She got up lazily and followed
him. The trees laced about her long
slim form Chaffee's arm swept out
with a sudden violence and caught
Janina to him. They saw that.
Barry said with touch Of anger:
She'll ruin that fellows life. It's
darn shame"
"She had never a right to let him
come. He's only a kid. A girl
like that can do an awful lot Of
harm. She should be locked up!'
"Oh Barry! Iron.hand! But men
never have cared about hurting
girls"
Some OF them have. That's no
reason why she should go after a
boy like Chaffee. It's sordid."
For some strange reason his words
and his look caught through her
with a stab of gladuess. She muir
mured But If they should care
for each other?"
He had his head resting against
her arm He reached his hands to
her shoulder, laughing "Ah-that
makes a difference"
She let him draw her to him, exult-
ing that she no longer had any need
to stlffen herself against him. His
kisses closed her eyes with an awed
JOY.
I'M HIS sense Of release. Of free
dom thrilled and terrified her
- 1t came to her poignantly
that night when they were driving
home. They stopped on a quiet
road.
When he put his arm about her,
she moved gaily to him. His voice
vibrated. Il loved you from, the
start. Chickie. But you didn't"
She chose not to answer q
He persisted: Why do yc1 love
me? don't quite get it."
She Knocked; 'RSca%9se you're so
NO 1t must be because I'm
witty" ~
IT'S so = anyway - isn't that
enough?" &
And Unsigned to her that It rose
like a. flood, sweeping the two Of
them|together
At first 1t awed and frightened
her. She stood in her room that
nigm quiet, tingling from head to
fot. Wilde came shopping to the
door; bounded against her, his paws
on her shoulder
She Struggled his head against her
neck, laughed. She took his pointed
nose and shook it, saying with a
little gulp: Things amt the same
as they We're Wilde, you dear, hon
est thing. I'm going to change your
name. Because everything's changed
Every single thing. You tell that
to some one. Tell that to Jake"
ONDAY and MAN, days after
I'M that when she glanced across
I'll the alley; when she woQed
him from the shadow Of his d&k
she felt that something within her
flew down to him. When he pursed
his lips, laughing, it was a bright
silver bridge cast from his soul to
hers She wished to live only in
these thoughts.
Mary aroused her She dropped
in late one afternoon. Mary was
in the living room, the baby estab-
lished on a heavy comforter spread
out on the floor.
A big box-the salvage depart
ment-Mary called 1t, because each
summer and winter the discarded
hats worn by the Blake family were
stripped OF feather, ornaments, bits
Of ribbon, Innings, and these precious
savings slowed away for later use
Mary was now delving to the bot
tom of the treasure box seeking some
dashing fancy for a felt shape she
had bought. She put the hat on
her head, pulling 1t to a raklsh angle
and saying with pathetic humor to
Chickie: Madame Irenes creation.
Most becoming to dollan ninety
eight beautiesl Edward is dragging
me to a dinner. The manager and
his wife. Mary must do the elegant
act"
She added with a shrewd glance
at Chickie: Shall you like gentle
little recreations like this, CHECKER"
What do you mean?"
"Why-behold-t to look like
Lily the lady"
Chckie colored. Don't get you,
Mary"
But Jimmy does, ole thing! So
it's the Redhead! Well-Id be the
last person to yell; Stop, look and
listen but just the same"
"Oh, save your fears, Mary. I've
years and years before me-"
But you've turned Jake down?
He doesn't come any more"
