P "O’ TpT7 T XT' Barry and Chickie quarrel over

Chickie (Helena), only daughter of Jonathan and Jennie Bryce, loves Barry Dunne, a young- lawyer with Tufts & Lennon. Wealthy Jake Munson, friend of Janiua Knowles and Amy Heaton, sends Chickie a costly pin with a love note, and arranges so ner father does not lose on his oil investment. Jake tells Chickie he considers Barry’s feeling only a bov’s love, and that he will be waiting when Barry has lilted her. Chickie fears the fate that befell Stella Wilson because of her lengthy engagement, and at Bess Abbott s wedding subtly tries to urge Barry to thing of their marriage as a present possibility, even though he believes he cannot afford it. He is hopeful when Ila Moore’s father expects to engage him to represent locally the Gulf Steamship Company of San Francisco, and wires for him. In Barry’s absence. Mary’s brother, Jimmie Blake, renews his attentions and Chickie shudders at his faith in her. Barry returns with the deal unsettled. Chickie o uarrels with him and he accepts an invitation to Ha s home. Ila lores Barry and Chickie feels him slipping from her. GO ON WITH THE STOUT By Elinore Meherin Suddenly she raised her head, and, moating his vivid eyes, moved toward him, seized his hands, pressing them against her face. He drew a deep, pained breat'i. "Chickie, what’s the matter with you? Oh, you don’t feel that miserable about it—over that? A little thing like that!” N A soft, broken .sound: "You call it little. Oh, it’s not just that. It’s everything." “What do you mean by everything?" “You like to go there. You think I shouldn’t oppose you. You want to meet these people—l’m not enough for you. Oh. I see—” * • * B"| ARRY put his arm about her. “We can’t do this, Chickie — ■- we can’t go wild over everything that comes up. I’m sorry I went—l didn’t really want to. I enjoyed that dinner, yes—and I’ve liked these meetings—that’s what you mean. But you aren’t going to make me out a criminal because I went to see an old friend for an hour, are you? I’d seem a churl to refuse a request like that.” "Yoy didn’t tell me. You didn’t intend to. Is that fair?” “No, I suppose not. But I guessed you wouldn’t like it, and Lord! if we’re going to nag each other over every little thing—well—” The cords of her throat tightened like a claw —like a hot, living anguish. She kept looking at her hands, rubbing them. “She knows about us, Barry. Should she ask you to go there? She knows as well —as well about us!” “Listen, Chickie, Ila Moore doesn’t look at things the way other people do. She doesn’t think a snap about asking me to go there, like she did yesterday. She would have asked me Just the same if I were fifty or If I were married. She doesn’t think of love. She has a hundred interests—” He covered her twitching hands; consoled her, saying again and again, “Don’t make a tragedy of It. I like to go there—yes. I like to talk to her. But I like talking to Basil Arthur or Tufts. Is that anything? Oh, it isn’t. It has nothing to do with love. I love you—Chickie —you know that —no one else— ’’ She let her head rest against his shoulder, her eyes wet. “Really, Barry? Do you mean it? Only say it, if it’s true— ’* She grew calm, letting her thought sink in her emotions. But the fear of losing him crept into her heart and lodged there, ilert, whispering with terror. So that now, if she stood at her window and he didn’t hurry from the shadow with a happy grin, she thought: “He's tired of me—tired of this —” And if he came, leaned his hands on the ledge, made a swift movement with his lips, tears shot to her eyes. He did that Just to please her—not because he wanted to—oh, she could tell— > * • * | £| |HE was far removed from the I | blithe ’ flippant Chickie who ’—-I felt herself indeed a "blessed damrsel” clothed with mysterious charm; who took his first gift—the little set of books—with a majestic "The whole earth you bring, Mr. Red? Tlsh! ’Tts no more than I expect!” It made her tense and hypersensitive, so that little incidents unnerved her. Jonathan raising her chin in his palm, saying, “Chickie, girl, little springs inside all quiet today?” Janina triyng to comfort her without knowing why she was'so disconsolate. Or Barry sitting in the machine, musing, recalling arguments and quotations. Oh. that let her know Ila was in his mind; oh. that made her wind her hands under his, call him back Even Wildie could do a thing that made her heart brim. Like one Sunday morning when they were walking. The dog kept bounding ahead of them and running back, tapping his paws inquisitively as though to say. “What’s happened? Can’t you people hurry?” Finally he dashed to Chlckle’s side, walking along somberly, licking her hand, rubbing his nose against her. When she paid

