A curious type of labor dispute has
developed simultaneously in two diff

CHAPTER XVIII.

Gloria had not been reared without
an understanding Of the various lay
ers Of society. or those close to her
own station in life she had an intimate
and intelligent knowledge. but as she
went down the scale her acquaintance

she could have no real pity.
Gloria had never dreamed, even
when she tried to put the worst pos
sible construction on what few things
she knew. that the world could be SO
cruel. Never for an instant had she
thought that 1t was possible for men
whom she regarded as upright and
honorable to be engaged directly or in
directly in exploiting vice and igno-

grew shriller and shriller as the In
dictment grew graver. She talked
rapidly, sometimes turning aside from
the direct channel of her revelation
to explore some little eddy of a spe
cific instance which made her account
a reality. Gloria could have credited
something to exaggeration had 1t moi
been that just at the moment she

CHAPTER XVH.-Continued.


Although Gloria had protested that
.she had no fear about being left with
the sick woman. when she said it she
had in mind only a fear Of being alone
in such a dismal lodging house and
fear that she 'night be called upon to
act as doctor and trained nurse both
were her patient to take a turn for the
worse. Now, however, a new thought
came to her. How was she to act?
What was she to do to amuse her?
She felt instinctively the a~ntipathy
she had aroused. She covered like a
lamb before this young she-wolf of the
city. She was alone, defenseless. with
this creature that had so far reverted
to type that she might rend and tear.
Even in a battle of wits, and that was
all there would be if the girl did not
, ignore her entirely, Gloria felt her
self no match for this brazen child of
misfortune, Her comparisons we're
physical, but it was not a physical
fear she felt. Sheltered inexperience
was pitted against the most cruel ex-
p~erience society could ever devise or
tolerate.
y, Gloria was mistaken in thinking that
Little, Ella slept. After Mrs. Hayes
had left her she walked quietly back
to a chair by the bedside. On 1t lay a
cheap novel with which the sick WON
an had been beguiling the time. She
picked it up and was turning the
pages casually when a feeling stole
over her that she was being observed.
Putting aside the book, she found Lit
tie Ella gazing at her stonily.
"Say, what'd you come here for"
"Why," she answered in surprise,
~ wanted to help you"
A sneer curied the sick woman's
lip, a cynical sheer of disbelief.
Help me! To what? l amt ever
saw you down here before. Come on.
what brought you?"
81 came with Mrs. Hayes" was all
that Gloria could find to answer
"The woman what just went out?"
"Yes."
Feeling that she must do something
to end this catechism, Gloria hap
pened to glance at the book she held
In her hand, and this led her to ask:
Wouldn't you like me to read to your"
"Naw. l can read fer myself"
perhaps there is something else l
might do. What do you say. l might
write a letter for your"
"A letter? v7lo to-"
isn't there HUme one who ought to
know you are slck?"
Who'd want to hear from me-" the
woman replied sullenly. 81 amt the
belle O. the village any more"
Haven't you a mother"
"She's dead"
"a father, then? Isn't there some
one watching for you, hoping to see
you come down the quiet little street,"
Here was an attempt to awaken a
sentiment for the past which met
with no success. Little Ella replied
roughly:
They're watching at his house all
right-all right-him and that pssty-
face wife of his-so they a run out
and unchain the dog. Then they'd
gather in the parlor an say prayers
Ger the dead-that's me-"
What could you have done to have
your family treat you so?" Gloria
asked. What could you do to be
~estranged from your father, of all per
sons?"
This was something Gloria could
not understand. Once she would not
have understood a lack Of love where
two had lived together continuously
Now she could waive that point, but
the arrangement was beyond her.
