Qeorgie lovee her lob. her large ealary, and Eddie, and ehe intende to keep them all Since ehe and Jenny have the tame name ehe can tell Hatching that Jenny it the bride. Jenny ie more willing to agree to (icortiie'e plan, became ehe ie die' appointed and unhappy. Hhe ie deeply interested in Garth Aveney, whom the airle met the night be fore, but ehe bellevce he llkee Qeorgie. Shortly before Oeoryie'e eecret weddinn. Jenny meet ney and uondere how to escape from him. Chapter 10 SPLINTERED GLASS JENNY drew a lone breath and Aveney repeated softljr "Georgia found you." He wai (taring at the anapdragona m though they mes morlzed him; aa though they helped him to create the vision of Oeorgle strong compassionate, generoui Georgle finding ber. "And ihe's taken care of you ever since?" be asked presently. (How black bis hair was! Itaven black.) "Ever since. She heard of me through the lawyers, you see, and ehe spent heaps of time and money tracking me down. She's done abso lutely everything for me you can't Imagine how royally kind Georgle can he. She says she doesn't want me to go away ever." "Are you, thinking of going way?" Jenny hesitated. She had acci dentally let Vale Infer that Georgle Insisted on playing Lady Bountiful. She mustn't do that wltb Aveney. At the same time. It surely wasn't necessary to let him consider Georgle's cousin a helpless burden trapped to Georgle's back for ever and evermore? "Yes," she said Anally. "I am going away soon." His sudden, Intent, half-amused look was turned upon her. She couldn't meet It fully. Her head began sharply to ache and then her heart was aching,, too, and aha had an appalling fear that she was going to cry. . . . She consulted ber wrist watch. Georgle's gift. "1 think 1 ought to go. It's ten minutes to twelve." She rose, and a he rose with her, she realised how awkward it would be It ha sug gested The next moment he had sug gested It. "May I come with you? Perhaps you and Miss Ravell would lunch wltb me. There's very de cent little place near here." "I'm afraid we can't." "Can't lunch?" .lenny bit ber lip. It was loath ome, having to evade him. She determined that s'he wouldn't He at the most she would leave gaps. "Georgle and I are lunching with a friend of ours," she said. "We're meeting him In a few minutes." Then she envisaged chance en counter. "It's Mr. Townsend, the airman," aha added. "Oh, Townsend I That's the chap I Just met. He took those he's Just got back from bis trip." She nodded. His manner waa amused, almost mischievous; she had the Impression that ha expected her to say what? Something about Eddie's flight Whatever It Was, she had no clue to It , . . She began to walk towards the street. Far above them, graceful as gulls tt sea, two biplanes swept out upon the uncharted ways of the air. Jenny watched their passage across the nearer sky. "You want me to clear out, don't you, honestly?" demanded Garth Aveney. Startled, she said "Yea." "I mean," aba amended confused ly, "Georgia will be awfully sorry we can't lunch. Perhaps soma other day only I'm afraid she'a so often booked up." A clock chimed twelve. Aa she took to her heels and ran, aha dis tinctly heard blra laugh; but ha did got follow her. "Get In, girls!" nrged Eddie. "Sit In front, Jenny." Georgle's voice was pitched low. She gave Jenny little push toward tl seat next to Eddie and herself laid a hand upon the rear door of the bat tered old car. "Hurry, pet I Some people are staring already." Jenny took an obedient step In Eddie's wake and then halted. There waa taint whisper In her memory something that Georgle had suggested last night, something that bad been embarrassing, In poor taste she could only half remem ber It; but whatever It was, It brought her to a halt on the baking pavement "I'd rather sit with you," ha said and clambered Into the back of the car with Ueorgle. Georgia nusuud, began to se something but tell silent She was fidgeting with her glove, the glove that covered the bright new ring. Jenny's mind was still running on the rather dreary ceremony during wblcb Eddie had placed the ring there. The second witness had been a mechanic brought by Eddie and sworn to secrecy. Jenny bad liked his frank, cheerful face and had se cretly agreed with him when, after wishing Georgle happiness, he add ed to the company In general "Though It don't icem like a wed ding at all!" "It that traffic doesn't move In two seconds and let us get away, I shall climb out again and walk!" an nounced Georgle. She sounded ner vous and ber eyes were slipping sidelong to the Idlers on the side walk, most of whom had watched the little party come out of the building. In the doorway was youth Jenny recognized aa one of the clerks. He was evidently on hla way to lunch. He stood Idly staring, bis eyes on Eddie. "Look out!" said Georgle sharply. The traffic-block was breaking and Eddie bad let In his clucth. None too gently the car lurched forward so suddenly that. In spite of Georgle'a warning, Jonny was jerked nearly out of ber seat Part of Eddie's opinion of automobiles In a congested street floated back to her. "He's tired," said Georgle apolo getically. "A long flight and a wed ding, all In about 14 boura, Is no Joke. ... I wish ha hadn't borrowed thla car he Isn't used to her." Jenny had been coming to tbe same conclusion. Eddie had stalled his engine, started her up again, braked sharply to avoid a boy and was now wrestling with the gears. Jenny noticed wltb secret amuse ment that the clerk, on foot and still staring, had drawn abreast of them on the pavement ... At laat! Challenging all the known laws of time and space, Eddie hurled the car round a corner into a wider street He yelled a war-cry and stepped on the gas. It crossed Jen ny's mlud that Eddie bad fortified himself against bis fatigue In Ed die's approved fashion. "Sure this Is the way?" shrieked Georgle. Eddie only drove faster. "Where are we supposed to be going?" gasped Jenny, clutching her bat "Out of town for a late lunch and then back to the apartment tor an even later tea. . . . He's going too fast!" The long street was flashing by. Jenny gasped again, tore off her hat and clung to the car-side Instead. "Ho's going too fast," repeated Georgle and through the rush of their speed Jonny heard alarm and anger In her voice. "Eddie, you fool, ease up!" Jenny felt' quite sure that there was an Important crossing at the bottom of this street She had keen, long sight and she bad very dis tantly, seen a bus cross the end of the vista. . , , Now surely Eddie should be braking down for tbe cor ner? But Eddie was not braking apparently he couldn't find or couldn't manage the brake Goorgle's scream and the splinter of glass and the thunder of the sec ond bus as they went buckling and splintering Into It all came to gether In Jenny's ears. They made a great blare that was followed by a greater silence. After that, the whole world seemed full of people running. Running towards nor. "That's done It, absolutely," said Georgle's voice, coming apparently from nowhere. "There won't be an evening paper that won't tell the Old Man all about us. Good-bye to my Job!" Very slowly Jeuny moved and, as It were, woke up. She was still clutching the side of tbe car, atlll sitting on the back seat In the left hand corner, by a miracle quite un hurt Now that the Impact was over, she felt almost ordinary. The extraordinary things were happen ing; but not to ber. For Instance, Georgle waa drag ging herself oft the floor, a red mark ovor one eye and her hat torn from her head. And Eddie she took a full minute to understand that all those people on the further side of the road must he kneeling and standing round Eddie. Eddie, she supposed, bad gone clean through the wind-shield. Not so very clean. The few remaining Jags of glass were smeared with red. The sight galvanised Jenny. She clambered over Georgle and out of what bad been the rear of tbe car and dived at the group on the pave ment Ehe pushed and pulled them aside and there was Eddie. Flat on hla back; a man bending over him; a great deal of blood. (Copyrlvftl. Julia Clett-Addamt) "It he deadt" la the first qutl tlon heard, tomarraw. TAILSPIN TOMMY May Be Fate At That!
