The couple were reduce to the
greatest distress, and Zoe at last
told Raphael that she was going
10 live with him no longer. She
told him that she never had loved

brother died to go into some fam

make some connection cither legiti
mate or illigitimate which would
insure her a home.
She found, however, that she had
made a mistake and she was going
;o try again.
"Raphael," said the girl who was
telling me the story, "seemed to
wake up to what had happened.
He saw that he had given up his
wife his child his home his

of Gloria's wild parties.
Glorln hires Kanghlld Sanson,
although llok tells her they csn't
afford a mail. She swamps Dick
wllli debt, and demands a new au
tomobile. Uick becomes dangerously III
with pneumonia. During tho time of
his recovery. Gloria sska Dick's
secretary, Miss Susan Mrlggs, to
give her of IHck's money, phe
explain that she needs it for the
house, so Miss Diigg gl'a it lo
her. Then Gloria Itnds the money
to Stanley Wayburn, an out-of-work
actor with whom she is in
fatuated. Wayburn plans to use the
money t0 K0 to New York to look
up a job.
A few days b. fore he go-s. GlorlaJ
and he are out driving in her car,
when they have, an accident, Way
burn leaves Gloria lying under the
wrecked car, goes for help, and dis
appears. His clgaret case Is found
lying under the car, snd when
Dick ecrs it, he goes to the hospi
tal to see Gloria and forces a con
fession from her about hr friend
liness with Wayburn.
Week pass. Gloria finds her life
very stal without Wayburn. Then
her triend, May Seymour, wife of
Dr. John Seymour, tella Gloria that
there has been much gossip about
her affair ' with Wayburn. Her
friends begin to shun her.
May gives
party which Includes:
Gloria. Jim Carewe, a man who is
half in lnc with May, and some
of hi 'gay friends. Gloria leaves I
early. She's "blue" and depressed.
.NOW GO OS WITH THK STORY
May stopped dancing and shoved
Care-we. down into an armchair.
'Turk yourself there for a min
ute, Jim." she said. "I want to talk
to Gloria."
F ho came out into the hall, clos
ing the doors behind her as she
fame. She sst down on the bottom
the stairs and looked up at I
Gloria with punzlcd eyes,
"What's the matter with you,
anyway?" she asked. "I've noticed
that you've been singing the blues
tt yourself, all day- You haven't
had a. bit of a good time, have
you ?"
Glo-i shook her had
"No,
"f feel
she confessed, "I haven't, i
wfully 'blah,' somehow or I
fher, today." I
"You're worrying about, that sap,
Wayburn." May eaid with sudden
bluntne.w. "And you're a foot to do
'.'! I've had his number ever since
the nleht of your party when he
made such a tun over Myra Gail.
He's some sheik. ... At least, he
kids himself that he is!"
Glorja, looked intently at her fln
gernrtlis. "Stan's b ft town." she raid at
last. "So ib.u't worry about him snd
mo any more. ... And I don't
know what's the matter with me,
May. Honestly."
Hut the did know.
She was terribly loii''l without
Wayburn.
"What's the use of pr-t.-iiding?"
she asked herself on the way homo
through file streets, warm and sun
ny in the late afternoon quiet. "I'm
t homofcied for Stan. That's what'B
S the matter with me. Thai's all that's
j wrong with me."
I Wayburn had filled her idle days
with interest, for months past.
1 When there waws nothing else on
i hand, he was always ready to go
tor a drive or a hike with her. He
always had a new dance to teach
I her ... or the latest New York
i hit to sing to her.
He had a ready laugh, and a
wealth of funny stork-. He was
amusing. Gloria had always called
htm her "on- -man show."
Now that, lie was gone, time hung
heavily on her hands. She didn't'
know what to do with herself all
uay long.
"I'm lost without S'an. That's
about the size of it." she told her
self, as flv; turned the corner of
her own street.
The mother of the Donb. rg twins
was Just ahead of li'-r, followed by
l.er loc!y off-spring on roller
skates.
Across the s'r'-et two of the
neighbors stood gofsiplng 011 th'-'
driveway between their house.
tforla looked at them, curiously.
They seemed happy and confent-
-f in their placid, ib ep-bosoni'.d
maturity . . . those two women.
"Rut I wonder If they really are,"
Gloria asked herself. "Or are they
nek and tire-j of married life, like
I am?"
She quickened her Heps and
-a ugh' up wii'i Mrs Donberg.
"Hello. ther- !" saVI the, twins'
mo'l.er. "It's nice to see you around
.oni" again. I tried n get to the
hospital to see you. but the twuns
were both sick In bed with bron--hi-is.
and I never poked my nose
..u'side the house for two weeks!"
She sigh.!. "It's Just one thing
,i"ef another for fl. w-omsn, Isn't
if" she asked. "Nit It's the
prirg sewing, and then the can
ning feaecn will he hen, and after
that the fall e'eaning and sewing!
. . My eoodn- ss, I don't get time
to do half the things I'd like to do!"
Gloria looked st her intently.
Was this lit'le. bright-eyed, smiling
woman discontented like herself?"
"What would you like to do, real
