warmth Into a shriller
tone that came to ber wben she was
IndlgnanL . . . Jenny assumed that
aba was Indignant because Oarth
Aveney waa trying to take her
away from Eddie. Presently Just
aa Jenny slid Into the little camp
bed that bad been put up tor her
alongside of Oeorgle's Oeorgle's
voice sounded In the kail and then
Aveney'a.
"Goodnight, Miss Loyalty," Ave
ney was saying, "I'm forgiven,
thon?"
