REGIV HHR TODAV . CHERRY DIXON. 19 and pretty, fall* In love with DAN PHILMPS, newspaper reporter whom her wealthy, aristocratic parents have forbidden her to see. When Cherry learns Dan's telephone message* have been kept from her ahe steals out of the house to meet him. Her father discovers this and threatens to send her to California. Cherry elefles him and he orders her to leave. She goes to Dan. tells him what has happened and asks him to marry her. The ceremony Is performed that night by a Justice of the peace. Nest day Cherry, who has only the dress she Is wearing, goes shopping. She opens a charge account, makes purchases that total $93.70. and then Is ashamed to tell Dan of her extravagance. •Her maid comes to see her next morning nd promises to send Cherry's clothes Cherry returns her purchases to the store. She sets out to And an apartment but is discouraged to find those •he looks at so expensive. While she is waiting for Dan the telephone rings. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER FOURTEEN DAN'S voice came to her over the wire. “Hello, Cherry. Say, I don't know when I'm going to be able to get away from here. You'd better go out for dinner without waiting on me. Thought I'd better tell you ” “Oh, Dan!’’ Cherry’s disappointment was obvious. “I’m sorry, dear. Make it just soon as I can. What kind of a day did you have? Any luck with those apartments? Did you find anything you liked?” Dans tone was cheerful, casual. Cherry, after her wearying, disappointing day was suddenly swept by loneliness. She must see Dan. If be couldn’t come to her she would go to him. "Where are you?” she asked eagerly. "I don't mind about dinber. I m not hungry, but it’s lonely here. Let me come and stay with ;you until you finish your work.” “But you can’t, Cherry!” , “Please!” "I'm sorry, but it's impossible, ft's simply—well, it’s just out of the Question. I’ll get there as soon as I can. but, don't wait for me. I may be tied up for three or four hours get.” The whole day had gone wrong for Cherry. She was weary and bewildered and frightened by what |he had learned of the way living dosts can gobble money. Now tollman to disappoint her was the last straw! Suddenly she was like a rurt and petulant child. ‘ Why can’t I come?” she de-

THEY TILL

REPUBLICAN convention side glances: The former high Marion county bfflcial who went from stall to stall in the Governor paddock on the eighth floor of the Claypool and assured each aspirant in a whisper, tyith an arm around his shoulder, that “I am out lining them up for you.” When a badge was proffered, he \vould say: ‘‘l can do better work without it —sort of quiet like, you know’.” And the joke is that he is neither it delegate nor has he a proxy! u tt The delegate from Delaware bounty (Muncie) who, when asked fcy a brother delegate in the elevator if he wanted a drink, answered quite audibly: “No. You know what they did to Mayor George Dale on a charge of taking a drink at the 1930 Democratic convention, don’t you?” Which seemed to be enough said. Incidentally, the Republican Delaware county delegate was assigned to room which was used by the Democrats from that county in 1930. And, in emphasis, it was amusing to see how deputy district attorneys Alex Cavins and Telford Orbison Squirmed when some of the boys teased them with the questions regarding Federal indictment for Chunking at this Republican convention. They didn’t seem to like this form &f kidding, for some reason or other. nun Then there was the big, tall, husJcy Negro delegate who confided in h rumbling whisper to a Coffin-Bush .worker that “They done a Terre Haute boy sls for his proxy, put, he’s x holding out for $25.” Incidentally, for the benefit of those interested in the market price

jmanded. ’Why won't let me? And I don’t see any reason why you should have to keep on working. It’s alI most 6 o’clock— ’ “Cherry! Don't you understand? ; I’m tied up on a story. A big one. I can't tell you about it now, honey, but this is going to be real news when it breaks. I’ve got to keep on the job—” “But where are you?” “Down at the union station.” “Why, Dan, why couldn't I comc down there? I supposed it was some place a long way ofl! Listen, I don’t care what you say, I'm coming!’ "Now, Cherry! Please—will you let me explain? You can’t come down here. Something may happen —well. I mean we think it will and if it does you wouldn't be safe. You'll have to wait until I get there.” "How could anything happen at the station? "Why, there are policemen, lots of them. And so many people. I'm not afraid. I'm coming and we can have dinner there.” a a a DANS voice rase dramatically. "You’re not to come!” he insisted. "I can’t stand here talking any longer, but you're not to come. Do you understand?” He hesitated, then went on with a sort of hushed breathlessness. “Here’s what we re expecting. Bates got an absolutely straight tip this afternoon that Tony Toscalli—you know, the big New York gang leader —is getting into Wellington tonight. He's coming on a train. "If he does, McAllister's going to j arrest him on a suspicious person 1 charge. I'm here with Mac now. j We don’t know what train Toscalli’s | on so we have to wait. He'll have' a bunch of gorillas with him of course. “The swell part is the tip is absolutely exclusive. I’ve got a photopgrapher and the minute that train gets in we’ll mop up the w'holc thing. Splash it all over an extra! Boy, what a story!” Cherry’s petulance was gone, j "But. Dan,” she cried, “I’m afraid ; for you. If anything should hapI pen !”

