CHAPTER LXIV.
Drawing It.

Chickie took the receiver, the
chords of her throat Tightening. She
heard his voice. An impulse to
press the hook down softly. hold it
down till he lost patience and hung
up, possessed her.
Then he said sharply. Hello
you're there"
why, yes--I am now"
A laugh: "Out-smarted you that
time! You didn't keep your appoint
ment"
II didn't get here at twelve"
Logical enough. You got the
credits all right?"
'Yes-I got them"
Fine. Then you'll see Mrs. Ellis
Monday between two and three. I
told her you were coming"
"Ok--did you? I've changed my
plans. 1 won't be able to go Mon
day"
"Why?"
1t came so quietly she had no an
swer and hedged: II can't explain
but you know"
Jennie, rosy with anxiety, was all
this while standing in the doorway.
twisting her apron in her hands.
She didn't mean to pry. She was
merely excited and-curious.
Chickie, now warm with nervous
ness, repeated: 1--WE just decided on
something else"
do you mean that you don't wish
to transfer?"
mot exactly"
What is it that you've decided
on?"
She pressed her mouth hard
against the phone-unable, for q mo-
ment, to command the slightest
word. Finally she said, in a faint,
half dispairing tone: TITS just as
told you before. I don't think I'd be
accepted"
Yes, you will. The best way to
make sure of that is to try. I've
made the arrangements. Please
don't ball them up"
She tried twice to ask: did you
see the letter Of recommendation,
DR.. David?" But no forcing would
bring the glaring question forth. She
answered instead: "Oh, ali right
I'll 60
"Helen-you won't break this ap-
pointment?"
"No-I'll keep it"
She forgot Jennie. She stood with
her hands on the hook-clammy. yet
hot, trying to tell herself: What Of
tit doesn't matter-one thing more
what Of it"
But Jennie repeated: "Chickie!
What is it? What is the matter?"
"Oh-you there, Miss Jennie?"
What did he want? You're all
upset"
"Yes-you see-there's O. chance.
Well-he knows Of a place in an
other hospital. and he wants me to
try to get it,"
Leave where you are? Is that
wiser"
Jennie's eyes grew big. Chickie
took the telephone book and very
precisely hung 1t on a small screw.
'I guess it's wise. If I can get it
he thinks So"
And Jonathan had to hear about
it. By this time Chickie's story was
clear and glowing Why
|fbig opportunities! And who knows
she might be something yet!
She talked thus gaily. Within her
was a chilly quiet and deeper than
this a turmoil and a clash. She
moved about precisely. She stacked
the dishes and very methodically
brushed crumbs from the pantry
shelf.

however, exonerated Miss Bryce of

"The revelation Of these facts,

the continuance of her training in
this institution difficult. I see, how.

And this she was to offer to that
friend of David Ramm's. And, offer
ing this, she was to ask that they
accept her! That they make her
member Of their school!
She folded the papers quietly--she

CHAPTER IXIII
Janina's Way

Chickie didn't go home. She took
the two parts of the letter and
crumpled them in her purse.
She walked on swiftly in chill
tensity of resolution. She walked
thus, because she had no destina-
ton: she would never have any and
she didn't care.
She came to the top of a hill
and suddenly remembered standing
here once before. 1t was that day
Jennie put the sweet lavender in the
bureau drawers where the bridal set
was hidden and where the letter
from Barry Dunno lay open-the
letter saying they had a right to
love; think Of it as magnificent
wave; never let the thoughts or
others bring it shame.
She stood now at the same low
fence and gazed down the street.
With a piercing freshness she re-
membered the terror Of that day and
how she had longed for his arms
his voice.
She thought then that she knew
loneliness! She knew it now-for
one is only alone when hope leaves
him.
She stared along while, unwilling
to move, fighting against thought.
- whistle with a deep, rugged
voice swept up and broke the silence.
Jalf-nast twelve. DR.. David had
nhoned by now. She wasn't there.
hard satisfaction lsteeled through
her mind.
And she could see his face, the
lit of his head, the warmth Of his
deep eyes. The nobler he appeared
to her thought, the more he was re-
moved from her and the harder
burned her resentment.
How could he be so blind about It?
Flow could he have failed to under
stand? He said confidently: why
OF course you'll be accepted" And
he was to phone and learn how she
Jared. ------.
He would never know! She would
not tell him his kindness was USE
less and she herself past aiding
(, yes, past aiding. Chickie said this
aloud. A flame crept up along her
neck. but her heart got heavy like
a stone.
The bag with the letter Of recon-
mendation was a weight. She had
a wish to raise 1t aloft; send it
f1inging across the lot. Her eyes
grew hard and brilliant.
Get away from this-dismiss tt
put 1t from her thoughts.
1t was Saturday and not yet 1
O'Clock. She thought Of Janina
and hurried. She would spend the
afternoon with Janina-go shopping
with her-walk into all the stores.
Why not?
Janina, always ready to break an
old date for more promising new
one, called gaily over the phone:,
"Sure, ole thing! Get yourself down
as quick as you can
Janina was in a biting mood. She
looked very striking. Her bold eyes
glittered. And as they sat in a
booth OF a new restaurant Janina
had discovered, she surveyed Chickie
from head to foot. why SO pale,
little one?"
Lack of rouge"
''All right Why so excited, then ?''
st suppose you think came here
with some gorgeous adventure to re-
gale. Sorry to dash your hopes"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-08-10

