Next evenlna when she meets him he Intimates be ha* lost his lob NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER FIFTEEN “Sorry to be late,” Dan began. 'The boss called me in.” “Oh, Dan—?” Her eyes darkened with the unspoken question. Phillips nodded. “Yes,” he said harshly. “You’ve guessed it!” CHAPTER SIXTEEN DAN’S eyes met the girl’s. They were smoldering and resentful. “It's what you think,” he went on. “Bates is sore as the devil about that Toscalli business. Did you see the Sentinel?” ‘‘But, Dan, you're not ?” “Fired? Well, not quite. One more chance, Bates said. Oh, he said plenty more besides! Reminded me that I fell down on the Inez Mallory story. Reminded me of everything else that’s gone wrong in the last six months. And here I was counting on a raise!” “But it wasn’t your fault.” "Yeah? Try and tell that to Hiram J. Bates! If you haven’t seen the Sentinel, you don’t know the worst. They carried a story that Toscalli was here last night. “With the chief waiting to arrest him at the station Tony is supposed to have breezed in in a high-pow-ered roadster, had dinner at a restaurant, called on a couple of friends and then beat it. Or so the Sentinel say*. It’s one of those vague stories. “No one quoted directly and nothing you can pin down to facts, but is the chief sore! And is Bates burning up!” Cherry's face had gone white. She said, “It wasn’t your fault, Dan. You know that. It’s because of what I told Garth Hendricks ” "There's no use saying that and fthere’s no use even thinking it. You’ve no proof Hendricks spilled the tip. Anyhow, the thing’s done find that’s all there is to it.” “I could tell Mr. Bates it was my fault.” Phillips looked his horror. "For Lord sake, no!” he exclaimed. “Then I would be out of a job! I’ve told you, Cherry, the only thing to do is forget the whole matter. I’ll have to watch my step for a while. “Os course, fc, isn’t very pleasant to take a bawling out like the one I just got—especially after working half the night.” “It’s not right, Dan. It isn’t fair.” Dan laughed ruefully. "Neither are lot of other things that happen, but there’s nothing anybody can do about them. Well—what say we eat?” They walked down the street in silence. The crowds of office workers hurying to board cars and busses had thinned. It was a spring evening as fresh and invigorating as any of the season, but for Dan and Cherry the magic was lost. Both .were preoccupied. * m m PRESENTLY Dan remembered something. "Dixie Shannon tried to call you this morning,’* he said. "Told me that if you haven’t found a place to live she knows of an apartment we could get. “It’s in the building where Dixie lives. People leaving town want to sublease. Dixie said she’d go out with you to look at it If you **ant her to.” "Oh, I would like that! I’ve had such a time all day. Everything 3’ve seen is ugly and dark and they charge so much! Where is the apartment?” >■ “Somewhere around Kensington Circle. I think. Dixie says she likes the place.” “.When can she go with me?” “You might call her tonight and find out. Her name's in the phone book. Tell you what let's go, kid. After dinner, suppose we go on a regular spree and see a movie. Would you like that?” Cherry would like anything at all

