Pierpont Stafford was not unpre-
pared for the "Will you let me marry
your daughter" speech that Richard
Freneau made him. He had given his
own word five years before that if Ere
neau and Gloria found themselves in
the same frame of mind at this date he
would raise no further objections. He
gave up the fight now, and took his
defeat like the true sport he was, gra-
ciously concealing his own sad heart.
The radiance of his child and the
evident sincerity Of Freneau almost re-
paid him; at least they made him
hopeful for her happiness. One stip-
ulation only he insisted upon, that the
engagement should not be made pub
lie at once. He knew that engage
ments were not necessarily certain to
end in marriage, and he wanted to test
Freneau a little further. He insisted
upon guarding his daughters name to
that extent. If anything went wrong
with them they should not have to
take the great American public into
the secret. Freneau agreed to this,
the more readily since 1t would give
him the more time to propitiate and
get rid OF Lois. And old Trask might
have to be given his quietus in one
