asked.
The occasion was too serious for a

away the suggestion. She wanted to

do It. You don't know him as | do"
Turning once more to the man she
loved, she said proudly, Say it's a lie,
Joe"
The two stood gazing at each u1her,
utterly oblivious OF everything else in
the world. In her eyes Their. was
nothing Of doubt. She put into her
look all the love and confidence she
had promised would always be his.
With Wright it was far otherwise. No

not be kept from her.. She would in

page that day were the words, Owned

had just sworn that he would be the
champion OF the people Of Belmont.
and here at his first trial he was
quailing under the eyes Of the m
he loved. With a wrench he tore him
self away from his dear desire to save
her from pain and answered huskily:
You don't understand"
"You!" she cried in an agony OF
despair as she realized he was con-
Tossing.
A single movement of his head
showed his assent.
"Oh, YOU coward!" Her disgust was
overpowering. The whitening con-
tempt she put into her words was
equaled by her look Of scorn. He
started to speak, but with a gesture

She shrank from Wright as if to
look at him were dishonor.
All the great love he had for her
welled forth in one cry:
"Gloria!"
The girl could not, would not hear.
She had but one refuge for her break

flung herself into his arms with only
a single word: Father"
With never a word, with never a
look to right or left, the man she had
promised to love and who had prom

room.
Sobbing as il her heart would break.
Gloria rested in her fathers arms.

CHAPTER XIV.

Gloria's announced intention OF re
Joining Mrs. Hayes was not the cnl,
motive that had brought her into thu
library. The angry hum of voices had
been borne to her even through the
closed door. and with a woman's i'm
patience and curiosity she was anxious
to know what was going on. Greater
than all else, however, was her desire
to be with Wright. She thought that
by appearing she could bring matters
to a conclusion and carry off with her
the man she loved. Now that she was
In the library and Wright had said
that be was ready to go whenever she
was. David Kerr's daughter forgot
about her desire to go to Mrs. Hayes.

ria had seen them, and soon Williams
ushered them into the library. The
presence of the two women prevented
all open discussion OF political mat
fers. Even had 1t not been for Miss
Kerr and Mrs. Hayes there could have
been no controversy. because after
Wright had made his position clear he
would not talk further about it. Now
he was merely waiting for Gloria.

Wright was on the point OF again
urging her to leave Belmont when he
heard the faint cries OF newsboys far
down the street. Nearer and nearer
came the boys. Louder and louder
were their cries. Street sales In Rel.
mont were SO small that the little
urchins who sold papers to chance
customers We're never very noisy. An
unusual clamor on their part beto-
kened some extraordinary piece Of
news. Their shouts at last began to

good chance to git out without admit

Licked! Licked!" echoed Wright
with fine disdain. I've just begun

feat at this minute than you ever were
before In all your life. You're going
down and the people Of Belmont are

culating name he had taught every
n tc fear.

there Is no telling. The words were
scarcely out OF Wright's mouth when

men turned to find that David Kerr's
daughter was the cause. She stood in
the doorway hesitatingly, recognizing
that she was i%nterrupting a business
meeting.

but from the window I saw Mrs.
Hayes on the street. and | thought, I'd
go to her."
III join YOU" Wright announced.
He left his place at the table and
walked over 10 where Gloria was
standing.

ventured Gilbert.

the newspaper man. Then, looking
at Kerr. he added. Il think I've made
my position perfectly clear"

seemed to regard his answer as final.

This direct threat was more than
