"You've got to find, her? Why Isn't Cherry at home?" "I haven't seen her for a week," Phillips admitted. "Cherry and I had a row. Oh, It was my fault! My fault altogether I I've got to find her and tell her I know that now " ' "But where is she?" - Dan did not answer. They had reached the Intersection of two Iny portant thoroughfares just as the traffic light flashed red. There was a drug store o the opposite corner. Dan touched Pearson's arm. . "Let mo out here." he said. "I've got to -telephone to Cherry." "But If you don't know where ehe Is how can you, do that?" "I'm going to call her home I mean her parents' home. That's where she must bo. Want to ask her if I can come out and talk to her. Don't you understand. Max? I've got to see Cherry! I've got to tell her a lot of things I" Pearson stopped the car. "All right." he said, "but make It snap py. I won't be able to park here all day. you know." Dan disappeared Into the drug store. It was several minutes be fore he emerged and when he did Olio look at Ills face was enough to tell that the mission had failed. Dan got Into tiio roadster. "She's not there," he said. "They haven't seen her or heard from her." "Then where do you think she is?" "I don't knowl I thought all along my Ood, Max, I've got to find her!" "Isn't it rather late to begin thinking about that? You said Cherry left Saturday. I must say, Dan " "Say It I Say anything you want tol I'll admit I deserve all you're thinking about me. Tell me I've been a damned fool I I don't care what you say if you'll help me find her. , She must be here In Welling ton. She wouldn't go away!" "Why -not? How about her par ents? Maybe she's with them." Dan shook his head. "I donft think so." he said. "Cherry's proud.

When she didn't I decided she really meant what she said about being through with me. I thought she wanted a divorce and I was going to give her ft chance to get it. Lord, but I've been a fool, Max I I've oh, If I could only find her. Talk to herl Maybe I, could make her understand maybe she'd give me another ohanee I" ; Pearson Interrupted. "Listen," he said, "I think Cherry's gone to her parents. You'd better try to get In touch with them. The truth is she telephoned me last Saturday. Told mo things weren't going very well. That's the reason I planned that movlo stunt and tried to get Brenda Vail out of town. I didn't want to see you and Cherry break up." "Her father and mother . are In North Carolina. Did she say she was gcing there?" . "No. she didn't say. so. I Just figured it out that way." "What shall I do. Max?" "Well, If I were you I'd send a wire. Do you know where to find her parents?" "They are at some hotel. They've beep, there a month or more. It's wait a minute I've got ltl" He named a hotel In the fash ionable North Carolina resort. "Why don't you wire the man agement of the place? That would bo less embarrassing. I Imagine, than trying to get in touch with her parents. Ask If Cherry Phil lips no. ask if Mr. and Mrs. Dix on's daughter is with them. That's the best way. Can't tell how she might be registered." "I'll do It!" Dim said. "Let's go to tho office. I'll send the wire j from there." I Forty minutes later In the city room of the Wellington News Dan his hand. It was a terse report that Cherry Phillips was not with her parents. Silently Dan handed the message to Pearson who read It and said, "Not there, huh?" - Pearson and Phillips were In a corner of the room otherwise de serted. The day stuff had departed and only half a dozen of the night men wero on hand. The click of a typewriter sounded monotonously from across the room. , Pearson rubbed his head. "We'll have to try again. Who are Cher ry's friends, Dan? Who could she be with if she hasn't left town?" "I've told you a doeen times I cau't think of anyone! Dixie Shan non didn't even know she was gone. There Isn't anybody ' "But there must fctl" Suddenly Pearson's fist hit the desk. "Look here, Dan, this may be serious! Has It occurred to you that Cherry's an heiress? Her father's money have you thought of that?" "What do you mean?" "I mean anything may have hap pened in a week's time! A beauti ful girl wealthy has been missing for seven days. Nobody knows what's become of her. Her parents the servants at her honue not a per son she might have been expected to communicate with lias heard a word from Iter. How do you know she hasn't boen kidnaped? Maybe there's been an aocldentl Why, In a week's time I" Pearson was on his feet. Hl6 dark faco had set Into a harsh mask. "What are you going to do. Max?" "Call tho bospttalsl You'd bet ter get on another phone and take part of the list I If we can't find her this way there's nothing left but the police" A telegraph messenger