"Hello-do you want Miss Bryce tc

He handed the phone to Chickie:

There came a ripping, high So

Bryce. Well have the maddest time.

Chickie felt warm and limp. With
out looking at Norp whitman, she
said: Miss Whitman told me to
bring a suit case. She says she may
need me a week."
"Well-all right-as long as she
wants you. I hope it won't interfere

She did this. She folded into pre-
else stacks the dainty things Jennie
had made for her. She moved slow
ly as one subdued and helpless.
When she strapped her suitcase
she said aloud: I'm crazy-getting
Mysteries over every little thing"
The chauffeur put her bags in the
car, helped her into the deep luxury
of the tonneau. They went flashing
through roads all golden with sun;
all splashed with flowers.
In spite of herself, Chickie's heart
| leaped. Such radiant color, such
roses and oh, such a Tilt in every
breeze.
She was touched by the beauty
and the wonder. She had suddenly
a feeling that life was opening in a
new glory-a sweetness. Even for
her. She clasped her hands. Sud
denly laughter rushed to her lips.

His eyes narrowed: why. Miss
Bryce?"
I'm rather tired"
He put his hand on hers, crushing
it sharply against the moist leaves.
"That's not true. You wish to avoid
me. You're persistent about it.
Why?"
An impetuous fire leaped in his
eyes; the willful mouth gripped. He
was very close; his voice low.
Chickie's breath ached. She wished
suddenly to say: Leave me alone
please Don't! press me about it.
Isn't it enough that I wish to be
alone?"
He went on hoarsely: do you dis
like me?"
"No-not at ALL"
"Why-then? What reason have
you for refusing so trifling a re-
quest?"
She raised her head and looked
quietly into his face. There was in
deed a thing pathetic in the youth,
the fervor and the passion of it.
Feeling her eyes, he smiled. He
pressed his hand harder on hers. He
said as he had before in a tone Of
awe. You're very beautiful"
She smiled. Don't tell me about
it, Mr.. Whitman. II you say things
like that, then I am not going to
stay here. 1 mean 1t. I really do. ="
He sat motionless. regarding her,
She tried to draw her hand care

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-06-27
BY Gilmore Meherim.

She sat down at the old, scratched
golden oak table. 1t had tan linen
cover; this cover was all knotty with
the ancient daisies embroidered on
it, Here, in a neat redwood box,
Chickie kept her letters. She
fingered them now-the caustic,
bold, contemptuous cheering that
Janina was forever offering.
80 you think you should wear a
label do you: You think you should
stand by the wayside and shout
sUnclean' to save the dear, pure souls
who might be contaminated by your
friendship What are you going to
save them from? From life? From
emotions?

maudlin rot I have nd mind to
drape myself in sack cloth and
ashes. And I haven't the impudence

may join the Salvation Army yet
and have my say.
But if I were you, Chickie, I'd
get both hands gripped hard on self
esteem. You know you can't hurt
ony one. You know there is no
evil in you.
You can only hurt few shabby
conventions. 1 think you have a
right to go on as you are. For the
love of heaven, don't get scrupulous
and go shouting your own affairs
to a world that is too sightless and
too imbecile to understand
Reading Janina's letter only
heightened her agitation. 1t was all
right for Janina to say this.
But Barbara Whitman would think
Chickie was just as young-just as
untried as she, herself She would
offer her bright friendship on this
basis.
Chickie answered this hotly: II
cant hurt her-L know that
Her thoughts went in scattered lit
tie whirlwinds. Why did Whitman
seem so anxious to have her go?
Could it be that he might care for
her? He might go to Winetka for
a visit while she was there. Sup
pose he did? Men had shown her
attentions before. They were not
hard to rebuff. Two or three re-
fusaIs, and they had allowed her to

ence.
All the arguments she mustered

She was taking dictation from

He turned to Chickie. I'm talking
to my daughter, Miss Bryce. You
know she met with an accident.
She's asking me to send some one
to attend to her letters. She spoke
of you. Will you get ready. I'll

WASTEFULNESS
CONDEMNED BY
PRINTERS HEAD
Lynch Makes Denunciation
of Statesmen in
Particular.

