IIKGIN HKKR TODAY, Cherry Dixon, 19 and pretty, tells her mother she Is going to a club meeting but instead meets Dan Phillips, newspaper reporter with whom she Is In love. Her wealthy parents do not know she is acquainted with Dan. Cherry goes with him to interview n bank robber's sweetheart. She blunders Into underworld head quarters and a bullet strikes her arm. Dan takes her to a doctor's office and then homo. He is try ing to explain what has happened when Mr. Dixon appears. He is .very angry and brandishes a newspaper containing Cherry's picture and an account of tho Hhootlng. Mr. Dixon orders Dan from tho house. Days pass and Sarah, Cherry's maid, discovers Dan lias tele phoned and been told the girl is cut of town. Cherry steals out of the house, meets Dan and ex plains. He tells her he loves her. When Cherry arrives home her father is waiting and accuses her of having met the reporter, Cher ' ry defies her father and he orders her to apologize or leave. She says, "I'll go!" and runs out of tho house. Later that evening she finds Dan and tells him what has happened. He offers to take her to a friend's home but Cherry says, "Let's get married. To night!" ' ' . NOW GO ON WITH TUB STOIIY CHAPTER IX They were married a little before 10:30 that night by a Justice of the peafo In a dingy little room, of the court house. Bill Prlngle, who cov ered court house news and a man neither Cherry nor Dan had ever seen before, were the witnesses. Dan had appealed to Prlngle to help lo cato the clerk of courts to Issue the license. " it, was a ceremony entirely with out ' sentiment or any element of tho sacred. A few words mumbled In a wheezing, half-audible mono tone. Cherry, rather pale, still wearing the polo coat and her small brown hat. Dan's "I do" ringing clear and loud In the stillness. Ex cept for the small group In the clerk's office and two old men scrubbing the floor of the central corridor the court house seemed deserted. "I-hereby-pron ounce -you -man -and -wife" uang out the Justice. That was all there was to it. They were married I Dan placed a folded bill in the official's hand. He drew Cherry toward him and kissed her. There was some Joking that tho bride scarcely heord. Then she and Dan were outside In the night. BUI Prlngle stood beside them on the steps. "Well." he said golly, "now for the honeymoon! You two want a cab, don't you?" Ho held up two fingers, whistled shrilly and a cab that had been cruising down the opposite side of tho street swerved to tho curb. Dan and Cherry got into the cab. Prlngle waved and disappeared down the street. "The Blsmark hotel,' Dan In structed the cab driver. He Bald to Cherry, "It's all right, Isn't It? We'll find sorme place you'll like better in a day or two."' "It's all right, Dan, Of course." The Blsmark was less than a dozen blocks away. The streets seemed singularly quiet, for It was still early. In the darkness of the cab Cherry's face was barely visible, A misty blur of whiteness. Dan's arms gathered her close. "You darling!" he whispered. She raised her Hps for the kiss but at that moment the glaring rays of a Btreet lamp sheathed them with yellow electricity. The eab halted for n traffic signal. Happily the girl smiled up the him. ''My husband." She said the words &b though they were a litany. Dan's arm tightened. "You're going to be happy 1" he said almost sternly. "We're going to make a go of It, Cherry. I know I don't deservo anyone half bo sweet and fine as you are but I'm. going to mako you happy 1 Oh, you're so wonderful 1" The ecstacy was Interrupted abrupt ly as the cab Jolted to a stop. Cherry, stepping to the sidewalk, could scarcely believe that she. was the fin me girl who two hours earlier had left the hotel, frightened and miser able. She glanced at Dan and thought how handsome and depend able he looked. . . -.. j . And he was her husband I "Cap" Graham was still on duty at the hotel desk and Dan led Cherry forward. "I'd like to Introduce an old friend," ho said. "This 1b Mr. Gia ham. Generally known as 'Cap.' Cap I want you to know, my wife." "What? Say I'm glad, to meet you. Ma'am, But this Is a surprise! Why why, for' mercy sake! Ain't you the one who was here a while ago? I mean say I" Phillips grinned. "Take It easy, Cap. And aren't you going to con gratulate me. You'de the first one to heor the news." "You mean you've Just been mar bled? Well, say I Is . It really true?" "Certainly It's true." "Well, I declarel She's a pretty one, she is, though. And you've picked a good husband, too. Ma'am," the old man assured Cherry. "One of the finest! I want to congratu late both of you. Yes, sir. Indeed I do!" The outer door opened and Dan turned. At his half -smothered ex clamation Cherry whirled about. A dozen men and women, laugh ing and calling out gaily, crowded Into the hotel. They swarmed about Dan and Cherry. Bill Prlngle appeared to be in the lead. "Here they arel" the court house reporter cried. "Here's the bride and bridegroom. Look at 'em blush ing, folks! WJio's going to be first to kiss the bride?" Dan stepped out, smiling. "Just a minute," he protested. "Say. what is this anyhow?" "We'vo come to help you cele brate," put In a small girl wearing a green hat. "We're all going out to Casey's and we're going to take you with us. For goodness Bake, Dan, introduce us, can't you?" ; Phillips turned to Cherry. "Half w1Uj,m he said, grinning, "but they're harmless. My conferees of the well known News." "Well, gang," he faced the new comers, "this Is certainly n sur prise " "How about the surprise you pulled?" a bass voice called out. Others chorused. "Speech I Speech 1" "Nobody wants speeches," the girl In tho green hat protested. "This Is supposed to be a party " Dan -raised a hand. "Ladles and gentlemen," he began, "allow mo to present the one and only Mrs. Daniel Phillips, who has so graciously con sented to bear the name and share tho ancestral fortune of the house of Phillips J9.15!" Ho pulled out a trouser pocket, turning; It Inside. "Give 'em a bow, Cherry. .That's the girl!" There were cheers and applause. In a few moments all of them were outside. Cherry found herself wedged Into the rear seat or an automobile lntendedor five passengers and car rying eight. Dan was beside her and on the other side the girl in the green hat whoso name was Dixie Shannon. Tho name sounded familiar and Cher ry was sure she had seen it some where. She learned almost imrnetu- STOPy UAI COCHRAN L nco u.s.MT.orr.

