When he and Dan arrive thev find the apartment filled with smoke, the dinner ruined and Cherrv in tear*. All three ro out to dinner Cherrv dances with Max. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY IT was a week after the dinner party that had proven such a failure. Cherry Phillips, down on her knees scrubbing the bathroom r linoleum, straightened up and dropped the dripping rag back into the pall. She surveyed her work, then with ft groan wrung out the mop again ‘and applied it, to the floor. There! It was done at last. Wearily the girl got to her feet. She lifted the heavy pail to carry It to the kitchen, but as she turned caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror. Cherry put down the pail and studied herself. What a sight she war! She had cleaned the apartment, from floor to ceiling but it appeared that all the dust and dirt 'she had scrubbed and scraped away must, have clung to herself. The towel pinned about her skirt in place of an apron was blackened with grime. Her printed silk frock had once been attractive, but she had worn it for housework until it was frayed and soiled. Another lowel. pinned about her head, concealed her hair except for a few stray wisps that straggled forth grotesquely. There were black smudges on her face and arms and one Anger wa. shrouded in a bulky bandage. That ■•was where Cherry had cut herself the day before. ‘You're a disgrace,” she told the Image in the mirror. “You look like something the cat dragged in, as Barah would say. “Only no self-respecting cat would have anything to do with you, because cats keep themselves clean!” Another time Cherry might have found her clown-like appearance amusing. She did not smile today; she was too tired. Wearily she picked up the scrubbing pail, carried it to the kitchen, and emptied it. She saw that the hands of the dollar alarm clock, painted bright yellow, pointed to after 5 o'clock, ‘ Time to be starting supper,” she thought automatically. No matter how hard .she worked cooking or ironing or mending—no matter how busy the day there was always ft o'clock and the evening meal to be prepared. She filled a pan with water and started to peel potatoes. What if Dan did find her looking .such a. sight? She was too tired to think about her appearance—or to care. A sharp rap sounded on the door. •'Any one home?” a crisp voice called. “It's me—Dixie!” Cherry reached for a towel. She was drying her hands as she drew th* door back. "Hello, Dixie,” she said. “Come in.” h a a rHE girl on the threshold smiled brightly —and instantly the smile faded. “Saints above!” she exclaimed in a horrified tone. ‘ What have you been doing to yourself, Cherry Phillips?” Cherry shrugged. "I’ve been cleaning house,” she admitted. "The place gets awfully dirty and I’ve been at it all day.” “But, my dear, you’re a wreck! Why don’t you hire someone to do the cleaning? That’s what I do ” • The other girl shook her head. “We can’t afford to hire any one,” she said. “Anyhow, this is my part of the job. You see there are two of us to live on Dan’s salary. You have only yourself.” Dixie nodded sympathetically. Bhc dropped into the nearest chair.

“Well, you're a game kid, 111 say i that, but you're wearing yourself out and it doesn’t pay. “Listen, I like Dan and all that, but take a little advice from a girl who knows.

But, Lord, what am I going on this way for? I didn't mean to narrate m.v life history!” “I'm sorry, " Cherry said sympathetically. “Don't waste sympathy on me. j Think about yourself. The point is ' you ought to be getting out and ! having some fun. And don’t, for | heaven’s sake, let Dan And you looking like Topsv herself! “Better start scrubbing. It's go- j ing to take a long time to excavate that face.” a a a OBEDIENTLY Cherry began her ! ablutions. “I wish I were clever like you,” she said. "I wish I could hold, a job and earn money.” “Be glad you don’t have to," the other told her shortly. She laughed. “Ive been raving so much I almost forgot why I came. Can you and Dan come up for a little bridge tonight? “Jack McAllister’s coming over and I thought we’d have a party. He’s the press agent at the Capitol theater. You'll like Jack. I’ll make a Welsh rarebit—it’s my one and only culinary achievement and am I proud of it!” "Os course we’ll come,” Cherry said. “I guess you’re right. Dixie. I have been staying in too much.” "Good. I’ll expect you around at 8. That’ll give you time to get out from under the black mask. Well, 111 have to scram. Lots to do in the next two hours.” M M a DIXIE departed. Cherry decided on a quick tubbing and was soon in the warm, comforting bath. Dinner would be late, but at least she would be presentable. Cherry told herself Dixie had been right. It was a mistake to stay at home working all day with no recreation later. That must be why she had felt so'tired and cross. Os cdurse, they had been trying to save, but they couldn’t save all the She was dusting powder over her shoulders when Dan came. "Hello,” she called, slipping a negligee about her. “Dinner's late because I’ve been cleaning house. It won't take long. I'll open a can of beans.” Dan kissed her absent-mindedly. “No hurry,”’ he said. He tossed a newspaper into one chair and dropped his coat and hat into other. Cherry said, “Doesn’t everything look nice? I’ve been working all day.” “Sure. Everything’s fine.” She knew from the tone that Dan had not even heard her. Cherry was disappointed. She slipped a dress over her head and went to the kitchen to rummage for the can opener. It was the work of fifteen minutes to boil potatoes, heat the can of baked beans, split a head of lettuce for salad, and make tea. Canned peaches left from the night before served for dessert. “Everything’s ready,” she told i Dan who was buried behind the pages of the newspaper. a a a THE meal began silently. Once or twice Cherry glanced at Dan to see if anything was wrong. She could not understand his mood. Presently she said, “We have an invitation for this evening!’ “Invitation?” Dan looked up. “Dixie wants us to come up and play bridge. She’s invited someone.

