GO ON WITH THE STORY By Elenore Meherln “Quaff, my dear, and tell me hqw you tike Jake’s only original creation.” She took it hesitant, her eyes lowered, conscious that he was fixedly watching her, that his mouth was becoming tense. “Chiekie, see here! Do you think I'm giving you a drink that might hurt you? There’s nothing, in that but a spoonful of the finest old gin. A baby could drink it. You had a couple much stronger last Saturday. They didn’t seem to cloud your reac son any.” “Why—l was only looking at the colors —pretty, aren’t they?” She raised it. laughing, tasted something icy and fragrant that went tingling lmn her veins with a warm radiance, brought a glow of subtle, relaxed peace into her heart. “Now,” said Jake, leaning toward her. “I have three questions Will you answer them honestly, Chiekie?” “I'm not sure about that Mr. Munson. They say it’s much better for a girl to be wise than frank.” “Who says that —the black one?” She laughed merrily. “The Bible! We should be wise as serpents and soft as doves.” “You’re all there on the last of It —dear. Yes, you dear! But try out your wisdom, if you want. First — do you think I took you away meaning to keep you there against your will?” “Oh. no! You couldn’t do that!” “So I see. But do you think I wished to?” “Not exactly, but I thought it cruel that no one happened to let me know where we were going.” He winced. "Perhaps it was. I didn’t really think about it at all. I was feeling high and mighty, as you know. B it I’ll never let a thing like that happen to you again. The next time ” “There isn’t going to be a next time”

• • • EIDSRE suddenly darted before ber with impish mirth a picture of Jake Munson sitting in their small wicker living-room undergoing the grand quiz by the imperturbable Jonathan. It struck her so funny she laughed outright. Looking at him, her eyes shining and wide like a little girl's, she said sweetly: “I fear not, sir! Henceforth' no one takes this girl awalklng without special permission from the grand czar, Jonathan.” He grew suddenly pale. "Chiekie, did you tell your father I took you away and tried to keep you from getting home?" “No, I didn’t. If I told him that I think he would have locked me up with a ball and chain on my ankle. I wonder what your other questions may be.” > • "You’ve half answered them already. I wanted to Know if you’ve taken seriously the things Janina told of me?” “Well, Mr. Munson, Janina does not talk about you much and I think it makes her wild when other girls do.” His lips parted; he drew in his breath smiling and with relish. “But she warned you against me, didn’t she?” “Oh, I don’t know, Mr. Munson, as I’ll tel' jjou quite all my secret hopes and thoughts and gossipings!” “You do, Chiekie. You tell much more than you think. He leaned toward her, his glance passing from her clear, wide open eyes to the little pointed chin. From these he read her heart —young, ardent, wistful in its purity. Rea/1 it and had no doubts. For he was seasoned—not stem and skeptical and 24. He went on slowly, moving his hand over till it rested on hers. “Much more, Chiekie. You tell me all I want to know—except the last. Are you a little afraid of me? You don’t exactly trust me?” She shrugged gaily. “I don’t know about that! When I was little I always thought bogles and ghosts came into the parlor at nights. And you know, I can still run—so if that’s what you are!” He laughed. "You'll not be running away from me, Chiekie. You won’t wish to run.” He pressed

A subtle, quivering, more than expectance, shot through her. CHAPTER XX MJRKS mN the mirrors paneling the walls Chiekie saw herself, her cheeks red and eager; she saw 1 Munson, dark, intent, smiling. A sense of unreality pressed upon her.- She kept wondering, but with a throb of astonished excitement: “Heavens! How do I happen to be here?” Jake repeated after her, musing; "You’ve been working two and a half years and you like It * • • I suppose you earn a fair salary?” “I’ve been raised three times. You see, I’m very competent. Most people wouldn’t suppose that.” “Why?” says I have the look of angelic ‘not thereness,’ but whenever Mitchell, my boss, wants special work done he sends for me.” “He does! Oh, do you like him,” “Yes, I do. I like him better than any of the other men in the place.” “He’s a good fellow. I know his family very well. His wife Is a chum of my sister’s. She’s quite beautiful." He regarded Chiekie thoughtfully. "He showed me her picture—and pictures of his two boys. They’re awfully sweet.” "I suppose you’ll stay at your job until your shiny and beautiful thing arrives? Is that youl plan, Chiekie?" “Well, I guess I will unless we should suddenly make money In oil. Then we’d all flam t iff to Europe or to Honolulu or .ne place wonderful.” “Why count on oil for money?” “Jonathan Invested in oil last month. You see, my father has a paint store, so he knows something about oils—naturally. He’s always using them. And he got a gorgeous chance—so he took it and we’ve all kinds of fun ever since deciding what we’d do when the dividends come in.” Jake tapped with his fingers: “How much did your father put into this company?” “I think it was S6OO. Why do you look so Impatient? It’s one of the biggest fields in Texas. You ought to read some of the letters they’ve written us—oh, thrilling—they Just make your heart spring open.” “Five hundred dollars —well, that’s too bad. You want to tell your father to quit that, Chiekie. Tell him not to put another cent Info it.” She asked in a chill, flat tone, leaning forward anxiously. “You don’t think it will pay?” “I don’t think you’ll go to Europe on any money you get from your Texas oil company. But don’t

