PA'GE EIGHT Can't HysoFBim Alter Uarth Ave ney myatenoualy breake an en gagement with Jenny Kevelt, ehe ette him while ehe ie having tea with Vale Ruder. Jenny ie in volved in her court Genroie't ee cret marriaae. tor Oeorole hne told her employer. Oration Match ing, thnt Jenny married Edd:e Towneend ineleai of hereelt- Chapter 14 SPILLING A FEW BEANS GARTH AVENBY waa bending toward! a woman In a lovely large bat and tbe flowerlest of chif fons. Hn wai amused, Intent, bat ting, challenging, elusive m tbe jiver. Jenny moved her chair so that It faced tbe window. She wondered if he had planned to bring her here, when he had thought that perhaps she would help blm to forget Georgia tor a day! 8he closed ber eyes and for a magic second the was opposite to blm In chiffons and lace. And then Vale Joined ber and It was time to sit up and stop being a silly, sentimental little fool. "Hullo, there's Brlgltta and Are- ney," be exclaimed, nodding over Jenny's shoulder to the couple by the far window. "Bit of a coinci dence, what?" He laughed some what boisterously and waved a linger. "Brlgltta DeerlngI" Jenny would not turn but she was curious In spite ot herself. Brlgltta Deer in g, both on tbe stage and oft It, waa so ei ceptlonally lovely. Had been was It cattish to remember? so ezcep- . tlonally lovely for so many, many years! "That's ber stage name," assented Vale. He appeared about to add something when there was a stir of chiffons and a waft of scent. Brl gltta Deerlng was on ber way to the door. Still Jenny would not turn. No need to look up until Garth Aveney was level with ber. No need then, unless be stopped and spoke. He did not stop. He went quickly past with a curt, mocking little bow for ber and a word to Vale. It waa Brlgltta who stopped. She laid a brightly-nailed band on Vale's shoul der and murmured: "Oh, I say, dar ling, what a sleuth you'd makel "Pure chance, I swear It, pro tested Vale. "All I knew was, you'd gone somewhere along tbe river. By the way, have you met" But the exquisite Brlgltta had trailed off. Vale, Jenny thought, was mors than a little embarrassd by the encounter; and she waa Inclined to agree with Brlgltta that It bad sot been entirely one of chance. She stared across the big room while he ordered tea and saw Garth Aveney again; tills time In a mirror that reflected the courtyard. In a mirror such as she had seen blm when Georgia bad sat, gorgeous and velvety In apricot and gold, at his side; aa now that lovely, painted woman waa sitting In his car. Al ways, always someone beautiful and confident and successful In tbe place where Jenny Revell longed to be. . . . "Not much of tbe Matching look about him," commented Vale. Jenny could not follow tha re mark. "About Mr. Aveney? Why should there be?" "Well, relations do sometimes re semble each other. You'll pour out, won't you? I never can get my own tea right; poor look-out for anyone else's." Jenny lifted tha tea-pot and put It down again. "Do you mean that Mr. Aveney la related to old Mr. Matching?" "Nephew, Only one he's got But aurely you knew? Aveney himself told me yesterday that both you and Georgle knew all about blm and bis little stunt.- Ha let me In on It as well, because he said he felt he'd made us of me, not tbat I minded It, but he's a sensitive sort ot a fel low. He carea how ha stands with people. And In any case, Georgle came out with flying colors, so there was no secret left." Jenny poured tea and yet mora tea. In fact, she filled all the cups on the table and had to tip all but two away again. "Have 1 split any beans?" asked Vale, In a rush ot anxiety. "Aveney laid tbat Georgia bad put you wise what all the manoeuvring was about, last Friday night. She did put you wise, didn't she?" Jenny frowned In perplexity. She faltered out "In a way I guessed. I think she promised to tell me the whole of It one day. But she didn't say that Mr. Aveney was Mr, Matchlng's nephew." "Well, but that was the great point of the stunt," protested Vale. He cast a glance Into tbe courtyard and his grin re-folded Itself when he observed that Aveney'a car and Its bundle of chiffon and lace had left "However, all's well tbat beglna JOBLESS PROTEST $1 .50 DAY WAGE SALEM, Ort June 33 (AP) Ooy rnor Jultui L.

