Il mean that she's a lady-just as

NOTE BY MAIZE BROWN TO
HER CORRESPONDENCE
SCHOOL INSTRUCTOR:
don't want you to get the idea
Mr.. Instructor, that I am q med
dler. It was all in Mr.. Sheridan's
interests, even if he didn't know
about it. I just had to give Sheila
WILDER a tip about Mrs. Murchison
when saw how things were going,
but I had no idea at that time she
would play cat-and-mouse game
with poor Mr.. Smedley.
The next morning, Mr.. Smedley
burst into our Offices and without
paying any attention to me, shouted
at Mr.. Sheridan:
Where Is Mrs. MurchiSon?" Just
like that, not word of greeting.
Pauline? oh, she made me stand
and deliver and then spread her
wings and flew away" Mr.. Sheridan
answered. Actual fact, she ex-
pressed her trunks early yesterday
afternoon, then went out to Hoosier
Airport and boarded plane for
Chicago, where she was to make
connections for New York.
Her full purpose accomplished, she
was impatient to be on her way. BY
the way, you made quite an i'm
preston on my erratic sister; she
said you were a perfect esquire OF
lone damsels. She told me she re-
GREETED not seeing you again and
asked me to give you her sincere
regards"
Then there's no more need keep
ing quiet about her visit?" Mr..
Smedley inquired What mess!
Say, you got me In this hole and
you've got to pull me out. broke
an engagement with Sheila to enter
tain your sister.
"Sheila somehow got wind I was
dining with a strange woman and
now she's on the warpath. With your
gag in my mouth, couldn't ex-

Mr.. Sheridan laughed. Thank
the Lord" he exclaimed, that Paul

can stir up more trouble than

calm yourself, Joe, I'll pour oil Oh

I heard all of this through the
open door to the inner Office. I
was very, very busy at my typewriter
when Mr.. Smedley passed through

CHAPTER SEVEN

Mary Rogers ana her daughter
Edna, moved in entirely different
circles. Mrs. Rogers, though toler-
ant Of the efferveScent modernism
Of the younger generation, did not
try to adjust her mode of life to it.
She lived a quiet, almost secluded,
existence, enjoying the compan-
ionship Of a few friends Of her own
age and interests.
Yet, she was young in years and
spirit-just past 40-and keenly in
tereSted in her daughters friends
e and their sometimes turbulent,
rather unconventional activities. She
was a handsome woman with the
kindly, reposeful face aften spoken
of as "motherly," a Lowell counte-
nance nodded into benignity by tri-
umph over sorrow and suffering.
Reared in poverty, she had mar
ried a brilliant, young business man
who had amaSSed comfortable
fortune rapidly. His death, ten
years after Ednas birth, had
brought mother and daughter closer
in mutual affection.
But as Edna grew into woman
hood she more and more found her
own friends and went her own way.
However, they did not drift apart
in spirit. and Mrs. Rogers always
was in Edna's confidence.
On the afternoon following the
episode At the Claypool, Edna and
Mrs. Rogers were seated in the
shade of the broad veranda of their
fne, old North Meridian street
home. Edna had given her mother
, vivid account of the events of the
preceding evening. Her denuncia-
ton of Smedley and Andy and Mer-
cedes had been Scorching.
II think Shella ought to be told,
and as for Andy, I never want to
see him again." she asserted de-
family.
Il think very likely you have mis-
judged Mr.. Smedley," said her
mother, 'he Is not the kind who
conducts casual flirtationS. There
may be a very simple explanation.
But, I can not say approve of Mr..
Masters. What explanation did he
make of his very evident close
friendship with that unmannerly
girl7"
"ExplanationI" Edna exclaimed
Scornfully, why. he scarcely uttered
ten words all the way home. He did
mutter something about the girl
being his lawyers stenographer and
that he had to be nice to her ON
that account. Explanation. oh. my
Aunt Hannah's tomcat! You don't
call that an explanation"
Mrs. Rogers smiled and shook her
head. "Ycu children and your quar-
rels," she remarked indulgently. She
leaned forward and peered around
the corner of the house. Some one
is coming up the driveway" she an
nounced.
AS Edna sprang to her feet trim
little coupe slowed to a stop. Sheila
WILDER lifted hand from the wheel
and waved a greeting. She ran up
on the porch. kissed Edna and Mrs.
Rogers warmly and dropped into a
chair. Sheila was as much at home
there as in her own house. Mrs
Rogers was very fond of this sunny
haired. sunny-tempered chum of
her daughter.
Listen, folks said Sheila, I've
