TAILSPIN TOMMY The "Padmini" Changes Hands Again!
Can't Marry
I You
BYNOFBIS! Jenny Kevell over
heart a conversation between her
cousin Oeorgle and Uarth Aveney
which eht bellevee retert to
Georgle't eeoret engagement to
Bddte Toumsend. She It unhap
py, because ehe liked Aveney
when ehe first met him that eve
ning, ami he teemt to prefer
Oeorgle- Unknown to Jenny. '
Aveney hae been testing out
Oeorgle't loyalty to her employer
Oration Hatching, She hae an
unusual lob, complicated by
iinohlng't eccentrio regulations
euch as hie threat of discharging
any woman In hit employ who
marrtee. fieorgte has promised to
marry Bddle tomorrow, eince he
agrees to keep the marriage secret
to that ehe can go on with her
work, which pays very well. She
hat made plant tor the marriage
which call tor Jenntt coopera
tion. Undiscovered in the next
room, Jenny heart Aveney toy to
Oeorgle. Mf'm going to lustily
myself. And then. "Good night
Hut Loyalty. I'm forgiven then!
Cbsptei t
DEAD SECRET
IS'POSB to. I'm find you feel
ashamed of jrourielt, though,"
Georgia was saying to Aveney.
"1 doD't know that 1 feel
ashamed exactly. After all, yon
agree that I wasn't given any
choice. But you've been magnifi
cent. He ought to thank bla sun
for you," Jenny heard Aveney an
swer. "He won't Takes me for. grant
ad. Goodnight."
Jenny burrowed down Into her
pillows. "He." she bad no doubt,
waa Eddie. And Garth Aveney
was quite right, Eddie ought to
thaok his stara for his splendid
Georgia. He probably did. Jenny
really couldn't agree that be took
Georgle one scrap for granted. And
now Gartb Aveney, dismissed,
empty-handed, was driving alone
through the gleaming street. He
would not carry even the abadow
of laughter, now.
The cool linen comforted Jenny'a
aching eyes. It waa not that ehe
waa crying oh, no, not that; only
only It waa bitter bard to care
so much tor someone who, whether
she wanted him or not, - was
, Georgle's.
"Jenny!" ,
Georgle had clicked on tbe light
. and atood amased Id tbe doorway
Jenny struggled up.
"I bad a headache, Georgle, and
I felt 1 couldn't face the Crescendo,
' io I came atralgbt home. Mr, Vale
' didn't mind a bit; aome friends of
' his, stage-people, were going on
ther and be Joined them. Any
' way. It waa no fun for blm once
you and Mr. Aveney couldn't stay."
'Avenevl"
Georgia laughed. She sounded
pleased, discomfited, amused all In
one. She came and sat on tbe edge
of the bed.
"Gartb Aveney brought me back
from Rochester Gate 1 didn't feel
like the Crescendo, either,"
"Mr, Aveney Is awfully Interest
ed In you. Isn't bet" It waa what
Jenny had determined not to say;
and she bad asld It.
"Oh Aveney r repeated Georgle.
"He's a queer Dsn. But be'a a
good sport. I'll tell you all about
him one day." With that she
brushed blm out of the conversa
tion. "I've aometblng far more
thrilling to talk about now. Ed
and I are getting married, Jon, to
morrow. At mid-day. Ed'a flying
tonight, but ha aeema to think he
can be back In time. The cere
mony la to be kept a dead secret
but yon must come."
"Oh, Georglel Oh, I am so glad
you're marrying Ed, after till"
"But, you dear little fool, whom
else did 1 aver thUk of marrylngf
"As long aa no one actually spies
on ma during the next week, the
risk Isn't too terrible." Georgle con
tinued, and lit a cigarette. "After
that, wltb Ed away, I can alwaya
spin aome yarn any yarn. Even
" ehe giggled suddenly "that It
waa you Eddie married, not me!"
8he .sobered suddenly and aat
taring at her cousin.
"Infant, tbat'a rather an Ideal
The Old Man knows we share the
aame names. At a plncb 1 could
tell him but, of course, the plncb

Only If It did. well Eddla would
never know It, out there In Mexico.
And you wouldn't mind, would
your It wouldn't ssaka the faint
est difference to you? Would
It? . . . Well, would itr
"N-no," stammered Jenny. "No,
1 suppose I shouldn't mind."
