and he was an audacious sutton
The blond princess sang wistfu
love songs
When the organ soloist began q
popular dance tune it seemed II
Cherry that the song was inspired
a masterpiece. The words flashed
on the screen:
Come let us stroll down lovers lane
Once more to sing loves old refrain
For We must say. "Auf Wiedersehn--Auf
Wiedersehn. my dear"
A girl beside Cherry was singing
in a high pitched voice. Cherry did
not sing, but she was sure that she
never would forget that song. It
was beautiful, though sad.
She and Dan knew what it meant
to stroll down lovers lane. but they
would never, never part. They would
never say farewell" as the sweet
hearts in the song.
Cherrys hand, in Dams. pressed
closer. The song was concluded
and a news reel flashed on the
screen. Twenty minutes later the
two left the theater and walked
down Twelfth street.
They had gone less than block
when gay voice hailed them. Max
Pearson, crossing the street with
great, swinging strides, was with
them almost Immediately.
Called your place half an hour
ago." he said, 'but I couldn't get
an answer. What are you doing
now?"
Nothing. Just on our way home"
"How about joining me for lit
tie spin? It's too fine a night to
stay indoors"
Dan and Cherry agreed enthusi-
astically. They walked to the park
ing station where Pearson had left
his car and all three crowded into
the single seat.
The roadster was not to be COM
pared with the smart little motor
car that had been Cherrys at home,
but the engine was trustworthy.
Soon they reached a highway along
which buildings became farther and
farther apart.
Small stores, oil stations and low
dwellings gave way for houses set
in wide lawns. 1t was a neighbor-
hood given to truck gardening.
THERRY'S head was tilted back
~ ward. The breeze against her
cheeks was caressing- like a.
June night than one in May.
Well. June was not so far ahead.
The moon, silvery half-shell, sud-
denly appeared from behind clouds.
From ploughed field there came
the rich, warm odor of fresh earth.
1T is wonderful night" Cherry
said. And wonderful to get away
from the city, tool"
'You miss that roadster of yours,
don't you?" Dan asked.
Not when Max is so generous"
She was careful throughout the
drive and later, when Pearson lin
gered at the apartment before say
ing good night, not to give him the
opportunity to address her privately.
When she spoke it was always to
both men and not once did her eyes
meet Parsons in one of those COM
pelling exchanges that could be so
disturbing.
Something of this must have come
o Dams notice. He asked, when he
and Cherry we're alone in the apart
ment: Say, don't you like Max? 1
thought you two were going to be
friends"
why, we are!"
''You didn't seem very friendly
tonight. I'm sure Max noticed it,
Il thought I was polite"
"Oh, sure! Of course you we're
polite. You couldn't be anything
else Trouble was, you we're so
darned polite and formal I think
Max was offended"
Cherrys back was toward her
husband. Il hope note" she said.
i didn't mean to offend him. The
next time he comes I'll try to seem
more cordial"
That's all right" Dan said.
The only thing is Max is such a
prince I wanted to he sure you like
him. You ought to have Max around
a lot, don't you think SOP"
Cherry agreed that they should.
She asked Dan if he had remem-
