for her especial torment In eariier
years they had been very near to each
other, and now 1t was bitter to Clio
ria's proud soul to watch David COM
ing and going At vi. dancing every
night, and fi1rting desperately with
Lois Freeman, whom Gloria did not
like because her brother did.
Oh. yes, David could fiirt his head
of, but her father turned white and
her governess turned blue IL Gloria
SO much as mentioned a lover in a
novel or suggested that she might
have one herself at some time in that
future which she was waiting for as
the next installment of an exciting
serial, Gloria was woman enough to
resent restraint and child enough to
be capable of making tragic blunder
II she ever broke away.
Gloria issued declaration of indie
pendence as soon as she reached her
room. 1t began with I'm too old to
have = governessn"
"Thanksl" Miss Sidney snapped.
You're more than welcome," Glo-
ria snapped back. Il want one thing
understood. This is the last time I'll
stand being treated as child. I'm
not one. At my age my grandmother
was the mother of my mother, and IL
you don't change your treatment of
me I'm going to run away and marry

People who are always going to do
things never do them" said the gov
erness, with the primness of a copy
book. But If you're so old and wise
suppose you prove it first by doing
your algebra lesson. It's very sim
pie"
They never made my grandmother
learn algebra" Gloria protested.
They never taught her to run an
automobile either"
That's another thing. My brother
has a car of his own and I haven't
even pushmobile. Half the girls of
my age have their own motors. 1 can
run one as well as any of them. It's
a shame that my father won't buy me
one"
Perhaps IL you learned your les
sons he might reward you with a car"
This rainbow OF hope brought the
end of the storm. Gloria beamed and
ran to slip out OF her bathing suit and
into her luncheon frock. The govern
ess almost smiled as she wrote the
problem ON tho blackboard she used
The Elbert County tribune., 1917-02-02

for Glorias lessons. When Gloria
came back Miss Sidney pointed to the
figures.
Its very simple, my dear" she
said. you have only to multiply at
b by alb"
But"
Work 1t out yourself. dear, and call
me when it is finished"
Gloria stared at the problem and felt
herself slipping back into childhood
at breakneck speed. She had no
more idea of what it all meant than a
newborn babe. She put on a pair of
big tortoise shell spectacles, bat they
made her look younger than ever and
gave her no help. She could see that
foolish atb, but she could not see why
anyone should want to know what
would happen II you did such fool
ish thing as to multiply it by itself.
When the blackboard blurred before
her eyes she moved to the window and
stared at the glittering merriment of
the crowd. Everybody was at play ex-
cept Gloria; people in bathing suits,
yachting fiannels, golf togs, tennis
things, bicycle clothes. motor gear.
They streamed along the walks, the
sand, the piazzas, sat In wicker chairs,
or rolled along in Automobiles.
By and by Gloria saw Lois Freeman
come in from the links. When Dick
Freneau sauntered up Lois deserted
her father at once. Gloria did not like
the way she ogled Mr.. Freneau. Lois
used the same languishing express
sions Gloria had seen her working off
on David.
Gloria wanted to run out and warn
poor Mr.. Freneau that Lois was de-
ceitful mink. Mr.. Ferneau had such
lovely. trusting eyes; 1t was CRIME
to lure him on. Gloria meditated.
They say he's broker-whatever
that is. l wonder what a broker
breaks-hearts probably. IL Mr.. Fer

Rather remarkable, isn't it," said
the sick old lion, Judge Freeman
"thst the most expensive hotel and
the most luxurious resort in the
world should be only few miles from

States army could never dislodge?'
yes, 1t is odd" said his young doc
tor, but the prices here are almost as
fmpenetrable as the knife grass OF the

United States navy couldn't dislodge

the Judge agreed. Here we've been
for two whole weeks and Lois doesn t
know anybody who is anybody-ex-
cept Pierpont Staffords boy, and I'm
afraid he's only flirting with her"
Doctor Royce had not been engaged
to prescribe for Miss Lois Freeman's 8
ambitions. SO he changed the subject.
''It's hard to believe that there is a
blizzard in New York today when you
look at these flowers and see those
half-dressed mobs wallowing in the

The Judge gave Jump and gasped:
Good Lord. hear that scream! Some

Royce checked him with a gesture
and smile.

Gloria turned and recognized her
visitor. Her eyes twinkled with af-
fection. She did like Doctor Royce!
David had presented him to her. Doc
tor Royce had graduated at David s
college; they were members Of the
same fraternity.
You ought to be out here in the
sum-" Doctor Royce suggested
Gloria was shocked at the idea. She
pointed to the blackboard. I'm in

Royce could not enter her room to
go to the blackboard. 30 he asked her
to bring the blackboard to him. She
fetched 1t joyously and gave him chalk
and said: There isn't any answer,
though
He was too polite to say, why. this
is the easiest thing in the world" but
he showed that it was for him by the
speed and smiling ease of his chalk
work.
In moment the riddle was solved.
Gloria understood it little less than
before, but 1t meant release from
captivity, and she was 30 entranced
that she flung her arms about him and
gave him a resounding kiss and called
him "a wonderful, marvellous, angel
man"
To her 1t was a kiss of childish
gratitude for the help of older wis.,

to the easel and began to copy the

But Royce stood qulvering with the
unexpected attack. He knew that 1t

The Most unkindest Cut.

