was not good
Tho next day a resouer appeared in
unexpected guisa Her aunt. tho
great Hortensia Stafford. called to 500
her. raved over her beauty and hailed
her as a graduate from tho ranks Of
girldom.
You must have . coming-out
party" she said, and take up the
duties of womanhood."
Pierpont violently insisted that
Gloria was only a child. But he was
only a father and merely a brother to
Hortensia. SO she waved him aside
as a nuisance. Gloria embraced her
fsrvently and thought her an angel.
She changed her mind when It came
to sending out the invitations for the
debut. for Aunt Hortensia was a
stickler for social selectness and she
loved to blue pencil doubtful names.
Gloria made out a list OF those she
wanted. There were dozens Of girl
friends and few young men she had
known from childhood. She wrote
among those the name Of Richard
Freneau with loving nourishes. Aunt
Hortensia ran him through with one
straight thrust Of her deadly blue
pencil. Gloria protested. but Hor-
tensia answered:
II don't know him. I don't wish TO
know him. You have no time to know
him. Who Is he?"
When Gloria started to tell her she
would not listen. and Pierpont had
one cheerful moment. Gloria, how
over. would not lot her lover be
snubbed 80 arrantly. She knew that
argument with this imperative rela-
tive was worse than useless. 80 she
merely nodded her head in obedience
and set about to circurhvent her. fut-
tering about again while her aunt re-
turned to her own list. Gloria an
nexed an invitation, an envelope and
a pen, and the deed was done. An In
vitation TO Mr.. Richard Freneau re-
posed In the basket with those all
ready for the mail. and with elab-
crate innocence Gloria danced over to
her ignorant relation.
When that invitation was received
AZ the office Of Freneau & Mulry It
seemed like a message from heaven to
the almost broken brokers. The busi-
ness was in fearful shape and they
were about ready TO close up shop
unless some miracle should occur to
tide them over.
Mulry had been pacing the noor.
discussing ways and means: Freneau
was disgustedly beating a tattoo on
the desk when the office boy entered
with the mail. On the top lay the
large envelope. Opening II. Frenea,i
read that Mr.. Pierpont Stafford and
Miss Gloria Stafford requested the
pleasure Of his company at debut

Mulry blew long whistle and said.

Gloria tried TO dodge the gnat-iike

They followed among the pillars
about the ballroom floor. They cor
nered her ut last. and Doctor Royce
confronted her. She was about to
take him in desperation whom she
saw Freneau at her shoulder.
He was the man Of men. but a
sudden shyness overwhelmed her
Her bethrothal TO him had not been
ratified again, and she was afraid TO
let every one see her choose him.
Her humid eyes caught sight OF her
father, who was smiling in the hope
that there was security In numbers.
She made a dive at him and made
him her beau. Everybody admired
her tactful choice; but Pierpont
knew more about Investments than
about tho fox trot, and he had more
rheumatism in his muscles than
grace. He made a sorry figure In the
crowd of dancers, and finally COL
lapsed In Royce's arms Gloria s's-
gied.
"I turn him over 70 you, doctor"
Royce laughed Till he saw that she
surrendered herself to Freneau. Then
he frowned He was in miserable
di,enma. He could see that Freneau
cast a spell over the young soul or
Gloria. and ne knew him 70 be un-
worthy of the girls trust. Royce
knew that Freneau was n cad. He
had stolen from Royce tho fruits OF
M. victory over the Indian CHIEF.
Royoe had fought for Gloria and for
h,s own life while Freneau carried
her off. And now Royce wanted 20
save her from Freneau as he had
saved her from the Seminole. But.
alas! this was quite another matter.
for Gloria did not want TO be saved.
Royce could not bring himself TO
declaring the truth Of the matter, for
he could not endure to exploit his
own prowess. He knew enough OF
the world, too. 10 know that II he
went TO Gloria with criticism of her
cavalier he would only add TO FIRE.
neau the charm OF persecution. He
was in the presence OF complication
OF dangerous symptoms. and he did
not know how TO act 10 prevent their
developing into a plague OF troubles.
He could only do what he could to
keep Freneau assured that his con-
quest OF the young girls heart would
not be opposed.
Suddenly a careless glance at Lois
gave him start She was in such
distress that he moved TO her to offer
his help. She was watching Freneau
dance with Gloria. She saw how
content they were together and her
heart turned sick. But before Royce
could reach her determined youth
cut in on Gloria's dance with Freneau
and dragged her from his arms for
the rest of the dance. Then Freneau
hurried TO Lois.
Instantly Lois was better, smiling
once more, for now 1t was she whom
Freneau encircled with his arm and
piloted through the skipping and
gliding traffic on the ballroom floor.
Freneau held Lois tightly and whis-
pered TO her honeyed lies. He ex-

