Dan w. LeGore Says
at Meeting.

Reports on tax reduction achieve

meeting of the indianapolis Real

Three directors were to be elected

The tax situation was held to be
the biggest question before the ma

dent Dan w. LeGore.
Every politician since the time of
Julius Caesar has been running on
an economy platform" he said, but
the cost of government steadily has
been increasing at the expense of
property owners"
LeGore urged broadening of the
tax base, charging that at present
only one-third of the people are
disturbed over taxation, because the
other two-thirds pay practically no
taxes.

News dispatches from Little Rock,
Ark, today reveal that Dicks voice
apparently didn't carry much weight
around the house, but the objects
that Mrs. Powell hurled at him did.
Powell won the divorce in Little
Rock and has given his former wife,
Mildred Maud Powell, half of a
$1,000 financial settlement.
+, In a deposition taken in Los
Angeles, according to dispatches,
Powell charged his wife would be-

Mrs. Mildred Maud Powell now is
residing in Hemphill, Tex, with the
$4,000 the crooner has given her.
The remainder will be paid in
eleven months.
Dispatches said neither Powell
nor his wife appeared in court but
she was represented by an attorney
who denied the allegations con-
tanned in Powell's suit.
The decree was filed last Thurs
day, the same date of filing of the
suit, but it was not known until
Wednesday.

Brings U. S. Denials

Morgan interests, General Motors.
Goodyear and Firestone are report
ed negotiating, co-incident TO the
OIL controversy, for trade monopo-
lies in Persia. This report arouses
no little interest here, and has
brought some denia1s from America
1t is limited openly in the anti
Russian London press that the
Anglo-Persian dispute is due largely
to Russian influence. Lord Beaver
brooks Daily Express said it has
been well known for a long time
that the Soviets were endeavoring
to capture the Persian concession.
The British government chose the
moment when Soviet Russia was
mentioned to demand an apology
Tor remarks attributed to Izvestia,
an official Moscow newspaper. The
government threatened not to re-
new the recently abrogated British
Russian trade treaty.
1t was understood that the Rus
sian ambassador here already had
expressed his regrets orally to For
eign Secretary Sir John Simon.
Editorial Is Cited
While the remarks attributed to
Ibvestia did not mention the oil dis
pute, it was considered significant
that the Soviet newspaper said edi-
torially regarding the Anglo Persian
concession:
THE conflict demonstrates a Sc
rious breach of British colonial pol
icy, its -repercussions in the coun-
tries of the east will help deepen
the cracks in the shattered structure
of the decrepit British empire"
The Soviet organ also assumed the
role of legal adviser to the Persian
government. The Persian constitu-
ton specially provided against the
grant of concessions in Persia to
foreigners Or the conclusion of for
eign loans without ratification by
the medjlis (parliament). The Brit
lsh) concession was not ratified. and
therefore its existence is more than
doubtful" Izvestia said.

The young man nodded agree
ment. He did not leave the apart
ment as usual after dinner, but
flung himself down on the daven-
port with new book.
Cherry felt this was encouraging.
She was happy as she went about
clearing the dishes from the table.
She washed them and put them
away taking care to be quiet so as
not to disturb Dan.
"Everythings going to be all
right" she assured herself. I'm
sure of It'll"
But there was disappointment
ahead. Dan did not come home
for dinner the following evening.
Cherry would not let this make
her downcast, however. She was
pinning her faith on her plans for
Saturday.
She intended to remind Dan in
the morning that she was to meet
him at noon. She meant to speak
Of it the last thing before he left
the apartment, but somehow he
was gone before she realized it.
At II O'Clock she telephoned the
Office, but Dan was not there.
1T doesn't matter" Cherry as
sured herself. Dan never forgets
anything" 1t was true that his
memory was unusual.
While she dressed, she planned

Cherry took a last glance into the
mirror. Her eyes glowed with an
ticipation. Yes, she was satisfied
with her appearance. If she met
any one she knew at Stanley's, she
need not feel ashamed.
The ride down town on the trolley
required only fifteen minutes, but
Cherry allowed herself more than
that. She left the house promptly
at IL o'clock and twenty minutes
later had reached the library.
Naturally Dan was not in sight. He
would probably be late.

