The Sequel to

CHICKIE

Chi Okie (Helena) is the onl" <1 an ter ol Jonathan and Jennie Bryce of Indianapolis, iu s.art aeer her child dies and Barry Dunne, her Bweetheart. jilts her to marry wealthy Ila Moore. Chiekie goes to Chicago for employment. Sarah Dillon, the Abbott sisters, Amy Heaton. Stella Wilson. Mary Blake McPike, Janina Knowles and wealthy Jake Munson are Chiekie s home-town friends. Jimmie Blake, a childhood sweetheart. who still loves Chiekie, accepts a position in Honolulu. Chiekie goes to the home of her employer Norp Willman. as companion for his daughter. Barbara. Leo, his son, loves Chiekie. Their sister, Edith (Mrs. Dirks Potter), secretly loves Timmy, an adior. Chiekie is asked to be a bridesmaid at the wedding of Barbara and Paul Scott. At the rehearsal. Myra King recognizee Chicltie and tells Edith of her past life. Edith orders Chiekie to leave. Lee attempts suicide when Chiekie confirms the story. She accepts a position in the office of George Edgeman. where Luis Lamarck, friend of the Wlllmans. has a studio. While Edgeman is away Lamarck tells Chiekie that her past means nothing to him. The climax comes when he insinuates that because of him she is receiving moro salary than the work is worth. She tears up her check and leaves. The case of Elena Castanaday, youthful unmarried mother, impresses Chiekie. Chiekie returns home with her parents and begins training as a nurse. At a nurses' dance Chiekie meets Dr. David Ramm. Their mutual interest CTO VS. GO OX WITH THE STORY By ulluore Meherin It was very chatty, all this comparing and quizzing. Every girl’s friends weic catalogued. If she were pretty and went out with a shabby escort, someone would say, with a sniff: “Great to be popular! As for me, I’m particular!” If the man were handsome, the comment was equally caustic: "Men—what ct.n you expect—” Now Chiekie said: “He saw me waiting for a car and gave me a lift—” Miss Underwood smiled, and said in a drawl: “Oh, is that so? I like surgery. When I graduate I’m going in for it. I suppose you are, too—” “I haven’t thought of it —” “Well—l imagine you will—” Chiekie wondered why she said this; why she should twit her about a chance meeting. But she dismissed it carelessly. She lay awake a long while going through the operation, wondering if the woman would recover. How unreal to be climbing into bed at 2 o’clock in the morning; to have stayed up on this strange adventure, to be so undisturbed now at the sight of blood—of flesh opened— The woman was young enough. Chiekie wondered about her family, who had sent her here? Was it someone who loved her a great deal? How did Dr. Ramm come to know her? Would she die? Or would that difficult operation save her life? Did she want greatly to live? She went on duty early next day. She was restless and as concerned as though the patient's life lay in her hands. She felt a thrill, finding the woman alive ... a greater thrill In waiting on her. At 11 o’clock that night Dr. Ramm came in. He said quietly: "How is our patient?” Chiekie was startled and said: “Not worse. Isn’t she all right?” “Well, isn’t she?” He went over and looked at the woman. Going out he said to Chiekie; “Are you on duty all this week at this time?” “No—l go on in the morning tomorrow—” "That’s good—l have an important thing on for Saturday afternoon. I’d like you to see it 1 —” “An operation?” "Several of them —Will you come?” She answered, mystified: "Yes. Not here?” “No—down the line. I’ll have to take you. That’s all right, isn't it?” She said uneasily: "I suppose so —of course.” CHAPTER L Ideals “You know where we’re going, Miss Bryce?” “Well—do I?’* “To the Butler track meet. It ought to be great”— She was surprised and showed it. He asked: “Don't you like that?” "Why, yes—yes I do”— But in the next hour as she passed down the white, silent ward she could hear her pulses thump. When she reached her room she was panting. Myrtle was asleep. She had forgotten to open the window. The air - was heavy, like a solid. On Cblckie’s dresser was a large piece of cake and a note: “Dear Bryce—Wonderful cake your mother sent down. Too bad you weren’t here. Know you wouldn't mind, so I helped myself and Gates. Saved you some—" Another time this would have spurred Chiekie to a sharp Irritation. Now she picked off a bit of the thick chocolate icing and stole softly to open the window. A rushing like a wind was in her thoughts —a still excitement. She had a distracted feeling as though someone whispered: “Now —well—you’ve done It, haven’t you! Never satisfied!” She saw herself driving with David Ramm —making a fine pretense of gaiety. She stirred the earth In the window box with her finger, biting her lips to keep back a great wave of sorrow for herself. She remembered the thrill Jake's first invitation had given her; and the wild brightness that sang in her

