Eric Mid In amwer to Brenda a question, inat ts I mean to say well, the nephew Is here, all right Maybe they're keeping Mac on to coach him a Bit" ' Anger began to kindle In B ren ds t eyes, wny ooni you say straight out he's been fired? Bringing the boy here la the equivalent of It I wonder that Mae stays on after Being insulted ' like thatl He ought to have turned on his heel and marched out: and let the nephew go to the dickens with his old accounts!" "What a little spitfire you are. mv dear!" Eric said admiringly. "Temper becomes you. too. if 1 may say so. But about Mac. He couldn't walk out on his lob like that vou know. It wouldn't be square. No matter whether he likea it or not Mac's not the tort to leave things in a mess." "And I suppose you havent tried to help him!" It was an accusation rather than a ques tion. "You haven't seen this Mu ter Muter " "You know his name la Hop kins. Brenda!" Eric said. "Well. Mr. Hopkins, thenl I suppose It never occurred to you to go and speak a good word for your friend!" He laughed In genuine amuse ment "What could I have said? Hopkins knows a dam' aight more about Mac's ability than I do. Of course." he went on kindly, "I could have mentioned that he al ways leaves the bathroom tidy, and that hia table manners are good, and that " She turned on a vicious high heel and walked away. "Men," ahe said coldly, "are absolutely spineless! They are utterly without resource!" "M'm. Try your hand at help ing old Mac. why don't you? I know for a fact he won't be let out before the first of the month, and that's eighteen days from bow. Time for plenty of action." Brenda, her head held high, wras thinking the same thing as he marched awav. She had had a vague plan in the back of her mind all along, she now realized. It seemed the time hsd arrived to nut it into execution. In her own room, she opened one of the drawera of her bureau. From beneath piles of fragrant ailken things, she drew a neatly tied flat package. It was what Mae called a "layout" He had considered it the best thing he had ever done in that particular line. So, alio It seemed, had the villainous Mr. Hopkins. A num ber of details had been changed so Mac made two sets. Brenda had salvaged this from the waste bs'tcet where he had thrust it Now she wrapped it more care fully and addressed it to a man ahe knew In New York. "I'll write him to hurrv the an swer back at once. And then oooh for you, Mr. Hopkins, sir! Macll have a job twice as big and im portant as the one you took away from him!" Better, Then Worn WHEN both package and letter were gone, she felt better; at least for a few days. Then she felt very much worse. Before even the had expected It. the answer eame from New York. "Good work," was the brief comment "Your man has braina without doubt. But I couldn't get my own brother a lob here right now. supposing I hsd a brother, and he reeded a lob in anybody's adver tising deoartment!" She erect about the house, crushed. She had shot her bolt and it had come back and rapped her smartlv on the head. But Brenda never remained crushed over long. Corklife. her mind bobbed up and set to work anew on the problem. "Eric, how la young Hopklna getting along?" she demanded on an evening perilously close to the first of the month. "Not too well. It seems. I was tslking to Mac todsv. We lunched to get her. I honestly believe the old man would aend the bov bark to hia first tob if someone who counted applied a little pressure." "Mac?" "Good Lord, no! Even a girl ought to know Mac's the last one who can do it." "You, then." German Art Objects Go Into Air-Raid Shelters AP Feature Service Berlin Berlin'a ahow-plcce the costly Pergamum Great Altar of Zeus, lies hidden be hind 30.000 sandbags to protect It against possible bombings. The massive altar with almost 223 feet of reliefs, known to most American tourists, was re stored and mounted in the Ber lin museum after being exoavat ed in the ancient city of Perga mum. Unable to move it, muse urn authorities decided to "sand bag" the altar where it stands. Whenever possible, however, valuable paintings, scultpures. wood carvings, ceramics and other museum pieces have been scattered to reduce the danger of their destruction to mint mum. Officiala of the state musi-urns bnd the Reich's Air-Raids Pro tection society were entrusted with the work. Their task was not only to find bombproof shelters for the museum oblects but also to make certain that the