PAGE FOUR Pith Orit FIRE By Jean YESTERDAY: Learning that Hugh is still in love with his wife and wants her back, Brenda promises to help him, too. Mac werns Brenda that interfering with other people’s lives ‘is dan- gerous. Chapter 18 Explanation EALLY the safest friends for Ae in this neighborhood are the Misses Ponsonby,” Mac in- formed her. “Sweet, if withered epinsters, restfully feminine. Not an ambition between ’em,” he went on dreamily. “No desire to make money, have a career, do anything, in short, save make their men friends comfortable.” Gone in a flash was Brenda’s new-found amiability, gone was her docile acquiescence with his a She sat straight in her ir, her eyes sparkling, every curl apparently tightening in rage. “Just nice comfortable feather- bed, in fact; yielding to the slightest pressure, totally lacking the slightest vestige of a back- bone!” “Featherbeds don’t have back- bones, my child. If you're going to write, you must learn not to mix your metaphors.” “I shall mix them if I please! And nothing on earth would in- duce me to fall back on the Pon- sonby sisters for companionship. ‘No ambition save to make their men friends comfortable!’ If that isn’t masculine conceit I never heard it displayed! Mac, I do really think ——” He sighed. “My fault! I apolo- gize! I'm sorry I ever said it— whatever it was! Brenda, do we always have to fight? Couldn’t we spend just one peaceful evening now and then? I'll tell you,” he pa “Say on alternate ursdays and Sundays we agree to dwell in love and harmony— well, in harmony, at all events.” “I am very easy to get along with,” she informed him loftily. “At home I have the reputation of being a very agreeable per- “Gal, you lie, and you know it. A spitfire you were born, and a spitfire you'll die — unless you marry a brute who will club you into submission.” “Perhaps you'd like to under- take the task?” Her voice was as Jemon ice. He spoke in gen- a hard working man with neither time nor strength to discipline a small whirlwind like Miss Brenda Burn- ham. When I marry ——” “Yes?” she prompted as he paused. He shook his head. “I shall never marry!” “Oh, but you will, Mac! You're exactly the sort of man who needs to become a domestic drudge in order to be happy. I can see you tinkering with the leaking faucet on Saturday afternoon, taking the two oldest out for a walk on sun- ny Sundays, leaving the office ten minutes early to buy the loaf of Vienna bread your wife couldn't get at the neighborhood baker's.” He smiled at her. “It’s not such a bad picture you aint, my dear. I can imagine en- joying all those things—with the Tight woman.” She maintained a self-righteous silence. Not Brenda would ques- tion him coquettishly about that “right woman.” e front door slammed and Isobel came in.

There was a peremptory note in his voice which she met in her own direct fashion. “T’'ve got to see you, Ned,” she told him. “About something im- rtant.” “You bet your sweet life you've | got to see me!

It is pointed jout that five men are needed on ithe ground for each man in the lair. 1 j “It might be Ab’s business, | don’t you think? And Alaine’s?” | He stared at her with puzzled | eyes which slowly cleared into angry comprehension. “So! That’s what they think, is it—Ab and Alaine?” “Alaine doesn’t know a thing in the world about it.” He sighed with relief. “Well, thank heaven for that! I don’t think I could have borne it if | Alaine had so misjudged me.” She seized gladly on the last two words. “Misjudged you? Hal I thought so.

If you were witness to the sort of scene we're talking of, wouldn’t you feel justified in requiring an ex- planation from the hero of it—or the villain, as the case might be? At least before you advised Alaine to elope with you—I mean with the villain?” Half-Sister HE TURNED the car around in 3 the middle of the block, caus- ing a traffic officer to blow a warning whistle after him. “Ned! Where are you going?” “To lick the tar out of Ab nathy.” “I would,” she jeered. “It will make Alaine welcome you with open arms, and promote a nice family feeling all around: Ned Barrow, you behave yourself if you want me to help you! I've no time to waste on ridiculous boys.” He simmered for five blocks, then unwillingly slowed down. “All right. What d’you want to know?” “Who t was, Ned. “You consider that’s a fair question? One I ought to an- swer?” “Most certainly I do.” And then as he seemed unable to break his sulky silence, she said despair- ingly: “Oh, why will men act like such idiots! Here I am, leaving m; work in the middle of the after- noon, doing my very best to fur- ther your cause with Alaine, and do you help me the least bit in the world? You do not.
