CHICKIE
Chickie (Helena), only daughter of Jonathan and Jennie Bryce, loves Barry L>jnne, a young lawyer with Tufts & Lennox. Wealthy Jake Munson, friend of Janina Knowles and Amy Heaton, sends Chlckie a costly pin with a love note and arranges so her father does not lose on hiß oil investment. Jake tells Chlckle he considers Barry's feeling only a boy's love, and that he will be waiting when Barry has jilted her. Chlckle 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. 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, i'arry returns with the deal unsett ed. and Ila invites him to tour the v orid with her party. When Chickie accuses him of loving Ila, a quarrel fcilows and he leaves town. He does not answer her telepam written In deiperation when ene realizes she must endure the Consequences of their love. Her parents, lgorant of her plij-ht, favor Jake as a suitor for Ch ckie. She hears Barry sailed with Ila before receiving the telegram. To get the opinion of kind Mrs. Blake, Chlckie tells a false story of a girl in her own predicament. GO ON WITH THE STORY By Ellnore Meherin Chlckle pulled her hat over her eyes. She wished to say to Martha Blake: “Oh, yes! Brave to meet it. I’m Kathryn Armour! What shall I do? Tell me! You tell me! Ho — you’ll give me Mary’s room —yes — If t -Timmy know —” She kept fooling with the hair about her forehead—shading her frightened eyes. As she did she waa aware of some one at the door —grinning: someone who had been there a -long moment. Jimmy strolled over—gave her a push, making room for himself on chair. He drawled teasingly: “Mother on the soap box, Chickie? Ain't she grand, though—good old extempore! Been at It half a century, more or less. Hire a hall, old lady. We’ll all sit In in the front row—” Martha’s face was radiant. Her eyes dwelt on the two of them — bladk head and gold. She said: “You may walk to the door with Chickie!” Jlmy roared: “Now that’s what I call a word to the wise! May I hold her hand?” whispered: “Chickie —if you hear from Kathryn, tell me.” Chlckle nodded. She let her hand rest In Jimmy’s. He said when they reached the cottage: “Let me drop in a minute tor.ight, Chickie. I’ve a lot to say—”

CHAPTER LXXXIX. The Return HICKIE paused at the steps. She didn’t look at Jimmy, u—J “You mean you’re going to propose again?” “Again and again!” She shook her head. "That means he’s coming hack, .Chickie? It’s all settled between you and him?” “Well, Jimmy, darling, Is that a nice, delicate question to ask?” His face reddened; “’Scuse, Chlckle! You see I had a hunch something different was up. Haven’t seen him for about two months.” The mention of time startled her. She said hastily: “Not that long! Not quite, Jimmy! He’s out West.” Jimmy looked at her hands. He told her once years ago they were the prettiest hands in the world. He looked at her face. It grew pale under the tightened excitement of his eyes. Suddenly he said: “Oh—well, so long, Chlckie!” In her room she sat limp and trembling on the bed. She said blankly: "It won’t last much longer—” This made the heat and the faintness go swelling up to her neck. She began to walk swiftly, disjointed images breaking into her thought. Jake, sitting opposite at the lunch table. He was doing this the last few days—meeting her; pressing her with invitations. Now Jimmy, shoving her half off the chair, making room for himself She knelt down before the bureau, pulling out the drawers, stacking her clothes tightly, saying to herself: "I’ll leave —I’ll go away.” She would have done this but for the hope that loitered in her heart. Her mind had long since evicted it; it went down and found a dwelling In the embers of her love. The hope of his coming. If only he could know—if she could get one word to him She went to a steamship company. The clerk was young. He looked up all manners of tours for her, saying cheerfully: “Oh, yes—many of these tours only last a month or six weeks. Few are longer than three months.” Finally she inquired about the Gulf Steamship Company; gave the date Barry had sailed. Could he find

