GO ON WITH THE STORY By Elenore Meherln CHAPTER XXXVII • Love’s Sway mIMMVS eyes all black, his white, excited face moved her strangely. She said, with a little odd pathos, “Jimmy, darling, would you like to see me come trailing my wings In the dust just so you could brush them off?" “Lord forbid, Chickie!” he grinned. “But if brush you ever need, I’ll bet I know who'd give a lot to find It for you.” He kept laughing. "Imagine you loving a fellow, Chickie. Say—well, hope he knows how lucky he is." She felt sorry for Jimmy—dear Jimmy, that she'd loved all her life. She thought of him with a touching beauty, her eyes misted; but as a figure in the distance—the tall boy, with muscles of Iron, digging the cave for them in the vacant lot; the mighty one, who set off double-head-ed dutchmen on the Fourth of July and laughed because they clapped their hands over their ears, screaming. She didn't think of the Jimmy who sat next her now grinning, hut a rrfan’s heart pleading ,and suffering in his eyes. The glory of h.er own love wrapped about her like a luminous, soft haze, settling her apart as one on a mountain top. Jimmy was allowed to pass as Jake passed. With a creamy sadness, sweet as remembered music, she watched them go. She wished to be alone —young priestess in the temple. She wanted to clear her life of all other interests. Sometimes she imagined Barry and herself standing above the world— just they. no breath, no thought, no light except one through the other—moving so in radiance through eternity. * • HE told this to him shyly. He laughed. "Kiss me, you ... . sweet, poetic thing. But don't let s fly to the clouds for a year or so. We’ve not seen the earth yet." “A year or so, Barry? Why, I thought it was to be at least five or six before we could even think of it.” He colored, drawing a deep startled breath; “Well—you grow literal indeed! I thought that perhaps on your lighted mountaintop all things would be us. We wouldn't need to eat or earn or succeed. As it is—or’y your dungeon that you don't like a bit —yawns." She said vaguely, trembling: “I wonder if it is so terrible, after all.” He threw her a sharp, dubious glance and whistled. He was silent for a long while. This five or six-year wait was in the hack of Chickie's mind, disturbing. like a small burr that sticks recurrentl.’ into the skin, managing, however, to elude detection. She caught herself stopping abruptly iin the middle of the street or falling into a deep meditation In the midst of her typing. She saw the five or six years stretching out in dreary indefiniteness. . . . she felt a chill finger pressing down on her heart.

It was borne in on her fiercely, with a little fainting terror one night when Barry came to take her for a rifle. He had been working hard. Things hadn’t gone right. He was tired. They sat in the car. He smoked, looking straight before him. A white moon rode coldly” in a leaden sky. A small, delicate cloud fluttered out suddenly, casting this way and that, frightened like a child that is lost. Uhickie traced it. She felt sad. She wanted Barry's arm about her. She wanted him to he looking down at her. Her eyes stole about his face, growing warm because he looked so strong and beautiful to her. She wondered why ho didn't speak; why he didn’t kiss her. With an impetuous yearning she moved her hand •■long his arm, twined her fingers under his. "Oh—hello, dear," he said, pulling her to him. It was pain that she took with a sharp, aching Joy. She laughed, feeling her eyes wet; "Hey, there, Redhead! I love you too much." She knew what Mary meant when she said: "When you love, you suffer—you want to suffer." Half teasing now. she asked: "Does it make thee glad, Barry, when I smile?"

—Posed by Edytiie Elliott and Robert St. Clair of the BerkeU Player*, “Kiss me, you sweet thing.”

“It do, indeed, ma'am." "And broken hearted when I'm gloomy?” “Ah—see the whole aorta going to smash!" She smiled. She thought wistfully: "But that’s the way it is with me." ERR mood rose to a sparkling gayefy—even when he came to hla window and grinned up at her. She couldn't hide the pleased flush staining her cheeks. Janina became aware of this and used to watch with veiled amusement. sometimes dropping a. note on Chickie’s desk, other times jabbing her with her elbow and giving a knowing wink. She said one noon-* time: "So you're putting all your eggs in one basket, f'hickie?" “What do you mean, Janina, dear? Something quite deep and subtle. I take it.” "You get me, kid. all right. After all my years of training behold the fruit of my labors! Well, Red's a nice boy. but have you figured, baby. that by the time he has money enough to keep an expensive decoration like yourself you’ll no longer be ornamental?” "Why ro cruel, Janina? My charms will grow with my years." "You know it! They'll grow wrinkled and yellow like eveiything else about us. A girl's a fool if she doesn't get herself planted in a beautiful jardiniere while she still can grace it. You see it gives one such a. nice setting to wither away In. But who do you think is going to furnish handsome pottery for .1 plant that is already in the sere and yellow leaf?" “Janina, I thought you were the great believer in love?" "Uhickie- —fine talk. Use love —don't let it use you! That's the tragedy of women! Would the most reckless autoist drive a car down a steep grade unless he were sure of his brakes? But that's what this female sex does. They shout: Here goes to glory!’ Their. hearts are the engines—the fools scorn to use their minds as the brake. They think it magnificent to plunge headlong. Well—that road goes over the bank nine times out of fen!" Chickle laughed: "Grand smashup—all lives lost. Odd, isn’t it, Janina, dear, that the victims don't seem to realize the extent of their injuries? Seem to like their hurts. I know several." "Lots of bandages in the world to hide our sores from prying eyes, baby. Bad enough to play the fool without shouting it from the housetops. Uhickie, do you mean to tell me that a fellow like Jake has no attraction for you?” Chickie winced —her face scarlet. She said flippantly: “Well, Janina, soap and water have a great attraction for me. .Taka's no nice and clean always and so spirited, of course, I find him agreeable.” "That's honester than I expected." Janina crumbled the bread —forgetting Uhickie for the moment. Finally she smiled: "Uhickie. I believe .Jake would marry you."

