Mrs. Arnold, who Has a txagatnfd Idea of her responsibility toward her thirty-ytar-old uird Dorothy. asks Brenda to give tip seeina Saltvt. Amused, Brenda refuses, but promises to keep away from Dorothy. , Chapter 12 A Little Adjusting "VHTf can't I ask Dorothy to my If room?" Brenda asked Ade ; lalde, after Mrs. Arnold had left Mrs. Rosttetor bridled Kently. "Dorothy, my dear child, is a very stuDid Derson: one can hard ly call her a girl. I doubt if she reaaa a aingte oook in a year, bnt Clancea at the headlines of news papersif they have to do with murders. Mrs. Arnold's protec tiveness toward her is almost a phobia. I think the matron who put Dorothy in her care in the first ilace was largely responsible for L She kept impressing on the poor woman that the girl would receive her impressions from the person with whom she made her numc ii a nuivuiuus, rcaiiy uie way she spresds her skirts in front of Dorothy. Eric and Isobel make all sorts of fun of her; but Mac thinks it's sort of pathetic. But then Mac " Brenda rose abruptly. "I must et to work! And bv the way. Adelaide. I've asked Hugh Saltus to come here this atternoon. 1 nope you don t mind? Adelaide smiled demurely "This is a boarding house, my dear. Who your guests and callers are is certainly none ot my busi ness!" So Hugh came that afternoon, ' his eyes wary as a wild animal's out nis moutn sensitive ana ai most tremulously smiling. "You're sure this won't Injure your social standing In The Street?" he inquired. "How absurd!" Brenda ex claimed. "I'm proud to have the great Mr. Saltus calling, let me tell youl When my friends at home know" He looked alarmed. "You haven't written them where I am? Oh, Brenda, I hope you haven't!" "Is it a secret?" In her tum the was disturbed. "Because I'm afraid I have told one or two. I'm ao proud of knowing you, you see. Hugh, why do you hide?" "There are reasons." He seemed suddenly as vague as Adelaide herself. "Never mind, dear child. I'm flattered that you are proud. It's pretty swell having a nice girl like you willing to know me." The whole situation puzzled Brenda. What if his wife had gone home and had not come back? Did that affect the man himself, or his work? Probably. Brenda mused, Mrs. Saltus was a cat. and Hugh was better off without her anyway. He seemed a lonely soul, poor Hugh! "Who do you think you are?" Isobel inquired pleasantly that evening. "Mrs. Omnipotence? For I tell you. Brenda, not even a Bumham can carry on with Hugh as you're doing and not get herself talked about. "Carry on?" Brenda ruffled In dignantly. "I received a famous artist in the parlor of my board Inghouse in the afternoon. If that's carrying on, I wonder what they'd think of some of the things that happen in the Village!" "Ah, but they wouldn't let them happen here, you see! This street has been well, pure and unde nted in its morals since your Jxandfather's time: perhaps be ore. It's not for a young chit like you. my sweet, to come along and corrupt it." "It it's never corrupted any mora than I shall corrupt it. it's most fortunate. Yes, Grenadine, what is it?" "Mist' Mac say would you come down to the parlor a minute. He'd like to speak to you private-like." Keep Out' BRENDA cocked a mocking eye at her caller. "Now there, Iso bel. is food for gossip, if you like! A young eligible man craves pri vate speech with me and after nightfall! Hadn't you better call Visa Ormond and Mrs. Arnold and tell them about if" In the parlor Mac said gravely: "I've tried all evening to get a word In with you but I've had no luck so I sent Grenadine to ask you to come down. I hope you didn't mind?" "What is It?" she demanded briefly. "I simply wanted to warn you to keep out of the Abernathy Barrow aflair." he said. "There are ramifications to it which you don't know; which you needn't know. Will vou take rnv word that It's wisest to let the twins attend to their own affairs?" The icy wrath which he had stirred in her twice before rose again. "No." she answered deliberate ly, "I won't Won't take your word, and won't keep out of their affair. It seems to me to need a little adjusting. And I'd have you know," she continued defiantly, "that I've been asked to adjust it!" El GAINS RESULTS FOR TURKEY Rnseburg. Ore, May 18 i.F The csmpaign recently Inau gurated by the Roseburg cham ber of commerce to increase turkey consumption has already shown marked remits, accord ing to a letter received by V. C. Harding, secretary, today from Herbert Beyers, general manager ot the Northwestern Turkey Growers association at Salt Lake. Beyers reported Randall "By whom?" "By Ned Barrow." ' "I was afraid so," he sighed. "My dear girl I wish you'd be lieve that I really want to be a friend of yours not an enemy. And as a friend I tell you that mixing