CHICKIE

Chlckie f Helena)., only daughter of Jonathan and Jennie Bryce, loves Barry Dunne, a young lawyer with Tufts & Lennox. Wealthy Jake Munson, friend of Janina Knowles and Amy Heaton, sends Chiekle a costly pin with a lore note and arranges so her lather does not lose on his oil investment. Jake tells Chlckie he considers Barry's feeling only a boy’s love, and that he will be waiting when Barry has jilted her. Chickie urges 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 G-ulf Steamship Company of San Francisco, and write* for him. Barry returns with the deal unsettled, and Ila invites him to tour the world with her party. When Chickie accuses him of loving Ha. a quarrel follows and he leaves on the trip. In desperation she telegraphs him when she realizes she must endure the consequences of her love. Her parents, ignorant of her plight, favor Jake as a. suitor for Chickie. To' get the opinion of kind Mrs. Blake. Chickie tells a false story of a girl in her own predicament. Tn Barry’s absence Jimmie Blae renews his attention*. When Barry tells Chickie he has been married to Ila for two weeks. Chickie tries to drown herself, but is rescued. She refuses financial help from Barry, takes the name of Mrs. John Clayton, buys herself a wedding ring and goes to the country home of a widow. Mrs. Agnes Robbins, for a month's vacation. Dorothy Wrenden. a hotel oletk at Lancaster, agrees to forward Chiekie’s mail under her assumed name. Mrs. Robbins tells Chickie of her experience on the stage, 00 OX WITH THE BTORV By Elinor© Meherln Why did you come up here, dearie? With that face of yours to bury yourself—” Chickie imagined that Agnes Robbins had begun to suspect. Now she tilted her shoulders with a quick, affirming laugh and opened her hand in a revealing gesture: “Can’t you see, lady?*’ “Well —you don’t tell me? When? A long while yet, no doubt?" “Yes—ages—” ' I suppose you’ll go down to the city for the big event—” Chickie gasped: “Oh—l don’t kpow—l’m not quite sure—” Chickie was now so alarmed she clenched her hands. They were dry and hot. She said, "Well, I’ve not decided.” “Mr. Clayton will bd back, of course?" "Ho—ho that’s just what

makes it rather hard; he ian’t be here. At the earliest, he won’t return till next June.” Mrs. Robbins reached over and patted Chickie’s hand. “Never mind, dearie, you’ll come through it all right. We’re all afraid the first time. It will be such company for you afterwards—” “Oh, yea; I’ve thought of that.” “It will. Some times I wish my girl was little again. I want company so—” Chickie said: “Well, Agnes Robbins, I may camp on with you years and a day and give you company—” She began seriously to conlsder this, yet never quite sure of tuts colorful woman who gave her the feeling of a' volcano, but half quiescent. Agnes Robins had s. very uncertain temper. If the weather became hot. she grew angry. She banged the dishes down on the table; she let the biscuits burn. But she would bvipg cream to Chickie or get down a jar pf preserves. Chlckie understood this as her way of asking pardon, CHAPTER XCVTII. The Ruse SHE month of her vacation was drawing to a close. Jonathan wrote a letter. It had a high, rollicking note. All the sentences ran merrily together, though at every two or three was a large and impressive period. He told Chlckie all the new.' of the block —Mary dropping in of an evening to keep them company; Martha Blake bringing a jar of chow-chow she had made; an automobile accident— Then this paragraph speaking in at. the end: “Just you wait, Chickie girl! You won’t know our old mansion since the artists started on It —one on the inside and one on the out. And what they’ve done to your room! But I won’t tell you a word and don’t ever let your mother know I’ve given you a hint. Mind now—” Chickie read this letter walking along the white, dusty" road.... October—but the sun was In her eyes. They blinked. She sat down suddenly on a little pile of dead hay. She covered her face with her hands. Agnes Robbins talked of herself. Her husband was a musician. In his fifties he became melancho 1 !’. 3o they thought a farm was tha thing for them. It hadn’t proved so. She was restless to get away norw that he was gone. Chickie asked: “Is any one planning to buy?" “Oh—it s a good place if the right person manages It.” Chlckie laughed: “Well, I hope you don’t sell for a while." “Perhaps we shan’t—” In the evening she took a walk. It was still w*rm. The quietude grew. It touched her like a subtle presence. It ‘gave her a subdued, beaten feeling. At the end of a field was a mound under an oak tree. She sat there. She began to figure in an absent, forlorn way then with a vivid, uneasy panic. She said to herself: “Five months —maybe longer—" Nights and nights like this—days and days—with the quiet and the heat and the appalling aloneness. The long imprisonment began. Chiokie wrote home gayly telling of a job offered her. It was an un-dreamed-of opportunity and a perfect miracle that it should come to her. Farm Bureau was to establish offices nearby and she had been offered the job of (secretary at S2OO a month and a chance to work into a big executive position. She had all the qualifications, so : Mrs. Vale, secretary of whole | organization, told her. Vale j liked Chickie. even suggested that | she intended to retire and Chickie [ might then be ready for her place 1 and her salary of $350 a month. Os course, she wasn’t counting _pn | that. But wasn’t it thrilling that j she should get a chance like this just now when she really hated the work I she had been doing. Oh, yes—she (hated her old job—hated it and ! hated it! That’s what made her so ; tired lately. Hadn’t they noticed? | Mitchell was a terrible crank. And then this salary—think of having S6O a month extra! Os course, she’d have to he stationed up here for a month or two —but then she would be traveling about from one county to another and all her expenses paid. Why—she’d have the most gorgeous time and would see the whole country. So what did they think of that? Why, she was hopping with excitement over it and wouldn’t they please write immejetly! and say for her to grab it quick. She wanted it like anything, and she’d never get such a chance again. They knew how it was with opportunity and only knocking once! So hurry and say "yes—yes!”

