It wasn't supposed to be my assignment, but Groves Is tied up at city hall." • But can’t you ?" ‘I can’t do anything but stay h're.” Dan assured her. ’ I hate to disappoint you. honey, but I can’t help myself. Try to find some way j to amuse yourself and we ll makej up for it with a bang-up dinner | party tonight. Is that all right?" Reluctantly she told him it was. Phillips said something that brought; a quick smile to the girl’s face and then the conversation was over. Well—not only a long morning to herself, but the afternoon as well! j The newspaper in which she had Intended to search for apartment! addresses lay on the table, but suddenly Cherry's interest had waned j mum n.HE made up her mind to go i3 shopping instead. There was less than $lO in her purse, but all her life Cherry had made purchases on charge accounts. Besides, she simply had to have a dress. If she went to Maison Made- j laine, she knew they would be glad to open an account for her. She picked up purse and gloves and started for the door. On the way down in the elevator car, Cherry revised her plans. She remem- j bered Maison Madelaine was expensive. No, she would go to Stanley’s, the big department store. Miss Lacey in the French room always was so pleasant and helpful. Miss Lacey was equal to the emergency. She greeted Cherry effusively. Yes, she had seen the announcement of the marriage in the newspaper and thought it was romantic! An elopement of course. And what could she show the little bride today? Cherry had set out intending to be economical. A practical t woolen day dress was what she wanted. Something becoming of course but not fussy. Miss Lacey, beaming, whisked away to return with a frock of glowing spring green over her arm. Feather-weight to .ouch. Exactly right in size. The price was $65. "I’m afraid,” mumbled Cherry, “that's a little more than I wanted to pay.” • Miss Lacey’s brow lifted slightly. She said quickly that, of course, she had less expensive models. If Mrs. Phillips was interested in picking up a really remarkable bargain there was a little blue novelty mixture " When Cherry departed almost an hour later not only the blue novelty mixture, but a printed silk frock and a half a dozen dainty garments of flesh silk were being packed into a box to be delivered to the Bismark. The bill totaled $93.70. She stopped at a drug store to buy perfumed soap and a jar of the face cream she always used at home. Four dollars and fifty cents on the cashier’s check. Back in the hotel Cherry undressed, bathed and hurriedly made herself ready for dinner. It was after 5 when she heard a quick rap at the door. Cherry rushed forward, beaming. But it was not Dan Phillips at the other side of the door. CHAPTER XI CHERRY said "Oh—!” and then her voice dropped in disappointment. A bell boy In blue uniform stood at the door. He held a large pasteboard box bearing in heavy lettering the name, "The Stanley Company.” "Package-for you, Mrs. Phillips.” Cherry told him to put the box down and rummaged in her purse for a coin. The door clicked on the youth's retreating back. There were her purchases of the afternoon. Cherry considered the

i package doubtfully. Ninety-three | dollars and seventy cents spent for ; a few simple garments. Suddenly j she wished she had not gone shop- j Ping. It seemed a huge sum—s93.7o. Why, it was almost SIOO. In the store she had thought only that the dreises were becoming, that she wanted Dan to see how well she ; ( looked in them. Now she would have to tell him J how much they had cost. She wished . she had bought something for Dan instead of for herself. Here it was, the first day of her marriage, and she had spent almost the whole time buying two dresses. The dresses should have been taken out and hung away so they would not be wrinkled but, in her dissatisfaction, Cherry carried the box unopened to the clothes closet' and pushed It back in the shadows, j Then she straightened with a sigh j and returned to the window to wait I for Dan. She thought she might see him coming down the street, but half an hour later, when his key turned in the lock, the sound startled her. "Oh, Dan—l’m so glad you’ve come!” She flew into his arms. Dan's arms, so strong, so comforting. The touch of his cheek against her temple. Swift, reassuring kisses. Suddenly, the dreary, old-fash-ioned room might have been a palace. It might have been a moondrenched tropical garden or a silvery ship deck. Cherry knew only that where Dan was, she must be, and there she would be happy. Money, beautiful surroundings, pretty clothes, what did any of these matter? She looked up at him through shining, tear-spangled lashes. "Why, darling! What’s the matter?" “It’s—it's because I'm so happy, i Dan!" He crushed her close again In a quick embrace, laughing. "Is that the way you show it when you're happy—getting your eyes all red with tears? Someone will be saying Dan Phillips beats that beau- ; tiful young wife of his. or locks her up without anything to eat." “Say it again, dear!" j “Say what?" “I love to hear you call me your wife." m m m TENDER words, softly whispered. Precious, precious moments. They stole past swiftly until the orange glow faded above the ragged city skyline and dusk settled in the streets. “Was it a long day, Cherry? Were you lonesome?" “It doesn’t matter now. Everything's all right so long as you’re here again.” “What did you do this afternoon?" There it was! A cold hand seemed to settle over the girl’s heart. She didn’t want to remember the way she had spent the afternoon. Cheirv evaded: “Oh, I went out for a while and walked around. Then I came back to the hotel and read the paper and waited. I spent a lot of time getting ready for dinner—” “Ah, dinner! Reminds me I have a date with a certain young woman. If I keep her waitiing much longer she’ll probably swoon at my feet. “Get your bonnet. Cherry. I’ll just remove the surface grime from this battered old face and be ready in two seconds!” As they went through the door a little later Phillips remarked casually, "By the way, honey, I thought we’d go to the Wellington tonight but well, the fact is I intended to get a check cashed and then forget. * "Would you mind if we drop in at a little place I know over on Locust street? Nothing very fancy, but the food's o. k." She assured him she did not mind. Out on the street Cherry raised her head proudly. She wished the whole world could see her walking beside this tall young man who loved her and was so good to her. She wished above all else that her father and mother might see their daughter at that moment. Perhaps Dan read her thoughts. He took her arm as they crossed a street and the pressure of his fingers was more than solicitude. He 6aid in a low voice: “Not sorry about—anything, are you, kid?"

