Tho Picture Was That Of Her Father.
But it was not Mrs. Hayes, for Gloria
could hear the heavy tread ascending
to the floor above.
Little Ella was restless and rollbl
and tossed in her sleep. The daughter
of David Kerr looked with pity upon
her. Her discipline was too new. her
spirit was still too untamed for her to
understand fully the kinship of the
human race. Although she recognized
that she was herself without the caste
she thought was hers, she had not
come to know that on the last great
day there would be only the judgment
of the just and the unjust, not of the
high and the low, Of the rich and the
poor, of the wise and the ignorant. of
the master and the servant.
Poor GIRL" murmured Gloria. you
shall see that l do understand"
There was also much which she
could learn from this bit of flotsam
cast up by an unkind sea upon cheer
less shore. Seeing that Little Ella
was not sleeping soundly. her desire
to know more got the better Of her

sle cried with a contempt that wruns
her heart David Kerr, the king OF
underhand manipulators! David Kerr,
the man these wretched women look
TO for protection-and pay him for IT,
This new thought was a poisoned
arrow that sank into her heart. AS
she dwalt upon 1t her eyes fell upon
her handsome tailored coat and her
beautiful hat she had laid aside.
And with the money these unhappy
creatures pay, he--he-God In Heaven
Where did the money come from for
these clothes l wear? What shall
do? All these years. and l never
knew"
Where the money came from to pay
for her handsome clothes wracked her
as poignantly as would a great phys
ical pain. Her thoughts were incoher-
ent, skipping from one horrid phase
of the situation to another. Though
they were disconnected, they were not
vague. Each was a ruthless view OF
her deplorable position.
"Why did he let me come home:
How can l bear to have anyone look
at me on the street? / can hear them
now saying, That's she. the boss
| daughter. See her fine clothes. We
know where the money came from tc
buy them And I, like a leper, must
ever cry. 'Unclean. unclean.' and see
those whom l would love fee evel
on before me-"
This made her think again Of Joe
Wright. Surely he had loved her be
| yond all reason to have wished tc
| marry her, the daughter Of such {
| man.
Joe, poor old Joe, how he has SUI
fered because Of me-" She had chcser
in her blindness not to listen to him
and now he was gone forever. She
| had obeyed the dictation of pride anC
stified the prompting Of love, and nov
| her punishment seemed greater thar
| she could bear. HE did love me. He
knew, and still loved me. And l drove
him away. Well, it was better SO; but
he did not love me-once. It's better
so-for him."
| 1t was now far more grievous pros
pect than that of the long years which
had confronted her when she had real
lied the previous day how solitary was
to be her way. Then she had had pc
sition, power, and pride; now these
had been stripped from her. and moth
ing had been given her in their stead
In a passionate flood Of tears she sanl
to the floor and cried as If her hear
would break.
Through it all Little Ella slept, no
knowing that in her room was being
enacted a tragedy Of the heart more
profound than any she with all hel
shallowness could live in century o
heartaches.

CHAPTER XIX.

Grief made Gloria insensible to the
flight of time, and how long she had
been PROSTATE on the floor before
sounds on the stairs aroused her she
did not know. Thinking that 1t must
be Mrs. Hayes returning with a ply
stefan, she rose hastily and tried to
remove all traces of her tears. She
wished above all to avoid explanations,
and II none was asked she did not
wish to have her grief misconstrued

CHAPTER xvlIi.-continued.

CHAPTER xvtii.-Continued.
Little Ella had come to realize soon
after they had met that she was deal
ing with fledgling. Hence she bore
with her and answered her question
patiently.
Gosh! Little time he spends col
lecting money down here" Her tone
indicated clearly that he spent no
time at all. Whats the cops fer!
What's Mike Noonan fer? He's got

the boss got his from the big ganlblin'
houses, an the street car comp'ny. an
the Iectric light comp'ny. an big
things like that"
Then you're just drop in the
bucket" The magnitude OF the "sys-
tenn" was just beginning to dawn on
Gloria. She now saw that its ranif1-
cations were many, that there must be
much that even this woman. for all
her knowledge, could know little Of.
While she could not learn all from Lit
tie Ella, she could learn enough to
make her father investigate.
There's enough of us drops III Bel
mont to fill a pretty big bucket" the
girl admitted. Gimme a drink O wa
ter. will you? l never was SO dry at
Dutch picnic"
Gloria poured a glass Of water for
her. Then, feeling that she had not
been considerable in asking the girl to
tax her little strength by the recital Of
story that sadly wasted her vital en-
ergy, she begged her to rest.
You're still bit feverish. Lie
down now and rest. Try to 60 to
sleep, and I'll sit here and read"
Soon her patient seemed to sleep.
and Gloria picked up book and tried
to read. The revelations to which she
had listened made all possibility of
concentration upon the printed page
out Of the question. Suddenly It oc-
CURED to her that she did not know
the boss name. Just as this came in
to her mind, the girl turned restlessly
and opened her eyes. Finding that
she was awake, Gloria asked:
Tell me. what's the name Of the
boss!"
Eth? Whatf" Little Ella was not
thoroughly awake.

His name? Oh, it's Kerr. He's oil
Dave Kerr. Ever hear Of him."
Having reused herself sufficiently to
answer the question. Little Ella sank
again into doze.
Az for Gloria, it almost seemed that
the words meant nothing to her at all
80 slowly did her mind accept this in
telligence that the fall Of the book un.
noticed to the floor did not seem re-
lated in point Of time. Yet in fact II
told that her mind was intent upon
one question: Who was the boss OF
Belmont?
