KISSES 'CO 0111" Eddie continued, "Axed up a room for me with this old loul ugliest old figure-head you've ever seen but darn good sort and Jenny comes for me every morning and returns me at ten every night. "And I guess I'll stay on with her while you're finishing things of with the Old Man and maybe help ing to find someone to take your place. "And then" he drew a deep, unsteady breath and his hand tripped Georgle'e fiercely under the gay little cloth "then you shall make me a home on what we can crape together between us. I'm not proud about using your savings as well as my own. And we'll live on inythlng we can beg, borrow or re move and convert to our own ends; tnd you shall burn an omelette a week until Jenny shows you better." She played nervously with her lood, then railed at hereof for a her bodily away to his home ui bread and cheese and kisses. "I can give you a decent sort of a life," be said. "You and I, girl, don't need a lot of trappings. We love each other." She found that she was trembling. "Oh, Ed, don't forget that, everl that I love you as much as you love me!" "Then you'll throw over the Job, Georgle?" She trembled so that she bad to grind out her cigarette half smoked and bold to the edge of the table. "No, I can't. Not yet Not till well, not till I've saved more money." For ber life's sake, she could not have admitted her empty coffers. "Then then, perhaps. If you've got a Job. And If we needn't scrimp and scrape too much. If" "If and If and If! There are too many Its about It, girl. You're cheat ing me and yourself, too." "No oh no, I'm not. But I can't be poor!" "Not even with me?" She could find no words. Sbe could only stare up at Eddie, the big man towering over her. "Not with me, OeorgleT You never meant to be poor with me at all?" Still she was silent "If ynu never meant to be poor 'If you never meant to bt poor with me, Georgle, what did yeu marry , mo for?" fool and began to eat steadily. "The longest speech I've ever heard you make," (he said. "You seem to have thought It alt out, darling. Only, from your own point of view." Eddie began to speak but checked himself. After a tew more mouth- tula ot baked egg, he asked abrupt ly- "Did yon know that people think that people have been told it was Jenny I married?" "Oh, you mustn't deny it!" Then, . realising that she had betrayed her self, sbe added "Surely, so long as the Old Man keeps to that rldlcu- lous rule of his, It's better that we should pretend anything! You see, Eddie, I can t give up my Job. Not at any rate for a bit" He pushed bis chair away from the table and tilted to and tro on It, the old scowl on his face. "Would you have given It up," he asked, "it I had gone to Mexico nd come back again to fly here?" ; She, too, abandoned the unhappy little dinner. She lit a cigarette. : "I'm' beginning to tblnk you wouldn't, Georgia." ' "What on earth Is the good of arguing about what might have hap pened? You aren't going to Mexico now and jolly sick the Old Man la about It He recommended you to Garth Aveney himself and be ays there's no one else he" : "Never mind the compliments. I'm beglnulng to think you never in tended to give up your Job when I got back and that you don't In tend to give It up now." "Eddie, what are we to live on If 1 dot" i To her surprise he had an an swer. "Not so very much less than we should have bad If I hadn't lost my nerve. There's our savings" he did not notice her confusion, "and I shall collect a bit from one little Insurance and another; and I shall find a Job. I'm nearly all right again, you know; Jenny has pretty well cured me, bless ber little heartl I don't say I can give you anything like the good time you've been used to these last few years, but I can give you" His voice roughened and she feared that he was going to take her into his arms and carry I TAILSPIN TOMMY An Air Of Expectancy!

The ticking ot the little clock filled the kitchen. The sound ot It helped Georgle to clear her mind. It reminded her ot the clock In her own- room at the great Matching hoadquarters away downtown. Thi other clock was more Impressive, of course, encased In aluminum in stead ot battered nickel; but It had the same stammer In its tick, coupled with the same hurry. She closed her eyes and at once, In her Imagination, she was In her die oreet, important room with Its tele phones and Its flies, and Its frosted glass door panels thnt showed ber her nnme reflected in reverse. "Mist Revell. Private." With hep eyes still shut, as though not to lose the vision of the room, she tried to state her point of view. "Do listen to me, Eddlel There's something 1 want you to get once and for all and It's this. When I said I'd marry you, I may or I may not have put you second to my Job. But when I was actually stand ing up beside you In that room, tak ing you for my husband before all those people, I knew that you came first." "Well, then, girl sweetheart " "No. No wait!" she opened her eyes and got up, moving away from him until the table was between them. "You hadn't had that acci dent, then. You were fit and strong and and well-known, with a won derful future" His face whitened. "I told Jen you wouldn't have any use for me now." "That's not what I'm saying!" she cried passionately. But there was a cold breath in her heart. Wasn't It true that the old thrill ot him had vanished, only to return when he hold her and klsBed her and looked vital and big? What did she feel tor him when be clung, terrified, to a wlndow-curtaln while something clattered In the street below? Pity, perhaps , , .
