Of course she’s not. I see it all now. Why was I fool enough to think she’d accept money from me when—when——” “Be careful! You're not to tell me about it, you know.” She paused, her thoughts busy with this intriguing problem. “Let it alone, Hugh,” she said at last. “I mean—give me a day or so to think what should be done. It will have to be the right thing. One false move and your Linda will have flown.” “My Linda,” he muttered, pass- ing one big clever hand over his forehead. “My Linda! How I wish she were—again!” His caller’s grave face bright- ened. “Grand! Fifty per cent of the situation is okay, at any rate. If I'd had both of you to struggle with——” He snorted. “If you thought for one minute, Brenda Burnham, that Linda’s leaving me was by my wish—with my consent—any- thing but a bitter blow to me— then you're not the smart girl I considered you.” “Practically everybody on The eae thinks you ordered her out!” “Then practically everybody on The Street is a fool!” “Perhaps.

Then he mentioned: “It’s plain to be seen you're a fiction writer!” “And a student of psychology!” she flashed. “We-ell; there might be two opinions about that! Oh. calm down, little Brenda!

At least I can see that you're chaperoned!” ‘Too Large A Dose’ HE other letter which inter- ested Brenda that morning was from Ned Barrow. It announced that its writer would return by the end ef the week. and de- manded to know what she had| done for his cause with Alaine Abernathy. “Thank Goodness this presents no complications,” the girl mused “I shall have a straightforward talk with him, and either prove or disorove that story against him. There's to be no sillv mis- understanding in this case!” Despite herself, her mind dwelt on Mae. Since their ‘atest quar- rel they had preserved a sort of} armed friendliness; politeness, at all events. He inquired each eve- ning as to the progress of her book: she in turn made courteous comment on his newest advertis- ing disolay. She knew all about | those displays by this time: en-| vied Mac his crisp, succinct use of words. his econom: of expres- sion. Secretly she believed him possessed of a somewhat rare ability—and would have died be- fore admitting it to him! Twice he had invited her to drive with him but as he had also included either Adelaide or Iso- bel Burke in his invitation, she had had no talk with him alone. Tonight, however, Isobel had a broadcast on: Adelaide. went across the street to pay a iittle call on Miss Ormond. Mac said nothing of taking out irst, write “Butting in?” was his affable suggestion. She laughed. “It’s a Horrid ex- pression, but that’s what I mean, Here I am, a perfect stranger to all of you, yet trusted with some most intimate affairs. It makes me feel—well, sort of uneasy; hum- ble, you know: as if I had no right to know—all I do know.” He took his pipe from his mouth and regarded her. “You're a nice little thing, Brenda, when you don’t get on your high horse. You do have a right to know what is being thrust upon you, certain- ly. I admit that perhaps nowhere else in the country—certainly no- where else in this town—is there such a closed corporation as The Street. It started with its physical limitations, of course. It’s almost as if we were on a little island, isn’t it? And then most of the families have been here so long thev know one another’s secrets. “Personally,” he continued, “I think you’re getting too large a dose of Street affairs. I under- stand that dear little Dorothy is the latest applicant for advice and sympathy.” “Did she tell manded, startled. Curls Or No E GRINNED. “Didn’t 1 tell you_we have no secrets here on The Street? No, Dorothy didn’t tell me but Mrs. Arnold did. She called me up at the office this morning and poured out her woes.” “Called you up at the office! About Dorothy’s hair?” Brenda was aghast. She leaned forward urgently. “Mac, tell me! That was what I was going to ask you. Is there anything the matter with Dorothy’s mind?” “Nothing that I know of—save its small size. Dorothy’s mind,” he elaborated, “is so small you're an falling off the edge of it and bruising yourself. Now you're warned. Brenda! Keep off! Let Dorothy and Mrs. Arnold settle the vexed question of curls or no curls.” Reluctantly she acknowledged the wisdom of this advice: but her perverse femininity protested. “Why shouldn’t Dorothy have a permanent if she wants one? It’s her own money and her own hair: she’s surely old enough to decide on a trifle like that!” He shrugged his shoulders. “It’s up to you. my dear! Don’t say afterward that I didn’t warn you. What,” he went on calmly, “are you going to do about Hugh Sal- tus? Discontinue your visits to the studio, or take Miss Ormond along with you?” ( “I suppose she telephoned you. ‘00 __ “No, she stopped me as I drove in this evening. Said she'd issued an ultimatum.” “She and her ultimatums! I shall pay no attention to her, of course!” He leaned back lazilv and re- garded the ceiling. “I'll remind vou of that a week from.now. What about Ned Barrow? I hear he’s returning this week.” “There’s precious little vou don’t hear. it seems to me! But yes, he will be back and I shall k him about that mother-and- d story.” “And if you find he’s married —or ought to be?” It was her turn to shrug. “T shall discourage Alaine’s feeling about him.” He was silent for a moment: when he spoke it was with a note of-earnestness in his voice she had not heard before. “Look here, Brenda! I do think you're swell. I think you've been kindness and friendliness it- self to put up with some of us. But— forgive me for saying it, won't you? Interfering with the lives of others is dangerous work. no matter_how noble one’s mo- tives are These people are most- ly older than you.