Bhe was taken aback, tingling
with that sense of affront thut
Georgle could ao suddenly rouse
In her. How how dared Georgle
coarse-grained, reckless, success
ful bow dared she?
Then, on to the dark screen of
ber anger slid the outline of a tall
man walking away from ber with
out farewell; threading his path
eagerly round a crowded room to
pata out at a door through which
Georgle had gone, ...

"No- she said heavily, "li
wouldn't make tbe faintest differ
ence to me."
Old Gratton Matching took on
bla bedside telephone, gave the
number of bla general manager,
shook the Instrument viciously
when no voice Immediately an
awered him and, holding tbe ear
piece In position reabsorbed blm
self In bis model dynamos.
"Who's that?" he muttered ab
sently when at last tbe voice ol
Harold H. Croze came to blm.
"No, 1 dldo't ring you up- Tes, 1
did." His voice climbed to Its
nerve-racking squeak.
"Yes, 1 did, 1 wanted you to
know that my nephew, a complete
stranger to my secretary, tbla eve
ning offered ber (25,000 down,
$2,600 a year, bait her salary to
repeat the esr'matee that bave gone
by plane tonight. And ehe refused
and reported the bribe to me. . . .
Naturally be waa acting on my In
structions who else's? . . . Ton
didn't know ber salary waa so blghf
Let me tell you tbat unless she's
fool enough to get married, It'll be
half as high again before she's
done." His squeak became almost a
scream. "Only person who can hear
what 1 say. ..."
He threw aside tht telephone,
switched off the lamp and, fum
bling for a pear-drop, lay aucklng
contentedly In tbe darkness.
Jenny etrayed Into a park with
a gasp of gratitude. She had an
hour to wait before Georgle got
married; here was tbe place to
wait In. She aat down on a bench
and a tabby cat came and began to
sidle round ber. It was a fat,
friendly cat and Jenny hoped It
would not eoon go away; she
would have enticed It on to ber lap
but sba had on a clean voile frock.
Not by any means a "wedding-garment"
Oeorgle nad been emphatic
about the omission of wedding
garments. "If we can all three slip
In and especially out of the
City Hall without attracting atten
tion, we've a good chance of get
ting away with tbe whole scheme."
"Yes, I tan see that. I should
think so long aa Eddie Isn't recog
nized we shall manage all right
It'a afterwards, Georgle, when I'm
at tbe hotel, tbat your secret will
want such a lot tf keeping."
But Oeorgle had not admitted
tbat Tbe Janitor of the apart
ment could be squared heaps of
people, tf the worst came, could be
squared. When Jenny had Installed
ber belongings In the nicest room
she could find In the nearby hotel,
would she be a helpful pet and call
at an employment agency about a
really competent dally servant
and hang the expense? ... Of
course, Jenny would: and did. And
by one of those chances that do
occasionally happen, before sbe
bad even finished explaining "Mrs.
Townsend's" requirements to the
clerk, a cheery, capable-looking
woman came In who aeemed quite
pleased to be engaged to start work
next Monday.
So that Jenny, who had allowed
a full hour for this task, found her
self at a loose end. She didn't want
to go back to the hotel, which waa
stuffy; or to tbe apartment where
Georgia, an efficient whirlwind, waa
transforming tbelr tiny lumber
room Into a dressing-room for Ed
die. So she made a leisurely way
downtown.
Sitting now on her bench, Jenny
looked across the snapdragon-bed
and tried to Identify the building
from tbe back, , . . She saw a
man lower a green blind at a win
dow and thought that might well
be the room In which this furtive
wedding would take place..
Furtive! She caught her breath.
She had no right to call It that
Georgle couldn't ever do anything
furtive. If she and Eddie had
agreed that the Job at Matchlng'a
must be kept at any and every coat
and certainly It made a differ
ence tbat Eddie waa soon to go so
tar away and for a whole year-
Jenny, In a tangle, atopped harangu
ing herself.
A man a tall, allm-bullt man-
swung round the corner and came
past the snapdragooa. Jenny'a
finger under tbe tabby cat'a Imperi
ously lifted chin went rigid.
A mild olamor went up In her
heart will he see me will he stop
will he pass on? . , , And then.
like an axe hacking at the roots of
a budding tree, there pounded In
upon her tie knowledge that If
GeorgU's secret were to be kept,
Oartb Aveney must pass on his
way without seeing Georgle's
cousin there at all
