YOU MARRIED MY PILOT"
 Hes upstairs, yes, the doctor said. Miss Revell has told you, of course, what his trouble is?"
 "Yes,7 said Jenny That is, she told me there was bad news about him. She didn't give me details"
 "Oddr7 sneered the doctor. And neither of you at home to take charge of the poor chap Or per- haps ne doesn't live here, really? Though I remember Miss Revell mentioned she was getting the apartment ready for you and your husband"
 T don't think" said Jenny very quietly, that I know your name .

 Thank you. Are there any in- structions I should be given, Dr. Tallas. about MT. Townsend be- fore you go?"
 Well, he's suffering from pro- found nervous shock" The doctor was not finished now, he was pale. His eyes were hostile as they came to rest upon Jenny's hands.

 But there were none. Georgit was not there. The few room. Jay completely around the littlt square hall and, with all door. open, Jenny could see at a glance that Georgie had not yet returned from Rochester Gate. But where then, was Eddie Townsend? | She looked into the room. tha had been prepared for him; hi luggage was there-it had arrived she remembered, twenty-four hour ago-but it had not been unpack ed. And she noticed, too, that hi curtains were not up, after all she was rather glad of that, the, would give her something practice and immediate to see to. In Geor lgie's room there was work, waitin as we'll, the bed was unmade an, the chairs were heaped and lit tered with clothes; all new, al dreadfully expensive-looking.