Acid Stomach I “Phillips Milk of Magnesia” Better than Soda

Hereafter, instead of soda take a little "Phillilps Milk of Magnesia” in water any time for indigestion or sour, acid, gassy stomach, and relief will come instantly. For fifty years genuine ‘‘Phillips Milk of Magnesia” has been pre- > scribed by physicians because it overcomes three times as much acid in the stomach as a saturated solution of bicarbonate of soda, leaving the stomach sweet and free from all gases. It neutralizes acid fermentations in the bowels and gently urges the souring waste from the system without purging. Besides, it Is more pleasant to take than soda. Insist upon “Phillilps.” Twenty-five cent bottles, Any drug store.—Advertisement.

thoughts that distant Sunday when for the first time she had driven down the road to sit beneath a tree. She could have wept now that all this was irrevocably closed. But v when she was seated next him and he looked young and very pleased with an almost teasing light in his deep, searching eyes, she "felt a sudden lightness of spirit. She laughed with a sparkle of impudent flippance. “You seem quite human, Doctor David. But did you know I stand in awe of you?” “Os course, I do. I mean that you shall —” “Ho!” Her mood touched with recklessness. One hour —a gay, stolen hour—why not? If’she wanted to laugh now—well, she was just going to! She said lightly: “Now, tell me—did the girl in Vienna die? And what are all those other tales. I would be entertained!” He talked easily. Had she ever been to a track meet? She was learning to play tennis, wasn’t she? He’d seen her on the court. Good thing. It was long since she had been on a jaunt like this. It stimulated her like a wine. When they watched the sprinting he was taut as steel. In the hundred yard dash he picked out a chunky fellow, saying tensely: "I used to run. He’ll win. I’ll bet on him!” The runner started with a dashing brilliance. In the last second he was outstripped. David stood up and shouted. When the boy lost he snapped his fist with a soft: “Damnation —damn!” Chiekie burst out laughing. She felt very friendly—untroubled. When he said, "Thanks for breaking- your rule, Miss Helen, we’ll do It again,” she answered breezily “Yes —let's!” Alone she was startled at her cool ness as though she had suffered some lapse. Finally she thought, "I can't go through life ignoring every one. I can have a day like this now and then. I’ll have to —” 1 She was certain of her power to keep this or any friendship utterly Impersonal—utterly in her own control. It was easy with this David Ramm because in his work he was absorbed and selfless as some inspired machine. For weeks at a time he had no other thoughts. Chiekie used to wonder about him as though he were anew species of being. She contrasted him with herself and flushed with humility. One day taking a walk with Wildie she thought, “Did he ever do anything he was sorry for? I suppose not!” She was confused and ashamed even wondering this. No—men like he were not buried in their own petty, wild desires. They weren’t loafing about waiting for Life to present them with some glowing gift. They were big—noble—above passion and meanness: even above haman yearnings. Chiekie had yet this outlook of the girl eager to exalt an Ideal; to embody it in one who seemed to have the touch of glory. Then to drop on her knees and worship. Incidents stood out luminous in her mind. There was a little boy of 9 —game little youngster. His hand was mangled. David tried to save It. He worked as though he meant to fashion new fingers. In the end it had to be amputated. Chiekie saw the operation. She felt like crying. The doctor’s face was pale. She had never seen him work so silently—without a word; never saw his eyes so warm. That afternoon she met him and spoke of it. He said, through his teeth: “Ah, damn! Why does a thing like that happen—great little kid, too. Hate a thing like that!” Another time Chiekie was on night duty in the men’s ward. There was a very gentle boy about 18 In a cast. The cast was split so that the patient lay In It as In a half shell. Unexpectedly he became delirious and tried to spring from the bed. Chiekie was frightened, finding herself unable to restrain him. She called the patient in the adjoining bed. Then with a kind of inspiration grabbed up the other half of the cast that was standing near the wall —set It in place with tape. The following night Dr. David walked Into the ward. He said, “Put It here, little nurse!” and held out his hand. Her heart leaped. One afternoon he asked her to take a ride through the park. Before leaving the hospital she visited the maternity ward because of a case that drew her with a cruel fascination. Two weeks previously the ambulance had been called one night to get young girl reported to have been seized with a violent and very sudden case of appendicitis. The girl was fifteen—an overgrown, country type. She lived with three brothers and kept house for them.

