mother found she had to support her

Kerr, if you knew the bitterness of
that struggle as know 1t your heart
would ache, too, at thought of it,"
He paused, but something clutched
at Gloria's throat. She could not
speak.
IF mother could have fault, 1t
was her pride Of me. l suppose when
all the things she had planned for her
self came to naught at my fathers
death she centered everything on me.

I'm SO glad she lived to see it all

low tone. 1T makes me think OF what
sacrifices my father has made for me.
Just because he loved me and wanted
me to have everything. he has given
up what Joy might have been to him.

At this a sudden pain shot through
the mans heart 1t made him pledge
himself before heaven TO protect her

watched her say the last good-byes.

to Wright with smile. Walking
across the room to him she held out

CHAPTER v.

There was 30 much to be said that
Wright and the girl we're at a loss tc
know where to begin now that they
had an opportunity to talk without in
terruption. With Gloria there was an
undercurrent of unrest caused by the
fact that she feared he had carelessly
broken the promise made on the Rhine
to meet her again in Paris. She had
waited and he had not come.
Wright was no less interested In
what they were about to say. In the
first place, after long absence. he
was again with the girl whom he had
made 1t point to meet at various
places in Europe. To add confusion
