CHICKIE

Chickie (Helena), only daughter of Jonathan and Jennie Bryce, loves Barry Dunne, a younger laywer with Tufts A Lennon. Wealthy Jake Munton. friend of Janina Knowles and Amy Heaton, sends Chtckie 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. 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 think of their marriage as a present possibility, even though he believes he cannot afford it. Ha 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. Tn 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. One day he tells Chickie he must work that, night. She thinks he is with Ila. and when he finds her spying on him they quarrel. Days pass and no word from him. She writes an apology'. He meets her. but she secs he is not so eager as before ' GO ON WITH THK STORY By Klinoro Alt lierln. The night of the lecture they had dinner in town. It was nearly 8. Neither of them had spoken of the meeting at Bess Abbot’s house. Finally Chickie said: “Aren’t we going to the lecture?’’ He answered In a subdued, strained tone: “Do you want to?” She was stung. It let her know his uneasiness; his dread of another clash. But she anaswered blithely: “Os course! I may get learned myself one of these days and climb your T’artssua heights! Who knows?” Ye;, when she saw the quiet, even the palenes. . of his face brighten; when she su'v him grow vivid talking to Basil Arthur and then to Ila Moore, 'he old tightness drew at her threat. The voice of fear loudened. ’Notice you don’t excite him so. Notice he was quiet at dinner. Look at him now!” Km she went over to Tla’s side, slipped her hand in Ila’s arm with a careless, sweet laugh, listened, threw in capricious comments, rewarded when she saw his eyes light, meeting her own. Noontime the next day Janina said: ‘Congratulations, old dear! Some honeymoon the baby picks!” Her amazement was so great Janina stared. Then shrugged. "Os course, my dear, if you wanted to keep it dark —” “What do you mean,Janina? I haven’t the faintest idea.” “Oh, no—not at all. But it's nice to have friends who own a steamship line, isn't it? Take us around he world on our honeymoon." Her face paled. Janina saw that, and her hands trembled. Chickie said: “What, is it, Janina? I honestly don't know." “Os all things, old lady! Don't tell me the boy is going on a world tour with the fair Ila and her party and leaving you behind!” CHAPTER LXXVI. Accusation SHE stricken, ashy look in Chickie's face shook Janina’s poise. She said bluffly: “Guess I got the goods mixed, ole dear. Don't get the panic.” “What did you hear, Janina? Are you kidding me?” “Not if I know It. I understood It. was all settled. The Gulf Steamship Company is sending one of their boats on a world tour. That's

Moore’s company. I heard that Ila was goirig with several of her friends as guests.” “And Barry was to be one of them?” “So the story had it.” Chickie ’aid nothing. She clenched her hand.' on her chair. Painfully, after a clamorous silence: “There must be some mistake, Janina.” “Sure! Well, you poor infant! Go white and faint! Don't expect the boy to run away and leave without giving notice, do you?” A high, uncertain laugh: “Such a chance, ole dear! You took my breath away. If I'm to go on this world tour, you know, I want time to gather the festive glad rags. And If I'm to be the girl he left behind him, why, I’ll have to invest in a few dozen sheets to catch the briny tears!” Inwardly her thoughts trembled with the shock. Could this he? World tour —Barry going—opportunity like that He would want to seize It. Os course he would! And perhaps he was only waiting for some tender moment when her heart was his to ask if she would hold him ba L k; if she would keep this pleasure from him. Oh. he might say, pressing her hands, grinning: ’'All right with you. frail? I’ll come back—you don't care—surely—” He might do It carelessly like that. Her thoughts flew back over the last weeks: now it saw coldness in his eyes: now it heard weariness In his voice. Oh. his arms, even folding her. were'lax— But she wouldn’t judge: wouldn’t condemn. Wait—wait till he came that evening. Ask him. very flippantly. Never let him see that she feared. And if he wished to go with Ila Moore, he could. Oh. indeed! She would say and laugh as she said it: “The door is always open., Mr. Red!” In a lightning excitement, scenes flashed through her brain. She stood at her bureau that night drawing a little brush across her fine, arched brow’s. She said to her image: “I should worry! And only time! What is to be, will be.” A little hysterical laugh and quoting what she had heard on Ha Moore's lips— "The best of all possible words, you know—that’s us!" She put the brush carefully In Its tiny box. stared at It a long while. She bit the tears back from her eyes. She said to herself: “Oh— God" * * * fp. IUT she waited until they were | W I in the park and he slumped u-ZImJ back, comfortable, his arm carelessly about her. She twitched his sleeve, her voice high: “I hear as how my darling Red Is Invited on a W'orld tour.” A sharp intake of breath, startled: "Who told you. Chickie?” “Didn't he want her to know? But she's clever —she is.” “It doesn't matter. I didn’t think any one knew about me.” “Janina told me. It Is true, Barry? ,Ynu're invited?” “Yes" “Quite otherwise. Isn’t It? Quite salubrious, T'd say.” "Rather —yes” Her voice pitched higher—faint:

Is in city hospital suffering from effects of poison self-admlrls-tered Saturday in an attempt to end her life. Police " ere told she had quarreled with her stepfather. Mrs. West is separated from her hue band.

