When the oar in which Eddie wa$ driving the girle woe wrecked, the doctor who amined him noticed Jenny wae wearing no uietidltio ring. He eomee to Oeorgte, and trlee to find out which girl ij Hire. Towneend. Qcorgle ie eure Jenny will lie for her.1 Hhe does not know that Jen ny it unhappy because Oarth Aveney, the nephew ot Oeorgte' employer, has seemed attracted to Oeorgte, Jenny hae promised to go into the country tor a day' ride with Aveney, although she doe not realise that he really like her. Oeorjie telephone her employer, to learn il h ha heard of the marriage. Chapter 15 GEORQIE'8 TRUMP CARD 'fOOD EVENING, Mla Loyal- tvl" came the cool Tolce ol Garth Aveney. "Oh It's you, li It, you hired as sassin?" With an effort Georgia threw flippancy Into her tone. "Put me through to my chiof, will you, Jilease?" "You'll have to wait, I'm afraid. HU doctor la with him. He had 6 Blight attack after dinner. . , , No, he didn't eat too much, be aaw some thing In an evening paper that upset him." Oeorgle leapt at her opportunity. "Something about me?" "I gathered ao. At any rate, he wa removed raving about the Im posslbllty of ever replacing you." "He needn't worry. That report In the Record, wasn't It? Is bout my cousin Jenny. She and 1 have exactly the same name, you see. Will you tell him, please?" There was no answer. She frowned, biting her Hp. "Hollo" "Sorry I" came Aveney voice. Tm just trying to get the bang of It all. You want me to tell the Old Man that It was your cousin who married Townsend this morn ing?" "Don't you believe It?" She hoped ber laugh sounded more convincing over the wires than It did In this empty room. "Why don't you be lieve It?" Again there was so odd a pause that she hurried out her trump card. "If your uncle la as skeptical as you, Jenny had better go and see blm herself and assure him It really Is true!" "Perhaps she had." "What are you laughing at?" de manded Georgia. . "At what time will she come?" "Oh tomorrow morning, I should think. He's always at home on Sun day morning, Isn't he? Ask him to see ber tor a few minutes at ten. . . . What art you laughing at?" "At myself, moBtly. Good-night." Oeorgle cupped her chin In her bands, frowning Intently. She ought to phone the hospital and Jenny, too but perhaps It was more Im portant to speak to 0111, the superin tendent. She swung out of the apartment and down the stairs. QUI was smok ing a pipe Just Inside his own room, near the door. He sat astride chair, bis folded arms along Its back, and not tor the first time she thought how arresting be was In .ppearanoe. Had ha beon taller he would have beon strikingly band ome. As It was, .his big, rugged bead, groy-balred, was poised on boulders that were too square and too high. He rose as she came towards' him and his lumbering movements seemed alien to his deep, shrewd eyes and strong mouth. "Oh, Gllll I wanted to speak to fou." He moved bis ohalr for her to enter his little office. The most Im posing thing In it was the telephone. Hare, 0111 received and forwarded the Imperious messages that sent Oeorgle flying to Rochester Oate from wherever she might ohance to be. Remembering how well she paid blm for these services, Oeorgle poke with confidence. "0111, I expect you've read ot the acoldent to Mr. Townsend? You know, the airman? You've seen blm coming tn and out here a lot." 0111 nudded. He was by nature llent In fact, his taciturnity was by-word. "You may have read, too, that he .Was only married this morning?" 0111 said nothing. "If anybody asks you," pursued Oeorgle, "which ot the two Miss Revells he married, what would you lay? . . . Its's rather Important you should get It straight In your mind because newspaper men may call." "Qentleman who came to see you ust now asked me a lot o' Ques tions," vouchsafed 0111. , "Oh, what did you T" "He didn't get nothing out ot me." Oeorgle whistled her relief.

"I don't know whether I ever told you, but If 1 were to marry I should lose my Job. So you'll remember which one of us It Is who Is really Mrs. Townsend, won't you?" Gill crooked one knee across the other, standing precariously on one leg the while, and knocked out his pipe against the sole ot his boot. Georgle waited patiently. It was no use ever hurrying GUI. Then she remembered that she had not touched on monetary consideration. "You may have to deal with quite a good many enquiries," she added. "Suppose I give you an extra Ave dollars a week tor as long as 1 still work for Mr. Matching?" 0111 straightened himself. He seemed to be considering profound ly. Sbe was Just about to raise her offer when be asked "Is that all right with Miss Jenny my saying that?" Georgle frowned. Then she smiled. GUI couldn't know that Jenny bad already consented to the -srell, the He. "Because, seems to me," Gill was laboriously proceeding, "If I was to say Miss Jenny was married, to any friend ot hers, well, seems to me It might give the wrong Idea," Oeorgle laughed, amused. "She hasn't any special friend who would care one way or the other." And then, as Gill looked un convinced "Perhaps you'd better ring ber up and let ber tell you her self that sbe doesn't object. Get the hotel, will you?" He obeyed. And while she waited, she saw a Record In the corner, picked It up and read its stop-press news. "Mr. Eddie Totontend, who teat at (As wheel when hit oar cams into collision with a but hat futt left City Ball after hit marriage to Jilts Qeorgina Revell." Wonderful, thought Georgle grimly, what a lot they bod given away In that one sentencel No wonder the Old Man bad collapsed. "The hotel, miss." Oeorgle took the receiver. "1 wont to speak to Miss Revell." Another delay. Then Jenny's voice murmuring something. "That you, Jen? You've seen the Recorit" "Yes. I've seen It" "You'll help me out, of course? . , . You know In what way 1 mean?" "I yes, I know what you mean. But" "I want you to start by telling Gill he's here now how to stall oft enquiries. , . . You know what I mean." "Yes," repeated Jenny's voice, even more faintly, "1 know what you mean. . , . Will It do It I see him tomorrow in the evening?" . "Well, but why not speak to blm now?" There was no answer, "Besides, you must be round here early, honey, please. I've a lot to tell you a lot has happened. There's bad news about Ed. And you must como with me to Roches ter Oate. I've made an appointment for ten." "Or nol" protested Jenny's voice quite sharply and distinctly. "Not at ten. I can't come at ten." Oeorgle nearly gaped. "But you but why not?" she de manded. Then, as silence again en sued, she added "Believe me, when people make appointments with the Old Man, they keep 'em." "I didn't make this one A sharp, stubborn tone quite an amailng tone from docile little Jenny. "I'll come round," said Oeorgle hurriedly. "When 1 explain about poor old Ed, you'll see that It's es sential" "No, don't come, please, Oeorgle. I'm too tired. I 1 want to go to bed." "Then I'll come tomorrow, about nine or half-past When you hear how things are" "Goodnight," said Jenny. Slowly, Georgle turned from the Instrument 'Miss Jenny will see you some time tomorrow, 0111. She's too tired tonight to speak to anyone." Oil! grunted. She felt his shrewd eyes follow her as she went up the stairs. Disturbing echoes went with her Jenny's mysterious "Not at tenl" and Garth Aveney's laughter and dills sceptical grunt Georgle couldn't think why any ot these people should have beon ao difficult to handle: Jenny, on whom she had so confidently reckoned, the most difficult of all. . .And suddenly she faced the fact that Jenny, In spite of her promise. In spite of Eddie' breakdown Jenny might rotuss to toll that terribly necessary lie. (Copyright. Julia CUtt-Addamt) Jtnny rnskts her decision, to morrow.