that suited Dan. She was feeling repentant. She told him nothing would pleas> her so much that evening as to see a movie. At 12 o'clock next day Cherry met Dixie Shannon at a Twelfth street drug store. They had sandwiches and malted milks, sitting on high stools before the marble-topped counter. i Dixie was wearing a green hat again—not the one she had worn [ the night of the wedding, but a tiny ! green straw with a short scarlet feather tucked into the crown. The : hat was tipped at an outrageous angle. It was too bright and yet somehow it suited Dixie. * “Like the bonnet?” she demanded almost as soon as their first greetings were over. “Three ninety-eight in Daily’s basement-if you’re interested.” Dixie always did her shopping at bargain counters and was perfectly frank about, it. "It’s very becoming,” Cherry said. I'd never dream it cost so little.” “They had some others. You can get one if you want to. I won’t mind.” She interrupted herself to remind the soda fountain clerk that she liked plenty of cinnamon in the j malted milk. Then she continued: "Just came from a preview at the Capitol. Ronald Colman’s new picture. And is he a wow! They’re going to show it next week and, my dear, wait till you see it! I’ll get you passes—” Dixie’s voice bubbled on. She talked of motion pictures, of the office, of a party she had attended the night before. Cherry thought that you could not help liking Dixie, even though her chatter might grow monotonous. She was so friendly and obviously sincere. Already Dixie was calling Cherry by her first name and expected Cherry to do the same. “About this apartment,” Dixie began suddenly. "You can get it at a bargain, I’m sure. It belongs to Clarice Clark and her husband. Clarice does advertising and Johnny's an artist. “A while ago he won a scholarship in Boston. They didn't think they could afford to take it, but now' Clarice has been offered a job and they’re terribly anxious to go. They have the apartment on a two-year lease. "If they rent it unfurnished, they’ll have to store their things. I was thinking that if you want to you might arrange to keep the place just the way it is, furniture and all. "I think Clarice would be glad to let you have it, because it really would be cheaper for them. She isn’t at home, but the janitor will let us in.” "When can I see it?” Cherry wanted to know. "Any time. As soon as we finish lunch, if you want to.” u tt n 'T'HEY paid the checks and departed. It was a fifteen-minute ride by street car to Kensington Circle and only a block farther to the apartment address. The neighborhood was new to Cherry. The buildings on either side of the narrow street were old residences that must have been imposing in their day. They were set close together and each house looked almost exactly like the next. Dixie had a key and let them in to the entrance hall. She rang and within a few minutes the janitor shambled up some steps. "Yes, Miss Shannon. You want to see the second floor rear? The Clarks’ place?” Dixie said that was right. She introduced the janitor, w'hose name was Bergman. He said, “Pleased - t-meet-yuh” to Cherry and led the way up the long flight of stairs to the "second floor rear.” "This is a nice place,” he said as he unlocked the door. "Those Clarks have got it fixed up fine.” The room they entered was large. Cherry’s first impression was of creamy walls, dark floors and abundant cheerful colors. There were two windows on the east through which the mid-day sun shone. “Why, it is nice!” she said eagerly, stepping forward. “What pretty curtains —and a window seat. I like that!” It was a comfortable looking room. A low couch piled with pillows stood against one wall. There were three large easy chairs, plainly showing their age. Several small

tables.and an upholstered footstool. The gate-leg table near the window had the leaves lowered and was covered with a piece of Chinese embroidery. In the center of the north wail a colorful square of woven woolen stuff had been ! pinned. Several black and white drawings and tw<j smaller ones in oil decorated the dfher walls. "Clarice and Johnny hunted around auctions and second-hand places for most of this furniture.” Dixie explained. “Some of the things Johnny made. That couch there and the book shelves. He made those. The kitchen’s over here ” % „ HUM THE kitchen, such as it was, was behind a door Dixie pulled open. Originally it had been nothing more than a large clothes closet. There was a two-burner gas stove with an oven, an ice chest and miniature sink, two rows of shelves bordpred with scalloped oil cloth and piled with dishes and cooking utensils. There was no window and no light except that from an electric drop lamp. -There was a bathroom that also had been designed for some other purpose. Its old-fashioned white tub was nothing like the shining rose and silver bath of the dressing room that had been Cherry’s in her father’s home. Checked blue linoleum covered the floor instead of handsome black and gray tile. “Where’s the bedroom?’ Cherry asked. “Oh, there isn’t any. You see the couch folds open. With that chest of drawers and this closet, you have plenty of room for clothes. None of the apartments in this house have bedrooms.” It would be anew way of living, 7TSCPK A DAT BY BRUCE CATTON IGNORANCE, filth, darkness and cruelty marked the Russia of the late seventeenth century. An oriental czar ruled in the Kremlin, and a ring of greedy nobles ground the luckless peasants into the dirt. Compared with the rest of Europe, Russia was sunk deep in a hopeless barbarism. And then along came a boyish czar who liked to play with soldiers, but who had the saving grace of being willing to learn; and he pitched in to bring his great, indolent country up to date. All of this is described in “Peter j the Great,” by Alexei Tolstoi, a book ! partly biography and partly fiction, and which probably best can be described as a historical novel. The first part of the book is the most forceful. In it there is a clear picture of the strange, crazy mess into which affairs at Moscow had got; the turmoil of stupidity, terror and fitful rage which possessed all Russian society. There is, also, a good description of the slow development of Peter; how he began by maintaining a “play army” on the palace grounds, how he made friends with the foreign merchants in Moscow and learned from them how backward his country really was, how he toured Europe, working in shipyards and factories to school himself, and how he finally returned to begin a job of remodeling which makes Stalin’s Five-Year Plan look simple. But the book ends too abruptly. The author bring*- you to his climax —and then quits on you. Maybe that’s all right, if you’re familiar with Russian history. If, like me, you aren’t, it’s disconcerting. In the main, though, you’ll find “Peter the Great” worth reading. It is published by Covici, Friede, Inc., and sells for $3.

