much, and we'll live simply. So it's enough.
She didn't tell him that she knew he had
been restless recently and that he had been
thinking of his dancing and of the champagne
taste of the success which was still new enough
to be Intoxicating. She didn't tell him that
she wanted him to stay there with her, that
she knew they had enough to last them -
modestly - the rest of their lives =. be-
cause, above all things, she didn't want him
to feel shackled She loved him that much
And so she argued persuasively and etfec-
lively: Were not young - either of us,
Tony. The day wasn't far off when you'd have
had to get new partner anyway
Pm two years older than you, he said
Indignantly. You're kid
I'm thirty" she reminded him gravely.
That's not young - for dancer"
! oU look twenty-two."
I'm thirty she said again. You're
thirty-two, but it s different with man.
He said, II couldn't dance with anybody
else
You can, though. With anybody. Did it
ever occur to you, Tony, that you're pretty
close to being genius?'
He swore at her then, loudly and affection
ately. He said it was all right for her to be in
love with him if she had no more sense, but
that she was making complete fool of her
self to say that he was in her class as dancer.
She was the team, he insisted; he was merely

a prop - graceful perhaps, but that was all.
You can buy partners like me for a dime
dozen," he insisted vigorously, land don't
propose to make monkey of myself by
Topping with another woman
She was grateful and happy. She'd always
wondered about that, secretly. She thought
she was good, yet it was so easy to dance with
Tony 1t had been that way - ever since
they were youngsters. She wanted to believe
him - yet, even more than that, she wanted
to believe that lie was genius. And so she
continued to argue until he showed up one
day with a slender, supple, beautiful young
thing named Joyce who had rhythm and grace
to her finger tips; who had been we'll trained
and whose warm blue eyes sparkled with
excitement at the chance of becoming the
dancing partner of the great Tony.
Brenda directed the rehearsals, but there
were moments when she couldn't help think
ing that Joyce was very young, very beautiful
and very desirable. Yes, it was true :.
Tony had yet to scale the ultimate heights,
and he couldn't be so blinded by love as not
to see that here was girl whose youth and
freshness transcended, in effect, the greater
experience and technique of Brenda.
Brenda went to their debut at fashionable
night club and was introduced and applauded.
But when that engagement was over, she re-
fused to 90 with them to Detroit and Chicago
and Los Angeles Instead, she went back to
the little place on Long Island and read their
Evening star., 1940-03-10

reviews - which praised, but which always
spoke of her. The words were sweet, but some
times they made her bitter, because they
spoke of her always in the past tense. She
knew that next year they would not mention
her at ALL
Tony wrote so often that she wondered
how he had time for anything but his letters.
He sent her crazy kilograms. He telephoned.
He was devotion itself - missing her, want
ing her, begging her to join him.
But she didn't go. Things were to be this
way, and she knew she must adjust herself
Until the accident they had lived one life.
Now it was two. Not for worlds would she
have confessed how she missed him, how
bitterly lonely she was. And she wouldn't
confess, even to herself, that she was afraid
kAND then it was spring again - very late
spring - and Tony was home. She had antici-
pated his return, but the actuality was even
more exciting. She could get around pretty
well now, with the special brace they had
made for her knee - but that was ALL The
medical verdict still precluded the possibility
of again dancing professionally.
Yes, Brenda knew that, and Tony knew it,
too. One day he left the green freshness of
their little place on Long Island and went into
the city, where the heat shimmered in waves
above paving that was soft underfoot. Tony
went to the office of Jimmy keso.
Jimmy was Tonys agent, and he knew all
there was to know about show business In
addition to that he was friend II raised
you and Brenda from dance pups" he was
fond of reminding Tony Its a feather in my
cap that you turned out to be sleek Russian
wolfhounds."

p pc HELD her tight and whired with her,
their bodies pressed close. Then he
d 0hung her away from him, toward the
tables which bordered the polished floor.
He stood watching, alert and graceful,
while she whirled . until her hand again
found his, and he pulled her toward him. She
would come easily, lightly, smilingly .
and they'd be close again while the expensive
crowd waited with impatience for the mo-
ment when their applause would be appro-
pirate.
But this time Brenda didn't come to him.
She took one step. spun, and then her body
lurched ungracefuly. Pain and fear came into
her eyes, and she would have sprawled on the
floor had he not caught her. From the crowd
there was murmur of surprise. They said,

