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-

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

Casey, so Dan Informed Cherry,

She liked him Instantly for his

I Someone told Cherry that Doris

Was not sure she liked her. She
thought Miss Ware rather reserved, j

frankly. She had barely shaken
