CHAPTER XIII

Gloria hated herself for the par
oxysm Of emotion to which she had
given way in the presence OF the man
whose love she had rejected. There
was no Interpretation to be put upon
it save that her nerves were over
wrought, yet she did not know how
he would construe her tears. She did
not wish him to think her weak. Sud
denly the girl remembered that tears
were a woman's weapon. The thought
so enraged her that in her anger at
being SO much a mere woman she for:
got to weep. She had in her the spirit
of her father Drying her eyes has
tily. she turned to say good-by.
Wright saw her turn and hold out
her hand Could she have changed
her mind? His heart prompted this
thought, but one glance at her face
told him she was still determined u
60 her own way alone.
"Good-by." she said
is it to be good-by. Gloria?
THAT. and nothing more"
The man looked at her in a dazed
r.Now-that-the time Of part
ing had come she had far more self
possession than he. He CROPPED about
in his mind for something to say, but
words were inadequate. There is no
telling how his feelings might have
betrayed him had there not come
knock At the door to interrupt their
parting.
At the sound Gloria exclaimed with
q start, Who's that?'
Wright walked to the door. saw who
asked for entrance. and opened 1t
wide for Patty to enter.

must see you at once
Did you tell him l was busy. and

"Oh, yes, just like you told me, but
he said to tell you he was David

You know IS much As l. I've told
you I've not seen my father since that

Il make no offer, Gloria he plead

She trembled visibly at his words.
Yet her resolution was such that she
was not shaken from her purpose She
did not dare look at him, however, as
she answered:
I'm afraid the love one must beg

Wright's proposal had been totally

he had begun to plead with her to go
away with him, she had maintained

offer. as she termed it. had pierced
her armor of reserve and laid bare

Again his anaZement eQualed that

occasioned. He permitted it to betray
iself by exclaiming:

Surely, Miss Kerr, you didn't expect

This was something she had not

indirect results, chief among which
are the disarrangement OF our COM
