PAGE SIX You Can t Marry by Julia Clefl-Adaami SYNOPSIS: Buddenlu Jenny Revell discover through Oration Hatching that hit nevhea, Ave ney, may lava her instead of her cousin Georgie. Jennv hae been prevented Iron seeing Avenev be ' cause she is posing as Eddie Toumsend's vi(e. so that Oeorgie, who has married Aim, can keep her lob. . Chapter SI TURMOIL OF CHOICS JTEADILY, once out ot the IIent 3 houae, Jenny's feet took her town the street. Biie telt like J walk: ar4 after I o'clock, when the department itaffa had left the Duiiding, sne would be able to see Mlsa Revell and put before her this heart Ihaklng matter of Garth Avener. Heart-shaking Juat that. When be had talked to her In the park, when he had asked her to go Into the country with blm, It was not because he wanted to forget Georgie but because be wanted the company of Jenny Revell and none other; at any rate for the moment The shy, joyous thought halted. What about Brigltta DeerlngT Oeorgle said he waa going to marry Brigltta. Old Mr. Matching feared It, too. Even If he wasn't going to, he must surely admire her. She was so beautiful. Jenny's steady ateps had faltered with her thoughts. She turned Into a little tea-room and sat down. Over the dainty food thatWM presently sot before her, she brooded, wrapped In her problem. Even If It had never been Georgle, for Garth Aveney, what signs were there that It had ever been Jenny? "How do I know that he truly cares. In the way that I care for hlrar' She had very little reason to think It, answered her honesty. Very little. Indeed, was there for hope to feed on. Yet, with only that very little, she was going to make Georgie lose her Job. She left the tea almost untasted In the end, paid her bill and walked on. Her choice was so clear. To gamble on a chance of happiness or to let Georgie keep her Job. Georgia's future or hers. Only one little sugar-plum on tbe cake, and no knife to cut It with. The pavement were hot, aching ly hot to tbe feet. Her mind went back to the days when she had hunted work. A nightmare, that had been; a memory so terrible that that usually she thrust It back. First five dollars between her and lark nothlngneas; then two dol lars then one, then fifty cents. And then, when there was nothing loft but to sit at an attto window and watch how the sparrows on the leads fought over the bread that was juat beyond reach ot her shak ing arm then Qeorglel Food, warmth, rest, and the heavenly : shelter of Georgle's care. And now she was going to take away Georgle's Job, In case Garth Aveney waa Interested to know just who It waa who had married Eddie Townsend. Jenny turned a corner. A clock told her that by now Matching House would be empty of all but the Important few. ' She walked Into the huge, marble hall and bearded aecre- W7 who iookbq maroiea, too. ' "Will you ask Miss Revell It she can see me for a moment? I've no appointment, but I'm her cousin." The man dealt lackadaisically with a house-telephone. "Mrs. Townsend?" he asked presently. "Miss Revell asks par ticularly If It's Mrs. Townsend?" Jenny hesitated, flushing. "Mrc. Townsend or not, please?" napped the porter. "Yes," said Jenny reluctantly. "The name yes I am Mrs. Town lend." There was a step behind her. Be fore she turned, she knew who It would be. "Yon want to see Miss Revell of coursel" said Garth Aveney. "I'll take you up to her, shall I? It's rather a complicated routs. The levator's Just here." She went with him dumbly. He looked cool and laiy In his soft gray flannels; as he guided her Into the elevator his eyes held that faint laughter that mocked and withheld, "I'm afraid our aecretary can bo rather alarming," he said. "He's had a number of applicants today for Jobs In a new department and ha has got a hit above himself. , . , How Is your husband V She started. "Do you mean Eddie?" "Of course, I mean Eddie." "Eddie la I don't know how he Is. He has gone away." The elevator topped. She stopped Into the long, dim, corridor at the end ot which, ahe remembered, was Georgle's room. "Do you employ married women ever?" she ven tured desperately, not daring to turn to him as he walked at her ahoulder. FOR BONUS CASH PORTLAND, Ore, July 7. (If) Portland Poet No. 1, American Le gion, has adopted a resohitlon favor ing immediate payment ot the veter ans' adjusted service compensation certificates and endorsing the pres ence