oh, my dear-my dear, I love you
so muchl"
1t was like a miracle. Cherry's
soft cheek, like warm velvet, against
his own. Cherry unresisting that
fervent embrace. Cherry raising
eyes that were like starlight. Cherry
his own beloved Cherry close in
his arms
And suddenly the miracle be-
came reality. She drew away. The
girls eyes-they we're no longer
level and mstter-of- fact, but ra-
diant, misty and gloriously, tender
met Dams.
She whispered. Don't leave me
again, Dan! I couldn't stand it. 1
don't want you to go away again
everl"
You mean you don't want di-
vorce? You'll give me another
chance? Oh, Cherry. I swear that if
you do, everything will be different.
III never be such fool again.
1 love you, Cherry. You're the only
one in the world 1 lovel Don't you
know that?"
THERE were footsteps on the
a staircase. Max Pearson's head
emerged above the railing as the
two in the doorway turned.
Cherry" Pearson exclaimed.
Well, I'm certainly glad to know
you're all right Has Dan told you
we've been tearing thee town apart
to find you? Thought you'd been
kidnapped or smashed up in an ac-
cident-!"
The girl shook her head. Dan
didn't tell me-" she said. Her eyes
were on Dams. The look that
passed between these two was I'M
mistakable.
Pearson coughed. ooh, see!" he
said. Other things to talk about.
BY the way, Dan, do you realize we
have a taxi waiting outsider"
Good Lord I'd forgotten all
about It'll" Dan moved, but the other
put hand on his arm
"I'll take care of it," Max told
him. Got to be running along
anyhow. I want to get o. an answer
to that wire"
you mean about the job? Are
you going to take it, MAXI"
Eyes, I guess so. I'll be clearing
out in couple days. See you to-
morrw, Dan"
Cherry stepped forward. She put
out her hand. "Well both see you,
Max. You wouldn't leave yelling
ton without saying good-by to me,
would you? 1 thought we were
friends"
Pearson's hand gripped the girls.
"Of course we are" he said. al
ways!"
And that handclasp, the look in
Cherry Phillips eyes meant more to
Max Pearson than declarations of
love from any other woman in the
world. Pearson grinned. We'll, I'll
be getting along now!"
They went down to the second
floor landing together. Cherry's face,
smiling down over the banniSter,
was the last thing Pearson saw be-
fore pulling down his hat brim,
drawing up his coat collar and step
ping out into the night.
CHERRY and Dan stood before
~ their own threshold. Dan
opened the door, touched the wall
switch and they entered the apart
ment.
Great guy, Pearson!" he said.
But then I've always told you
that"
Cherry would have agreed with
him. She was about to say as much
when something on the floor caught
her eye. A slender, white envelope.
1t was lying just within the room
where the janitor had slipped it
underneath the door. Cherry picked
it up.
"a letter." she said. For YOU,
Dan. Oh, look"
Both of them were staring at the
inconspicuous lettering in the upper
left hand corner of the envelope.
The name was that of a famous
magazine.
Quickly, with half-suppressed
exclamation Dan tore open the en-
velope, drew out the sheet that was
inside.
Cherry he cried "Why-why,
Cherry"
He held a slip of pink paper bear
ing the words, PAY to the order
of Daniel Phillips, $780,"
There's some mistake" Dan was
muttering. 1T isn't for me, Cherry
1t can't bel"
Lets read the letter, dear"
1t was a brief note. The editor
was pleased to inform Daniel Phil
