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

by pricing it so high; before sbs
had spoilt marriage by haggling
over It; before she had chosen
clothes and glitter and good times
Instead of the little house where
she would make the curtains and
Eddie would mow the lawn. . , .
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!

wool growers are going to ruin that
reservation.
Tbe Indian's testimony also brought
out the fact that enormous sum of
trloal funds were used In building
roads throughout the reservation tor
the direct benefit of these lumber
companies. Roads tbat were not
beneficial to the Indians and were
not wanted, yet were paid for out of
Indian funds.
Another waste of tribal funds is
shown In this paragraph written by
John Collier, executive secretary of
American Indian Defense association.

than any other In the Indian bureau
system for Its extravagance and un

worth 180 an acre. It is partially
waterlogged through the omission of