fV 1 1 HE pictured the two of them I I raise proud eyes and smile L=LI —that Chickie was theirs — smart—well, was she! They wouldn’t deny her—never stand in her way. She knew that. Then only a month or 'two and this brilliant future in her hands How well she read their herats—simple hearts, easy to hurt; easier still to delight. Jonathan wrote —a bit formal this time, for it was an occasion of dignity. “Chlckie, girl, your mother and I are pleased. We rejoice with you in "this opportunity". But we want yqu to be cautious. Now, you have had four years and more of business experience, and you should be In a position to think and judge for yourself. “We don’t want you to hp carried away with the thoughts of sight seeing and traveling. We want you to remember that any one who receives S2OO a month must work hard for it. So we advise you to make careful inquiries; to weigh the matter well. Then if you still believe this Is a great opening, we are willing that you should take it. “You’ll not be so far away, even for these two months, so we’ll expect you down once in a while. Jennie and I are lonesome, so we count on this, but we don’t want our feelings to interfere with a chance that may mean happiness for you. So you write at. once and tell us. Most likely you'll come home for a few days before you take the Job ? If you don’t I’m afraid your mother will be downcast about it. She's got 'surprises for you, Chickie, girl. She wants you to see them. You remember what I hinted about, don’t you?” She cried, reading that. She could see Jennie padtfing about her room, putting up new curtains, drawing them back with bright cords standing aside, her head cocked, proudly surveying her work. And when Chickie didn’t return Jennie would go agaln v into the room. She v/ould draw down the shades. There would come a hush—a darkness in the happy place that had been hers. • • • UT she sent a blithe response: “Old darlings—dearest old t- ■ loves: I knew you’d let me have it! I want it so. It’s even better than I thought. I signed up yesterday—a contract, you know —very formal. And I’m to begin work at once, so I can't have the visit for a while. But Just as soon as ever I can I’m coming down. Oh —maybe you think I’m not Just dying for a sight of you. I can’t dare to think how much I want to hug you, Jonathan darling.” Chickie’s letter went on: “Last night I dreamed that you and Jennie were standing at the bed looking down at me. And you both kissed me again and again. You don’t know how that made me feel. Honestly—when I woke up my face was all wet —so T suppose I must have cried. But just the same tills is a job that only comes once in a life, and I never hoped for such a chance. “So now I want to take it. It won't be so long up here—then think of the great times we can have on S2OO a month. Why, I’m going to buy a little automobile and we’ll step some—us three." Yet Jonathan in his answers did not understand why she couldn’t take a run down on a Saturday. She was driven and she wrote: “What did you think, darling? Talk about luck and golden spoons. But here I’ve only been on the job a week and now they are going to send me along on an inspection tour of the northern counties. Isn't that salubrious, though! I’ll .act as secretary and carry a little portable typewriter. “Now don't write back pielancholy, mother, dear, because if you do it will take away all the joy. I'll onjy be gone six weeks or two months—well, about that long and all my life I’ll have this richness to remember. It’s wonderful to travel. You ought to listen to Agnes Robbins. It makes me envious. And, then, I'm getting all my expenses and a salary besides. So there —and there—- “ Keep sending the mail to Lancaster. There won’t be postoffices in many places that we go, but I’ll write every single day.” Oh, the letters she had to write in the weeks after that—telling of things she had never seen—making up incidents. And now it was November. One day Alice Robbins said to her: “Is all your sewing done?” “I have lotJ of time.” “Maybe not as much as yott think.” She was somewhat insistent. “You ought to do a little. It will take your mind off things. You’re lonely. Why, dearie, your eyes are red half the time. You cry too much. That’s not fair, you know —” Chickie laughedt ' ‘Oh—life isn’t always fair —do you think? find it so?” But Agnes had Billy drive them in the farm car to town and they bought many things. After this, Chickie sewed. She took the things to her room and sat at the window. Ofter she pricked her fingers. They hied. Sometimes she would cry with
