twenty years. One of the finest men

when Cherry convinces her that she
will be happy as the old mans wife.
Cherry, strange mixture of saint
and sinner confesses to Faith,
whom she loves devotedly in spite
of her selfishness, that she is marry
ing Cluny to save herself from the
disaster of becoming Chris W1ley's
wife.
The newspaper announcement of
the engagement of the city's richest
and most famous lawyer and of the
little Myrtle st. belle" brings down
the wrath of the Cluny tribe. This
old man has a son, Alexander Cluny;
grandson, Ralph, Jr.; a daughter,
Mrs. Seymour Albright, and
granddaughter, Muriel Albright.
Alexander Cluny, a prominent cor
poration lawyer, secretly hires Lola
Gonzales, Bob Hathaway's stenog-
rapher, and her crook brother, Pete
Gonzales, to blackmail Cherry with
anonymous letters, in an attempt to
brighten her out Of the engagement.
Bob and Faith discover the plot
annd confront Alexander C1uny with
his perfidy. No further opposition
is openly made to the marriage by
the Cluny clan, and plans for the
big church wedding go ahead
swiftly.
Faith, her heart almost breaking
with love and pity for the lovely
little sister who is about to spoil her
life by marrying a man old enough
to be her grandfather, helps Cherry
to get ready for the wedding, then
leaves the girl in her room to COM
plete her dressing while she as
sists her mother and father and JOY,
who are to leave early for the
church in George Fruits car. Bob
Hathaway, to whom Faith is now
secretly engaged, is to escort his
uncle, the bridegroom, to the
church, while Faith and Cherry are
to be called for at quarter to nine
by Mr.. Cluny's chauffeur, in the
Cluny limousine.
At a few minutes after half past
eight, Faith discovers that Cherry
has fled the house through her
opened bedroom window, leaving all
her wedding clothes, the Jewels that
Mr.. Cluny had given her, and
scrambled, hysterical note of fare
well, which tells nothing Of her
plans, except that she is fleeing from
marriage with Mr.. Cluny.
Distracted, Faith rushes to the
church and while she is telling her
astonishing news to the dimayed
rector, Bob Hathaway comes in, hat
less and coatless, his face stamped
with horror, bringing the news that
Ralph Cluny has been murdered and
that Cherry had called on him about
$50. Faith and Bob are then taken
by the police to the CluHy house for
questioning by Chief Of Police More
house, and the wedding guests dis
persed Cherry has disappeared,

And yet any close observer of the
Lane home life might have guessed
that fate, in giving to Jim and Mar
tina Lane such a Bird of Paradise as
lovely little Cherry Lane-Cherry
of the copper-and- gold curls, of the
strangely fascinating topaz eyes, Of
the cream-and-apricot complexion,
of the miniature Venus body had
marked the family for drama.
For fate, in fashioning little
Cherry in all her exquisite liveli-
ness, had neglected to give her a
sober sense of responsibility, had al
most left conscience out of her de-
lightful makeup.
Cherry Is as out of place in the
little Myrtle St. cottage of six
shabby, cramped, meanly furnished
rooms as a queen in howell. And
yet the other Lanes are ordinary
Afolks-salt of the earth. There is
HMrs. Lane, fat, middle-aged, a
chronic semi invalid, afflicted with
heart trouble and obesity, inclined
to nag her family, even while she
loves them devotedly.
There is Jim Lane. the husband
and father, small, stoop-shouldered,
kindly, a carpenter, who has become
a contractor on small scale. There
is Jim Junior, o. nicknamed Long"
Lane because of his height, Iowa
BILE, irresponsible, rather wild young
man.
And there is Faith, 20I the main
stay of the family, a tall splendidly
built girl, but not pretty in the
fiapper fashion. And finally there
is 9-year-old Joy, plain, sharp
tongued, clever little girl who has
an embarrassing habit Of ferreting
out all of Cherry's and Longs"
secrets.
Cherry fits her gay irresponsible
way from job to Job as a stenogra-
pher until she lands in the offices Of
Cluny and Neff, famous criminal
lawyers, where she Is secretary to
old Mr.. Ralph Cluny, 6S, a man of
great wealth and renown in the, mid
dle-western State in which the story
is laid.
Cherry is always falling in love,
always becoming engaged, while
Faith has never cared deeply for any
man until she meets Bob Hathaway
nephew of Mr.. Cluny, and a promis-
ing young architect. Or course Cher
rvs gayety and beauty fascinate Bob
and he was exaltedly happy when
she accepted him. He had a rude
awakening, however, when Faith
calls on him to help rescue Cherry
from an elopement with Albert Ettle-
Bon, married travelling salesman. He
is further disillusioned when he
finds that the girl has also been en-
gagged for months to Chris Wiley, a
disreputable young roue, over whom
an unfortunate girl has killed her
self and her child.
Just when Faith Is willing to make
the supreme sacrifice of urging Bob
to marry the gil to save her from
herself and from Chris Wiley, Cher
ry throws a bomb into the family
by announcing her engagement to
old Mr.. Cluny, her rich employer
Jim Lane tries to prevent the en-
gagement, but Mrs. Lane, dazzled by
the old mans fortune and his courtly
manners, is delighted especially

Cleveland Jobless
Have Hard Lot at
Employment Office

CLEVELAND, o., June Isl spent
three hours at the city employment
office and counted SAB able-bodied men
going into the basement looking for
any kind of labor at any price.
There was just one job to be given
out and nearly $50 men to take it.
The prize was corralled by one who
appeared as strong as an OK. I tried
to strike conversation with him and
was for a time unsuccessful.
He was to get four days hard labor
at 40 cents an hour. He told me he
had been to the employment office
every day for % days.
There are two city officers on duty
during employment hours to keep or
der and pick the workers. The city
officers give orders in genuine Custer
style. They are officious to a superla-

Spanish Dictatorship
Jails Constitutional
Plotters Against 1t

PARIS, June %. - About 200 men
are imprisoned by order of Primo de
Rivera, the Spanish dictator, for an at
tempt to stage a coup d'etat by repub-
lican forces, chiefly, to overthrow the
dictatorship and re-establish the con-
stitutional rights suspended" now for
three years by De Rivera, according
to reports coming thru the strict Span
ish censorship.
The attempt had not yet broken into
action when the plot was discovered
and the leaders jailed or placed under
surveillance. Among those jailed are
the former republican deputies Mer-
celino, Domingo, Barriovero and other
political leaders of the so-called liber-
al school. 1t is understood that not
only prominent civilians, but many
army officers took part in the plot.
The army officers regard De Rivera
with suspicion since his attempt to
infringe on their junta rule of the
army. The dean of the Spanish gen
erals, Valerano Weyler, is reported
deposed as chief of staff and ordered
to stay within bounds of his estate on
the Balearic isles.

Strike to Enforce
Union Recognition

ToRoNTo.-FP)-By 100 votes to
7 the newly organized Electrical Com
munication Workers of Canada gave
discretionary power to strike to a
committee of the union. The strike, If
called, will protest against the re-
fusal Of the Canadian Natl. Telegraph
Co. to recognize their desire for a
Canadian union instead of an inter
national organization. The new union
claims to represent 500 of the SEIZED
uled positions in the system. Henry
Thornton of the government system
says he is ready to recognize any
organization enrolling a majority of
the employees. But the company in
sists that each signature be obtained
over again and in the presence of a
company official. The union objects
to this thinly yelled intimidation.