entered the swinging gate that shut the city room from the entrance way and came directly toward Pearson.' He held out a colored envelope. "Your -name's Pearson, isn't it?" the boy asked. Max was tearing the envelope open. Dan sprang to his side and together they read the words: "Sixty-five per week agreeable stop can you report here Saturday." Tho message was signed with the name of the city editor of an eastern newspaper. Pearson crum pled the sheet into his coat pocket. The boy asked, "Any answer?" Pearson hesitated an instant. "Not now," he sold and was on his way to tho telephone booth. There were no, reports from Well ington hospitals of accident , oases or patients who could be Identified as Cherry Phillips. Dan and Max tried tho hotels but the effort was equally unavailing. Suddenly Dan sprang up. He caught Pearson's shoulder. "I've Just thought of something!" he cried eagerly. "Yes I'll bet that's where sho Is. Max I Wliy didn't I think of it before , . "Why didn't you think of what?" "I'll bet she's with Sarah the woman who used to take care of her when she was a little girl. Sarah O'Pallon, that's her name I" "Where Is this woman? Let's get hold of her." r "I don't know where she Is.1 "But!" Dan's motion was drawn in tight, hard Une. His face was colorless, his voice sharpened. "I don't know where she Is," he said, I "but I'll find her. Sarah left when the Dixon's closed their house last : summer. She's somewhere not far I from here. Cherry used to get let ters. Letters! That's It there must bo letters I Come, Max!" It was a single flight up the street i level. Hatless, half-running, the two men reached the street. They sprang into a cab and Dan gave the address of tho apartments It was Dan sud denly who was taking the Initiative, who was .giving .orders and directing the search. '(.. ,. 'i..:,jv"'w'v'4'w-' "I don't know what you're going to do!" Max reminded him. "We'ro going out to the house to look for Cherry's letters. There must be some .from! Sarah. They'll glvo us the address." "Dan, I think It would be a lot more sensible to go to the chief 1 "Not until 1 find out whether or not she's with Sarah. Besides, what could tho police do? Cherry wouldn't want them Interfering. I can't J won't bellevo anythlng's happened to herl" Max glanced quickly at his com panion. Dan might say that he did not believe Cherry could be in dan ger. He might refuse to face that possibility, fight it off but Max knew it was that possibility that was grip ping Dan, that had set his chin in Its hard line and turned tne gray eyes Into blazing pits. Max said impulsively, "Of course not. We'll find her somehow. Cherry's all right." He didn't believe it; neither did Dan Phillips but Dan was gratoful for the words. He needed hope and encouragement then more than he had ever needed them in his life. Hope that Cherry was "all right" as Max had said. Encour agement that he could find her -and make her listen to the things he must tell her. Without this hope and encouragement but the black ness of such an abyss was unthlnk-' able! The cab halted. Max called, "Walt for us!" over his shoulder to the driver as he followed Dan up the steps. Now they were Inside the building, hurrying up the long stair case. Dan had whipped his keys from his pocket. He was fumbling in the half-darkness, trying to fit the key into the lock, when something caught his attention. He looked up, almost missed the tiny ' object half way up the stairs. With an exclamation he sprang forward.

Government High tost Is Arraigned At Banker 8 Meet LOS ANOELES, Oct. 7 ,(JP) The high cost of government was arraign ed again yesterday, and In caiistlo style, before the American Bankers association convention, which yester day denounced mounting taxes by resolution and oratory. Addressing the closing session, Paul Shoup, vice chairman of the South ern Pacific Railways company, in sisted that government expenses must he cut down and no new debts in curred if property values are to sur vive. . ' ' . He assailed existing tax burdens as almost confiscatory and said the "au tocratic power of taxation so widely exercised ' has approached socialists form and substance in its result." The remedy, he sold. Is to "stop spending." He referred to government spending. He described taxation as "the re sult of a number of people great or smalt concluding to pick the pock-jt of the Individual for the collective benefit,' and sold the national tax bill is greater than the entire princi pal amount of the war debts Euro pean countries owe the Qnlted. States. Installed as president Of the asso ciation. Francis H. Slason. Mew York banker, said In his acceptance speech there Is reason to believe tbe worst of the depression is past.
