not broken until Cherry spoke.
Her voice sounded flat and un
natural. Sho said, "Dan,- I waited
nonrly an hour "
"Waited? It's no later : than the
time I usually got hero."
"I mean at noon. At the library.!
Don't you remember we were to
have lunch together?"
The young man's face was hidden
by the newspaper. '-Sorry," he said.
"I forgot. Couldn't have made it
anyhow because I was tied up on a
story. They're short a couple men
again at the office."
So he chose to Ho about it I He
thought he could deceive her with
the usual excuses. Cherry sat - up
dttffly, her hand3 clasped, fingers
pressing into the flesh.
"I I saw you, Danl" she sold.
;The newspaper dropped and Phil
lips regarded her curiously. "What
are you talking about?"
"I saw you at the Wellington.
You were having lunch there with
Urenda Vail."
"Oh, you did!"
Their eyes met like swords,
pointed and flashing. Cherry could
not endure it. She could not face
the anger and hostility that burned
lr Dan's gaze. He must hate her to
look at her that way r
'"All ' .rjght," Dan said evenly.
"Suppose I was at the Wellington!

Banking is simply a unit operation in business a ser
vice link in the financial- activity of every person and
every concern. Naturally, there are many details con
nected with the handling of incoming and outgoing
funds which have made banking seemingly mysterious.
This bank, among other members of the Oregon Bank
ers Association, is going to use its advertising space
each week to describe various purposes' and uses of
the bank, feeling quite sure that better acquaintance
ship leads to added utlity and to better serviceability.
When you realize that there is hardly a person who
docs not have some kind of financial transaction each
day each transaction being related to the payment or
receipt of money you appreciate your close relation

She sank to the davenport and
burled her head In the oushlons.
Cherry was weeping uucon t rolled -ly
now. Her nhouldcrs rose and
sank with great shaking sobs.
For a moment Phillips stood look-j
Ing down at her. Then he crossed I
the room, picked up his coat and
hat. An Instant later the hall door
opened) and shut. i
Cherry did not know bow ,long, she
lay there. She knew Dan had gone
but sho did not stir. Gradually her
sobbing became more quiet and then
stopped altogether. She got to her
feet, crossed the room and fumbled
mechanically in a bureau drawer for
a fresh handkerchief. Her -eyes were
swollen and red. Cherry -caught a
gllmpso of herself In the mirror and
was shocked for an Instant because
she did not recognize herself.
Upstairs tho radio was still turned
on and a man was singing. 4A crooner
whoso weekly salary was j fabulous.
The' song was a popular , one and
Cherry had heard it often before. The
words were appropriate: '
"After I was sold on all tho tales
you told
Didn't you let your kisses, turn from,
hot to cold?
Was that the human th.ng.r"
The song ended on a dissonant
note. Perhaps the owner of the ra
dio disliked the ballad or perhaps
he was only leaving the apartment
to go to a belated dinner; At any
rate the radio was silenced.
It was curious how that silenco
affected the working of , Cherry's
mind. She was still dazed by the

"You see. your candy wan so good

You don't look very strong."
"Oh, don't mind him," 'the zoo

"The last piece always makes him

let him snooze. He'll wake again
at dawn."
.
AND then the zoo man added.
"8ay, 'tis almost at the end of
day. Why don't you Tlnies also
sleep? I'll watch o'er all of you.
"I am not tired, so don't you fret.

Tho words shaped themselves In
her consciousness. She said them,
over to herself and yet they meant
nothing. Dan was gone. He wasn't
coming back again. He dldu't love
her hod never loved her.
Cherry began to move about the
room nervously. She picked up the
newspaper Dan had thrown aside,
folded It and placed It on tlio table.
Sho straightened tho cushions on
tho couch.
"But I can't stay hero." she told
hersolf suddenly. "I've got to do
something go away. I've got to
make plans!"
All at once sho was consumed
with feverish onergy. Sho pulled
on her hat and coat, caught up
gloves. Then she was hurrying, al
most running down the stairs.
"Telephone," was the word that
repeated itself in Cherry's mind.
Yes, site must find a telephone.
Thero was one on the table in tho
entrance hall but she swept past It.
Out in tho night the. cold wind
struck her face and blew her coat
back. She bent against tho wind,
walking rapidly.
It was almost an hour later that
.Cherry stood in the telephone booth
of a corner drug store. She gave a
number,, waited for the answering
voice. It came at last,

The zoo man said, "My, how you

If you all wish to ride on It. there's
room enough for all to sit. I'll
hitch some little wild beasts up and
they will pull you far."
The fiatcar was a sight to seo.
Said Coppy, "This appeals to me!"
"All right," replied the zoo man.
"Hop aboard, you Tinymites." And
then he hitched strange beasts up
tight and everything seemed quite
all right. The happy lads were
shortly on their way to see new
sights.