Tfis Speaker gave away these old balls and bats to two youngsters. They could not decide how to divide them so Tris suggested counting out. One was to take the first five articles counted out and the other to take the remainder. Under this plan one boy received all the balls, while the other got all the bats. Find the number by which counting round and round will leave all the bats.

iii.. —- Dr. Ramm Takes Chiekie to a Track Meet at Butler— Her Interest Grows.

They were aghast when a child w if-: born. The oldest brother, a bar.* Wurking, well meaning fellow, came to the supervisor. He said it never dawned on him that his sister was even old enough to worry about. He blamed himself. They should have looked after her better. And now he and his brothers didn’t want the girl's life ruined. They wanted the child quietly disposed of—they wanted its birth kept entirely unknown. So they took their sister home and left the little child. It was a boy—beautifully formed, large. Chiekie touched its hands. They were warm And to her dismay, her eyes filled with tears. Make this tiny thing take the penalty. Run away and leave it—How dared people do such things? Oh—the selfishness that doesn’t think— She began to tremble and abruptly walked out of the nursery. Getting into the machine she was completely unnerved and |didn’t look at David Ramm. Yet she had a wish to pluck his sleeve, to say: “I don’t wonder the world is harsh sometimes to me and that girl. But what do you think—” And this wish to have some word from him mastered her. She told of the baby left like that. He said carelessly: “Yes—l know It.” “Do you see how a mother could do it? I should think the torment would be crucifying. Shouldn’t you think she’d wake up in the night and wonder where it was; if it was turning pretty; if people were kind to It—” He looked down at her with a half mocking amusement: “Well, Miss Helen, do you suppose that girl Is afflicted with an imagination? She’d probably not have got Into this if she were a high strung type, or if she could visualize much.” She winced: “You mean it takes a coarser type to do these things?” Then swiftly: “I suppose that’s the answer. Yes. A girl with any strength and fineness just can’t do such things—” “Oh—that’s rather sweeping. I was only considering the majority of cases that cbme to open attention. Some very exceptional women have had children without marriage. Are you able to believe that, Miss Bryce?” “Well—suppose they are exceptional before—do you think they can go through such an experience without Irreparable hurt to their own natures. Won’t they always be less because of it?” He considered this and frowned. She waited in a flaming, suppressed eagerness as though the answer meant her doom. “I’d say it depends on the Individual. For a man or for a woman the wrong in such an act Is the damage they do to their own ideals. If a girl feels that she’s degraded; if *he can’t look herself In the face because of it —then it’s tragic and may be hopeless.” ‘Do you think it’s different if she loves?” “Isn’t It? You can’t set down any hard and fast rules, can you? If a girl loves it’s mighty pathetic, I’d say. "Then there are other types that take an experience such as this as a matter of fact just as they take their meals. I’ve known Europeans to regard It so.”

She sat down very low. She said breathlessly: “That’s terrible, though—that leaves us no beauty—none at all—” He answered in the same quiet tone: "I believe you’re right. Why should one cheat himself?” She shivered —cheat one’s self— But if one did —could they ever make it right— She started to ask this question and grew hot and ended with a high falsetto laugh— CHAPTER LI Triumph Janina came out often to see her One Saturday afternoon they went for a swim. They lay by the pool. Chiekie brooded with a serious wonder on her own interest in life. She thought, “The sun is warm—l love It,” and she was even a little dismayed finding a glow and a lilt in her heart. Janina said, “You’re almost beautiful, Chiekie.” “I thought I always was Janina.” ‘And you’re interesting now.” “Why the diagnosis?” “I wonder if you knew it.” Janina stretched her long arms and yawned. “After all, Chiekie, why should we grouch at t ie tools life uses as long as she makes a neat job of us in the end?” “Yes —but suppose the tool slips and we’re marked instead of made?” Janina shrugged. "That’s the fault of the clay if it can’t react: not the fault of life.” Chiekie traced a name in the sand. She thought of herself, then swift contrasts with other girls whose fate was harsher —Elena Castenada and that one who had brothers but who left her baby. She said: “That’s not true, Janina. Life can be too ruthless and you can’t react —.” She told Janina these incidents. Janina listened. Her black eyes were hot, her lips curling. “Poor trash! I wish I had a child by the first man I loved!” “Oh, Janina! Would the child thank you?” (To Be Continued) (Copyright. Kin* Feature Syndicate)