?' Gloria asked her.
M-. Donberg laughed.
"WV.I." she said. "I've had three
cans of blue paint up on iny broom-cos'-t
shelf for three months." she
said, "and I knew it sounds slily
to eay 1', but I jut can't see-ni to
md time to paint the twit-s' bed
room set with it! That's what I'd
really enjoy. Fixing up my house
so it would be rrettvl, like yours,
Mrs. Gregory."
Gloria's ii-i'rest flagged.
She rer'ainly had nothing In com
mon w.ith the little "haus'rau" be.
side her!
She sail good-bve to her and
walked on.
Pick was in the jid' -jar-i trans
planting eonie cannas along the
iiotue.
"Hell, where have you been all
day?" lie greeted her,
"At May' house," Gloria an
swered hrlefly.
Pick ran up the front steps and
opened tha door for her. He fol
lowed her Into tha house.
He asked her how May wai. He
told her that Mrs. Gordon had
telephon an Invitation to spend
the day" with her, tomorrow.
Hut Gloria knew that that w
not what he had come Into tho
house to say.
He said it leaning tip against the
newel-post at the foot of the stairs,
nervously tapping the trowel he
stltl held, on the polished wood.'
"Doc feymour thinks I ought to
go away for a rest," ho said. "How
would you like to go with mo to
Indian Neck for a couple of weeks,
or so? It would do us both good."
Gloria's eyea narrowed.
"la your mother going along, by
any chance?" aho asked, biting off
the words, like little bits of ice.
"We el, Poc Seymour thinks she
ought to go along," he began. "Bhes
not getting over her operation as
well as he hoped. . . ."
Gloria interrupted him, snap
nishly. "Is she going?" she asked
sharly. "Now, don't hedge, Dick:
8he la going, Isn't she?"
"I don't see how I can very well
tell her yon don't want her with
us." he aald. "After all, she's my
mother. Glory."
"Well, go with her. then'. But
count me out!" Gloria cried pas
sionately. "J wouldn't go to the
most wonderful place on earth,
with your mother. I'lck! I can't
stand her'."
Angry tears sprang to her eyes.
Ttut she brushed them away with
the back of her hand, and ran up
stairs.
Phe went into the little taffeta-
hung room that had been hers since
the beginning of Dick' lltnes. Bhe
iocked the door behind her.
In a moment Dick waa there, rat
tling the knob.
"Open the door. Glory," he plead
ed, "and we'll talk fhla thing over
sensibly. . . . What's the use of
your taking it this way? Even if
Mother goes with u. you won't
have to see much of her. . . Open
the door please!"
"Oh, dry up and blow away:
Gloria answered crossly. "I'm not
going to talk about it any more!
Yon go with your precious mother,
and I'll find something to amuse
me here , . . never fear!"
She stopped suddenly. Fhe had
intt found the le'ter! Stanley Way-
burn's letter;. . . TJiere It stood,
propped tip against a tall perfume
bottle on her dresser, where
she
would be sure to see it.
With shaking fingers, she ripped
open the '.-heap, white envelope.
"Dear Russet." the letter read.
"I trust this letter will find you
well and happy. After 1 sent the
old farmer to get you the day of
the accident, I beat It. I thought
you were dead when I saw- you ly
ing under the car. and I knew if
I stayed I'd be mixed tip In a scan
dal. Believe me, I was glad w-hen
I heard that you'd only had ft few
broken bones. If anyone happened
to find my silver clgaret case, will
you aend it to me?"
'As always, S. W.."
Below the letter he had penciled
his address.
He was living on Forty-Second
street, in New York.
Forty-Second street! The words
brought to Gloria a sudden vision
of electric lights, dashing taxicabs.
gay crowds of people, red-striped
awnings before restaurant entrances.
Her breath caught tn her throat.
How she would love to be there!
1'art of tha movement, the color,
the riot, the noise'.
There waa corned beef for din-
lie r that night . . . corneu i-ci
with horse-radish sauce and boiled
cabbage.
"I hate corned beef!" Gloria ex
claimed when the meal was almost
over. "I wish you'd give me a lit
tle more money to keep house cn,
Dick. Then we wouldn't have to eat
this horrible stuff, just because its
cheap!"
Dick laid down hi knife and fork
on hi plate. Ho looked across tho
table at Gloria thoughtfully.
"That reminds me," he aid. "Miss
Briggs said she let you have J200
of minte while I was sick to spend
on the backyard. I'm afraid I'll have
to ask you for that, money, Glory.
, . . We can't afford to spend It
Just now. That's why I'm trying to
fix tho place up, myself."
Under the tablecloth. Gloria's
hands were twisting and untwisting
themselves frantically.
f-'he tried to open her mouth to
speak. Put she couldn't make up
her mind what to say.
What could she say? What Was
there to say?
fhe had giien up ll hope of
Wayburn's pa-ctng back the money!
She sat silent, looking at Dick
with her great brown eyes fixed and
siaring. Then she began to cry.
Tears, always distressed Dick hor
rihly, he knew.
He got up snd came around the
table to her. He drew her up from
