White roses for little Miss Jenny, ehT Pity there aren't blue roses, to match your gown. Blue and white, you're all blue and white today. And last night you were all sliver." Jenny sat again beside the huge bed, but now It was afternoon and the could see her strange old friend - more clearly. "I told you I'd have something rem like waiting for you next time you came," be rasped, with an al most childish satisfaction In the irmful of flowers he had given her. "And I was right, wasn't I? No Bhocolates and Ices and fans for rou, little Miss Jenny? flowers very time. And I knew you'd come too. I knew you'd come." "If there'! dirty work to be done at the cross-roads, you should do II yourself." ' "I began to be afraid this was the wrong time of day, though. I had such trouble In Inducing your ser vants to let me see you." The rasping voice rose to a Kj ueal. "I'll dismiss the lot of them, the Idle, Incompetent hounds! I'll no, wait, maybe thoy didn't get my mes sage that you were to be admitted IX any time, at once! It was that valet fellow I gave It to, and then later on In the night I sent him packing. You said you didn't truBt him. Remember?" "But you didn't dismiss him bo nus ot anything I said?" "I'd bad my suspicions ot him for long time. It was he, I don't doubt, who sold the Mexican estimates to the Oortens group. You don't fol low that, eh? Never mind, your sousln will, no doubt. Yon can tell her It you like." Jenny pondered. All she could gather was that there was some thing about estimates that ha want td Georgle to know and that he was hlrklng the Job ot telling her him self. She shook her head at him, dim pling. Ha really was so absurdly Ilk grandfather! there's dirty work to be done at the cross-roads," she declared, "you should do It yourself." "You pretty, pert thing I There's spirit In you!" "I'm Oeorgle's cousin," she re minded him. It had struck her be fore as Inhuman the way he never mentioned Georgle. "Yes, stuff of a kind In her, too," he agreed. He gave his familiar wriggle and lay flat He looked more than ever like long gray slate-pencil. "She showed it all right the other night, didn't she? You know about that, ot course, the little trap we laid for her, my young nephew and I?" "No, I don't know. Mr. Matching, tell me!" "Nothing very Important Just a little trap we laid to see it she would sell my nephew a business secret And she wouldn't "You mean," stammored Jenny, "that before she knew he was your PLANES AT PORT HERE Ha turning to Lot Angeles from Marsh field, where they participated In the air carnival atatrtxl time, over the fourth, a Fokker Universal and ft Waco P plane stopped at the local airport to refuel yesterday.

Oh, why didn't I think ot that ex planation for myself?" "You modern young people," grumbled the ugly old voice from the bed, "you never think of any thing for yourselves that I can dis cover! You have to be told the simplest truths and then you don't believe them." He rapped her hand smartly to recall her attention. "You don't believe what I have Just said, I suppose, do you now?" Yes, Jenny believed him. It was already difficult to understand bow she had come to believe anything else. She must have what Ryder Vale had called an "Inferiority com plex." A profound conviction that no one who knew Georgle could ever possibly have eyes for Oeorgle's cousin. Even now "When your nephew spoke to you about me he did speak to you about me? are you sure that he meant me, really? You see, it's so much more Ilkoly that he would be would be Interested In Georgle." "Much, much more likely I " Jeered Oratton Matching. ' He rapped her hand again. "Now, you'll have to run away; I've got a lot of people coming to see me. Two doctors and a lawyer" The blank eyes that were yet to bright searched hers, but she could not read their riddle "You'll come again tomorrow and there'll be blue (lowers for you." "No, tomorrow It's my turn to give you something," lnslstod Jenny, She had In her mind's eye the Jars ot sticky sweets In Mrs. Blgger'i window; probably he would like those round brown ones with blue and red bands. She rose, gathering up her flowers, and smiled at him. He did not smile back. He Just lay and raked her face with those bright blank eyos. Thon, as her hand was on the door, he suddenly ground out: 'You make It up with that young blockhead ot mine and be quick about It Who's this actress he's running round with, eh? I've told him I won't have It I've no use for a woman with green finger-nails and then there's this nonsense ot yours about marrying my pilot Muddle and waste, all of It." "You mean Brlgltta Deorlng?" But he would not say clearly what he meant "You haven't wished me good by," he grumbled. She went back to the bed, bent over him and kissed him on the forehead. When she was again at the door, she looked back and saw that his oyes were closed. She made her own way out ot the house, glancing as she went at the olosod doors that lined the corri dors. Behind one ot them Georgle sometimes worked. Jenny had only once seen Georgle at work, but she had never forgotten her Impres sion ot competent, balanced, tireless koennoss. Miss Revell, In her dark, tailored dress, groomed to perfec tion, was a different being from the Georgle who rioted In extravagance, grabbing every last gleam ot gaiety from life. And since one couldn't agree with that riotous Georgia, couldn't beat down her solflshncss, why not appeal to Miss Reroll? At worst she would speak Into s house telephone and one would b firmly shown the door. . , . (fopvrloM, Julia Clett-Aidame) Otorgls'l hipplntis, or her own Jsnnls mutt ohoosa tomorrow.
