She urged Dan so sweetly to go without her that he agreed. CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE CHERRY stood looking out at the vet, street. The rain had begun early in the morning, a steady downpour that threatened to continue throughout the night. It had rained every day of the Week so far. ’October apparently was trying to masquerade as April, but the wind was colder and the days were growing shorter. Now at fti.lo dusk was gathering and in half an hour the street would be in darkness. A slight noise attracted the girl’s attention. Cherry's exclamation was only half annoyance. Pinky, the

SOME men never learn —or maybe they don’t care. The vote in the house of representatives Thursday on permission to introduce a bill repealing the Wright bone dry law prompts the above remark. While the roll call showed clearly the strength of the wets and the comparative weakness of the drys, it did more—it revealed that, despite party platform pledges, the individuals will vote their own ideas. The fight on the Wright law broke at the first session, when three Democratic representatives from Evansville renewed the battle they began in the last legislature. John D. T. Bold. “Chick” Monnig, and Jake Reisinger introduced a repealer and thus gave the Republican minority the longed-for opportunity to make a bid for dry support, with the state chairman, Ivan C. Morgan, an interested spectator. Way f'r the contest was paved as soon as the session opened, when Republican Leader Jim Knapp read into the record a resolution signed by G. O. P. members, insisting that nothing but tax legislation should be considered at this session. When the repealer was introduced, Knapp attempted to invoke a rule, used only twice since 1869, which would permit the house to vote on whether a bill should be received. a a a Bold pointed out that the state platform of both parties pledged repeal of the Wright law, but the 'Republicans, fortified by the action taken at their caucus, which stipulated that they wbuld be guided by .the 1930 platform plank for law enforcement, on which they were elected, voted dry—all except Howard S. Grimm of Auburn. It seems, according to the record, that Grimm made the grave Wror, as far as the drys go, of voting for the medicinal liquor bill in the 1931 session. So, when he sought renomination in May, the dry forces tossed in their “flying squadron and knocked off Grimm. Quite naturally, he lined up with

kitten, had pushed the basket of socks and darning supplies to the edge of the window seat. It had fallen, and the frightened kitten was in the midst of the deluge. •’Pinky!” the girl scolded. *‘l told you to leave those spools alone! Aren’t you ashamed ” The sentence went unfinished. There was a knock at the door and Cherry hurried to open it. Dixie Shannon stood in the hallway in dripping raincoat, galoshes and limp felt hat, “Look at me!” she moaned. “My permanent’s ruined! I had it put in only a week ago. Did you ever see such a sight? I couldn’t get a taxi and I had to wait hours for a car. I’m simply soaking!” “You certainly are!” Cherry agreed. “Come in and get that wet coat off.” Dixie struggled with the clumsy galoshes. “Might as well have left these at home,” she grumbled. "Holes in both heels. Oh—what a day thus has been! What a day!” Cherry took the wet raincoat and spread it over a chair. Raindrops trickled in a little stream from Dixie’s hat. The brown hair that had been weaved “permanently" a week before was indeed a sorry sight. At one side of her face it hung down longer than the other and was almost straight. The part that had been protected from the moisture frizzled outlandishly. Dixie caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror and squealed in dismay. "What'll I do?” she exclaimed. “I look like a Hottentot.” “Better get into dry clothes,” Cherry suggested. “I’ll see if I can set that wave for you if you want me to.” “You lamb! Will you really?” “Yes. but you’ll have to take a hot bath first and put on some-

the wets, pledge or no caucus pledge. Nine Democrats decided that, no matter what the party declared for, they should be dry; and they so voted. Earl Crawford of Milton, Democratic caucus chairman and therefore a party leader in the house, followed his usual custom and voted dry, ignoring the platform position. Defeated for renomination because of his arid record, Hardin S. Linke of Columbus evidently did not take the lesson to heart, because he joined the Republicans in their dry stand. But Delph McKesson of Plymouth, Democratic floor leader, who went down in his fight for the senatorial nomination because of this, learned his lesson by rote. Although a dry of record and still adamant on that position, he cast his vote for reception of the bill. ana This stand by McKesson indeed is a surprise. He told the column that although he will vote against the repealer, he believes that the party should pass the measure, because general sentiment leans that way. Th old order is changing, but nine Democrats and twenty-three Republicans evidently don’t think so. The G. O. P. “out,” as Cy Foster of Carmel explains, is that they represent rural sections, while the Democrats are from urban counties. Be that as it may, the strength of the wets, even with five absent or not voting, was shown to be fiftynine and perhaps sixty, while the drys could muster only thirty-two, with all available strength in. The senate has learned its lesson. They tell me a division on the question would show the same wet strength so that’ if the house passes the repealer and the senate follows the matter will be up to Governor Leslie. When it gets to him, the dry Republican leaders may remember that there is an election in November. Or maybe they don’t care.