I'm tired of it—working all day long and then Just sitting around here evenings.’’ “You can go if you want to. Iln not going.’’ “Dan!” “Well, I mean it. I suppose you think I don't work all day long? Maybe I don't get tired too. Bridge! If there's one thing in theh world I don’t want to do tonight, it’s to play bridge!" “But I've already accepted, Dan! I told her we'd come." “Well, you can just tell her we won't. Tell her anything—l don't care what you say!” “Please won't you do it for me?" “I’ve told you I'm not going to play bridge tonight and I'm not! If you want to. go ahead. I’m not stopping you.” “I can't go alone. You know that. Oh, Dan, I think you're being horrid. I’ve slaved all day long for you. I’ve scrubbed and swept and dusted until every muscle in my body aches! I'm sick of it and I want a little fun!" Dan Phillips put down his knife and fork. “Maybe you think I wouldn’t like a little fun once in a while,” he said. “Do you know why I can't have it? Because the rent's due next week. Because I've borrowed from every one in the office until I can't raise another nickel and I'm ashamed to ask for it. “Fun? Would It interest you to know that I turned down a poker game with the boys tonight to come home and spend the evening with you? And I did it because by working all evening maybe I can write a story that will bring in some extra cash!" The girl was subdued. “I—l didn’t understand,” she said slowly. “Os course I’ll tell Dixie -we won't be able to make it.” The meal proceeded. It was not

A LEXANDER STEPHENS, whom * Jefferson Davis called “the little pale star from Georgia,” was one i of the most interesting, admirable, | and tragic of all the leaders of the j southern confederacy. He was not enamored of slavery I —but he became its most 'famous dej fender. He opposed secession—but he was one of those chiefly responsible for bringing it about. As vice-president of the confederacy, he was heart and soul for victory—but he opposed President Davis’ policies so sharply that he helped to make victory impossible. All of this is brought out in “Little Aleck,” by E. Ramsay Richardson. Here is a very fine biography which should have been called to your attention earlier, but which, some who w, got lost in the press of books that looked land weren’t) more important. Stephens weighed ninety pounds and had unbelievably poor health. He used to go to congress in a wheelchair and support himself on crutches when he rose to speak—but he was one of the greatest orators congress ever knew. Once he might have become President; later he could have had the presidency of the confederacy for the asking. Always he was a fighter, and always he was an extremely influential statesman. Mr. Richardson has written a very interesting book about him, and you won't want to miss it. It's published by Bobbs-Merrill, and costs $3.50.

TARZAN AND THE ANT MEN

Yesterday's Answer

With dog-like devotion the Alahis youth clung to Tarzan. The ape-man had mastered the meager sign language of his protege, giving them a means of communication sufficient. for all their needs. And while these two roamed the strange land hemmed in by the Great Thorn Forest, and Tarzan sought for an avenue of escape, Miranda and little Uhha, daughter of Khamis, the witch doctor, wandered along the forest’s outer edge as the Spaniard sought a westward trail leading to the sea coast.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

an appetizing dinner and neither of them was in communicative mood. When they had finished, Cherry cleared the dish*.' away and went upstairs to make excuses to Dixie. She returned to find Dan sitting before his battered typewriter, a stack of fresh copy paper at his side. As quietly as possible she went about the work of washing the dishes. She tiptoed whenever she crossed the floor. Now and then the typewriter keys rattled, followed frequently by a terrfle banging that could mean

only that the writer was “x-ing” out his previous work. An hour must have passed while she sat huddled in the big chair pretending to read. The silences between periods of typing became longer. Suddynly. with a loud “Damn!” Dan jerked the paper from the machine. He jumped to his feet, tossing the crumpled sheet to the floor. Without another word, he grabbed for his hat and coat and banged out of the apartment. (To Be Continued)

The Alalus youth, gaining confidence as he became familiar with his new weapons, grew more independent. The result was that apeman and boy now often separated for the hunt. Upon one of these occasions Tarzan came upon a strange sight. Following the scent spoor of Bara, the deer, it was suddenly crossed by that of one of the great female Alali. That probably meant that another would attempt to rob him of his prey. The savage instinct of the jungle beast sprang up in the naked apematfiLacd his snarling lip curled.

He was no longer the polished Lord Greystoke of London, but a primordial hunting brute about to be robbed of its quarry. Taking to the trees, the ape-man moved rapidly in the direction of the Alalus woman. Before he came in sight f her anew scent—a very puzzling one—fell upon his nostrils. It was the scent of man, yet so unfamiliar that Tarzan’s attention was immediately arrested. It was very faint, too. and yet somehow he knew it was close. Then ahead of him, he heard voices—low, mufsical voices that came faintly to his ears. A

There was something in the pitch and quality of these voices that suggested much excitement. Now Tarzan went more carefully, Bara the deer all but forgotten. Soon he realized there were many voices and much commotion. Then he came upon a large plain stretching away to the distant hills. And in the foreground, not a hundred yards from him, he looked upon a sight that might well have caused him to dcubt the testimony of his own eyes, a scene whose only familiar figure was ft giant. Alalus woman.
