REGTN WERE TOD AT CHERRY DIXON, 18 nd pretty, fell* In love with DAN PHILLIPS, newspajwr reporter whom her weaithy, aristocratic parent* have forbidden her to see. When Cherry learns Dan a telephone message* have been kept from her, she steals out of the house to meet him. Her father dLsroveis thl* and threaten* to send her to California. Cherry defies him and he orders her to leave. Bhe goes to Dan, tells him what has happened and asks him to marry hejr. The ceremony is performed that night by a Justice of peace. Cherry looks for an apartment, hut Is discouraged to find them so expensive. Dan works late one night on a Up that TONY TOSCALLI. gangland chief, 1* , coming to Wellington. i Chrrrv unconsciously gives this news tip to reporter on the rival newspaper.

She could feel the hot color in her cheeks. She said, “How do you do, Mr. Pearson. I've heart? Dan speak of you.” Lowered lashes covered her confusion. “I’m glad to know you,” Pearson said. “Great boy. Dan. But of course you know that. He's to be highly congratulated.” “Isn't he?” Dixie chimed in gaily. “Too bad you missed the party, Max. We had a real celebration *t.he night of the wedding. You should have heard Beach and Pat Warner warbling. ‘Oh, Promise Me!’” Dixie’s chatter relieved the tension. When Cherry looked at . Pearson again, she wondered what could have made her imagine there #was anything unusual about him, anything at all except the pleasant manner of an extremely good-look-ing young man. Why hadn’t Dan told her Pear- ** son was so handsome? •He was as 1 all as Dan, more solidly built, though not an ounce of that weight seemed superfluous. Cherry admired the way he carried his shoulders, too. Straight as a soldier. She remembered Dan had said Pearson was an ardent pacifist and thought it amusing that she should have considered him soldierly. She glanced at him again. It wax the dark eyes with their flashing brilliance as he talked that gave so much distinction to his face. The other features were well modeled, particularly the chin, which was rounded, yet forceful. His hair, beneath his hat brim, looked almost black. Pearson was saying to Dixie: “Well. I see anotheer of your Hollywood friends has slipped off the marital shackles.” “Marital shackles! What a way to take when Cherry here is a bride!” “Oh, excuse me.” He turned to the other girl. “But of course the Hollywood variety of marriage doe# seem a little different than—er—those that are made in heaven.” Was he laughing at her? Cherry could not tell. Dixie went on confiding gossip about the film star’s divorce and the marriage to follow as soon as legal obstacles had been cleared away. “Have you ever paid this place a visit before?” Pearson asked Cherry as they turned in before the impressive stone entrance of the News building. “No, I haven’t.” Before she could say more she felt a hand on her arm and turned. “Dan!” Cherry exclaimed. He stood before them, smiling. “Hello, folks. I see that my wife’s in good company. Thought it was you ahead of me, Cherry, but I couldn’t be sure. What have you been doing all day?” a a a t pEARSON excused himself and X disappeared. Dixie and Cherry together told Dan about the apartment from which they had just f come, about terms and arrangements that could be made with the present tenants. “Well, if you like it so much, honey, why didn’t you take it? >Tou’re the one to be satisfied.” Cherry insisted Dan should see the place also. The discussion ended with another telephone call to Mrs. Clark. That evening Cherry and Dan climbed the long flight of stairs together and knocked at the Clarks* door. When they departed half an hour later, a deposit on the first SSO rent had been paid and it was

