Chapter U IN THE COPPER URN WITH the thought came all the weariness of the last twelve hours, all the memories, all the fears. Aa Georgia dragged herself back Into the apartmef t, the bruise on her temple throbbof violently. How In the world had she ever thought she could do those curtains before she slept! She waa too utterly spent even to try on her trousseau. She dropped Into the new chair that smelt so richly of leather and let her head fall back. Now, (or the drat time, she thought about Eddie really thouaht about blm. Eddie who had always matched her, strength for strength, whose laugh' ter bad climbed with hers, who had spilt money and youth and success all along their reckless pathway Eddie cried and fainted and shook with nervous agonies which one couldn't hope to prevent... Poor Eddie, mourned her pity poor old u'oraiuariiy plain, siimni-uyuv. ana. swarthy; but Jenny liked her. "You alnt goln' to spend this An Sunday all by yerself, don't tell me" she said, whipping the lid Irom the great copper urn. "Ha7 a biscuit with yer milk, dear." Jenny accepted the blacult and sal by the counter, contentedly nibbling and sipping. In the side of the urn, Mrs. B'fgor and her shop were re flected and behind them the houses opposite, the portico of the hotel and, dwindling Into miniature, the whole length of the street Jenny was amused to see how the copper distorted the lines ot Mrs. BIgger's face and made her, on the whole, better-looking. She chuckled and the face in the gleaming copper grinned in vague sympathy. "Have yer Joke while yer can, I always say," encourassd Mrs. Big ger. But Jenny had sobered. In the tiny reflection of the street she could see the steps of the hotel and the form of someone running up them. She knew without the slightest doubt that it was Georgia. She sat breathless; unable un willing to look out of the window and down the street to where the real Georgia ran up real steps. Here, In the urn, life was only a red-gold picture. A little figure of a girl wenl glimmering up towards a shadowy Jenny sat breathless unable to look out of the window. Eddie-boy, I'll take care ot you somehow until you're well again I . But her heart was saying nothing at all; was stonily quiet; held no stir of that thudding pulse that bad answered bis. There was only ter ror and sense of loss. Exactly as though be were dead. Jenny had that useful gift of be ing able to waken herself at any hour of the morning she chose. She went to bed saying firmly "Six o'clock, please" and at six exactly her eyes would fly opon. On this Sunday morning shs had said "Eight" and at eight she woke. There waa a pool of sunlight on tbe floor and a (alnt breeze was busy with the curtains. A Una day ... To day she would not be against that ternal background of Georgia; ahe would stand quite separate and free. In a corner was the Record, tossed away with 'he other papers of last night; Jenny turned her eyes reso lutely from them and went to her bath. The water waa tepid and ahe missed Georgle's scented crystals but she hummed to herself In a mall, tuneless voice. Back in her room ahe took out a slender dark silk suit that Georgia had given her. Then she laid It aside It wasn't, shs felt, hert; no aa the voile frock of gray patterned faintly with blue waa hers simple and cool and made by her own hands. And to wear It she bad contrived (or she waa clever at such things a big gray linen hat with a blue flower under tha brim. Shs went very quietly out ot her room and down tha stairs. The hands ot the clock crept glltterlngly towards the hour ot nine. Georgia bad said that she would com to tha hotel between nine and halt-past. Jenny turned away from tha corner which led to Kyle Street and crossed the road. A tew paces along this pavement was a little hop. Jenny had long ago made friends with tha woman who owned tt and now she pushed open the door and went In. "Will you aell ma a glass ot milk, Mrs. Bigger?" Mrs. Bigger, behind tbe counter, smiled and nodded. Sbe waa ex- door and It ahe were told there that a trick had been played upon her, It didn't matter. But In the real world outside It mattered terribly. It was a terrible thing to play a trick upon Georgia, to let her down wben aha had done everything "You haven't drunk bait yer milk." Jenny sat down again. Sha bad kept her eyes on the picture In tha copper and now the saw that the girl's figure bad returned to tbe street. A moment's hesitation and a taxi was hailed. Faintly, with tha hum of an engine and the grinding of gears, tha tiny square thing fled out of the picture. Georgle had gone alone to Roch ester Gate. "Have another biscuit," said Mrs. Bigger. v Jenny took It mechanically. Sbe did not fool aa ahe had thought aha would feel, guilty and miserable and mean; she Just telt very sorry (or Georgle, In a detached way, and sha wished that It were possible to tell her that It was only for one day she would be left In the lurch. At the end of this heavenly Sunday, lite would awing back, out ot tha gleam of gold and the shadows ot dreama, Into the plain pathway of facts. "Hollo! "remarked Mra. Bigger. Jenny turned. The door had opened and there entered, ponder ously, Gill. Jenny had Just coma to tha conclusion that be bad not rec ognised her under the big brim ot bor bat when he slowly turned. "Is that all right, miss," he asked "my saying what Miss Revell told me about you know what?" Jenny gased helplessly back at GDI. "Might be a bit awkward for Miss Revell tt I waa to say otherwise," he went on. "I see that. On the other band, might be a bit awkward for you It I was to do what sha wants and say It waa you. Thought I'd ask you what you thought." Mrs. Bigger had listened without any great curiosity to this cryptic speech. She went off to tha rear premises.
