"You'd have to talk to Dalllng about that, but I don't Imiglne he'll see any sense In keeping tbo poor chap there for long. It's not a suit able place for a nerve-case, you see, anyway." He hesitated and again Georgia's Intuition warned her of a trap being prepared. "By tbe way," he went on, "Is your cousin's mar riage to Townsend a secret?" "Why should It be?" "Because while we were waiting for that ambulance I was wonder ing Idly whether either of you were married; and I noticed that your cousin wasn't wearing a wedding ring. Doctors do notice such things, you know. . . . I'll push off now. Miss Revell, and tell Mrs. Townsend how I wish I could have brought bet ter news. Don't trouble to see me out. Goodbye."

"Is your ooualn'e marriage to Townsend a secret?" he asked. . siren a sleeDlnar-draua-ht and nn doubt he'll gat over tbls particular phase of terror. But Dalllng thought It only fair to warn you that he won t be fit to fly again tor a lona time. If ever. ... 1 was coming up 10 town, so 1 said I d call." There was a Inner. H manful nam Oeorgle put out her cigarette. rresentiy sue heard her own voice. 11 was snnu ana a little roughened "It's bad luck. Isn't It? On on nis wedding day." Another pause. She forced her self to look up. The doctor's calcu lating, 100-iamlllar glance was wan dering round tbe room, taking In the new , leather chair, the new phonograph, the elaborate radio. "It's good of you to have both ered to look In." Her voles wan mill little uneven but she spoke very alowly and carefully. "I'm extreme ly grateful and and Eddie's wife win De grateful; when she has got over the shock ot hearing about Kddle." "His wife?" The doctor aban doned his scrutiny of the rnom. Ha. too, seemed to speak very slowly ana caremny. Then you are not Mrs. Townsend? I've made a mis take?" Oeorgle moistened her Hps. "Yes, you've made a mistake," she aald. "It waa my cousin tbe other Miss Rovell that Eddie Townsend married." "The young lady who went with him and me In the ambulance?'-' Oeorgle nodded. Her lips felt very stiff; they were steadily smil ing. "1 ought to have told you at , eoce," ehe added, "but I thought It might be better If I were the flrat to bear any bad news tbere might be. Jenny la well, she's very Inex perienced. Very easily alarmed." She aat stralghter on the big chair. Her voice was becoming more natural with every word. But he wished the man would not stare at her ao keenly. He looked as : though he were setting some trap. Why ehould he, though? What were her affairs to him? "Where la Mrs. Townsend? May I see her?" "She's not here Just now. She's at the hotel where where she ex pects Eddie to Join her tomorrow." She gave the new curtain material a little push with her tooL Then ahe got up, slowly. "1 was Just put ting the finishing touches to this had been wearing glovesl Or 01 bad she taken them off when she and this doctor-man tore her silk cape Into .'.zips to bandage Eddie's bead? "Doctors do notice these things, you know." Furious indignation mounted In her. The -cad, coming here to spy on her and bait hor and walking off without oven telling her his beastly name! Deliberately, she whipped up her anger. So lone aa aha was anerv. she could nretend that aha waa nnt afraid. She could keep fear at the nack of ner mind ... The anger fell from her. Better face tlilnars. She wmiM nnt at twenty-eight have been private sec retary to Orattnn Matnhlna- at a anl. ary of five thousand a vear. If aha hadn't always faced things. Eddies marrlaae was nnhllr, knowledge. It waa reported In the Record already. The Old Man read the Record. Anyway, all the papers would have It tomorrow. She must tell him. of course, that the Miss Revell mentioned was Jenny. Jenny had already consent ed to that manoeuvre. It necessary. Loyal little aoul, Jennyl suppose the Old Man didn't be. Here It? It he didn't believe It. ha tennis dismiss her. Ha would nnt Amnlnv a married woman worker. She would get a month's salary and she would go. A month's aalarv wntiMn't A more than pay her bank-overdraft. What about all the rest ot the bills? What about the trousseau? Eddie's savlnaa ware there hut they would not sunnort tha tan nt them for very long. They would not even support Eddie alone for very long. And who was to know, who was to say how lona Eddie mnat. somehow, be supported? one nung up her chin. Take events by the throat, alwaya the best wayl She went to tha 'nhnna and got the number ot the house In Rochester Gate. "Revell speaklna." aba M mechanically. Thla waa the signal for her to be awltched through to the Old Man, In whichever room he might be. She waited tensely tor the first grating rasp of hla "Well, what d'you want?" But (CopvHaM Julia Clett-Jiddame) But another voice enewere, to ner eurprlte. Oeorgle etarte her attempt, tomorrow, te convince Matching aha la not married. SAYS WAR LIKELY WKST POINT, N. J..
