r* TT T X<f T h Gets another glimpse of mar\jnivjJ\lij ried life at the home of Mary.

SYNOPSIS Chickle. beloved and only daughter of an old-fashioned couple, Jonathan and Jennie Bryce, feels a bit lonesome since Mary her chum has married Edward McPlke, and she refused Jimmy Blake’s marriage proposal only because he is poor. Chickie attends a party (riven especially for her by wealthy Jake Munson. Unbeknown to the others, she and Barry Dunne steal away before the party is over. Later Chickle apologises to Munson and reveals to him the hope for big returns from her father's oil investment. Munson discourages her and begs her to accept tho luxury he can give. Though she now loves Barry, she is interested in Munson and calls on sophisticated Janlna Knowles, her coworker and friend of Munson, to learn more about him. He sends her a costly pin with a love note. Unwillingly she turns down his invitation to a yachting party and for the first time permits him to kiss her. Chickle lies to Barry about the pin. At a house parly given at Bessie Abbott's country home. Chickle meets the twins. Madge and Nance Abbott, Bobby Elders and Ila Moore, an old friend of Barry's. Chickle is overwhelmed when Barry declares his love for her. The guests are occupied with various amusements and Chaffe Arnold invites Janlna for a walk. GO ON WITH THE STORY By Elenors Meherln She got up lazily and followed him. The trees laced about her long slim form. Chaffee’s arm swept out with a sudden violence and caught Janlna to him. They saw that. Barry said with a. touch of anger: “She’ll ruin that fellow's life. It’s | a darn shame.” “She had never a right to let him 1 come. He's only a kid. A girl like that can do an awful lot of harm. She should he locked up!” “Oh, Barry! Iron-hand! But men never have cared about hurting girls." 'Some of them have. That's no reason why she should go after a hoy like Chaffee. It's sordid.” For some stiange reason his words and his look caught through her with a stab of gladness. She murmured: 'But if they should care for each other?" He had his head resting against her arm. He reached his hands to her shoulder, laughing: “Ah —that makes a difference!” She let him draw her to him, exulting that, she no longer had any need to stiffen herself against him. His kisses closed her eyes with an awed Joy. • * • mHIS sense of release, of freedom tnrilled and terrified her. It came to her poignantly that night when they were driving home. They stopped on a quiet road. When he put his arm about her, she moved gaily to him. His voice vibrated. “I loved you from the, start, Chickle. But you didn't."’ She chose not to answer. <■ He persisted: ‘Why dis love me? I don't quite get it." She mocked: ‘Because you're so handsome.” ' "No. It must has because * I'm witty.” J t “It's so —'anyway isn't that enough?" And led to her that It. rose | like a> flfrbd, sweeping the two of thejn^ogether. At first it awed and frightened her. She stood in her room that nigffl. quiet, tingling from head to sot. Wildie came snooping to the door; bounded against her. his paws on her shoulder. She snuggled his head Rgainst her neck, laughed. She took his pointed nose and shook it, saving with a little gulp: “Things ain’t the same as they were, Wildie, you dear, honest thing. I'm going to change your name. Because everything’s changed. Every single thing. You tell that to someone. Tell that to Jake.” • • • Ml ONDAY and many days after that when she glanced across ■ the alley; when she wooed him from the shadow of his lißtk she felt that something wltlmi her flew down to him. When he pursed his lips, laughing, it was a bright silver bridge cast from his soul to hers. She wished to live only in these thoughts. Mary aroused her. She dropped in late one afternoon. Mary was In the living room, the baby established on a heavy comforter spread out on the floor. A big box —the salvage department—Mary called It, because each summer and winter the discarded hats worn by the Blake family were stripped of feather, ornaments, hits of ribbon, linings, and these precious savings stowed away for later use. Mary was now delving to the bottom of the treasure box seeking some dashing fancy for a felt shape she had bought. She put the hat on her head, pulling it to a rakish angle and saying with a pathetic humor to Chickle: "Madame Irene’s creation! Most becoming to dollan ninetyeight beauties' Edward is dragging me to a dinner. The manager and his wife. Mary must do the elegant act!" ' She added with a shrewd glance at Chickle: "Shall you like gentle little recreations like this, Chickle?” "What do you mean?" “Why—behold—trying to look like Lily the lady " Chickle colored. “Don’t get you, Mary!" • “But Jimmy does, ole thing! So It’s the Redhead! Well—l’d be the last persotr to yell: ‘Stop, look and listen,’ but juet the same ” “Oh, save your fears, Mary. I’ve years and years before me—” “But you've turned Jake down?

