By Jean Randall' rtSTERDAY: Brtnda't Utlrr from Ntw York hvi thai Linda, Hugh't trite, it clerking in a bar gain txuemenl. Hugh can't un derstand it because he fends Linda tSOO month. Chapter 17 'JnlerferenrV "r0 YOU think woman proud L' inomh to refuse your money all that time to max no effort to patch up the quarrel do you think .he'll tolerate your ending her in her present cir cumstances?" asked Brenda. "Linda la proud," he said again. "Proud as the devil!" "You're not exactly a lamb for meekness yourself, my H u g h I Now listen to Auntie. First, write the bank and And out whether shes using the money you pay in tor her He gestured impatiently. "No need to! Of course she's not. I see It all now. Why was I fool enough to think she'd accept money from me when when "Be earefull You're not to tell me about it, you know." She paused, her thoughts busy with this intriguing problem. "Let it alone, Hugh," she said at last "I mean give me a day or so to think what should be done. It will have to be the right thing. One false more and your Linda will have flown. "My Linda," he muttered, pass Ing one big clever band over his forehead. "My Linda! How I wish he were again! His caller's grr.ve fare bright ened. "Grand! Fifty per cent of the situation la okay, at any rate. If I'd had both of you to struggle with " He snorted. "Tf you thought for one minute, Brenda tsurnham, that Linda's leaving me was by my wish with my consent any thing but a bitter blow to me then you're not the smart girl I considered you. "Practically everybody on The Street thinks you ordered her out" "Then practically everybody on The Mreet is a fooir "Perhaps. Hugh, do you fee! perfectly well? It's getting fsll Ish, you know and lots of peo ple have flu, and flu can so easily go Into pneumonia. Don't you feel a little feverish and achy?" she inquired hopefully. "What the dickens? Brenda. re you losing your mind? I am In excellent health, thank vou. Not that it matti.rs," he tacked on with bitterness. She sighed. "I thought a tele gram to Linda, saying that you were at death's door" He lighted another cigarette: took his time about it Then he mentioned: "It'a plain to be seen you're a fiction writer!" "And a student of psychology!" she Hashed. "We-ell; there might be two opinions about that! Oh. calm down, little Brenda! I rlldn t mean to hurt your feelings. Great Scott! . Haven't I put my fate in your hands?" "Oh. Hugh, have you?" She was pleased and proud. "I'll do mv very best for you, I promise you." She rose for the second time. "I'll run on back now and think. There must be some simple, nat ural wav out of this thing, and we'll find it: you'll see!" On the sidewalk outside Miss Ormond was waiting for her. "Hereafter," ah pronounced grimly, "you're to telephone me when you get these mad urges to visit Hugh Snltu.il At least I can see that you're chaperoned!" Too Large A Dose' THE other letter which Inter ested Brenda that morning was from Ned Barrow. It announced that its writer would return by the end of the week, and de manded to know what ahe had done for his cause with Alains Ahernatliy. "Thank Goodness tills presents Tift complications," the girl mused. "I shall have a straightforward talk with him. and either prove or disprove that story against him. There's to be no slllv mis understanding in this case!" Despite herself, her mind dwelt on Mac. Since their latest quar rel they had preserved a sort of armed friendliness: politeness, at all events. He inquired each eve ning as to the progress of her book: she in turn made courteous comment on his newest advertis ing disnlav. She knew all about those di.'plays bv this time: en vied Mac his crisp, succinct use of words, his economy of expres sion. Secretly she believed him possessed of a fomewhat rare ability and would have died be fore admit'.ing it to him! Twice he had Invited her to drive with him but as he had also lnc'uded either Adelaide or Io bel Burke in his invitation, she had had no talk with him alone. ToniRht. however, Isnbel had a broadcast on: Adelaide went across the street tn pay a little fsll on Miss Ormond. Mae said nothing of taking out the car. Instead he lighted his pipe and settled himself in a shabby old