on proxies, the bid at midnight reached $25. whereupon the ask went up to S4O. Who made that crack about conventions being cleaner than primaries? n tt tt The best piece of kidding pulled off was by the Vanderburg county delegation, which put its veteran former county chairman Phil Gould in bed with a headache. The boys in the delegation told Phil that the Eighth district was without a candidate and they thought that he should run for auditor. Phil, who always is shying from taking a position that will put him up to be shot at, vociferously denied any such ambition. The more he pleaded, the more insistent the delegates became that he should become a candidate. Finally, someone shouted, “if it’s money that’s bothering you, why I’ll put up SSO of the ante.” The others caught on and soon there was enough contributed (vocally) to have staked a whole flock of candidates. Finding that his pleadings apparently fell on deaf ears, Phil took to bed, too sick to see any one. He didn’t know this morning that it was all a joke. And we must not forget the whisperers, mostly women, who gathered in huddles, to tell all about the alleged “love life” (if that’s what you call it) of some of the candidates. The more scurrilous, the more it was relished, and it appears very much as if this type of campaigning. inaugurated under the aegis of the not forgotten, although gone from Indiana, Vivian Wheatcraft, has not lost its effectiveness. Oh. well, girls will be girls and candidates will be weak.

He scoffed at the idea. “There’s nothing to worry about;” he assured Yttr. “Not in the least. I'm keeping close to my personal bodyguard, safe as a bug in a rug. “Now promise me, honey, that you’ll do as I want you to. Bea good girl and go out and have dinner, See a movie, maybe. It's the 8:15 w-e’re watching especially, but he may come later, and anyhow, I’ll be tied up at the office for a while. Well, will you promise?” “Y-yes. But I’ll be worried every minute!” Dan's laugh rang in Cherry's ears as she put down the telephone. The girl was not smiling. So this w r as what it meant to be a newspaper man’s wife. To know your husband might be in the path of a gunman's bullet and be powerless to interfere. To wait helplessly w T hile the one you loved most in ail the world was risking unknown dangers. Oh, how could she bear it! How could she wait here alone when at any minute something terrible might be happening to Dan? He had admitted it would be unsafe for her. Tony Toscalli! Even Cherry knew Toscalli was considered the most dangerous and powerful criminal in the United States. Public enemy No. 1. That was what they called him. "Gorillas,” Dan had said. What did he mean by that. Os course Tony Toscalli would not be arrested without resistance. Cherry visioned the scene. A dozen burly criminals with their leader in their midst entering the station. The objecting officers. A sudden rain of bullets and the terrified shrieks of women and children. Innocent victims falling. Cherry saw it all as in a motion picture. She saw Dan lying pale and lifeless—“l mustn’t go on this way!” the girl told herself. “Os course he’ll

7T503K ~A~DAY" BY BRUCi CATTQN

Blount marvel came to Washington as a representative from a southern state equipped with a big black hat, an old-fash-ioned tail coat, a gift for florid oratory—and a very smart wife. A matter of five years later he was a famous senator, a power in the national government and a man who might, without presuming too greatly, dream of some day occupying the White House. The hat and coat helped, for they got him into the rotogravure pictures, and the oratory had helped a little too; but his wife, Leda, had helped most of all. And he never had the remotest notion that he owed her a thing. All this is the skeleton of Berthe K. Mellett’s novel, “Wife to Caesar,” This book not only presents an absorbing “inside” picture of life in official Washington, but also stands squarely on its own feet as an interesting, competently written narrative. Mrs. Mellett, to begin with, knows her Washington and knows how to describe it. She discusses everything from the social lobby to the parties that get thrown in the embassies, and makes you understand it. Better yet, she knows how to write a novel. Her sub-plot—the love affair between Leda Blount and Garry Clune, whose too-rigid code of honor robbed him and other people of happiness—is handled with skill and understanding. And Blount Marvel, pompods, well-meaning and stupid, is a character you’ll not soon forget. “Wife to Caesar," in short, is very much worth reading. It is published by Brewer, Warren & Putnam, Inc., and is priced at $2.