Posed by Edythe Elliott and Robert St. Clair of tie Berkell Playrea Chickie and Barry sauntered down the street, looking in the shop windows.

no attention he jumped up, seeming all concerned, and licked her face. She stooped down quickly, j?£tting him. She was touched piercingly. She said with a little hysterical laugh: “Oh, you love your pretty lady, dog—don’t you?” Even in the sweetest moments when both ofr- them were gay, her feelings quivered at the surface, waiting for hurts. As one night when they had dinner downtown and were sauntering along Illinois St. afterwards, looking in the shop windows. Often Chickie made him do this, rather delighting at his reluctance; at his scorn for her absorbing interest in clothes. She was aware that he was secretly appalled at her pre-occupation with the things of fashion. They looked at a wonderful black crepe wrap widely bordered with summer ermine. Chickie sighed. All these alluring furs and lustrous fabrics filled her with sensuous joy. Sho said dreamily: “Some day, my darling Red, you’ll swathe me in mole and squirrel from my head to my feet and seven diamonds to wear In my hair, place of the seven stars, you know.” "Would that make you so happy, Chickie?” “Would It!” "Rather than a trip to Honolulu?” “Both—l want both—” He laughed: “But the coat first, I take It! Lordee, Chickie, you spend an awful lot on what you wear. In a year you could stock a library—you just about spend your whole salary on clothes —” “Doesn’t he wish me to be beautiful? Doesn't he like me in gorgeous raiment—” "Well —he do. But if you stop to/ count it Op. you’re just giving up your life and all your earnings to these things. It’s your grea't interest. That's awful. Take clothes away from the average girl and you take her life, don't you?” Another time she would have answered airily: “Oh, us wimmin! We’re the empty lot!” But now she thought with a chill: “My only Interest! He comparing her ” She grew silent, turning her head from him. He reached down for her hand. “Not sore, frail? Not mad for a little thing like that?” “No—why, no—of course not!” But her eyes had a hurt, gentle look in them. And he had come to expect this—watch for It. It was a torment to him. Inwardly it made him impatient—restless—burdened. He didn’t want Chickie to look at him so. Say something gracious; something sweet; make her laugh. He began to talk. “Remember that engineer I met? Fellow who’s been In Alaska all these years? He dropped Into the office todays Look —gave me a nugget. There It is! Yours, frail!” He put the little drop of gold on her glove. She was delighted. “Wasn’t that generous? Why did he come in—he must like you?” He paused. Then hurriedly: "Well —he's giving a dinner Saturday night—kind of farewell. He’s going back next week. He asked me td it.” “Oh!" and quietly: “Is It a stag affair?" “No—no, I don’t think so—same crowd as the other one--” Faintly: "You’re going?” ' “I haven’t thought about it,” She bit her lips, her feet stumbling. He said, tensely: “You think I shouldn’t don’t you?” She wouldn’t answer. “You do?" “I don’t know,” and brokenly; "Whatever you want—” -He let It pass. When he was leaving her that night, lie said: “Well, I’m not going to that dinner, Chickie. I’d like to—of course—but I don’t care If you feel so—-honestly. Now laugh—good Lord!” And she did. She ran her hands up to his neck. She pulled his head down, pressed her cheek on his. At noon Saturday he said to her suddenly: “I have to work tonight, Chickie.” It came so abruptly she stared. She sftld, incredulously: “Oh—you do—” He watched her narrowly, his answer rough: “Yes! I do!” “Why—all right—” But she felt as though a hot Iron seared over her body, scorching to her veins. And the heat of It grew. She couldn’t put It down. That night, sitting In the quiet, watching Jennie at her sewing, Jonathan at his paper, she felt the burn of It spreading to her mind— her heart—lighting wild fires. Had to work —night of the dinner— She got up, her eyes darting; “I think I’ll drop down and see Mary

