PAGE TWELVE MEDFORD MATL TRIBUNE, MED FORD. OREGON, THURSDAY. JUNE 13. 1940. By Jean Randall' Chapter 34 He Spitfire Surrender BRENDA caught her breath and went on as though the need for speech had become too treat to be denied. "I know I wu inter fering, and little idiot besides to go to Mr. Hopkinal 1 know it has put you in an embarrassing position. Eric but I won't blame Erie, though certainly I was not told the facta. I blame only my self. I can't imagine what hat made me act to. I never did In New York: or at least if I tried to help people there in the Vil lage especially it always turned out right, and they were not up let. Sometimes they were even pleased though t know you rr.uat find that difficult to believe. Mac. I'm sorry. That's really all I can say. isn't It? If I knew anything else to say " "There is one thing you can say. s it happens," he told her sober ly. "It's why I persuaded Linda to send for you o you could say it She hung her head. "I know what you mean. You want me to .knowledge that from the first I've been a thorn in the side of The Street both side. I suppose. Well. I do. Acknowledge it. I mean." "No, Brenda. That's not at all what I want you to say." He ihoved his hands in his pockets and looked perturbed. "I'm not sure I ought to let you say it, vn if it hanooned to be true. . . . BrenHa, did you ever wonder whv I left The Street Adelaide's house?" "f knew." she said drearily. "I didn't have to wonder. You were afraid you would be the next victim of my offlcioujness. And even moving away didn't save rou. did it? I've said I m sorry "Tt waa vour money!" The words shot from him with force. "Mv money? What money?" "The Bumhnm fortune. I heard ibout i' the first day I went to live on The Street. Everybody look care to impress on me tne ex tent nf vnnr vrandfather's wealth We all heard more times than I can count how your aunt had a personal maid; how your grand father thought nothing of paying Ave thousand dollars for a saddle horse; how " Her eyes widened to their great est extent. "That's all true, Mae, but " "And I on a salary," he inter rupted bitterly. "Good enough as salaries go these days, but nothing to offer the young heiress to the Bumham millions!" One tiny dimple made a fleeting appearance at the corner of her mouth. "Not millions, Mae. Not even sne million. Lots of money, but not that much." Too much, at any rate. Why, that fur coat you wore this winter would have cost three months' of mv salary! I'd have a nerve to think of asking a girl like you to marry me." If he had looked up he would have seen a second dimple come boldly out into the open: but he kept his gloomy gaze on the floor. Words Of One Syllable "AUNT ANNE gave me the coat for a Christmas gift Poor dear, I'm afraid she denied herself a good many things to pay for it!" "I suppose so; thinks like an English butler to replace the par lormaid." "Parlormaid? You talk like an English novel, Mac. Aunt Anne has no parlormaid." "Of course she hasn't!" he said m'armlv ind tnrnnsistpntlv. 'She's had her English butler from the beginning. Judge Harper said your grandfather had the only butler TW C t . , ...... "Yes. Old black Selby. He be. longed to the Selhys that was my grandmother's family in slave times." He shrugged Ms shoulders. "There you ore! Old family re tainers then, tnclish butlers now!' She took a step toward him. "Is that all you have against me now, Mac one lone bnglish Miller? "And all he stands for." "Tiiere is no butler," she told him softly. "I me3n Aunt Anne has only one servant. Mac. She cooks and does the general clean ing. Aunt Anne riifeLs, and gets dinner herself on Thursday niKht "An eccentric, eh? Saving it all up to hand on to you!" "Of course if you're determined not to understand!" She took a lofty tone with him. "I ll try to tell you in words of one syllable: Aunt Anne has one maid because I mean since it's all she can afford I mean can spend: a badly ar ranged sentence, Mac, but one syllable words are hard to find even to convey very simple facts." "She s turned it ail over 10 you already?" Brenda lost patience. "You're misunderstanding purposely!" "Thank you!" he said heatedly. "I may be dumb but at least I know better than to ask a child of luxury to thare an apartment with me maybe even to cook my meals unless we could get a part time maid " "I being the child of luxury?" He raised stern eyes to her then. "This talk amuses you, I have no doubt." "I should say it does!" was the frank reply. "Considering that Grandfather's money evaporated long ago, and Aunt Anne lost most of hers in the stock market crash." "Brenda!" Stie stretched a forbidding hand toward him. "No, Macl I'm not going to be done out of a real pro posal." The dimples were a merry riot now, but she kept her voice authoritative. "I'm not going to have you throw it up to me in later years that my officiousnesa snared you into " The authori tative voice ceased. It is difficult if not impossible to articulate clearly when one's face is buried in a tweed shoulder. Love Scene TWENTY minutes later Linda poked a cautious head around the door. Then she gave a subdued whoop which brought Hugh run ning. "And high time, too," he growl ed, his mouth stretched in a wide smile. "I need my studio to work in. If you're through staging this love scene I'll be obliged if you'll go somewhere else." But he was destined to lose the use of his working room for the entire morning. The news flew up and down The Street in a fashion peculiar to that interested neigh borhood. Before the laughing couple could take themselves off. Judge Harner appeared, beaming and shaking hands with Mac kissing Brenda affectionately. So we aren t to lose you trom The Street after all." he said. That's a great satisfaction to me. "I I fear we won't be living here, sir." Mac said. "You see. Brenda and I will want our own home -at least I suppose you do. Brenda? I really haven t time to ask her," he finished with a grin. if....!..!.. .... 1 . .U lain iii, unu iiuiiie, told him (Irmly. The Judge looked surprised. "1 forget I haven't lold you the news! I must be getting old and forget ful even though Sarah says 1 m not old at all. only mature." Sarah? "Mrs. Wick." The Judge actual ly blushed. "She er I er it's this way: we're tr be married very soon, and she doesn t want to leave her own house. . can understand that A woman grows more at taclied and of course there's Frances, too. So when we knew that things were going to be all right with you and Brenda, my dear boy, 1 mentioned to Sarah that it would please me to give you my house for a wedding pres ent, and she 'Just a minute. Mae Inter rupted dazedly. "How on earth could you know they were going to be all right? We dtdn t know ourselves until about twenty min utes ago." Linda informed him. "1 heard you two rowing, so I knew every thing was going well. I telephoned well, several of those most in terested." Which was why. Brenda sup posed, the studio soon resembled a mob scene. Everybody was there except Dr. VanNe.ss, who was out making calls, .'nd Grenadine, who sulked for the rest of the day be cause Mrs. Rosttetor had forbid den her to leave the house. "Aren't they dears?" Brenda commented when. Just before lunch time she found herself alone with Mac. "Oh, I do think this is the nicest street in the world! Think of our having the Judge's house for our very own!" But not for nothing was Dion MaeKelvey an advertising man. He firmly ignored all side Lssues. "Kiss me!" he commanded.
