CHICKIE

The Sequel to

Chlckio (Helena), only daughter of Jonathan and Jennie Bryce of Indlanapolie, worked in an office in Market St. Sophisticated Janlna Knowles, co-worker, was Chlckie'a close friend. In an office across the alley worked Barry Dunne, a young law clerk. Janlna took Chlckle to a party given by wealthy Jake Munson, where she met Barry. Both Munson and Barry were attracted by Chlckle and she fell In love with Barry. She promised to maiTy him as soon as he was financially able. . . Barry had some business dealings with a Mr. Moore, head of a big steamship company, and through him met his daughter ila. Chlckie heard that Barry had left on a world tour on one of Moore s steamships and that Ila was in the party. Chickie became frantic when she learned that she was to become the mother of Barry s child. She wired Barry and he returned only to tell her that he had been married to Ila for two weeks. Keeping her secret from her family. Chlckie went to a farm in the northern part of the State. In order to give her family an excuse for her long absence, she told them she wt-e working for the farm bureau. On that farm her child, a girl, was born. Four days after the child was horn she received a message saying hw mother was dying. .Taking the child with her, she started through the hitter odd on a long walk to the railstation, intent on returning the way the child died. Turning the body over to a doctor who promised to glvelt burial she returned to her home, finding her lrU Ch&i? C was auinmonded to appear at tine coroner’s Induest and through this summons hey parents and friend* Chlckle. her secret public property. s? her friends and especially of Jimmy Blake, her childhood sweetheart. i THE) SEQUEL To start life anew. Chlckle leaves her parents and, goes to work in Cnicso. Having decided to live quietly, she refuses the friendship of EdfW Man*, a fellow hoarder at Mrs. Janls’s. Jake Munson sends her flowers and asks for a letter. Daisy Brack, the Ordin sisters and Bobby Jones work with Chickie In the office of Norp Wlllman. _ GO ON WITH THE STORY By Elinor* Meherln The acknowledged Btar of the ofwas Elolse Maxwell, dark, inaky creature. Elolse favored the queenly roles and appeared daily In some new copy of Barbara Le Marr. She had once acted In several crowd scenes and was now In the habit of sayinjg: "Well, as Dorothy Gish was telling me, you just have to keep trying." Or she sometimes waxed more familiar and confided, "I was talking to Doug Fairbanks and he says—” The scene of these conferences was the dressing room just as it had been when Janlna reigned. Chlckie had been working about two weeks when the incident occurred that made a mockery of all her plans. She returned from lunch a little early. The dressing room quivered with excitement. The Ordin sisters had their hair freshly marcelled; Elolse had rushed home and now appeared in anew summer dress of scarlet orgar.die; even Daisy t’rack had a tense, vivid look. She gave Doris Ordin a push: “Step aside, little dimple, you haven’t a chance! The boy likes them homely. I’m elected!’’ Daisy sighed and made room for Chickie. “What’s the use? The son md heir arrives today. Behold the pure sex girding for the battle. Betty Ordin now began to giggle: “I hear he’s to refuse the old man’s join.” An indignant, suppressed “Who said so? The idea!" Betty persisted: “I heard it on good authority. From someone who knows his sister. , He’s just dead set against the girls of his cwn crowd. Calls them all parasites and won’t look at one of them. So you see!” "Yes —and I heard that he’s writing a bock about money being a poison. And he’s saying horrid things In it about women of today and they’re going to the devil. The poor nut!” "Then get away from that mirror, will you!” All afternoon, eyes moved with stealthy anticipation to the door. Each time it opened, the air sharpjned with quickly drawn breaths. At 4 o'clock Lee Willman entered. He seemed to flash through the outer office—a thin, tall form, moving rapidly with restless, half contemptuous looks about him. He came to his father’s desk. It chanced that Chickie was taking dictation. She didn’t raise here eyes. She heard a deep toned voice: “I’ll wait —finish it.” He stood there. Presently Chlckie felt him watching her; felt his glance like a heat on her face. She grew nervous. Then his eyes moved to her hands —back to her face. She felt stifled. Xorp Williams said: “That will dO— — M As Chickie rose, Lee Willman picked up a pencil that fell to the floor. He offered it to her. She saw his face with its extraordinary lighted eyes—large, brown, deep set under the broad, prominent forehead. she caught an impression of someth’ng wistful—over delicate in tils mouth. He smiled, revealing his excessive youth—but it was a magnetic smile, somewhat pathetic. Or it seemed so, to Chickie. The father and son went into a little private office. Half an hour later the father left. Then Dee Willman rang Chlckie's phone. “Would you mind taking some dictation. Miss Bryce?”