agreed the new tenants should move in Monday morning. For the next three days Cherry was unusually busy. She set forth on her career as a housewife by investing in two huge and impressive cook books, a smaller volume which she found on the same counter in the book store entitled, ‘‘The Budget Book or How to Operate a Home Economically,” and a becoming pink and white apron. There was packing to do and though it was only her own clothing and Dan’s, it seemed an enormous task. It was not finished until Sunday, when Dan came to her rescue and by the simple process of tossing everything in sight into two large suitcases, sitting on them and thus forcing the edges together so the buckles could be snapped, the packing was completed. They stood together on the threshold of the room they were about to desert. It was littered with papers, discarded odds and ends, and looked dingier,and uglier than ever. “Somehow' I hate to go,” Cherry said regretfully. “We’ve been so happy here.” “If you think I’d unpack all that junk—!” She laughed. “Oh. of course, I don't mean it. Not really. The new' place is going to be ever so much nicer. Only I’ll always remember this room, Dan.” He drew' his arm close about her, kissed her. “The cab will be waiting,” he said. “We’d better go down.” Cherry’s trunk had been sent ahead to the new address. The rest of the baggage was stowed into the taxicab beside Cherry and Dan. It seemed a short ride to their new dwelling. The janitor answered Dan’s ring and helped carry the bulky suitcases up the stairs. Then, as soon as the new tenants had received their keys he departed. Dan said, “Sorry I can’t wait to help unpack, dear. See you tonight “At 5:30?” “As nearly as I can make it. Bye.” a a a j HP HE door closed after him. Cherry ■ A stood in the middle of the floor and surveyed her new r home. Oh, it was going to be lovely here! It was so much nicer than she had remembered. The worn furniture, the cheap, makeshift decorations took on new attractiveness because she thought of them as her own. The day dreaming ended abruptly as Cherry remembered that there was much to be done. She took off her hat and coat, inspected the single clothes closet and hung them away. The closet seemed rather small and there was a great deal to go into it. Well, if the Clarks had managed she could. There was a knock at the door and she opened it. The janitor w'as there to tell her the men were bringing up her trunk. When it arrived, Cherry persuaded the janitor to linger and help her get the bulky suitcases open. He was amiable and asked if there was anything else with which she needed help. n Cherry said no and the man left. Somehow the baggage seemed to fill the entire room. It wasn’t as large a room as she had thought. Where and how to begin? There didn’t seem to be much choice. Cherry remembered the pink apron, got it out and tied it around her waist. Then she pushed up her sleeves and set to work. She forgot time in her eagerness to put the new home to rights. At last she straightened from the suitcase over which she had been bending. Her back ached and she rubbed it. Cherry looked at the watch on her wrist. Almost 2 o’clock! Good gracious, was it so late as that? She realized she was tired and sank into a chair with a sigh. She had been working steadily since early morning. Dan’s things had all been unpacked and put away. Most of her own hung in the closet. / “I’m hungry,” Cherry thought, “and there’s nothing to eat—” She arose and went to the kitchen. Praise be! There on the pile of plated was a small tin box

of tea and on the lower shelf was a box of wafers about half filled. Cherry lighted a blaze under one of the stove burners, burning her fingers with the match. She put on water to heat and waited until the kettle began* to hum. Then she made tee and poured a cupful. The tea and the box of wafers made her lunch. ana HER arms and shoulders ached 1 -from the morning's exertion. Cherry decided to leave the room as it was. The really important event of the day was to be the evening meal. It would be the first she had ever cooked for Dan, the first in their own home. She thrilled at the thought! Marketing would be the first step. Cherry washed her face and hands, dabbed on powder and then got into her coat and hat. Just in time she remembered she must have her key and went back for it. The grocery store was a block away. Mentally Cherry checked over the list of things she must buy. it would have to be a large order. She w'anted beefsteak for dinner, mushrooms to go with it and potatoes, of course. Then there must be a salad. Stuffed celery would be nice and there was a recipe in the cookbook. For dessert strawberries and cream. So that the meal would be especially nice she wanted salted nuts and olives. In the store she remembered she would need ever so many more things—rolls and butter and coffee. The young man who took the order was helpful. He reminded her to buy eggs, a bottle of milk and fruit for breakfast. The purchases, set out on the counter, astounded Cherry. There were so many packages and they were’ so big. TTSODK A DfiT BY BRUCE CATTQN IF the book, “Confessions of a Former Customers’ Man,” had been printed early in 1929, its authors probably would have been cast into New York harbor, with great millstones hanged about their necks. •Nowadays, however, we don’t look on financiers, stock brokers and Wall Street with quite the awed reverence we used to have. So. instead of being lynched, the authors—they’re David L. Salmon and Edwin F. Bowers—can sit back peacefully and collect treir royalties. Salmon spent .fifteen years in Wall Street as a customers’ man. (He says that “procurer” is a better title.) In this book he tells what he learned in those years, and what he learned seems to have been plenty. To begin with, he declared flatly that unless you’re “on the inside” you hardly can hope to make money in the stock market. In all his fifteen years he knew of only three or four ordinary traders who finished ahead of the game. Second, he says that the very surest w'ay to lose is to follow the tips that come from the big fellows—for the big fellows, it seems, Aren’t above fooling even their best friends. In addition, he asserts that short selling ought to be legislated out of the picture, saying that it undoubtedly helped to intensify and prolong the depression. Then he winds up by lambasting Wall Street’s morality and casting an armful of aspersions at the intelligence of its big shots. You’ll find his book lively, entertaining—and very, very illuminating. It is published by the Vanguard Press and sells for $2.

