Then Dixie sat before the mirror while Cherry dampened the frizzled, unruly hair and combed it painstakingly into net waves. It was almost an hour's work, but when it was finished Dixie was enthusiastic. “It looks better than when they act it at the,shop!" she insisted. “Honestly, I don't know how I can thank you—” "There’s nothing to thank me for.” Cherry told her. “I didn't Jiave anything else to do and it's been fun.’’ A little later Dixie departed. In her own apartment she hung away the raincoat that was dry now and tucked the galoshes out of sight. Dixie stood before the mirror for a moment inspecting her <|:arefully waxed looks. She was thinking of the girl down stairs. “There's no use to tell her,’’ Dixie Informed the Image in the looking glass. “It’s bettor for her not to know% but just the same it’s a dirty shame! I’d like to tell Dan Phillips what, I think of him-” It, was evident from the black looks directed at the girl in the mirror that these remarks would not be complimentary. With a sigh, Dixie turned away to pick up the mystery story she had begun the night before. The way in which the good-look-ing amateur detective tracked down the perpetrator of the retries of horrifying crimes was fascinating reading. Dixie did not put the book - down until she had finished the last chapter. The hands of the tiny ivory

IF what occurred in the house of representatives Friday is the type of governmental economy that the state is to expect from the special session of the general assembly, then it may as well fold up and call it a day, and cheap at that. A beautiful example of sound economy it was not. Under suspension of the rules, the house rushed through the $50,000 appropriation bill for the special session. “And to show the taxpayers that we are in earnest, and to obtain the desired psychological effect,’’ as Hardin Linke iDem.), Columbus, and chairman of the ways and means committee, explained it, the salaries of employes was reduced from $6 to $5 a day. While this was going on. Representative E. Curtis White <Dem.), Indianapolis, ‘was attempting vainly to attract the attention of Speaker Walter Myers. Finally, when recognized. White presented a resolution which would have the record show that the assemblymen were working without pay, but would allow them $5 a day for living expenses. The Speaker ruled that the resolution was out of order, because voting on the appropriations bill Was In progress. hum What, White's move amounted to was reduction of pay of senators and representatives to $5 a day for this session. The members were against that, of course, and if they accomplish the work for which the assembly was convened, they are worth more than the $lO per diem—but the in-

I alarm clock on the bedside table pointed to 12:20. Dixie tossed the book aside then and switched out the rose-shaded light. At the same time in the second floor apartment Dan Phillips ! yawned and discarded his vest, “Say, Cherry,” he asked, “what's become of that yarn I wrote about ; the taxicab driver? The one I called ‘Night Life’? Remember? I’d like to take it around for Brenda to have a look at.” i Cherry s back was toward him. She did not turn as she answered. There was a pause, almost Imperceptible. and then she said, “I’in sorry, Dan, but 1 destroySd It. I ( didn’t mean to. “It got in with some other papers and I didn’t know until it was , gone—” The words were a deliberate falsehood. But of course Dan never would learn the truth! CHAPTER FORTY CHERRY slipped the pie into the oven, closed the door and straightened with a sigh. Her shoulders and arms ached. She knew she should not have 'tried to bake on cleaning day, but [the apples would have spoiled if she | had not used them. Apple pie was Dan's favorite dessert, too. She looked at the clock and saw i that it was almost 6. Time to set the table. Cherry was wearing her oldest house dress. It was torn and smeared with dust, but she did not | think of that. Her hair was hidden beneath a towel pinned on for a dust cap and there were black smudges on her cheeks. From floor to celling the apartment was in spic and span order, but Cherry herself never had been i less presentable. She had given ! the apartment a thorough cleaning, [shaken the rugs, swept and dusted and washed the windows. It all had [taken longer than she had expected. Cherry opened the gateleg table j and spread out the cloth. Usually she took pains to make the table attractive, but tonight dishes and silver went on carelessly. She was back in the kitchen stirj ring the stew made from last night's ! beef roast when Dan's key sounded in the lock. Cherry did not turn but called, “That you, Dan?” She heard him toss down his coat | and newspapers. A minute more i and he stood in the doorway. “Great Scott!" Dan exclaimed, "what have j you been doing to yoursell?” 1 Cherry looked up in surprise.

consistency of the whole thing is in slashing the salaries of clerks and doorkeepers $1 a day. Let’s see what that amounts to in actual savings. The house employs no more than twenty persons. If the session continues for forty days, as appears at present. J,he reduction in wages will total SBOO for both houses. That saving is achieved in the pay of those least able to afford it. If the house was consistent in its determination to save, it should have adopted White’s resolution, which would have meant S2OO a member, or a total of $30,000 for the forty days. * Compare that with the SBOO and you will agree that the house's action in regard to the employes certainly was a fine example of the inconsistency which the people may have £o expect. Thirteen members, however, saw the injustice of the reduction and voted and spoke against passage of the appropriations bill, but the large majority, evidently afraid that further debate might result in having their own pay cut, voted ‘’aye" and the measure now is in the senate. Perhaps in that chamber it may be decided that the session was not convened for the sole purpose of effecting a saving to taxpayers of SBOO. No one finds fault with the per diem of the members. But consistency can not be too much to expect for the people's representatives. Or are we all wrong and the people really are without representation? The next few weeks will tell.