The truest and most devoted friend
that man ever had is the little mani
mate bundle of nerves that stands
guard by his bedside through the
dead hours Of the nights, its palpitat-
ing little heart spreading cheer and
confidence over the surrounding
gloom. Yet man often forgets the debt
OF gratitude he owes this faithful and
tfreless little friend for the sleepless
watchful hours it subjects itself to In
order that he may slumber in secur-
ity and comfort, and when II sings its
merry morning lay I have seen him,
instead of bestowing fond caresses.

Soon she must grow up to womanhood
and-she must love someone, and why
not him? She was very rich, but his
own future was gorgeous in his
dreams. and Gloria was the most
gorgeous thing in his gorgeous
dreams.
Then he reproached himself for the
mood and grew sad at the thought of
the years that must roll over Gloria s
sunlit head before he could even pay
court to her. And in those years what
dangers might she not encounter
dangers to her health. her soul. her
happiness? He longed to protect her
through them all.
He saw that Gloria had already for
gotten him. She had copied his work
and sne was rubbing out his calcula-
tions. He wondered IL that were
prophetic, too.
When Gloria had the blackboard all
shipshape she howled to the govern
ess to come and see her triumph.
Gloria regretted the deception; but
what other refuge has the weak from
the strong?
Miss Sidney raised her eyebrows
and doubtless suspected that Gloria
had enjoyed outside aid; but she had
an engagement of her own with the
tutor of a rich young imbecile, and
she pretended to be convinced.
Gloria was permitted to call it an
algebra lesson, and for a reward she
was assigned to the study of list of
the English kings. Gloria did not mind
that, for she hid a stolen novel inside
the page and read something far more
important to her than ancient history
modern romance.
II Gloria had not learned lesson of
any Importance that day. neither had
her elders.

Lois obeyed with more grace than

sion. 1t would pay her OF for some OF
those cuffs on the ear that she had
given Gloria Gloria had been too good
a sport to tell on her. but she had not
forgotten them.
She could imagine the governess
picking herself up and running bare
foot into Gloria's bedroom-the empty
cage whence the bird had flown. Shs
could see the panic she fell into and
the funny sight she made in her bath
robe as she dashed out into the cor
ridor and hunted for Gloria's father
to give the alarm.
Gloria proved how far she was from
having outgrown her childhood by the

things that amused and justified her
fight. She was child, but she had
possessed herself of this perilous en-
gine. She was flying at forty miles an
hour along almost deserted roads, cut
ting through sleeping villages, little
GASES in a jungle that closed moro
and more gloomily, threateningly
about the road. She had no idea of
the time or the distance. She only
knew that at last she was free. At
last she was ruling something.
Then abruptly she lost control of
her magic steed. 1t ceased to obey
the wheel. 1t wavered this way and
that with terrifying uncertainty. The
steering gear had broken.
With sudden sharp swerve the car
shot from the road and out upon the
beach. Paralyzed with amazement
more than fear, Gloria was carried
across the sand straight into the
waves. They rushed toward her as II
the ocean were hungry for her. But
the wheels sank in the wet sand and
the breakers did not capture Gloria.
They almost drowned her in their
warm flood, however, and she made
haste to extricate herself and climb
out.
No human being saw that strange
apparition, unless it were Father Nep-
tune, and he must have thought it was
Venus rising from the sea again-this
time in very fashionable but very
moist dinner gown.
Gloria was only the more exultant
from this new experience. She stood
a moment on the car, then jumped ow
and raced wave to the shore.
She found herself in a wilderness OF
sand dunes and mysterious bushes.
She plunged among them, thinking
less of making her way home than of
exploring little deeper this Eden in
to which she had stumbled.
She did not know what dangers
lurked on every hand. There werc
multitudes of serpents in this Eden
cold, fierce rattlesnakes under thS
most beautiful flowers. Beneath the
moonlit waters of little bayous were
hungry alligators; under the unwary
feet the quicksands might open; the
paths ended suddenly in entangle-
ments of tall sword grass that slashed
the skin at touch.
And deep in the Businesses were the
remnants OF the Seminole tribe who
had fought the whites for years and
bafiled them till palefaced treachery
overcame the Indian wiles. The red
men had never forgiven the whites,
and they regarded their intrusiofls
with hatred.
AS children scamper into blood
curdling danger with laughter, so the
child Gloria danced through Paradise
not knowing that she was lost in the
everglades.

THE PUBLIC FORUM


response to a Public Forum letter adj

operation with the health dept and
the medical profession of Chicago
to conserve in every way known to
modern medical science the health
of the school children of Chicago"
Now, Mr.. Citizen, as the letter
asks, What are you going to do
about it," The writer states, in the
letter in question, that in 1916 the
health dept physicians made 191, 225
physical examination. "Of these,
IO1, 237 were found with defects Of
larious kinds; and of this number,
SOFA were advised to seek medical
treatment. This means that a note
was sent to the apparents apprising
them of their children's conditions
and urging them that they consult

that the parents who failed to fol-
low the advice Of the health dept
had done as they were advised in
every instance and taken their chill

Of these defects had been corrected
and every symptom removed by the
best ways known to modern medical
science, the question worth asking
yourself it, would they have been
much better off? That is, would the
defects have been removed to stay

in teaching real prevention of dis
