' By Jean Chapter 31 Poor, Worried Mae EVERYTHING Erie bad said . about Mac w true: about bis seeing that she had her favorite chair and pasting her the cream at breakfast when Adelaide gazed dreamily out of the window . , . suddenly she knew that Mac was, as Eric had said, never unaware of her. His reserve might be a re flection of her own. "I'm not for one" Would those words never cease ringing In ber ears? They hid been spoken, not angrily but sad ly; a fact which made it the more difficult for Brenda to dismiss them. "But he was anxious about Ade laide then," she tried to comfort herself. "He blamed me for caus ing her illness and of course I de served to be blamed. Everybody says things they don't mean after ward. Perhaps ..." A look of deep thought darkened her eyes. . That night she discarded her icy reserve toward Mac ane cnaiita with him gaily, and gradually won him from his aloofness. Ade laide's obvious delight at the change was proof she had not been as unobservant as ber boardera thought her. ' Mac's behavior for the next week or two puzzled Brenda greatly. In the very midst of some warmly friendly talk with her, he would suddenly pause, his jaw hardening and his eyes growing cold. Twice he stalked out of the room without explanation or apology. "Don't mind him," advised the watchful Eric. MI think he's bothered about his job." "His lob? Why should he be bothered about it7" "'Fraid of losing it, maybe," aid the well-informed Mr. Mason. "It's like this, Brenda. His boss the president of the company you know has a nephew who's been studying advertising. Graduated last June and has been trying his hand in a small concern some where in Ohio. I've heard it ru mored that the old man thinks he's about ripe for Msc's position by this time." "But that's ridiculous!" Brenda burst out "A boy with only a few fnontlis' experience to do Mac's work. Why, Mac's a genius! I could tell his dunder-headed ooss he'll lose a lot of money if he lets Mac go." Her cheeks were scarlet ana she pushed back her curls with a reckless hand. Eric suppressed a grin. "Right, my girll But you can see what makes Msc a bit upset just now." Brenda did not write at all the next morning. She sat before the window gazing sternly into The Street as though she expected Mac's misguided employer to ap pear any moment In truth she saw nothing no one; not Miss Ormond, coming across for her early call on Adelaide; not the Wicks, in handsome new coats, setting forth upon the half-lane, half-alley which gave egress to The Street. Sweetness Personified THE girl was examining and dis carding in quick succession a number of ways she hoped might help Mac. She thought of getting everybody on The Street to write warmly commendatory letters to Mac's employer sbout the excel lence of his advertising work. "But if they all come from one street, it will look like a con spiracy," she decided. She considered talking to Mac himself, advising him to lay down the law to the short-sighted per son who thought of dispensing with his valuable services. It was a distinct recollection of how Mac's jaw looked when he was displeased which put a stop to that train of thought. In the end she had to give up the problem, contented herself by resolving to be as sweet to poor, worried Mac as it lsy in her power to be. Brenda, being sweet to a man. was or so thought the amused Eric infinitely more of a menace than the loss of s job. "Gosh, I'm glad she's never un dertaken to mother me! When she turns those eyes on a guy, trots out those dimples of hers, puts a distinct note of tenderness in Rlvleri, June 10. (Spl) Mm. Minnie Byerly left last week (or Grand Forks. N.

Riviera Fern Valley Randall' her voice, if s enough to mske any fellow begin to figure whether he can pay for the diamond outright, or on the installment plan. Beats me how old Mac can resist herl" It bewildered Brenda a little, too. When she took the trouble to be what she called "sweet" to any man. she was accustomed to get results; usually more rapid and decisive results than the bad planned or desired. Since Msc ap- E eared either indifferent to her indness, or stolidly unsffeeted by it, she redoubled her efforts. One evening when he was shrugging himself into his coat in the hall, preparing to return to the office for some extra work, she came close to him, and put one small hand on his arm. "Mac, dear, wouldn't you feel better if you talked about.it?" she asked. He looked down into the soft dsrk eyes, tbe gentle curves of her mouth. "No," he said gruffly. "It's the last thing on earth I want to dis cuss with anybody." "But perhaps it isn't as bad as you think, Mac! Perhaps-if you taid frankly and honestly that you" To her astonishment he shook her hsnd from his arm; not rudely but as if it had become intolerably heavy for him to support. His voice was harsh with misery when he spoke. "Not while Tm in my right mind! Get that through your head this minute, Brenda! She was not offended, the was more than ever troubled for him. She elasped the rejected hand in its mate and her head drooped a little. "Oh, Mae dear. Ti give any thing if this this hadn't hap pened! And perhaps it won't bap pen! Perhaps you" He strode to the door. With his hand on the knob he said, still in that strange harsh voice: "You're dead right it won't happen. Bren da! I've made up my mind it shall not!" Til Be Seeing Tou' MAC had left The Shortest Street! Two days after his talk with Brenda he had shut himself up with Adelaide for fifteen minutes' tslk. When they emerged from the library, Adelaide's eyes were a trifle red, Mac looked more un happy than ever. He was busy in his room all evening, and at breakfast the next day he an nounced quietly that he was mov ing. Downtown nearer the of fice." Only Isobel exclaimed over the news. Eric shot the other man a quick look, Adelaide made no comment Brenda, distrusting her own voice, looked blindly down at her plate. "Permanently, Mac?" This was Isobel. "Surely not permanently! Just while the spring work it so heavy and you nave to work so often eveninus?" "Permanently. Tm afraid," he said, throwing Adelaide a glance that was oddly imploring. "I've told Mac I think he's wise In moving." came Mrs. Rosttetor's eentle voice. "Of course we'll all miss him terribly but we mustn't be selfish. It will save him in lots of ways to be closer to the office." "And Til be teeing you frequen ly," Mac added. He rose and shook hands briskly all around. "I'll send for my stuff today, Adelaide. Got to hurry now!" And incredi blv he was gone. Brenda sat as if stunned. Things must be in a bad way indeed u Mac could so desert Adelaide. She determined to question Eric that evening. Eric, however, proved elusive. He telephoned late in the after noon that he was dining out He returned too late for anything re sembling a consultation. The next evening he was home, but Isobel, Brenda told herself with some ir ritation, stuck to him like a burr. Mac had in fact been awav five days before Brends cornered Eric Mason. "How is it going?" she asked anxiously. "How is what going?" Erie gazed at her blandly. "Oh, you mean Isobel's afTair? Nicely, I think don't you? She's been out with him twice this week and" "You know perfectly well 1 don't mean Isobel. Why will you be so horrid. Eric? I sm talking about Mac. Has he lost his job?"

MAGINOT Andre Maginot, who entered military service In 1914 as private and rose to be French minister of war in 1922, never lived io see his greatest work completed. This vast project, the famous Maginot line, is a fitting memorial to a man who was a physical giant and a tower of strength to the French republic. Six feet five inches tall, he was head and shoulders above the other statesmen of the continent in the post-war struggle to secure Western Europe against future German invasion. Maginot made constant demands for greeter armaments in his country, and to the time of his death in 1932 urged that France keep up constant survelliance of the Rhineland.
