PAGE FOUR EIT TLE Sritrik By Jean Chapter 34 The Spitfire Surrenders BRENDA caught her breath and went on as though the need for speech had become too great to be denied. “I know I was inter- fering, and a little idiot besides— to go to Mr. Hopkins! I know it has put you in an embarrassing ‘ition. Eric—but I won’t blame Tic, though certainly I was not told the facts. I blame only my- self. I can’t imagine what has made me act so. 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- set. Sometimes they were even pleased—though I know you must find that difficult to believe. Mac, Tm 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, as it happens,” he told her sober- ly. “It’s why I persuaded Linda to send for you—so you could say it.” She hung her head. “I know what you mean. You want me to acknowledge that from the first I've been a thorn in the side of The Street—both sides, I suppose. Well, I do. Acknowledge it, I mean.” “No, Brenda. That’s not at all what I want you to say.” He shoved his hands in his pockets and looked perturbed. “I’m not sure I ought to let you say it, even if it happened to be true. ... Brenda, did you ever wonder why I left The Street — Adelaide’s house?” “I knew,” she said drearily. “1 didn’t have to wonder. You were afraid you would be the next victim of my officiousness. And even moving away didn’t save you, did it? I’ve said I’m sorry!” “It was your money!” The words shot from him with force. “My money? What money?” “The Burnham fortune. I heard about it the first day I went to live on The Street. Everybody took care to impress on me the ex- tent of your grandfather’s wealth. We all heard more times than I ean count how your aunt had a personal maid; how your grand- father thought nothing of paying five thousand dollars for a saddle horse; how ——” Her eyes widened to their great- est extent. “That’s all true, Mac, but ——” “And I on a salary,” he inter- rupted bitterly. “Good enough as ries go these days, but nothing to offer the young heiress to the Burnham millions!” One tiny dimple made a fleeting a@ppearance at the corner of her outh. “Not millions, Mac. Not even one 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 my 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 1 If @ good many thin; suppose so; things 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 ‘warmly and inconsistently. “She’s had her English butler from the beginning. Judge Harper said your | father had the only butler} Street ever boas' | Yes. Old black Selby. He be-| longed to the Selbys—that was my grandmother's family —in slave times.” He shrugged his shoulders. “There you are! Old family re- tainers then, English butlers now!” She took a step toward him. “Is that all you have against me now, Mac—one lone English butler?” “And all he stands for.” “There is no butler,” she told him softly. “I mean—Aunt Anne only one servant, Mac. She cooks and does the general clean- ing. Aunt Anne dusts, and gets dinner herself on Thursday night.” “An eccentric, eh? Saving it all up _to hand on to you!” “Of course if you're determined Randall : not to understand!” She took a lofty tone with him. “T’ll try to tell you in words of one syllable: Aunt Anne has one maid because—I mean since it’s al] 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 all over to you already?” Brenda lost patience. “You’re misunderstanding pu! ly!” “Thank you!” he said heatedly. “I may be dumb but at least I know better than to ask a child cf luxury to share an apartment with me—maybe even to cook my meals unless we could get a part time maid ——” “T 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!” She stretched a forbidding hand toward him. “No, Mac! I'm not going to be done out of a real pro- posal.” The dimples were a merry Tiot now, but she kept her voice authoritative. “I’m not going to have you throw it up to me in later years that my officiousness snared you into ——” The authori- tative voice ceased. It is difficult if not impossible to afticulate clearly when one’s face is buried in a tweed shoulder. Love Scene ‘WENTY 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 uliar to that interested neigh- orhood. Before the laughing couple could take themselves off, Judge Harper appeared, beaming and shaking hands with Mac, kissing Brenda affectionately. “So we aren’t to lose you from 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. “Certainly our own home,” she told him firmly. The Judge looked surprised. “I forget I haven’t told you the news! I must be getting old and forget- i ful even though Sarah says I’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 tc be married very soon, and she doesn’t want to leave her own house. = can understand that. A woman grows more at- tached—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, I mentioned to Sarah that it would please me to give you my house for a wedding pres- ent, and she ——” “Just a minute.” Mac inter- Tupted dazedly. “How on earth could you know they were going to be all right? We didn’t know ourselves until about twenty min- utes ago.” Linda informed him. “I 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. VanNess, 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 MacKelvey “an advertising man. He firmly ignored all side issues. “Kiss me!” he commanded.

It tells you how the ailing B.

When the Willkie boom was in its infancy, an old lady wrote a Philadelphia newspaper that to. her way of thinking, the Lord had sent us (presumably the Re- publicans) Wendell Willkie. William L.
