'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

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

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

to Garth Aveney himself and be

: "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

with me, Georgle, what did you
marry me for?"
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 , , .
