EIGHT You Cant Marry y v by Julia Cht-Addamt Jvtz SYNOPSIS: "Chooie beticeen ma and your lob," Hddie Tou'tt A'ltrf (a yd uls Georaiel To keep hit employer Iron aiecharg inn her at ho had threatened, should the marry the hat pre tended her cousin. Jenny, mar ried Eddie. Now that Eddie it nervt'thocked trotn an accident, the feelt the mutt keep up the de ception. Chapter 39 THE MOST SUBTLE ENEMY SHE! made a grimace at herself In her mirror and then, casually, her attention was caught by the beaut;' of the room reflected behind ; her. For a moment ebe was ab orbed In It, delighted, completely atlsfled. Everything else was swept (rom her mind. That ash-gray furniture, with Us touches of ebony, was perfect of Its kind. The peacock silk on the low bed gleamed, the lacs fell creamily, the door o( the huge ward robe slipped suddenly ajar as though It Invited her to see the frocks that Jenny had hung, each on , Its scented banger, upon the long, polished rail. With a gasp of pleas ure, Georgia rose, flung the cup board door wide, and ran the clothes up and down the rail, steeping her senses In the color and the toucn of them. Finally she chose a tea- gown of her favorite apricot In the dressing-chest she found tae lin gerie that matched It; and some where, she remembered, she bad dull gold, brocaded shoes . . Wlille she bathed and powdered and scented . herself, while she brushed her hair until It shone and tended her nails, she looked back at ber life and smiled. People said that she had showed courage and Initiative and endurance In her lob; but the truth was that these things came naturally to her and so she succeeded where others failed. No merit about that. But now she was fighting the most subtle enemy In the world her love for Eddie her own deep desire to follow him even to the world s end. . She would win. She was deter ' mined to win. She knew what was . best for Eddie, she thought; and what would keep their love alive ' and what would starve It slowly to death. She gave a final touch to her lips and swung out of her room; at the : other end of the little hall, the kitchen door stood open and she saw the remains of a meal. A home ly brown teapot, a loaf and big currant' cake stood on a cneckea table-cloth. . Georgia glanced In as she passed by and frowned. That expensive ser vant, eugaged by Jenny, ought to be In charge. She bad no business to go out at this time, with her work unfinished and a dinner to ' cook I Georgia's color was rising as she went Into the sitting-room. "You've been every one of the seven ages of man," was Eddie's greeting. He leaned against the window and she noticed that he was gripping the curtain In an odd way, and that he was pale; but she was full of her grievance. ' "Evidently that woman Jenny discovered Isn't competent!" she - exclaimed. "The only sign of her In the kitchen Is the relics of her din ner." ' "Woman? Oh, that cook-person! Eddie abandoned the curtains and alowly seated himself. "She was competent all right, but She got on my nerves. Too darn competent, like those nurses at the hospital- ao bright and cheerful th whole time. I nearly screamed." "Well, I hope that whoever took her place" "Jonny and I have been taking It, We thought It would save you money and she's a good cook, Jen is. She teaches me a bit every day, Had some of my cake?" Tour cake? That that stuff 1 the kitchen?" Georgle's astonish ment seemed to amuse him, for he laughed until his cbalr creaked I aympathy. "What Is that old wicker thing doing In here?" she demand ed, grimacing at It. "That's th kitchen chair!" . "Suits me. I keep slipping out of the new leather one." A difficult pause. Georgle's eyes were hurt and angry. Eddie's were halfclosed. - 1 - "Does Jenny'a cooking extend to any kind of evening meal?" she asked curtly. "Or do we manage , with bread and cheese while she has eight courses at Rochester Gate? "Good lord." Eddie pulled himself erect In the old chair. "I clean tor got! We've been having a midday dinner and a supper like they do In the country, but we've collected an emergency store In case you came home unexpectedly. There's a whole shelf of tinned things" , "Thanks, I'd rather not!" shrug- ged Georgle. "Not. at any rate, until I've been strengthened oy a cock tall!" She pulled open the cupboard door and stooped, peering. w don't seem to hare anything but Italy Would Turn Conquered Lands Into Farm Colony ROMS (API Italy Is stoking a new outlet In northern Africa for surplus population by colonising laud eelred from rebel tribes in ctrenalca.