“He's away." Chickie saunutered down the block, swinging her arms with a great show of jubilance. Heat wrapped about her neck, lit her thoughts. For the first time she was again looking with a momentary lucidity at herself—the path she was taking. When the realization became too piercing she found it graciously blurring'—fading into a sweet, beautiful future. Five or six years—oh, a long time—miracles happen in five or six years. They might happen for them. Young, ardent, brilliant —Barry was all of that. What he wouldn't do in five or six years! Nevertheless, she thought of Jake, and with pique. He was surely home by now. She hadn't seen him, hadn't heard from him. It tore rather sorely at her young vanity. Janlna said to her one afternoon: “How's Jake? Haven't given him, the wide open door fpr fair, have you?” Chickie answered. unthinking: "He’s given it to me." Blank astonishment went palely over Janina’s face. "Don't tell me!” Then she smiled. “A wise boy he is with the ladies! Well, my dear, guess Jake gave you your chance. Now he’ll treat you to a little absence. If you want Jake again, you’ll call on him." "Oh, la la! He'll have a long wait, t see myself doing that little thing!" Bui she did. CHAPTER XXXIII Jake’s Return mT was for Jonathan that Chickie went to Jake. She had no thought of drawing a dark thread to complicate the gay pattern of her life. Jonathan hail come to a bitter pass. Night after night for weeks he sat at the table, his head resting heavily on his hands. He shrugged Impatiently when Jennie told him he was tired —he must rest. She made the desserts he liked, patted his shoulder. He scarcely noticed. Sometimes he got up abruptly and left the table. Jennie dabbed her wet cheeks. "Your fapier' is getting old. Chickie. He won’t last ” "Mother —oh, don't say that! He's only, working too hard." Jenhie shook her head mournful--Vv. “No. He's losing heart, Chickle. You won't have your father always." Chickie’s lips began to tremble. 'Oh, mother, why are you talking like this? Oh. It's terrible!" Jennie brushed the crumbs from the table to her plate. She kept nodding, immense tears welling in her eyes. As Chickie went through the hall an hour later Jonathan pushed her into her room, closed the door in a hushed, guarded way. He put his finger to his lips. He said distantly: "Mr. Munson doesn't come any more." "He's been away. Don't you remember?" “Oh, he's away." Jonathan's tone dropped flat, colorless. "And he's not likely to come back noon?" “Why—why, Jonathan, what makes you ask?" He ftidgeted with his mustache, lumbering like a schoolboy. “Nothing much. 1 wanted his advice. He didn't think much of my oil Investment. " His big hands were shaking. “Jonathan! You put more Into it? After all he told you?" He drew himself up ruggedly. “Hush, Chickle! I don't want Jennie to know." He told her gauntly. His stock had been assessed first for SSO, then for $125. He had paid these. Now there was a third levy for $250. In two days he must meet It or lose the $1,875 already invested. He admitted Ihis was the amount of his speculation. Jonathan said, fumbling: “Mr. Munson might tell me what to do." ! “He'll tell you not to pay another cent,” replied Chickle. "No!” It rang out grim, fighting. “They'll not do me up! I'll not he frozen out! Why. Chickie, they’ve got the oil, and they want to get us little fellows out. T’ll stick!” Grdaually he admitted that he had mortgaged the cottage, he was heavily in debt, he didn’t know where to turn. He had no idea where the money must come from, but pay he would. He stood at the bureau, leaning heavily on his great fists. He had a white, broken look that caught her heart achingly. She went over and pulled his head down, laying her soft cheek on his. “Jonathan, listen, darling, don’t look so. Get me, anyway.” His Ups were cold. He said, turning from her, “You'll ask him. then, Chickie? You’ll see him tomorrow?” * • * SHE next morning and at noon Chickle walked down the block where Jake had his of flees. She loitered near the entrance of the building, hoping to encounter him by chance. After lunch she went up through the corridors, passing his door again and again. She kept thinking of Janina’s taunt, “A wise boy he is with the ladies.” Now you’lll run after him. Jake would think that. too. Sho hurried back to work, hot with uneasiness. But in the afternoon Jonathan's harried face, the aged, desperate anxiety in his eyes, was an aching burn in her thoughts. He asked her to do this. He asked her to help him. At a quarter of five she went into he dressing room, washed her face nd hands. Her eyes were bright .ith excitement: they gleamed with ittle amber lights. Let Jake think what Jie would!

