Chapter 30 No More .Advice IT WAS only when she wai in bed that (he allowed horself to face thia trouble. "Everybody In The Street is far happier for your bav in come,' Mac had said. "Not everyone on The Street!" "No, not everyone," he had screed. "I'm not for one." ' In all her tenderly guarded life no one had ever sail anything like that to Brenda. It had wounded her sorely. Mac, who had been her friend, ra spite of their many quarrels; Mac, who had stood by her so staunchly all through this business of Adelaide's illness; Mac whom she liked and admired Mac to tell her he was not happier for her comingl "And I haven't so much as put finger tip on his affairs," she thought, ber cheeks burning in the darkness. "Except for the type writer being moved and his pencils misplaced and that was the merest temporary inconvenience I've not touched his life in any way. "But I suppose If s because he's seen what I ve done to the others," she admitted. "No one least of all a man likes a meddler. I haven't meant to do anyone harm," she told herself, catching her lip beneath her teeth to still its trem bling. "I haven't even meant to interfere at all. I came here to work to mind my own business. And instead " But the insteads were so manv and so accusing that she could not bear to think about them. Sleep claimed her like a grieving child. In 1 tew weeks, Adelaide was fully recovered She was ss a mat ter of fact better than she had been in years, she said. She had ac quired a new briskness of manner. an efficiency whirh urhil it hibited enough caps to assure her rrienas mat ner lovaDle casualness had not disappeared, still called lortn admiring comment Discovering the plan by which bobel had arranged the meals, Adelaide did her best to adopt it. Each evening she msde out the menus for the next dsy; the gro cery order. To be sure, the scraps ' paper wnicn ane lnsisieo on us ing were frequently lost; and even if they were not. Grenadine was pt to grumble at one or more of the dishes Adelaide asked for; but on the whole the housekeeping ran more smoothly because of Iso- oei s Drier reign. Brenda was working AnaoeAW at her book, "looking neither to me leu nor to tne right, either! as she herself said. "I've had enougn 01 trying to help people, from now on I'm going to keep in mind that firm that made a fortune lenaing to its own affairs. No More Quarrels IN VAIN did bobel ask her ad- vice about the new man who had eome into her life: the tenor whom she. had met at the broadcasting station and whose accompaniment she had played in an emergency. He had liked her work so much that he asked her to play for him often. Presently flowers began to arrive for Miss Burke with grati fying regularity. "But two musicians In one fam ily!" Isobel protested. "A tenor's to apt te be conceited, too, don't you think? Not that Gage is," she added hastily. "He honestly doesn't realise how good his voice is. how popular he's getting to be. What do you think about it, Brenda?" Two months sgo Brenda would have leaped eagerly into the affair, scattering advice in all directions. She would have tortured herself by wondering If this romance would break Mac's heart; would have set herself to discover the state of his sffection. and ruth lessly returned Isobel to him if he wished her to be returned. Now she said milHIy: "It's something you'll have to decide for yourself. Isobel. I don't even know the man." "You've met him several times!" "But that's not knowing him." replied this ntwer and wiser Brenda. "One has to be acquainted with people a long time, and in timately, before one knows them if ever." Isobel gave a confident little smile. "I knew Gage from the mo ment I met him!" Brenda was free now to drop In to Hughe studio whenever she wished. Even the exigent Miss Or mond was forced to admit that a wife was an entirely adequate chaperon, more especially when that wife was rapidly becoming Brenda's closest friend. "Because no matter what you say," said Linda, "it was you who brought me back to my Hugh. No, you may shake yoar head all you like. And I know ail about the ter-' ALLIES MAY ABANDON IS SHANGHAI REPORT Shanghai, June 8. 