He knotvt that the t$ married to Eddie Towneend, though to keep her employer. Oration Matching, from discharging her, the hat let him believe that Jennie it Mre. Towntend. Garth Aveneu. Match tng'e nephew, betlevet Jenny it married. Chapter S7 WEDDING PRESENTS "itrAITER!" called Georgia. V. She shut the bag with a snap and straightened. A man nearby looked at ber admiringly, at her high color and her bright, amber gleaming eyes. She wondered what be would think If he knew that It was anger that made her look ber beet not the petty angera ot the last few days but that deep, proud, cold scorn that Is like a sword. "Walter!" Then, as he came hurrying to the table: "Get me a taxi And my bill." She added to Tallas without looking at him "When we got to Rochester Gate, you shall see Mr. Matching alone, be sure of that. I shan't Interfere In any way. And I'll tell my cousin what you said about her manners; It will amuse her." Even without looking at him she sensed bis stupefaction. His color was leaden and his mouth slack with the shock. "You must have been vary sure that you would succeed," she said, almost Idly, "I can t Imagine why. Perhaps you've never known what It Is to keep a job by sheer hard work win It and hold It and love It!" She threw back her head and laughed. "Why, you poor fool, It I were thousand times as selfish nd greedy and ambitious as I am a million times a million, mil lion times I wouldn't break faith with my Job!" By a flicker in his gaze, she knew that someone was standing at her lbow. She thought It was the waiter and held out her band for ber bill But "Wondered It there were any kind of difficulty, anywhere?" mur mured the cool voice ot Garth Aveney. She amine: round In her chair and looked up at him. He was al ways bard to read, but she was pretty sure that ha had not heard any part of the conversation. It was only that he had sensed trouble between ber and the man who had balf-rlsen from his chair on the op posite side of the table. She laughed again. She had sud denly realised that there would be no need for Tallas to go to Roch ester Gate. ''This gentleman," she said to Aveney, "has been trying to black mall ma because he has discovered that It was I and not my cousin Jenny who married Eddie Towns nd last Saturday. Ho was threaten ing to go straight to Mr. Match ing but It Isn't necesary Is It? now that you are here. I mean, you can accept my resignation from the Job here and now, can't youT And ot course, I'll soe the Old Man tomorrow, aftor you have broken It to htm. But I'm pretty certain that, secretly, he has known about It atl the time." "Look here," began Tallas, get ting nimbly to his feet, "there's no need whatever tor anyone to make scene" The rest of the pronouncement was amotbored In the scene that Immediately ensued; tor one man cannot throw another out of a city grill-room without making some alight commotion, some passing dis arrangement of tbe furniture and fittings. Still, Oeorgie was obliged to admit that the thing was neatly jdone. One moment Tallas was swag gering at the table and the next, Ihe was not near the table at all. -And the rest ot his exit was to match. . She sat quietly while she waited for Aveney to come back to her. She felt no emotion. She said to berself "I have lost my Job I" but It didn't seem to mean anything. Probably the full pain ot It would be with her by the morrow. At the moment, she minded more the peer ing curiosity of the other diners. The man who had glanced so ad miringly was getting oft the chair be bad mounted tor a better view. "And now," remarked Aveney, re appearing, quite collectively, at her aide, "perhaps you'll Just say It all at least twice more. I was never qnlck In the uptake. Especially the bit about Jenny." "Oh!" whispered Oeorgie. It was aa though a mist had cleared away between her and Garth Aveney. Behind his laiy courtesy, she had glimpsed some thing that she recognised as a deep, vita demand. In his eyee was a light that had been In Eddie's eyes -once. Before she had spoilt love AUTO CRASH STARTS GRASS, BRUSH BLAZE KLAMATH FALLS, July O. (AP) Mre. Kmaltno Rlgg or Oakland.

She dragged herself to ber feet. She was trembling. Go and ask Jenny," she com manded. "She's at home, quite alone. She'll tell you all you want to know. You see, I've got to go and find Eddie. Ob, bow 1 wish I knew exactly where he Is!" "He's at tbe airfield, he got a mechanic's Job there," aald Aveney, after a staring pause, "I was talking to him only this afternoon and he said he'd be on overtime tonight But look here, about your Job, my uncle " "I've lost It. There are no two ways about that And now I want to go and tell Eddie so. I can't talk to you tabout anything tonight" "We have a very heavy day Is front of us," said Oartb Aveney, slipping Into top gear and turning neatly out of Eyle Street "First ol all, we bave to go to a wedding bj a justice of the peace." "Oh, but I don't want I don'i like " Jenny's protest, half-bllsa ful, was drowned by his laughter. "You are a forward hussy. Thli la not your wedding, but Miss Brl gltta Deerlng'a. She la re-marrylni ber last husband, and as I havi been urging It for months, I am ti be a witness. You will wait outsidi in the car, unless the bridegroom drags you. In, too." "The bridegroom?" "Ryder Vale. You knew Vale wai Brlgltta'a last husband, didn't you? Jenny murmured aomethlng. II didn't seem very much to mattei what ' "And then," pursued Aveney, "we are going shopping. When we have bought you a ring, we have to buy you 24 birthday presents, and some silver string to tie them up with. No, I know It Isn't your birth day but It happens to be mine and In future we' are always going to celebrate the wrong birthday on the right day. You follow me, of course?" "And then?" "Then you have to find Oeorgie and Eddie and tell her she had no business to leave you all alone In that apartment all night, without a word of explanation. And then you have to come back to town to dine with the Old Man. And then" "And then It will be dusk," said Jenny, too softly for him to hear. "Tbe loveliest time of the day." His shoulder touched hers aa the car moved amootbly forward. Now they were slipping past Mrs. Dig ger's shop. Now they must he a distant distorted shadow In her copper urn. Now they were past Mini's and now they were In the Park and the golden day was tholrs. "Happy, my little sweetest heart?" "Happy . . ." Now they were apeedlng away from all loneliness and unhapplness for ever more. Now she was lovely and beloved and guarded and com panioned. A golden girl. "Happy, my girl?" In the circle of Eddie's arms Oeorgie stirred. "Yes, I'm happy." She moved so that she could see the dreary out look from the room In which they stood. "And I'm going to stay happy," she added, halt to herself. "Let's go house-hunting, my dear." "In a minute. Tell iri again what the Old Man said when you rang him up last night on the phono!" "He said 'A week off? For a honeymoon? Didn't I tell you never to lot me hoar of your getting married, Revell? Well, I can't break my rule, la that clear? You'll have to resign, No, no, you can't resign. No one else can ever hear what I say. I'll have to resign, myself, and you can work for me privately and Matching House can mind Ita own business for once! Anywsy, I guessed It was you Townsend had married!" "And you said" "And I said 'I would have liked It, sir, hut I don't think It's fair to my husband. He doesn't want me to work after I'm married.' And then he said he'd given me three years' salary for a wedding-present . , . So now we can go out Into the sun shine, Ed, and you won't trouble about the trafflo at all! Because now that I'm perfectly happy, you simply must be perfectly welll" He looked at her, adoration In bis eyes. And she stood there, tall and splendid and gallant, refusing to re member or to regret All that she had held so high was thrust bohlnd her for ever ahead was poverty and love. A golden girl!
