Hhe inlenat to work tohue he recover train an accident, and ha$ pereuaded her eouein Jenny to vretend to be Ed die's wife, because her emnlouer would discharge Gearoie if he knew the wae married. "I Chapter SI HAGGLING OVER MARRIAGE DO love you," Georgia muttered. It ni as though ihe were pro tecting teem both, by aaying It "Jenny was aura you did," agreed Eddie, lie aeemed to accept Jenny as an authority on the matter and for once Qeorgle felt no twinge of Jealousy. She was relieved to and him so so simple. No halt-truths ever, with Eddie. Black or white, yes or no; take It or leave It. "It's simply and solely a matter of money," she hurried on. "You may say that we shan't have very much less, even If you can't fly any more. Lut supposing that little bit less Just turns being bard up Into being downright poor! Suppose It means that we can never take any risk or meet any adventure? We wouldn't go on loving, Ed. I've seen big money at close quarters and I know what It can do." "It can't buy happiness." "No. But It can buy freedom." "Of a kind." "It's the kind I need, then." "What are you trying to tell me, glrll" "That I love you. That I'll give up my Job to make a home for you; but sot yet." "Wbent" "When my savings are enough to make the difference between slavery and freedom. I mean, a reasonable freedom, Ed. I'm cot thinking any more of dinners and dances, 1 swear I'm not I'm thinking of the kind of life that will keep us In love with each other. I I want to be kept In love with you, alwaya." Eddie was looking curiously at her. For all his simplicity, tor all his take-lt-or-leave-lt directness, he was looking at her as though he understood ber better than she dared to understand herself. "What what Is It Ed dear?1 ' He roused himself and turned abruptly away. "It's nothing. I was Just thinking about what you've said. About what I suppose you'd call your point of view ... I'd better be getting along, I think." "Back to this craiy little room of yours?" Oeorgle laughed shakily. "I don't aee whyl Jecny can lodge there. It eLj doesn't want to stay at at hotel, and you can have your room here, as we planned at ftrst. I've squared QUI and and If people think you married the other Mlsa Revell, well, Jenny doesn't really mind. It'a a very convenient thing for them to think." She came close to him aa he stood with one band on "the door; she slipped her white. strong arms up bis shoulders, "Don't go," she whispered. ' His arms went round her and he held her for a moment In the em' brace she loved; roughly keeping her against him when she would ' have moved away, roughly kissing her Hps and her closed eyes. She was deaf to the hurrying stammer of the little clock; time was eternity, anyway, and all the old thrill and the old longing were flooding back Into her heart Then Eddie pushed her away and he aaw again the strange, consider ing look that wasn't a bit like Eddie. "I'm going," he said, "and never you mind where. Let's call tt Mexico and lot a say I shall be there tor a year. At the end of the year I'll he back from wherever It Is say, Mexico and we'll see what all thla saving and working of yours baa led to. It's what we should have done If I hadn't gone through that wind' shield and It'a what we'll do now.' She had won, all along the Una! Or or hadn't ahe? "No, but Eddie, we were to have been together here for a week be fore you went away I That'a why I " She had been going to say that that waa why ahe had bought elothea and furniture, In her wild extravagance. She changed It to "That'a why we got married on Saturday, aurelyl And we can have longer than a week, now. We can have aa long aa we like the whole year!" "You don't know me very well. Oeorgle, do you?" "Seems nod" (He waa really going, apparently; be was staring back at her from the threshold.) "I I honestly can't gra.ip why you should object to slaying here you needn't be my guest oh, Eddie, aren't we actualy going to aee each other for a year?" "Not unless you send me word that you've given up your Job. Jonny JACKSONVILLE GRANGE ?ri a. .. . . a ft S. at I 111 p mm in M ANN ASSEMBLY will know where to And me nl eep in touch with little Jen. You can't have everything you want, you now, girl, even If you are Mlsa Revell of Matchlng's. In fact, I'm sure that In the end you won't get- nothing." "What do you mean?" she cried. "You apoll things like marriage," said Eddie simply, "when you hag gle with them. At least, that's what think." From where ahe stood by the talle, she saw him reach tor hla hat and let himself out of the door of the apartment It was not until the sound of his footsteps bad quite died away that she remembered that he had aaid Jenny cornea for me every morning and returns me at ten every night" The little battered clock was n ear ing ten, but there was as yet no Jonny and Eddie had gone back to hla ridiculous room alone. Goorgle's hot deep color stained her face at her own forgettulness. Someone ought to have gone with him she herself ought to have cna with him. She started forward and ran to the door of the apart ment, then out to the landing. She leaned far out over the well, be cause he might be stopping to talk for a few moments with 0111. But there waa no sound of Eddie's voice and she could Just glimpse QUI lounging In the doorway of the building. She went back Into the kitchen and tidied and washed up and took oft Jenny's overall and went back to her own bedroom. The trous seau In the cupboard, she really ought to try It on; see If alterations were needed. It was absurd to own cupboardful of heavenly clothes and not even know them by sight! She pulled open the wardrobe- door and began to draw the lovely. acented tblnga up and down the rail on which they hung. How costly they looked! Tbe check she had given for them appeared aaiall when ahe remembered the sum still to be paid. And ahe had nothing at all to her credit in the bank; It would be months before she could have any. thing. As tor tbe savings she had spoken of ao emphatically Standing there, Angering the beau tiful clothes her vanity bad craved, she began to suspect that she bad been a fool with her money. Per haps now ahe was being a fool about Eddie aa well. Perhaps he was right and In the end she would get nothing . . , She slammed the wardrobe abut and mde for the living room. If Jenny didn't come In soon, she would ring up Vale and see whether he would not take her somewhere and dance. Jenny, sitting very straight In Gratton Matchlng's great black car, saw Eddie at the corner of Eyle Street The car had slowed at the corner and waited tbe policeman's per mission to turn Into Eyle Street; the policeman, a friend of Jenny's and Eddie's, waa trying to Induce Eddie to cross. "Come on now, sir," he called persuasively. "Here's a clear little bit of road and all you got to do la to hop across It." But Eddie's nervos had hopelessly departed. He leaned against a building and Jenny could see him shake his head, trying to grin. She had halt-opened the door of the car before she remembered the speaking-tube. Then "1 will get oui here, please," she directed hur riedly and, while the astonished chauffeur descended and moved to the door at the curb-side, she flung herself out of the opposite one and In a twinkling bad Eddle'a arm through hers. After hla first exclamation, he allowed her to pilot him across the street in their accustomed way; but when ahe turned with him In the direction of Mrs. Bigger' shop, he protested. "Now yon Just run off home," be commanded. "1 can manage a straight bit of pavement all right; It was the crossing that got me. That was all. You'll have to walk, I'm afraid. Your hearse -seems to hnte trundled on without you." She Inspected blra anxiously. He looked better, stronger. In spile of his recent fright; but he didn't look at all happy. Not In the least aa ahe had thought ha would look when Georgia was home at last "You know Qeorgle Is back?" she asked and found that he was ask ing the question cf her, word bj word. Involuntarily, they stopped and stood laughing. "Why aren't you with her?" ahe asked, when the quaint, companionable moment had passed. (Cor-irljjat, Julie CNI-Jidami) "Msy I tell Osrth Avtney that Sou msrrltrt Ittdltt" Jennie asks sorgia tomorrow.
