CHAPTER XXI

So it ended-Chickie's first step on
the road back. 1t came as she was
beginning to find the. sun golden
again; a flower along the way.
And this exposure was more ter
rible than the first, because it was
prophetic. 1t foretold with ruthless
candor, her future.
She need have no doubt now as to
the worlds attitude. She had broken
the law. She had loved and brought
her child here without permission.
Did she think this slight
matter? Did she think she could
erect a little stone above the dead
babys grave; make up a name for
it; push her own hurts far down
under a valiant smile and then come
back? Put out her hands to Life
and say: ooh, Life, it's done and
past; let me try again-please? Did
she think she could reach out her
hand like that as though her hands
were clean?
Yes-she did. In her heart, she
did. For Chickie's heart was soft
and glowing thing. 1t had never
seen the evil Of her sin as the world
saw it; never felt itself all shame
and degradation. because of having
loved. Oh, it had fine, eager pulses
made for Joy. They could throb
yet.
So her heart had hoped, even
when her mind, so deeply hurt in
its young pride, was beaten. 1t had
hoped on as vivid hearts will, but
now it to was schooled; it too had
learned.
The world did not want it; the
world would not have It, Chickie
lay on her bed, her face hidden in
the pillows. 1t seemed that a thou
sand tons were upon her, pressing
and pressing. She could never rise
never shake them free.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-07-10
Beaten down by circumstances
again new misery besets
WFFai Chickie.

Again and again she went through
the scenes; Edith Potter confronting
her with that cold enraged look,
then walking up and stripping the
basket from Chickie's arm. AS
though Chickie were some loathsome
thing whose presence had defiled
their home; whose coming was an
outrage to friendship.
The memory burned. 1t was a
great scarlet wound that spread un-
til there was neither fight nor pride
left in Chickie's thoughts. She saw
herself as all OF them were seeing
her.
Oh-she could hear Myra King
with the high color blazing in her
cheeks, her small eyes squirting;
hear Myra say: Can you imagine it.
Passing herself off for one of us!
She was perfectly notorious-every
one got to know of it. A child?
Why-of course. Died-that never
was cleared up-the whole thing a
mystery. All the papers had it. Just
fancy coming down here and palm
ing herself off the way she did! AL
most got away with itr'
| And Chickie could see in her tor
tured imagination the indignant yet
gloating eyes, hear the eager ques-
tons.
when? Just imagine that! Well
if it were years past, one might
understand! Did you ever know Of
anything SO brazen? Why, one
would think butter wouldn't melt in
her mouth! 1t wouldn't be so bad
| if she'd been humble about 1t, but
breezing around, pushing herself
into things!"
There was no end to 1t. Her
thought found new terms for the
condemnation; brought new images
of stained and brazen thing before
her until she grew frightened and
cowed at the thought Of herself; un-
til it seemed, that going there, being
what she was, made her shame mon
strous; made her utterly LOST.
Never-she could never raise her
head again; never beat off the
weight of this judgment. 1t was
a yoke. She grew limp under it's
weight.
She dreamed Of Luis Lamarck,
awakened with a rude, ugly terror;
feeling the mans sleek eyes going
over her. She had dreamed that as
he placed his hand on hers, Edith
standing at the car, called, Don't
Luis! Don't touch herr" Luis had
smiled: his hand had felt along
Chickies arm.
That next morning she had scarce
ly strength to dress. She sat at her
=. window until noon, leaving the bed
unmade; her hair uncombed. She
was afraid to think.
She sat at the window, staring
into the back yard. Wilde saw her
and barked, paving with his front
leg When she paid no attention he
scratched and whinned so at the
kitchen door, Mrs. Janis let him in.
He came bounding to Chickies door,
knocking his flank against it.
When she let him in he barked as
though he would inquire what she
meant sitting there so quiet. He
looked up at her, his ears erect and
his tail stiff.
She stroked him absently. He
crouched a moment. his head be-

tween his paws; then he went over
to the closet and fetched her shoe
dropped it at her feet. He did this
several times, leaping up and giving
her cheek a few hasty ticks with
his tongue.
At last he seemed to understand
and put his head on her knee. This
touched her-oh, a dog, has such a
kind, kind look about him. She
caught the loose skin about his neck
and rolled it.
So he thought it was all right and
went dashing to the kitchen for his
leash. He brought it eloquently and
lai3 it at her feet.
She dressed then, and went out.
1t was like the night she had taken
Wilde and climber so frantically to
the top of the hill-that night she
knew for sure how Life had cornered
her and that there could be no es-
cape.
They went now through those
streets where old homes were turned
into boarding houses. Chickie
walked quickly, coming to a street
that seemed like home.

There entered now into Chickie' s
mind thing that shivered wildly
shivered a moment then grew heavy
and still. 1t lodged cold and motion
less. She felt it's weight. 1t was
the deafness of an utter defeat.
She sat with her eyes closed; a
feeling that she was sinking and
sinking. There was dampness about
her and chill.
She started suddenly when the
chauffeur asked: Pardon, Miss
what's the address,"
But she gave it calmly.
1t was midnight. Mrs. Janis, a
darning bag over her arm was just
turning out the light in a. little sit
ting room. She started at Chickie' s
step: Il didn't expect you back.
Weren't you to stay few days?"
Chickie smiled: Il changed my
plans"
She ran softly up the stairs be-
cause when she spoke her voice had
broken. Ho-what of it-tomorrow
Mrs. Janis would know.
She locked her door and switching
on the lights stared at the empty
walls. Letters were on the table.
She didn't wish to open them.
She held them in her hands until
her eyes blinded. Then she dashed
the tears angrily. mo! I'll not!
I'll mott! Ho-cry-not much! Shed

But there was letter from Jake
and she opened that. 1t would hurt
her to read it and she wanted to
be hurt-hurt so that she would die
and all goodness and all hope die,
too.
And the letter was an exuberant
thing-full of gallant tenderness.
He laughed at her going to the
hospital. Fine bunch that-keep it
up-get acquainted. Think Of me
when I'm old and decrepit, Helena,
dear. Find one like that-some poor
lone dog. And remember, throw her
into second when you hit the
grades!"
The tears went hurrying to her
eyes. Ho-easy to talk; easy for
Jake to say.
And she had believed. Fight back

The moon cut g, Wavering path

of Lee whitman and her promise to
meet him. She saw him standing
in the darkened room, the pale look
of exaltation on his face because
she seemed so beautiful; a chaste-
ness and a dream. Now he waited
at the broom trees.

rush to him, her thin lips arrogant

Puzzle a Day

Upon hearing that the price of
rubber was rising daily, John
thought he could make some money
by selling his old bicycle tires. First
of all he tried to weigh them, but
all ne had was an cid scale and a
o-pound weight. By carefully
measuring he cut off one-third of
one tire and placed one tire on one
side of the scale and one-third Of
tire and the two-pound weight on
the other.
How much did the two tires
weigh?
Last puzzle answer:
The monkey Is 60 inches long, for
the tail is 16 inches in length, the
head 10 inches, the body "a inches.
16 plus 10 plus " Of 16) or 8 equals
