GEOROIB, over tha old fry
shoulder, looked harder (till at
lennr.
The menage of Georgia's ayes
iris Terr clear. "Jenny, jrou must
lay up, you must!"
"Well? Eht"
Tm, I married Eddie Townsend."
"It be here!"
Inroluntarlljr Jenny glanced be
hind her at the closed kitchen door.
"I'll aee him, then," announced
rhe Old Man.
"Ob, no, you can't s him," said
fenny, surprising herself quite as
such aa her hearers.
Georgia gasped. It was a quite
distinct gaep and It surprised Jenny
profoundly; she had never before
realized what a towering, colossal,
''boss" the Old Man waa to Georgia.
Whereas to Jenny he was Just a
rose old man with dyspepsia, not
inllka her grandfather. She looked
Sim flrmly In the eye.
1 can't allow you to see Eddie
lie was a iui:eiy, cL-cnu-K-, cross
old uermu, inai was an : j ' uui
Bddlo can't possibly be left."
"Like to come and hare dinner
with me at Rochester Gate some
night? Wednesday night? Eh?"
"But won't you still be away?"
"Are you trying to teach me my
business? Let me tell you, young
woman "
"Please," begged Jenny, as she
had often and often begged ber
grandfather "please don't ihout
sol"
"Are you coming to dinner on
Wednesday night or not?" demand
ed the Old Man; but he did not
shout.
"I shall be delighted," said Jenny;
and, obeying some memory halt lost
in childhood, she dropped him a
demure little curtsey.
"Jenny!" breathed Georgia, utter
ly bewildered.
"Shut up, ReTellt Why aren't
you packing? Didn't you hoar ma
say you had only ten minutes to
pack? I'll wait In the car no, thank
you, I won't go In there." The Old
Man grimaced violently at the door
ot the living-room, which Oeorgle
flung open. "I know when I'm not
wanted." He turned back to Jenny
and It became evident that the
grimace was a smile. "You're very
young. As your cousin says, not
much more than a child."
"You can't aee him," aald Jenny. "I oan't allow you to."
today, I'm afraid. He la In a highly
nervous state and ha musn't see
anyone ha doesn't want to see."
"Indeed! n-deedl" The gray, nar
row face waa twisted Into a sneer.
"That's very Interesting,1 that he
doesn't want to see me!"
"Ton Ind It so?" A lightning In
dignation had sprung up In Jenny
and aha did not care whether aha
bowed It or not. Best stand up to
him as aha bad so often had to stand
, up to grandfather! "You find It
merely Interesting when a first-rate
tier losea his chance ot ever flying
gain his whole future, his health
and his strength, all gone? You
- should ba ashamed to coma here at
-all. If that la all you have to say!"
There waa a most curious silence.
, Oeorgle, ber rich color ebbing and
flowing, stared from one. to the
other. Jenny remained four-square
In front ot the kitchen door and, to
(Ira point to her remarks, turned
tha key and dropped It Into the
' pocket of her little sttk coat.
And Qratton Matching what in
tha world waa thla sound that waa
being wrung out of old Qratton
Matching? It waa very like the rasp
of a door on rusty hinges but It was
'andouhtedy a laugh. Georgle'a re
lieved smile showed It.
"You'll forgive my cousin, air?
Che's not much more than a child"
"Shut up, Revell!" His slato-gray
i ayes bored Into Jenny's, "l'ou're
. not asking me to forgive you for
' anything you've sa'.d or done, are
you? Eh?"
"Certainly net," Jenny, assured
him. "I think It Is you who should
apologise. And then you should go
away, since Eddie can't sea you,
and let ma tell him that no one will
worry him until he la better."
"I've never apologised to anyone
In my lite," declared the Old Man,
"and as tor worrying your careless
tool of a husband, what about the
nuisance I've been put to? Hera he
goea hurtling through the wind
ahleld ot a car when he ought to be
flying ma tonight. Here I've got to
go on some fool train Instead!" He
took an unexpected atep towards
her but she did not retreat. "Like to
come on tha trip with ua?"
"Oh, I should have adored It!"
(Why, ha wasn't a terrible old man
at all when you got to know html
"I don't agree. I waa 24 two days
ago."
"Hat And do you know what I
did the day after I was 21?" And as
she shook her head "I did Just
what you did yesterday."
"I don't remember," putzled Jen
ny, completely oft her guard, "doing
anything special yesterday."
Gratton Matchlng's grimace wid
ened. He made no answer but ges
tured Georgle Imperiously to open
(he door of the apartment.
The sound ot his footstops had
died away before Georgle shut the
door. She did It so clumsily that It
halt slammed and Jenny exclaimed
"Oh, be careful You're making
such a clatter!"
"Are you going to hector ma aa
you hectored the Old Man, Jenny?
You put It across with him mag
nificently or perhaps he always
haa a soft spot for a blonde. Rut
you mustn't, you know, take that
tone with me."
Jenny wondered If the skies had
fallen. She stood stupidly staring
while Georgle walked Into her own
room and closed the door behind
her.
Jenny forced herself across the
little hall to that closed door and
every yard seemed a mile. She
raised her hand to knock and tha
door opened wide.
"Oh, Jenny pet, what under
heaven got Into me? It wasn't me
speaking, not the real me. Forget
It, lamble for any sake, promise
me you'll forget!"
They were clinging together.
"I'll forget," promised Jenny, "If
you'll forgive the times I've snapped
at you tor calling me a child when
I'm a full-grown woman an old
maid, a. one might say ot 14,
You're tired out, darling. Must you
go with him?"
"Yea, I must Can you pack for
me? 1 don't believe 1 have ever
felt really tired until now. I didn't
sleep last night . , , You wei-o splen
did with the Old Man, Jen. You
sounded absolutely aa though It waa
you who married Ed yesterday. I
It was horrible ot me, but you made
me Jealous. What's the mattor?"
(CodiHpM, Julia Clelt-iMam,)
Jennie and Georgia meet In opn
oMaaoreement, tomorrow, and Jenny
falocka Georgia's way when aha tries
ta leave tha apartment.