Really, If Jenny Is going to play housekeeper, she must do It else where. I need someone reliable." She bed not meant to go so far, her own words bad carried her away; but she was prepared to stand by them. Jenny took too much on hemef, anyway . . , Eddie?" Was it possible that he bad not beard her? He was so mo onless. What's the matter " she whis pered. Eddie took his bead In his bands. "Nothing's the matter." He sound ed drowsy. "I get sleepy, suddenly, like this. When I get when 1 hear crash. Thought I beard a crash In the street just now." How odd" At a loss, she giggled and saw the blood mount to bis face. Then, feeling that she could bite out ber blundering tongue, she ran across to him and took bis bead In ber arms, cradling It gently. "You have forty winks, old darling, while I open all the emergency tins at once!" His Hps touched ber balr as she released him but when she looked back at the door, he was asleep. She went quietly back to the kitchen and pulled Jenny's overall over her apricot gown. It Jenny bad been here now, Georgle would have been particu lar sweet to her, given ber a present or something; for she was bitterly ashamed of the jealousy that had flared out In her against her little cousin. Bustling the re mains of the supper off the table, sbe began to bum softly. Wasn't this exactly what she had dreamed of doing showing Eddie bow easily the modern girl can run a home and Job at the same time? Come home at the end of a long day and toss a hot meal together might be out of the question for most; but she was strong and young and clever; she could do It Eddie should see! ' She Inspected the emergency stores and the cupboard. Generous ly, sbe admitted that It her dinner was a success she would owe It to Jenny, tor the body and substance of the meal were provided already. She decided that she would try an omelette. Half an hour later, flushed and anxious, she took oft the overall and found Eddie In the doorway. Woke to find the place dim with smoke," he grinned, unsympathetl cally. "Thought It was a Are until 1 remembered you were cook tonight. Can 1 do anything? Jenny showed me a first-class way ot making eggs." "Fortunately, she showed me once, too," laughed Georgle. "That's all we shall get I'm afraid the omelette begs to be excused. And there are some cheese-straws I've warmed up In the oven. And there will be some coffee I really can make that." 'Did Jenny show you?" I believe she did." Actually, It was Georgle who had taught, Jenny, but she was glad to make amends when she recollected ber attitude of superiority. "Sit down, Ed. Our first meal together." He drew a Jug ot drinking-water, which she had forgotten, and she tried hard to banish the picture of Jenny and him facing each other over this little chocked table-cloth In Just this Informal way. No doubt he had laid the covers and drawn the water and placed the chairs and Jenny had whipped the dishes out ot the oven, and urged him to help himself . . . She forced her mind back to reali ties. She was Eddie's wife, she was Georgle Townsend and Jenny-i-well, It she really would take a salary as their housekeeper and put her baok Into the work. It would certainly solve a good many problems. "D'you mind It I take my coat off?" Eddie was asking. "It's hot In here. And I've got Into the way ot It ever since Mrs. Bigger told me that It flustered her to see a man sitting with his coat on In the eve ning." "Who on earth Is Mrs. Bigger?" "My landlady. Sbe baa a shop." Georgia pullled herself together. Oh, opposite that hotel where Jenny is staying?" "She's back here, now. Sbe baa the roon you got ready for my dresslng-voom." He met her gaze suddenly "It 1 hurt your feelings Just nov when I spoke about your job wll ' old Notching, I'm truly sorry, R .'1. I know, by what Jenny has told ma, how you slaved to make this place ready tor me. But you wouldn't think me anything of a fellow It 1 were to take up my quarters In that pretty little room and .list live on your bounty; you wouldn't honestly." (Copyright.
