TIT 1 You Cant Marry by Julia Cleft-Addanu Ji&it'''l frsnrvlB: rrom the City Hall to tht Hospital: Georgia Retell marries Xitdle Townsend, and a tew minutes liter watches him taken away in an ambulance after he wrecks the car they or fit. She sends her cousin Jenny with htm whits the talks to the police, because she tntende to make people believe that Jenny married Eddie instead of herself. It Qratton Matching, her em ployer, heard of her marriage he would discharge her, and Oeorgle hopee to keep it secret. Jenny is attracted to Matchtng's nephew, OartH Aveney, but mlsunder . stands his manner toward Georgia and thinks he likes Georgia and not herself. Bhe has reluctantly agreed to let Georgie ni;oli-0 her In the marital deception, because Georgie has been very kind to her. Georgie arrives at the hospital, after a long delay, and Jenny asks her what she told thJ police man, ' Chapter 11 IN THE PAPERS '(X& I gave him our names of " course!" Carelessly Ooorgle led the way out Into the hall and Jenny coulj) not lee her lace; but ehe thought there was a suspicion of hurry In her voice aa aha chat tered on. "I phoned Rochester Gate, too, but the Old Man baan't wanted me; I said I'd be back by tour. We can just do It. I've got a taxi waiting." "A tail?" Jenny was at a losa, "But we we can't leave Eddie." "Of course we can!" "Without even asking how he la how much be Is hurt?" "You goose!" Georgle'a gloved fingers melted against her cheek. "I've been upstairs, talking to the head nurse and the doctor. While you went on sitting obediently where they'd put you, I made all arrangementa. II doesn't pay to wait till people remember you, yon know you do better to be a bit of a, nuisance sometimes!'' "But how It Eddie?" "Full of cuts and brulsea and a bit dazed oh yea, quite conscious, irery much alive; excited, In fact." Guiding Jenny Into the waiting taxi, Oeorgle giggled aoftly the giggle Jenny didn't like. "He waa 'talking loudly about getting back to 'my wlfe'e apartment' I heard him from the hall. Bo I slithered way before the nurse's curiosity overpowered her altogether. . . . Eddie's to Join us tomorrow. You'll aee, he'll be none the worse. Every thing will go according to my plan my plan after all!" Jenny waa silent. The taxi had moved oft and a cool wind was on her face. It seemed to be blowing right Into her heart. Bhe was con scious of Immense fatigue very near collapse a terrible longing to cry and cry. "I suppose I'm an alarmist," she admitted. Bhe tried to forget that glimpse of the Inquisitive clerk from the office dropping, with eara pricked, off his bus and mingling with the crowd on the pavement. Georgia had lit a cigarette and waa smoking It, rather fast All the amber gleams were dancing In bar eyea and under the rouge her eolor waa returning. "Don't worry, Jenl Yon know, I always have luck!" Evening again. Long shadows at the street-corners and, high up In a green-walled aky, the whit little moon. This time yesterday Jenny had bowed to that little moon. Bhe closed the hcuse-door behind her and turned left down Eyle Street. At a distant corner a boy waa crying the papers. "Get them on your way to your hotel, Jen ny" Georgie had commanded her, triumphantly brandlahlng those already brought upstalra by the superintendent "get any 1 haven't here, will you? and phone me If you find details given that aren't In these. There's not a word here beyond 'Ur. Eddie Toicntend, driv ing with friends.' I knew It'd be 11 right! I always have luck!" Jenny went elowly along the pavement Bhe waa almost limp ing; perhapa her feet had been bruised In the collision or perhapa aha waa now really ao tired that they almply would not obey her any more. A quite Interminable pavement, this, Jenny was sure aha had been walking along It for hours and yet the newsboy's corner waa not ap preciably nearer. Bhe stumbled, clutched at lamppost and atood still, afraid that she waa going to taint; or Just fall down and be too absolutely worn out to get tip again. Then a hand caught at her elbow and steadied her and a voice aald "Jenuy Jenny nevell " (or a moment, as she looked up at htm, yesterday and today merged In her tired mind. Mllll'a red-plush foyer was round her again; she stood In sliver and green and Jade with mu sic Bounding faintly; and, some where, Georgie waa laughing. .

The in tereet rate whs "not to exceed A per cent." The bonds are due In 10 equal dlvlalont, lt3 to 1V7. Salem Haircuts Going For 25 Cts. SALEM. June 9.

"I waa going to buy paper at tbe corner," she said. Garth Aveney still held her el bow. He shook It lightly. In the (ailing dusk It waa not possible to tell whether or not It waa laughter that waa lurking In his eyes. He drew her round so that she saw bis car drawn up at the curb. "Get in," he directed. "I'll take you to buy all the papers at all the corners In town if you'll tell me dia voloe roughened suddenly and she though she knew why. "Georgie has a very bad bruise," she said, "and a headache, but that's absolutely all. We've been wonderfully lucky. Even Eddie, who" Aveney laughed. It was an odd sound; amused, baffled, Impatient Jenny supposed that she should not have mentioned Eddie. Bhe slid Into the seat next to the driver'! and he took his place beside her, "Were toa hurt, Jenny?" "Oh no." "Frightened?" "Yes." Bhe admitted It with sting of tears In her eyes. It weakened her to lean back against these heavenly leather cushions and be aklmmed along the street that had seemed so long. Why, here was the corner already! Beck oning to the boy Aveney bought an armful of papers. "There's a whole bundle on the back aeat already I got them when I heard of the accident," he re marked. "But they gave so few de tails that I was racing alone to find out tor myself about you both." Tbe pause before the "both" was aa enigmatic aa his laugh. "Now 1 know there's no serloua damage done, will you come for a drive juat round the Park? "No." She atared down at the papers he had tossed on to her knees. No, repeated her heart and no and no. "What you meant to say," he sug gested gravely, "waa that you much regret you can't accept for thla eve ning but that aa It Is obviously go ing to be a very fine Sunday tomor row you will come picnicking with me anywhere In the country If I call for you punctually at ten. . . . That'a what you meant. Isn't It?" She shook her head. Tbe tears were rising In her throat No, she would not go. Why did he ask her? Because he had been so badly hurt by Georgie that he couldn't face a day alone. Why else? "No use for mo at all, Jenny Re vel!?" She waa silent; and It waa aa though all the street became silent with her. The newsboy had darted away round a corner and the noise of the traffic lulled and dropped; a radio was suddenly switched off In nearby house. It was as though someone had said to the world "Husht Listen! Listen to Jenny Revell, who Is going to say no'. ..." She looked up Into Garth Aveney'a eyes. She saw the color of them deepen and darken. She heard blm draw an uneven breath. "At ten, then," he aald aoftly. And now I'll take you back to your apartment D'you mind It 1 Just drop you there and go straight along? I'm supposed to bo dining with my uncle at eight and I aee lt'a quarter past already. And anyway I don't want to have to talk to your cousin tonight" Well, Georgie wouldnt have wanted him to talk to her tonight! Or tomorrow either or tor the next ten daya, when Eddie would hold all her thoughta. But one couldn't explain (that. It would be unkind. Besides Jenny put hand to her head it would be giving away the secret. She said timidly "Have you time to drive me to my hotel? It's Just round thla corner. I'm staying there; I'm not at the apartment now." "Is that where I call for you to morrow morning?" "Please." He nodded.
