You Cant Marry y by Julia Ckt-Addanu . .dLsi By OL&NN CHAfFIN .. and UAL fOBBtSr TAILSPIN TOMMY The Padmini Gains Its "Victory!" KYNOPHIS: Tha couraaa at Jenny Revell, when aha firmly Uea to Oratton Matching ana tall him - aha hat married Eddie Totcnaend, ratchca Matching'a interest, tt ; the marriapa of Jenny'a cousin, ' Georgia, to Townaend were admit- tad to Matching, openly, ha would diacnarge Gaorgte, hia aecretary, Tovnaend ,hoa had narvoua v amaah'Up, . I'M just remembering that I am supposed to have cot married yeateriay that's what Mr. Match ing meant, of course," Jenny said. "That'a what he did when he was li and a day." "Doesn't matter," answered Oeorgle. "I'm not being jealous now, honestly but I don't think he Helleres you married Ed at all, He thinks he knows, somehow, It was me." "But then'' . "He know It was I. (Think I'll hare to take a special grammar course again. Remind me, will you, - when I get back?) But he's content to accept our statement that It was you, provided the statement Is suffl . ciently water-tight. When he used to say to mo 'Don't let me hear ot your getting married!' he meant it quite literally. And we won't let him bear It. That's Sat." Georgia's old energy bad returned to her. She swept Jenny out ot the way and began to burrow In the huge wardrobe or her suitcase. "It's only tor a tew days, this trip, though I expect It'll be (or longer tban Wednesday. Nona ot that lingerie, It's all new. It oughtn't to be, but It Is." She laughed without merriment. "My trousseau, Jen. Wasn't I a tool? I haven't even tried It on yet. Haven't bad the heart." . Jenny could not And anything to say. Sb watched the quick hands folding and packing. They shook suddenly and stopped. "You think I don't really ear much (or Eddie, don't you, Jen?" "I think you love him but In your own way," Jenny said. "But you think I love my Job more. Well, that Isn't so. I'd choose Ed, now, before my job; I realized it when I waa being married to him. I know It wasn't a solemn ceremony, exactly, but It out solemn to me. I wish now that It had been In a church Instead ot In that fusty of fice. I (elt that I needed a blessing. I should have liked someone aounds sloppy, doesn't It? to blesa na both." : Jenny's mind went back to the dry words that had declared Oeorgle to be Eddie's wife. She tried to re member them and all she remem bered was that from where she stood In the dingy room she had aeen a little quiet garden and a bed ot snapdragon and a green bench; empty under the trees. "I blessed you bath In my-heart, Oeorgle." : "I know It, lamble; I can always reckon on you." But again Oeorgle paused In her task and sat back to peer up at bar cousin, perched upon the gorgeous new bed. "Except tbla morning at the hotel, Jenny. What happened? Where were you? They couldn't find you anywhere and you knew bow desperately Important It waa that you should aea the Old Han at ten. I told him that you were the sort of dreamy child who probably thought ha meant ten at nlgbt; but I'm pretty aura he didn't believe that either. Anyway, he In sisted on coming here and seeing you tor himself. But what hap pened that you weren't at the hotel?"' : "I waa selfish. I wanted a day to myself." Jenny gripped the lace of the coverlet and tried to say that ahe had wanted to spend the day had hoped and dreamed that she was going to spend the day with the man who loved Oeorgle and who meant nothing to Oeorgle at all. But the worda lay like bluer aloea upon ber llpa and would not be uttered. "I'm terribly sorry. I can't explain." , . Oeorgle pressed down the lid ot the sultcaae and clicked the locka hut. She seemed to be aatlsfted with the halting words. : "Well, all's serene for the mo ment You won't let me down again, I'm confident ot that; not now that you've tackled the most difficult part ot the scheme, the Old Man himself." 