She meet* handsome MAX PEARSON, who l.*o work* on the New*. One morning several weeks after her marriage Cherry receives a letter In the morning mall. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO CHERRY did not need to look at the signature of the letter. She had recognized her mother’s handwriting. Something slipped from her fingers and dropped to the floor as she opened the envelope. A narrow, folded strip of pale blue paper. Cherry picked it up, unfolded it. She read: "Pay to the order of Cash—ssoo.” A check from tjir First National bank for $500! Oh, what would Dan say? Five hundred dollars would pay all their bills and leave a balance with which to start a savings account. It would buy the new suit Dan really needed. Five hundred dollars —why, it was a fortune! Cherry turned to the letter. "My dear Cherry,” her mother had written, "It has been a long time since I've heard from you and I have been so worried. Sarah is badly crippled with neuritis and unable to leave the house. "I have no means of reaching you except to send this note, because of promises I made your father. He is bitter—refuses to have your name mentioned—and the situation is very hard. "I can not endure the thought that you may be in want, perhaps actually suffering. The enclosed check is to buy anything at all that you may need. "Consider it a wedding present if you wish—although I certainly never thought my daughter would be married without either of her parents present and by a justice of the peace! "Cherry, darling, the last month has been a terrific strain on me. I only can wait and pray that some time this terrible trouble may be lifted. If only I could know you are well and not in need. Day and night I think about you. May God keep you!—Your Loving Mother.” Thoughtfully Cherry studied the check. Five hundred dollars seemed a lot of money now. Two months before it would have been only the price of a few dresses. How had her mother managed to send such a sum? Cherry knew her father scrutinized household accounts, paid all the bills. It must have required scheming and

Mrs. Dixon was not the sort to scheme. "Poor mother!” Cherry said to herself. “I’ll write her and send the letter to Sarah. I don’t want her thinking Dan and I are pov-erty-stricken, going around in rags ” All at once the figures on the check starred back at her accusingly. Five hundred dollars—FlVE HUNDRED DOLLARS! "You can’t take it!” a small voice in the back of her breath was insisting. “You aren’t starving or cold or helpless, and you can't admit to your mother or any one else that Dan doesn't make enough to take care so you. “You can't accept this money and admit your marriage isn’t a success!” ts u n CHERRY sank to the davenport. , There were all the things which J that money could do for her and Dan. It could hardly have come at a more opportune time—the rent to be paid. Dan's new suit, the money he had borrowed. “Take it!” a second voice, equally far afray, seemed to argue. “Accept it as a wedding present. You wouldn’t even have to tell Dan—!” Ah! There it was! She had known all along what was holding her back from accepting the money. She had known Dan never would agree to take money from her parents. Dan was proud and bitter still over things her father had said on the only occasion when the two had met. This SSOO was realy her father's money, though it was her mother who sent it. “You can’t do it,” the first voice argued. “It’s your loyalty to Dan that's at stake. You can’t do the one thing you know he wouldn’t want you to.” Well, there was no use sitting there staring at the check. The breakfast dishes were to be washed and the laundry sent. Cherry had a full day’s work ahead. She got to her feet, folded the check and slipped it back into the envelope. Then she placed it in the top drawer of the big chest. She would decide what to do later. The dishes were waiting, stacked | on the shelf that served as a kitchen i table. Cherry drew a pan of i steaming, sudsy water and began to ply the dish mop. After the dishes were washed and I put away she began energetically to | clean the living room. She worked as though getting that room clean were the one important thing in the world. It wasn't, of course. No matter how hard Cherry worked, it was the check of which she was thinking. Those two persistent voices, the one i arguing that she should keep it,

the other that she should send it back, continued their duel. She finished with the living room. She collected the laundry and put it out for the driver. Just before 1 o'clock, when she was about to sit down to a frugal lunch, Cherry went to the chest and got out her mother's letter. She took paper and pen and ink and sat down at the table. Five minutes later she folded the check inside the note she had written and sealed them both in an envelope. She addressed it to Mrs. Sarah O’Fallon and finished it with a stamp. “There!” the girl sighed aloud. “It's settled!” She was so eager to ' have the whole thing off her mind that, without waiting to eat, she slipped on her hat and coat and walked to the corner post box. Another week and it would be June. The sky was deep sapphire today, the clouds like down. Sunshine shimmered back from window panes and the white pavement. Cherry walked slowly, enjoying the fresh air. M U U SHE had dropped the letter into a box and started back up the street when a noisy police ambulance passed. A - minute later Cherry caught her breath. The ambulance had halted in front of her home! The girl walked faster. The ambulance was backed to the door now. Two men entered the house and a woman came out the door. Cherry began to run. “What is it?” she asked the man in the driver’s seat. “What’s happened?” ‘Don t know, ma’am. Emergency call.” A group of youngsters, attracted by the noise of the ambulance, formed an inquisitive semi-circle on the sidewalk. Cherry rushed up the steps. The woman by the door was

