IWOIV HKItK TODAY : t Cherry Dixon, pretty, 19, tells' her mother she la going to a club meeting but Instead meeta Dan . Phillips, reporter on the 'yVelllng ; ton News. Cherry has few friend . because her wealthy parents con ,'. aider most of the other young people of. the town socially, in--$ ferlorY She has become acquaint . ed with Phillips without her par k enta knowledge. 1 Bhe and Dan lunch together l and are about to start for a drive la Cherry's roadster when anoth ,. er. reporter tells Dan the city edi ' tor has been trying to find him. Duke Smith, a bank robber, has escaped Jail and. the city editor wants Dan to find Inez Malloy, Smith's sweetheart, and get an interview. Dan and Cherry drive to the apartment where Inez is staying. He enters, promising to . return In 10 .minutes. When he does not come Cherry grows nervous and goes Into the apart ment to find him, . NOW iO OS WITH TUB STOHY there was no doubt thai 'the men were angry, suddenly Cherry heard the clatter of a key tur&log In a lock. They were coming I . . . In panic, blindly., the girl rat) up the stairs and turned atjtbe land ing. She heard the door- open be low and the men came out. Breath lessly, she . flattened herself against the wall. -f Won; they were gone ' but ahe dared not go down. Stealthily Cherry : crept up the stairs to the second floor. She must find some one to help her. Bhe'must find Dan) Marshalling all her courage, Cher ry stepped forward. She) raised a hand and IfnocKed at the door before her. 4t She could never remember the rest. The deafening roar of a gun's report, trie sharp, stinging; sensation In. her arm, her own shriek they seemed all to , have happened at once. Out of the darkness she was able, vaguely, to hear voices. One that was familiar. A pleasant voice. Whose was it? Cherry opened her eyes. "That's the girl. Cherry! Feel ing better, now?" Why, it was Dan who was bend ing over her( He seemed to have his arm about her. "Dan what happened?" "Never mind about- that now. Here, see If you can drink this." it "And close to me!" he murmured, let n do the talking 1'! - . - Not six yards away, coming to ward them, was i blue-coated officer and a youth. . T . "Just a minute there!" the police man called. Dan and Cherry halted. "Do you live In this building?" the policeman demanded. ' "No." "Then what have you been doing there?" "Why. officer,, we're looking for an apartment. Stopped , to see if there were any for rent but we didn't like the looks of the place" "Oh, you didn't? Hear any com motion while you were In there?" "No sir." "Sure of .that?" "Why. yes, I'm sure we didn't hear anything. Is something wrong? Has anything happened?'; Phillips' tone and manner were completely convincing. With a shrug and noncommittal exclamation ' the policeman dismissed them and en tered the building followed by his companion. Neither Cherry nor Phil lips gave the younger man a second glance. They hurried across the street to , the roadster. As Dan was starting ! $ the engine the girl said, "Oh; Dan j. my purse!" , $ "Can't go back now," he told her, J "Not with that flat-foot there! At- ,& ter I get you in a doctor's office "Why, certainly.' ' Dan picked up, the instrument gave v a number, ' "City j desk," he said brusquely and then a moment later. "Bates? This Is Phillips, Sty, I've Just been talking to Inez Mal loy.. Gave me a good story. Shall I WHAT? What did you say?" Both of the listeners turned. There was something In Dan's question that was electrifying. Spell-bound, they, watched and seemed to see -the youth's whole body go limp. "Nol" he exclaimed. "Oh, my God. nol" The words were not a denial, not even disbelief. Slowly he turned and set down the instrument. ' (TO BE CONTINUED) painfully. Two great tear drops, unbidden, slid down her cheek. Firmly she gripped her teeth, resolving not to cry out. . Twice Dan's eyes left the road to catch side-long glimpses of the girl's white face. Each time he increased the roadster's . Bpeed.
