CHAPTER LIV
The RroaNh

Before Jennie was stirring the
next morning, Chickle stole from
bed. She felt a shakiness all
through her as though each nerve
vibrated with its separate fear.
She pinned a note on the kitchen
stove:
Jennie, darling, I forgot to tell
you that your angel child is haV-
Ing breakfast on the beach. It's
all the rage. Give Jonathan ten
kisses and my share Of bacon"
She went softly down the gravel
path, rushed along one moment
by her tormented anxiety; held
back by a shrinking reluctance.
When she saw him through the
willows, sitting in the canoe, mo-
tionless as though he had been
there all night, her heart leaped
He waited quiet like the gray
morning. part Of the chill,
austere scene, the gray water and
the gray mists but half parted by
the sun climbing dimly over the
hills.
She began to run. She touched
his shoulder and laughed Then
her eyes filled, seeing his face so
white; his mouth set, yet trem.

Without speaking, they padded
down the cool river, dragged the
canoe to the beach. He made a
lire, gathering sticks and papers.
swapping the branches Of a dead
tree. Then he set the coffee on
to simmer.
When the bacon wreathed with
pungent fragrance about them and
ne nad succeeded in frying two of
the eggs without getting them
black or sooty. he took a wooden
plate and offered them to Chickie.
He made her look at him, his eyes
humble and pleading: "Chickie.
are you angry with me? Do you
want never to see me again?"
You hurt me so. Oh. terri
Il know. I'm sorry. Don't hold
1t against me-"
Her laugh broke forth, shapnv
as the breeze: "I knew you didn't
mean 1t. Why, Barry, I was sure
Of that"
He lapsed into moodiness, breath.
Ing heavily. She pushed a little
mound OF sand toward him. "Why
are you looking so black?"
I'm not so sure about things
Chickie--about anything. I don't
know how you feel, but this seems
CHASTITY to me-putting everything
In the future. Letting others tell
us how we should feel and when.
One way you look at It it's sordid
It's making slave Of yourself
It's calling emotions shameful and
they are nothing Of the sort! IT'S
making our feelings mark time to
our purse and they won't do II.
And it's degrading to ask 1t. It's
putting money first and love sec.

that. I've always felt sol"

The public this year is considering

It 1s good for the public and good

he came over, kneeling beside her.
He took her hand gently with a
quiet: els this the way you feel
about me, .Chickie?"
"Barry-you break my heart"
He stared at her, his young
mouth grim and reckless. "Why?
Because love you? Is that such
an awful sin? What have. done
that's so terrible, Chickie? Let
you see that I love you--thGt l
want you now ana not some day
that may never come? What's
awful about that?" He laughed
bitterly. 1--WE have no right to
want each other. Moore isn't
ready! / haven't the money!!
From the depths OF throbhlng
suffocation she pleaded, weakly:
Don't talk like this, Harry. Oh.
you mustn't"
"But / feel like this, Chickie.
This is the way ! feel. can't
stand it--that's all"
A deathly chill wrapped down
over the pressing heat. She took
his face In her hands. Then 1t
isn't love. Barry"
Little bitter movements went
about his Lips: "No-by the Lord!
It's Hellr
They sat In an aching quiet. It
seemed to Chickie that time
whole centuries Of it went drag
RinR by with cold, sodden feet.
Then he was standing. Then
he said heavily: I'VE might az

His hand as he helped her to
her feet was like ice. The look
on his face 80 gray and stu
frightened her. He said nothing
at all. When they reached the
cottage he turned to her a mo-
ment, q look beseeching and
anxious like a prayer in his eyes.
He waited till she crossed the
porch. She heard his steps going
down the gravel path. She lis
tened, fearful, as to some COM
pelling and terrible music that
In its growing faintneSS carried
her heart from her.
She lay awake that night, the
look Of drawn suffering on his
face passing again and again be-
fore her like a pale, unhappy
ghost. Suddenly she sat up, the
night air blowing chill on her
bare shoulders. She remembered
with a stab Of terror that she had
turned from him hastily when his
eyes caught her with that look OF
eager pleading. And he had gone
without saying a word.
With the memory, a wtldneSS
swept through her. She saw her.
self stepping from the bed, run
ming down the gravel path-cal-
ing him back, tugging at his
sleeve-holding him.
Overpowering fear crept about
her. What could he do? Where
was he? She wanted to get up
and go stealing to him. II she
had only put her arms about
him: IL she had only whispered
softly, holding his head against
her heart.
She wanted to do that. She
would do 1t! The longing and the
pity Of the afternoon came over
her faint and hot.
Then she heard his voice low
and harsh: What are we to do.
Chiokle? Tell me that"
She covered down in the bed,
staring at the thousand stars
glowing with quiet silver in the
dark bosom Of the night. Oh--he
didn't mean that--he was excited
-he was unnerved-
He would take 1t all back in
the morning. The sun would be
out. They would dash into the
cold water
She put her arms over her face,
closed out thoughts-clOscd out
echoes. They dropped into her
heart, heavy and alive. They
