He said with his lips straightened: “Chickie!” And nearer, at her ears, “I love you.” “Oh, Barry—” He drew her so close, his heart heat loud against her own. They danced. They were alone, oblivious of the couples about them: the low hum of laughter: the procession shouting ■with merriment that wound incessantly t oand from the punch bowl. When the music ceased she felt as one coming with pain from a dream of overpowering sweetness; fighting against awakening. With a shock she heard Janina at her shoulder: “Come now.

—Posed by Edythe Elliott and Robert St Clair of the Iterkell Players. With a little sob, her hand flew to his neck, drew his head down,

"Oh. have w„ i ? Why—every one is dancing.” Janina's laugh rippled boisterously: “Guilty conscience, is it? Didn’t mean to surprise that. Take a stroll, Chaffee, the dear Hebe carries the jug of Bacchus in his ear.” The blond youth with his petulant mouth and dark, storming eyes flushed with pleasure. "Well, I don't know as It’s that good, Janina —but fair enough at that.” The lights from the house threw a soft, yellow glow over the terrace and into the dark bowl that was the garden. In this pale, shimmering reflection couples sauntered —dim, elusive, poetic—in and out among the trees. Other couples, garish and noisy, whisked gaily from the ballroom to the automobiles parked everywhere among the shrubs. Chaffee Arnold’s sedan was hidden among poplar trees on a sharp twist of on old road. He took a silver flask from a pocket near the driver’s seat, passed it around with a pleased, eager look at Janina. “I had a lot of trouble getting this. It’s the old man's finest stuff. Is it ail right?” Janina laughed. “All right? It is. Not all gone, I trust?” He shook the bott.e. "Enough for a round or two more.” Janina answered, letting her head rest on his shoulder: “Chaffee, dear, you’re a bright young thief. 1 have hopes for you! Make yourselves comfortable, you in the rear. We shan't see you!” * • • HICKIE sat with her hands clasped. YVhen she saw Chas- ■ ii. fee's fair head bend to Janina’s'face she grew hot with embarrassment. Suddenly the tears rushed to her eyes. When Barry slipped his arm to her shoulder she sat upright, saying, with a little start, “Oh, don’t you think we should be going back? They'll think we’re frightfully Impolite.” From the depth of a delicious languor Janina asked: “Who’ll think that, Chickie? Who'll worry about us?” “Why, Bess, of course —and everyone. I haven't even been introduced to a soul, yet!” A quiet laugh: "Listen to the baby! What's the trouble, Chickie? Aren't you and Red satisfied with each other? Too bad? Too late to swap now. What do you think, ole dear —they’re waiting for us to come in and play 'Ring Around Rose’ or musical chairs?” Barry touched her hands, “Want to go, Chickie?’’ She nodded. He said aloud:““Abuth —but that's winsome music, Janina. Come in and I’ll dance with you.” “You’ll have to promise more than that, Red, my dear. Be on your way if you like. Chaffee and I’ll keep the back seat warm for you.” The night touched about them genty—humming. She turned her hand eagerly In his. He said: “Are you cold? Suppose we take a walk?” She felt herself blending with the shadows: with the strains of distant music floating on the low October breeze. They went slowly down the terrace and on. He said, "Chickie, please—Oh, I have to know—tell me. Well, let’s sit here a while.” He had just parted the heavy vines; he had almost stumbled against the figures sitting on the bench when a laugh darted at thm

Barry at the house party tells Chickie that he loves her.

—high, shrill: “Ha, ha! Too late! Occupied!" Chickie sprang back, shaking. His arm stiffened against her. He dropped the vines—hot with anger. After a long silence he said: "Listen, Chickie!” She waited. He stood beside her and suddenly reached down and took her hand: "Don't be unhappy! Why for? Beauteous night—thee and me —the stars —look up. please.” • • • SHEY had wandered to the pool. The darkness closed on them like an Immense black flower. They were in its heart, listening to its pulse, the high throbbing song of the cricket weaving Itself incessantly into the silence. He took her bands, pressing them against him. He reached over and touched her hair: "Chickie—you tell me—please—oh, I have to know. I love you.” laughter shivered through her. “Listen. I’m not asking you to marry me. I can't—l can't think of It. But, anyway, just say it. Chickie, you’re beautiful. I Just want to know—a red head like me? Oh. you don't.” His fingers caught her shoulders, the full, sweet mouth parted. She felt his eyes mingling with a wild Joy In hers. With a little sob. her hands flew to his neck, drew his head down. She said, half crying: “Oh—oh!” and closed her eyes, waiting for his lips. He put her hands against his face, held them ’.here. "Chickie, you mean it. Sa again." Tears rushel into her eyes. He kissed them. She clung to his hand. She wanted to press his face against her throat. She shut her eyes—shut the world out. She felt her spirit sinking to Its knees—dropping its face with a fierce pang of Joy in its hands. She said swiftly: "Yes, I love you. Oh, Barry—yes!” “Then why are you crying? Oh, don’t do that— ’’ •"No, I'm not—oh—” She smiled and let her head rest happily against his shoulder. They went out softly, as though a prayer trembled on the still breast of the Water. At the end of the sequestered path he stopped, facing her: "Chickie—you won't take it back tomorrow? It wasn’t just the garden and the music?” “Oh, no—no —” “I? You love me?” There rose within her a terrible exultance. She felt suddenly that she would like to and shout: “Oh, you! You!” She was shaken —pale with emotion when she stole quietly to her room. The streaming light wavering under the door stifled her. For a long while she didn't enter. • • mLA MOORE, her bright half in two long braids, was siting up in bed—propped with pillows: “Oh, you came in early. I thought I was the only farmer here.” “Why, It’s nearly one.”

