HEOIX UK HE TODAY Cherry Dixon, pretty, 10, tella lier mother she Is going to a club meeting but Instead meets Dan Phillips,' reporter on. the Welling ton News. Cherry has few friends because her wealthy parents con sider most of the other young people of the town socially in ferior. She has become acquaint ed with Phillips without her parv ents' knowledge, i , ' . : She and Dan lunch- together and are about to start for a drive In Cherry's roadster when anoth er reporter tells Dan that Duke Smith, a bank robber, has es caped Jail and - the city editor wants Dan to find Inez Malloy, Smith's- Bweet heart, and get an interview. Dan and-Cherry drive to the apartment- where Inez Is i staying; , He enters, Wjhen he does not- return Cherry grows nervous and. follows. She be comes frightened- runs up a stairway and at shot strikes her arm.. Cherry faints and. recovers, consciousness- to find herself In a strange roonu Dan has band aged her arm temporarily. He takes her to a doctor's office and later drives her home. While Dan Is trying to explain to Mrs. Dix on what has happened Cher ry's father arrives. He Is very angry, brandishes a newspaper and demands, "What's the mean ing of ttllB?" NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER V "What's the meaning of this?" Walter J. Dixon demanded". His ac cusing eyes were on his- daughter. No one spoke; for an Instant no one moved. Dixon was a tall man Jpst under six feet. He was sturdily built though not "heavy." His handsome features, usually set in a mold of frigid dignity, were alive with anger now. Older than .his wife, Walter Dixon looked younger. The silvered hair lent distinction rather than age. The blue eyes snapped, turned from his daughter to his wife. -- "Cherry was Just explaining," Mrs. Dixon began timidly. "It was an accident" , ? "Acoldent? For - my daughter to be found in an underworld rendez vous? In a shooting scandal 1 Acci dent Is. that the name you have for itr He swung toward the girl again. Cherry put out a hand. "Can I see what the paper says?"

Look at your picture plastered over, every', cheap news sheet in the- city';" ', There was the photograph of Cherry beneath the glaring head lines. It was a photograph made a year before during commence ment at Miss Rathburne's School. Cherry wore a gown of floating organdie and broad-brlnmed pic ture hat. She was like charming wood dryad come to life. The face. Eweetly serious, beneath the hat brim was child-like In Its Inno cence. Certainly It was Incongruous to see such a picture beneath the heavy black type. "Society Girl In jured in Shooting." Directly beneath Cherry read: "Miss Cherry Dixon, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.' Walter J. Dixon' of Briartop, Sherwood Heights, and prominent In the city's younger so cial group, was Injured when a gun .was discharged in an apartment at ; Taylor, avenue today. "Some mystery surrounds the shooting which was believed to be accidental. It was reported by Pa trolman James Dougherty, called to the address by residents of the building. The bullet struck Miss Dix on's arm leaving a flesh wound " There was more but the blur be foro Cherry's eyes " prevented her i from reading it. The newspaper fell from her hand. ; "Excuse me, Mr. Dixon. My name ;lfi Phillips. Dan Phillips.'1 The VOline man hnrl hnnn ntanrllnir In J the background. Now he came for- iward. "I'm to blame for everything ithat happened this afternoon. Cherry Miss Dixon was with me. The doc tor said the wound isn't serious. Thinks it will heal easily.

Took me to the doctor's office-and then brought me home " Her father waved the girl1 to silence. . "And so my daughter spent the afternoon with your Dixon exclaimed. His cheeks had grown almost apoplectic lnhue. "Well, young man, wnat have you to say for yourself?" Dan hesitated. "I was JUBt telling Mrs. Dixon." he began, "when you came in. It was Inexcusable for me to let Cherry go to a place like that. J should have -Known better. Sardines In large oval Cans. . 2 Cans '19C SUGAR 20 lbs. R10c Cake Flour VUg.

You can tell your, editor hell: hear ' from. me later." - "Father please 1" Cherry's anx ious face was pallid but her eyes things, Father! f "Silence!" Walter Dixon s hand was lifted He roared the word dramatically. There was nothing Dan Phillips could do- but obey. "Certainly I'll go." he said quietly. "Good after noon." With a quick glance at Cherry he turned and left the room. They heard the outer door close ft mo ment later. Walter Dixon's blustering manner diminished slightly. "Have you called Div Knowles?" he asked. . "I'll do it now," his wife fluU tered. "I'll do It myself." In the face of her husband's wrath Mrs. Dix on was always a pathetic figure nervously eager to set things, right, always at a loss how to ac complish it. Through 24 years of married ljfe it had been the same. She had' lived with no other purpose than to keep the ; wheels of the household mloving noiselessly and when they did not she was helpless. So concerned was she over what Walter might think of a situation It never - occurred to her to think about it herself. She hurried away now. Father and daughter faced each other across the table.

"Remember this' iq the' last time you're to see that young man! Never again you understand me?" "Y-yes, father." The eyes were rebellious. The Hps framed the words slowly. "That's all then." ' When Mrs. Dixon re-entered the room she found her husband pacing backhand forth 'before the fireplace. "So, this Is what weAre coming tol" he burst forth. ' "YcJunger-generation!

Please go straight." scared Duncy cried. "I do not want a thrilling ride. If you keep racing here and there, 'twill flop me to the ground." , Then Scouty cried, "I have a hunch there's room enough lor all this bunch.

Cherry stayed m ner room the rest of that evening. Sarah brought her dinner on a tray but the girl refused food. When her mother came upstairs a little later, she was shocked at the girl's tear-stained, face and swollen eyes. She .wanted - to comfort her but Walter Dixon, had ruled Cherry was to be ' left alone in disgrace; Mrs. Dixon, murmured something about trying to get some rest and disappeared.
