EIGHTEENTH EPISODE
The Bitter Truth.

The distress of jealousy that Gloria
felt at the thought of Doctor Royce's
smiling and waving at someone else
had had pleasant tang, for jealousy
is IA phase of love. But now Gloria
stared ut Royce with adherence. He
was repulsive in her eyes as he ran
toward her in pursuit of the boy Stas,
then checked himself and watched her
with guilty apprehension when he saw
she recognized the envelope in her
hands. Gloria sent the boy away. told
him to run to his mother. She wanted
to be rid of him for the time.
"Give me the envelope, Gloria"
Royce pleaded.
"Glve it to you?" Gloria cried.
"What right have you to it? l know
whose 1t was. l know that it was
Dicks. Therefore it is mine and I'm
going to keep it,
Better not" he stamnered, his fac
ulties in such a panic that his hat fell
from his hand. He stopped to pick
1t up, his back to Gloria.
The envelope she held had sudden
ly revived her memories as clear as
reality. Her first memory was of the
scene in her room when she snatched
the envelope from Dick Freneau and
teased him with it. never dreaming
what 1t contained. Next she saw
anew that scene in front of the Sol
diers' and Sailors monument which
she had witnessed through the
binoculars. Once more she beheld
the monument In the moonlight and
the snowlight; the man in evening
dress. with his collar up and his hat

l had not the courage to hold him and
let him speak, so 1 added one more
shame to my malfeasance in Office.
"And now you know all that know.
Trask is here, David Is here. If you
want your brother accused in the open
court of murder, If you want your fam
lily In the headlines of all the papers,
then go ahead, turn Trask over to the
police and 1 will take my punishment
with the rest"
He walked away heavily as IL the
burden of life were breaking him
down. Gloria stood in daze, her
mind picturing the catastrophe that
must overtake the family If she were
to speak.
The world was very beautiful, cspe-
cially here in this paradise. She saw
David with Lois. Her heart quivered
at the thought of exposing him to pub
lie shame. She thought of him COVER
ing In cell in the death house be-
cause of her determination to avenge
lover of most doubtful honor.
She put off the decision till she could
decide what to do But one thing she
could do without bringing down public
ruin; one thing she must do. and that
was to drive from this paradise the
evil woman Lois, who poisoned the
very air.
She saw a servant approach David
and Lois; then David hurried to the
house. He had been called to the tele-
phone, perhaps. Lois sat down to wait
for him. An irresistible and very
womanly impulse sent Gloria straight
toward her. Lois looked up with a
smile as Gloria approached. Lois was
happy. She had been wicked and es-
| capped punishment. She had repented
and been enabled to keep what she had
lost the right to possess. Her husband
did not know of her guilt; he was no
longer jealous. And Doctor Royce was

devotion of his tone Her heart
softened toward him a little. and cnce
