NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER THREE ( Continued) Twice Dan’s eyes left the road to catch side-long glimpses of the girl's white face. Each time he increased the roadster's speed. Ten minutes later he was ushering her Into a physician's office. “It's her left arm.’’ he told the doctor. “Gun went off accidentally. We tried to stop the bleeding with a tourniquet.” man FOR another ten minutes there was activity—tense and efficient —in the small office. Cherry’ courage forsook her as the wound was probed and cleansed. The bullet had torn the flash of her upper arm in an ugly, jagged line, but had not lodged there. Weak from fright and from loss of blood. Cherry clung to Dan’s hand while the doctor sewed the torn skin in place. “A quarter of an inch deeper and this would have been serious.” the physician told them. His name was Dr. Ryland and. according to the framed diploma from medical school which hung on the wall, he had been practicing less than four years. "The bullet barely missed an artery. Your tourniquet was a splendid idea. It might have saved her life.” “How's that now?” he went on, addressing the girl, “is it too tight?” “It’s all right.” Already the arm was less painful. but in consternation Cherry watched Dr. Ryland apply the last bit of bandaging. They had cut

THEY TELL ME'' JLf

French lick springs hotel, May 28..—Dcmorcatic editors and managers, feeling that all is over in the Governor nomination race except the shouting, turned their attention to the senatorial situation in their conferences here. Although there are four contenders for this nomination, only three seem to be receiving any mention. They are Frederick Van Nuys, former district attorney and former state chairman; Walter Myers, speaker of the 1931 house and the nominee for mayor in 1925, both of Indianapolis, and Lew O'Bannon, Corydon, publisher and 1924 nominee for Lieutenant-Governor. The fourth man is Bernard Shively of Marion, former state senator, who was co-author of the ShivelySpencer act, establishing the public service commission, and whose campaign in the main has been directed toward the utility issue. Van Nuys and Myers seem to hold the center of the stage, while interest in O'Bannon is concentrated on the question of where he will attempt to throw the Eighth district vote pledged to him if he decides not to go, or sees during the balloting that his chances are mighty slim. mm* The two Indianapolis aspirants have been battling it out over the state, and while Myers has been striking for the industrial centers, basing his main campaign on his stand against prohibition. Van Nuys has been seeking the support of T he rural sections. He took away part of his oppo-

away the sleeve of heT sweater. The new beige skirt was soiled and spotted and so was her coat. For the first time Cherry thought of going home. Her mother—her father —how on earth could she face them? A moan escaped her lips “I thought you said it didn't hurt so much?” It was Phillips speaking. She tried to smile. “It doesn’t.” “Then what's the matter?” ‘Nothing,” she told him. ‘Just —nothing.” The bandage was finished and Dr. Ryland stood back. ‘lt will be painful,” he told the girl, “but I don’t think you’re going to have any trouble with it. “The dressing will need to be changed. What you need now is quiet. Lots of rest ” He talked on until Phillips interrupted. "Listen, doc,” he said, “could I ULe your phone for a minte?” Dan picked up the instrument, gave a number. “City desk,’’ he said brusquely, and then a moment later, “Bates? This is Phillips. Say, I’ve Just been talking to Inez Malloy. Gave me a good story. Shall I—WHAT? What did you say ?” Both of the listeners turned. There was something in Dan’s question that was electrifying. Spellbound, they watched and seemed to see the youth's whole body go limp. “No!” he exclaimed. “Oh, my God—no!” The words were not a denial, not even disbelief. Slowly he turned and set dow’n the instrument. CHAPTER FOUR “’ITTHAT is it, Dan?” Cherry Tv demanded. “What’s happened?” “Oh, nothing much. Bates says the Sentinel's found Inez Malloy. Already have an extra out.” “Then what are you to do?” Phillips’ smile was not mirthful. “The boss gave me some instructions,” he said, “but, lady, I wouldn’t spoil your pretty pink ears by repeating ’em! I’m not very popular right now with Hiram J. .Bates. Well, shall we push along?” He extracted a wallet from his pocket and handed Dr. Ryland a bill. A moment later Cherry and Phillips were out on the street. The sunshine had disappeared and the wind was sharper. The girl drew

