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!"

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

mystery made about It down berel
I must have been kept hanclni

asked.
The doctor flushed. Jennv had
spoken In a tone that she bad not

grandfather's bouse and wore faded
ginghams and hunted tor eggs In
the overgrown garden and was.
