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

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,

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

He swung toward the girl again.
Cherry put out a hand.
"Can I see what the paper says?"

.."Here read It! Red It and let
me hear what you have to say for
yourself! 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

i from reading it. The newspaper fell
from her hand.

almost apoplectic lnhue. "Well,
young man, wnat have you to say

Dan hesitated. "I was JUBt telling

"Will you please come to ..the
point and aay what you have to

The brusqueneas of the older
man's tone caught. Dan off guard.
"Why why of course!" he an
swered. "Cherry and I had lunch

"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. Cherry had taken
off her hat and slipped out of her

TtHE Tlnies laughed aloud to see
how cute a little monk could be.
The one that pulled wee Duncy In
the cart was jumping 'round.
"Hey! 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. Please stop the mon
key, Duncy, and we'll climb In by
our side.
"Perhaps the monk will then go
slow. 'Twill be a rcui good load,
you know." "All right! I'm game.
If all of you are willing," Duncy
cried.
THEN to the monkey he yelled,
"Whoa!" The monk, however,
didn't know that that meant stop,
so on It went, much faster than be

Cherry stayed m ner room the

her dinner on a tray but the girl
refused food.
When her mother came upstairs a
