Chlckle (Helena), only daughter of Jonathan and Jennie Biyce, feels a bit lonesome since Mary, her chum, has married Edward McPike, and she refuses Jimmy Blake’s proposal only because he Is poor. Chlckle attends a party given for her by wealthy Jake Munson. Though she and Barry Dunn now love each other, she is interested in Munson and calls on sophisticated Janina Knowles, her coworker and friend of Munson to learn more ab ut him. He sends her a costly pin with a love note. Chickie lies to Barry about the pin. At a house party given by Bess Abbott. Chiokie meets Xla Moore, an old friend of Barry. Upon Chickie’s request, Jake arranges so her father does not lose on his oil Investment. Chickie fears the fate that befell Stella Wilson, because of her lengthy engagement, and subtly tries to urge Barry to think of their marriage as a present possibility, even though ho believes he cannot afford it. He frowns on her suggestion that she would continue working. > Jake tells Chickie he considers Barry’s feeling only a boy’s love mid that he will be waiting when Barry has jilted her. GO ON WITH THE STORY By Elenore Meherin It was quite a while before she spoke of it to him. Often no tv as they rode in the evenings, she stole glance at his wonderfully set head. A little faint terror throbbed through her because it swept her so —just watching him. Sometimes she reached her hand to his neck, touching his cheek, whispering: "Barry, I’m dying all for lpve. And you?” "And you do that again, frail — heaven knows what will happen." She said softly, ready either to sing or to cry: "Barry—it seems as though we’re at the -top of the world all alone. And I love it! It seems that I don't need or want „a thing but you. A little while ago if any one told me I would be willing to stand the hard things—and oh—just want to stand them, I would have Jeered. I would have run from that window of yours yelling blue murder." His mouth, full cut and sweet, came down to hers: "You really love me that much, Chlckle. Why? Say it again.” "Then are you glad? But did you want It to turn out like this?” Looking into her eyes, he shook his head: “No, ma’am. Or I would have hitched up my belt and run like the devil.” “Oh, you would?” He was suddenly remembering the idle September afternoon when he had stood at the window flirting. How aimless and happy all his fancies. Just a pretty face above him —Just a bright dash of color tossed Into ihe day’s work. Os course he hadn’t planned on this. Chickie repeated: “You would have run—oh, why?” He said, grinning but honest. “Well, you’ve answered It yourself. Who craves hardship or struggle? And I, a penniless youth riled with ambition! Why, when you first began to t'lrt wtlh me—oh. all right, th&n, when I flrat gave you the merry eye, I thought it would be sweet to love you in a nice, Bummery way, such a lily-face as it was perched there above mo ■■ Her eyes saddened and lowered; her white hands lay clasped In her lap. The sweetness of her went through his senses subtly like faint, lulling music. He took her hands and pressed them: “Chlckle —that Was long ago—beforehand, a.s it were. Now—well now, I only think of you and how dear you are ” “And you want It to stay like this—and stay ’’ ■<Yes now don’t think of gloomy things. We don’t have to. Don't begin bringing a terrible future down on our Innocent heads. Ah—Chickie —look up—catch It as <t falls!*' ' She clung to him—glad tears against his heart. He came one evening a few weeks later with a gerat package that ho held by a wooden handle. He hunched his head down against his shoulders, red, grinning: '“Got something—Chickie listen, here’s a present—me to you. And say—news! Remember that Ila Moore that you met at the Abbots? Father has all kinds of Jack” Chlckle broke in, breathless—a sharpness In her throat: “Yes! W’hat about her?” "Saw her father today—may get a big chance.” "With him? With Ila’s father?” She drew her hands together. “Through him.” "You’ll take it?" “Well, will I!” He thrust the enormous package into her hands. ’Take It, frail. Say—if we get this, we’ll be sitting pretty. You in’ yer steady!” He stooped and kissed her. "Pretty good, sweet?” A pause—and then she answered. CHAPTER XLVTIT. Brightening Road i<Cr"| ID Ila get this chance for |j you?” A little smile curved at her lips, but her breath caught sharply. Almost with pain she watched his face. "No—her father. Here, look out for that. It’s wobbly—water inside. Say, woman, don’t you show any interest in your lover's gift? Good one, too.” He took out his penknife and snipped the cords of the great clumsy bundle. Kneeling on the floor, he looked up to her: "Guess what It Is. Ah—you’re too slow! It’ll be no more if I don’t give it the air!” 1 Snickering, his face red, he pulled off the loose paper from a tall glass aquarium. Within, motionless as though carved in black stone, were