TARZAN AND THE ANT MEN

R nr ..... , 11 iL '' " '-IS

With meat enough now to last several days, Tarzan set about fashioning weapons and a loin cloth, using nothing but his crude stone knife and bits of sharp flints from the river bed. He knew he must have weapons that he and the Alalus youth might better defend themselves against the powerful Alali females, the great carnivore, and whatever other enemies time would reveal to him in this strange country. And as he worked, he watched the boy, wondering just how the poor creature would ever be of use to him in finding his way out of tm encircling Great Thom Forest.

“11l carry them out to your car,” the clerk offered. “I’m sorry, but I—l haven’t a car.” “We can send them, but we charge 10 cents for delivery service.” Cherry nodded. She was counting out money to pay the bill. Three dollars and sixty-five cents. She dug out the last coin from the bottom of her purse and discovered there were only six pennies left. “I guess I’d better take the things with me,” she said hesitantly. The obliging clerk crowded the groceries into three big sacks. They

filled both the girl’s arms. Balancing the heavy load perilously, Cherry set off down the street. She had not gone a dozen yards when the sound of an automobile horn attracted her attention. Cherry turned to face Max Pearson at the wheel of a black roadster. He had pulled the car to the curb. “Going to let me give you a lift, aren't you?” Pearson called as he stepped to the pavement. He was smiling. (To Be Continued.)

The poor thing was timid; this Tarzan well knew from its actions and manner when they fled from the fierce women of its tribe and later by its terror when confronted by Numa, the lion. Its speechlessness made it useless as a companion. In addition it was almost without woodcraft, beyond a certain crude sort that was of no practical use to the ape-man. Its presence, therefore, would only prove an added burden to Tarzan, who began to believe he would have plenty of difficulties himself, beforfche could-reach familiar country and ’he trailer home.

BLOW AT GAS ’LEGGER New Federal Tax, Effective Soon, to Put Crimp in Business. By United Prets WASHINGTON, June 13.—The new federal tax of 1 cent a gallon on gasoline, which betimes effective in ten days, is expected to put a crimp in the business of gasoline “bootleggers.” Every state now has its own gasoline tax, but according to estimates received by the bureau of public roads, these taxes are evaded to the extent of $100,000,000 yearly.

—By Ahern

But it had placed itself at Tarzan’s side during the threat upon the ape-man’s life in the corral. Though at that time it could not have really aided him, yet the deed had won for the creature Tarzan’s gratitude. Moreover, it was quite evident that the youth had attached itself to Tarzan and intended to remain with him. As Tarzan pondered the problem, he decided to make similar weapons for the Alali boy and see if it could be successfully taught to use them. He had seen that the crude weapons of the Alali people be no match against any one armed with even a good spear.

The states last year received $537,589,717 in gasoline taxes. State officials believe the ‘bootlegging" will be curtailed because the, federal tax authorities have considerably more resources at their command in going after those who fail to pay taxes.

crat, of Batesville, Saturday proposed \o congress the adoption of an amendment to the Constitution to make possible the subsequent repeal of the eighteenth amendment by a direct vote of the people. The referendum amendment proposed by the Hoosier automatically would resubmit the eighteenth amendment at the next congressional election thereafter, provides a substitute amendment outlawing the saloon, but permits the sale of liquor in packages in the wet states under a federal dispensary system.

—By Edgar Rice Burroughs

And as Tarzan worked and thought how best quickly to teach the boy to be of service in the hunt and fight, if necessary, the Alalus suddenly paused in trying to help Tarzan. He bent an ear close to the ground; then he lifted his head and looked at Tarzan, pointed at • him, at his ear, and then at the ground. The ape-man understood that he was to listen as the other had and when he did so, he dis- ; tinctly footsteps resounding upon a veil-worn trail. J
