'Dignified Baby"
BRENDA u weak with relief,
and with Uufhttr. What a

niscient MacI
"Did you know your halt sis
ter? an asked.
"Never heard of her until a
year before my lather died.
Hit conscience bothered him.
exoecL And anyway, he wanted
her to have tome money without
making it public in a will." He
shrugged hit shoulders. aDDar
ently confident that he had aaid
the last word on the aubject And
indeed Brenda'a quick wits filled
in the gaps witnout aimcuity.
' "She made a bad marriage, loat
her money, and applied to you for
more. She named her baby after
"No. For Dad."
"You're (till supporting her,
Ned?"
He flushed resentfully. "
"It's my money, isn't it? I've got
right to spend it as I like?"
' "You have indeed." She patted
his arm. "Good for you, Ned.
Heavens, I didn't realize how much
I'd worried about that story."
"Urn. But how is all this going
to help me with Alaine? You aay
she doesn't know about Cynthia.
Then what "
Let me think. Everyone has a
dominant trait a dominant weak
ness," said the young atudent of
psychology, "What would you say
AOI 1ST
"One and the asms: his nutti
ness over his farm."
She looked a little baffled. That
doesn t seem to get us anywhere,
does it? Unless , . . Doea he have
everything for it that he wants,
Ned?"
"How the dickens do I know?
He never aiks me out there. But
waitl Alaine did aay that they're
both simply frantic to have a little
greenhouse so they can keep on
with their experiments all the
year around. What about it?"
Since she did not answer ie
wept her a quick glance: saw the
dimples in full play, aaw stars
lighting her eyes.
"Well, out with It!" 'ha com
manded gruffly.
She shook her head.
"I want you to be able to aay
It waa your idea. Nedl Think
think hard!"
"You mean I could build 'em a
greenhouse or a flock of green
houses? But Ab Abemathy would
have my heart'a blood before he'd
give hit consent."
"Ab, yes: but the farm's only
half his, isn't it?"
His tired young face brightened.
-i get youi
"I hope you do, for it's the last
word I'm going to say on the sub
ject. I," said Miss Burnham virtu
ously, "believe in tending strictly
to my own affairs. Not for the
world would I counsel you to sn
action which might be construed
by the finicky as rank briberv."
He wrinkled his forehead In
thought
That's all very well as far as
It goes: but it takes time to build
a greenhouse, even more time for
it to exert a beneficent Influence
en the amateur botanist's heart
And I want to marry Alaine right
now! Next week!"
"It's not to be considered. You
mustn't think of rushing matters
like that Concentrate on imagin
ing how many limes you and he
can drive out to aee the green
house going up consult over the
plants to go In It." '
"And if Ab raises the devil?"
"Show him the blueprints. Get
Alsine to give you a list of cacti
all botanists seem to go mad over
ractl, I can't imagine why and
flash It before his eves. That'll
fx him," ahe predicted confi
dently. Blank And Defeated
THEY drove for an hour longer,
perfecting their plana. He
helped her out at her own door
just as Mac's shabby car drew
up.
"ITl wait until he warns me
against Don Juan Barrow, and
then I'll give him the surprise of
his life." Brenda assured heraelf,
with relish.
But Mac did no warning. He
merely greeted them both pleas
antly and held the door open for
her to precede him into the house.
She felt oddly blank and some
how defeated.
Adelaide came out into the hall
to greet them.
"There's a man been telephon
ing you. Brenda." ahe said. "A
friend of yours from New York.
He wsnts you to csll him at The
Shelton. Graham's his name."
"Phil UrahamT There was
genuine pleasure In her voice
"Oh, I hope it's Phil! May I ask
him out to dinner. Adelaide?
But when she got him at the big
hotel where he waa staying, it
seemed he had plana of his own
lor the evening.
"We're dining and dancing here
at The Shelton," he Informed her,
"Good food, special orchestra to
night everything. Jump into your
prettiest frock and I'll be out in
an hour. And ask your landlady
for a key. It'a likely to be the wee
mi' hours before you get back."
It waa fun, di easing for a party
again. She waa glad she had
brought along the rose brocade
with its matching evening coat
Aunt Anne had considered it too
old for lief iml Eiemia herself
reveled in the lustrous folds of the
lovely gown, in its smart lines,
and the small crushed roses which
held it on her white shoulders.
