Chickie ( Helena >. only daughter of Jonathan and Jennie Bryce, loves Barry Dunne, a younsr lawyer with Tufts & Lennon. Wealthy Jake Mjion. friend of Janina Knowles anu Amy Heaton, sends Chickie a costly pin with a love note and arranges so her father does not lose on his oil investment. Jake tells Chickie he considers . Barry s feeling only a boy's love, and that he will be waiting when Barry has jilted her. Chlekie fears the fate that befell Stella Wilson because of her lengthy engagement, and at Bess Abbott's wedding subtly fries to urge Barry to think of their marriage, as a present possibility, even though he believes he cannot afford it. He is hopeful when Ha Moore's father expects to engage him to represent locally Gulf Steamship Company of Francisco, and wires for him. In Barry's absence, Mary's brother. Jimmie Blake, renews his attentions and Chiekje shudders at his faith in her. Barry returns with the deal unsettled. One day he tells Chickie he must work that night. She thinks be is with Ila. and when he finds her spying on him they quarrel, ( Days pass and no word from him. She writes an apology and waits at their favorite restaurant to see if he will come. <;<) ON WITH THE STORY Bv K'.lnorr Mtlicr'n. CHAPTER LXXV. Truce. -■VqHTCKIE waited.

And the waitress who had served them both a hundred times said: “Will you wait longer?" Chickip pretended a frown of impatieri -e. aying lightly: "Well——us working girls, you know, haven't a .

He would never come again. This conviction strengthened and with it a terror—a wildness. No—he dared not —after all these months —all they had meant —end it now? And if seemed to her that she would rush after him, wind her arms about him—demanding—challenging— Her emotions exhausted her —left her finally stilled, without impulse to think or to act. Let him go—let him do as he wished — .lust before 5 the phone rang. It was he. He said: “The car’s parked in the alley. Will you go down there? Wait for me? I’ll be right along.” * A tense, unnatural quiet in his tone. It laid a fear on her thought -—made her unwilling to confront him. Reaching the alley, her steps dragged. He might censure her; might allude to that night and say again: "Stooped to that. Chickie! I didn't think you could. Tufts saw—” She would run away from that —wouldn't listen And sh crept along so slowly that lie was already in the car. the

She closed her eyes. She asked: "Barry, did you come only because I wrote the letter?" He evaded. "I don't want you to think I hold it against you. Or that I’m remembering it —” "Oh—hut I know you are." "No—only it shows—” She Watched him in an anguish, noted that his mouth, full-cut and boyish, was now pale, even drawn. She whispered with pain: “What does it show', Barry?" “What I should have seen in the beginning if I wasn’t blind; if I wasn’t so completely—oh, well— I w hat’s the use now?” “Oh—*-say it—you have to ” "Well, the whole thing has got beyond us.

She clasped and unclasped her hands. He went on bitterly, his eyes glued to the. road: "If you hadn’t looked at it so, you wouldn't have doubted me. None of these things would have come between us. You could have been happy, but you never were. And lately It's just been one scene after another " "No—oh, most of the time—you know, now ” "What did you say the other night, Chickie?

The above picture ia a diagram of a radio store. The length is four times the width. If it were two feet larger each way it would require fifty-six square yards of carpeting to cover the floor, What is its length. Last puzzle answer: Total sum is $14,160.00. $12,000 times .06 equals $720,00 interest for one year times 3 equals $2,160 interest for three years.

She hears that Barry is leaving on a world tour.

She pressed his hand between the two of hers, shutting; her eyes: "But now? Barry, now?” "I don't know. I don't want other things like that ” “Oh. no. no—" She turned her cheek against his arm and for the first time raised her eyes to his. They shone. They were living things, pleading. She said trembling: “No —Barry, can you forget all that was sweet between us because of that? Oh—can you put from you all the happier things? And you want to leave me? Alone? Oh, I have no one—and nothing hut you, now—You know that. Do you mean that you don't love me? But if you did a thousand *shameful things to me I could forgive them all. I would want you still—” Chickie smiled, but there were tears in her eyes. It made their beauty piercing. They hurt him; they flashed memories at him. He kissed them —kissed her lips, murmuring with impetuous swiftness: "Oh—forget it, Chickie! Don't be mournful about it. We don’t care!" "Oh, really—and you love me—love me still— r ’

“Os course—” "And you don’t want to leave me?” * "No—not now—No —l don’t —” * • • S*" HE was mute because of the joy that ran sudden and sharp, like a dazzling wave, over a dark pool of sadness. She laced her fingers in his. After a long while she said, simply: "Barry —never leave me—will you? I can never let you go.” His face blanched. “No—don’t speak of it, Chickie—don't imagine things—You do that ” She laughed: "Oh —but I won’t — I won’t ’’ She meant this. She was filled with peace. They would go hack to the glad beginning—lnto the sun again—carefree. He should not look at her with dubious, unhappy eyes, but only to see how dear she was.. And she would never question him again. She would be blithe, flippant, pretty as a flowet. For this was the Chickie he loved. So she laughed merrily at him from her window: she met him gaily. Even when he phoned twice that week, saying he couldn’t see her; he had to work, she responded bree: . "Tish —work if ye will! As for me I loaf. Mr. Red!" Sometimes a stealthy fear kept creeping about her thoughts, whispering: “He’s not so eager. He's growing moody. You don't hold him as you did. Notice that he doesn't tell you how beautiful you are!" She shut this down with a contemptuous: “I know it by now. don't I? He's said it enough. Why bore me with repetitions?" She had to say things like this to herself often. No —she was not going to keep tab on his words — not going to watch and nag him—mak'i him feel like an outcast—no But there were times when she was hard pressed to smile. When she had to take their moments of tenderness when he would reach for her hand, pulling her to him with a warm impulsive.
