When ;herry learns Dan's telephone jjaewnges have been kept from her he steals out of the house to ;3tneet him- . Her father discovers this and threatens to send her to California.

The ceremony is per formed that night by a Justice of 'Jwace. friends of Dan's stage a !jrty for them. Next day Cherry, who has only the dress she is .'Wearing, goes shopping. She opens charge account and the bill to tals 903.70. She is ashamed to tell .Dan of' this extravagance. Her ! maid cojnes to see her next morn ;lng and promises to send Cherry's clothes. -Cherry takes her i pur chases back to the store. That f night Dan tells her Max Pearson ' will urrlve the next day. KOW GO ON WITH TUG STOHV . chapter xin 'Cherry put down her cup of coffee and raised her eyes to Dan's. "Wrlo W Max Pearson?" she asked. -"Mean to say you don't why, say. ' hyen't I ever told you about Max?" 'No, t don't think so. Who is he?.',' 'Well, that's funny 1" Phillips , looked at the girl across the table and marveled that he and Cherry who had come to mean so much to each other could have gone on for years knowing different people, go ing different places! talking about different things and never encoun ' tering each other. It was almost Impossible now to think of himself " -as havnaf an existence seperate ' from "Cherry's or her having an ex Isience separate, from his, 'Wax fs a great boy," he told her enthusiastlcaHy. -, 'I know you'll like 'Mm.