Puzzle a Day

Before gofng to Africa the Roose- \ elts bought fifty notebooks for SSO. In these they expected to write about the interesting events of their travels. Some of the notebooks cost $5 and some $.75, some $.50 and some only $.05. How many of each did they purchase? * Last puzzle answer:

Afterwards this seemed to Chlckle but a gesture of fate, lronlo and terrible. CHAPTER in Entanglement* C__l OU’RE new here, Miss Bryce?" * -ij "Yes." "But your home is here?" "It is now." Lee Willman’s eyes narrowed. “Oh, you’re living alone?” Chlokie closed her note book slowly. "Well, Mr. Willman, not exactly alone. I’m one of eleven not counting Wlldie.” "Who’s Wildie?” “A dear friend of mine who differs from other friends by reason of two extra legs and no questions asked, ever." Chickie glanced up in time to see the flash of a smile and a faint color on the young man’s faoe. She was surprised to find the old glib flippance coming so readily to her tongue. “Indeed! Then your friend Wildie and I haven’t/tnuoh In common. So you’ve brought a dog along? And I suppose you’re planning to go into the movies?" "No."* “Well—don’t! That’s the curse of every pretty girl who comes to this town. "All right, sir. I won’t.” Lee Willman laughed—a short, infectious laugh. Almost immediately the brown eyes sobered. He said with a touch of vehemence "Yet it's true, Miss Bryce. It’s appalling. Well, don’t stay to do the typing tonight. I’ll be in tomorrow afternoon." He rose when Chickie did. When she reached the door he said suddenly: “By the way, is this the first job you’ve had since you came here?" “Yes.” "Do you like It? You’re satisfied?” "Yes.” He nodded, surveying her frankly. Chickie's eyes met his. He colored. In the dressing room Eloise Maxwell. with the most studied grace, powdered her nose. In her imagination the world watched her alightest gesture. She said languidly, “You had quite a session with the son and heir. Rather good looking, isn’t he? Did he ask you to dinner?” "Oh, yes! And to a theater and gave me a raise and a week’s vacation all by way of making himself agreeable.” Elolse shrugged: "He has asked girls to dinner right off the bat! In fact—that's the way he operates. It’s right off the bat with him or not at all. He won’t come into this office again for months. Too bad, kid — opportunity knocks but once. If he’d called me, the dear fellow would be paying for dinner at the Blackstone tonight!” Lee Willman came to the office the next afternoon. He came four days in succession. Each time he sent for Chickie. There was an eagerness in his eyes. He interrupted hi 3 dictation to ask sudden questions, waiting with a kind of breathless anxiety for her answers. It disturbed her. One day he kept her late. Every one else was gene. It was raining—a heavy, unexpected downpour. He sat at his desk, his back to her. She waited. Ten minutes—fifteen. Finally: “Have ydu finished, Mr. Willman-?” “No.” But he dictated nothing. After a long while, he got up, saying: “It will have to wait.” He was very pale. Chickie felt a vague excitement. She took a long time putting on her ‘hat. Yet when she came into the corridor Willman waited. “It’s pouring. Miss Bryce. I’ll drive you home.” She hesitated. “The car takes me very near.” "No, it doesn’t. Look—” The rain swept in impetuous, silvery gusts across the pavement. "Great, isn't it? You'd get wet to the skin. Any way,/ I’m driving out your way.” He gave her a quick, boyish smile, open-

