JIEDFOKD MOT, TRIBUNE, rEDFOTlD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JTJXE '16, '1932. PXGE TEN By ULt.NN CHaKja and UAL FOKUfjf You Can t Marry TAILSPIN TOMMY Plot and Counter Plot! BYNOP81N: A ausptcloua doctor threaten Georgia Towneend'e plan to hold her job by tilling htr em ployer thot her coueln Jenny and not aha hat married Eddie Tovnaend. Jenny ftnde the doc tor, uho haa attended Sddie alter a nervous breakdown, trying to Sueation the auperintendent of aorgle'a apartment houae. Chapter IS "YOU MARRIED MY PILOT?" "ftSCS upstairs, yss," tha doctor - a!d. "Miss Revell haa told foil, of course, what bli trouble Is?" "Yes," said Jenny. "That l, she told me there was bad news about him. She didn't give me detail!." "Odd!" ineered the doctor. "And neither of you at home to take charge of the poor chap. Or per bapi he doesn't live here, really? . Though I remember Miss Revel! mentioned she was getting the . apartment ready lor you and your husband?" "I don't think." said Jenny very Quietly, "that I know your name." "Tallas. Dr. Leslie Tallas." "Thank you. Are there any In structions I should be given, Dr. Tallas, about Mr. Townsend before you go?" "Well, he's suffering from pro found nervous shock." The doctor . wet not flushed, now, be was pale. His eyes were hostile as they came to rest upon Jonny's hands. "They gave him a sedative at the hospital before they got him Into the am bulance they didn't want to let bim go at all, at first, but I offered to take charge of him and he was rapidly running a temperature at the Idea of being kept In tbat place. A lot of planes go over, you see, and be has the fixed Idea that one will drop on blm and crush him. But you'd better consult your doctor about him. He'll give what advice be can and probably recommend a special 1st" "I see. Thank you. Then I needn't detain you any longer." Miss Qeorglna Revell bowed (lightly. Dr. Tallas scowled, shrug ged bis shoulders, saluted perfunc torily and strode out to the am bulance. GUI gave a loud, short laugh. "You helped him get Mr. Town lend up to the apartment, Gill? Did he seem excited? 111? , Gill reflected. "Seemed glad to get there," be vouchsafed at last. He added Ir relevantly "Your wearing no ring, Miss Jenny, that's what started tbat doctor chap nose-poking. Most mar ried ladles wear rings." . The hot color flooded Jenny's face. "1 don't want to I won't I" she aald vehemently. Then, as though something pursued her, she turned and fled up the stairs. By the time she reached the door of the apartment she was composed gain, at any rate outwardly; only her mind and ber heart were still rebellious. She whlspored "I won't wear a ring and I won't speak of Eddie as 'my husband.' " Then she unlocked the door and went In, ready to face Georgle's stinging re proaches. But there were none. Georgle was sot there. The few rooms lay com pactly round the little square hall and, with all doors open, Jenny could see at a glance that Georgle had not yet returned from Roches ter Gate. But where, then, was Ed die Townsend? She looked Into the room that had been prepared for him; bis lug age was there It bad arrived, she remembered, twenty-tour hours ago -but It bad not been unpacked. And she noticed, too, that his cur tains were not up after all she was rather glad of that, they would give ber something practical and Imme diate to see to. In Georgle's room there was work waiting as well; the bed was unmade and the chairs were heaped and littered with clothes, all new, all dreadfully expensive-looking. And In the sitting room the flowers needed attention. She turned Into the kitchen and, as she pushed open the door, there was the sound of a quick stumble behind It and then a crash. "Eddie!" He was pressed back agalnat the dresser, an empty kettle at his feet On the store a gas-flame flared high, and the lid of the kettle was spin ning merrily In the recess under the sink. His bead was bandaged and plaetered so that very little of hla face conld be seen; but what was visible looked startllngly pale. His yes were frightened. "Ob, It's only you, Jon!" he croaked, tried to laugh and then col lapsed heavily Into a chair and held his bead In bis hands. E S HKW YORK, June 19 (AP) The World Telegram aald today that the Wlllard Straight post of the Ameri can Legion haa been suspended tor opposing the Legton'e bonus lobby ac tivities in Washington. Several montna auo the poat sent a telegram to National