CHICKIE

Chickie (Helena*, only daughter of Jonathan and Jennie Bryce, loves Barry Dunne, a young lawyer with "Tufts & Lennon. Wealthy Jake Munson, friend of Janina Knowles and Amy Heaton, sends Chickle 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 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 a* a present possibility, even though he believes he cannot afford it. He is hopeful when 11a Moores 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. Ila invites Barry to tour the world with her party and Chickie accuses him of loving Ila. GO OV WITH THK STORY By Kllnor* Meherln CHAPTER LXXVII The Break HICKIE’S hands winding unICI der his; Chickie's eyes wet I against his face. He felt them. Never get away from that—clinging to him. They followed him into his room, repeating with a shrill wildness the Jicene of the night. He walked back and forth trembling, pushing his hair from his forehead, saying to himself, “Oh, Lo’dl” He saw her putting her hands pitifully o" er her face, crying. His pace quickened. " In tli'i flaming disturbance he was aware of one restive, unalterable desi pscapo. Get away from this-—no use trying. He had tried. And the thing he had dreaded happened—flying ;> i each other's throats. Coi dn t go on now—hopeless—utterly. One scene after another He v ,At at his desk, pressing his flat against his mouth. Her fingers crei" lo his neck, drew his head down. They were a deadly weight. He wished to unfasten them. The pretty eyes held him; the little pointed chin trembled. , And he was forced to look at them. .They jlwelt in his imagination, liv\ng, tender, accusing. They Were a* torture. 'T’hey brought before him the vision of himself. He saw this now, relentless and scathing, as another might; saw the hot, impetuous youth taking with such imperious demand her sweetness, her beauty. He was repelled by this image, for now the senses that had cried out so blatantly were quiet and the Hush of expectancy in his veins dead. He knew this; had known It for some time. A long while since Chickie had drawn him from the shadow to his window; since he had thought of her a thing of lilies and stars sitting so brightly above , him. He was years—many years removed from the buoyant, laughing fellow who had driven her down the highway that first Sunday, falling

asleep against her arm, reading poetry to her; boasting of his "Lost Days;” stealing the kiss she didn't mean to give. And from that other whose heart bounded so madly seeing her beauty —claiming it for his own. He could look at Chickie quietly now for he was grown used to the chiseled delicacy of her features*; accustomed to her flippant caprice. They no longer startled his pulse with joy. His mind disputed her way of his senses; appraised coldly her attraction. Pretty thing, full of love, the lure of her had gone thundering to his heart. But It sent no deep echoes to his spirit. He was aware of this long before he admitted It. He had denied it. tried to forge a bond here between them, bringing her books stirring her thought. And she had laid her soft cheek on his, murmuring "Tell me you love me. Tell me that, Barry ” So he had kept on in a kind of blind persistence. He wouldn't be the one to end it. Go on, even into misery rather than face tht issue; rather than meet the frantic hurt reproach in her eyes 1 * * * mT had come, despite him; despite her. Now, even in it* cruel bitterness was the touch of relief. Better so. Not suited to each other. They could never haVe made a go of it; they would only perpetuate their mistake. As he thought this, the image of Chickie, biting her lips—telling him with such desperate anguish: "You go—go! You'll not throw things up to me!” That Image stalked into his mind and shook him. But after a long while he- said: "Better for her, too.” They couldn’t go-back now—could neve’ make it up. He couldn’t. Os his love there was left hut a disturbing pity. And even in this was a tinge of boyish resentment. If Chickie hadn’t lookeef at it so—ls she hadn’t watched him, waiting foj- hurts?—YeJ! he knew that no matter what Chickie's attitude had been, sooner or later his tumult would have stilled. He meant to write her a letter. Bet them not see each other again. He was going away- Not on that trip. She shouldn't think that—but going away—had to get away— He drew out the paper but when he started to write, his vivid imagination brought her so piercingly before him; all his tenderness aroused. Hurt her so—make her chin double like that — • Hours later he came back to the task. He had to. Get out of this town—and soon—- “ You say that I don’t love you any more, Chickie. And you blame me for this. But am I the only one that has changed? And did I seek this? You know that I haven’t. I would have been glad to go on always as we did In the beginning. I never thought it could be otherwise. “It is, though. You see this as well as I. You’ve felt It, you say. And there is nothing for us to do, that I can see, except to meet it. "But I don't sse why this fact, Chickie, should rob us of the past,’ or why we should censure and hurt each other In our regret. I loved you and you cared for me. Because this emotion was not rugged enough to last Is no reason why we should shame It and ourselves now. "And if you can make yourself look at it quietly, Isn’t It much bet ter to have a break now than later? Going on as we have these last, weeks we would only end In hating and reviling each other The parting would be shameful where It need

