SYNOPSIS Chickie, beloved and only daughter of an old-fashioned couple. Jonathan and Jennie Bryce, experiences a wild sense of joy when Arthur Sontak kisses her on returning from her first dance. He turns his attentions to Dolly Bacon when he learns Chickie loves him. Heartbroken, she starts on a'business career. Chickie's modesty causes her boss. Harry Lewis, to treat her stiffly. Sophisticated Janina Knowles, a co-worker, gives Chickie some very wrong pointers. She feels a bit lonesome since Mary her chum, has married Edward McPike, and she refuses Jimmy Blake's marriage proposal only because he is poor. Chickie attends a party given especially for her by wealthy Jake Munson. Bob and Ida Larkin and “Nicky." a bachelor, help create the gaiety which thrills Chickie. Unbeknown to tlie others Barry Dunne and Chickie steal uway nefore the party is over, ana the next day go lor a drive in the counlr> 00 ON WITH THE STORY Fly Elenorc Meherin i l S they followed the long line IyV I of machines, Chickie kept her eyes wide; delighted now and then when she saw a girl she knew and bowed to her —quite hilarious, this flying down the Hue — jaunty as anyone and with a fine, laughing fellow like Barry Dunne. They turned off the main road, wound in and out. Barry and Chickie stopped, running the car into a little bypath. He took her hands, half pulling her up the hill. They ran upward laughing. Through the leaves they could see the river gleaming. The golden hush throbbed about them with a soft gentle air, intesifying the silence —the still, remote aloneness. "Now,” he Baid, spreading his Dverc.oat on the dry grasses, “sit ye down and let us enjoy this moment. Heaven knows we’ve looked forward to it long enough. Oh, all right, then! You haven’t! I’ve looked forward to it alone. When the breeze blew your eyes across the alley, I've thought, 'lf I were only rich, I and the charming one yonder would this hour be parked out under a tree.’ And here we are'" "Yes! And it’s lovely, isn’t it?" "Better than that. I could see, of course, that you were a sweet, beautiful thing. I had no idea you were deep into the bargain." He pulled Martha's old tattered volume from his pocket with a laugh. "You dropped this on the chair.” Guilty color raced into her cheeks. But he went on: “You like him: Well, come over and make yourself comfortable. I’ll read you one. You won’t? Don’t then!" He went scanning through the book: “Oh, you have this marked—pippin, isn’t it?” He read with a deep, clear in-

WHY THERE ARE MORE THAN A MILUON Buck’s Superior Performance Every day a Buick owner realizes more and more the greater safety of Buick mechanical 4-wheel brakes, the extra reserve of power in the Buick Valve - in - Head engine, and the easier steering and parking that result from Buick’s ball - bearing, worm and nut steering mechanism.

tonation the "Lost Days.” When he finished he tossed the book from him, caught her hands and pressed them: “Golywogs! That puts a crimp in orte, doesn’t it?’ "You haven’t many lost days, have you?" "When they’re lost, girl, they’re lost! I never go snooping around waiting for ghosts to peer from corners I’ve already turned." • * • HICKIE had all of the very young girl’s eager u... ■ curiosity abqpt the inner life of a young man—especially of a gallant, pleasant fellow like Barry Dunne, She wondered grippingly if he had really "done things." She hoped achingly that he had not. She said: "I don’t believe you have many ghosts after you." "Thanks for that kind of thought! Would you mind twisting your elbow a little. That’s better.” He rested his head against her arm. “And I believe you haven’t any at all. But then you’re a most surprising girl.” He was looking up at her and laughing. “Most surprising. She won’t flirt—won’t even drop a fellow a smile, and then when he rescues her in the dead o’ night she leaves him with a cold nod —here—read—” She took the book happily —feeling herself clothed with a mysterious charm. She read on and on, her voice singing through the stillness. He was quiet—his eyes closed. She looked down—with a pang of dismay saw that he was sleeping. She sat perfectly still, looking at the fine, ruddy profile—the long brown lashes— Ais mouth so young ----full cut and sweet. A lock of the red hair blew across his forehead. Thoughtlessly she brushed It b^ck —letting her hand loiter gently. She smiled—her fingers ever so