Have one of these pink castel lated cakes wltb tbe chocolate draw bridges all over them. Even tha tea la old-world In this place. Neverthe less, since you are so Insistent, I will have another cup." Tbla one Jenny poured without mishap. After all. Vale could only mean tbat Gartn bad manoeuvred to met Georgle In order to tell ber that be loved ber; In order to ask ber to send Eddie away and marry him Instead. What possible meaning could there be but tbat? Fine!" applauded Eddie. "Ob, Jolly One! That'a one ot those old- fashioned skirt dances. Isn't It? Go on, kid, gives us another!" Breathless and laughing, Jenny shook ber head. Her long skirts fell again Into their frosty shimmer; they bad whirled round her slip ping, arching feet, they had bil lowed and tossed, but now It was time foi them to sober down and take her to dine wltb an ogre. Not tbat Jenny felt In tbe least alarmed. She waa much more con cerned about Eddie, whom she was leaving to sit by himself for the first time since his accident. "Now you'll promise me faith fully," she said, ss she wrapped the Jade and silver shawl round ber shoulders, "that you won't get fussed It you bear anyone at the door. Because It will only be GUI. He's coming up every now and then to see If you want anything." "I have an Idea he came In and went out again a moment ago, when you were cavorting around. I heard the door close." "1 didn't hear anything," dissent ed Jenny. She looked at the clock. "1 must hurry Georgle always says Mr. Matching likes people to be punctual so that ha can keep them waiting longer." He accompanied her to the door of the apartment and there his cheerful air vanished. "How would It be If I were Vo come down wltb you?" ha suggested wistfully. "1 could wait In the ball while Gill gets you a taxi and then I could alt wltb him a bit." "Do, If you'd rather," agreed Jenny at once. But she stifled a sigh. She had hoped that he could take this first step towards recov ery; It would have heartened him aa mucb aa her. She met bis gaze, however, wltb a determined smile. His cuts and bruises bad healed with exceptional quickness; except for one long strip of sticking-plaster be bore now no trace no eiternal trace of the accident. He looked so big, so healthy; only his eyes be .trayed him they were frightened, the eyes ot a man who slept badly. who could not any longer distin guish between sleep and waking. "No, I'll stay up here," he decided unexpectedly. "I've got t,o make a start, haven't I? Why, Georgle might be back tomorrow! It 1 get along all right by myself tbls eve ning, 1 shan't be ao mucb of a wreck." "You won't be a wreck at all," Jenny encouraged him. "You'll Just be having a holiday from your Job and tbat might happen to anybody, even to Georgle! I'll run off then. I shan't be late." She waved her hand and left him watching her until she turned the band In the atalrcase. Her spirits were soaring at bla sudden new strength. She knew, because for three long days she had compan ioned and guarded him, what an ef fort It bad cost him to face the empty apartment ot bis own free will. Poor, dear old Eddie! Ha was only such a abort way on tha road to health and there was so little time It be were to be able to pass muster with Georglel "Jen!" She pulled up, staring. There on tha staircase below ber waa Georgia. Jenny cried out In sur prise and dsxhed down towards her. "Georgia! How splendid! You said you couldn't be back until later In the week, so ha Isn't expect ing you yet" She looked with a rush ot timidity Into her cousin's face Georgle, who hadn't seen Eddie at his worst, might not realise how Improved he was. "He's not himself yet, ot course, but I think he haa done wonders " "There didn't seem very much wrong with him when ha waa watching you dance Just now," said Georgle. Jenny clutched at tbe fringe ot the Jade shawl. She could not find any words, she could only stand dumbly and wait for what thla strange, frowning, strident Georgle might choose to say.
