By FUinore Meherin CHAPTER XI The Warning Chiekie went swiftly, yet cautiously through the garden. She had a message from Barbara to Paul Scott. Where the roses grew half wild about an old summer house, she paused, plucking deep yellow buds, pressing their silky petals absently against her face. Scenes drifted into her thoughts —Edith Potter walking like a queen .from her husband; passing with the movie star Into the secluded path; the moon streaming upon her white arms clasped about his neck. Then Wlllman’s face uplifted, telling her with his lips so pale, she was all beauty and love would be a glory. Now Barbara, a radiance In her eyes, wanting to fling herself away These pictures passed through Chickie’s mind—warm, vital things, yet they seemed distant and strange ss though she were a spectator shut off by a great wall. The vivid thump-thump of Life went on behind it. She watched yet took no part in its hot, restless pulse. She carried a message. Often of late, especially here in this Willman home, Chiekie felt, like a shadow touching and following her, this stark isolation. Some times she smiled. Never mind —go onv—pretend—he still as someone old and quiet But other times like now when whizzing humming birds were fairy ships and the bees drank long of honey, youth cried out. Oh she longed for other days; fer Jonathan; for brightness; for a warm hand clasping hers. And for all that she ordered grimly: ‘‘Oh stop—stop!” the want clamored and clamored in her heart* She dreamed at night then. In these dreams there was always a wind blowing. She struggled against it through a river road of oaks. The baby lay in her arms, its little cold face against her breast. It grew heavier and heavier until she sank in the damp earth, because of its weight and its stillness. She fought against these memories. They made her cry. But not only in pity for that Chiekie who had suffered and now was dead — in pity for any one —an understanding of tumult and pain. Why, last night seeing Edith Potter, yielding up her pride and her faith, she had been stirred with this pity; had wished to say to the brother: “Don't be so harsh —oh you don’t know —” She was sorry for him, too, because he asked so much of life, demanded with such imperious passion that life give him a dream — And now she was sorfor Barbara, owned by her love. She wished to put her arms about the girl—hold her back. Strange how she longed to share in this life, yet pitied those in whom it throbbed. Now, going with the note to .Paul Scott, she was torn between sympathy and fear. Barbara had a right to love; perhaps this was the greatest and finest thing she would ever know; how dared that Edith keep it from her! Yet, if Barbara became reckless? She had been fortunate the first few days. He came. Edith was out. ißut today at the last moment she had changed her plans. She had Skin Breaking Out?