She and Barry quarrel over Barry’s proposed trip:

“And—you're .going, Barry? Are you?” Pause stretched out in anguish. Then crisply: “No.” “You’re going to turn down a chance like that, Barry, are you? For me? Because of me?” He looked at her steadfastly and smiled: “You didn’t expect me to take it, frail? Did you?” She had hold of his hands. She pressed them with a swift trembling cry against her face to kiss them — to shut out that stillness In his eyes. She kept murmuring, “You do love me, then? You do.” But she didn’t look at him—didn't want to see his face, white, anxious, tender. She was often seeing this subdued, gentle look. And she didn’t want It. She wanted the vital. Impulsive fire that had won her so from the beginning. She wanted his eyes to grin, his mouth to purse teasinKly. Oh —bonny, like that! She loved him so. When she saw this vividness striking like a light about him as when they went to the lectures: when she saw the ardent youth uppermost in bin face, she whispered, terrified to her thought: “He's living now. I don't fire him so. Not any more. I'm not enough ” It occurred to her that he perceived this too —that he read her fear. For often after these evenings he came eagerly, bringing hooks, shoving them at her, bringing a picture. some little trinket. He said boyishly: “Here, frail! Not so downcast, please. Why for?” Tears filled her eyes. She thought: “He brings me these in place of love. He wants to make it up to me ” • • • SET she clung to him the more desperately; gave him the brimming tenderness of her heart. Bind him to her in these thousand aching chords of joy. Never should he he free again. She taxed him: ”1 love you, Barry—so! Enough for both of us!” He laughed: “Don’t say that Chickie. One is never enough for two.” She wished to answer: "Oh. I know that now! I can see. I won’t keep you. The door is open, Barry —Go!” But her lips would never frame the words. Nor would she even ask: “You'll do your own share of the loving, will you?” She wouldn't risk that. She only repeated with a gayety that tore wounds in her heart: j*Yes! Mine is enough for ten.” When a woman loves enough for ten she loves far too much for one. It was pathetic and in a way terrible that she should realize this as she did. That she should see him fighting to keep his fueling—gentle to her—making a burden of it —not knowing. More terrible that she should want him. even so. That she should raise the pretty eyes to his. draw his head down, hold his spirit with her beauty, with the completeness of her devotion. One night at the close of the lecture—an occasion when Ila Moore was not present. Basil Arthur, hurrying to leave, said to Barry: "You'll decide to come, I hope. You should!" It chanced that his face paled; that he gave some inaudible response and shrugged. She noticed.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

They drove home. Neit ler of them spoke. He smoked silently, stretching his legs out, his profile toward her. She said in a hushed, frightened voice: “What are you thinking, Barry? I know! That I’m keeping you from all that—oh, you want to go—you want to go—” He didn't answer. She ran her hand up and down along his arm swiftly: “Is this so. Barry?—Oh. you should tell me ” “No—• Chickie, listen, that's decided. finished. Don't go back ” "But you are! You're gloomy about it.” “Might bo other things Chickie." She could scarcely draw her breath. “Barry, do you mean me? And us? You’re gloomy about that? Oh, I've felt it!” He answered bluntly: “Tufts has taken his son into the office. He's come back from Cambridge. That lets me out, I can see. That means I begin over again, practically. At twenty-five—not so good!" Thoughts charged her brain in bolts: “Lets you out? Then you’re free? You could go? Nothing to hold you back but me. Oh, is that It. Barry? Really, you would like to go, wouldn't you?” He shrugged. A quizzical, uneven laugh. ‘Well—look here, frail, it's a rather fetching proposition, isn't it? Four or five brilliant people along -all—over the world. . . . Listens sweet, doesn't it? And not such years ago. If my memory serves me right, you wanted to take a little yachting trip, didn't you?” “Only for a week. This Is to be months —maybe a year.” “But I'm not going, am I?" She said aghast: “But you want to. Oh—brilliant people along. You're thinking of it—l can see. I'm not enough—not any more.” He seized her hands, pressed them: “Chickie: For me love of heaven! Don’t! I’m not going. I’m not thinking of it now. I tell you I’m not!” “Oh. no!” She gave a little franti" cry. "No! That’s why you’re so quiet —so still! That’s why you sit here silent. Oh, hut you laugh with then.. I've noticed. You want them. You do!” She grew' wild. "I’ve seen. Barry. I know. You love Ilia Moore. You’re tired of me. You want to get away J have no brain.” “Oh. Chickie —stop—don’t let's de grade each other! Don't do that.” She laughed hysterically, biting her lips. “Degrade? Why. we've done that already. And now you compnie me to her. You shove books at me. All the time you're thinking of her—wishing I was bril llant. Rut I'm not. You can go—you go—go —you won't thro.v things tip to me! You won't!” He clenched her arms: "Don’t nay that! Don't you dare! I've never—not for a moment. Oh. Chickie—this is awful—this is sordid—Oh, Lord—” She put her hands over her face and began to cry—(To Be Continued) (Copyright King Feature Srii-Ucatfl
