SYNOPSIS: After disappoint- ment in one love affair, Mary Lou Leslie is having a thor- oughly enjoyable time with Tony Titherington. She is in London for a two weeks' visit and wants to make the most of it. Tony is an aviator, the favorite of his wealthy aunt, but she disapproves of his nu- merous girls. She has balked at Tony's attempts to induce her to_ back him financially on a flight around the world, his most cherished ambition. Tony takes Mary Lou to visit Aunt Ethelberta, .and the spinster takes a fancy to this demure, “soneible” girl from the coun- try. She tells Tomy she will back his flight if he becomes engaged to Mary Lou. Tony has no intentions of marrying any girl and he asks Mary Lou to enter into a make-believe en- gagement until he complles the flight. After some hesitation she agrees. Chapter 16 A JOB FOR MARY LOU In her imagination Mary Lou of- ten had broken the news of her engagement to Jay. She always pic- tured herself laughing excitedly, telling Jay breathlessly how Tony had proposed to her. Now, however, that she was to be engaged to Tony, she felt none of the anticipated thrill—because thig was different. 8o far as the world knew, she was engaged Tony—yet actually she was not engaged at all. Tony appeared to think that the game of make-believe only made the situation the merrier, but Mary Lou still wasn't cenvinced. Having gained his point, Tony was pleased with the whole world in general, ald: Mary Lou in par- ticular. Why not? Wouldn't this assure the needed; financial backing from Aunt-Ethelberta? To him, that left nothing to be desired. He wanted to rush in with Mary Lou to break the news to Jay and Jerry. Mary Lou suggested that hei cousins be ineluded in the secret, but Tony was adamant in his ob- fections. " “1f we siari telling anyone, ‘it means that - the story will get around somehow or other. You know that people will start talking Aynt Ethelberta will be sure 10 hear it, and there'd be a grand cligax when she disinherited me ’M‘?sm'u pe: sure to do it. Then 1 wouldn’t be any more flying of any description. No, we mustn’t risk it by telling a soul. “We must carry on as though everything were. normal, as though Cupid actually had shot the fatal dart. Besides, we are serlously ent gaged, if it comes to- that. e bring you the jolly old ring in theé mornihg. Even when you have cuf, me out of your life, you can keep it in memory of the time wheq you helped me to.realize the one thing 1 wanted most to do.” «All right,” she agreed, “I won't: tell a soul All the same, I don't like to deceive Jay.” Tony waved that objection aside. «well take them both out tomors row night and tredt 'em to'a big dinner.

Did Tony really be- what he was saying or was it to. stifie an annoying little doubt that was troubling his conscience? /The more Tony talked of her ul- fimate engagement to some other fellow, the more she became con- yinced for her there could be m drew up before Jay's home elsea, she managed to LN that else.

It happens to fit in rather well. Miss Fletcher, my assistant sales girl, is leaving soon to be married. As yet I haven't found anyone to take Her place. The point is, why couldn't you hantle it? Of course, you'd be busy most of the day, but you'd still have the late afternoons pldy around ,with Tony. What do you say to that. proposition?” Mary Lou leaned forward impul- sively and gripped Jay's hands. You're a brick, Jay. But—will 1 be Tony's eyes pleaded with her. ‘Let's pretend it's serious.” He took her other hand, drew & her closer. “No reason why we should not pretend . .

All at once he let her go. abruptly, and they stood looking at each other, both a little frightened. Turning quickly from him, Mary Lou fled up the steps, not stopping to look back. The amazed Tony stared after her, a worried line in his mouth. “Better not try that again,” he muttered. “It's a bit risky. I wonder Af it's fabe 00 e crusiied the thought and elimbed into his car. Too much de- | pended on Mary Lows playing up to him—too much to allow him te look the matter full in the face. Meanwhile' Mary Lou was break- ing the news to Jerry and Jay. Her voice was shrill and tense, but they credited that « to natural excite- ment. TLater, however, Jerry remarked to Jay,. “Wasn't there something funny about that kid when she was telling us about. her : engagement? There was a peeuliar look in her ‘ace. Aré you sure she loves him?” “Qf. course she loves him,” Jay laughed. “You must admit that it's 1 wonderful match.” “Well, what about this other fel- low—"" “The handsome bozo with the black eye? He's out of the picture,” Jay retorted. “I'm going in to talk .t over with Mary Lou and get all the details.” But Jay was destined to be dis~ appointed. They were curled up on either énd of the divan that served: as Mary Lows bed, with no disturbing male in sight. Jay pumped and pumped, but no confi- of any help to you at all?” “Oh, no, not much at first,” Jay that you have the ability, and I can train you in a short time. Be- fore long, I daresay, you'll be at least as good as Miss Fletcher, and probably better. “I'll bet, however, that you'll be leaving me in the lurch to marry your Tony, just about as soon as youre really good at this selling game. That's the way these salese girls do, you khow, and now that you're engaged—" She smiled as she séid it, but Mary Lou didn't smile back. “No, Jay, I won't be married for ages and ages.” (Copyright, 1930, Maysie Greig) Tomorrow Mary Lou decides how she will play while her playtime lasts.