He and the Cincinnati Reds lost to the Philadelphia Phillies, 4 to 1, when he allowed them nine hits and appeared to be in trouble most of the game. The Phils scored one in the fourth inning and put together a single, two doubles and an unsuccessful at- tempt at a double play by the Reds, for three runs in the sixth. Chicago Cubs were handed a double beating by the New York Giants at Wrigley Field, the lat- ter team now edging in close to ‘the second place Reds. First game j was won, 4 to 0, as Bill Lohrman pitched masterful ball to hold ithe Bruins to five hits. Paul Dean, brother of the “Great Diz”, hitting the comeback trail, even as his illustrious brother is doing, turning in a four-hitter in the second game. winning, 3 to 1. Brooklyn-Pittsburgh and Bos- ton-St. Louis games were post- poned on account of wet wea- ther. Boston Red Sox whipped Bob Feller and the Cleveland Indians yesterday, 9 to 2. Two home runs aided the Bosox in their bid to stay on top of the American League heap, one by Joe Cronin, the other by Ted Williams. Detroit Tigers stopped the New York Yankees’ drive to a higher standing, and, incidentally, help- ed themselves in the race to over- take the Red Sox, by defeating the world’s champs by the score of 6 to ! yesterday. Tommy Bridges allowed the Yanks but five hits. The Tigers collected 11 safeties off two enemy hurlers, three of them home runs by Char- ley Gehringer. Dick Bartell and Bruce Campbell. Chicago White Sox edged out the Philadelphia Athletics in a jnight game last night, 5 to 4 Winning run came in the ninth inning when pinch-hitter Julius Solters connected with a home run with one man on base to bring in two runs. St. Louis Browns defeated the Washington Senators for the sec- ond time in a row. 5 to 2. Vernon Kennedy gave up nine hits and kept them spread well. Browns clinched the game in the seventh inning with a four-hit, two-walk, four-run splurge. Results of the games: AMERICAN LEAGUE At New York R.

When the cry of “Gold!” roared across the mountains and prairies, the Clyde Line was ready. only did it carry hordes of eager- eyed men on the first leg of their hegira to California, but it kept constructing more ships to meet with the swelling demands for passage. : By the time the Civil War shat- tered the peace of the nation, the Clyde Line was one of America’s most important coastwise ship- ping services. Quickly it was transformed into one- of the Union’s sinews of war and at least 12 of its ships served under the flag of the Federal Govern- ment. One of them, the Liberty, operating on a line between New went down in the Potomac, its hulk Tiddled by Confederate gunfire. Possibly the last agt of war service rendered to thé Govern- ment by the Clyde Line occurred in 1865, following the collapse of the Confederacy. Then, one of its ships, the Rebecca Clyde, car- ried President Jefferson. Davis of the fallen Confederacy to Fort Monroe, where he was im- prisoned. It was a year after this, in 1866, | that the Mallory Line, which was to merge with the Clyde Line generations later, came into ex- istence. Named the New York and Texas Steamship Company, the new shipping firm establish, ed a route between New York and Galveston, the first regularly to serve the Lone Star state. ‘SOFTBALL STATISTICS LEADING HITTERS E.

This line, which furnished cheap and quick transportation of passengers and freight between the Atlantic and San Francisco, was so devised that it eliminated the hazardous Cape Horn trip. Passengers and cargo were taken aboard at New York and transferred to the Panama Railroad at Colon. After a rail trip over the Isthmus pas- sengers again boarded a Clyde boat for the journey up the west coast. ice between New York and Jack- sonville, Thanksgiving Day, 1886, was an historic event in the career of that southern city. When the Cherokee, the largest ship to negotiate the St. John’s River, tied up at Jacksonville, every one of the 18,000 residents was said to have tramped through the ship to inspect its “sumptuous appointments. In 1898, Clyde liners again served the purposes of war, learrying troops and war goods ‘during the Spanish-American conflict. One of the three boats “drafted into this service was the Comanche, built in 1895. This liner, the first to be equipped , with a quadruple-expansion en- gine, was 320 feet 10 inches long and of 3202 tons register. Later, in 1901, it was lengthened to 369 feet 4 inches, increasing her ton- nage to 3856. It was not until a dozen years later that another vital event in the history of the “Clyde Line took place. This was the opening of the service between New York and Miami in 1924. Although Miami, even at that time, was famous for the lavish- ness of its civic spectacles, it ouistripped all past performances in staging a welcome for the Apache. As the Clyde liner, with a full cargo, eased into the Bay of Biscayne, the shoreline be- came a moving rainbow of color and the city took on ine flam- boyant hues of a carnival. Banquets, elaborate cere- monies, gay parades, all of these contributed to the holiday as- pects of the welcome. On the reception committee was vir- tually every public figure in the state. Among the welcomers al- !so were the governors of’ a num- ber of nearby states. In anticipation of a tremendous , increase in travel to Miami and | other southern cities, the Clyde, Line in 1925 began the largest | shipbuilding program ever un- dertaken by American ship- owners. Within two years more — than $14,000,000 was expended | for ship construction. And into the sea s¥id the Cherokee, Semi- | nole, Mohawk, Algonquin, fol- lowed by the Iroquois and Shawnee. Climax to the individual his- tories of the Clyde Line and the Mallory Line took place in 1932, when in the interest of greater efficiency and service, the two! lines merged into one great ship- ping network. At the time of the | consolidation, the Mallory Line | was one of the most important freight-carrying services: plying along the Atlantic and: Gulf coasts. : Under the aegis'of the Clyde- Mallory Lines, the combined com- panies augmented their facilities Inauguration of steamer serv-': Go Where You Please With Your Mind at Ease — her # ?