—we may go to a movie—well—” She ran Into her room—dressed. She pulled on her hat. She said to herself: “No—l wouldn’t think of it—No!” But she kept seeing his office. And it was dark —no light—no one working—oh, he wasn’t there— But perhaps he was—or maybe he was— She got on the car and rode downtown/ She went to her own building, intending to look from the window. But she had forgotten her key—she couldn’t get in. And she went into his building and along the corridors —stealing along, half running. A light streamed under the door. Her heart swelled. But maybe it was someone else—maybe Tufts. She loitered. She passed the door . . . listened. Suddenly it flung open. He, standing there —he staring at her. Then his face ashen—then a white fury leaping in his eyes. CHAPTER LXXIII. Trapped S HE shrank back against the wall, unable to keep her eyes i__ from the blaze of his. In the stark cruelty of the moment she saw within the office another man—Tufts. And Tufts glanced at. them in amazement, his expression narrowing as though it said; “Ah—l see!” Barry crossed the threshold, pulling the door sharply. The whiteness of his face deepened to a leaden paint: his lips shook. And for an instant he stood so, his eyes denouncing and burning her. She turned her head sWiftly, putting up her hand. She wanted to run—beat down this shame, rising in such multitudinous waves—covering her. Then he coming—seizing her arm, hurrying her down the corridor, rasping in a low, furious scorn: "■What do you mean! What do you mean by this —coming here ” She felt herself rushed along in a withering tumult, her mind going blind. She struggled. She wrenched from him, throwing back her head, saying In a strained, frightened tone: "Stop! I only came—l came— I wanted—” He dropped her arm then, saying In a thick, hot voice: "Lord, stoop to this! Come down to spy on me ” He wiped his forehead, scorn blazing anew over his face: "What do you mean, doing this!” She leaned against the wall—abject and mute —beating about frantically for some defense. “No— I came —I wanted to see you ” "Oh —come on—get out of here —want Tufts t*> come along—” The elevator whizzing up the shaft stopped abruptly.

operating it, poked out a roily head, his eyes,bright, crinkling. He said: “Going down, Mr. Dunne?” Barry nodded, helped her into the car. And she smiled vaguely—all these details flashing with grotesque unreality on her thought. As she stepped from the elevator and he held her arm, a warm, overpowering weakness charged over her, bowed her down. She wanted to lower her head—cover it with her arms—run wildly. She said: "Let me go! Don’t hold me! Oh, you will, I say, let me go—” But he led her to the machine, opened the door. She shook her head: “No—l won’t—” ‘Til take you home—get in.” He looked about -uneasily, pushed her. She sank in the corner—taking up as little room as possible, turning her head from him. • a • Hf~ " "1 E drove. She wondered In a remote, shivering way where they were going—what he would say. She looked over the side of the car and In a frantic, wild splf pity fancied herself under the wheels. Easy—that would be easy— Finally he said: “Why did you do this?” “I don’t know—you see—” “You didn’t believe me! You thought I went to that dinner. Lord. I can’t believe you’d stoop to this —” ‘’No—l didn't! I wanted to see you. I thought you’d be finished. We could take a ride—” Now that her voice was found, that it came tremulous and eager, she looked to Jilm—“Oh, you see, I never thought you’d take it so—you frightened me—” Her defense cowered, turned faint before the coldness; the scathing In his searing eyes. "Lord! Add lies to it!” It struck her sharp like a sword; like lightning splitting her mind. She snapped the door of the car. went to dash out. He pulled her back. She flSfehed in ,a frenzy: “Let go! You let me go! I will—” His arm bound her. She tried to beat it off: “I will! You let me go. I don’t care—” He said stonily: “Don't get excited. You can go home If you want. We can start now.