Posed by Robert St. Clair and Edythe Elliott of tho Berke'l Players Barry Swears Eternal Devotion to Chickie

two funny little water dogs and a long branch of green seaweed. Chickie burst out laughing:' "Os all the cuckoos! What In heaven's name makes you bring these slimy foundlings to my door?” “Ain't they cute? I thought the capricious one would like them.” She knelt down beside him, watching the still creatures, fascinated by their immobility. "They must be dead.” “No; they’ve jest et and they’re sleeping.” "Standing up like that on their tails?” He stirred the water with a pencil; they wiggled. “Ila had a Jar of them In the sun room. Seems they’re all the rage. That gave me the hunch.” "Oh!” She wished to toss off carelessly, “Oh, you’ve been visiting Ila?” But her throat tightened. She repeated faintly; "Oh— ’’ He winked. "Yes—oh! And oh, again! Too proud to ask when and how?" "Tish! The door is always open. Go, when you will!” "Ah—the fair one is Jealous! She Won't ask, ‘How come?’ ” He reached down for her hand, pulled her to her feet. "But it’s goody for us. We may get a real Job out of It. I may marry the girl, yet! I mean you, frail! Will ye have me, and I can put a crust of bread In your mouth?” • • • ill, yes, I'll put RUgar and (J jam on your bread,” said ' I Barry, "provided you’ll have me. But not a single word will you hear till you ask—till you say ‘Please!’ No, that’s not enough! Say ‘My darling Red, ylease tell me.’ Say it!” So she did. "Well, Ila’s old man owns the Gulf Steamship Company. They’ve a big mail office In San Francisco—legal work to do. They want a fellow here —not much responsibility yet. But I may land It. Tufts and Lennon are pulling the strings.” "But how did they come to think of you? Did Ila mention it to her father?” He jabbed his elbow against her arm. "Not prickly at all, are we? It happened thusly: Going on four years ago, when I was young and Innocent and just out of college. Moore had a case €hat Tufts and Lennon handled. They let me look up a few records. I met Moore. One day he gave me a lift to the station. Ila happened to be In the car at the time. We got acquainted and the lady was charmed with me. And after this anand that, me to their country place In Westchester. Now you have the dark chapter in my life.” "And you had a regular kid, case, did you?” "Nope! Here sits my first and only genuine all-wool love!” "Really, Barry? You mean that? But you haven’t said a word about the job.” "Oh! We're ready to hear that now, are we? Other little matter all cleared up? Well—Moore came to Tufts and asked If he could recommend some clever young fellow, like me, Just to look after their Interests here. Doesn’t amount to a great deal now, but growing. I* I get it It will mean $l5O, maybe SIOO a month, besides what I pick up on my own. Could we get by on that?”

Barry Dunne promises his undying devotion to her.

She turned her face against him; in excess of gladness tears flew r to her eyes, laughter to her lips: “Oh much less than that! I may take this for a / bona fide proposal, sir? So sudden like!" “It’s a bona fide dream all right. If It goes through there’s nothing to it.” He hestisated. “Os course, there's nothing very definite yet. I have to go up there tomorrow night. To Moore's. They asked me for dinner and there’ll be a conference afterwards. Tufts, too. Is that all right?” She pinched the tips of her Angers to points. She didn’t answer. “So sweet one, it wasn’t all right for you and Jake? Is that what you're thinking^’’ She laughed: "Maybe!” "First time I ever knew the sun to be afraid of the yolk of an egg as a rival!” "Ah—she’s a great deal shinier than the yolk of a thousdnd eggs!” "And you don’t want me to look at her? Or be blinded by her? I'm blind now. I don't see her at all.” "All right, then, you go—but don’t look at her too hard!” • * • mT was a little pointed claw digging at her happiness. She remembered piercingly the vision of Ila Moore, lovely and serene like those pictures of Saint Celia; remembered her standing at the bureau, Ups parted, a radiant flush spreading over her cheeks when Barry came into the room, whqp he stopped abruptly greeting her. She remembered, too, that Tla was still awake when she came back from the pool, Barry's kisses warm on her lips; her heart gone out of her and all to him. Ila had wished to talk of him; she knew that; she had evaded. Now r she kept going over this—recalling each word. She thought, grudgingly: “He doesn’t need to go for dinner. I should think they’d have conferences in the afternoon.” With each new twist her uneasiness mounted. Suddenly she was ashamed and laughed. How—if she couldn’t hold him against Ila Moore—against all the world—well! Well—better know It then! Leave the door open—let him go. Sitting before her small, white bureau and looking at herself, golden hair falling, and small pointed chin trembled. Let him go—oh— But as she fell'asleep there came to her gently like a bright ray of Bun the memory of him ns he said in low eager vibrance: "You tw'o look alike? Let me see. Open your pretty eyes—ah!" And his hands at her shoulders had crossed down about her waist, drawn her to him. They looked with startled joy into each other’s eyes. That night he told her how he loved her. And he said it again tonight. §ald moresaid with such boyish gaiety: "Can wo get by on that! I and the fair one!” So this was enough! Yet she was intensely curious about that dinner. She stayed at home reading idly through books of poetry he had given her. They were at dinner now'. Was Ila sitting next him? What did she wear —some soft green thing that would rnafte her an angel? And would they have time to talk afterward? She would lead him into the sun room—show him her pets—ugly little w'ater dogs. They gave Chickie the creeps. Wildie came with tufted feet and spread himself on the floor, stretching his long head in her lap. blinking and gazing at her. She held his long nose in both her hands: "Good old Wildie! Love me! Love" your pretty lady? Well do! Who knows —I may need It.” > But at lunch he told her all about it. Not much of a conference. Might be weeks before It was all settled.
