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

"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!"

WHEN both package and letter
were gone, she felt better; at
least for a few days. Then she felt
very much worse. Before even

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."

"Who, Eric? Could Hugh Sal

"He doesnt know either of 'em
from Adsm. Moreover their opin

"Whose would then?"
"Somebody in hia own field, I

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

"No." he answered sadly. "Don't

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

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

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

"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.

to the deep basements of a re

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
