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

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

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

ought to try It on; see If alterations
were needed. It was absurd to own

and not even know them by sight!
She pulled open the wardrobe-

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

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

asked and found that he was ask