THE IN DJLA-N AROULS TIMES

“But listen!” From the dance hall the music climbed upward in a lonely, haunting strain. There was no sound of footsteps—except now and then a swift, soft padding across the leaves—the couples coming and going from the machines. Ila said, stretching her arms: "Did you have a good time? I looked for you and Barry, hut you never can find any one here after the first hour." "Yes—” Chickie stood at the bureau, her head lowered. It seemed to her that her heart would batter her flesh in two. ‘Yes —isn't it independent, though? I never was at such a do whatever you please place before." "Weren't you? You and Barry have known each other a long time, haven't you?” Chickie glanced in the mirror, caught a glimpse of the sweet, tranquil face. The lips were parted —vivid with eagerness. Chickie answered absently: “Oh somewhat!” Ila said lightly: "Isn’t he good company? I think I’ll get up early. If you want to read—don't mind about the light.” She stretched herself down, clasping her hands under her head. Ghiokie looked for a moment into the soft loveliness of Ila's sac its eyes closed in such serene quiet. She switched out the light. She sat on the bed, her arms wound about her knees. Her heart knocked. Presently she heard Ila breathing In the deep regularity of sleep. She stole softly to the balcony. The breeze touched with cool, uplifting fingers on her flaming face. She leaned against the roses, crushing them. She put out her hands, sending an ardent cry through the stillness: “Oh—l love you—” She crept back to bed and lay there a long time motionless. She turned her face against the pillow whispering, “YVhat am I to do?" CHAPTER XXXII Youth Dreams T 9 o’clock the house was still wrapped In the cloistral hush • of early morning. Chickie awakened to the sun dropping a golden ray across her Jsed. She opened her eyes slowly, the memory of the night coming over her with a thrill. She saw herself drawing his head down. Her thought flushecj warmly. She lay there wondering, yielding herself to the exquisite little waves that rose over her. Now and then she said with a smile: “Loves me! Oh—” She sank deliciously into these memories as into a warm, sparkling pool. Finally she Jumped from bed. dressing with a buoyant swiftness, lapsing at brief Intervals into the dream. She went out and stood on the balcony. On the terrace was Barry Dunne. He had his hat off, the beautifully set head raised, his profile sharp against a clear, blue sky. Her heart tightened—so glorious he seemed. At that moment it was incredible to her that he had spoken; still more astonishing that she had answered.

You Can Double Your Money Not overnight—but it is true that money ai 4%% doubles itself in 15Vs years. Suppose you can save $5,000 by the time you are' 35, and allow this to work for you, undisturbed—at 50 you will have $10,000; at 65, $20,000; thus assuring your financial independence, even if you do not save another cent.

Now she rejoiced in the sudden release of her emotions. As though she had been standing on a dark threshold, unwilling to move—and suddenly found herself in the full sunlight. It poured on her soft, golden, like a rush of songs. Suddenly he saw her —came over quickly. She leaned down, laughing into his eyes. He said with his lips: "I love you.” , She answered, grinning: “I know. Say something else.” These two Images of him flashed into her mind—remained there indelible and luminous. Afterwards when she thought of that Sunday—she saw him always—standing their like that. His presence gave a touch of sheer beauty to a day that would otherwise have aroused and troubled her—the girls coming to the breakfast table in the filmiest of negligees; the shocking stories tossed off gaily; Marge, the runaway, sitting on the lap of her fiance, sulkily allowing him to feed her; the frank absorption of the couples one in another. Chickie expacted some general concourse of the guests—an Immense basket lunch, then off to some hilarious picnic. But by noon the guests had all disposed of themselves with apaprent satisfaction. Some were at the tennis courts few of the hardier ones were swimming, others in groups of two or four ha/1 briskly ordered the cook to put up sardwiehes. They went whisking away In machines. * • • m A NINA, very fresh and handsome an orange. sweater and a white and orange skirt, appeared at 12 o'clock. She was in an amiable mood. "Well, my dear, how went the night?” She dropped her arm about Chickie. "Most sweet.” “It did. But most swift. Suppose we four wander down the stream or somewhere? Bess promised to join us, but I haven’t the heart to wake the dear girl.” Chaffee Arnold, very youthful with his moody eyes and the little boy petulance of his curved mouth said aggressively: "I thought we 'were going for a ride Janina?” ”\Ve may do that yet. Chaffee dear. Don't be so Impatient.” Chickie had a sudden, quick impulse of pity for him. Not more than 21. Janina was 25. But he worshipped her. That afternoon he lay on the grovnd, plucking grasses, tickling her hand, listening with devotion when she talked. Once she ran her hand over his cheek and down about his chin. He sprang to his feet and walked away. Ten or