TARZAN AND THE ANT MEN

Occasionally one of the antelopes looked up, though with no signs of the terror that would at once have followed had they known the lion was near. Why had not their sensitive nostrils caught the scent of their arch-enemy before it had reached the ape-man? It was certainly odd. Tarzan concluded that one of those freaks of the air currents that so often leaves a motionless pocket of air directly in the path of the flow had momentarily surrounded the antelope, Insulating them, as it were, from their immediate surroundings*

but the big room with the window seat and home-like furnishings had won Cherry's heart. "This is the nicest place I’ve seen,” she said. “If Dan likes and it's not too expensive, I'd like to live here.” “That’s grand!” Dixie decl. red. Tm on the next floor. It’s cooler in summer, but you'll be glad you have only one flight of stairs to climb. Want to come up and see my place?” They left Bergman to lock up the apartment and Cherry followed Dixie to inspect her tiny third floor quarters.

From there Cherry telephoned to Clarice Clark. It developed that the apartment rented for SSO a month. However, as Dixie had predicted, the Clarks did not want to pay storage on their furniture. They were anxious to get away at once. Clarice Clark said that if Cherry and Dan would take the place immedately they could have it furnished for SSO a month. "111 talk to my husband and let you know this afternoon,” Cherry promised. She decided to go with Dixie to the News office and there consult Dan. The two girls boarded a car

While he was thinking these things and wishing that Numa would go away, Tarzan was startled to hear a sudden crashing in the underbrush upon the opposite side of the clearing beyond the antelopes. The timid animals were instantly upon the alert and poised for flight. At the same time there broke into view a young lion which, sighting the antelope, set up a terrific roar as it charged. Tarzan growled in rage and disappointment! The blundering of a stupid young lion had robbed him of his meat, for the antelope were now scattering.

and rode downtown. They were walking toward the rilwspaper office when the other girl put her hand on Cherry’s arm. “Here's somebody you should know,” she said. The next moment she was saying to a young man who had stepped out of a building just ahead of them, “Oh, Max! Have you met Cherry Phillips? She’s Dan’s wife, you know. Cherry, this is Max Pearson.” Cherry put out her hand. She raised her eyes to meet the young man's. They were dark eyes, very handsome. Something seemed to tighten

The lion, charging futilely, had lost his own meat and Tarzan’s too. But the unexpected happened! A terrified buck, blind to all save the single thought of escape, was bolting straight for the tree in which the ape-man sat.

Without a backward glance the ape-man threw the carcass to his shoulder and sprang for the nearest tree. Scarce had he drawm himself to safety before the great cat crashed across the spot where Tarzan had stood. Baffled, the beast roared terribly as he returned to glare up at the ape-man perched above him. Tarzan grinned. “Son of Dango, the hyena," he taunted, ‘‘go hungry until you learn to hunt." Casting a broken branch contemptuously in Numa’s face, Tarzan vanished among the trees, bearing his kill lightly across one broad shoulder.
