f. Cherry Dixon. 19 and pretty,
. . ?ftlls In ..love with pan Phillips,
newspaper reporter whom her
firettUhy; aristocratic parents have
. "forbidden her to see. . 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. Cherry defies him
'and ho. order her tq leave. .
(. . Bhe goes to Dan, tells him what
'has happened and asks him to
taarry her. 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.

'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. Pa works on the News
rewrite man. And, boy, can he
wgltcl - Pne ofi the 'best newspaper
men In town. Come to think of it,
It's not so strange if I haven't men
tioned him . 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

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

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

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

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

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?

Cherry said It was the three-room '
apartment In which she was Inter- (

down a corridor. Tift custodian
turned a key, opening the door.
"Here It Is," he said, "and not a

tric refrigerator. You can have this

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-

"You mean .110 a month!"
The man laughed. "Why, suro, '

Ralph J. 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. ' -
