CHAPTER XLVII
Pearson repeated Dan's ' words.'
"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.
I don't thiuk she'd go to her par

Before and After Using
Bluestem Flour
"r)T71"C1"TT71 she learned about Bluestem she
-D-Lii? JSXtll often had cakes that were heavy
and unevenly baked, and the very same recipe never
produced results twice alike.
TTI1?T someone told her that Bluestem Flour
JL IX Hill is a tested flour especially prepared
for cakes and all fancy baking and that it is always
the same fine quality, assuring uniformly delightful
results every time.

ents and well, admit that she'd
I made a mistake. I thought she'd
come back or at laat send some
word. 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.