When she had brushed her black
curls until they shone like satin,
snd fastened on the long swing
ing earrings of rose cortl. she
gazed with satisfaction at her
self In the mirror.
"I look at least twenty-seven,
and dangerous!"
Not for the world would she
have admitted her real reason for
coming downstairs to await Phil's
ring. Nevertheless It did not dis
please her that Mac and Eric
were spending the last ten min
utes before dinner in the living
room.
trie looked ud with a low
whistle of astonishment.
'Holy cats! Whom have we
here?"
I m going out to dinner." aha
explained carelessly. Her cost was
over one bare arm. She refused
Eric's proffered chair with a
shake of her head. "No use to sit
down, I have only a minute or
two."
Isobel waa frankly envious.
"What a dress. Brenda! I'll bet
It came from Paris. It's too old
for you but that's all to the mod.
It makes you look like a dignified
baby. Doesn't it Mac?"
"It's very becoming."
He spoke quietly but the girl
observed with satisfaction thst
his eyes had not left her aince she
entered the room. She had hie at
tention at last ahe thought with
some excitement; not necessarily
his approval, or admiration she
assured herself she had no desire
to impress him: but she did want
to have him take her seriously!
When Phil Graham came, ahe
bade them all a radiant good
night and departed for an eve
ning of high festivity.
' 'No Use To Argue
"TJAVE fun?" Mac inquired at
1 1 the breakfast table. "I really
didn't expect to see you down
this morning, it was so late when
you got in."
She lowered her lashes demure
ly. So Mac had been awake when
ahe crept in a little before four!
"Heaps of run! Phil s a grand
dancer and a good friend. The
floor and the orchestra wer j both
good."
"Is he staying In town long?"
asked Isobel.
Brenda looked at her wrist
"Hi's on his way south by now.
Yes. what is it Grenadine?"
"Telephone," announced tha
dusky damsel.
It was Hugh Saltus. "When are
you coming to see me?" he de
manded. "You haven't been near
me since the day you shattered
my peace of mind about You
said you'd try to think out a way
to to help. Have you thought?"
"Not to any purpose, I'm
afraid," ahe admitted. "But I'll
run in for a few minutes bpfore
I start writing this morning and
we'll talk it over. That do?"
He assented and Brenda re
turned to her breakfast When,
half an hour later, she started
down The Street Mias Ormond
came grimly forth from her house
and loined the girl.
No use to ariue." ahe said. "I
won't interfere with your visit
I won t open mv mouth if vou'd
rather I wouldn't: but let you go
alone to that married man's
studio I will not!"
So Brenda. her 1 ns aet demure
ly but the betraying dimples
denting their cornera, paid her
nrat chaperoned cail on the car
toonist. Hugh looked amazed at
sight of her companion, but he
welcomed her courteously, seated
her in the most comfortable chair.
He and the eirl exchanged
casual pleasantries for fifteen
minutes while the grim figure of
the ex-teacher kept watchful
ward.
Will vou tell me the meaning
of this, Brenda?" he inquired over
the telephone when the call waa
over and the callers back in their
respective homes. "Whv did you
bring the Ormond along? Did you
think I might weep on your
shoulder, or make love to you or
what?"
I wasn't my Idea. 1 assure
you! Brenda told him. 'She
told me that the next time I went
to the studio she was coming
with me to chaperon me, you
know."
Hugh swore disgustedly, and
she chuckled.
"It's no laughing matter." he
Insisted. "I hsve to see you: I
want to talk to you about Linda.
Have you heard again from your
friend?"
"There was a letter waiting for
me when 1 got back a few min
utes ago. I haven't had time to
read it yet."

WIRE MYSTERY
Strange as it seems, by adding six feet to a wire stretched tightly around a golf bait,
or the earth, you raise the wire exactly 11.46 Inches. Assuming the earth's circumference
to be roughly 25,000 miles (132,000,000 feet), its diameter would be 42.016.806.72 feet. Add
ing aix feet to the circumference and dividing by pi (3.1416). a new diameter of 42,016.
808.63 feet la obtained, 1.91 feet greater than before. This gives a difference of .955 feet
(11.48 Inches) between the radiua of tha earth and that of the wire. Tha same difference
occura with any other sphere as long as only six feet Is added.