I'm scot free today and you're
handed a letter with paragraphs
like &hat. Isn't it a joker"
Mono, really. Janina. It's not
at all funny
well, it would be If 1t happened
to me. I'd take that letter and
flounce it down as cool as you please
before the head of every hospital In
the city. I'd laugh in their faces
and ask If they ate when they were
hungry, shivered when they were
cold, and, as our poor Shylock adds
do they grin when they're tickled!
I'll go with you, Chickie."
Chickie reached over and twitched
the letter impatiently from under
Janina's hands. FROM an utter pal
lor, her cheeks were now scarlet
her eyes hot
She said family: "It means a
thing or two, Janina, to lose twenty
months and everything"
You won't lose it-Chickie-I'm
sure there's some place where they
have sense enough to live in the
twentieth century. Well-anyway-
you can get other jobs"
"Yes-Ill have to. You know
I've only received $40 a month for
nearly two years-well-1'm about
broke"
Janina looked down and very care
fully folded her napkin. She said
quietly: "How's Jake? You hear
from him?"
yes
"And you go out with him."
Yes"
"And you are what you are! Good
Lord And mira cles!"
There never was such a friend,
Janina--"
"Friendr' Then Janina laughed
and added softly: What in the name
of God, Chickie Bryce, do you
want?"
Janina began 20 talk, rapidly
brightly. They went to a movie.
She tucked her arm finally in
Chickie's: I'll find out about that,
Chi6kie. I'll go and inquire myself

When Chickie reached home Jen'
ME was at the telephone. She said

Chickie shook her head. Jennie
said again: "She's just come in!
Then she added in an important
whisper: ''Well-it's the doctor
He's called four times-hurry."

WIDOW BLOCKS
AUTOPSY ON
HUSBAND

MOULTRIE, Ga, Nov. 14.-An
autopsy was halted by an injunction
procured by Mrs. J. J. Stanfill, the
widow of the dead man whose body
an insurance company wanted disin-
TERED. Stanfill's death occurred about
month ago and a short time after
it is alleged that he was injured while
at work in an industrial plant in
Pelham. The insurance company
carrying the compensation insurance
for the corporation that employed
Stanfill is contesting payment and is
seeking to show that the accident in
which Stanfill figured was not respon-
sible for his death.
The widow at first consented to the
autopsy and employed a physician to
represent her, but later changed her
mind and secured the temporary in
junction. Hearing TO determine
whether the injunction is to be made
permanent will be held later before
Judge w. E. Thomas, of the South
ern Circuit. The Stanfills formerly
lived in Moultrie and his body is bur-
led in the cemetery here.

JURIST HITS COURTS,
CHURCHES, SCHOOLS

WOODLAND, n. c., Nov. IL
Judge Francis D. Winston. one of the
best known lawyers and jurists in
the state, assaulted the inefficiency Of
courts. the insincerity of churches and
appeals for the schools to increase
their thoroughness. during an address
delivered before high school patrons
and students here.
The recent enormous increase in
homicide in North Carolina and the
appointment Of n state council OF at
torneys and judges to devise means
to help the courts function, apparently
inspired his attacks.

CONVENE
Representatives to Meet at
Austin November 10 to
Form Organization.

AUSTIN, Nov. 14.-Representa-
tives from various campus churches
at the University of Texas will meet
for an INSTRUMENTATION conference
November 10, according to Harrison
Pollard Of Bay City. chairman of a
committee to arrange this meeting.
I'VE hope" said Mr.. Pollard, "to
form a permanent organization at
this first gathering. The main OBJ
ject of such an organization would be
TO promote the exchange of ideas and
successful methods, to promote re-
ligious unity among the various re-
ligious clubs, and to aid in the ex-
change of programs so that all the
groups can get the benefit of the best
things discovered in EACH"
Other plans which Pollard is for
mulating are for the different clubs
gather once a year for a mass meet
ing and another that Is minutes each
month be devoted in the various or
CARNATIONS to present some topic of
general interest simultaneously. 1t is
felt, Mr.. Pollard said, that a great
deal of good can be derived from more
concerted action on the part of the
campus young peoples organizations.
This first meeting will be held in
the Wesley Bible Chair of the Meth
odist Church. The Sunday Club of
the Episcopal Church, the Texas Bible
Chair Of the Christian Church, the
Christian Endeavor of the Presby-
terrain Church, and the Methodist Stu
dents Federation have already ex-
pressed themselves as being heartily
in favor Of the movement. The Bap-
fist Students Univn and the Fellow
ship Club Of the Congregational Club
will probably enter. Others have been
asked, but have not given their an

OPERA REVOLUTION
BEGUN IN MOSCOW

Greeks and Made Over
Works Featured,

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN. November 14.-Nothing
less than a revolution in grand opera
Is the purpose of the Moscow Musical
Studio. which is now in the midst of
season in Berlin. to be followed
by a tour of the continent and the
United States. Works by Merimee,
among the m0derns. and AriStophanes,
among the ancients, have been made
over with the idea of freeing opera
from its conventional bonds. Old
operas have been transformed into
new, melodramas into tragedies and
sentimental lbretos into works of po-
htiCal satire.
Vladimir NemirOwitsch Danschenko,
director Of the studio and one of the
founders of the Moscow Art Theater,
viii present several works intended
to illustrate his ideas on operate
reform Among them is new version
of Prosper Merimees Carmen,
which, though retaining the music
of BiZet, has been entirely meta
morphosed and is now entitled Car
mencita and the Soldier" Aristoph-
aneS' ancient Greek comedy, Isis
trata," is another work to be pro
duced in an operate setting with
music by Gliere. one of the most
famous of modern Russian COM
poSers, the score being based on the
Greek scale and arranged in Phrygian
and DOric leit-motifs.
Dantschenko has endeavored to
dramatiZe opera, as ii We're, to do
