fused to work out her problem in alge-
bra she had been forbidden to go into
the water. Nevertheless she had fla
GRAVITY rebelled, secretly arrayed her
self for the bath, and fled. 1t would
do to let her have her own
way.
"Er-um-I see,' said Stafford. He
bowed meekly and returned with still
less courage to face his daughter.
A widower with a woman-child Of
sixteen Is pathetic enough at best, but
Gloria was 30 effulgently sixteen. so
eagerly alive. and so enchantingly
pretty that her father was disarmed
by a mere glance at her. His anger
was sure to melt in a shamefaced
smile.
In the meanwhile Gloria had made
the most of her stolen moments and
with swift overland strokes had put
9 number of cleaning breakers be,
tween her and the shore.
She turned just in time to see her
father beckoning to her with his best
imitation of the stern parent. She
knew that the governess had cowed
him, and she did not wish to humili-
ate him by her W disobedience.
So she swan back through the
heads floating on the water like ap-
pies floating In a Halloween tub. 1t
made her boiling mad to be disgraced
before all the important people. She
could see some Of them grinning at
her. Her brother David openly ridi-
culed her and splashed water over
her.
She pretended not to notice him.
but, reaching her father at last, she
hurled herself upon him and ducked
him under the water. Then she scram-
bled to the beach. When the enraged
governess seized her by the wrist Clio
ria tried to pull her into the froth.
But the g%overness was too big for her
and she hauled Gloria out OF the ro-
mantle sea into q hard world Of dry
sand and drier mathematics.
Gloria skunk along in a white rage.

vas not often sullen and never NOR

and mischief. all the fresh and sweet
OF life. But she loathed being told to
do things or not to do things, forbid

She was poised at the nameless stage
between childhood and girlhood. She

Freneau was handsome-much too
good looking for his own good or the
good of any girl or woman he focused
his eye upon. Freneau was magnetic
and he was great fun, but David Stat
ford was good business. To capture
the son of Pierpopt Stafford would be
high finance-something tremendous.
The judge, her father, kept his eyes
on Lois more than on the golf ball,
and landed in the bunkers with regu-
larity. He knew that his daughter
was up to some mischief, but he was
sure that it was not the innocent mis-
chief of the obstreperous Gloria.
Gloria Stafford, exquisite in her
bathing suit, was like a bisque figure
come to life-very much to life as
she stood outside her bedroom door
and held the knob against her gov
erness, who tugged in vain at the OPP
posite knob. Then Gloria let go, and
the governess went staggering back
ward across the room, while Gloria
with shrieks of laughter made her way
off and down the corridor and out to
the beach.
The beach being no less than Palm
Beach. she lodged among throngs of
the well known, the much photo
graphed, who were also making their
way, though more sedately, to the
surf. 1t was twelve o'clock, the fash
ionable bathing time. To be seen in
the water more than half an hour
earlier or more than half an hour late
was socially fatal.
The governess followed the fugitive
in hot haste, but Gloria sought refuge
in the crowded ocean She dived and
stayed under as long as she could, but
Miss Sidney deserted her at once and
g~esticulated violently, commanding
her to come back. Gloria merely
bobbed her pert little bonnet and
splashed in behind her father. Miss
Sidney persisted and Gloria gave her
father a push, saying: you go make
her let me alone. Tell her she'll be
sorry il she doesn't"
The capitalist floundered out with
the apologize of an over
grown schoolboy, for even he was
afraid Of the ~governess. And he was
not very impressive in a bathing suit.
He made his way to Miss Sidney's
presence and mumbled: Would you
mind IL Gloria had her morning swim,

she would get a bit of moonlight for
herself.
She dashed across the lawn and,
stepping into the car, commanded it
to obey her wild will, and away it
went like a magic carpet.
Her practiced hands and feet knew
the steering wheel and the clutch and
the brakes and all, and there vas a
rapture beyond words in her power,
her liberty, her speed. At last she was
being obeyed and not obeying. This
leaping monster outran the greyhound
and bore her down moonlit lanes.
Swallowed with palms and beautiful
strange trees and shrubs Of exotic
shape and perfume.
The road ran along the sea and the
waves laughed with her. Out in the
haze che saw q great f%ull-rigged ship
loafng along the gulf stream. But she
was in a better ship.
She could imagine the bewilderment
Of David and Lois when they stepped
out for their clandestine escapade and
found that somebody else had clandes-
timely escaped with the car. She
laughed aloud at the picture.
She could imagine that governess
waking at the racket of her own
shores and getting up with a start,
deciding to see II Gloria were
still In Jail. She could see her putting
her fset into her clippers and going

Manuel Trujillo, a life along Demo

ucators of Sandoval county, has an
nounced publicly and emphatically
that he could rot support the Jones

life would leave the party and cast
his ballot for Mr.. Bursum and Mr..

stand the selfish, arrogant admins
tration the Mcdonald crowd has been
dishing out to the public. The mud

MOTOR GOSSIP
By "sT, GROGAN.

The difference between paying a mud
road tax and a pike road tax is that
in the former case you deposit your tax
in every mud hole you pass through and
on every trip you make and never get
any benefits, while in the other you de-
posit it with the county trustee once a
year and make it pay you back many
fold by being able to haul larger loads.
Representatives of the Firestone Tire
and Rubber Company are asking motor
lists In general to make a careful dis
tinction between tire trouble and rim
trouble. They say that much of the
vexations that have been attributed to
tires might readily have been avoided by
the use of proper rims.
Today it Is generally recognized that
the major part of tire trouble may be
avoided by rims that give adequate sup
port to the tire and that are readily re-
movable. That the motoring public ap-
preciates at their full value rims of this
type is shown by the tremendous growth
of the Firestone rim plant in the last
few years.
Today the rim factory alone occupies
more floor space than did all the build
ings of the Firestone Tire and Rubber
Company in 1910. And with this in
creased popularity OF demountable rims
mas dlSO COIue q greater lTenQ toward
standardization. For example 70 out of
about 125 automobile manufacturers in
the United States, whose standard equip
ment includes demountable rims, will use
Firestone rims exclusively for the 1916
season. This represents a demand of
nearly a million demountable rims which
has necessitsted a large addition of 100
feet by 500 feet to the present large fac
tory space.
The Firestone company is calling spe-
cial attention to the 100 representatives
distributed throughout the country in or
der that its unequaled service offered to
Firestone rim users may be appreciated.
Likewise are they emphasizing the spe-
cial features of the rim itself, such as the
continuous wedge support, the inter
changeable character of different rims
which permit the use of clincher or
straight side tires, simplicity of construc-
ton, ease of removing owing to the
fact that the rim cannot stick or rust.