Max 1ms been in a hos- fitul. Operated oa for appendlcl ls about a month ago. - 81 nee then he's been down state with some relatives. Getting along o.. k. I guess. Anyhow he's coming back to work tomorrow." . J3he could tell by the light In Dan's eyes that Max Pearson was more than an ordinary acquaintance; Cherry said: "Of course If he's a trlend of yours I'll like him. Toll me about him;" "WelU you have to know Max to really appreciate him. He Isn't liko other people. I mean he's bril liant and some people think he's hard-boiled and cynical, but that's because they don't understand him. I Give his last dime for a friend. Max would. Lots of nights we've Bat! around talking until two or three; o'clock. Just talking. Max thinks j our economic system 1b all wrong. He's a pacifist too and dead against ! war. ttomeumes wnen ne a in wie mood for it he'll quote you poetry by the hour. Keats and Kousman and Swineburne. Knows them all " "But I'd be afraid to talk to any one who knows so much!" Cherry protested. "No you won't. You'll like him. You see old Max Is real. He doesn't just fake this literary racket. Some day he'll write a great novel. He's read everything but that doesn't mako him high hat. You'll be crazy about hinv I know you Willi" "Well, I hope he'll like me." "As though anyone could help thatl I'll admit Max doesn't care much for most girls. Never goes , around with them. Down at the of fice they call him a 'woman hater but he'll go for you all right 1" For another 10 minutes Dan sang the praises of his friend. Cherry, lis tening, thought Max Pearson must certainly be unlike anyono she knew. Thero were still doubts In her mind that she would be quite comfortable talking to a person of so much learn ing. Then she put the whole mat ter aside as unimportontt What really counted was that for a few hours she and Dan were to be 'together. They finished their coffee, left the restaurant and strolled. out on the street considering how to spend the evening. Dan suggested they : might rent a car at one. of those 1 "drive-it-yourself" agencies .and take Tell your neighbors that ., TO EiCAUSE one of : the most, interesting political camiiaigns iii history is now in the making, and will come to its climax oti election day - November 8 - everyone in Union and Wallowii counties will want to read the Observer regularly from how on in order to be informed as to the latest developments iri all public affairs and thus be able to cast a really intelligent vote iri the local as well as the state and presidential elections. ND in order to accommodate those people who are not at present taking the Observer, but are planning to take ad vantage of our annual bargain offer in order to start their sub scription again, we are holding the annual Only Daily Newspaper in U mon und a spin out on Stewart road. Or would Cherry like to drop in to see the Norma Shearer picture? ' How about dancing? . . . Cherry voted " for none of those thin cm. Thv AAttlori th nroblem i by boarding a double-deck open air dus and oi mining me perilous cyan-j drical stairway to tho top deck. They found seats near the rear. The seat across the : aisle was vacant so there was no oho to notice when j Dan's am slipped about Cherry. I Her soft, fragrant hair blew against his cheek and Dan's arm tightened, drawing her close. The other passengers, sitting two . by two, were mostly boys and girls as young-looking as Dan and Cher- , ry. Each couple seemed oblivious to the others. Overhead In a sky of midnight velvet the stars smm-. mered and twinkled as though sym-l polio of all the gems by which lovers since time began have plighted ; their troth. Great planets, glowing with fiery radiance. Cool, silvery star spray made up of Infinitesimal, I un Imaginary distant worlds. Stars aud the night breeze and darkness blotting out unpleasant t realities. The bus top, Jolting over city pavement, became young love's paradise. I , Dan's Hps brushed the forehead of the girl beside him. Her hand, stealing Into his, clung warm and 1 trusting. "Pyn. isn't It?" she .whispered. "Great!" I They rode to the end of the bus ' lino and then back again. The girl who had seen spring cast Its maglo over Paris boulevards, whose j costume was. the exact and expen-t sivo duplicate of a French original j and the young man who had been farm hand, book salesman, wno naa i 'bummed the rails" and once stood In a breadline, held hands and smiled into each other's eyes during j mo iu L'Viib uu nuo CAuuLiy ixa Hun dreds of other- sweethearts in hun dreds of other cities were doing. "It was lovely," Cherry said soft ly as they returned to tho hotel. "Let's take the same rldo again soon." Later she and Dan checked ad dresses in the want ad pages that might prove to be desirable apart ments. Cherry was anxious to leave tho hotel, to have a home they could feel was distinctly their own. She was going to learn, to cook and do all her own housework. Cherry knew hpwto preside with, dignity at a tea Mm During theMonth of Instead of October as in Previous Years table. She could distinguish choice caviar from Inferior and order a per fect luncheon from a menu card In French. As to acual cooking she naa never so mucn as oouea an egg or made a pot of coffee. unerry aumuiea ner iacic oi housewifely knowledge. It was a standing .joke between herself and Dan. That she could learn to man age a home quickly and easily slio had not the slightest doubt. , "Well, honey," Dan told her, "I'm not so bad at flapjacks and fried eggs. I'll give you lessons. Woman. I can mako Java that will curl your hair!" With the want ad list folded away In her purse Cherry set out next morning to . look at apartments. There were two desirable residence neighborhoods in Wellington. Sher wood Heights, the nftwt exclusive, was out of tho question, not only because of expense hut because Cherry's parents lived there. East wood, on the opposite side of town, boasted the newest and most at tractive apartment buildings. Cher ry knew several members of the Ju nior Guild who lived in Eastwood. She decided to look there, first. Dan had been afraid the prices might be too high for, them but Cherry sold it could do no harm to look. . She knew exactly the sort of place she wanted. It must be fur nished because buying furniture would tako time and besides Dan was opposed to going into debt. Mentally Cherry pictured the cozy, studio-type of living room. It should bo large enough for one cud to serve as tho dining room. A little kitchen off at one side. The bed room might be small, or with the right kind of couch they could even do without a bedroom; Furniture that was slmulo and comfortable. Bright chlnta would be nice. And thero should be a fireplace The vision was attractive. Cherry hoped to locate such quarters for $45 a month. Don had. been paying $40 at the Blsmark and they had sot $50 as the absolute maximum. One fourth of their income seemed all that could be devoted to the Bluglo Item of rent, . . . "Oh, I don't think It wlU bo hard to find," Cherry had assured Dan as she bid him goodby In the morn ing. "There must be lots of nice places and I'll Just look around and pick out the best." It was 10 o'clock when Cherry loft thehoU' ) Sho hoarded a street Wallowa Counties WW1EM car that would take her to the neighborhood of Eastwood. She missed the green roadster In which sne .coma nave driven the distance In half the time. Well the road ster was part of a life she had left behind. Following the street car conduc tor's directions Cherry left the car and walked two blocks to tho first address on her list. She had se lected It because tho name of the building, "The Elmsmere." attract ed her and because the building fuoed an Eastwood park, , "The Elmsmere" was a dignified brick building with a tastefully fur nished entrance. Cherry liked It. "I've come to look at the apart ment you're advertising," Bhe told me custodian. 'Which one, ma'am? The five 1 room or three? Cherry said It was the three-room ' apartment In which she was Inter- ( ested. . 1 hey rode In an automatic el.- down a corridor. Tift custodian turned a key, opening the door. "Here It Is," he said, "and not a better value to be had In the city. Two windows in this room. A good sissed closet. The whole place, floors and walls, Just reflhlshed. There's a wall bed. Everything In tho kitchenette Is first class and If you like we can furnish maid service at (3.50 a half day. There's an elec tric refrigerator. You can have this suite at $110 or unfurnished at $05." The man had rattled off his speech in a singsong tone. Cherry turned startled eyes on him. I "How much?" she asked, lncrcd-. ulous. . . "It's 110 furnished or 95 unfur- nlshed." . "You mean .110 a month!" The man laughed. "Why, suro, ' lady. What did you think I meant? This Is a fine location and vacan- eles fill up quickly here. Of course nil uur ujMi.uu aigu tt jcur icuw. j Wo just have tills one and the five room suite " . . I Cherry Bald rather hurriedly that she'd look further and return if sho found nothing she liked better. Sho even . wrote down the custodian's telephone number, feeling hypocrlt- ; leal as she did so. Outside the build ing she breathed a sigh of relief. A hundred and ten dollars for a stuffy little box like thatl She couldn't believe people paid such - (Continued from Page 'Six) CLASSIFIED ADS -'TUB MAIIKBT PLACS OP UNION WALLOWA COUNTIES (Count flvs average word. to th. lino.)

Stdehli : Speaks For Trucks The saving to tho poopio by lower freight rates miido possible through the uso of trucks Is moro than enough to equal the taxes pala by the rail roads. Is the opinion of Ralph J. Staehll, of the Allied Truck Owner, of Portland. Mr. Staobll was a vis itor In La arande yesterday and call ed tt the Observer, of which he was Joint owner-With Clark S. Letter In 1018 and 1910. The proposed freight truck and bus bill Is an effort on the part of' tho railroads, he declares; to' raise the freight rates of which the trucks have been the 'makers,1 If 'the1 bill passes, the rates will lit all prob ability rlso as they did when a sim ilar bill was passed In Texas, ho said. "The trucking Industry does not oppose reasonable regulation," ; he adds, "and favors weight and speed restrictions that safeguard human Ufo and protect highways from dam ago since the Industry's very exjlsE- cuco Is dependent on highways that may bo used at minimum operating cost." However, It violently object to strangulation by proxy, railroads, afraid to como out In the open, scek ing to Impose their autocratic will on the truck by Violating tho spirit , of Oregon's Initiative law," he' said.