1Pt Ru mors that Great Britain and Franco are considering virtual abandonment of their interval!, here and elsewhere in China tonight raurcd viMblc tirf.it cnlng of police prrcautioi'rry measures In Shanghji's foreign controlled areas. The outstanding tilt in 'Ms talk all denied by representa tives of the nations Involvexi was Uict Auicikiiua wet iiei Randall rible mistakes you think you've made here. The plain truth is. my lamb, that in this state Hugh could have divorced me for desertion if he'd wanted to. Will you believe I didn't know that until tutt the last week or so in New York?" "Nonsense! You know he'd never have done It!" "I'm not so sure, ' was the sober reply. "Hugh can be burt and then angry just so long; then he simply goes away in his mind from the person or subject that has dis- fileased him. If he'd gone away rom me!" She shuddered. Brenda's somber eyes did not brighten. "It might easily have been that my meddling frightened you awayl I can't understand, looking back at it now, how I can have been such an obnoxious little fool." "You weren't a fool, and you couldn't be obnoxious if you tried! You came here, a Burnham, and everybody on The Street simply dumped their troubles in your lap, and like the sweet child you are, you did your best to help. And In most cases, you did heln. too! Look at the Wicks! Look at Mrs. Arnold, so delighted that Dorothy's short hair is unbecoming that she's giv ing the girl more liberty than she has in years. The twins and Ned Barrow are simnly ecstatic over the greenhouse. Even the Ponson bys are brightened u- by their re cent labors in Adelaide's behalf. So cheer up, my dear, and give those dimples of yours a little ex ercise else they'll forget how to twinkle!" But Brenda only smiled absent ly and murmured something about getting back to her work. "You and Mac are better friends than you used to be, aren't you?" Adelaide had asked that morning. "I'm so gladl You never quarrel any more." No Gay Teasing MO, THEY never quarreled any !'more. Mac inquired politely how her work had gone, she evinced a courteous interest in the advertising business But between them there rose every day a wall, composed of impersonalities, ce mented by formality No gay teas ing on Mac's part now. no furiou rages on -Brenda's They might have been strangers, a trifle over considerate of each other's feel ings. Adelaide was pleased, Isobel too ahsorbed in her tenor to be ob servant; only the sharp-eyed Eric noticed, and presently took Bren da to task. "What's the matter with you and Mac? He detainee her as she started up the stairs one evening when Isobel had driven away with Mac. "Been fighting?" "Certainly not." "Why not?" She was not too subdued to raise Ironical brows at this question. "Why should we?" . "You used to from the first hour you met. as I remember. What happened? No, you don't, my dear!" He Intercepted her as she staYted again for the hall. "You don't evade me lilt thai I'm your friend, and Mbc's. If any thing's gone wrnne I'm the vitv who can put It right." he finished grinning cheerfully. ii you have the sense God gave you, you won't trv!" she flashed with a touch of her old spirit. "All you'll accomplish is getting people to hate you think you're a med dlera fool that steps in where angels fear to tread " He save a low whistle "Ra that' It! Gosh, I didn't know old Mac was an outright moron!" net not a moron! Eric, vou make me sick! You who knew Mac " She stopped abruptly at his sudden grin. ''It's this." she said more quietly. "I did some thingwell, disgraceful: and Mac knows about it. That's why he" "Listens for your step coming downstairs, and then pretends to be deep in the newspaper when you come inl Manages always to see you have your favorite chair, remembers that you like cream and no sugar In your coffee (though Adelaide frequently for- gets it!), is never unaware of you a moment that he's in the hnn' Great Scott, how he fellow must naie your Desolte herself the ! u- breaking up in Brenda's heart. She could almost feel the warm blood Couring into places which had een frozen since AdelntHe' con fession. Other forces wer at ornrlr iinnn her, too. The natural resilience of youth was asserting itself. She had done mental penance for her sins; now she would throw off de pression and be happy again. "That's more like it," said Eric approvingly. "First time the dim ples have had a good workout in ages! I like that Dink in vonr cheeks, too. Why don't you wear u an ine lime? "It isn t Dink. It's a briffht rrim. son!

II has a history going back 740 years to 1200 A.D.. when ski patrols of King Sverra of Norway were instrumental in winning a victory near Oslo. In 1806 ski ticks were titled with bayonets by a Swedish captain. So equipped, Swedes and Finns fought Russia in the Finnish War of 1808-1809, strangely similar to the recent win ter campaign. Even then, Russia's plan was to cut Finland in two, which she succeeded ia doing .Af after meeting temporary overwhelming resistance near Suomussalmi, as in 1940.
