Freneau walked away in a daze.
Yesterday he was brokers' clerk.
Today he was the son-in-law elect of
one of the country's wealthiest men.
What were five years to him?
Five years sounded unimportant to

Freneau hated Royce, for We rarely

Gloria was gone and Lois was gone,
but an attractive youth like Freneau
was not left alone In such multitudes
OF women as gather at Palm Beach
with no more serious purpose than
escaping the cold drafts of the North
and the torments of boredom in the
South.
He spent so much time gathering
the applause from fair women that
when the season closed at Palm Beach

had done nothing, they wrote, to en-

But I'm no longer Miss Freeman,
said she.
I'm still Mr. Freneau," said he.
"I'm now Mrs. Stafford

sounds familiar" said Freneau.
Surely you haven't forgotten David
Stafford, your old rival for my young
affections?"
"Of course not" said F'reneau. I've
never forgiven him for cutting me
out. How long have you been mar

THIRD EPISODE

Never before in all her luxurious
young life had Gloria encountered the
slightest hardship. The most ex
Quirite OF the niceties of existence had
been hers as regularly as the breath
she drew. So she had wearied OF then
and rebelled And now she had found
that adventure was not altogether
pleasant, either. A primeval jungle
Inhabited BY a primeval people was
to say the least, distinctly uncom
Portable.
Gloria felt 1t especially lucky that
since she had to be rescued fate had
been polite enough to select a good
looking rescuer for her. The more
she studied Mr.. Freneau the better
she liked him. He had nice name,
too-a nice, marriable name.
The only fly in the ointment was the
bad behavior of DR.. Royce. She had
thought him charming But now he
6ulked and moped.
DR.. Royce was glum because he did
not know just what he ought to do.
He was confronted with a duty that
he could not solve. It was like some
obscure disease, hard to diagnosticate.
To speak up and denounce Freneau
as liar and thief was impossible.
Royce had no proof that Freneau had
played either the cad or the coward.
He knew only that Freneau must have
seen him battling with the Indian, and
a decent man would have come to
the assistance of a fellow white.
Even if Freneau had felt that he ought
to put Gloria in the boat first, he
might have come back to help Royce.
But Freneau had left Royce to his
fate. That was ugly.
Royce heard Pierpont Stafford say
to Freneau: "My boy, you've earned
the $1,000 reward offered. You've
earned million dollars!"
Now Royce felt that he understood
Freneau had been coaxed into the
everglades by that $4,000 lottery prize.
He had won it; and it looked as If
Freneau were expecting to win
Gloria's love in the bargain. For
Gloria was simply devouring him with
her eyes,
Royce knew little about Freneau,
and that little was not to his ad-
vantage. Freneau neglected his Of
flee, but neglected no opportunity for
a love affair. Dr. Royce had come to
Palm Beach as the private physician
of old Judge Freeman, and he had

| He behaved very shabbily in his at
fair with Nell Trask, and deserted her
cruelty because, at critical time for
her, he got tip on the market and
sold it to a broker, who gave him q
share of the proceeds.
He was so tired Of poverty that he
went to New York and anticipated his
promise. But Gloria and her father
were abroad on q summer vacation,
and Freneau was thrown on his own
resources. He flirted himself into an
other tip and sold that to q broker
named Frank Mulry.
Mulry knew the value of such q

otherwise. In the course of time FIRE.

sort of stowaway in a piratical raid

States Rights Would Not Suffer.
MT Thorn cited many instances in
which shippers in one state were in
Juriously affefted by selfish regula-
tions imposed on the railroads ny
neighboring states. He pointed out
that federal regulation would be no in
Vaslon or the; S;rights Of the states but
would be the means OF preserving the

the right to e free movement Of their