nent's fire with a referendum speech, and has been helped a great deal by the vocal and literary support of Albert Stump, 1926-1928 Democratic senatorial nominee, bitterly opposed to Myers. It goes back to 1928, when the house speaker sopght to wrest the senatorial nomination from Stump in a bitter campaign, they tell me. If O'Bannon’s pledges w'ill stick in the Eighth, he can be said to control at least 150 of the 154 deledates there. Shively. It is said, will obtain at least a complimentary vote from the Fifth district on the first ballot, which means 127 votes. After this ballot, the delegates are expected to break and scatter. B B B Both Van Nuys and Myers have been angling for the Eighth district, in event that O'Bannon decides to give up the ship. Myers has been claiming Vanderburg county’s 54 votes hands down, but he may get a little surprise, according to the dope. It is said that Val Nolan, Evansville city attorney, has been in correspondence with Van Nuys and may take a large number of delegates to him. The house Speaker also is counting heavily upon American Legion support, because of his activity as a member, but if what is told is true, the ex-service men care only for the nomination of Paul V. McNutt for Oovernor, and are saying two legionnaires at the head of the ticket is too much and may peeve the old guard. The Democratic senatorial fight is a tight affair. But if the dope heard here is correct, Van Nuys steadily is gaining ground. •

her coat about her closely when she was seated in the roadster. Once more Phillips took the wheel. The engine purred faultlessly. Neither of them thought of the beige purse Cherry had dropped in the Taylor avenue apartment. “Must be getting late,” Phillips said. He stole a quick glance at his wnst watch and reported, “Ten after 4.” A little gasp came from the girl. “Ten after 4,” she repeated. “Why I ’didn’t dream—’’ Phillips glanced at her. “Guess they'll be wondering at your home what's happened to you.” “Oh, no,” she assured him in a faint voice. “They’ll—they'll know I'm all right.” “Yes?" The young man’s voice was taunting. "All right, are you? With a bullet hole in one arm and about a mile of bandage wrapped around it. Oh, yes, you're all right’! Honestly, Cherry, I’ll never forgive myself for getting you into this!” “But you didn’t! It was my fault, Dan, every bit of it.” “Oh, no, it wasn't. How I could be so senseless as to take you into a place like that! Ought to have my head examined.” “Don’t talk that way, Dan! I know I’m to blame. You told me to stay in the car and I didn't do it. You said to wait for you. but it seemed such a long time and I was afraid something had happened! That’s why I went inside. “Then I didn't know where you were or how to find you and I ran up some stairs. That's about all I remember. Oh, it was foolish of me! I should have waited as you said. “It was my fault I was hurt and it’s my fault you didn’t get your story on time—before the Sentinel got it. That’s why that man—Bates —was angry, isn't it? I know it’s all my fault —!”

2ZKDK " A DAY " BY BRUCE CATTQN WHEN you look back at It, the motto of the average big city during the recent years of high prosperity seems to have been j "anything goes." Money was easy, and everybody was out to get his. There was graft in politics and there was funny business in the marts of trade. Private and public morality descended as stock market prices went up. A picture of all of this is contained in the novel, “Babylon on the Hudson,” by an anonymous author. This writer studies the turbulence of the boom period and the chaotic turmoil of the depression by following the fortunes of the three children of a moderately wealthy New York merchant. They are two brothers and a sisI ter, and when the merchant dies I an aging lawyer is left to look afI ter them; and It is largely through his eyes that the action is seen. It makes a queer picture. Most of the recent municipal scandals in New York are dragged in, thinly disguised. Racketeers, crooked politicians, unscrupulous financiers and shady lawyers chase one another across the pages in a dismaying procession. Reading, you get the impression of a society grown utterly corrupt, utterly rotten, ready to disintegrate at the first serious shock. “Babylon on the Hudson*' could have been edited to good advantage. It is wordy, full of musky philosophizing, confusing, over-involved; and Its "revelations,” after all, hardly will surprise anyone who has been reading current newspapers and magazines. It is published by Harper and Brothers, and sells for $2.50.

