Look sort of worn out. Would you like me to bring you a cup of tea?" Cherry thanked her, but refused. The woman said she was Mrs. Moreau and lived on the third floor. Cherry promised to come uji to see her some afternoon. The apartment never had seemed such a refuge. Cherry entered, closing the door behind her. The familiar room with its bright colors and comfortable furnishings had never looked so attractive. Oh, why had she and Dm considered themselves poor! They were young. They had health. They had each other. Throughout the afternoon Cherry was unable to rid herself of the memory of Miss Jamieson's white face. At 4 o’clock she went down stairs to ask the janitor's wife if there had been any report from the hospital. "If she lives through the night," Mrs. Bergman told her, “they say she'll get well. The poor girl! Yes, it's too bad—too bad !” There was nothing to be gained fjr Miss Jamieson or any one else by standing there and discussing what had happened. Cherry went back to the second floor. Dinner was ready, waiting to be put on the table when Dan arrived at 6 o'clock. Cherry heard him whistling in the hall and ran to open the door. "Hello, darling—" she began, but the words died on her lips. Dan Phillips entered, his face alight with excitement. “Hello, Cherry. Walt till you see what I've got for you!" he exclaimed.

THEY TELL ME'Jkf

TNDlANA’S*thirty delegates to the * Democratic national convention, to be selected Tuesday, would provide the necessary support for the span over which Franklin D. Roosevelt must pass on his way to the White House in November. To obtain assurance of those thirty votes, Roosevelt and his managers are exerting such pressure as never has been equalled previously in state political history. The adherents of New York’s Governor assert that if Indiana would pledge its thirty votes, he would be assured the Democratic presidential nomination, and because of their great need, the state has been canvassed assiduously. Precinct' and party leaders in many coilnties have been prevailed upon to sign a petition demanding that the convention Tuesday instruct the delegation for Roosevelt. The telephone company has been collecting heavy tolls because of the efforts exerted in this manner—but, if indications are correct, it is all to no avail. u a u Politics is no new endeavor in this state. The Democratic leaders have been at it for years and they can’t understand why they should give up the strength and trading possibilities inherent in an uninstructed delegation for a mess of pottage in the form of many promises which may or may not ever be fulfilled. Let’s scrutinize the situation carefully—not from the viewpoint of

CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE DAN grinned down at her. “11l give you three guesses," he answered. “What do you think I have?" “Is it something for me?" Cherry asked. “Yes." “But I haven't the slightest idea!" "You can guess, can’t you:" Dan insisted. “What would you think it’s likely to be—a Rolls-Royce or the crown Jeweft of England or " A faint cry, plaintive and highpitched, interrupted him. It came from Dan's coat pocket. It was repeated. this time louder. An unmistakably kittenish “Meow!” “A kitten! Oh let me see It!” Cherry cried. “Where did you get it, Dan? Oh, you little darling, you 1" This last was addressed to the wriggling ball of gray fur that had emerged from Dan’s pocket. The kitten, balancing in Dan’s two hands, looked about on this new world in which it found itself and emitted another “Meow!" “Cute, Isn’t it?" Phillips asked. Cherry had taken the kitten and was holding it nestled against her shoulder. The warm, soft fur touched her cheek. The girl's eyes were bright as a child's. “It’s adorable!” she told him. “Did you know I’ve always wanted a kitten? That's another 1 thing I never could have at home. But where did you get it? Can we really keep it?” “We can if you want to. I stopped at the drug store on the corner for cigarets. There were four of these little fellows there with their mother. One was black and the others were sort of gray striped. I thought this one was the cutest and the man said he’d be glad to give it to us. It’s not quite a month old yet.” The kitten seemed eminently contented with its perch on Cherry’s shoulder. It was purring now—a miniature sing-song that barely could be heard. “Do you hear it?" Cherry demanded. “It’s singing. Oh, of course we’ll keep it! And it was sweet of you to bring it, Dan.” She began to laugh. The kitten had raised one velvety paw and with experimental gestures was investigating Cherry's ear. “Put it down,” Dan suggested. “Let’s see what it thinks of the place." Cherry set the kitten on the floor. It was completely gray except for a white line down the center of its forehead, rounding out in a sym-

