NINTH EPISODE
The Shadow of Scandal

pitiful fate played on Gloria. She
had ordered her wedding gown while
she was dangerously III. But now her
bridegroom would not appear The
newspapers said Tint he was drowned
in the lower bay She believed She had
seen him thI0lled TO death on River
side drive, and her mourning was em-
Uttered with doubt
At such an inconHuous moment the
little bridal gown came home from the
dres smaker's to torture her with its
beauty and its futile intent Gloria was
in her bedroom, looking out of her
window at the fateful monument be-
low living over again the scene of the
murder.
With the pathetic droOp of her head
and her arms hanging at her sides. and
the long lines of her gown sweeping
about her inert almost lifeless FORM
she stood like Tanagra figure of
grief. Poor little soul. she was just
entering the real world Of womauho0d
when he grim arms of tragedy iuf0ld-
ed her 1t was her first great sorrow
Her old nurse came toward her.
Glorin moved gave a little moan Of
horror and ran to put her head ON the
nurses breast, sobbing out her pent-up
agony.

It's too horrible. A week ago he was
alive and happy. Now he-oh, I'll go
mad If 1 think about what he is nowl7
"There, there, Miss Gloria" the
nurse impOrtuned her. "Try to keep
your mind off your loss as much as you
can. Think of your father and your
brother and how much they need you.
That will help you"
A knock was heard at the door and
the nurse went to it to admit Doctor
Royce. His heart contracted with
quick pain at sight of his idolized pa

chair and made a brave effort to stihe

women eyed each other with con-
straint. Neither wished to sneak first
of freneau. Gloria noted the, haggard
mien of Lois with wonderment. Cast
ing about for something to say She
fumbled with the books on the rack.
The picture of Freneau fell out.
The blood pounded in Gloria's heart
and spread a quick flush over her face
as She picked it up She turned it over
and read the inscription. She asked
bewilderedly: "How did this come
herew
Lois, controlling herself with diff
Guilty, tried to speak.
WAS it you, then, who stole it from
my roomY Gloria hurled the question
with set lips and glittering eyes.
With a desperate inspiration Lois
explained. yes, I stole it. / was go
ing to surprise you with it. And then
he died"
Gloria was touched, and believed as
inpulsively as she had suspected.
Throwing her arms about Lois. she
embraced her. "Thank you. dear; it
Wos wonderful Of you to think of that.
You are so very thoughtful 1 must
go now" She slipped into her coat
in spite of the protests Of Lois. and
left her. She took the photograph with
her, and Lois dared not protest.
Far away in Colorado town lived
woman who after all was most to be
affected by Richard Freneau's death.
for she had given him more than Clio
ria with her young girls heart or Lois
with her guilty love. She had given
him birth.
In a quaint, old-fashioned sitting
room the venerable, sweet woman was
sitting in a rocking chair before the
fire. On her mantel were portraits of
freneau as a child and as a man. She
put down her knitting and rose with
some dificHlty Clnging to the man
tel, she took down one Of the photo
graphs and, turning it, read in the
beloved handwriting: "To my dazzling
mother from her adoring son, Dick"
She kissed the photograph and car
ried it back to her chair.
An elderly maid brought in the morn
ing paper and a few letters, which the
mother ran through eagerly. Find

Ing none from Dick. she shook her fin.
ger reprovingly but affectionately at
the photograph; she then leaned back
in her chair to glance carelessly over
the paper
Almost Immediately her eyes lighted
on the headlines announcing her sons
death, with a hint Of suicide. The
shock Of the news almost killed the
mother; for she was old and Dick was
her only child and she knew only the
good side of him. The evil that he
wrought in the world was mercifully
kept from her.
The maid, hearing her moan, ran
out of the house and summoned the
doctor who was caring for her. He saw
that her disease was the incurable one
that mothers are often prey to. the
loss Of their children. There was no
remedy for this in the doctors books
and the only help he could give was
to answer her one remaining wish that
her sons body should be brought home
to be buried in the family plot where
his father lay and where she hoped
soon to rest.
The doctor telegraphed the mothers
request to Freneau's partner, Frank
AIulry, who took steps at once to
comply.
Thus it was that Gloria was de-
prived even Of the sad satisfaction of
following her lover to the grave. Her
chief enemies were those who loved
her best, Stephen Royce and her own
father. They would do everything
they could TO thwart her When she
learned Of his mothers wishes her first
impulse was to go to Colorado herself,
but that impulse she quickly put aside;
for her most important duty was to
find his murderer. and that search she
must start at once.
Pierpont Stafford felt a deep resent
ment against the world for its treat
meni Of his children. He had won and
held a position Of power in the finan-
cial world. He had made millions Of
dollars and he controlled more yet
his son was married to a worthless
woman and his daughter mourned the
death Of blackguard.
He could not buy happiness for his
children and his own success was

Gloria was convinced, at least for
the moment She nodded her head in

with resentment at the plan to shield

Lois went - her dressing table, took

and drew from It the silver-framed
photograph of Freneu that she had
stolen from Gloria Staring at it long
ingIv, she kissed IT, then, pausing with
anxious jealousy, lifted it from it's
frame and read the inscription on the
back:

my heart. Dick"
Lois rscoiled from the words as IL
they struck her in the face. Then, turn
ing the photograph toward her again,
She gazed at it searchngly Suddenly
she snOte it with her clenched fist and
threw 1t from her But at once, with
swift revulsioD Of feeling. She knelt
and clasDed it 10 her bosom again,
bursting into dry sobs and misery.
She was Interrupted by a knock at
the door and the warning voice Of her
maid: Miss Stafford is calling, mad
am"
Lois was startled. She rose and
slipped the photograph between two
volumes i'm q book rack on a table and
called to her maid. "Show Miss Stat

Rushing to her dressing table, she
hastily ran a powder puff over her
face and brushed back her hair
When she turned it was TO confront
Gloria clad In heavy mourning. For a
moment the sight of the Grape stung
Lois TO jealous frenzy; next She deter
mined to make some excuse to wear
black herself. She felt that she had
a better right to mourning than Gloria
had.
Advancing, she kissed Glorias cool
cheek, mumbling: GLOW are YOU, dear?
DO you think you ought to be out on
such a cold day."
."Oh. yes" answered Gloria listlessIy.

TAKING RIGHT COURSE

Women of the University of Oregon
have taken up athletics. Not content
with the usual work of the women 's
physical training classes, they are pre-
pairing for their field day, May %, and
plan to make the event one Of the big
gest Of the college year. 1t win in
clude every kind Of sport. The pro-
gram of the day follows;
$500 o'clock---Canoe contests.
$3.50 O clock-TeDnis, golf, and arch
cry tournament.
$3.50 o 'clock-Final baseball game Of
the womens doughnet series.
1l:00 o'clocd--Track meet.
The track meet will probably be com
posed Of a hundred yard dash, broad
jump, high jump, shot put, and walking

The student body of the college has
given $25 to the women in charge with
which to purchase trophies.
Such events as this are making our
university and college courses more
than a mere routine OF classes and
study. They are giving American
schools friendly competition in athletics
which build strong bodies and develop
power to stand the strain Of modern
life.
American colleges are reaching the
right proportion between athletics and
study. The old scheme of things under
which few turned out for the track
and football squads and neglected their
work as students while the rest of the
school studied but forgot physical train
