NOW GO on WITH THE STORY

I'm going to phone the police sta
tion," Bob announced after his ar
rival early next morning. They
may have delayed letting us know. l
hope Cherry gets back before the'in
quest, for she can clear up the whole
business as soon as they let her tell
her story"
He closed the door after him when
he went into the hall to telephone.
When he returned there was unmis-
taxable relief on his tired face.
They're located her-and Wiley"
he added with an apprehensive
glance at Jim Lane. "A country
preacher had just phoned in to head
quarters. Said he'd read the morn
ing paper and recognized Cherry
from her picture. They were mar
ried by him at ten o'clock last night,
and they were going to drive to Chi
cago on their honeymoon. The night
chief, who's still on duty at the sta
ton, said the preacher chap de-
scribed them accurately, so there S
no doubt about it's being Cherry and
Wiley. He said Cherry seemed both
happy and frightened. like any other
clipping bride, and that Wiley was
so elated he gave the preacher a
twenty dollar bill"

Jim Lane groaned.
tits done now, Dad. There's no
use grievin' over it" Junior spoke in
a strange new voice. IF l know
Wiley, and I believe I do, they can
look for them near the preachers
that Is, If neither one knew they had
anything to fear, and none Of us be-
lieve they did,"
1.-THE police are already on their
way to that locality. They were mar
ried near Minturn, forty miles east
of here" Bob answered. But have
hopes that Cherry and Chris will see
the papers this morning. They'll
know they're wanted and that it will
be useless to try to go on. And since
we all believe Cherry had nothing to
do with this thing, we're pretty sure
she wouldn't consider trying to es-
cape"
Guess we might as we'll take a
squint at the headlines ourselves, !"
Junior moved slowly toward the liv-
ing-room. Guess We'll have to get
used to being on the front page. Oh,
Lord?"
Across the entire front page
marched the tall, black letters of the
headline:

cans rushing to Yucatan to obtain
divorces which hitherto have been
granted merely on the statement of
one interested party, should know that
the Yucatan Legislature has approved
important amendments to the divorce
law.
One of the principal changes re-
quires that six months residence Is
necessary before application can be
made for divorce. Another requires
that parents seeking dissolution of
their marriage must provide for their
children.
Boys under years and girls under
IA go to the care Of the mother, while
boys and girls over IA may remain
with the father, though the boys have
the option Of selecting the parent
with whom they wish to live.
The amended law also makes pro-
vision for equitable distribution of
property as far as children are con-
cerned.

Theater Reverses the Tables.

In London a few decades ago young

by taking their brides from the thea

girls at the Gaiety. which has given
more actresses to the peerage perhaps
than any other theater. The custom
was frowned on by the dowagers for
many years as imparing the purity of
British aristocracy. but the habit be-