leather chair with every ap parent intention of apending the evening without moving from the spot Brenda seized her opportu nity. "Mae, I wish you'd tell me something!" "Tell you anything," he agreed. "I infer it's about The Street? Look here, Brenda, you don't have to shoulder all our burdens, you know!" "I know I don't." she answered soberly. "And sometimes J won der if I'm not not " "Butting in?" was his affable suggestion. She laughed. "It's a horrid ex pression, but that's what I mean. Here I am, a perfect stranger to all of you, yet trusted with some most intimate affairs. It makes me feel well, sort of unessy: hum ble, you Know; as it I had no right to know all I do know." He took his pipe from his mouth and regarded her. "You're a nice little thing. Brenda. when you don't get on your high horse. You do have a right to know what is being thrust upon you. certain ly. I admit that perhaps nowhere else in the country certainly no where else in this town is there such a closed corporation as The Street. It started with its physical -limitations, of course. It's almost as if we were on a little island, isn't it? And then most of the families have been here so long thev know one another's secrets. "Personally," he continued, "I think you're getting too large a dose of Street affairs. I under stand that dear little Dorothy Is the latest applicant for advice and symnathv." "Did she tell you?" she de manded, startled. Curia Or No UI GRINNED. "Didn't I tell 1 you we have no secrets here on The Street? No, Dorothy didn't tell me but Mrs. Arnold did. She called me up at the office this morning and poured out her woes." "Called you up at the office! About Dorothy's hair?" Brenda was aghast. She leaned forward urgently. "Mac, tell me! That was what I was going to ask you. there anything the matter with Dorothy's mind?" "Nothing that I know of save its small sire. Dorothy's mind." he elaborated, "is so small ryu'rm always falling off the edg6 of it ana Druising yourself. Now vou m warned, Brendal Keep off! Let Dorothy and Mrs. Arnold settle the vexed Question of curls or no curls." Jteluctantly she acknowledged i wisdom of this advice: but her perverse femininity protested. Why shouldn t Dorothy have a permanent if she wants one? It's her own money and her own hair: she's surely old enough to decide on a trifle like that!" tie shrugged his shoulders. "It's up to you, my dearl Don't say afterward that I didn't warn you. What" he went on calmlv, "are you going to do about Hush Sal. tus? Discontinue your visits to the studio, or take Miss Ormond along wild your I SUDDOSS she telenhnnei vnn tool" No. she stonned me as I itrnve In this evening. Said she'd issued an ultimatum." She and her ultimatum.! f shall pay no attention to her, of course!" He leaned back larllv and re garded the ceiling. "I'll remind vou of that a week from now. What about Ned Barrow? I hear he's returning this week." There s nrecious little vnn don't hear, it seems to me! But yes, he will be bark and I shall ask him about that mnlher-nnH. child storv." And if you find he's married or ought to be?" It was her turn to ahm "T shall discourage Alaine's feeling aDoiu nim. He was silent for a moment: when he spoke it was with a note of earnestness in his voice she had not heard before. Ixok here. Brenda! I rln tMnV you're swell. I think vou've been kindness and friendliness it self to put up with some of us. But forgive me for saving it won't you? Interfering with the lives ot others is dangerous work, no matter how noble one's mo tives are. These people are most- older than vou. Let em work out their own problems. You came here to write a book. Do it Let the twins muddle along with their rows and threatened elopements, forget Dorothy's permanent or lark of it. ignore Maud VanNess's vaporings: above all. don't trv tn Dlay Providence to Saltus. You'll be sorry if vou do, mark my words!" A fleeting mood of sweet rea sonableness descended upon her. surprising herself almost as great Iv as it did Mac. She assented, led him to talk of his work, of the citv, of The Street, s erred ami- ahlv with even-thing he said: was in fact so angelic that Mae grew drunk w ith power and pushed his advantage too far.
