CHAPTER XVII.

I've forgotten what we'd planned
for this afternoon" Gloria remarked
to Mrs. Hayes the morning after the
stormy scene in Judge Gilbert's Of
fee. Yesterday was carefully ignored
by both as they talked.
"This was the day Mrs. Wallace
asked us to help her at the mission
Mrs. Hayes explained.
She did not say further that she
had te%lephoned earlier in the morning
and had Mrs. Wallace, the maeron.
make plans whereby the whole after
noon would be taken up. She be-
lieved Gloria's peace OF mind would
be all the greater were she engaged In
some work which would make her feel
that through her the pain of the Euf-
ferer was alleviated and the bruised
heart of the unhappy bound up.
It was just two O'Clock when they
reached the mission. They had not been
there long before Mrs. Wallace sug.
gested that they call on a poor girl
who was i'll in a room over Mike Moo
mans saloon. The sick woman was
known to her, but she told nothing OF
her story. 1t wasn't much different
from any one of half a hundred she
might have told.
The two women felt not the slight
est fear in walking through such a
tough quarter Of the town. Mrs. Hayes
was an experienced settlement work
er. and knew many OF the persons
whom they passed. They for their
| part knew her and respected her for
the kindly charity she dispensed so
unostentatiously. AS for Gloria, she
could fear nothing since she was al
most in total ignorance Of what dan.
gers might beset their path. Then,
too. she vas busy with her own
thoughts.
Mrs. Hayes had been told in what
room the sick woman lay. and without
a word to anyone. In fact they saw no
one, they went in the door on the side
street and climbed the dark, uncarpet-
ed stairs to the third floor. At u door
just at the foot of the flight OF steps
which led to the fourth story. Mrs.
Hayes knocked gently. There was no
answer. She decided that if there was
no response to the next knock she
would open the door to see if the girl
we're asleep. A second and louder
knock. however. aroused her and she
called to them to enter.
Gloria and Mrs. Hayes walked into
the room, and as the latter went to
the bedside to explain how they hap.

1ron every one In the room. Pity for
Gloria was the dominating emotion,
Tor everyone present realized her un
happy position. The dramatic revela-

that she had been sacrificed, stirred

Hayes, not well versed in politics. har-
bored no slight resentment against the
publisher Of the News, since they re-
garded the article rs too severe. Were
rot their husbands interested on the

were honest men. But their husbands