thing warm. Otherwise, you'll have pneumonia!” Dixie reached for her coat and hat. “I’ll be right back," she promised. Almost at the door she stopped. “But I forgot—Dan will be coming ” “He's having dinner downtown tonight,” Cherry told her. “Slip into a bathrobe. Dixie and come down and eat with me. Everything's ready and I was dreading the meal alone.” “Give me ten minutes and I’ll be here with bells on.” m m m IT was a little more than that before Dixie returned. She pushed the door open, raised her tip-tilt-tng nose and sniffed appreciatingly. “Food!” Dixie announced. “And such food!” The table had been drawn out and places laid for two. The odors of baked pork chops, fresh vegetables, and muffins mingled appetizingly. Cherry was pouring water into amber tumblers. “Everything’s ready,” she announced. “And does it look good! Cherry, you’re a genius, that's what you are. I’ve never heard of any one who could learn to cook the way you have in such a short time. “Here I’ve been struggling with a frying pan for years—and what does it get me?” Dixie wore a green and white striped bathrobe that apparently had shrunk. She wore floppy blue satin mules on her feet and black lace hose. Her bobbed hair, partly dry now, looked more than ever like the exaggerated coiffure of a Fiji island princess. Cherry glanced at her and laughed. “You did wreck that permanent!” she said. “I’m no professional, but I think I can promise

a little improvement!” “It cost $7.50,” Dixie announced dolefully. “And I thought it was going to make me look like Joan Crawford. Well— there’s no use crying over a rolling stone—or whatever it is they say. “Looking at those pork chops makes me feel a lot better even if my beauty is ruined.” They were sitting at the table now and Cherry served the plates. Dixie broke open a steaming muffin and the golden butter melted as it touched the bread. “ Dan Phillips is missing an elegant dinner if any one should ask me,” Dixie said. “By the way, what’s Dan doing? Working on that play of his?” Cherry shook her hqad. “No. i Dan's at the office. He said he had a lot of extra work and wanted to stay until it was finished.” “At the office?” The other girl looked up. For an instant she seemed about to speak, but then her eyes lowered. “Didn’t you see him there?” Cherry asked. “Why—oh, yes, he was there when I left.” There was another pause and Dixie broke it to say, "Umm! These muffins are marvelous. If I could bake muffins like this one, I’d be the proudest person in the world!” “You can have the recipe,” Cherry told her. “They’re awfully simple to stir up.” At the other side of the room Pinky, the kitten, was playing with a rubber ball. He gave the ball a smart slap and it went rolling across the floor. Pinky flew after it.

** ** u CHERRY looked at the kitten. She said, “I’m glad you stopped in tonight, Dixie. Pinky’s been the only company I’ve had all day. It’s lonesome here when it’s to dark and gloomy outside.’ “Well, it was a me to walk into a meal like this,” Dixie assured her heartily. “Don’’t know when Ive tasted such food!” “I wish I had a job like you have,” Cherry went on. “I wish I could write or draw or knew shorthand. I’ve always wanted to do something worth while.” “Say—what could be more worth

TARZAN AND THE ANT MEN

Line after line of the tiny enercr warriors poured across the rolling country toward Tarzan of the Apes. It reminded him of the incoming rollers of the ocean’s turf, each drop of which was harmless but, in their countless numbers, combined into a relentless and terrifying force of destruction. The ape-man glanced at his leafy bough and smiled a trifle ruefully. But now his whole attention was riveted by the fighting in the first two lines of the advancing horde.

while than cooking a meal like this?” Cherry shrugged, but her smile was wistful. “How’s Dan's play coming?” the other girl asked. “It’s been finished and now they're writing the second act over again. It seems to take an awful long time to write a play. I had no idea it was so much work.” Dixie glanced up and the lids of her eyes narrowed. “What do you think of Brenda Vail?” she asked. “Do you like her?” Cherry hesitated. “Dan says she's

I’ve only met her a few times. “Dan sees her rather often, doesn't he?” “Why, of course. They’ve been working together for weeks.” “She's—rather unnusual looking, don’t you think?” Dixie persisted. “Not pretty exactly, but the type a lot of men fall for.

Racing neck and neck with the Veltorismakusian warriors were the Ant Men of the king's outpost and the thousands who had reinforced them. Each had selected an enemy rider whom he sought to strike from his saddle. The riding of the Minunians was superb; their apparently effortless control of their swift steeds bordered upon the miraculous.

I wouldn't say a thing like that for the world!” The denial was a shade too vehement, and Dixie’s smile a trifle

Man after man was struck down from his saddle while the riderless diadets leaped forward with the vanguard. There was scarce time for Tarzan to catch more than a fleeting impression of this swift moving spectacle before the great horde swarmed down upon him. With his leafy bough the ape-man had thought to sweep the little men from his path. But friend and foe were now so intermingled that he dared not attempt it for fear of unseating and injuring one cMAhe warriors cl his hosts.

forced, but Cherry did not seem to notice this. She looked across at the other girl. Cherry's face suddenly had become serious. “If anybody would dare to say things like that. I hope you'll tell them it’s not true.” she said earnestly. “Dan wouldn't—he couldn't do anything except play fair. He knows I understand about Miss Vail. “Dan admires her because of her ability and of course he's grateful for all the help she's given him.” “Os course, lamb! I know that's all there is to it.

He raised the bough above his head and waited until the first lines should have passed him and then, with only the Ant Men’s enemies about him, Tarzan thought to brush them aside and break the center of their charge. He saw the surprised expressions upon the faces of the men of Veltorismakus aCs they passed near him—surprise, but no sea he heard their shouts as one more fortunate than his fellows was able to rein rtoser to the ape-man and cut viciously at his legs as the rider sped past. *
