Jenny mull keep , Oeorgie'e tecret, though the love Areney. who betieret Jenny hat ben farting Kith him. Chapter 26 "WHAT FRIGHTENED YOU?" IT had (lipped out almost without ber knowing It He shrugged again. "Oh, but whjr nott After all, you bad said you were leaving ber aoon . . . You don't remember Baying that?" Yes, she remembered It. She bad meant aomethlng Tery different, but, now, It titled fiendishly Into bla disdain of ber. Everything seemed to be fitting In except that one strange cry of bis to Oeorgle: "He ought to tbank his stars for you!" Whoever that bad been aald of, It could not have been said of Eddie. Garth Aveney was Ignorant of what lay between Georgia and Eddie Townsend. He had never guessed and be did not guess now. And Jenny could not tell him, because of her promise to Georgle. . "You look depressed." He was leaning slightly towards her. The servants had left the room, the short, perfect dinner was nearly "I suppose," said Jenny wildly, "that BrlgltU Deerlng will be there?" "I'm hoping so, Jenny Revell. She la very lovely. Isn't she?" He came a step nearer. "But not as lovely aa you are, standing there hating me. You hate me, don't you, ior finding you out!" "Not for that," said Jenny, her Hps oddly stiff. "I do bate you, but I can't tell you why, yet." He came nearer still. His arm brushed hers. The delicate haze of the cigarette lay upon them both. "More explanations, Jenny?" "I will never forgive you," she, whispered. "When you understand, you'll have that to endure, too that I will never forgive you!" 'Well, and I'll never forgive you, so we can stop moralizing. It you want to go up to the Old Man, Jenny, I am not, you know, preventing you. I am not holding you here yet" He was not holding her but she gasped as ahe wrenched herself out of the charmed circle; faint, sweet base and Intoxicating nearness She found herself walking rap Idly across the huge drawing-room and out Into the hall. Presently the butler was at her side and conduct ing v r up the biggest staircase that she bad ever seen. At a bend, she - -.red down. For a "You ire Insulting" Jenny pushed done. "I wish you wouldn't You played aucb an amusing game with me, quits slick and clever why can't you take a hiding with a amlle? After all, I was bound to find you out, wasn't I? I agree it's a pity t found you out before we bad our day together; but you were gam bling a bit with me there, really you were!" Ha raised his alasa to her and for the first time he deliberately touched her his hand covered hers. "I drink to you, Jenny Revell. To the cleverest little ramp I've ever met!" 1 . She (elt as she bad when Georgia had turned upon her, aa though the words aha beard were blows. She shrank away from them la panic ant then suddenly and furiously she - was on her feet, his hand thrown aside and bis glass overturned be tween them. "I wish to go home. You are In sulting yon your opinion of me Oh, I'm not like that!" She pushed away frpm blm, blinded with tears. "Even If I can't explain yet you should not think such things of me!" "Explain? Jenny, Is there any explanation you can honestly give?" She caught her breath on a sob. He, too, had risen. He looked quite different No laughter now, but an agar sterness-ah, he couldn't be Indifferent to her If ha could look Ilka that! If she aald quit simply. "It waa Georgle, not I," what would ahe sea In his eyes? If be believed her, what would ahe? If! He waa smiling again, eool and detached. Searching in a thin case for a particular cigarette. "No, on second thoughts, don't let's have any explanations, Jenny. They're boring things and often ao painfully unconvincing." "I should Ilka to go home." "Without aeelng the Old Man? Now, there you hare a conquest A real one." She held fiercely on to ber resent ment When Georgle had permitted her to speak, aha would hurt him for this. For every separate cruelly, she would hurt him. "Are you aura Mr. Matching wants to see me?" "He was most Insistent If you'll excuse me, though, I'll send you up to him under other escort than mine. I'm due to meet Vale and a party at the Crescendo." away from him, blinded with teara second she thought that Garlb Ave ney watched her go; then she was sura thst she had been mistaken. Anyway, It was of no Importance. When Georgle allowed her to speak, she would speak once and forever. After that, she need never see him again. She bad ao often listened to Georgle'a stories of this part of the house, that aha was not aurprlsed by It as a stranger would bare been. Here was tbe corridor where one's feet rang a warning bell; and here was the dim, strange room and the frail old form in the tent of a bed. She wondered It he would offer her a bag of sweets; she hoped not, she liked so few. "You've come, have you?" rasped the voice from the bed. "Eh? Well, you're a pretty thing In all that sil ver. Come hers and sit down. Quietly, It you can people can't be quiet nowadays." "I'm used to being quiet. Ara you 111? Or Just tired?" "What'a It got to do with you? You don't care how tired I get Too tired to carry on any longer, but I don't flatter myself anybody cares. Does my young nephew care? Not he! He steps into my shoes tomor row, tskes my place, carries on my work. His boss now, from tomor row. Answerable to me, but to ma alone." The grumbling voice rose and fell. "Well, what do you think of him? Eh? Think he'll shape?" Jenny, very troubled, quite unable to answer the unexpected question, turned her head and looked from one to the others of the strange things about her. Tha light waa concentrated upou the table near tbe bed, but ahe could make out a great deal ot rich, ahadowed carv ing and some big pictures In the sort ot frames that Grandfather had liked. Except for the bed, nothing In the room suggested a sleeping apartment It had much mora the air of an antique shopl She started suddenly. Something had moved In tha deepest shadow. 'What frightened you?" asked the old man In the bed. Apparently ha had not taken his eyes from her. "la there someone there?" (Cof-v-ioM. Julia Cleft-Addamt) "What's batwaan you and my Rraat-naphaw Avanfly?" Oratton latching aika Jtnny tomorrow.