partisanship, but from the position of dispassionate analysis. For months the Roosevelt managers have claimed Indiana’s delegation in their fights in other states. They have not in Indiana. Now they come here and in their efforts to win support lay claim to delegations of other states. It is to be supposed that their assumption of pledges elsewhere has the same basis as their assertions of a hold upon Hoosicrdom. In other words, the strength Roosevelt men claim may, to a large degree, be only upon paper. it tt a When the showdown comes, a pledged delegation will find Indiana holding the bag, assert the practical politicians meeting here. But if the Hoosier delegation goes to the convention without alliances or entanglements of any kind, and splits its vote equally among all candidates on the* first ballot, then it will be in a position where all will be seeking its support. Pledged to Roosevelt, Indiana is just another cipher—unpledged and fancy free, it is master of its own destinies and much courted and sought after. So reason the astute ones. But, of course, knowing Hoosier Democrats, it’s difficult to believe that the smart thing will be done. The delegates should remember that a nomination or election never is in the sack until the last precinct has reported and the last ballot has been mutilated.

metrical arc of white about its nose and mouth. As though aware of their scrutiny the little animal backed slowly away from Cherry and Dan, stopped and gazed up at them. “Well, I’ll be darned!" laughed Dan. “Would you look at the little beggar giving us the onceover?” m m CHERRY was down on her knees beside the kitten again. “I know what I'm going to call it," she announced. “Did you ever see anything so pink as that nose? I’m going to call It ‘Pinky.’" “That’s a swell name for a gray cat!” “Why, I think it’s a grand name —and, anyhow, that's what it’s going to be." Their own meal was forgotten in their interest in the new pet. Presently, however, the kitten was left curled up on a pillow on the floor and Cherry and Dan sat down to dinner. Dan broke a roll and buttered it. “Well," he said, “I had a piece of welcome news today.” “What was it?” “Your husband. Madam, is the winner of the $5 bonus for the best written news story of the week.” “Oh, Dan, I’m glad!" “So’m I. That five bucks will help out considerably in our financial status. But that’s not all. Two of the fellows who have been owing me for the last six months kicked in with sl2 more. “I’d forgotten about both of them! Yes, it looks as though we can pay our bills and stay out of debtors’ prison after all. My check Saturday will pay the rent for another month and this sl7 will carry us over the week." “It's worked out wonderfully, hasn’t it?" Cherry asked. She said 7T500K A DAY BY BRUCE CATTQN CHARLES FORT, who died the other day just as his new book, “Wild Talents,” was coming from the present, lived'in a worsd entirely unlike the one which most of us inhabit. His world was a place of marvels; a place where common sense and the axioms of science did not exist, a place in which almost anything could be true, no matter how bizarre it might be. Probably it wasn’t a real world at all. But it must have been interesting. • If you read his earlier book, “Lo!” all that I need say about “Wild Talents” is that it is some more of the same thing. If you didn't, it is necessary to tell you that Fort spent years gathering newspaper clippings about outlandish events which never get explained clearly. “Wild Talents” tells you, for instance, about showers of stones falling from a clear sky on the head of a bishop; about two men who died, for no reason at all, on the same park bench within two days of each other; about a dead human and a dead bird, found in a field with mysterious wounds in the head; about people who bum to death in bed from flames that, strangely enough, do not harm the bedding or the room that contains it a bit; about an automobile that seems to possess a will of its own —and so on through a long list of freakish happenings. Fort accepted none of the conventional explanations for these things. Instead, he persisted in seeing the world as a place where anything could happen. “Wild Talents,” aa a result, may i benonsense —but it’s interesting. ' It is published by Claude Kendall, i and sells for $3.