TARZAN AND THE ANT MEN

The sun beating down upon the hot corral of The First Woman, after the escape of Tarzan from the brutish she-things, found it deserted of life. Only the body of the Alalus youth, slain by his brother the previous night, lay where it had fallen. Now when The First Woman had stripped Tarzans unconscious body of its clothes, she left unnoticed, or unwanted, the diamond-studded golden locket, hanging by its golden chain about the apeman's neck which, being his mother’s, he always wore. This had been stolen from him as he lay in the corral, by the youth now sprawled lifeless. >

I’ll do as Dan said—go out and have dinner and maybe he'll be here when I get back.” man 'T'O put this resolution into pracX tice Cherry crossed the room and snapped on the dressing 4able light. It was almost 6:30. The face that looked back at her from the mirror was pale and the dark eyes were shadowed by circles. Cherry was wearing the dress she

had put on that morning. It was rumpled and altogether she was anything but the picture of a happy bride. “Dan mustn’t see me like this,” Cherry thought. “I can’t go out looking such a fright!” She drew cold water and bathed her eyes. Then she took a quick shower, finishing with the water coming down like icy needles. Wrapped in a rose dressing gown she sat before the mirror and applied fragrant face cream and powder that left her skin like warm ivory. A touch of lipstick, the dark curls brushed and tucked into place,

A speck appeared in the sky. Larger it grew until it became a great bird gliding easily upon motionless wings. Nearer and nearer it came, until it swung in great, slow circles above the corral of The First Woman. Once again it circled, then dropped to earth within the inclosure. It was Ska, the vulture, soon followed by others of his kind. When they had left, entangled about the neck of one of the immense birds was a golden chain from which depended a diamond encrusted locket.

and then she was ready for her frock. She was preoccupied and chose the green one she had worn the night before. No matter how often she reassured herself, no matter how she tried to put her mind on other things, Cherry was worried. When she was ready to go, she stopped long enough to write a note for Dan in case he should arrive while she was away. It read: “Gone to the Maple Leaf tearoom. Be back a little after 8.” She propped this against the pin cushion on the dressing table. Then

Ska fought the bauble that hung annoyingly beneath him when he fled and impeded his progress when he walked upon the ground. But it was looped twice about his neck and he was unable to dislodge it. So he winged away across the Great Thom Forest, the bright gems gleaming and scintillating in the Sun. . . . Tarzan, after eluding the women that had chased him and the Alalus youth into the forest, halted in the tree beneath which the son of The First Woman had come to a terrified pause.

she went downstairs and into the street. The Maple Leaf t< *room was two blocks away. Cherry had noticed it several times as she passed. It looked attractive and for some reason she did not want to go alone to the restaurant where she and Dan usually dined. There were several vacant table's at the Maple Leaf. Cherry selected one at the side of the room with places laid for two. She glanced at the menu and told the waitress to bring the 75-cent special dinner. It would be all right and would probably be served more quickly

Reaching quickly down, Tarzan seized the youth by the hair and dragged him to safety just as the lion’s raking talons embraced thin air beneath the feet of the Alalus boy. The following day the ape-man concerned himself seriously in the hunt for food, weapons and apparel. Naked and unarmed as he was, it might have gone hard with him if he had been other than Tarzan of the Apes. Fruit and nuts he found, and birds’ eggs, but Tarzan craved meat. This he hunted hourly, not only for food, bus for the things he could make out of the skin and tendons.

than anything else. She could eat and hurry back to wait for Dan. A picture of Tony Toscalli seen in a newspaper photogravure section flashed into Cherry’s mind. .“Maybe he’s not really so wicked,” she argued with herself. “And maybe he won’t come!" The last was a really cheering thought. On the strength of It. Cherry attacked the rather tasteless. mildly warm croquette that had been set before her. She sampled the creamed peas and found them more appetizing. “How do you do!” (To Be Continued)
