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

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."
