He u on tha sunny tide of fifty, as a matter of fact. Must be tha ton of hJj oldest brother." Brenda murmured. . 1 beg your pardon?" Brenda colored; then, feeling herself at a disadvantage, aha brought out the entire battery of her dimples. Mr. Hopkins blinked. "Will you please read this? Just the part I've folded over?" She put the New York letter Into his hand. "And now look at the letter head. And the signature." Dazedly ha obeyed her. If she had come for a subscription to some charity, these were new tac tics indeed. Perhaps the name of ' the big store manager was In tended to be her credentials. ' "You see it's Wilkinson? Mark Wilkinson of ImUy'tJ" she told him sternly. "I see. Tha man he's writing about must be good. I should think. Wilkinson's reputedly hard-boiled." "He is good; very good Indeed." She leaned an arm on the desk and sooke with austerity. "So srood that his friends find it difficult to believe you re taking his Job sway Irom hlml The startled Mr. Hopkins stabbed himself with a beautifully cared for forefinger. "7 take his Job away from him!" "You," said the Implacable veuni thine who was leanini on h' desk. "It's Dion MacKelvey Mr. Wilkinson s writing about. I sent him one of Mac's layouts. The one you used for your last clear ance sale. ' Hopkins face brightened. "Mac nsa some gooa tarss on tnai lay. out. We got results from it, too." "I'm glad you admit It!" ' The round, somewhat stolid face confronting her again became overcast by Bewilderment. "Look here, Miss I don't be lieve I oh, yes, Buraham! Miss Bumham. I don t believe I under stand what this is all about. If you could be a little more definite " Brenda smiled coldly. Til be Tery definite. You're firing a good advertising man, an experienced one, one you yourself say gets re sults. Aside from the purely ethical point of view, do you think that's good business? I have no doubt your nephew is a very bril liant young man" her tone im plied that she had every doubt ''but it's impossible for him to have had Mac's Mr. MacKelvey's experience. Do vou " "Listen." he Implored her. aghast at this flow of eloquence. "Miss Burnham, please listen just a moment. What ever gave you the idea Mac is fired? Whv. I'd double his salary before I'd let Mac go. As a matter ot ract I gave him quite a substantial raise st the beginning of the year. Fired?" He shook his head. The Pink was ebbing rapidly from Brenda'a cheeks, but she msde one more sttempt. "Your nephew I was told on good authority that you'd brought your nephew here to succeed Mr. MacKelvey!" Forgive My Meddling A SPARK of amusement, not un touched by malice, began to dawn in the disgruntled manager's eyes. "You weren't told that by Mac, Til betl I don't know who your informant is. but he's msde sev eral rather serious mistakes. My nephew is here, yes: he wsnted to work tinder Mac for the experi ence. I let him come because I thought Mac vas overworking: not looking Just the thing these davs." She stood up, her face so white that Involuntarily he put out a hand to steady her. "I'm all right, thank you," she said chokingly. "That is aa right as I can be, knowing what what I've done. Please try to forgive me, Mr. Hopkins, for for med dling. It's a habit I thought I was cured of. I see now I had only what doctors call a 'remission' of my malady." He smiled down at her kindly. "No harm done at all my dear juung ladyl In fact It's genuine satisfaction to me to know that Wilkinson appreciates our sdver Using department" He lifted warning finger. "But no grabbing Mac away from bare, ana sending him elsewhere!" He paid her the signal honor of accompanying her downstairs and to the door himself. He did not think of it as an honor, however; he was greatly afraid she might faint "Mac In?" he Inquired of his secretary as be psssed through tha outer office. "No, Mr. Hopkins. He's gone to see The Clarion about that page. They had soma of the prices wrong last night" "Ask him to see me when he comes backl" e Brenda was packing, this time in good earnest. She worked swift ly, methodically, as though she hoped by physical action to check her thoughts. She hsd told Ade laide she was leaving on tonight's train. Adelaide, somewhat dazed and patiently depressed, had nev ertheless shown her usual consid eration and asked no questions. Tha book cardboard square and all overflowed the waste basket Brenda'a small hands hsd torn it into tiny scraps. She was folding a frivolous satin night- Sown, when knock fell on ber oor. "Mr. Mae wants to know kin ha speak to you on the telephone, Miss Brenda!" Her little Jaw grew hard. "Tell him. Grenadine, that I'm very sor. ry but I can't possibly stop whst I'm doing." Grenadine gave her a reproach ful look. "You mos' done psckin' now, an' the train ain't leavin' till seven o'clock." Brenda made no answer ssve to resume her work, end Grenadine, grumbling below her breath, was forced to depart Panic THE trunk was strapped and locked, Brenda's overnight case nearly filled when Adelaide her self came up. "Linda Just called." aha said, slightly out of breath with the haste she had made. "She says . . . Oh, my dear. I meant to help you with all thatl I had no idea you were packing so soon!" "What did Linda say?" With an effort Adelaide wrench ed her mind back on to her errand. "She says will you run down to the studio for just a few minutes. She says it's awfully important 01 she wouldn't bother you." "Would you ask her to come here. Adelaide? I still have sev eral things to do." "She can t 1 think sue s hurt her ankle, or something. She talks so low it's hard to understand her. But she says she really must see you as soon as possible." Brenda frowningly sssented. "1 Intended to run down to tell them goodby anyway. I suppose I may as well go now as later." The day was warm so she did not bother with a coat She flung aside the dusty smock in which she had been working, and ran down the stairs and out the door in the same green knitted frock she had worn at breakfast Her curls were ruf fled, and there was a smudge of dirt across one cheek; but Brends was past caring how she looked! tne entered uie studio without knocking as was her hsbit. Neither Linda nor Hugn was in sight and she hesitated. "Linda!" she called. A figure rose from a chair partly concealed by a screen. "M-Mac! she stammered. Then panic overtook her and she turned toward the door. "Brenda. please wait a minute!" But rage had replaced her be wilderment 'It's a trick." she said furiously. "Linda and Hugh have played me tncK! I thought better or them than that" She backed anainst the closed door and looked at him de fiantly. "Go ahead. Macl It s com ing to me, I know." "What's coming to you. dar ling?" She set her teeth. "Don't dare call me that! I can stand your an ger Decause I Know i ve deserved it I'll not stsnd your pity." "Pity?" "Yes. For the for the mess I've made of my stay here. But nobody need worry about what I II do next because I'm going back to New York tonight.T' Continued On the Radio Chains STATIONS There to etna Thru eo the Dial: ktX. 110. rurtlaud; kll. S40.
