Br !LtNN CHAKFLl tut ual roautsl HYSOPS1S: One day wtth dnrth Aveney, whom h lovtt, although the thinka ha liltea her raualn Oeorote, ta alt Jenny Kevell hope tor before aha enter upon a atrauge deception. Sit ia going to pretend the ha married h'tldte Townsend, lor Georgia lose her iob if discovered to ba tddle' ull. Chapter 17 THE DOCTOR SCENTS MYSTERY GILL continued to look steadily at Janny. "Might be awkward, (or Instance, It that gentleman In the car outside was to be 'old that you'd got mar ried when you hadn't," he said and Jenny saw (or the first time that his eyes were very wIbo and kind. "The gentleman you met at the cor ner o( Eyle Street last night he's outside the hotel now. Just drawn np, he has." Jenny got to her feet. She won dered suddenly It she were dream ing everything this quaint con versation with Gill and the clean little shop and the street outside shown In the copper urn. Sho looked out of the window shyly, at' though she would only see what she had waited (or Garth Aveney at the wheel of his car,' come to take ber to plcnla with him In the coun try. "He Is very early," she said halt to herself. "It Isn't nearly ten.". She moved to the door and Gill stood aside. QUI oh yes, ot course GUI had very decently asked ber If she would object to his telling peo ple that It was she who was Mrs. Townsend. "You may tell peopln It was I," she said "after today. Today is going to be mine." Gill grunted. He, too, was staring out at the car under the portico. He opened the door (or Jenny to pass out and still he stared. As she stepped out on to the pave ment she saw that Gill had seen that Garth Aveney, with a sudden shrug and a jerk, had switched on his engine again and was driving away. "P'raps the gentleman has mis took the time," suggested Mrs. Big ger. She had joined them In the doorway. "How would It be If Mr. Gill was to holler after him, dearie, and let him know you're here?" Jenny shook her bead and moved way. She (elt cold In the blazing aunshlne and most utterly (orlorn. GUI and Mrs. Bigger might watch the slowly retreating car until It turned the corner, but she could not GUI was walking at her side. "No sense In letting anyone think you're married when you aren't," he commented In his abrupt bass. " shan't say nothing, one way or the other takes a lot ot questions to get anything out ot me. But there's no sense In your letting Miss Re veil" "I'm very glad to let Miss Revel) ay anything she likes," said Jenny as he paused. "I'm most awfully (lad she can make use ot me. You needn't consider me. Gill, Thank you, though, all tba same." Gill grunted. Aveney'a care had disappeared; the street was empty. Jenny crossed back to the hotel and vent Inside. The lounge was cool and held very tew people. An Intri cate gilt clock on the mantelpiece showed ten minutes to ten. She sat quietly down by the window. It was, after all, reasonable to suppose that Garth had found him self ahead ot bis appointment and had only gone for a tew minutes and would return. Reasonable to (It and wait while the gilt hands sluggishly moved to ten o'clock. Nevertheless, she knew quite pos itively that he would not come. He 'bad not mistaken the time. He had not been at a loss as to her where abouts. It was simply that he had arranged to take her motoring and bad got as far as her door and then had decided that he couldn't, hon estly, face the prospect ot a whole day In her company. Later on, no doubt, he would send some formal excuse. Why should he bother about Geor gia's cousin when It was Oeorgle with whom he bad (alien In love? "It says here about that airman Townaend " suddenly remarked as old lady In a corner, re folding nor paper "that be had only Just got married when he had that acci dent." "Yes," nodded the slightly young r lady near her. "I remember him. He bad dreadtul dyspepsia; that ac counted (or bis temper, people said. I remember his wife, too, poor little foul." "I didn't know he had one." "She died , . . 8he was a very beautiful glrL Very (air and timid. Quite unable, I should say, to stand up to him. II you have finished with that Illustrated paper, may I have It!" Jenny t clock. I was past Uii . .1 quarter pas'., Remote in her thought, she had no. heard the chime. She got up anl left the lounge and went up to hn room again. She must go to tht, apartirent. It seemed silly to take off the cool (rock and hat, but she (elt that It would help her to forgot what to day bad promised her; and the smart dark dress that Georgle hA chosen for ber would help ber to do what she could anything she could to pay Georgle back (or all her wonderful kindness. As sne adjusted the dress she could see In the mirror the pile ot laat evonlug's papers. The Record was still cm the top. Possibly Garth Aveney bad read. Its news last night; most probably he had read his papers this morn ing. And they had all told him tba same thing that Georgle, whom he loved, bad married Eddie Tows send. Jenny, shutting ber eyes for a momenti ber Ongors clenched upon her little fluted trills, could hear again the thrill In bis voice as Georgle sent him away. "Good night, Miss Loyalty . . . You've been magnificent. He ought to thank bis stars tor you." No wonder that he bad felt be couldn't endure Georgle's little cousin today. No wonder at all. Nothing to cry about . . . Jenny bathed her eyes, finished dressing and went down to the street. She told herself that It was all done with now, all over and for gotten that moment when she had stood Ignored upon the pavement and watched him (ling; aside his Just-lit cigarette, pull his hat down over hla eyes, reach for the gear and escape. And she told herself that she had been nothing but a fool. She bad thought herself. If only (or a day, a golden girl, and all the time ehe was Just a puppet, a doll; a silly little figure moving grotesquely In the shadows of Mrs. Blgger's cop per urn. Drawn up before the building In which was Georgle's flat Jenny eaw an ambulance. Evidently Eddie bad been brought home. She halted In her step, then went steadily (orward. Since Georgle's hesitating "There's bad news about Ed," Jenny had given only a passing thought to Eddie Town send. She remembered now, re morsefully, that she had not even asked wherein the bad news lay, Perhaps he was permanently In jured a cripple? She broke Into run ... There were a couple of Idlers near the ambulance, but the main hall was empty. Someone was Is Gill's little nfllce, though; eomeoni whose voice was raised In the ex asporatlon QUI sometimes provoked "I tell you, I was here yesterday I asked to see Mrs. Townsend 01 Miss Revell; I didn't know which was which you told me yoursell the number of their apartment. It'i sheer silly waste ot time pretending you've never aeen me before." Silence from GUI. "Miss Revell herself Informed mi that Mrs.. Townsend was at aome hotel or other. It's no use your ask ing me to believe you don't know which one It Is. All I want you to do Is to phone that hotel and toll the lady that Mr. Townsend Insist ed on going straight up to their apartmont . . . Well?" "Don't know anything about any thing" from Gill, Implacably. Jenny marched Into the office. GUI was looking as wooden as a ship's figurehead. The man who faced him turned and scrutinized Jenny Instead. He was the doctor who had rendered first aid to Eddie on that horrible pavement. "Mrs. Townsend. I understand!" he exclaimed. "You don't undoratand It from me," put In GUI. The doctor's quick stance went from GUI to Jenny. His eyes wers Intensively Inquisitive, she thought, and bis voice was far too familiar. Your cousin told me your mar rlage wasn't secret, Mrs. Town send, but there seems to be a lot ol mystery made about It down berel I must have been kept hanclni about here for nearly ten minutes. I m beginning to wonder" Is yonr patient upstairs?" Jennv asked. The doctor flushed. Jennv had spoken In a tone that she bad not used for a very long time: not sines the days when she lived Is her grandfather's bouse and wore faded ginghams and hunted tor eggs In the overgrown garden and was. all the same. Miss Georglna Revell to whom nobody might be Imperti nent, ever. (Copyright. Julia Clatt-Addama) Will Jsnny er the dootor win? Sh Is ehsllanaed by Qrstton Matching, himself, tomorrow.
