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."