TARZAN AND THE ANT MEN

A number of other women-thinga now appeared at various cave mouths. All seemed to be watching and listening. A moment later their vigil was rewarded as another of their kind appeared in the entrance to the amphitheater. A huge creature, this, even broader and heavier than the one who had captured Tarzan. Upon one shoulder she carried the carcass of an antelope. Upon the other was a body that seemed half human and half beast. It hung by its middle across the woman’s barf shoulder, arms and legs dangling weakly before and behind, weakly with fear.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

THE dark eyes, raised to Phillips’, I were pleadingly in earnest. "Now wait a minute! No use going on that way. Who practically kidnaped you, car and all. and told you to drive to that God-forsaken place? Yes, ma'am, little Daniel! “If it hadn't been for my crackbrained idiocy where would you have spent the afternoon? Taking a pleasant spin in the sunshine out on Stewart road. No—you can't get away from it, Cherry. I’m to blame few everything that happened. "I wish to God there was some-

I mean will it make trouble?" He scoffed at the suggestion. “Bates blows up and gets over it in a second,” he assured her. “I’ve ; heard him do it a million times! Probably he's forgotten the whole thing now.” Dan was convincing; more so than

The woman who had brought Tarzan to the amphitheater rose and stood before the entrance of her cave. We shall call her The First Woman, for she had no name nor had any of her fellows. The creature who had attempted to steal the ape-man from her had now recovered from the blow by which The First Woman felled her, and seemed to bear no malice toward the victor. We shall call her The Second Woman. The two fixed their • eves upon the approaching newcomer, their e*Ts up-pricked, and all the other womanthings in sight did likewise.

be would have been to persons acquainted with Hiram J. Bates and his manner toward employes. They had driven steadily westward and were turning into Twelfth street. The going was slower now. The huge clock before Matthews’ jewelry store gave the time as 4:30. Cherry wondered for the hundredth time what she was to say when she reached home. The bandage on her arm—the ruined suit. Her mother would be difficult to deal with, but—her father! Cherry

The Third Woman moved steadily along with her burden, her watchful eye* ever upon the menacing figures of her fellow*. She was very large, so for a while the others only stood and glared at her. But presently the First Woman took a step forward and signaled The Second woman. The Third Woman quickened her pace, for she understood what was coming, though no sound had issued from their savage lips. As the two approached her. she dropped her spoils in a heap, gripped her cudgel more firmly and prepared to defend her rights. ThAthen, brandishing their own wtapons, chargeffher.

closed her eyes, trying to shut out the thought. Now they had reached the bridge, were crossing it. “Dan,” the girl asked suddenly, “where are you going?” “Going to take you home.” “But you can’t do that, Dan! Oh, you can’t!” “Why not?” She tried in confusion to explain. How could she say that appearing in the company of a strange young man would be as grave a sin in

Cherry made feeble efforts, floundering for words until Dan stopped her. “Now, listen.” he said firmly, “I got you into this thing and I’m going to get you out. Think I’d let you go home alone?

As the three came together, it seemed that The Third Woman would go down beneath the oludgeons of the others: but she warded off both blows with the skill and celerity of a trained fencer. Stepping quickly into the opening she had made, she dealt The First Woman a terrific blow upon the head that stretched her motionless. Then The Third Woman turned her attention to The Second Woman, who, seeing the fate of her companion, ran for her own cave; meanwhile the creature The Third Woman had been carrying, seeing a chance for escape during the fight, was crawling stealthily away In the opposes direction.
