CHICKIE

Chiekie (Helena), only daughter o,' Jonathan and Jennie Bryce, loves Barry Dunne, a young: lawyer with Tults & Lennon, nut she is interesteel in wealthy Jake Munson. He sends her a costly pin with a love note. Upon her request, Jake arranges so her father does not lose on his oil investment. Jake tells Chiekie he considers Barry's feeling' only a hoy’s love and that he will be waiting when Barry has Jilted her. Chiekie fears the fate that befell 3tella Wilson because of her - lengthy engagement, and subtly tries to urge Bavry to think of their marriage as a present possibility, even though he believes he cannot afford it. He is hopeful when Ila More's father expects to engage him to represent locally the Gulf Steamship Company of San Francisco and wires for him. Chiekie knows Ila loves Barry and the thought of her seeing him again chills Chiekie with fear. When Chiekie returns from tVawasee. Mary's brother. Jimmie Blake, renews his attentions. She shudders at Ids faith in her. She and .Janina Knowles discuss sophisticated Amy Heaton. Barry returns with the deal unsettled. . GO ON WITH THE STORY Ry Klinore Meherin mn this way, without either of them being aware, they drew themselves in a thousand eager ties. Their separation but quickened and intensified the bond Between them. She was surprised because bf the peace that came upon her. She spoke of it that night .when they drove out through the park. She leaned against his shoulder, her eyes wet. “Barry, now I don’t fee! troubled. Tsn’t that strange?" He pressed her hands. She went on in a dreamy languor: “Why do you think it is? Just because you’re here again?” “Maybe. Or it might he because here we seem removed from the world. We’re alone. We only need to think of ourselves. If it were like this .always, you would never be troubled.” “T wish we could shut the world out then! Just the two of us.” “We can.” She laughed: “What a big wall of love we’d have to build ” “Not so big, Chiekie—hut hrave. And that’s what we have to do. Because otherwise it will be a wall of reproaches and resentments against each other. No love can cut through that. If you let yourself be pressed down; If you keep thinking that we’ve hurt each other—well—you can see what will happen. Lord, we don’t want that!" • She clung to Barry. “No—Oh, I could never bear that—you won’t let that happen? You keep me from that, will you, Barry?" 0E kissed her. She put up her hand and felt his eyes wet. A trembling joy stirred in her heart. She was the eternal woman justified in her giving, because the man was faithful. His love was a sacrament that cleared her mind of the long heritage of reluctance. It championed the freedom she had snatched and that her thought had never sanctioned. It freed her from herself, but only that she might he more wholly hts. It, seemed to Chiekie In those first weeks after his return that the world was Indeed shut out. They two were alone, running Irresistibly to each other on the crest of lighted waves. She sat at her window and smiled. He came from the shadow and pursed his lips. They hurried into the alley at 5 o’clock, walking i to the car together. At night they drove. Some times they went dancing. When he held her she felt his heart thump and her own quivered as though to some piercing musio, unbearable in Its sweetness. They lost themselves in this growing, intoxicating sense of possession one in the other. And she had no longer the tormenting sense of fear. Once when Janina taunted: “Well, baby—how much longer do f wait for the great and glorious procession?" she answered with light fllppance: “Second Tuesday of next week, Janina, dear!" At home, this easy assurance left her. She didn't wish to be alone with Jonathan. She hid from the tenderness of his eyes. Once he ran his palm under her chin, saying with a chuckle, “Pretty as an angel, Isn’t she, mother?” she ran out of the room, completely unnerved. Yet she turned to Jennie. She was all at once concerned because there were wrinkles on the bland forehead. She was curious about her mother. Sometimes she wished to say: "Jennie, darling—listen—if you loved—oh, the way you did—” i But even in her thought, she dared not put that question to Jennie. One night her mother was mending her stocking, as she often did. ! Chiekie said: “That’s finished—don’t bother with it. I wouldn’t wear a thing all runs like that—” But Jennie answered: "Well, you may get a turn out of it on a rainy (■'ay.” “No—throw it out!" • * * I rp] HE next evening she helped I with the dishes, hovering I J about the mild Jennie. She watched the hair falling in thin I strands from the amber comb. She saw little beads of perspiration on her mother's neck. I' made her sad. Then Jennie stooped and mopped Ome water from the floor. As she did this, Chiekie saw the silk stockings she had ordered thrown out. Jennie was wearing them. A pang shot through her. Jannie wearing her discarded finery! Jennie, too, must like the feel of silk next to her skin. She felt a

