As toucnea tier cheeks with the pink md from her rouge box Cherry was aa careful as she bad ever been when ore sting for an engagement with an before their marriage. She made her mouth Into a Tind rosebud with lipstick. She cut on a brown frock, ad justed tbe little hat smartly and slipped into her polo coat. A bright scarf relieved the -somber monotone. Cherry took a last glance into the mirror. Her eyea glowed with anti cipation. Yes. she was satisfied with her appearance. If she met anyone she knew at blarney a she need not Icel ashamed. The ride down town on the trolley required only 13 minutes but Cherry allowed herself more than that She left the bouse nromutly at 12 o'clock and 20 minutes later hsd reached the library. Naturally Dan waa not In Bigot, tie -woum probaoiy be late. Cherry walked leisurely along the block. The day was colder than she had realized and she pulled the collar of her coat ennshr about her throat, A woman wearing a handsome mink wran passed and Cherry tboucht rue- fully of the beaver coat that had been a gift on her last birthday. Tbe coat was in storage and if Mrs, Dixon had been at home she would probably have Insisted on Cherry wearing It. Uherry promptly forgot about the fur cont. Two young men were crossing the street and tor moment she thought one of them was Dan. lie wasn't The youth turned his head and she saw be was a stran ger. A glance at her wrist told Cherry that it was still too early to expect her Jtuaband. rsot yet 12:30. She took another turn to the end of 1he block and back agnin. Tbe street was filling gradually with the soon day crowd. Business men hurrying from officea. Tall girls, alim girls, fat girls. All of them appeared to be j wearing new fall finery. On their way no doubt to meet "dates." Youths who would presently meet these girls or others like tbem joined the pro cession. There were older women, errand boys, men with faces worn dull by years of routine. Yt all of these faces showed relief. The half holiday bromrht an air of bustle and festivity to the street. Still Dan Phillips was nowhere In sight Cherry searched eagerly from left to right The crowd swirled past and new faces came Into view constantly, ft was after 12:S0. Cherry took her post directly beside the library en. trance and decided to wait there. The alarming possibility came to mind that in this crowd she might miss Dan. Phe had never failed to meet him before. Today of all daya that would be a calamity! She stood on tiptoe peering over the crowd. Nobodv seemed to no tice her and she felt as though shV were at the center of a merry-go-round. The men and women hurry ing past her might have been carried oy some mechanical force. Twelve thirty-live. 12:40. 1 o'clock. There were fewer pedestrians now. Cherry s eyes were dark with alarm. "I should have reminded him!" she told herself. "I should ha telenhoned." Still she would not give up hope that Dan would come. It was 20 minutes after l-el-most an hour past the time she and Dan were to meet. Cherry raised one hand and brushed the mist from her eyes. No use to wait longer. No use to hope against hope that the next moment would bring htm. He wasn't coming. He had forgotten about herl Suddenly Cherry felt a hand on her arm. She whirled, her face lighting with happiness. "Oh !" she exclaimed and bor Hps moved to form Dan's name. But It wasn't Dan Phillins who smiled down at her. Max Penrson stood there. He said easily, Hall, stranger, WhareVe you been keep ing yourself?" Cherrv's reply was a confused mur- mnr. She heard Pearson speak again, without knowing what the words were. She heard him say something nbout luwh and was aumrlsed to find herself walking down the street beside him. entering the dining room of the Hotel Wellincton. They sat at a small table. Cherry turned her head and suddenly her eyea focused on a fignre across the room. For a moment the figure blurred nnd the room ewnm before her. Then the outlines steadied them selves. It was oh, It ATA 9! Dan was sittine at a table not dozen yards away, leaning forward In earnest conversation, and the woman faring him was Brenda vail.
