Only fifty votes separate the two
leaders in the contest tonight.
Two coupons clipped from the pa
per would make up the difference.
One subscription for two-year Pc
riod would make vast difference in
the prospects of all the leaders, for
one such subscription would place the
fourth candidate in the lead for the
$1O50 Studebaker seven-passenger
touring car that is to be given away
only three weeks from now.
Seeley Has Luck.
A few days ago the Seeley repre-
sentative, who now stands third in the

greatly disappointed owing to the loss
Of over 1000 votes. This morning
they were found and turned in for hel
at contest headquarters. This is 8
bit of luck, for 1000 votes may make
a big difference to someone on the
last day. They were sufficient to re-
tain for her the lead for the 5000 fur.

win this $500 gold piece.
10000 Bonus Votes.
Until one week from tonight a bo-
nus of 10000 extra votes will be
awarded any who are able to secure
total of six new subscriptions for
a year or more each. If any are able
to secure enough business they will
be awarded the bonus a second or
third time. Some already have two
or three subscriptions toward the
six.
Still Time to Enter.
There is still time for a new con-
testant to enter and win any of the
prizes offered. Anyone could obtain
as many subscriptions in two weeks
as in much longer time, for all are
limited by the extent of their ac-
quaintance and anyone could easily
call on all their friends and acquain-
tances in two weeks time. There are
some big prizes to be won and it
would pay to try. Even second OF
third prize would well repay anyone
for the time and effort put forth and
it would not be hard to win even the
Studebaker touring car. Friends will
help. Everyone delights in helping
those who show by their own efforts
that they have the ambition and en-
ergy to make a determined effort fol
themselves.

Gloria Telephones For Doster Royce.
The miserable silence Was invaded
by the second man who appeared and
reported:
IF you please, sir, there's an army
of reporters at the docr."
Gloria threw up her hands in sur
render. David sprang to his feet. Pier
pont pushed MIN pack ana stalkec
out in a towering fury. He ordered
the newspaper raiders off. They bonn
barded him with questions. He had
to take refuge in the house. He re-
turned to the dining room livid with
wrath. He ordered the servants out.
He Numbered at Gloria.
"Now you see what would have hap
pened If you had told the police about
your delirium"
He stormed on, Gloria trying vainly
to break in. At last he was exhausted
and she spoke:
"But, daddy, it was no delirium.
[ saw poor Dick murdered. Last night
proved it, for 1 saw the man who
killed him. Why did the judge let him
go. Why don't you want him cap
tured?"
Pierpont stared at her, then took
her to the window and pointed to
the crowd Of reporters. He shook the
newspapers under her eyes, saying
MY one and only reason for silence
Is this PUBLICITY 1t is horriblel"
To one Of Gloria's training and posi-
ton the reporters were almost more
perilous than the police.
Suddenly she stared and pointed out
Of the window at two forlorn, ragged
figures strolling up the drive as il
they had wandered from the slums
and were lost. They were the waiter
Casimir, and his little boy. Stas. whom
Gloria had befriended at the night

soon mastered the fierce rteed.


His attention was attracted by pie
turs Of Indians on the walls. They
were doing scalp-tango about white
captive. Stas wanted to know all
about ii. He had thought Gloria an
angel before, but she grew still more
wonderful when she told him that she
herself had been an Indian captive.
He seemed to be a trife disappointed
when he learned that she had never
been honored by being tied to . stake.
She saved herself a little by explain
ing; Il might have been worse than
tied to stake If ] hadn't been res
cued by Mr.. Fre-I mean, Doctor
Royce"
Then she fell into such deep med
itation that Stas COULD hardly recall
her to finish the Story. 1t was not yet
ended when the butler and the second
man marched in with two towers Of
pasteboard b0xes-Stas' trousseau had
arrived.
Now there was excitement, indeed
and Gloria and Stas forgot the mere
Indians in the thrill Of dressing and
being dressed. Gloria began to fear
that she had adopted q hopeless fop
when she saw how Stas strutted in
his fnery. In his Knockers and frilled
shirt, his starched collar, silk tie, pat
ent leather Shoes and derby hat, he
looked like q pocket Beau Brummel.
And then her rapture turned to alarm.

SYNOPSIS.

Pierpont Stafford with his daughter
Gloria, winters at Palm Beach. Gloria is

Ereneau persuades her to forgive him.
Gloria's sister-in-law, Lois, becomes in
tensely jealous. Freneau goes seighing
with Gloria. 1t results in pneumonia for
Gloria. Doctor Royce is summoned. Ere
neau;s finances being low. he approaches
Pierpont Stafford. Lois threatens him with
dire punishment. Her husband, Gloria's
neau plans TO have Mulry send Gloria
bunch of kilograms. Gloria sees from her
window attack made upon Freneau.
Doctor Royce convinces her 1t is delirium.
Later, a telegram followed by a letter,
comes from Freneau. She replies, but her
kilograms are returned She sees the
supposed suicide of Freneau reported in
the paper. Gloria swears to find the muir
derer of her lover. Royce tells what he
knows of Freneau to Mr.. Stafford. To-
gether they seek to prevent scandal from
enVeloping Gloria. She accuses them in
her mind Of conspiracy against her Clio

meets Mulry, who fees at once. Gloria
insists on going to Palm Beach. Again

attacked Freneau. But Judge Freeman
releases him. She follows the tramp when
he leaves the court, and falls into the
hands OF holdup men. She finds herself
in a low saloon dance hall, and is Sc
lected by one Of the patrons as his part
ner. Doctor Royce, however, follows her

might agree on some new interest for
Gloria. They agreed to postpone the
task till after luncheon. BY that time
Gloria had flown.
As the luncheon neared its last
course Casimir was beckoned out by
an misunderstanding waiter. When he
returned he was evidently suffering a
great emotional strain. He made blum
ders and was so excited that when
Pierpont rebuked him Gloria took pity
