FRTDAT, JUNE 2i, 1932. 1Y ou Cant Marry fry urta Clet SYNOPSIS: 8i.da.nlu rcliiruiiiu Aome run a 6usiiiei trip, ucurpie ?vll roumeend find Acr cotnlit, Tenni. lafclitl cur of Eddie, Oiorgle'e huAband. who i recov ering from a nervoue breakdown. Jenny te in love with Garth Ave ney. the neohew of aeorgle'e em- tloyer, who cMeeti't know Oeoroie v pretending that Jenny married Eddie. Chapter 25 SCORCHING ANGER "f 80PPOSB you r going to the Old Man's 'o dinner?" Qoorgle laid. "Yes , . . Old you coma Into tbe apartment Just now and and (o out again?" Jenny asked. "Two seemed to be company" "How dare you, Georgia!" And then "Ob, we can't ba quarrelllngl It's too tantastic, when h hat been counting the hours till ha es you again I you must ba tired or Tory unhappy to let yourself speak II to this!" Jenny's face was quivering and tow Georgia's, too, broke up and twisted her smile Into a pathetic thing. "Yea, I'm sorry. Yes, I'm tired and I'm unhappy, too. Don't hate me, honey, not anyway until we've talked this business out. Run along now, and atand up to the old derll all you can, ha aeams to like It. Oh, and, Jenny, It you should meet Garth Aveney at Rochester Gate you remember tha man I mean? take most dead ly cara not to breathe a word about Ed and me. You'll probably Ond out why lor yourself Jenny went on down the stairs and Into the taxi which Gill had summoned (or her and as she went sh aald to herself over and over again "Georgia's tlrad and un happy; people don't know what they're aaylng when they ara vary tired and unhappy." The taxi lurched along to tbe tuna ot it. "People, don't know what they're aaylng" But they aught to knowl Georgia ought to know that there wera things one limply never, never allowed one salt to Imagine! Jenny'a hot, sud len anger scorched her again. The anger did not last. Little Mlae Georglna had learnt many useful lessons with grandfather. It never was wise, aba bad learnt, to ba angry because others did things that, oneself, one would never do. Peopla were different. Jenny waa lenny; Georgia waa Georgia. Jenny'a aora mind went back to tha night when Georgia had said "At a pinch I could say that It was you Eddie married, not ma." Some thing coarse-grained In the Mature that planned tha tolling of such a lto! Perhaps; but Jenny'a curved hand slipped between two tolda ot frosty silver-green there waa so much else to remember. Georgle gave and gave and never had enough of giving; when she chose a silver frock for a little cousin, aha did It royally, with a laugh and a kiss. 8he woke up to the fact that tha taxi bad stopped aid she burrled out. Tha high, dark-fronted house teemed familiar to her after Georgle'a intimate chatter about tha old man who ruled it; but Jenny waa not prepared tor the beauty ot tha ball. Georgle had aald nothing about tha gleaming floors and tha softly hanging East ern silks and tha silvered lights. At Jenny went under them In tbe wake of a grave butler, tbe felt at . though the wera a awan, swim ming In a silver lake. Perbapa tha looked Ilka one at aha entered tha big, glittering room at tha end ot tha ball, for her boat ttared at her through sud denly narrowed eyes, faintly smil ing, and teemed to forget that he had apologlea to make, and ex planations. Jenny's heart tumbled suddenly, atopped, then went on. "Mr. Matching isn't here yet?" aha asked. Garth Aveney collected himself. "I'm sorry, I should have told you at once he't not well enough to dlna with us. Later on, If It wouldn't bora you, ha would very much Ilka to aee you upstairs." "I didn't know that ha was ill." Jenny aat down weakly. "Ha Isn't 111 exactly. But ha has had an exhausting trip and be Isn't robust. Ha forgets that be It an old man." "Perhaps ha doean't feel old, In hit heart." "I've never before heard anybody uggest that he'd got one. "You'll have a cocktail?" Jenny shook her head, then re membered that Georgle had told her It was babylsb, nowadays, to rofuse, and took a little Ice-cold glass from tha tllver tray a footman held be fore her. "Don't drink It," said Aveney qui LI E A. I. Cog gin, manager ot tha California-Oregon Box and Lumber com piny of Ashland, announced yea Wrday that twenty additional men have "been given work this week With th