PAGE FOUR LIT{LE Srit FIRE By Jean Randall : V hadddddididi di diddddi ddd dd) Chapter 33 ‘At It Again T SURPRISED Brenda to find that old Mr. Hopkins was not elderly. He was on the sunny side of fifty, as a matter of fact. “Must be the son of his oldest brother,” Brenda murmured. “I beg your pardon?” Brenda colored; then, feeling} f, herself at a disadvantage, she 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 he 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 Insley’s?” ‘she told him sternly. “I see. The 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 — with austerity, “So good at his friends find it difficult to believe you're taking his job away from him!” The startled Mr. Hopkins stabbed himself with a beautifully eared for forefinger. . “I—take his job away from him!” “You,” said the implacable as thing who was leaning on jis 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 had some good ideas on that lay- out. We got results from it, too.” “T'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, Burnham! Miss Burnham. I don’t believe I under- stand what this is all about. If you could be a little more definite——” Brenda smiled coldly. “I'll be very definite. You're firing a good advertising man, an experienced one, one you yourself say gets re- sults. Aside “from the Lpribet ethical point of view, do you thin’ 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 rience. Do you ——” isten,” he implored her, aghast at this flow of eloquence. ‘iss Burnham, please listen just @ moment. What ever gave you the idea Mac is fired? Why, I'd double his salary before I'd let| Mac go. As a matter of fact I gave him quite a substantial raise at the | SOCIETY Party Honored | Glynn Ray Archer Reception Tonight [Fer A. C.

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 he passed through the outer office. “No, Mr. Hopkins. He’s gone to see The Clarion about that page. They had some of the prices wrong last night.” “Ask him to see me when he comes back!” . . Brenda was packing, this time in good earnest. She worked swift- ly, methodically, as though she hoped by pavecal action to check her thoughts. She had 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. The book—cardboard square and all—overflowed the waste- basket. Brenda’s small hands had torn it into tiny scraps. She was folding a frivolous satin night- gown, when a knock fel] on her door. “Mr. Mac wants to know kin he speak to you on the telephone, Miss Brenda!” Her little jaw grew hard. “Tell him, Grenadine, that 'm’very sor- ry but I can’t possibly stop what rm ania é Grenadine gave her a reproach- ful look. “You mos’ done packin’ now, an’ the train ain’t leavin’ till seven o'clock.” Brenda made no answer save to resume her work, and Grenadine, grumbling below her breath, was forced to depart. Panic (aS trunk was strapped and locked, Brenda’s overnight case nearly filled when Adelaide her- self came up. “Linda just called,” she said, slightly out of breath with the haste she had made. “She says. . - Oh, my dear, I meant to help you with all that! 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 ycu run down to the studio for just s few minutes. She says it’s awfully important or she wouldn’t bother you.” “Would you ask her to come Friday afternoon with a Birthday \Party at Bayview Park. | Prizes were won by the fol- | | jlowing: Baby—Cecilia Lopez; i\child—Rose Marie Yates; girl—| Jacqueline Delaney; boy—Paul} Gibson, Jr.; large child—Hilton!

I think she’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 assented. “I intended to run down to tell them goodby anyway. I suppose I may as well go now az 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 beginning of the year.

The pink was ebbing rapidly from Brenda’s cheeks, but she} made one more attempt. “Your nephew—I was told on good authority that you’d brought four nephew here to succeed Mr. ‘Kelvey!” ‘Forgive My Meddling’ SPARK of amusement, not un- | touched by malice, began toj dawn in the disgruntled manager's | eyes. “You weren’t told that by Mac. | Til bet! I don’t know who your informant is, but he’s made sev-| eral rather serious mistakes. My nephew is here, yes; he wanted to’ work under Mac for the experi-| ence. I let him come because I} thought Mac was overworking; not looking just the thing these days.” She stood up, her face so white | that involuntarily he put out a/ hand to steady her. “Tm all right, thank you,” she/ said chokingly. “That is—as right | as I ean be,.knowing what—what T’ve done. Please try to forgive me, Mr. Hopkins, for—for med- dling. It's a habit I thought I was eured of. I see now I had only what doctors ca!l a ‘remission’ of my—malady.” lé smiled down at her kindly. “No harm done at all, my dear at breakfast. Her curls were ruf- fled, and there was a smudge of dirt across one cheek; but Brenda was past caring how she looked! She entered the studio without knocking as was her habit. Neither Linda nor Hugh 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. “Tt’s a trick,” she said furiously, “Linda and Hugh have played me a trick! I thought better of them than that.” She backed against the closed door and looked at him de- fiantly. “Go ahead. Mac! It's com- sty 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 because I know I’ve deserved it. I'll not stand your pity.” “Pity?” “Yes. For the—for the mess I’ve made of my stay here.