ing the door, of r. sedan at the curb. "Now—where?** “I thought jou were driving my way." "I certainly am. Might your way be to dinner with me tonight?” "No, sir. My dates are distributed the first Monday of each month. By Tuesday morning there are none left." "I don’t believe it. You probably think it necessary to turn me down a few times.” Chickie laughed. “How very penetrating you are, Mr. Willman." "Girls have such notions. I think a good many fine friendships are spoiled by all that bunk. Now, you’re down here in this city alone. You must get lonesome. What do you find to do after office hours?” The dark, l'ghted eyes went in frank curiosity over Chlckie's face. He seemed very young and very eager. “I should think it a rather hard situation for a girl, especially a pretty one.” "You mean being alone? Why should it be harder for a girl than for a man? Do you have any difficulty spending your time?” "Life is quite a different thing for a man.” "So I've heard. Why should it be?” "It is. I think it terrible that girls wish to destroy the difference." “Ho, Adam! You mean you like the present arrangement and don’t want it changed? You think a man should do as he pleases, but a woman must do what is right. Is that It?” “Well —whether it’s fair or not, women have held up the torch for centuries. Why should they fling it down today?” Chickie felt suddenly depressed. But she managed to say airily: "Oh. perhaps their arms have gone to sleep strelehed up stiff so long. It’s all real deep, Mr. Willman. I’ll scratch a few dates and think it over.” "I’ll come around and help you with your meditations.” They had reached the street where the boarding heuse was. They passed it. Chlckle said: "That’s where I live." "It seems to be standing very securely. You’re not hungry. We might drive a little. Why did you come to Chicago, Miss Bryce?” "To see Lake Michigan, of course. And a rain storm in spring." "Are your folks li\.ng?” "Yes.” "I should think they’d want you with them.” “I’m only here for a while. You see I have a longing to travel; to get a glimpse at this and that. This is the only way I can do it—” "Os course. You might as well see all you can. Have you driven out to Wlnetka yet? It’s wonderful there—a regular fairyland. We have a place there. You’ll have to come out—” They passed slowly, through an old street with but a few dwellings. Lee Willman, glanced straight ahead into the rain that was gray now and swirling at the windows, said eagerly: "Some times you seem very sad to me, Miss Bryce." "A woman of moods and mystery, sir!" "How old are you?” "Older than you.” "No—you aren't. Are you twenty?” "Plus two.” "We’re the same age, then. I've oniy known you a week—but it seems years.” ‘Perhaps you ore given to quick friendships.” "I’m not given to friendships at all—that is not with girls—” He became breathless and reaching over his hand suddenly pressed Chlckie’s. He said hoarsely: "You're very beautiful.” She was moved and answered, troubled. "Please don’t say things like that.” “Why?” "We can’t be friends, if you do.” "We are going to be friends. Why shall I not say you are beautiful, since you are?’’ She was silent. "Very well—say as you like. I won’t he>ar.”

Chickie’s Employer's Son Tries to Win Her Interest, But She Remains Cold.

He answered: "Next week, you must come to Winetka. I will have my sister ask you.” It was a Tuesday at noon time. Lee Willman came tq the office and sent for Chickie. He kept her past twelve o’clock. While he was dictating a young girl about eighteen with the same large brown eyes, the same sensitive and willful mouth as her brother’s came breezing into the room. She wore a summer dress of rose crepe with a great bunch of white orchids at her belt. Willman said simply: “Barbara, this is Miss Bryce. Come, I’ll take you both to lunch.” Barbara Willman took Chlckie's hand. She said, gayly: "Well, it suits me. Isn’t he a love, Miss Bryce?” Chickie hesitated, Bmillng. She said: "I've only half an hour left. Perhaps ’’ Willman answered: "You have two hours.” They went out together—the three of them. (To Be Continued) (Copyright, King Feature Syndicate)