proper climatic conditions and the possibilities for taking cart of them were at hand Most of the pieces are irreplar-alilc. The city of Halle, for cxamplu Randall' He shook hit head. "Hopkins knows I'm Mac's friend. I ex plained that to you before." "Who, Eric? Could Hugh Sal tus? Judge Harper?" "He doesnt know either of 'em from Adsm. Moreover their opin ion wouldn't count with Hopkins." "Whose would then?" "Somebody in hia own field, I suppose. Forgive me, Brenda, but you know that letter and pack age you gave me to mail laat week? I couldn't help but recog nize the name and address. If an expert like Wilkinson boosted Mac a work "He did! Oh. he did! Walt: 111 show you." She rsn upstairs eagerlv and brought down the let ter. "See, it aays it'a good work and Mac haa brains!" Eric's face underwent a sort of convulsion. He looked 'over Brenda'a curia straight into spsce. After a moment he said: "Yea. Yea, I think wa may take It for granted he haa brains. Well, it't a pity Hopkins doesn't know about this letter. It might make al! the difference." She thrust it into hit hand with feverish eagerness. "Take it to him! Make him read it!" "No." he answered sadly. "Don't you see it wouldn't carry any weight in tnat case? nopxins knows I've never been in New York; that I don't know Wilkin- aon. 'All Mixed Hp" BR E N L A thought confusedly that there wss a flaw in this reasoning, but she was too wor ried to hunt for it She gazed at Erie aternly. "Then I'll take it to him my self!" Erie lumned. "No. no. Brenoa! I didn't mean that at all! What I meant Is that if you'd show Mse the letter, end tell him how you wrote this Wilkinson, he could maybe accomplish wonders with i it Anyway, he finished, "it would certainly buck him up to know you'd been trying to help him." . .. 'You give It to him, and teu him!" .- . Erie hesitated. Td rather not if you don't mind. Mac would think Td been aoDealing to you on his behalf, don't you see? You could explain it so much better. Brenda. I ll tell you! I happen to know he's going to be home to morrow evening. There's a sort of lobby where he lives. How would it be If I borrowed Isobel's car and drove vou down right after dinner? Just for a few minutes you know." . Her dark brows drew together i anxiously. "You're getting me all mixed up about this. Eric. If Mar has the letter. I can t see what difference it makes who givea it to him." 'But vou ve been ( vine me thunder for not helping Mac." he reminded her. "And now when you have an opportunity mavbe not only to save his lob for htm but to give him a little friendly encouragement besides and I'm here to tell you, Brenda, Mac needa friendly encouragement mighty bad just now! you go all haughty and mid -Victorian "Don t! I m not! If Iobel will let ua have her car. I'll go with you. If she won't" -she caused and added impressively "we'll take a taxi!" But after Eric had taken his de parture for his office the next morning, she changed her mind. Afterward she blamed Adelaide t calendar for It. It hung in a con- soicuous place bv her landlady's desk in the library. Brenda, wandering restlessly about the lower floor of the house, was transfixed bv the date which stared in accusing black numbers at her. Two more dava left in the month! And then it would be the first of the next, and anv busi ness msn (the unlucky Mr. Hop kins' business sbility had long had a low rating with Brenda but still he mansged to keep afloat it anpeared) would certain ly conclude any arrangementa he might intend to make two or three days before a given date. She made her decision on the Instant Running unstaira. ahe got into street clothes, exsmining with a sort of detached interest the sma'l brilliant face above the collar of the fur coat Aunt Anne had riven her last Christmas. Half an hour later, she was being politelv seated In a chair by old Mr. Hopkins' desk. CeuUnaed toaaorrea removed Its valuable art objects to the deep basements of a re mote castle. There they will re main in chests lined with lead until the war it over. German art centers In the west have removed their most valuable pieces to the nearby countryside. Although the museums have been ttripped of all their prlce leaa works, their doors remain open. The empty niches have been filled with art which here tofore has been crowded into storerooms. Much of It newr be fore had been on exhibition. Thus In Vienna a show of "pi anoes out of the fifth century h.ta been opened.
