Dolly asked. "Have you been to 'Dutch's'?" Jim asked. "Dutch's? Whew!" The exclamation was a whistling sound of pleasure and surprise. "Is it that sort of place?" Jim asked. "I've never been there in the evening." "But I'm not wearing my emeralds." Dolly objected. "Don't you want to go?" "Oh, yes!" He knew that she was pleased. Excitement bubbled in her voice. But, after a moment, she said, "You needn't, you know. I mean it's expensive at 'Dutch's.' I'd just as soon go somewhere else.

I have a week's wages in my pocket. Fifteen dollars! Let's shoot the roll!" "Okay, Mister!" Excitement bubbled again in her odd husky voice. Jim liked having her there beside him, warm and friendly, as undemanding as a kitten. He was touched by her consideration. If fifteen dollars would buy her a handsome evening, certainly she should have it. They left the highway, presently, and turned into the road that led through Cherry Hollow. The borough, set in a wooded depression between gently rolling hills, lay before them after a time. In the moonlight it was charming, a village from Hans Christian Anderfor the Pied Piper sen, a stage-se- t of Hamelin. The artfully quaint houses, located apparently at random among dogwoods and pines and wild cherry trees, wore inhabited by artists, motv or less suca musicians, cessful, writers, individuals sprinkling of loss-gifte- d who enjoyed living in an unconventional community. A stream run through the hollow, crossed by bridges, dammed, holt and there, into pools rimmed with iris and splattered with lily pads. "This is a cute placv, isn't it?" Dolly remarked as the MncPhcr-son.-- ;' coupe followed a winding kmc.

Where do we go from "Cr.ay," I ; : here?" They had some difficulty in finding their way out. Eventually, however, after an interval of bumping along picturesque but rutty lanes they found the roud they had lost. "This is right," Dolly said encouragingly. "There's the theater over there." The Cherry Hollow theater was located beside the stream in a depression at the end of the borough. e ... run-aroun- I'll" forget-me-not- TIMS TO C1IRHGE s f I'll--!- fawn-colore- d hly-hk- e . . . 0 |