Puzzle a Day

Many of the rhymes of Mother Goose are really clever problems that require considerable thought to solve. Spch a one is the following “As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives; Every wife had seven sacks. Every sack had seven cats. Every cat had seven kits: Kits, cats, sacks and wives, How many were there going to St. Ives?” _ Possibly a sack counts as much as a wife or a cat; or perhaps a sack does not count at all? At any rate, the mystic number seven figures prominently In the puzzle, and the more one studies it, the more complex it seems! Can you figure out the correct answer?

lightly smoothing his eyebrows. Suddenly and giving her a frightened start, his eyes opened into hers. His hands reached up, drew her down. But she would not. She shook her head—gave him a little push--sprang to her feet. Ho stretched and yawned and laughed "I suppose we’ll have to go.” He put his arm about her waist—and whispered, bending over her, “Why so hard and stern. Just one—please ” She felt him leaning down —she would have liked to raise her face and find the kiss falling! Her lips were ready—her mind held back — She said, “No—no—please don’t!" She let the moment go—but with regret. Until she saw his eyes quick. A triumph swept her. He liked what he had not got— She would remember that. She thought about it smiling as they sat at the gay little- dinner. | He made her talk—made her tell about herself. She told a little and made up a lot. He listened with his gray eyes twinkling. Afterwards they took a ride along Kessler boulevard. A warm, balmy night— a dozen automobfles parked with their lights out—couples citting in the back. Chickie saw the forms, close together She felt nervous, a little ashamed...... He slumped down, his orm behind her, and smoked. "Dfd you enjoy the day, Chickie?” "Beautiful—all of it—” “Take off your hat, please.” He touched her hair. “There, and tomorrow when you look out the window, will you smile?" "Yes—but you aren’t a lonely fellow at all—l can see that now—” "Yes, I am—very I'm not strong for parties like 1.-st night, but they’re the only kino people give these days. I enjoy a time like we’ve had a lot better. You’re the only girl—" She waited breathless, feeling his eyes intent on her face—- * You're the only girl like you I’/e met out here—” "In the whole three years?” “Yes, and I’d be likely to wait three more and three more after that —. I knew it from that first day I saw you ” “At the window?” “Yes—and your hair ih the sun —let me see—” , He turned her sharply, looking Into her eyes, a lighter eagerness In his face. “Yes, at the window —anywhere—you’re beautiful!” And suddenly—like that—holding her, his lips laughed and closed on hers. CHAPTER XVIII .Fanina’s Warning HE closed her eyes—a moment unreslstant—heard a - high, free note strike out exultant in her heart. She sAld softly, "You shouldn't. It wasn't fair.” "Ah—but so sweet—” She clasped her hands, silent, looking down, startled to find herself wondering and half wishing that he might do it again. He took her hands, pressing them. “I.ook here, Chickie, you’re not angry with me.” “But I told you not to—” "One little kiss? Would you he that stingy?” “I don’t think kisses are such little things. Anyway, I’m saving mine.” "Every first, last, single one of them?”

"Yes.” “For whom?” “For somebody great and noble.” He laughed. “Well, I guess that s I. since 1 got it.

Suddenly, as she absently hung up her dress, Mary’s fling of the morning darted into her mind: "I see it’ Chickie, you’ll be married and settled down like I am In a year." She turned on the light briskly, saying half aloud: “Oh, yes, any old time! Very likely I’ll walk Into that! Pooh—a kiss —what’s that?” But her thoughts dwelt on it.

She had been placed In a hideous position She would walk In, quietly, waiting for Janina to open the attack. _ Janina did—but not in the manner Chickie expected. "Good morning.” she said pleasantly, when Chickie entered. "Hall to the virgin and martyr.” Chickie gave her a flaring look of anger. Janina shrugged. “You didn’t need to worry, Chickie. Make an idiot of yourself. 'Frald some one was going to ru in you? Don’t have to kidnap girls in this day and age!" They were sharp arrows quivering In her flesh, but she said loftily: "All your sarcasm, Janina, doesn’t cover up the contemptible trick you did!” “I did!" with a shrill curve to the prolonged “I." "Well, of all the nerve! I suppose you were drugged and carried off bodily. I suppose I held the sponge over your nose!” "You could have told me we were lo stay all night.” "I don’t know where you thought we were going. Straight down Market St! Anyway. Chickie, you did me a worse trick than I would dream of doing you. You got me In wrong with the whole crowd. You spoiled the whole affair. And It was a rotten way to treat Jake. You could at least have shouted ‘Goodby.’ ” She kept this up, going back over It until Chickie felt herself pushed against the wall. She said finally,
