CHAPTER XIV.

Gloria's announced intention Of re-
joining Mrs. Hayes was not the only
motive that had brought her into the
library. The angry hum of voices had
been borne to her even through the
closed door, and with a woman's i'm
patience and curiosity she was anxious
to know what was going on. Greater
than all else, however, was her desire
to be with Wright. She thought that
by appearing she could bring matters
to a conclusion and carry of with her
the man she loved. Now that she was
in the library and Wright had said
that he was ready to go whenever she
was, David Kerr's daughter forgot
about her desire to go to Mrs. Hayes.
DR.. Hayes and his wife were return
ing to Judge Gilbert's Office when Glo-
ria had seen them, and soon Williams
ushered them into the library. The
presence of the two women prevented
all open discussion of political mat
tiers. Even had 1t not been for Miss
Kerr and Mrs. Hayes there could have
been no controversy, because after
Wright had made his position clear he
would not talk further about 1t. Now
he was merely waiting for Gloria.
Il thought you said you wouldn't be
long," was the way, in a playful at
tempt at seriousness, Gloria upbraided
her sovereign lord when they found
themselves a little apart from the
others.

"You are just a little nasty In your

Said, wheA he saw that the publisher
seemed to regard his answer as Anal.

this light: Here's a paper that isn't

enough to accept will permit you to
leave Belmont far richer than when
you came. There are other lances to
be broken elsewhere. Why tilt here
against a stone WALTZ"
'If it were a stone wall there'd have
been no Offer" Wright was shrewd
enough to know that they must be in
desperate straits.
"See here, young man." Kerr blazed,
f"you won't be able to make a go OF 1t.
If you don't sell now I'll see to 1t
that some day the sheriff will"
This direct threat was more than
he could bear. Rising from his chair
and leaning across the table the pub
fisher shook his fist in Kerr's face and
told him just what he thought Of the
situation. Remembering who was or

A single movement Of his head

Of impotence she stopped him.