Dan would be sure to ask what
she meant and then Cherry would
say. why, dear, have you forgot
ten? It's our anniversary. We've
been married six months today!"
That was the surprise she had in
store. The anniversary was exactly
what was needed to end this foolish
misunderstanding.
After that Dan could speak with
out fear Of sacrificing his pride.
They would recall memories to-
gether. He would tell her how hap
py he had been during those six

she had been.
Oh, yes, everything would be as
Cherry had planned! They could
spend the afternoon and evening to-
gether. They could forget the rest
Of the world,
There would only be she and
Dan! Reconciliation would be all
the sweeter after the bitter lone
illness.
Cherry's thoughts drifted. The
important thing was to let Dan
know she wasn't angry with him,
to give him a chance to tell her
ne had been miserable these last
few days as she had been.

CHE bathed and patted on the
- delicately scented bath powder
that was her dearest luxury. She
got into brief, lacy undergarments,
new hose, and her best pumps.
AS she touched her cheeks with
the pink pad from her rouge box,
Cherry was as careful as she ever
had been when dressing for an
engagement with Dan before their
marriage. She made her mouth into
vivid rosebud with hpstick.
She put on a brown frock, ad-
justed the little hat smartly and
slipped into her polo coat. A bright
scarf relieved the somber monotone.

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE

CHERRY sat in the window seat
~ and looked out at the only tree
in sight. Some of its leaves had
blown to the ground but those that
remained were bright yellow. They
danced in the sunlight, the very
emblem of carefree gayety.
Cherry did not even see the
dancing leaves though she was
staring at them. There were tinv
vertical lines between Cherry's
brown eyes.
The eyes were brooding and seri-
Gus now. Cherry's lips pressed to-
gether in an anxious line. She was
struggling with the most difficult
problem she had ever faced.
The situation was terrifying. She
had felt 1t daily for the last week.
The thing that frightened her was
nothing you could put your finger
on and say This is wrong. Well
correct it,
1t was something intangible, some
thing Cherry was powerless to COM
bat, because she could not even
name it.
In some way a barrier had risen
between herself and Dan. She could
not see over this barrier Or around
it. Dan was on one side and she
on the other.
There had been no more quarrel
ing between them. Ever since the
night of the argument about the
house cleaning, Dan had been
meticulously polite. He left the
house early each morning and
usually arrived late at night.
When he came home for dinner,
he departed almost Immediately.
Cherry was too proud to inquire
how he was spending his time.
She went about the houSework,
cooked the food he liked, made her
self attractive for the hour when
he arrived-and would have died
rather than let him know how she
was suffering.
1t had been five days now since
that dreadful night.
ut was my fault-partly," Cherry
told herself for the thousandth
time. Il shouldn't have let myself
get so tired and nervous and
shouldn't have complained about
the work"
But there was the matter Of
pride, too. If Dan had made the
slightest move toward reconciliation
Cherry would have met the venture
half way. He hadnt-and there
fore affairs we're as they stood.
Suddenly Cherry got to her feet.
"This won't dol" she scolded.
There's no use sitting here worry
ing. I'm little fool to imagine a
lot of things that aren't true.
probably that's the whole trou-
ble-I've been letting my magma
ton get the best of me. Now I'm
going to quit it,"
TOR the rest of that day she was
Il determinedly cheerful. 1t was
not easy, but when doubts arose
Cherry closed her mind to them.
Moreover, she outlined a course of
action. Something was to happen
within two days that she felt sure
would restore her happiness.
Il won't tell Dam" she thought.
''I'll surprise him"
Cherry said casually at dinner
that evening, give some shopping
to do Saturday. Suppose 1 come
down about 1890 and have lunch
with you, Will that be all right?'

the block. The day was colder than
she had realized and she pulled the
collar Of her coat snugly about her
throat.
A woman wearing a handsome
mink wrap passed and Cherry
thought ruefully Of the beaver coat
that had been a gift on her last
birthday. The coat was in storage
and If Mrs. Dixon had been at
home she would probably have in
sisted on Cherry wearing It.
