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

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.