o\it when that boat was due to return? Well—he guessed could. Guessed he could do more than that. She might drop in the next day—keep dropping In At the end of the week he had the Information. The boat was scheduled to end Its run in the middle of August or thereabouts. Chickie took the card with the dates neatly written. She looked at It quietly, her eyes glazed. She smiled. “You’ve been awfully kind about this” Without a glance upward at the eager clerk she hurried to the street. A month longer—he would be back —he would rush to her. Coulc she wait? Dared she wait? She went stumbling down the street, growing giddy with excitement and relief. Not so long Pictures of Mary and Lucy came into her mind. She made calculations —comparisons. She seized mightily, with a kind of madness, on this ne\y refuge from her fears. Another month —oh, let the dsad quiet of his eyes reproach her; let the cold pallor In his voice shout that his love was gone. Let it! She would be saved—she would be freed • • • HE put the card under the scarf of her bureau. Each L—_J day that passed was a victory. One night Jonathan raised her chin upward: “You don’t eat enough to keep a bird alive—does she mother?” Jennie smiled. “Girls don’t today. It’s the fashion. They must be toothpicks!” Chickie risked boldly: "No toothpick here, Jennie darling! I’m quite avor du pois!” They laughed at her. This heightened her sense of security. Now when she hurried along Washington street and other girls regarded her with appraising envy or the young men she knew stopped for a friendly word she was overjoyed; felt herself light—trim. Not a soul in all the world suspected her. But by the middle of August she was so nervous the slamming of a door, the dropping of a fork made her start with terror. If any one stared at her she was ready to cry. Jennie said: “You / need a vacation; you’re getting pinched and tired.” “Yes! I’m going away soon. I UUnk I’ll take a month.” The day the steamer was due in San Francisco, Chickie sent a message. It was this: -“Come at once! You must. Another week will be too late.” That week passed and another. She became 111 with a cold, blind despair. She grew so pale that Janina wearied of twitting her; gave up inviting her to parties. With Chlckie’s last refusal she turned scornfully: “Stella Wilson was yellow, Chickie! But you’ve got a streak that runs from yoir head to your feet! Let any yapping Dup crush you like this. Why don’t you come out of it?” Chickie laughed hysterically: “Like to know, wouldn’t you? Ho!” “You're losing your looks, If you must know It.” With a kind of craziness Chlckie mswered: "Ho—long as It’s not my figure, ole dear!” After this she feigned merriment; she rouged; she took Infinite pains with her dress. The last day of August she went to the steamship company. The affable clerk came from behind the counter to greet her. He said,

pleasantly: “Well, we hit the date on the head, didn’t we? She came in on the dot, on that trip.” Muteness froze her tongue—made her heart rigid. She knew that her lips whitened; they wouldn’t smile. She said: “Yes —yes—on the dot.” She turned and walked, shakink from the placed That night she said to Jennie: “I get my vacation next week.” Jennie’s sweet eyes raised: “Well, I’m,glad, dear; you need it; you’re all worn out ” • • • ®ND because her mother, standing behind the chair, ran her soft hand across ChU '.it’s forehead, she fled into her own room, bursting Into tears. It was Tuesday, the first week of September. There was a box In Chickie’s drawer, and on a day when she thought her heart was broken she had gathered all his letters, tied them here, writing on the cover: “Jennie or Jonathan: Burn this as Is, please! By order of your darling Chickie.” Now she took this box and stole Into the kitchen, lifted the cover from the stove, watched the clean, golden flames ■wreathe _about the many sheets—even about his picture. Jennie said: "What destruction is this, dear?” Chickie laughed: “Oh, your darling daughter’s past!” Strange the phone should ring just then. Chickie ran to it and even running, knew. “You want to see me, Chlckie?" Quiet, like that. But It was thunder sweeping through her heart, opening it with Joy. She whispered In a voice all broken: “Barry? Really—you’re here?” "Yes.” “You’re coming? Tonight—oh, really?” "Not tonight, Chlckle. I can’t. I’ve only a little while now ” “Oh —oh—wait—wait a moment —’’ She clung to the phone, fighting against the hardness in her throat. Finally: “I have to see you. Barry, please ” “Tonight, Chlckie? Can you meet me, then?” He told her the place; the restaurant where they often ate — the booth they used to take. In her relief It seemed that all her veins were melting—warmed. She kept crying as she tried to d|ress and murmuring to herself. “Stop—oh, I’ll look a fright—oh, here! Here—” An then her eyes gTew bright; grew dewy and tender. She leaned on the comb, not knowing If she cried or if she laughed. She made herself most radiant. He might love her all anew, seeing lilies and stars about her. He might be glad—might want it all brought back again. She kissed Jonathan; she laid her cheek on his. She ran back and kissed him again, pretending that she dropped her handkerchief. And as she rode downtown ardent words of his sang in her memory. Their love was a lighted wave, magnificent, sweeping over cliffs; beauty 1 7 the power and the dash of It. ’.’hink of It Uke that—he did! Loved what was brave and free. That morning he had come up the hill, finding her so broken, wiping her tears with his hand, whispering—a new, warm gentleness In all his look—" Love you. Chlckie? Always—more than ever—a thousand times!" Even at the last his memories of her were sweet and all his thoughts were filled with tenderness. |Ha wrote that. Now recalling It a flame touched her spirit. There were Vrayers In her heart: “God—dear God”— With a little light rush she went through tb e narrow passage to the booth, her pretty hand extended. She said: "Barry! I knew you’d' come—Barry"— (To Be Continued) (Copyright. King Feature Syndicate)

When I got married and had my first child I was in terrible pain so that it was impossible for me to do my housework. I thought of how the Vegetable Compound had been of so much benefit to me when I was a girl, so I went to Perier’s Drug Store and got six bottles. It sure did help me and I still take It.
