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

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?"

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.