vividly describing how little Gloria
had been lost in the Everglades of
Florida and taken prisoner by a tribe
Of Seminoles. and how Freneau had
tracked her through the wilderness
and saved her from the young chief
who was determined to make the girl
his squaw. Freneau's language bad
all the vividness that only fiction
achieves. But Mulry still laughed:
"You never saved a kitten from a
poodle" He knew Freneau.
F'reneau was furious. but Mulry
looked him up and down with a con-
temptuous admiration. Then, sober
Ing quickly and. taking the invitation
from Freneau's hand. no slapped HIN
on the back and said:
"The main thing is that she thinks
you saved her. so it's her turn 10 save
you. Marry her quick! We can bor-
row a big wad on your father-in-
laws mere name"
Freneau saw the point and prom
ised. His triumphant smile did not
last long.
His mind shifted back and forth
like a shuttlecock. weighing all the
chances. There was his ENHANCEMENT
with Lois. What a double-dyed fool
he had been to firt with Gloria's SIS
ter-in-law! How very careless or
him! She might spoil everything
She would be bound to see and know
something Of his courtshtp.
He felt sure he could win Gloria
over again as he had won her heart
five years before. provided he could
still pose in the light of a courage
Gus and faithful suitor. But Lois
must be kept from running every
thing. His best chance lay in speed,
he thought. and his ability to keep
Lois quiet.
His face cleared and his most
charming smile was turned to Mulry.
"All right. Wen marry her"
Standing at the head Of the ia
nous Stafford STAIR in line with her
aunt, her girl friends, and Lois, was
the most exquisite debutante OF the
n
many in her long life, but she heaved
a small. polite sigh OF great pride
and contentmont as she glanced over
the imper!ous young figure at her
side.
Miss Stafford had insisted that
simplicity be the keynote of her
niece's attire at this afternoon re-
ception in her honor. but the cum
ming OF the dressmaker had con-
trived to cause the appearance OF
simplicity over most complicated
study In beauty line. Yet above the
wealth Of fabric the Joyous youth Of
Gloria shone forth transcondent.
The house was so filled with
flowers sent by admiring friends and
hopeful suitors that the affair was
like a merrymaking in the gigantic
conservatory. At the foot Of the
steps stood a footman. rcsplendent

by the appearance OF Gloria. He was

Standing at the head of the stair was the
most exquisite debutante of the season.
Gloria's heart pounded proudly beneath her
chiffons. 1t was not half bad to be YOUNG
queen in ones own palace and at last to be
considered a real part of 1t. Yet as guest
after guest was presented she gave each only
an instant's eraciousness, and her ears
strained for the magical name of her idol,

This will be a real championship

Baltimore fans are enthusiastic
over Chaney's chances. basing their
hopes on the fact that he is able to
deal out left hand slams with
enough force behind them to fell q

remarkable record of quick vic

is higher than any other boxer in
the ring. Many of his victims were
fairly well known men, but none
could be regarded as first class.
AS this is to be a championship

CLANCY has not approached in years.