TARZAN AND THE ANT MEN

Tarzan raised his arrow to the level of his eyes and drew it baqk. The pygmies, realizing that for the moment at least this strange giant was their ally, sat their mounts and awaited the outcome of the duel. The apeman hoped the Alalus she would obey hia commands before he was compelled to take her life. But one look at her convinced him. that she had no intention of ceasing her fight with the Ant-Men and had determined also to annihilate him. On she came. Already she was. too close to make further delay safe and the* ape-man released his shaft,

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

It so fervently that the young man across the table looked up. “I—had some news today too,” the girl went on. She told Dan about the check from her mother and about sending it back. When she had finished Dan leaned across the table and took her hand. His eyes were troubled. “You're sure you wanted to do that?" he asked. “Os course I could not have let you spend any of that money for our living expenses or for me, but you might have bought something for yourself. Clothes maybe. Or—whatever girls buy.” Cherry laughed. “Os course not,

silly. What could I be wanting? Oh, Dan. you and I do have so much! We ought to be so thankful r m • m SHE told him about Miss Jamieson who had lived on the top floor and was now at the city hospital. The recital of the story sobered both of them. For some time after the meal had ended, they sat in silence. All at once Cherry cried out. "It’s the kitten! It must be hungry!” Little Pink’s front paws pressing against her ankle had startled the girl. She filled a saucer with milk,

Straight into her savage heart it drove. As she stumbled forward, Tarzan leaped to meet her, seizing the warrior from her grasp before she might fall upon the tiny body and crush it. As he did sc, the other warriors, evidently mistaking his intentions, spurred forward with loud shouts and brandishing weapons; but before they reached him he had set the rescued man upon the ground and released him. Instantly the attitude of the charging Egmlee changed again and from war cries iir tones changed to cheers.

but the kitten was not interested. Try as they would they could not make Pinky drink until Dan filled a teaspoon and poured it down the kitten's throat. Pinky coughed, licked the milk from his whiskers and decided to try a gulp for himself. The kitten's antics kept them amused most of the evening. It chased paper balls attached to a string. It climbed into boxes and out of them and once, when Dan threw down a newspaper, the kitten crawled under it and had what must have been the most exciting adven-

Riding forward they drew rein before the warrior Tarzan had rescued. Several of them leaped from their mounts and, kneeling, raised his hand to their lips. The ape-man understood then that he had rescued one who stood high among them, perhaps their chief. Now he wondered what would be their attitude toward him. With an expression of amused tolerance upon his features, he watched them as one might watch the interesting doings of a swarm of ants. As they congratulated their fellow upon his nyiraculous escape Tarzan had a chance to inspect them more closely.

ture of its brief life getting out. “It’s going to be company for me when I’m here alone," Cherry said. “I don’t see how I’ll ever have a dull moment with that little rascal around.” “You’ll probably wish that little rascal was 100 miles away a good many times.” The girl was sure that she would not. The kitten finally went to sleep In her lap and Cherry transferred it to its pillow so gently that it did not awaken. It had been an eventful day. She and Dan sat in the window seat and

looked out on the night. Moonlight streamed over the patch of ground below that by day was nothing more than a weed-grown space where laundry flapped In the breeze. Tonight it might have been a garden. Ugly buildings took on. grace from the black shadows. The faint scent of plumb blossoms came from a tree across the alley. Cherry put up a hand and touched Dan’s cheek. “We’ve so much to be thankful for,” she whispered. (To Be Continued)

The tallest of them stood about eighteen J inches in height. They were tanned by exposure to a shade trifle darker than his own, ! yet there was no doubt but that they were ! white men. Their features were regular and well proportioned. There were variations among them, of course, but the majority Tarzan saw before him were fine, handsome looking men. All were smooth faced and there seemed to be no very old men among them. He whom the ape-man had saved from the Alalus woman was apparently much younger than thocjp who had dismounted to do him ' homage, ’