Wastefulness in American indus
trial and commercial life constitutes
one of the greatest obstacles in the
way of labor's aspirations. James
NJ. Lynch. president of the Inter
national Typographical Union, said
In a statement issued here to mem
bers today. The statement was
based upon findings Of an economic
investigation conducted by the
union.
Enormous waste in wealth and
manpower characterizes nearly
every line of American business
endeavor," said Lynch. 1.-The middle
man takes an unnecessarily heavy
toll from producer and consumer.
Cut Down Hours
IT think It may be boldly asserted
that four hour day of labor, GER
tainly not more than six hours,
would suffice to produce all the
manufactured things necessary to
human existence in this country.
and that with scientific methods ap-
piled to agriculture the farms would
yield sufficient food on the basis of
an average six-hour day to meet the
needs of humanity.
I'VE have come to speak of sales
manship almost with bated breath
as the great American art. yet as a
matter of fact intensive selling meth
dds are intrinsically wasteful and of
no real service to humanity.
That we are OVERRIDING this selling
business is a natural conclusion if
one but reflects upon the manner
in which statesmen are greeted in
the average office. They are not
wanted. They are looked upon as
a nuisance.
Little Value
From an ethical viewpoint any
talent. beyond knowledge of his
product, that a salesman employs
in his work must be of little value
to organized society, if not down
right dishonest. Certainly selling,
regarded as a profession, soon shades
off into polite swindling.
1T is not the intention to condemn
all statesmen. Some serve a really
useful social purpose, but the voca-
ton is overcrowded.
IF the unnecessary salesman, the
spenders, the wasters, the improvi-
dent heirs to fortune, the petty
criminals and other humans who
have never known work could be
induced to engage in useful endea-
vor, hours Of labor could be reduced,
working conditions improved and a
greater prosperity would be avail
able for ALL"

CHAPTER VI
In a New World

TT was two months since
IL Chickie had stood in the de-
pot that soft April night,
clinging to Jonathans arm, praying
with all her life that at the last mo-
ment they would hold her back. Two
months. The train has whistled; she
said to herself bewildered: Now
| have to go-oh, now"
Going away to forget; to be alone;
to bring in utter quiet to her heart.
She had done this; made no
friends; scarcely spoken; so that a
muteness held her lips and in the
gray, beautiful eyes was a poignant
sadness.
She came back in the evenings
from her walks with Wilde and,
standing at her window where the
far-off mountains doomed, she
smiled, Another day gone"' An
other breath between her and the
past. She wished that the years
would hurry-years and years
But now the grimness she had put
upon herself was broken. 1t was
the close of her first day with Bar
bara Whitman.
She still heard the laughing-!ler
own and Barbara s.; still felt, with a
glow in her veins, Barbara's hands
and lips. In a gay impulse the girl
had drawn her down, saying
you're just adorable! I declare,
you're the most bewitching thing
ever metz Well have gobe of fun"
She kissed Chickie, then.
Chickie dwelt in the memory as in
golden warmth. She walked out
on small balcony giving on great
court of flowers. The buds hung
heavy and dreaming in the moon
light. A beam of silver wavered
over the still surface of the pool.
The hush of the night murmured
like a prayer.
Chickie remembered another night
standing on such a balcony; she had
pressed her face against the roses,
trembling because of the great joy
that Numbered in her heart. Oh,
life was so sweet; so glad thing.
The world was just for her and for
him; only the two of them, loving
each other, rushing together on a
lighted tide.
That night was of a different life
| She would never feel so again; never
reach out ardent hands demanding
and demanding. No-she would
stand quietly, sensing the beauty,
drinking a peace from it.
She felt so tonight with melting
and a softness in her thoughts. Love
ly here; Barbara needed her. Bar
bara said 1t was just gorgeous of her
to come. So that was better than
bugging fast to a loneliness and
regret.
Get away from herself; talk gaily
make Barbara laugh. That was bet.
ter; that was Drawer.
For the first time in year
Chickie went to sleep with a touch
of gladness in her thoughts.
The days went quickly. They had
breakfast on a veranda and watched
white swans in a cleaning pool
They sat in the garden and read
Chickie combed Barbara's soft brown
hair; then Barbara manicuret
Chickie's nails. All the time they
talked
Barbara was full of talk. Sh,
