He walked Into the building with her. He seemed thin and very pale. She would have been glad to work along with him through the night—stand at his side no matter how hard the toil. She said so: “Let me go, too—l might be needed.” "You will be—many times. You did enough for one week —” Yet he seemed as loatn to go on as she was to part. She had a sense of comradeship that was new and different —made him seem close —- ( In her room, her thoughts followed him. What was he doing? What words would he say now to the mother? And to the young father who was such an old friend of hts . . . He would watch with him through the night—heedless of himself. She lay awake in a state of trembling excitement. She saw his face as he had worked over the child and she had fancied him in a pit alone — fighting against death —a light radiant from his eyes . . . Then the moment when he had reached out his arms to hold her returned. She closed her eyes swiftly—pressing her hands against her throat ... CHAPTER LXIX A Nod From Barry “Heard you were here, Chickie. Just thought I’d look you up. Long time, no see. By Henry, you're prettier than ever. Sa’ fact!” Chickie recognized the voice. It went with a little sickening cut along her nerves. She put down her charts and smiled at the dumpy, rotund little fellow standing at the door of the treatment room. “By Henry you make some nurse! 11l tell the world! Sure enough I will—’ Nicky, no longer bachelor, retaining all his gallant smiles, twinkling eyes and red, merry face, put out a fat hand; “Shake, girlie—guess you know I got trapped, eh? Wife's downstairs* now visiting her sister. Young son and heir in the sister’s family. Know her? Mrs. Oberling. Heard you were here through Tim Daniels—fellow whose wife fell with the baby. Sad, awful —wasn’t it? Beth doesn’t, seem to get over it. . . . melancholy —shouldn't be surprised if her mind Is touched ” Then Nicky stood on his toes. He just about reached Chickie’s ear. “Say, Chickie, I hear It's all settled

Getting Skinnier Every Day Hollows fcn Cheeks and Neck Growing Deeper Every Week Something Must Be Done and Done Right Now—Quick Tens of thousands of thin, run-down men—-yes, and women too—are getting discouraged—ere giving up all hope of ever being able to take on flesh and look healthy and strong.

between you and Jake. Bea sport and tell your old pal, Nick.” “Indeed- —did you hear that or dream it, Nicky?” “Gosh, now, I haven't lost all my gifts because of taking a wife. Gossip and Nicky, you know!" Chickie laughed, hiding her sharp uneasiness. “You old fox, Nicky, with your tail cut off! Do you really think you could wish the same calamity on Jake? ’Tis to laugh when one speaks of Jake in whispers!' Nicky rolled his head between his shoulders. “Look at myse’ - ’! Shows you never can tell. Glad to see you looking so fine. I’ll run along now. May be up to see you again while the wife visits!” He went wagging stoutly down the hall. Chickie thought absently: “I suppose people do a lot of talking. I suppose they have much to say!” Two or three days later she was coming down the steps of the hospital. She was going home for dinner. She met David. He was in a hurry, but swept off his hat. “I got those X-rays. Thought you’d be interested. Coming back later? I’ll drive over and bring you back. How’s that?” He gave her a quick smile. It went with a bright glow of pleasure into her mind. Her thoughts took on a warmth so that when a voice called out her name, she stopped as though suddenly aroused. Her face suffused with color. It was Nicky. His wife was just getting Into the car. She was a dark, serious girl, about 28. She wore a brown suit, a brown hat and a pair of new white gloves. She had a very conscientious air. Nicky said In a soft drawl: “So that’s the way the 4vind blows. Give us the low down, Chickie. Is It our friend Dave, you’re smiling at? Makes it nice for these doctors. I tried to get his eye but he was in such a hurry he didn’t see me for a gnat! Notice he had time for you! Eh?” His wife frowned. She was Irritable and obviously bored with her mate. “Don’t mind him, Miss Bryce,” she apologized. “You may think you’re very witty, Nicholas. Do you suppose Miss Bryce enjoys this?” “Now, look here, Bertha, Chickie and I were pals before you'd got one smile from your friend husband! And If she’s going to pick off my friend Dave, I'm gonna be the first to hear the news and the first to breeze it hither and yon!” “Yes. You are, are you? No doubt by the time David is ready for such affairs you’ll have plenty of time to learn.” Nicky shrugged: “Oh, these wives, Chickie —that’s the way they henpeck us—even tough old birds.” He waved the fat hand: “But you’ll send me an underground, won’t you?” Chickie said quietly and giving Nicky a cold, hostile look: “Dr. Ramm was speaking of a patient and giving me orders about It. You suppose, Nicky, that I am thinking of marriage?” He answered bluffly, but the color flying into his face: “1 used to say the same!” She wondered at his cruoeness, and riding home became burningly alarmed. Nicky was chatty as an old woman. If he started siich a rumor It would fly everywhere. Their names would be coupled. Then the whispered talk would begin. . . . She viewed this possibility with a sickening recoil. How' cheap the words of others can make a thing. How utterly sordid! And everyone would wonder what David could be thinking of. Ruin his future —linking it with hers— She saw herself coldly as these others would and It suddenly appalled her that she had allowed a friendship to grow—that she had so carelessly gone out with him. . . . An oppression, like a load of lead clamped about her neck—. She decided, as she walked nervously up Thirtieth St: “This is the end of it. I won’t go out with him. Not again!” But they had tickets for a concert. He wouldn’t accept any excuses. Finally she solaced her thoughts: “Perhaps he knows!" She could never completely make up her mind on this point. . . . The concert was about half over when she noticed, at an oblique angle three rows In front of them, a girl with gold hair done high above a very white neck. She recognized it even at half a glance and before she had seen the beautifully sculptured head of Barry Dunne. A heat shot through Chickie’s veins, whirling like a flame about her face. She glanced at her program, trying to hide the scarlet of her cheeks. She remained in this attitude. As from another world, the music came to her—then David’s voice. She had not seen Barry Dunne since that night In September

