MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. WEDFORD. OREGON, SUNDAY. MAY 19, 1940.
By Jean
YESTERDAY. 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."

LEFT-HANDED WRENCH
Favorite gag of mechanics is to send a new apprentice looking for a "left-handed mon
key wrench." 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.
