YES, but, Alix," Cherry argued
eagerly, I'm not well when I'm un-
happy. My heart is like lead all the
time; can't seem to breathe Peo-
ple--isn't it possible that people are
different about that?' she asked

thoughtfully. Anyway, look at all
the fuses in history" she added care

misunderstanding on just the fact that
a man and woman hated each other

what I do understand" she added, af-
ter a moment, when Cherry, choked
with emotion. was silent, "is that Dad
would die of grief if he knew you were
unhappy. that your life was all broken
up in disappointment and bitterness |"
"But is that my fault?" Cherry ex-
claimed, with sudden tears.
Alix, after watching her for a trou-
bled minute, went TO her and put her
arm about her Don't cry, Cherry!"
she pleaded sorrowfully.
Cherry. regaining self-control, re-
sumed her work silently, with an oc-
casional sudden sigh. She had opened
the subject with reluctance; now she
realized that they had again reached
a blank wall.
Three Gays after their talk in the
moonlit garden Peter found chance
to speak alone to Cherry.
Are you readyY' he asked
"Quite.' she said, raising blue eyes
to his.
Its tomorrow, then, Cherryw he
said.

from her face as she echoed him. This

in a splendid wave of flame, and the
face that she turned toward his was
radiant with proud surrender.
He told her the number of the dock;
they discussed trains.

gangplank. You have your baggage
check; give it to me-"
They were waiting in the car while
Alix marketed. Cherry opened he1
purse and gave him the punched card
board.
"Tll tell Alix that I have a last
dentist appointment at half-past ten"
she said. "If she goes in with me,
We'll go to the very door. But she
says she can't come in tomorrow, any
way. I'll write her tonight, and drop
the letter on the way to the boat. To-
morrow, them" was Cherry's only an
swer. "Fm glad it's so soon"
"Good-by" said Cherry, leaning
over the side of the car to kiss her
sister. Alix received the kiss, smiled
and stretched in the sun.
Heavenly day to waste in the city"
said Alix.
Il know" Cherry said nervously.
She had been so strangely nervous
and distracted In manner all morning
that AliX had more than once asked
her If there was anything wrong. Now
she questioned her again.
'You mustn't mind me-" Cherry
said with a laugh. I'm desperately
unhappy" she said, her eyes watering.
"Td do anything in the world to help
you, Cerisel" Alix said sympathet-
ically.
II know you would. Sis believe"
Cherry said, trembling, that there's
nothing you wouldn't give mel"
That's easily said" Alix answered
carelessly, "for I don't get fond of
things, as you do! My dear, I'd go OFF
with Martin to Mexico in a minute.

the dog leaped to his place on the front
seat and licked his mistress ear.
Alix embraced him lovingly.
"Well-if he wanted to go with
you !" she conceded unwillingly. But
he wouldn't" she added quickly.

an April smile, and as she took her

! be to tell him that what they had
planned was impossible.
But on the deck of the Sausalito
steamer, dreaming in the sunshine OF
the soft, lazy autumn day, her heart
AliX was forgotten, everything was
forgotten except Peter. His voice, his
tall figure, erect, yet moving with the
little limp she knew so well, came to
her thoughts. She thought of herself
on the other steamer, only an hour
from now, safe in his care, Martin for
gotten, and all the perplexities and
disappolntments of the old life for
gotten, in the food of new security
and JOY Los Angeles--New Orleans
France-it mattered not where they
wandered; they might well lose the
world, and the world them, from today
on.

the blamed and ignored women"
Cherry unused, leaning on the rail
and watching the plunge of the re-
ceding water. Like the heroines of

so bold and so frightful in books

rejoicing to find herself suddenly
serene and confident.
1t was twenty minutes past ten,
warm, sweet morning, with great hur-
rying back and forth at the ferry,
women climbing to the open seats of
the cable cars, pinning on their violets
or roses as they climbed. Cherry sped
through it all, beside herself now with
excitement and strain, only anxious to
have the great hands of'the clock drop
more speedily from minute to min
ute and so round out the terrible hour
that Joined the old life to the new.
She was hurrying blindly toward the
dock of the Los Angeles line, absorbed
in her one whirling thought, when

CHAPTER XIV.

Swept along by a passionate excite
ment that seemed actually to consume
her, Cherry lived through the next
three days. Alix noticed her mood,
and asked her more than once what
caused it. Cherry would press hot
cheek to hers, smile with eyes full Of
pain, and f1utter away. She was well,
she was quite all right, only she-she
was afraid Martin would summon her
soon-and she didn't want to go to
him!
Suspecting something gravely amiss,
Alix tried to win her confidence re-
garding Martin. But briefly, quickly,
and with a sort of affectionate and
apologize Impotence, Cherry refused
to discuss him.
II shall not go back to him !" she
said, breathing hard, and with the air
of being more absorbed in what she
was doing than what she was saying.
But do you mean that you are
really going to leave him?" the older
sister questioned.
Il don't know what I'm going to
do" Cherry half sobbed.
"But, dearest-dearest, you're only
twenty-four: don't you think Won
might feel better about it as time goes
on?' Alix urged. Now that the
money is all yours, Cherry, and you
can have this nice home to come to
now and then, isn't it differentT

said.

can't people who don't love each other
live together in peace?" she added,
with a half smile.
"N-n-ot as man and wife," Cherry
stammered.
Alix sat back on her heels, in the I'M
graceful fashion of her girlhood, and
shrugged her shoulders.
"Think of the people who are wor-
rying themselves sick over bills, or
sick wives, or children to bring up"
she suggested hopefully. my Lord, If

Plans for the erection of a

to be used as a social center for

additional Sunday school class
rooms on the Sabbath were con-
sdered Sunday by officers Of the

hut would not only be used for
the social activities Of the
church through the week, but
others Of the city would be in
vited to make use Of the struc-
ture whenever it happened to be
available.
The plans Of the officers will,
in all probability, be formally
presented to the congregation at
an early date and there is little
doubt but that the sanction of
the membership will be forth

but that the local church will be
enabled to function with more
success if the plan is adopted.