come into the garden where Chiekie and Barbara waited. She was tired and decided to lounge about with them. Poor Barbara! She stole off—was gone about ten minutes. Coming back she sent Imploring glances at Chiekie,' saying finally; “Oh —I’m so weary. Do me a favor, Chiekie? Get me that book I left on your bed?” On Chickie’s bed was a book and in it the note with a scrawled, ‘Get this to him —please. He can’t come while she’s here.” Scott waited jn the shadow of trees in the far corner of the grounds. He was fair-haired, strongly built, with an athletic swing to his shoulders. Chiekie liked the fight, yet the kindness of his face. He greeted her anxiously: “Something wrong, Miss Bryce?” Chiekie smiled. “The demoniac —” He read Barbara’s note. The straight-glancing eyes fired. “This is a cowardly position I’m in. I don’t llhow what to do.” He s&id it with a simple plea, as though Chiekie should tell him. “That’s why I went away. It did no good. . . “Well, I should think you would see Mr. Willman. He worships Barbara —he wouldn’t want her life spoiled.” Scott shrugged with a cynical question. “That’s why he doesn’t want me around. He thinks I’m bound to spoil it. I’m older than Barbara. I can’t see what difference that makes.” Chckie said: “You think you could make her happy?” A blush that was frank and gave him an eager, boyish look went to his forehead. “Yes. ... I haven’t a great deal of money. Why? Do you think I do wrong? We’ve talked it all over. Barbara knows what 'she would have to give up. . . “She is only eighteen.” He glanced at Chiekie, his jaw clinched. He walked ever to a tree, then returned. “Yes —but. she won’t regret it. I’m sure of that.” Chiekie thought, “Oh, yes; sure of things' All of us!” Yat she believed in Paul Scott. With a sudden impulse she put'out her hand. “I hope you win, I hope you do. But think of her first —won’t you?” He turned his head. When she returned, Edith said with malice: “Did you read the look first?” Barbara’s eyes shot with uncertainty. “Did he care, Chiekie?” she asked the moment they were alone. ‘!Did he seem awfully disappointed?”' She laughed when Chiekie assented. “Well—oh, don’t you think him glorious? Well —if you saw the simps I meet most of times, Chiekie, tell me, am I attractive? Would you say I had lasting qualities? Oh, don’t laugh! But you know, if Paul should stop caring for me; if he should grow tired, I’d want to die. Really—” In the morning he was to phone. Chiekie always took these calls as though they were for herself. She was nervous, and once or twice, hearing a click on the wires, became alarmed lest Edith should have overheard. It was ’so this morning. Paul said: “I’d like to see you, Helena. Will this afternoon be all right?” “Yes—l believe so. Yes, at the same place.” It was then she heard the clicking. But in a little while Edith joined them. “I’m going to Milwaukee this afternoon. I'll be gone a few days. Why don’t you come, too, Barbara?” “Oh, it’s a long trip.” “Long trip! Do you intend to play the invalid all your life?” “Well—l’m satisfied here. Lee is cojjjing over Sunday and dad, too.” “You might come, I should think, when I gave up my trip east just to be with you. I don’t know how you can he no unappreciative.” Barbara said amiably: “Did you ideally give it up just to be with me. Edith? That’s lovely in you! Stay on, then! I’m here!” Edith snapped about—went out of the room like a streak. I At 1 o’clock her car drove up. She I said, with a. sweetness that should have been warning; “Goodby, Barbara dear. You see I must go. I’ve important business. And as long as you have dear Miss Bryce—” At 2 Paul Scott arrived. Chiekie met him- He said: ”1 thought of what you said.” His whole face seemed newly sharpened—seemed very thin. “We should have done this a year ago. Barbar? wants It. We’re going to be married today— ’’ “No—” She backed from him. “Yes—we are—” And when Bar bara came in, he caught her hands. He looked down at her, with full, quickened eyes as though she were warmth and sun and all life knew of sweetness. They glanced at each other so and laughed. Scarcely a moment. The door opened. Edith was there. She faced them, her thin lips curved but quiet. Her whole face Ironic, unflickering as though carved oi pale marble. Paul’s head raised, his Jaw a chal lenge, his eyes hard as lances. Bar bara’s hands flew to her face, cov ered It. Then Edith said, “Good after noon!” and walked out of the room.

Braving Consequences Chiekie Takes a Note to Paul From Barbara Willman

She went to the telephone. Chiekie heard her calling Norp Willman’s office; calling Barbara with a cooing: “Barbara, dear, father is on the phone. He wishes to speak to you.” Then Edith Potter came into the hall where Chiekie stood. She came close and spoke in Chickie’s ..’ace; “Very clever, Miss Bryce! Quite a little spy! Quite an aid to the lovers! You shall learn what it is to forget your place, my dear! I fear you are going to regret this —bitterly!” CHAPTER XII Iveave Taking C— 1 HICKTE trembled. But the Insolence of Edith Potter touched parks along her nerves. She raised her head till their eyes were on a level. “Are you threatening me, Mrs. Potter?” The small hand flew out, as though Edith meant to strike. It dropped abruptly. A cold, arrogant smile. “We shall see, my dear!” “Yes, indeed, we shall!” Chiekie went up to her room. No one before had ever addressed her with contempt. Pride blazed in her heart. She stood at the window, staring down into the pool. And her whole life seemed unreal. Her leaving home, her presence here, became suddenly oppressive, like a dream one tries to beat from his mind, and cannot. She wondea-ed Idly why she had come, why she should be drawn into the affairs of Barbara Willman. For the first time in Chickie's life, her own thoughts, her own emo tions, her own longings had been pushed aside; the wishes and dreams of others had taken their place. In the cottage on Fair Oaks she had been the princess; her whim the law. In the office her caprices, her prettiness received attention even

from Jarina. She had moved deliciously, with a gay sweetness, in the little world bounded on every side by Chickie’s vagtie hopes, Chickie’s young ideals. , The thought of other had scarcely touched her. The night in the kitchen when Jennie stooped down to mop the floor arid Chiekie saw the silk stockings—old, darned ones she had discarded —saw her mother wearing them; why, that night she had winced with the shock. The very idea! Jennie wanting silk things next to her skin; little faded Jennie yearning for luxuries. Chiekie had never fancied her mother like that. Oh —Jennie was just a nice, plump darling, who pinked her camisoles, made gorgeous strawberry shortcake and brought her breakfast to bed on Sunday mornings— SmallK shallow world, all sparkle —gone now.