.3 PI..T MEASURE s PIWT Pan

This ia a day when everybody is trying to discuss synthetic products. Germany Is making a synthetic alcohol. Every chemistry class makes a very small quantity of synthetic sugar, and last week a farmer gave what I thought was a synthetic pint measure. He measured one pint of cider, using a three-pint measure and a five-pint pan. How did he measure exactly one pint? Last puzzle answer: Great Britain had 600 first line planes Dec. 1, 1924: Russia, H of 600 equals 300 planes; United States. Yt more than 600 equals 7&0 planes; France, 2-3 more than 760 equals 1,250 planes; Italy, 2 times 800 equals 600 planes; 600 plus 300 plus 750 plus 1,260 plus 600 equals 8,600 airplanes.

only be sad. Do you want this? I don’t. Why should we sacrifice all the happiness we knsw together, merely to this bitterness of its end? We shouldn’t!” Then he went hack to that past, asserting their right to It, asserting Its beauty. And he recalled a dozen incidents and said he’d give his heart now if they could have remained joyous like that, always. * • • G"— - J reading the letter, drinking back tears, was swept into the glow of the yesterday; swept past the cruel shock of his going into the warmth of his regrets. The first part of the letter she forgot and the last telling of his plans to leave she ignored. But these paragraphs, vital as his hand clasping hem, she took to her heart —she read them again and again until the words became a song of hope. He wished it could have remained. And couldn't it? Oh, couldn't they start again? She phoned. "You’ll come and see me—just for a moment. Barry?" "Only make It harder, Chickie.” “Not for me ” “All right. It may he late, f won’t have long ” She went into her room and dressed—a warm, melting sadness running up about her throat and near to her eyes. But it was the sadness of music that holds in its deepest pain the undertone of joy. Only when he came—late that evening after Jonathan and Jennie were In bed—only then and she saw the whiteness of his face, the drawn, thin look about his month, did she comprehend this undertone. They stood looking at each other. They talked quietly “Barry, I didn't mean what I said . . . you remember. I was excited. I was frantic." “Don’t think of it, Chickie I knew you didn’t.” Then, oddly enough, he told her a joke he had heard, told her funny old scraps of notes that, he came across when he sorted all his papers. She lowered her head. Finally she said: "You’re going to be gone long. Barry? A long, long time?" "Most likely. I'm not sure. There's nothing to lose now by going. I may visit my mother. She's been ill, you know." She glanced up and saw a momentary restless light In his eyes. She said with a vague amazment: "You seem glad to go. Barry—” then her heart shook. "You are glad to go—” She spoke softly with a little broken question In her breath. Her hand of Its own wild longing trembling: “Chickie —well isn’t it better so? What else —whot else can we do? You see It. We can’t go back. Chickie, listen wasn't*the love we had beautiful—” She closed her eyes, standing quiet in the darkness that fell upon her mind. "It’s over. Barry?

Oh, you speak of a thing that is dead—” Now hes voice dropped lower, now her heart bowed with its deadly weight. She swayed a little. He steadied her with his arm. He murmured gently. "Chickie —oh can I help it? I wouldn’t have it so. You blame me—you blame me for it all—” She said with a little, breathless sob: "No —not blaming you. Oh— I gave you all I had—oh. all and now I don’t know what to do without you. And I can't ever take It back—” , He answered. His face an ashen pale: "I gave niy best to you. 1 gave you the first love I ever knew. I gave it gladly. Even now I wouldn’t want to take It back—” "Even now—a faint cry. "Then it is so! All so! You will go? Oh, you are going away to leave me. You're glad to go? No—oh, this can’t be so”— She pressed her open hands against him, found his arms about her. She lay quiet against him. After a while she whispered; "Barry kiss me" His lips were cold. They touched her closed eyes, pressed her mouth. She felt as though she were lying in a coffin and now pn her face they dropped the chill reverence of death. (To Be Continued) (Copyright ‘King Feature Syndicate*