aawmlU operations started. With tha lawmtll opening, It will automatically atart logging opera tion! tn the Dead Indian and Sis kiyou mountain d la trie U. he stated, which will probably allow tha em ployment of about thirty additional workers. The company's box factory opened several weeks ago, end about twenty aica were put to work tliea. - Addami etly, as the man left the room. "You'll dislike It. Besides, it's not your pose." She looked up at blm, flushing deeply. No doubt, he wat making fun of her, though there was no sign of It In hit face. He stood wltb one shoulder against a high, carved mantel, his slenderness emphasized by the brightly panelled walls be hind him. His face wat bait In shadow; and the remembered that In her dreamt ot blm, It wat always like tblt that the saw him wltb bis wide shoulders and elender blpi and long, Idle hands all clearly cut against the light, but bit face hid den In shadow. "I am wondering whether you will tell me something," he aald, from out of his shadow. "Yes, what Is It you want to ask?" "Why did you have yourself an nounced as 'Mist Revell'?" Jenny tought In vain for an an swer. He bent down and removed tha little glast which the waa atll! clutching. 'I shouldn't have thought that yon wera that tort." "What sort?" manage! Jenny. "The tort that Insists on being modern though married. Th Brlgltta Deering type. Or Is It somt league that makes you take a pledge never to ase your husband"t namel Anywty, lt't a movement. And thouldn't have tbought that you would belong to It" "I don't," aald Jenny. "Then why?" "I forgot. I mean, I torgot that I am aupposed to be 'Mrs. Townsend', It It a lucky chance that Mr. Match ing Isn't here." But the explanation did not appear to satisfy him. He repeated "supposed to be" and laughed. A door In tha panelling opened, A footman atood rigidly by It, wait ing. Garth Aveney shrugged and turned. . "Shall wa dine?" Her mind raced at she preceded him Into tha smaller room, on tha other aide ot tha bright panels and tha silent servants. Why bad he shrugged like that, as though be despised her? Surely he could not think that It mat site who had mar ried Eddie? Surely ha must hare guessed, when bit uncle ordered him to play host to 'Mrs. Townsend,' exactly what bad happened He must have assumed that Georgle, whom he knew to be In love with Eddie ('He ought to thank his stars for you!'), had covered her mar riage by making use of her cousin's Identical name. Aveney tooted hlmsolf opposite her and began to talk, easily and brilliantly. All about Mexico, where, apparently, he liad been for many years. "Mexico?" sue repeated, catching timidly at the name, "Eddie wat to have gone there. But 1 don't believe he will over be able to, now." "I'm sincerely sorry to bear It I waa to have met him this week, but 1 understand he's not allowed to see anyone." "I don't think he will fly again I'm afraid not I didn't know that you wanted to sea him." "You knew, surely, that he was to have returned to Mexico with me? I'm taking a pilot ond observer back with me. He didn't tell you?" She thook her head. No, the bad not been told. Georgle, now the cama to think of It bad explained very little. Her thoughts went con fusedly back to her problems. Sup posing she had been mistaken from the first and Georgle had never fully explained to this man, either? She might after all, have tent him away without saying a word ot Eddie. Then then It would look as though the, Jenny Revell, were, a very aordld type ot creature, Indeed; a girl who flirted languidly with one man while tha waa waiting to be married to another. A girl who made a "date" to go motoring when her husband ot a day was 111 and In need ot her. A girl who would not take her husband's name or she. ttared down at her bare hand ot wear hit ring. "You're not eating anything at all," aald Aveney. She chose one ot tha questions that were milling through her mind jd, haltingly, put It "Wat It waa It your uncla who told you that I wat tha Georglna Revell who" Who had married Townsend! Ha nentloned It, certainly. In fact he baa been talking quite a lot about you. But I rather fancy that 1 got the news In the first place from youi cousin." From Georgle! And you believe! her?"