8he returned to the guesslng-table, powdered hastily, and combed her hair. "It's most extraordinarily fortunate that he should have taken a liking to you. Perhaps you remind blm ot bis long dead wife or aomethlngl" Jenny waa jarred by the laugh. "Ferhapa h likes ma because I tike blm." she said. "Yes, 1 Ilka him 'very much. Why abouldn't I?" "Only because everyone baa al ways found blm absolutely unendurable!" no wonder be "Then lonely." Amazed, Georgia dropped the comb, picked It up, bumped her head on the corner of the table and knocked over a chair. "George, truly Eddie can't stand any nolBe. You'll see for yoursell In a minute how appallingly nerv ous he la." Oeorgle righted the chair and sat down on It. "What did you say, Jen?" At a loss, Jenny repeated It. "Are you telling me that Eddie is actually In thla apartment? Actual ly In the kitchen? That he was really there when you told the Old Man" "Of courne, he waa really there! Of course, be Is In there now! What in the world makes you think be shouldn't be?" "Because late last night I rang up the hospital and said I would take a car down and fetch him during the morning." But she spoke me chanically, her attention concen trated on Jenny. "Then then you see, I thought you were Just bluffing the Old Man, Just posing as an anx ious wife. And all the while you weren't acting at all? You were really anxious, really angry?" Jenny slipped off the bed. She (olt, faintly, that contraction of the heart that she bad endured outside, In the ball; the desolating fear that Gscrgle waa changed towards her. No, not that! "Go In and see him now," she urged. She took the key from her pocket and laid It on Georgia's knee. "He baa been longing for you, long ing and longing. All the more be cause the Idea of seeing anyone else simply terrifies him. I'm hoping he a asleep. But it you wake him and say you're only going away for a little while and that you'll never leave him, once you're borne again, you'll begin to cure him, aa no one else can. You'll see, dearest, that It Is so." . Georgia smiled faintly. The strangeness went from her eyes; she leaned to Jenny and klsaed ber lightly on the cheek. And again Jenny felt that they had come close In spite of something. "You're a quaint, solemn little creature and I'm a fool. No, I won't wake him; It's far better that ' I should slip, away and that you should tell him I couldn't stop." Georgia Jumped up and, as though her movement were a signal, there waa a knock on the outer door. "That's the Old Man's valet. Mace, sent to tell me to hurry up. I can't stand the man, he's like a mole; but he's rather a power in bla own way. Let me pass, honey what's the matter?" Jenny could not clearly say what was the matter. She found hersell with her back to the door, barring Oeorgie'a way out "You simply can't go without see ing Eddie. You can't. Perhaps you don't understand what you mean to him. Ha needs you. HeSa been counting the minutes. Because he's asleep It doesn't mean that he Isn't waiting tor you he'a only eleepy because they had to give him some thing to get him here quietly. Even 0111 will tell you that Eddie was 10 thankful to get home." Oeorgie'a face was set She hurled words, back at Jenny aa though they were stones to hurt her. And you object to being called chlldlshl You silly child, you talk about my never leaving Eddie again will you tell me, please, who Is to keep him and ma In thla charming little home If I lose my Job? What do you think Eddle'a savings are? Enough for a year, perhaps. What do you think mine are? Nothing at all. Actually, I'm heavily overdrawn at the bank and I've more bills to meet than I've ever had betorel "Don't don't look like that Jennyl Don't look so shocked I" She trlod to laugh. "I'm going to turn over a new leaf, 1 swear It But In the meantime, get out ot my way and let ma do the only thing I can and earn, earn, earn-l" The aummona at the door was repeated and Georgia pushed her way out Jenny, gazing after her, saw that outside the front door stood a short slightly stooped man with close-set eyes. He took the suitcase and the door closed. Presently, from the street below, cam the aound of a big car eliding Into speed. Jenny picked up the key from where it had fallen to the Door and went slowly to the kitchen, At any rate, ahe thought Irrelevantly, Eddie need sot be locked In any longer, The next moment ahe heard his vole.