Chickie Sees Barry Dunne at a Concert and Old Memories Return.

. . . The night she had gone to the river and he had waited frantically on the corner. He had walked along with her, and when they reached the lamppost noticed her feet leaving wet prints on the cement. He had stooped and touched , the dripping edges of her coat. All this came searing back into her mind, and how he had followed her into the alley, pleading, how the moonlight, soft on the climbing roses, showed him her swollen wrists; how he had stood with his face hidden against the window sash, his arms upraised. She was sitting lower and lower in her chair —unconscious of this. Suddenly David touched her hand. He said, smiling: “Beautiful—oh hear —” Slowly she drew herself upright—she smiled back —how tall this David looked, how fine he held his head— She closed her eyes. She had scarcely heard a note, but she said: "Wonderful —Isn’t it —” She looked about the audience, assuming a quiet air. She was afraid people would hear the thumping of her heart. But they could easily leave without meeting—of course they could. The concert was over. She said: "Let us hurry—warm—very warm — At that moment Ila Moore —almost as though she had been called, turned around. She saw David — bowed eagerly—as though in a glowing tribute, taking a quick step toward him. Seeing Chickie she halted, a look of shocked astonishment fixing her features. She looked again to make sure that Chickie and David were together. Then she to Chickie. As she did this Barry Dunne followed her glance. The color dropped visibly from his face, leaving it dulled, like ashes. Mechanically, he nodded. The whole thing took but a moment. In that moment Chickie forgot the concert hall, the people passing: David standing at her side. He put the gloves in her hand. She looked up and saw, or thought she saw, a quickened gleam in his eyes, a challenge in the clinch of his jaws. Oh—she imagined that. For now he was stooping down —now he was smiling and in a gallant way fixing the collar of her coat. “Here —little girl—your gloves—don’t you want them ...” He saw the shaking of her hands. She didn't care—oh, make a wild dash and escape. He took her arm and was talking to her. She answered yet wondered what words she could be finding to say— Outside she said In a little gasp—- “ Hurry up!” “No hurry! None at all—” And he took her for a drive—to a place where many times she and that other had sat. Almost as a living voice there came Into her ears words she had spoken—often—oh, far too often: “Do you love me? Tell me that you love me!” Suing for his endearments —begging for them. Yes! Even running her fingers along his arm, coaxingly to his neck. That was she —that other self. Incredible It seemed. She shivered. Then an arm went about her. . . “Are you cold, Helen?” “No—” He touched her hands, they were icy. He covered them and drew her gently, but in such an easy, quiet way as though he did it only because she were cold, only because she needed it. It unnerved her; set a wild, tremulous sob running through to her throat. Yet she was glad for the strength of his arm just then; glad for the warmth of It. She wanted it there—wished foolishly to thank him for it. She looked up. wondering what she would see in his face. He turned it sharply—then he looked down and laughed at her: “Fooled you that time!”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CHAPTER LXX Rumor Chickie stood at her mirror, lost In thought- Her face and her eyes had a clear, ethereal look. But she was not observing herself. She was seeing In the glass other faces—lla Moore’s, rigid with amazement. Barry Dunne’s, dulled like ashes. They were far down In the mirror, those two —and distant. Chickie found it hard to identify herself with them and with the part they had played in her life. Hard to believe that one night she had stood behind the curtains in the living room, her heart bright with excitement as she waited his coming. How she had combed her hair! How she had polished her nails. Oh—he must find her lovely: lovelier than that other who knew of Plato and poetry and all strange philosophies. How she had laughed when he said: “Ah, dear thing—so pretty she is!” Kneeled to him—many times. And once, white with panic, spied on him. The words he had whipped at her for this: "Sordid! Stoop to this! Lies —I can’t stand it.” Relentlessly this procession of selves before her, whispering: “I am you! lam you!” She grew faint with scorn and with heat, recognizing the images. Push them away—the pitiful shadows—no longer hers. She stood with her eyes closed, head raised. Suddenly she thought of David, tall at her side, stooping to fix so gallantly the collar of her coat—the warmth In his eyes and the gleam kindling like a challenge. But why? He didn’t know Barry Dunne —didn’t know this was the man. Os course not! He only saw that Chickie knew Ila Moore and that she was disturbed at the meeting Well—she might be disturbed meeting any of the old crowd—naturally. (To Be Continued) (Copyright. Kin?