“I'm never going to be sorry about j anything again. Dan. Not ever!” "Neither am I!” Like happy children they laughed aloud. The astounding thing was that each of them really believed it. The "little place over on Locust street’ proved to be exactly as Dan had described it. It was not fancy in the least. The sign on the window’ read "Schroeder's Restaurant.” Charlie Schroeder, the proprietor, came forward to meet them. He greeted Dan cordially and led the way to a table in the rear of the long, narrow room. "It's a fine evening, Mr. Phillips. Great weather we re having these days. Takes people out of doors—makes them hungry. "You like this table? It's all right, yes? Now then, maybe you’ll have some of the pot roast and noodles —" • Schroeder was a short, fat man with florid cheeks and small eyes that seemed to crinkle with perpetual good humor. His manner was almost that of a host. He bowed and smiled at Cherry when Dan introduced her, then hastened to greet some newcomers. m m m THE restaurant was about halffilled. There seemed to be more men than women at the tables. The furniture was all of dark brown wood and there was a dark brown wainscoting half way up the walls. Celling lights cast a mellow glowover the room that had seemed dark when Cherry entered. As her eyes became accustomed to the dim light she found it restful. The tables had crisp white covers and no flowers. Waiters, carrying heavily laden trays, set down dishes that were thick and generous-sized. Dan glanced up from the menu

7TISODK BY BRUCE CATTON EVER since the first of all scientists came down from the mountains and started talking in four-bit words, the ordinary citizen has been storing up a lot of questions that he would like to ask if he only could get the scientist to listen to him. Usually he has to keep still, for ; scientists aren't always good listeners. But relief has come, at last, in the form of "Riddle of Science," a fat book in which Sir J. Arthur Thomson discusses about all of the questions (foolish and otherwise) which have been bothering us uninstructPd laymen. To be sure, not all of the questions are given definite answers. Yet that only indicates that the author knows his science—for science is* a lot less cocksure about things that we often suppose. In many cases it has to admit, “We don't really know,” and the writer of this book hasn't been afraid to make that admission wherever necessary. The questions discussed cover a wide range. How did life begin? What, for that matter, is life? Is evolution still going on? What is sex, and why? What are those hormones and chromosomes we hear so much about? Then there are the riddles of natural history: Why a cat’s fur stands up when a dog appears, how migrating birds find their way, what instinct is and how it works, and so on. And, just to show that he can be broadminded, Sir Arthur winds up by touching on such problems as telepathy, crystal-gazing, clairvoyance and the like. All in all, it’s an entertaining book. It is published by Liveright, and sells for $3.59.

TARZAN AND THE ANT MEN

With the idea in mind of capturing Tarzan for her mate, and knowing that, unless he succeeded in dodging past her and reaching the entrance, he could not escape her, The Third Woman moved very slowly toward the ape-man. Now, she ignored the other occupants of the stone room. Tarzan, not knowing her real purpose, thought she was about to attack him as a dangerous alient in the sacred precincts of her home. He viewed her enormous, muscular bulk and the bludgeon she was swinging and mentally compared them with his own defenseless nakedness.

card. "See anything you like?" he asked. "Yes, lots of things. HI have the roast lamb and broccoli—" Dan gave the orders, then leaned back comfortably. “Now then," he said, "I guess we'll eat. To tell the truth, I'm almost famished. Only had a sandwich at noon. That restaurant out at the airport doesn’t go in lor anything very elaborate." "Oh, tell me about It. Dan. Did those girl fliers finally get here?" Phillips shook his head in disgust. “No, after we hung around about three hours the word came that they’d had engine trouble and

To the jungle-bom, flight from uneven combat carries with it no stigma of cowardice. Not only was Tarzan of the Apes jungle-bom and jungle raised, but the stripping of his clothes away from him had now, as always before, also stripped away his thin veneer of civilization. It was, then, a savage beast that faced the oncoming Alalus woman—a cunning beast as well as a powerful one—a beast that when to fight and when to flee. Tarzan caA a quick glance behind him.

"This wasn’t much of a day.” he said. ‘Wait until something really happens! No, I didn't write much. Most of the stuff I telephoned." There was something that Cherry had forgotten. Now she spoke of it. "Did. you see the morning paper? I mean, what it said about us?" "Sure. Front page and everything. The News and the Sentinel both carried your picture. ‘Society

Beyond was the rear wall of the corral, one of the great stone slabs of which tilted slightly outward. Slow Is the mind and eye of man compared with that of the trapped beast seeking escape. So quick was the ape-man that he had gone before The Third Woman had guessed that he was considering flight. And with him had gone the eldest Alalus boy. Wheeling, all in a single motion, Tarzan had swung the young male to his shoulder, leaped swiftly to the corral's rear wall, and, cat-like, run up the smooth surface of the slightly tilted slab.

Still, she didn’t like to have Dan even suggest that there were differences in their social position. “ Yqu should have seen what that crazy gang at the office did." Dan went on. ‘ Bells and ribbons and dlly little dolls tied to my typewriter and desk. It was a sight! "There was a lot of kidding, of course. By the way, Cherry, you made a big hit last night.

Tarzan drew himself over without a single backward glance, and dropped the youth to the ground upon the opposite side. Then the npe-man jumped after him and looked about. For the first time he saw the natural amphitheater and the caves before which several woman-things were still squatting. The sun already was dropping over the hills, and it would soon be dark. He saw but a single avenue of escape—the opening at the lower end of the amphitheater through which the trail led down to the forest. Toward this he ran, followed by the boy.