I’ve seen myself on a great steamer rolled up in a soft rug and a waiter bringing me tea. I’ve seen myself galloping across the desert, like Domine In the ‘Garden of Allah.’ But look—l’m 20 and none of these dazzling things has happened yet.” ”1 should say. then, that 20 is a good time for them to begin. You have never taken a long trip? Too bad we didn’t know each other last year. I went to Honolulu—ten of us—we had a royal time. Would you like that, Chiekie?” Behind the glistening of her eyes there flashed a quick, startled inquiry but Jake went on carelessly; “I’ve been wanting to take a run up to Detroit.

“Why, my dear? .Since you’re so competent, do you think Mitchell will take a chance at losing you? If he does, there are plenty of jobs in the world.” “Oh, no, there aren't! Not just now—not good ones.” "What’s a good job for a girl, Chiekie? Do you think the chance lo earn just enough to eat and wear fairly decent clothes is a good job? Why, look at yourself—you’re 20— you want shiny and beautiful things. You can grace them. Now, when you’re young and beautiful, you ought to have them. But, have you?” Chiekie laughed. "Young and so beautiful, indeed! I suppose that’s what that girl shoplifter thought when she helped herself to the sable coat and the French beaded bag and all sorts of silk lingerie. Os course, I should have them. I look In the windows and I know that no one could be more entrancing than I decked out like the queen of Sheba.

share if you put out your hand.” “Well, I don’t know about" that, Mr. Munson. You said it before, but I see people putting out their hands all the time and they grab off a great deal more than they wanted.” "I’ll tell you why, Chiekie. The people you speak of—your friend Mary, for" instance, knew what she wanted. But she let her emotions rise in a sneak tide and bear her to the very opposite shore. The tide goes back and there she Is stranded —her mind the dupe of her body—compelled to accept and carry the burdens her blind feelings have heaped upon her.” "Oh, I can't believe that, Mr. Munson. Mary would fly at you if you said it to her.” "And in her heart she will some day come to realize its truth. With Mary the tide may still be coming in. But there are plenty of women in the world who have watched it recede,, leaving them stripped and broken on the shpre.” “Not at all, I only menat that a girl—all girls need the soft and gentle things of life. They shouldn’t have to grow old and hard working in offices for them. And they shouldn’t let a young, foolish love that never does last cheat their lives 'of ail the brighter pleasures. You think that yourself, Chiekie." "You don't want to let yourself slide into a marriage that means washing dishes and cooking and scrimping and half a dozen children” —Jake was laughing at her softly—“da you?” "I’m not thinking of marriage or love?” “Do you mean by this that you don’t believe in love or in marriage?" “Then, Chiekie, you just begin to

You better have a good, stput barbed wire fence to keep it off unless you want to be devoured.” 0 She tossed her head flippantly: “That’s the worst of it, though! Mary says when it comes you want to be devoured!’’ "Mary is a, wise child. The sad thing is this—it only devours the heart and the happiness—it leaves the mind stalking about in bitterness to mourn the loss.” She sighed unhappily; "You think all marriage is a failure, then? All love ends miesrably?” He looked into her ardent, seeking eyes—a momentary sadness In his. He shook his head slowly. “That’s your belief, Chiekie. You said that people who grab never get anything but trouble. But I say you only have to thrust your hand in the right nest. “You can’t draw the golden egg from a mud hen.

He drove out and out. Curled low in the seat, she called out blithely: “Home, James!” “Yes—presently—we have a few moments yet.” He drove the car down a side road in the park. The wind whirled about the ground in eddies, dashed the rain In thin, silver mists againat the trees.
