Kerr could sit still no longer. He
pulled himself out Of his chair and
stood with his back to the ire and
directly facing Gilbert. "All these
years I've acted lie. I've made Gloria

finally broke himself with the explain
atory remark:
Gloria thinks I'm the social leader
of Belmont; that the whole town
hangs breathless on what l say shall

Hasn't she often wanted to come

Kerr was not to be hurried. He
began to pace up and down in front
of the fireplace. When he paused
the lawyer, to secure a continuation

he could scarcely believe it possible

recognized that it was tragic. Kerr
never mentioned his daughter, anc
Belmont had almost forgotten hel