Puzzle a Day

sudden, overpowering tenderness for her mother. They were alike—loved the same things—had the same weakness. She never had thought of this before—never worried much about Jennie's longings. Moon the next day she bought a gift—two pairs of gray and two of black. Jennie stammered and didn't at all want trPlake them. When Chiekie Insisted she blushed like a girl. “Why, whatever made you think of this, Chiekie, dear? And for an old woman like me?” Yet she was so touched tears ran into her eyes. Chiekie said gaily: “Jennie, darling, why I never thought you’d like them so. Why didn't you say something about it? Why after this I shall buy sweet Jennie a lipstick, and she will go awaltzing with me!” ‘Jennie cried. Doing little things like th s was a kind of absolution Chiekie gave herself. It freed her as the Hasp of his arms or as his laughter. She loved him most when he was happiest; when he grew daring and said: "Chiekie, let the world go haiiWe should worry! Only thee and me! It was like that one Sunday when she had left the house in a state of nervous unrest, because Jonathan said: “Chiekie, I don’t like this - If s not fair to the lad or to yourself. You see too much of each other.” The slightest thing distressd her. She said: “Barry—if Jonathan should know"— But he shrugged, and whistled. Then he pulled her down and rattled in her ear the childhood song from Coleridge. “Chiekie. listen— Do you know what the bird* say? The ~ eparrew, the dove. The linnet and thrush say. ”1 love and I lovp. * In the winter they’re silent—the wind Is so strong-; What it says I don’t know, but H sings a loud song.

moods he dominated her. Oh. he had only to glance—only to speak, she would follow wherever he led. She wot:' I give and give. Her spirit was no loj. ,<_-r her own. They were plunged into these endearments —more than half helpless—he ba well as she A kind of wild love—young, unreckoning. All they did drew the bond between them tighter, more relentless. CHAPTER I,XIV Aprehemsion mHEY were going to the Abbott s. Bess was giving a house pnrty. They entered the road winding upward over the slope into the cool retreat of beach and oak. Autumn, redberries coming—peace, that seemed half sadness, settling quietly on the trees. Chiekie felt it wi*h an undue sensitive less. She moved a little nearer, touched his arm. “Barry, remember la 'it year when we came up here? Oh, how we felt! So merry! What a long time a year is!” He stooped swiftly and kissed her. "What a sweet time a year is! Melancholic, frail? Why?" She answered laughing: "Vou kissed me like that then—oh, it startled me!” "It was farther down, hefore w* hi* the road—out in the open." "Yes. Barry, are you as happy as you were?” "Only more so.” “All the time? Sometimes you're quiet. Then T keep wondering what you are thinking. And perhaps you’re sorry?” She watched his face achingly. She did this often now. If he were tired or silent she thought with a stab of fright: “Does he love me now? Does he care as much? Oh, maybe he wants it all ended?” With the cruel, pathetic dependence of the woman who loves, she fancied each change In hir expression due to some shortcoming In her. He was aware of this. It troubled him. Now, he said: "I’m not sorry, Chiekie. You imagine things. Don’t do that. It's only you that keeps harking hack. You’re doing it now. Why. Chiekie? How car you feel so? Can’t you see how

that hits me? As though I’d robbed you—taken what you didn’t want to give ” Often she saw herself as she had been—blithe, careless thing with a "Pooh, I should worry!” coming so flippantly to her lips. She looked to that other Chiekie often and with an Infinite, envious yearning. Especially now —coming here where, a year ago, she had been so gaily confused: so thrilled to her finger tips by the happy abandon of all these bright young people so like and so unlike herself. • • • was In this mood of piercing came up the driveway and Nance, the irrepressible twin, hounded down to meet them, flinging her arms about Chickie's neck, with an effusive: “Oh, you honey dear. I’ve been waiting to see you! And you're nice, Ked —same one. Miy. aren’t you constant! Every one else has a change!” Barry said’ "Well. Nance, how about It? Would you change an' you had the best what was?" Nance squeezed Chickie’s arm: "Now that's my idea of a sheik for you! Go along. Red, take the same room as before. Chiekie and I have much to converse of. She may tell me a few things I’ve need to learn!" She led Chiekie to the room with the French windows and the. deep balcony with its ladders of red and white roses —last bloom of the year. She said gaily: “Such a I’ve to tell you. And 1 want to ask things, too. “I've planned this conversation, honey love, o frqulte a while. Nobody can talk to Bess. Poor thing—she’s so tired and so delicate. And of course Marge doesn't register above the neck. Did you know that? It's my conclusion" As Chiekie dressed she rattled on in this strain, half eager—half pathetic. "Well, you know Marge is engaged again—the third time since you were here before. Now since you were here before. Now, that isn't right, do you think? I told her so. We had a big fight over it. Because, you see, were getting old enough to have sense now. Going on 18. ‘Marge said she was a free soul. Sh grabbed that from Janka — only Janka knows what she means and Marge doesn't! And Marge is writing free verse now about love and the grand passion and what she has discovered of men. Oh. it's awful rot. Marge says that’s, he cause I don’t understand what she talks about. But I do. Anyway. I'm pretty worried —now what would you do?" Chiekie was bending down putting oft her slipper. Nance sat on a low stool, her slender arms wrapped about her knees; the brown, curly bobbed head raised appealingly. The young girl radiance of her touched Chiekie as it might a much older woman. She said, laughing: ‘"To you mean about and her loves?” (To Be Continued) <Copyright Kinc Fature Svndieatei