Puzzle a Day

A man divided a sum of money among his five sons. To the first son he gave one-sixth of the whole sum, and $240 besides: to the second, one-fifth of what remained, and S2BB more. To the third he gave onefourth of the remainder, and $360; to the fouujth, one-third of what was still left, plus S4BO. To the fifth son, he gave one-half of whnt still remained, and $720 besides, leaving nothing more. How much money did he have, and how much did each receive? I,net pnzxle answer:

I. ksdk4dk

The M clown was cleverer than the rest. .He stood on his head iaut of the tj).

“And I believe that he shall not!” "Don’t, tell me, Chickie,'that you’d refuse Jake. If you like him enough to kiss him—oh, don’t deny it! Put up any kind of a bluff to your own thoughts, but the girl doesn't live that wouldn’t blush and like Jake's arm around her. I don't care how proud and pure she Is! All made the same—all have a pulse In our wrists and too many in our hearts. You like .Take enough for that—marry hitn, and with all the divine luxuries of limns and servants you'd he on your knees with rapture In three months. “Plant even a very' little love In a nice garden and it grows. That’s true. And the converse likewise holds Set the most flourishing love you ('an find on the rock of poverty and it dies!”

C r— ” HIUKIE was always a little shaken when Janina tore at J the fine silver garment she draped about life, and now especially about love. She saw herself whimsically as a dried-up stalk, Its leaves brown and falling. She laughed. Shc'began to wonder if they might not scheme some way to hasten money and success. She began to save a little. Then a delightful thing happened. She got a raise of sir. a month. She was now earning $125. In a year, if she put away $25 each month, that would give S3OO. Quite a stupendous sum to have all at once—enough to pay down on the living room furniture! With a shy giggle, she spoke of it to Barry. “I’m turning heiress, Mr. Reid. Do you know that in a year I’ll have $300?” "And what, sweet one, will you do with it? Take a world tour or buy up the Kimberly diamond mines?” She flushed and smiled. "I have other plans—original-like." Halting, not at all sure of herself, she went on: "Why. my dear, kind friend. I'm to save up. In four years I'll have $1,200. Isn't that staggering? So, you see why, two people can do quite a lot with vast riches like that!" His mouth drew straight and pale. She noticed that his hands on the steering I wheel clenched, the knuckles shiny. She slid down a little in the seat. He said, without looking at her: "Chickle you're not to dreafn of such a thing! You Just enjoy every cent you earn. Four years—why, how do you know what may happen by then?”

CHAPTER XXXVI IT Stella's Affair P" I TERRA WIRSON, on her way | |to the dressing room, passed l±U Chiokte's desk. She walked with a kind of angry violence that struck Chickle with curiosity. Half an hour later, Stella had not returned. A note from .Tanina dropped in Chickie’s lap. “Wonder whatfa biting the old girl now. Better go out and kid her along. You’re good at the soft stuff. Maybe her lifelong suitor has given her the ditch as I’ve predicted he would." Stella was given to moods of frightful depression. Chickle was ‘acitly elected by the four other girls in the office to act as sympathizer; to listen pityingly while Stella poured out the grievances of her thirty years. The office was acquainted with Stella’s furious wrongs. She was brought up with two older sisters under strict Methodist discipline. These two sisters were also unmarried and still dependent upon their father for support. They regarded S ella as "the baby." Even at he * present age

they exercised vigilant censorship over her personal affairs. If she came home late they or the father and mother demanded an explanation. On the rare occasions when she had a caller they saw that the parlor door was left open. Stella declared that one of the four was everlastingly passing up or down the hall. The upshot of it was that Stella ■had no poise, no self-sufficiency, no repose. She was a good booking girl, but her flighty mind gave the lie to her strong, attractive face. She was a flat failure A'ith men, except for John Bluely. John had been on the verge of proposing for seven years. He was Stella's perennial hope of matrimony. Twice in the six months she had been in the office he had taken her dancing. She wore roses to work the next day and typed in a dream, believing that at last John had capitulated. At twenty-four she could have married him. Her mother, in some mysterious way whether by passing down the hall, sneezing or an inauspicious cough—was cred ited witn scaring him off. He never quite made up his mind again. Stella considered her life blighted She. blamed her family. Janina and she had frequent clashes. Once Janina said: “Stella I’ll give you a tip. Follow it am you'll land a husband in a month "Here it is—live up to the guar antee given by yeur phiz. You've got the queenly look, why don’t you take your cue from that and sit quiet on your throne when a man comes all primed to bend the knee? Men worship the woman they serve.
