not turn to him. She stood half
turned away, her eyes downcast, her
lips parted into half smile. Her
breath came fast and she could feel
her heart beat. Then she heard him
say in a lower tone, so gently:
Nothing to say, Gloria? Can't you

She turned to find herself gazing
into his eyes.
Yes, l believe In you-as l believe

He walked with her to the door. to
Gilbert's surprise, crossed the thresh-

To leave her for an instant was like
having his life's sun In eclipse. At
last she freed herself from his arms
and babe him go. He had gone as far
as the door, his hand upon the knob,
when she quickly crossed the small
space between them, threw her arms
around his neck and whispered:
Remember, DEAR. in whatever you
do, I'm with you. May my love and
my confidence support you ever"
1t seemed to him like a benediction.
Again were his arms around her, again
their lips pledged their hearts last
ing love. Gently he released himself
from her embrace, and with "a parting
smile was gone.
Wright stepped into the library. his
eyes upon Gloria until the closed door
shut her from his sight. He turned to
find himself face to face, with David
Kerr.
While Wright had been talking to
| Gloria, Kerr and Kendall had joined
the attorney in the library. AS soon
as the editor saw with whom he had
to deal, he recognized how hard
pressed were his friends the enemy
since no go-between was employed. He
was being asked to treat with the
boss of Belmont himself.
You know Mr.. Kendall and Mr.
Kerr" Gilbert said, without resorting
to his social manner, as was his Gus.

diamond cut diamond, and there was
no occasion for any seeming show OF

bush. Gilbert took a chair at the head

CHAPTER XIV.

Even as Wright held Gloria in his
arms there came back to him her
words:
YES, believe in you-as l believe
in my father"
They were like lead about his heart.
and cautioned him that he must get
her away from Belmont as quickly as
possible. Words of love must be post
poned, new-found bliss be treated as
commonplace, until he had finished
his hard task Of persuading her to go
away.
You've made me supremely happy,
Gloria. I want you to believe in me
and trust me-always."
She smiled up at him her love and
confidence as she answered, 81 DC, l
do"
81 want you to be happy, and |
know you're not happy in Belmont,
You must go away at once. I'll follow
YOU"
But why" she questioned. The
smile was still there, but surprise
peeped forth from her eyes. I'm
happy now"
Wright laughed at her with that de-
lightfully patronizing air of possession
that lovers assume, caught her in his
arms once more and kissed her.
81 know, dear, but you'll be happier.
| can't explain. You wouldn't under
stand. Can't you trust me?"
"Ye-es, but father would"
"He won't oppose your going,
know he won't" At thought of David
Kerr and the fierce fight they were
waging Wright became insistent. do
this for me, Gloria. You can get late

Mrs. Gilbert go with you. Next week
I'll Join you, and we'll make plans for
the wedding"
But, Joe, that's SO foolish" she
complained. II like Belmont i'm
mensely now" Then she struck a
more serious note. Besides, 1t
wouldn't be fair to father. He's put
me through, and I'm not going to dis
appoint him. To go away-well, | feel
it would be disloyal."
::You can write him we're engaged,
he pleaded. "Then I'll go to see him.

stand his insistence. Then, too, to
send her away just after they had
found each other was something she