7TSGDK "A HAY BY BRUCE CATTON

IN “Dictator,” George Slocombe presents a Actionized portrait of a dictator which is so lifelike that it spoils a good novel. The first two-thirds of the book can be nothing but a study of Mussolini. I do not know how much fiction is mingled with fact here, but as you read you feel that you are getting a better understanding of the Italian leader than you ever had before. Mr. Slocombe begins with the pre-war years, when his hero—he is called “Hannibal” in the book—was a homeless anarchist hiding from the police. Then he traces his development through the years when he swung to the other extreme of political thought, follows him up through his triumph, and shows him at last as the successful dictator. Then, abruptly, the key changes. There is a counter-revolution, brought about chiefly because Hannibal shelves his mistress and marries the king's daughter. Hannibal is chased out, and for years he wanders the earth again, becoming a revolutionary labor leader in South America, Europe and the United States. At the last he returns to his native country, leads anew revolt, and once more puts himself on top of the heap. All this is intensely, thrillingly dramatic—but the transition is too abrupt. You feel that you’re reading a biography of Musolini, and suddenly you find you’re reading a gorgeous romantic novel, and it’s too sudden. . . . Aside from that, though, it’s a fine book. It’s published by the HoughtonMifflin Company, and costs $2.50.

TARZAN AND THE ANT MEN

As Tarzan watched the tiny riders he marveled that the warriors could keep their seats upon the leaping, bounding, twisting and turning mounts. It was a pretty sight and an inspiring one. However unreal it had all at first appeared to him, the ape-man was not long in realizing that he was looking upon a race of real pygmies. These then, were perhaps of that tribe of diminutive men reference to which is occasionally to be found in ancient mmacriM* of trivsV legend And exploration*

Took some kind of poison.” "Oh. how horrible!” "It’ll be a mercy if she doesn't live,” Cherry's informant continued somberly. "She’s been out of work.

Soon he found his sympathies going out to the tiny warriers, and when it became evident that the Alalus woman was going to make good her escape into the forest with her captive, the ape-man decided to take a hand in the affair himself. As he stepped from the concealment of the forest the little warriors were the first to see him. They mistook him at first for another of their giant enemies. A great cry of disappointment rose from them as they fell back for the first time since Tarzan had been „ watching the unegusl struggle. _ M

like to be out of work, with no friends!” The door opened and the two women stepped aside. Two men bearing a stretcher came out. There was a figure on the stretcher, entirely covered except for the pale face with its frame of dark hair. The eyes were closed, but the face was contorted is though from pain. Instinctively, Cherry drew back. The crowd of watchers on the sidewalk had increased. Cherry wanted to tell them to go away. That poor girl—surely in her suffering she was entitled to privacy!

They were taking her to a hospital to try to save her ljfe. Would she live? If the doctors succeeded would she be grateful to them? “It’s—so terrible,” Cherry said brokenly. "Let’s go inside.” The other woman followed her. Mr- Bergman, the janitor, stood in the entrance hall. "Well, it’s too bad,” he said. "It’s a bad thing to have happen in an apartment. I hope they won’t get a lot of rumors started ” "Do they think she’ll get well?” Cherry asked. Mr. Bergman inclined his head skeptically. “Who knows? She

Wishing to make his intention clear before the little men set upon him Tarzan moved quickly in the direction of the giant female. The instant she saw him, she made imperative signs for him to join her in dispatching the balance of the pygmies. She was accustomed to being feared and obeyed by her mankind when she had them in her power. Probably she wondered a little at the temerity of this he. for as a rule they all ran from her; but she needed Aim badly, and that was the mm in teg thought ,

As Tarzan advanced he commanded her in the sign language he had learned from the boy of her tribe to release her captive and go away, molesting the little men no more. At this she made an ugly face and raised her bludgeon, came forward to meet him. The apeman fitted an arrow' to his bow. “Go back!” he signed to her. “or I will kill you! Go back, and put down the little man!” The Alalus woman paid no attention to this warning. She merely snarled ferociously and increased her iw-e. - wW". i

They’ll save her if there’s any way to do it.” They were right, of course. There was nothing for Cherry to do but go upstairs to her own apartnjent. Lunch was waiting there, but she knew she could not eat. (To Be Continued! Six lucky shoppers will win cash every single day daring The TIMES SALES SLIP Contest.
