Oratton Matching nodded.
"Al! of them? All these heavenly

"Every one. Here, pick 'em np.

but I sent 'em back. 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.

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

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

nephew he tried to bribe hert It
It was a business matter? . . .
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. . , .
