FIFTH EPISODE
The Gathering Storm.

Daughters are dangerous charges,
Pierpont," said Judge Freeman. The
two elderly men stood watching the
dance which was in full swing at
the contingent party of Gloria Stat
ford. The men were related to each
other by marriage-the marriage Of
Stafford's son David and Freeman's
daughter Lois-whatever relations
that made them.
Pierpont Stafford nodded a worried
assent to the judges statement and,
turning his eyes reluctantly from the
grace and charm of his own girl who
was dancing with an almost lyric po-
etry of motion, EMBODIED in the arms
of Richard Freneau, Pierpont looked
for Judge Freeman's girl, Lois, to find
a specific cause for the judges dole
full remark. What he saw puzzled
him considerably. He saw Lois, not
dancing, but watching Gloria and Ere
neau. There was a look of unmistak-
able jealousy and helpless rage on her
face. He saw his son David speak to
her and put his hand on her arm, only
to have her shake him off and move
away into the crowd.
Pierpont felt suddenly terribly
afraid for his sons honor, and gnaw-
ing ache in his heart for Lois IA
Their, who stood beside him. But it
was far too delicate a situation for the
two men to discuss-yet.
Children are hostages of fortune,
as Bacon, the playwright, said," Pier
pont murmured, putting his hand on
the other mans arm. After all, how
little it is we can really save them
FRONT"
Gloria was being watched jealous
ly by yet another, Doctor Royce, who,

Of ferocity from their kennels when
The car drove in. They changed their
excited barks to yelps of welcome as
they recognized Gloria. But she left
them disconsolate, for a groom brought
up from the stable yard her shaggy po-
MES harnessed to the little Russian
sleigh.
AS she stopped to pet the noses of
the ponies Freneau lost for a moment
his confidence in his own power to
win this small young beauty en-
veloped in a great coat, which made
her seem smaller still, her eyes beam
ing, her cheeks flushed with the cold,
her delicate pink blonde curls escap-
ing from the little fur-trimmed hat.
With this palatial background,
among the obsequious attendants, she
stood, more than ever for him, the
embodiment of power,-youth, beauty,
wealth. What had he to offer in
exchange for that worldly trinity?
Spoiled by women as he was he felt
that however sincerely he wanted this
slip of a girl-wanted her more than
he had ever wanted anyone else in his
life-she might elude him.
Gloria turned to him with a bright
smile, and seeing the look of adora-
ton in his eyes, blushed an even
deeper rose than she had been wear
ing.
Il think we had better start at once
if we are to get our sleigh ride" she
said. "The days are so short now;
we must make the most of this stingy
sunlight"
Right" Freneau answered eager
~ as he helped her into the sleigh.
The ponies were champing at the
bits and jingling the bells and waving
the pompons on their heads with
every impatient movement. Gloria
stepped into the drivers seat (she was
going to drive them herself, wise
girlD and Freneau snatched the sa-
BILE robe from the hands of groom,
saw that her little feet were in place
on the foot warmer, and proceeded to
wrap her snugly in. (How nicely he
did things of that sort, she thought

hours, probably stop somewhere for

his reverie, dismissed it as an unpleas-
ing it any place in his thoughts, and
turned his mind to Gloria-the be-
witching girl-woman to whom on the
morrow he would tender his heart
and hand, for all that they might be
worth.
Meanwhile Gloria herself, tired be-
yond words, her pretty right hand stiff
from the endless shaking of other
hands at her reception, her tiny feet
weary Of their satin slippers and her
ears tingling still with the buzz of
compliments poured into them, was
ecstatic as a full-hedged birding after
its first long fight.
The last of the guests departing, she
threw her arms about her fathers
neck and gave him a resounding kiss.
Swinging her feet free Of the floor,
she kicked off her slippers. Then
she Rugged Aunt Hortensia and
thanked her, and, please did she and
father mind if the new social leader
left them and betook herself to bed,
where they might send her crackers
and milk for her dinner before she
toppled of to sleep?
They laughed through their own
WEAKNESS as Gloria, gathering up her
cast-away footwear, proceeded to
drag herself up the staircase, bent far
over in imitation of an ancient cripple.
Reaching her own room, she
screamed Justify to Burroughs, her
English maid, to run a hot bath for
her, and for goodness sake to get her
out of her wreck of dress. AS Bur

they passed the lodge door. She felt
the thrill of being a runaway once
more, and she was glad that her IA
tber was not present to thrust a chap
eron upon them.
Out into the road and off they went,
youth, health, and joy of life in their
veins; love in their hearts. The po-
MES pranced and cavorted, somewhat
too strenuOusly, Freneau feared, I'M
til he realized how skillfully Glorias
hands were in handling them. On
they glided merrily, chatting of the
big nothings of young love, Gloria
pointing out paths and places Of in
terest, Dick F'reneau seeing them
only as they were mirrored in her
eyes, since he could not bear to turn
away from her lest he lose one fleet
ing expression Of her face.
After several miles of "up hill and
down dale" Gloria turned her ponies
off the main road into one less used.
Pm taking you to the dearest. old
fashioned farmhouse, where we can
have tea and the nummiest apple but
ter you ever tasted. Shall you like it? ?"
Il shall like anything and every
thing in this world, so long as I have
it with you," Freneau breathed ear
nestly.
Then that's all right" chirruped
Gloria, happily. you shall most
certainly have this tea with me, and
I'm famished."
When they reached the farmhouse,
which called itself an inn, the plump
landlady greeted Gloria with pleased
recognition and ushered them into the
parlor, saying that she would hasten
with their tea and bring the table to
them there by the fire. FTeneau
helped Gloria out OF her great coat

thought. She emerged like a golden
brown butterfly. in velvet gown.
The blazing logs in the deep fire
place gilded the beauty of a truly
charming old room. Gloria fingered
the quaint pewter pieces on the man
tel and Freneau waited restlessly for
Mrs. Bailey to hurry in with the tea
things and hurry away. Soon they
were left alone, seated opposite each

After this Gloria was silent.
She hoped hurriedly into bed from

Then she told Burroughs to put cut

disturbed.

On the following day, all arrange