Very carefully she rouged her lips —put a tjuch of color on her cheeks. She was going to see him—now — She had a taut, alarmed sensation, as though she were doing a crucial thing. When the girl at the typewriter desS stared at her quietly and asked her name the blood leaped into her face. She had almost said ‘‘Chickle." Her nervousness heightened to pain as the girl announced metalically: ‘‘A Miss Bryce is here. Is Air. Munson in?" She was ushered immediately into a great room. She heard a soft, exultant laugh. Jake towering over her, flashing with pleasure: Chickie! You read my thoughts, did you? Here I’ve been sitting for the last hour thinking of one Helena Bryce. And the dear girl comes to see me. Bless her!" Without looking up Chickle said in a strained, protesting tone: “Well, you see I had to come.” "Bless you. you dear!" Feeling his intent black eyes searching over her face, his hand still clasping hers, she grew tremulous. She said with an eager rush: "Well, you see, Mr. Munson—” "Not I! Jake —say It." “Well, you see, Jake, it’s about Jonathan. That oil investment of his. He doesn’t konw what In the world to do. He thought you might know.” As she went stammering through Jonathan's story, tears filled her eyes. Jake patted her hand, shaking his head with amusing, kindly tolerance: '1 told him not to. That’s the pity—throwing good money after | bad." “Oh! Then you can’t do anything?" She drew her hand away. He caught her arms: "What do' you mean, my dear? Give the man | a chance. This is a big problem, j We'll thrasb It out over the dinner table. The Star Oil Refinery, Is It? I know the crooks behind it. God bless Jonathan and his oil that he sends my girl to see me!" “No! I can't go. I have the evening taken." She was almost In a panic. They were going to the the ater—she and Barry. She had anew dress to wear. It gave her a Joy to be beautiful for him. Jake laughed: ::Some one else, Chickle? So that's what you do when the cat’s away? r>et him wait! Whet his interest, my dear! And we can’t leave our darling Jonathan in the ditch, can we!” • • • : E swept her into the machine: I I— II swept her into the restaurant. li. il s ° tumultous was his eagerness. She was shaking with uncertainty. glancing about the tables with a quiver of fear. Was this right? What would Barry think? ' Oh, she wanted so piercingly to ' measure up to the look in Burry's j eyes. Jake handed her the menu. She glanced at it a long while, not wishing to raise her eyes. He touched her hand, his look so vital, so flashing with spirit It brought a hot j stain to her cheeks: "Chickie —this is great. Did you miss me? If It wasn’t for Jonathan wouldn't you ever have phoned?” "Why should I?" "You sent me away for those mis | erable weeks. Didn’t you want to know if I survived?" She laughed: "Oh, I trusted you for that!” “You took something for granted, my dear. I didn't survle At least I’m terribly afraid that I didn’t. Did you think of me at all? Were you not wondering when I got back and this and that about me?” "Well. Mr. Munson " "If you say that again I'll cut your throat!” A laugh rang gaily from her; she felt his magnetism like a sparkling warmth: "Very well, Jake! I need m.v beautiful throat or else how shall I guzzle all this sumptuous food? But I might tell you that I did wonder. Indeed, I thought it very poor friendship In you to dismiss her so lightly. And I Just suffered making myself go to see you today ” "Ah, Chickle —you don’t mean that?" "Yes—l did. And you haven’t | said a word about Jonathan or given me any advice.” "That’s settled, my dear. I'll tip off the fellows at the head of this. I know the strings to pull. Tell Jonathan not to pay that assessment. Some ore will come around to buy his stock. He's to sell ” "Can you do that?” "Chickle —I can do that. Now ask me to do something else.” "But that's glorious In you. Why, you don't know what It means to my father. It's all his money. Every bit of It.” "Does it give you a kick, Chickie? You’re a dear—worrying over other people. Let’s talk about ourselves now. I’ve a box at the opera.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

She felt the nerves throbbing evento her fingertips. She said, looking down at her elapsed hands: "No, I'm sorry, I can’t.” “When will you? Name the night." "Oh, I don't know. I’m awfully busy.” He pushed the dishes out of his way, leaned toward her. "Are you punishing me. Chickie?” "Oh no! What for? Why, no!” "You don’t want rne around at all?” The little pointed chiin moved, Jake watched It and her beautiful lowered eyes. The soft acquiescence of her touched fires in his thoughts. He said: “Chickle—ls that it? You don't want me?” “No—that’s not It." “Have you gone and got engaged then?” She didn't answer. He said with a low passionate violence: ‘You're not thinking of getting married tomorrow or the day after?" "Don’t be foolish!” "All right, then, m ydear. You name the night for the name the nights—seven a week for other things. You don't give me the out that easily.” He added with a wink of malicious mirth: "Chickie, do you think I am going to stand by and see you throw your life away like that? I’m not!" She felt a hot. withering protest —a sense of hopelessness like ft mighty wave sweeping down on her. Jake drove her home. His car was ju.it leaving. Barry came. lie sat at the wheel and stared after the limousine: he stared down the block after the limousine was gone.
