rAGE TWELVE MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON', FRIDAY, MAY 17. 1940. By Jean . tSTMDAY: Brenda plunges deeper end deeper into the af fain of The Street. After talking to Ned Barrow, she promises to intercede for him with A tains' twin. Aimer, while Ned it away on business trip. Chapter 11 Mr. Arnold's Charge ORENDA, I feci disloyal in D talking thU way to you," aid Adelaide. "It Isn't as if Miss Or- mond uved anywhere else in town, you know. Somehow The street we vt been like one big family so long It givss us pnvl leges " ' "If you if we were all under one roof, it wouldn't give Miss Ormond the right to interrelate people about their private affairs as she does! Brenda spoke with spirit. 1 have a canicular rea son for wanting hrr to let Alaine alone Just now. I have plan for the poor girl Again the dreamy Mrs. Rost tetor chuckled. "Looks as if you were taking an Interest in the af fairs of The Street yourself, my dear!" At dinner that night Miss Bum ham was exceedingly dignified. Adelaide's comment had acted as a pin prick in the tightly blown balloon of her concern for Ned Barrow. She who had enjoyed an urban amusement at the closely knit affairs of The Street hsd her self plunged perhaps more deeply into them than any other person living In the block. She determined to spend the venl.i in her room, reading and Tiling letters. She reached the nail just as Mrs. Arnold, without bothering to ring tie bell, stepped through the open screen. "Brands. I want to speak to you. please! It was too much! Brenda felt (he had endured enough for one day. bne murmured something about a headache and ran up stairs, shutting her door as though a Kidnapper was after her. In less than five minutes the inevitable knock sounded on those much-used panels. "May I come in. dear?" Ade laide asked; and without waiting for an answer, she entered, Mrs. Arnold close behind her. "A head ache, dearie? I'm so sorry! Mrs. Arnold is wonderful with head- eches. She wants to rub your forehead. We all send for her when we have aches and pains." chattered Adelaide. "She should have been a nurse: her fingers nave real magic in them. So it was that Brenda found herself presently between cool sheets while Mrs. Arnold set pa tiently massaging a forehead be hind which whirlrd enough dis turbing thoughts to make it ache. Not a word was said of Dorothy, or Hugh Saltus, or Alaine: not a word was said at all, in fact Un der the spell of those clever fin gers Brenda relaxed. Judge Har per's face floated before her, Ned Barrow's grin cheered her. She slept Dorothy BUT if Brenda believed a mere headache could avert Mrs. Arnold's interest in her actions, ahe was doomed to disappoint ment She was lingering over a second cup of coffee the next morning when her nurse of the night before appeared. There was nothing soothing about her now. On the contrary, she wss alert and disapproving. "Now, B r e .1 d a," she began briskly, "we'll talk about your visiting Hugh Saltus!" Adelaide murmured inarticu lately, sugared heavily a third rup of coffee, and subsided into silence. "What shall we say about It? Brenda inquired. "That you didn't approve? I'm aorry, Mrs. Arnold, if that's the case; but vou see, my conscience is perfectly clear on the subject It was in broad day light, Mr. Saltus has a house keeper who acted as chaperone if chaperone va needed, which I do not admit! and" she looked the early caller squarely in the eye "I am old enough to be rrsjonsible for my own ac tions." Mrs. Arnold sninVd. "Meaning, I take it that I'm to mind my own business! Well, that's exact ly why I'm here this morning. Brenda. my dear! Your business is my business when you live on the same street with Dorothy. I'm respons.ble for her far more so than if she were my own daugh ter. She " "Why?" the small author de manded. "Why are you more re sponsible than if she were your own daughter? Why ari you re sponsible at all at her age? If she hasn't learned by now to take rare of herself, she never will. I hope you'll torsive me " ir saving it. Mrs. Arnold, but I do think your attitude towsrd Dorothy is so toolish It is almost farcical A seething silence fell upon the dining room. Adelaide held her breath, her eyes steadfastly on her coffee cup. Mrs. Arnold closed and unclosed her hands, opened her lips but to fold them tightly again. Only Brenda went calrrly on with her breakfast. "You know resllv." she eon. In- ued presently, "either you've got to a aim i mat iiorotny is subnor mal, or else tht voiir euardian- ship of he; is abnormal!

