might be hungry. There's tho buffet
upstairs"
Gloria smiled and understood and
accepted the challenge. She said she
was famished. Tho corridors and the
massive stairway were empty at this
time and they scampered UP to the
refreshment room like children.
Gloria was enchanted by tho array
OF cakes and became hungry in the
presence OF the feast. She poked her
finger at tho most toothsome.
Give mo this. give me this: one Of
these, two Of those. and n chocolate
and pistache Ice cream-and some
lemonade"
Love had evidently not ruined her
young appetite
Freneau led hcr to a table and they
began to renew old acquaintance. She
renewed her five-year-old expression
Of gratitude TO him for rescuing her
from the Indians. and he had neither
the courage nor the honesty TO admit
that II was not he but Doctor Royce
who had fought tho chief to . liestill.
Freneau and Gloria had many things
to discuss. but he did not te1 her all
the mischief no had been up TO in the
Ave years test. That went without
saying They did not know that the
room filled UP with a ohattering mob
when the curtain went down. nor
that the chattering mob disappeared
when the curtain went up again.
Gloria prattled on. munching her
cakes and ice and slipping her lemon
ado. Suddenly she felt her enr seized
In a familiar grasp. Her father had
wakened with a start when the Or
chestra stopped playing. He had
blinked ABOUT in the sudden bright
lights and missed his daughter. She
was lost in the mazes OF the opera
house. He was tempted to offer a
reward for her. as he had when she
decamped into tho Everglades.
He decided to search first for her
himself. He found the estray in tho
deserted BUFFET, spoonins up the last
OF her Ice cream and the best Of Fre-
neas's batteries. He dragged her out
OF heaven. She fought him all tho
way down the stairs. but no would
not let her go. He would not let FIRE.
neau come near
At the next intermission her father
tagged along like a younger brother.
Before she could get to Freneau. her
sister-in-law, Lois, captured him.
Lois rebuked Freneau for his atten-
tions 10 Gloria and reminded hin. Of
his oaths OF fidelity to her own un-
faithful self. He made light OF his in
terest in Gloria and was avowing his
devotion to Lois when her husband
appeared at their elbows.
They masked their confusion as best
they could and Freneau sauntered

red velvet coat. and knee breeches.
At the edge Of the receiving line
the old butler. Griggs. kept calling
each guests name clearly and dis
tinctly. so that the hostesses need
not puzzle their wits over who was
who.
Gloria's heart pounded proudly be-
meath her chiffons. 1t was not half
bad TO be young queen In ones own
palace and at last to be considered
real part OF 1t. Yet as guest after
guest was presented TO her aunt she
gave each only an instant's gracious
ness, then her eyes went beyond and
her ears strained for tho magical
name Of her idol-Freneau.
She did. indeed. give a little extra
honor TO one old friend. As Doctor
Royce mounted the stairs Gloria ran
forward from the line TO greet him
specially. She presented him to her
aunt. and his heart glowed warmly
with Gloria's welcome. Aunt Hor-
tensia's keen eyes lit up with pleasure
as she greeted him too. for some thing
about the look of his eye and the grip
OF his hand gained her worldly wise
favor. But Gloria's affection for
Royce was not love. and when he
turned back to her for a word he
found her distraueht. He sighed and
passed on TO Lois. waving her little
hand to some one in the ascending
stream Of guests.
When Doctor Royce had shaken
hands with the rest of the hostesses
he saw Freneau already holding
Gloria's hand. There was an express
sion OF ownership on his face. and he
made no bones about incidentally
holding UP a line Of indignant guests.
Royce saw the look Of alteration in
Gloria's countenance. and he burned
with righteous jealousy.
From this time on through the en-
tire afternoon Royce made himself a
Nemesis on the trail OF Richard Fre-
neau. Through the ballroom, the
tearoom, the library. and conserva-
tory Royce followed the Gloria hunt
ing man. He could not do much. but
he hoped to shame Freneau a little.
and he put all his contempt into his
eyes whenever Freneau's attempts TO
get a word alone with Gloria became
too fiagrantly expressive.
The chase was watched also by
another-ths terrified, conscience
haunted wife OF David. Lois had
given up her peace and happiness
and her respect Of self for the prize
that she now saw being taken from
her. She felt no repentance. but only
a helpless rage.
Gloria had counted on dancing the
first dance with Mr.. Freneau. She
was so beset with wooers that he
could not reach her. He was not
the only man in New York willing to
make love to the heiress of the Stat
ford wealth. who was. incidentally,
lowered in her own right with a
beauty and magnetism that would

away. David glowcred after him and
glared at his wife. He had not for
gotten that Freneau had been his
rival for Lois's ficklo heart before
they were married. He did not dream
how deeply she was involved with
Freneau now; but tho first seed of
suspicion was sown. I,ois's father.
Judge Freeman. had not forgotten
Lo1s's early infatuation for the young
broker. who had a gift OF making
women reckless. He saw how David
was miffed. He saw also how Gloria
tried to reach Freneau. only to lose
him in tho crowd. The Judge was
trained in observing human nature.
He even ventured to speak TO Gloria.
II wouldn't think too much OF that
Freneau fellow II l were you. Gloria"
But you aren't me. are you,
and the Judge retired. mumbling:
NO! III have to admit that!"
Then Pierpont came up and COM
PEELED Gloria 10 80 back and listen to
nero opera, when she wanted to hear
Freneaus glorious voice. When tho
last curtain fell and tho multitude
flooded the corridors she did not get
a glimpse OF him. Her father kept
watch over her and Gloria went homo
amazed at the cantankerous meddle-
somcness of parents in love affairs.
She told her father that he ought to
be In better business than playing the
demon chaperon, but he only smiled.
She was all he had and he wanted TO
keep her to the last moment. He
wanted also TO make some investiga-
