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