“Why—l—oh. I guess I forgot to take the towel ofT my head. I've been cleaning house. “Everything's done except the bathroom window. Will you wash it for me, Dan. while I finish getting dinner on the table?” The young man frowned. “Can’t It wait until tomorrow?” “I promised myself I’d have this work done tonight. If you don’t want to do ft, say so and I’ll finish it after awhile. I didn't think you’d mind doing that little bit. I’ve scrubbed and slaved until I can hardly stand—!” It was unusual for Cherry to complain, but tonight she really was tired. She had tried to crowd too much work into a single day and every muscle In her body seemed to protest. “Oh —all right!" Dan grumbled. “I’ll do It.” He rolled up his sleeves and Cherry pinned an apron about him. She gave him the cleaning powder, a basin of water and clean dusters. Dan disappeared and Cherry went on with preparations for the meal. . # m SHE mixed the salad and poured the stew into a serving bowl. Dan didn't like the stew, but tonight he would have to eat it. Everything was ready except the pie. Cherry glanced into the oven, turned the flame higher. "Haven’t you finished et, Dan?” she asked. ■ He was rubbing the window pane laboriously. Cherry stepped fore ward. "Up there,” she pointed. “There’s a streak that isn’t clean.” Dan's exclamation was smothered. “Why don’t you hire somebody to come in and do this for you?” he demanded. “Don’t you think I’ve done a day's work at the office?” “I guess you know why I don’t hire someone to help me! It's because I haven't any money to pay them.” “And that's because I don’t make enough! Is that it? You might as well say It. That’s what you’re thinking, isnt it?”

7TTOK A DA^T BY BRUCE CATTQN

IN “The Forge, - ’ T. S. Stribling painted a strong, persuasive picture of the death of the traditional civilization of the old south in the Civil war. Now he has w-ritten “The Store,” an even better novel, which studies the painful efforts of the south to re-establish itself following the war and the disastrous reconstruction period. Colonel Miltiades Vaiden. who figured so prominently in the first novel, is the central character of this one. At the time the story opens—in the early ’9os—Colonel Milt has fallen on evil days. The enfranchised blacks of northern Alabama are little better off than they w’eie under slavery. , The upper class whites have been ruined, the middle class has not found its moorings; the “poor white trash” are sunk in despair. Colonel Milt, like the class he represents, tries to fight his way back to fortune. Once he sees a w'ay, he is utterly ruthless; he boldly steals a steamboat load of cotton, sells it, crushes his ancient rival, establishes himself in spite of public condemnation. But the book is interesting, not so much for its plot as for Its background. Mr. Stribling has a detailed picture, bringing out the confusion, the misery and the turbulence of the post-reconstruction eifa with vivid colors. “The Store” is an exceptionally fine book. Published by Doubleday, Doran & Cos., and priced at $2.50, it is .the July selection of the Literary Guild.

By now it had become only a matter of selfpreservation with Tarzan as he attempted to fend off with his bough the countless attacks upon his legs. This was easy as the first enemy lines moved past in loose ranks. But presently the solid mass of the Veltorismakusian cavalry was upon him. There was no veering aside to avoid him. In unbroken ranks they bore down upon the ape-man. He threw his useless bough before him to impede their progress and grappled them with his lingers.

“Oh, Dan, how can you accuse she of such things? Do I ever complain about money? Don’t I do everyting in the world to save? I've worked all day—” “Worked? What do you think I’ve been doing? If you really had to do a day’s work once in a while, maybe you'd know how it feels to be tired!” Tears smarted in Cherry’s eyes, but she was determined Dan should not see them. She could not trust herself to speak. TJiey never had quarreled so before. There was nothing over which they were disagreeing now. Both

were tired and both were suffering from ’’nerves.” One word from either of them Just then could have set everything right, but neither of them spoke that word. Dan finished polishing the window pane and stepped back. “There.” he said grudgigly. “Does that suit you?” The girl did not reply. The odor of something burning had reached her nostrils. The pie in the oven! Cherry ran to the kitchen and pulled the oven door open. Thick smoke rolled out. Cherry

Tarzan tore riders from their mounts and hurled them back upon their onrushing fellows; but still they came. They jumped their diadets over every’ obstruction. One rider, leaping straight for Tarzan, struck him head on in the pit of the stomach, half winding him and sending him back a step. Again and again the needlelike points of their rapiers pierced his brown hide until from hips to feet he was red with his own blood, and always thare were more thousands bearing down upon him,

reached for a holder, but found none. She grabbed the nearest object—a tea towel—-and lifted out the pie. The hot. sugary liquid bubbled over the edge of the crust and burned her hand. Cherry cried out in pain. She dropped the pie on the shelf and held her hand under running water from the tap. The pie was ruined. The blase beneath the oven must have been higher than she had thought. The top crust, instead of being a golden flakey yellow, was charred

His weapons, useless against them, he made no attempt to use. He smiled grimly as he realized that in these little people, scarcely one-fourth his size. he. Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, had met his Waterloo! He realized that he was entirely surrounded by the Veltorismakusians. The warriors of Trohanadalmakus, having engaged the advancing enemy, were racing onward with them toward the seven thousand infantry who were to receive that terrible charge.

and black. The odor of burning apple Juice was offensive. Dan stood in the doorway, surveying the scene. “Well,” he said, “I guess we don’t have pie for dinner.” He moved to the windows and raised them. Cold air swept into the room. It chilled the food that had been placed in the serving dishes. Cherry and Dan shivered, but there could be no thought of going ahead with the meal until the smoke was gone. In five minutes the atmosphere cleared.

Cherry disappeared i.ito the dressing room and returned with telltale red lines about her eyes. She and Dan sat down at the table and the meal began. Cherry, if she had been her own vivacious self, would have looked attractive in spite of her soiled, torn frock. She could have laughed and Dan would not have noticed the grimy costume.

He wished that he might have witnessed this phase of the battle but he had fighting enough and to spare. Again he was struck in the stomack by a charging rider and again the blow staggered him. Before he could recover himself another struck him in the same place and this time he went down. Instantly he was covered, buried by warriors and diadets swarming over him, ilke ants, in countless numbers. He tried to rise and that was the last he remembered before he sank into unconsciousness.