Commander Henry L. Stevens demanding dlacon ttnuance of "all attempts" to "coerce eongreae." Maurice Atember, New York state adjutant, refilled to confirm or deny the reported suspension. Orvaham. Ivy service atatlon In stalled new hydraulic car hotat and ell and greaae equipment. Odell. Rural fire department or ganised, at this plaoa. Jenny picked up the kettle, filled it, retrieved the Ud and set the water on to boll. She was so afraid of saying an Incautious thing that she kept silence. She found ber duster and went back to Georgle's room. Hor Hps aj well as ber hands were trembling. Bad news about Ed, Georgia had hinted. Bad news Indeed! What could be worse than complete nervous collapse to a man whose only capital was his courage, his coolness of judgment, his quickness of band and eye? Jenny flicked the peacock satin eiderdown into place on Georgle's bed and gazed In dismay at the wisps of lovely, fragile lingerie flung over the rail at the end. "Oh, Georgle, what crazy extravagancel" Not for the first time, she was amazed that Mlaa Revell of Mann ing's methodical, balanced, eco nomical of effort was also this prodigal, clothes-mad, laughter-loving Georgle! A besitatlng step In the hall and Eddie hovered, filling the doorway. "The kettle's boiling. I say, when when will Georgle be back?" "Any minute," Jenny assured blm cheerfully. "Mr. Matching often has some extra work for ber on Sunday morning. What wore yon going to make, tea or coffee?" "I wall, I thougb of a eup of strong coffee." There was a shamed note In bis voice that she found pathetic "My nerves seem a bit shaky after that bang up yeeterdey. I suppose It' was yesterday?" He leaned against the door-post and she saw he was shuddering. "Yesterday, yes. Come and help me make the coffee." He followed her back to the kitchen. "Haa that Tallas chap gone yet? He brought me along, y'know. I was half asleep by the time we got here but I remember Gill let ns In and after a bit Tallas said he'd go down and find out where my wife was." His voice stumbled over the words. , "She'll be here any minute," Jen ny repeated gently. "Take the old easy-chair, Eddie. You always used to declare It was the only really comfortable one In the apartment." The wicker creaked and groaned as he droppod Into lu She glanced at blm anxiously. He was so pals and his bandage looked so uncom fortable. Perhaps she ought to phone for a doctor before she did anything else? But neither she nor Georgle were ever 111 and she did not know where to find one. "Whon I've had that coffee, I think I'll doze off again for a bit," be remarked, watching her busy hands. "You won't let anyone In except Qoorgle, will you?" "No one shall worry you," she promised, distressed by bis bunted glance at the door, "Black coffee, you said, didn't you? Sugar?" She passed him a brimming cup. Hla Angers .were uncertain as they took It from her and the next seo- ond they bad loosened their grip altogether and the cup and saucer were In pieces on the floor, lapped by a tide of coffee. 'There's a plane going over," be gasped. "It It crashes oh, Jen, don't let It crash!" He threw up his hands and dap ped them upon bis head, cowering down Into the old chair so tbat his face was bidden in Its cushion. Jen ny looked helplessly towards the window. The throb of engines cams to her when she listened Intently. Eddie gave a groaning sigh and slid more deeply Into the cushions. At the same moment there was a sound of a latchkey In the door of the apartment. Heedless of the split coffee and broken china, Jenny dashed out of the kitchen. She did not know whether Eddie had tainted or not, but It was plain that he bad com pletely broken down. Georgle must come to him at oncel "Georgle" she began. She checked herself. Georgle was there but she was not alone. She was usberlng Into the little ball someone whom Jenny at once recognized as Oratton Matching. This upright, short old man, shuffling along la his gray clothes, his long gray face pushed arrogantly forward, his slate-col ored eyes dull and blank, could be no one else. "My cousin, air," said Georgle ner vously, looking at Jenny. "Cousin, eh?" (What a rasping voice the Old Man had!) "You mar ried my pilot, Townaend, eh? ... Townsend's wife, are you? Eh?" (CopyHjM, Julia Clatt-Addamt) If Jsnny tiys "no," she will be trey Oaorglai If aha aaya "yea," Matching may catch har In tha nal of har own lias. What doaa aha answsr, Mondayt OTTAWA.