Mrs. Rostteter breathed, and took a long sip of her coffee. "Dorothv" besan Mrs. Arnold "Dorothy is she isn't Brenda I Burnham, you're impossiblel : This," she told Adelaide sternly, I "is what comes of being a writer! 1 uonormai aonornian r-syeno-iogical expressions, both of them! I have no doubt," she went on in ; a voice from which all hope had ; departed, "that if we looked among her books we'd And ; Freud ani Jungl A perfect child like this one with curly hair, too!" Her gaze dwelt bleakly on tht curls. Somehow they seemed to enhance the awfulness of the situation. "Brenda, I regret more than I can say having to tell you this; having to seem to be rude to your grandfather's grand daughter: but for the present until you get over the modern idea of yours, or until Dorothy is strong enough mentally snd morally to hold her own against you, I think it would be well " "And when do you think that will be, Mrs. Arnold? Dorothy is in her thirties now, I understand. About ten years older than I am. When do you think she'll be able to hold her own against my ideas?" Again a silence fell upon the room. Brenda, gayly triumphant, looked up. Mrs. Arnold's eyes were deeply sorrowful Adelaide looked stricken. And suddenly the girl's victory seemed to her a cheap thing; certainly not worth . what it was costing these two kindly women. She jumped up from her chair and put her arm about airs. Arnold. "Different Atmosphere "I'M SORRY truly sorry to have talked so! I'm sorry you don't spprove of my calling on Hugh Saltus! From my point of view, you know, there s no harm in it 11 really can't promise to give it up. But I do promise to keep away from Dorothy!" She thought of the stolid, cow-eyed woman who was Mrs. Arnold's charge, and her lips twitched: but she went on: "You see, I've been brought up in a dif ferent atmosphere than those of you who live on The Street Mrs. Arnold! No one in New York dis spproved of me because I write. Some of them even thought it was was creditable. I'll ,ry to under stand you here if you'll come half way; I mean if you'll try to get my point of view occasionally, too!" To her surprise Mrs. Arnold said: "That's fairl Adelaide, you do see that it's fair for us to try to get Brenda's point of view?" and add ed dismally: "Even though she's a writer?" Adelaide emerged from her cuo long enough to say: "I ... I think perhaps I'm a little more modern in my views than than most of us on The Street Having young folks in the house all the time. you know , . ." She mentioned Eric and Isobel and Mac in a dis jointed sort of way, murmured something about having to speak to Grenadine, and drifted from the room. The two who were left reeard- ed each other in businesslike fashion. Mrs. Arnold said: "All right Brendal Maybe there's no harm in your dropping into a married man's studio snd spend ing two hours there: more par ticularly a married man who can't or won't ssy why his wife doesn't return to him. Anyhow I'd like you to explain your views on the affair." Brenda smiled, the allurini dimple on the left of her mouth captivating even Mrs. Arnolds sttention. Mv views are verv simnle. t think Hugh Saltus' personal life la his own as mine is as yours is as your Dorothy's should be. I'm interested in an artist so tal ented that he would create a riot if he came to New York City. 1 regard it as a piece of unparal leled good luck that he should he living on this street I intend to take advantage of the fuct, to see him as often and for as long a time as he will permit. "We talk." she went on musing ly, "of all sorts of things: modern art and literature; of politics; of national issues generally; I think I have never known better con versationalist than Hugh Saltus. It's a liberal education just to listrn to him." "H'm, remarked Mrs. Arnold. And what does he sav of his wife?" Brenda made no answer bryonl steady look before which the older woman's eyes dropped. Sur prisingly she said: "That's where you re right and I m wrong, Bren da. No pers't of really flue feel ing would ask Hugh about Mrs. Saltus." She rose and started to ward the door, halted hr.'fwav and said: "1 donl mmd vour talk ing to Dorothy if you happen to meet her on the street. But mind." she added sharply, you're not to ask her to see you: ar I above all you're not to take her to Hugh's studio!" A few minutes later Adelaide sidled in. "Clone?" "Yes, she's gone!" The eirl played with her teaspoon. "Tell me, Adelaide, why does she think I'd be so interested in her Dor othy? Is she so clever sensitive? Dorerhy. I mesn. Why must sha not be asked to my room?"