"Aaaaaaah in chorus, just like that,
and way off in a corner a woman screamed.
Tony lifted her in his arms and carried her
into their dressing room. He
said Oh my darling -
and then he asked, Does
it hurt much" She smiled Al
bravely and she kissed him, -
and he knet beside the couch
and held her in his arms -
saving gentle, foolish things ~
- until the doctor came.
Even after they had put
her to bed in grimly anti

and had given her something NIT
to make her sleep, Tony an

The doctor had made grave
pronOuncements. He had -

INJURIES he said, were always
bad. this one particularly so.
She probably would never
dance again profession
ally; certainly not that mad,
exciting routine which had
brought them close to the
pinnacle of their profession.
1t had happened suddenly. No warning -
no precaution that might have prevented 1t.
And career had ended. just when 1t seemed
that everything they wanted was in their
grasp. They already had fame. but there was
even more to be had; they had accumulated
a little money - the cottage on Long Island
had been paid for and furnished - but what
they'd put aside against the happy day of
their voluntary retirement wasn't yet enough
1t had been SO very close, and now it was so
far away.
There was one other thing, too, that they'd
never had enough of; one thing which they
still had
They had each other.
They laughed about it when they were
alone In the raritied atmosphere of their new
world it was not quite correct to be in love
with ones husband or to adore ones wife.
But neither had it been correct to keep their
old team name of Brenda & Tony. The Brenda
part was all right. but the other ought to be
something intrguingly foreign, their agent had
argued. But they vetoed his idea, and now
the name Brenda & Tony was fashionable
because they had made it so.
Brenda's accident ended their engagement
at the Skytop Room; it compelled them to
cancel at the Penguin Club which was to
follow They.went to their little place on Long
Island the first home they d ever owned -
and were very happy Brenda's leg got some

knee so that she could hobble about first
with crutches and then with stick, and they
were glad that it was spring and that touch
of green was beginning to brighten vista
that had been brown and gaunt.
They were both thinking of the thing which
neither dared mention, and it was she who
brought up the subject - thoug h not until
spring had merged into summer and they
knew that the fall was not far distant. 1t was
then that Brenda asked him - and she had
trained herself for days to be casual about
it - when he was going to start rehearslng
with a new partner.
He tried to argue that she'd be fit as fiddle
pretty soon, but she smiled and said, You
know better" and he had to confess that he
did. Then he said, We'll retire. We have

Cheap Wiring Job
Is Often Costly
At Later Date
Electrical Expert Warns
Work That Is Inadequate,
For Future Expansion

An inadequate wiring job is
expensive, no matter how low the
original cost, says A. V. Kre-
watch, specialist in rural electri-
fication for the University of
Maryland extension service. He
declares that under competitive
bids wiring contractors will many
times install small wires and low
capacity switches and services
which meet the approval of SAT-
ETY. and inspection service, but
which are entirely inadequate for
future expansion.
In addition, there may be con-
siderable line and voltage losses
that mean less service for each
dollar spent. Mr.. Krewatch says
that examples of this penny
wise, pound foolish" practice are
numerous. A certain Hartford
county farmer has had three
pump motors burn out in four
years because wires from his
buildings to the pump were too
small. A truck farmer in New
Jersey was losing $25 worth of
current a month through line
losses to his hotbed installation
because wires between the bed
and services were too small.
Efficiency of lights may be re-
duced one-third through faulty
wiring, and machinery may re-
quire more current because of a
ten per cent loss in voltage in the
wires. If poultry equipment is to
be added to or heavier motors en-
ployed, it would be wise to see if
rewriting is needed.
When a rewriting job has to be
done to take care of expansion
most farmers realize that it would
have been far cheaper to have had
the job done right in the begin
ming, says Mr.. Krewatch. Be-
fore attempting a rewriting job, he
recommends that the local county
agent or power company represen-
tative be consulted so that sound
wiring program can be worked
out.
