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. Gill's

:a swallowed It,
"it's Miss Jenny who married Mr.
Townsend," said Georgle looking
very straight at him. "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.
