Do you un ' denund?" He hesitated, then went i on.vlth a sort of hushed breathless t neaa. "Here's what we're expecting. .'

He'll have a bunch of gorillas with him of course. The swell part 1b the tip Is absolutely ex clusive. I've got a photographer and the minute the train gets In we'll mop up the whole thing. 'Splosh it all over an extra! Boy. what a story t" Cherry's petulance was gone. "But Dan." she cried, "I'm afraid for you. If anything should happeu I" He scoffed at the idea. "There's nothing to worry about!" he as sured her. "Not In the least. I'm keeping close to my personal body guard, safe as a bug in a rug. Now promise me, noney, mai you u ao as I want you to. Be a good girl and go out aud have dinner. See a movie maybe. It's the 8:15 we're watchlhK especially, but he may come later and anyhow. I'll be tied up at the office for a while. Well, will you promise?" "Y-yes. But I'll be worried every mlnutel"- - . ' 1 .- Dan's laugh rang lit Cherry's ears as she put down the telephone. The girl was not smiling.

JU E.CAUSE. one of the most interesting , political campaigns in history is now in the making, and will come to its climax on election day - November 8 - everyone in Union and Wallowa counties will want to read the Observer regularly from now on in order to be informed as to the latest developments in all public affairs and thus be able to fast a really intelligent vote in 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 Instead Only Daily Newspaper in Union and man's wife. To know your husband might be in the path of a gunman's bullet and bo powerless to inter fere. To wait helpless while the one you loved moot in all the world was risking unknown dangers. Oh, how could she bear It I How could she wait here alone when at any minute something terrible might be hap pening to Dan? , . Ho had admitted It would be un safe for her. Tony Toscallil Even Cherry knew Toscnlll was consid ered the most dangerous and pow erful criminal in the United States. Public enemy No. 1. That was what they called htm. "Gorillas," Dan had said. What did he mean by that. Of course Tony Toscalll would not be arrested without resistance. Cherry vlsloned the scene. A dozen burly criminals with their : leader In their midst entering the station. The objecting officers. A sudden rain of bullets and the ter ; rifled shrieks of women and chil dren, Innocent victims falling. Cherry saw It all as in a motion picture. She saw Dan lying pale and lifeless 'I mustn't go on this way!" the girl told herself. "Of course he'll : bo all right. I only have to wait I an hour or so and then Dan will bo hero. He tpld me he'd be safe. I mustn't let myself imagine so much. I'll do as Dan said go out and have dinner and maybe he'll be here when I get back." To put this resolution Into practice Cherry crossed the room and snapped on the dressing table light. It was almost 6:30. The face that looked I back at her from the mirror was pale ' aud the dark eyes were shadowed by i circles. Cherry was wearing the dress ; sho had put on that morning. It was ! rumpled and altogether sho was any ! thing but the picture of a happy j bride. I "Dan mustn't see me like this," Cherry thought. "I can't go out looking such a fright!" i She drew cold water and bathed i her eyes. Then she took a quick shower, finishing with the water coming down like Icy needle pricks. I Wrapped In a roBe dressing gown ! she sat before the - mirror and ap : plied fragrant face cream and pow i der that left her skin liko warm ! ivory. A touch of lipstick, the dark ; curls brushed and tucked Into place, and then she was ready for . her frock. She was preoccupied and chose the green one she had worn jthe night before. During theMonth of of October as in Previous Years No matter how often she reasr sured herself, no matter how she tried to put her mind on other things, Cherry was worried " v . When she was ready to go she stopped long enough to write a note for Dan In cose he should arrive while she was away. It read: "Gone to the Maple Leaf tea, room. Be back a little after eight." She propped this against the pin cushion on the dressing table. Thon sho went downstairs and into the I street. The Maple Leaf tea room was two blocks away. Cherry had noticed It several times as she passed. It looked attractive and for some reason she i did not want to go alone to the res- I tauraut where she and Dan usually dined. There were several vacant tables at the Mnple Leaf. Cherry selected one at the side or tne room wun places laid for two. She glanced at the menu and told the waitress to bring the 75-cent special dinner. It would be all right and would prob ably be served more quickly than anything else. She could eat and hurry back to wait for Dan. A picture of Tony Toscalll seen In a newspaper photogravure sec tion flashed Into Cherry's mind. "Mnybo he's not reully so wicked," she argued with herself. "And maybe he won't cornel" The last was a really cheering thought. On the strength of It Cherry attacked the rather taste less, mildly warm croquette that had been set before her. She sam pled the creamed peas and found them more appetizing. "How do you do!" With genuine surprise Cherry glanced up. The words seemed to be addressed to her yet sho was sure sho must be mistaken. The young man who had spoken was not a dozen yards away. For a moment Cherry did not recognize him. Then sho saw that It was Garth HendrickB, a member of Wellington's younger social society crowd whom she knew as well as she knew any of the oth ers. She had met Hendricks at a Guild tea and once when she had been driving with Gretchen Alden they had given him a lift. "Why, hello, " Cherry said. "You surprised me. I wasn't expecting to sco anyone I knew." Hendricks smiled. "Mind If I sit down here?" he asked. ; ; 'fl loathe eating alone." As soon as she had Indicated that ho was welcome Hen Wallowa Counties dricks hurried, on, "I want to offer ray best wishes for your marriage and all! that, sort of thing. You know I've met your husband Fiuo fellow." "Do you know, Dan?" . "Ye, I'm working on the Sen tinel. Met him over at headquar ters," HendrickB explained that for two months he had; been serving his ap prenticeship as a cub reporter. He said somo day he hoped to be a columnist. ' "Don't you ihlnk it's a great game?" ho asked. "Don't you get a kick out of newspaper life?" "Oh, I don't know. I did for a while, but there ore so many dan gers. I wish I could persuade Dan to do something else." "What? Say. there's nothing dan gerous about It!" "I don't see bow yon can say that, I'm .nearly crazy right this minute worrying about Dan. If he didn't work on a newspaper he'd be here with mo Instead of risking his life with that terrible Tony Toscalll. "What makes you think he's with Tony Toscalll?" "He told me himself. I don't know If he's actually with him, but I know he expects to be. He's down at the union station waiting for Toscalll's train to get In. They're goiug to try to arrest Tony and if they do there'll be shooting and someone will be hurt. I don't sco how I'm going to stand ltl I'm al most wild I" He lid ricks Interrupted to ask ques tions. Smoothly he tried to reas sure her. Of course she was ex aggerating the affair. There was no likelihood that even Tony Toscalll would start a shooting fray In the union station. She was imagining things that could not happen. Cherry listened eagerly. It was encouraging to hear someone elso say the things sho had tried to con vluco herself were true. She was dlsuppolnted when, a few minutes later. Hendricks said blandly: "I'm sorry, but I'vo got to rush away. Just remembered I was to meet a man at the Wellington. Nice to have seen you again, Mrs. Phil lips. Goodby." It was after he was gone that Cherry realized what she had done. Sho had told Dan's big story to a Sentinel reporter. Did Hendricks really mean that he was going to meet someone or was he at this very minute talking to his city editor?