of the bonus army In Washing ton, D. O. The post also has Instructed Its delegate to the stat convention, to be held here September 10, to take a similar stand on the bonus ques tion. The post took the position tfiat Immediate payment of the bonus not only would aid the veterans but also wild benefit atagnant business and iBtKlM credit "Want a Job?" All the old laugh ter hid In his voice, "If I did aud it I were competent, would you give me one?" "I should be charmed, personally, but I couldn't give you one here. It a girl, here, marries, she goes. Hasn't your cousin told you? "Yob, but I thought perhaps there might be an exception. Surely It Georgie married" "For heaven's sake, don't suggest' such a catastrophe! She's piloting me through the stlffest week of my life, and I gather It's nothing to what lies ahead, now my uncle Is handing over to me almost entire ly." "If he Is handing over to you, haven't you the power to to make an exception?" He drew level with her and they faced each other at the door let tered with "Hit; Kevell. Private." "I'm afraid not Not that kind of power, so long as he lives. Even Miss Revell" His eyes flickered quizzically towards the discreet shining door. "Even she would have to choose between what do they call It? love and a, career? 'Let's hope she chooses the career, every time!" " "Yes, I see." "And I don't think I'd better promise to get you a trial anywhere else, because so many people ask me to pull strings that I've had to stool myself to a firm refusal all round. You see why, don't you?" . "Yes. I see." "Then good-bye!" "Good-bye," he echoed. She watched him walk away. He was taking her whole lite with him and he did not guess It To him, she was Just a little fool, trying to wheedle a pocket-money Job out of a man she had once vamped. ' She stared after blm. One clear call would bring him back. "Georgie not I! It was Georgie, not I!" And then he would apologize and ask her to make merry at his wedding to Brigltta? Perhaps. There waa no reading the riddle of him. The only thing that was cer tain waa that Georgie, who had taken her from that terrible attic, would be repaid by losing her job. "Good-bye," whispered Jenny again. She opened the door and slipped through. Without any emo tion, she realized that ahe had de cided; or perhapa her decision had been made long ago'. Deep under the turmoil ot choice, It had per haps always been Inevitable that she should stand by Georgie. Loyalty and gratitude, these things mattered enormously. These were the things, then, that ahe chose. Good-bye, whispered her heart to that other, that wild, sweet chance. In her dreams she might see love, with shadowed face; but In her waking days, nover. Georgie waited impatiently tor Jenny to come In. She could hear her voice In the corridor and then Aveney's. "Doing the polite, I s'pose," she thought "Good Job the Infant Isn't smitten with him, It seems certain he'll be the Deerlng woman's next." l' She paced the long, splendid room, running a hand through -tier hair, lingering before the high win dows. She had had a heavy day and ahe was uneasy about the eve ning. She was to dine and it had been an unusually worded Invita tion. "Come along lnt" ah exclaimed when at last the door opened and Jenny appeared. "As It happened I was going to ring yon up when they said you were downstairs. I'm din. tag out Jen Just a chop some where with a man I know, so I needn't come back to change. You go to bed early and get a good rest You look awfully pale." Jenny smiled and Georgle'f con cern sharpened. It was the very ghost of a smile. "You look simply ghastly I What Is It, honey? The heat?" "Oh yes, I suspect so. But I'm not 111. I'll go home." "But why did you come? What did yon want to see me about?" Color stained Jenny's cheeks. "Oh well, I thought" She broke off, then hurried Into speech. "Mr, Matching I went to see him this afternoon, Georgia, and he told me that he has dismissed that valet who always reminded you ot a mole." "I know he has." Georgle's vole was curt "Yes, but Mr. Matching said that In his opinion It waa that man who sold soma estimates or other to some one. Mr. Matching said you would understand. Do you? He asked me to let you know. I don't know why he didn't speak about It himself." (CopyrtpM, Julie Cteft-Addams) The doctor rovoalt the eontplmey ho hat planntd agalnit Qoorglo, tomorrow.