"Any day you want. I'm always at the office around 10 o'clock. You can call me there." Cherry, a trifle bewildered, agreed. Alt of these strangers who laughed and Joked and suld such odd things were Dan's friends. She was sure they were trying to be cordial but she felt timid. Some of the things they said she scarcely understood. When Dan Joined in the Joking It made him seem almost a stranger, too, A half hour's ride brought them 10 a large apartment nouse. ine i Casevs lived on the second floor. I By elevator and staircase the crowd ! of 14 arrived at the door almost at the same time. Casey, so Dan Informed Cherry, was telegruph editor of the News. A minute later Bhe was being in troduced to Mr. Casey hlmsolf. She liked him Instantly for his gray hair and crinkly blue eyes and the way he smiled at tier, Sho liked Mrs. Casey, too, when Bhe up- pearcd a moment later. Mrs. Casey was plump and very pretty. 'Ap parently impromptu parties at the .Caseys were no novelty. j "Trying to steal a march on us, wero you?" Casey demanded of, Dam "Well, we couldn't let you get ' away with It. Lucky devil you are, ' though. Going to let me kiss the brlde?" I Ho did and somehow Cherry didn't mind. An angular youth In a dark suit had seated himself at a piano.

"As soon as I got hold of Fredericks (the clerk who had issued the license) I telephoned Shannon and Casey They got the vest together and met at tho office. When 1 knew you'd gone back to the Blsmark I gavo them a call. Prestothat's all there was to it I" Tho young man at the piano had been persuaded to bandon Lohen Dr In tn nrovlrin flcconinaniment for a ouartette. The singers' voices had more to recommend them In the way or volume than in tone. Tne quar tette attempted "Oh, Promise Me." i Z&'VWli'ZZS ' that they sang it twice.- There were four young women in . the crowd besides Dixie Shannon . Two were the wives of reporters, j A slim girl with red hair cut short ana wearing a taiiorea tweea suit I was Introduced as Doris Ware. I Someone told Cherry that Doris covered news assignments on an equal footing with the men and was considered one of the best fea- turo writers In Wellington. Cherry Was not sure she liked her. She thought Miss Ware rather reserved, j I Tho fourth girl was Connie Ran- dolph from the society department, a tall, slender brunet whose black satin frock outlined her figure, frankly. She had barely shaken honHo with nhAfrv nnrl lliAn ilHftnH flWav. Suddenly Cherry saw that rugs had been pulled back in tho next room and that COUpleS Were daUC- lny. She looked about again, rather t 0nTh0eraIynewasaiBlttlnB In tho far' .corner beside Connie Randolph. They seemed to bo in earnest conversation. Dlxlo Shannon's gaze followed Cherry's.

Connie was missing when they passed out the brains and she's been missing evor since I" ; Loud or sho said, "BUI, will you' tell Dan we want him over hero. Tell him to make It pronto." The words wero casual but Cherry thought that beneath this assumed air Dixie was displeased. Casey appeared bearing a tray with glasses and a plate of sand wiches.

AND that was right. Tho race track was an InlorosllnR place because the seats '.where all the monkeys sat were mado of limbs of Ircen. Tho monkey said, "The race Is set to starl. A thrill 'ou'ro go ing to get. Now, mako your selves real comfortable and sit down, if you please." A -smile soon spread on Hcouly's face.