up with Barrow and Alaine will bring down a lot of trouble on your head. I know. I've lived here several years and 1 understand the situation as you can't hope to do not for months, anyway. Barrow, heaven ba praised, has gone to California for two weeks. Will you give me your word to do nothing about him and Alaine most especially about Alaine until he comes back?" "My dear Mac," she began affably, "your solicitude Is most gratifying most gratifying in deed. But somehow I can t sea how my helping a pair of lovesick youngsters out of a coil of trouble they've wound themselves up into is going to harm me in the easL Likewise" she cocked a mocking eye in his direction "flattered as I am at your effort to look after me. I'm at loss to understand why" "Yes, you said that before. 1 wonder about it myself some times. Let's put it that I hate to see either fooli or angels rushing in where they shouldn't tread." "I being 7" "Take your choice," he aaid, and strolled away. "My last word is: you'll regret it deeply if you don't keep out ot that mess!" Very Unjust BRENDA had progressed from the first square to the second in her book. She was supremely dissatisfied with the result but, as she reminded herself almost tearfully, she couldn't stay or one chapter forever. Viciously she had scratched out the word "sparkling" from the cardboard plan. It was as much as she could do to get Margareth and Brian to open their .nouths to each other, much less engage in sparkling dialogue. Their stiff, formal sentences disgusted the young author beyond measure, but try as she would, nothing bet ter came. "And this makes three days to one chapter at that!" she thought "At this rate I'll be forever writ ing the infernal book!" She worked doggedly all morn ing and until nearly four in the afternoon when she decided that a brisk walk would clear her mind. It was a heavenly day with a blue hari on the hills beyond the town. "I wish I had a car." ahe thought wistfully. "I'd like to drive out there and see the river. Oh!" She bumped into a young man who came dashing up the steps lust as she went down. "I beg your pardon!" His tone was distinctly sulky. "I hope I haven't hurt Oh, it's you. Miss Burnham!" "Brenda." she corrected with a smile. "Call me Brenda, Ab!" "You recognize me then?" "Of course! You and Alaine make a rather impressive pair, you know. Did you want to see Adelaide? I'm afraid she's out just now." He glowered at her. "It's you I want to see!" "I?" She glanced again at his wrathful young face and took a sudden decision. "That's your car at the curb, isn t it? well, then suppose you take me for a little drive while we talk. I was Just wishing I could get out to those hills." He hesitated. Plainly the Idea of driving about a girl with whom he had come to quarrel was s trifle disconcerting to him. "You might as well," she as sured him. "All right!" He closed the door upon her, careful even in his an noyance to see that her skirts were protected, and went around to his own seat "Look here, Miss Burnham, I" "Brenda" "Well, Brenda. then. But don't think that I intend being friends with you. because I don't! I know what you've been up to with Alaine. I know you're encouraging her to marry Ned Barrow and I want to tell you" "Encourage her? My dear boy, wasn't she parking to elope with him when I arrived on the scene? Didn't I talk her into postponing it merely to give her time to make up her quarrel with you? 1 think," Brenda concluded plain tively, "you're very unjust!" "A lot I care what you think." he told her with boyish rudeness. "If that was all that happened. It would be O. K. But It wasn't all. You sent Barrow off to California and got Alaine all stirred up over his going. ... I tell you. she never took him seriously before, no mat ter how often she threatened to marry him. But now now! You knew the one and identical thing to keep her thoughts on him, make her wonder why he hasn't called or written." "You understand a lot for a child of your age." she said coldly. "Child! I'm nearly twenty-onel And it doesn't take either aee or wisdom to see through this little maneuver of yours." Coauaaed toaerrew Ifreeier totalled 10 Ml. 000 i pounds during April, usually slack month. The April move. mrnt. instead of being far un j der the March totals, as in other I years, was only 30,000 pounds below the March figure.

Strange as it seams, perpetrators of such a gag at Tinker's Hollow, near Con neaut, Ohio, In 1905 were victims of their own gag. They sent young Bill Tinker tor such a wrench. But when ha returned with a monkey wrench which had left-handed threads, the gag backfired. 160 MILES A DAY After residing on the campus of the University of Wisconsin at Madison for three years, James Crosby, Jr., decided to commute.
