For Freneau had told her that he
must leave town on business for .
whole week. When he came to bid
farewell the nurse left the room, re-
turning when Freneau had gone. He
left Gloria in q lonely gloom.
Gloria was fretful and restless, com
planning that she did net feel ready
for sleep. II was the nurse who was
drowsy after the long strain of
Gloria's illness.
Richards put out all the lights save
the n shaded lamp by the bedside,
and then she must have dozed, for the
next thing she knew was that her ears
were throbb'~. and her nerves jang-
ling with the wild clamor of Gloria's
screams.
For an instant the nurse was too
horrifed to move, then as her wits
returned to her the fact that the voice
was Gloria's penetrated to her CON

voice of her husband came through
the door. She cast a look of anger at
the door, then hid the photograph and
dried her eyes hastily. Then she
forced a smile and admitted David.
He carried an Offering of flowers in
his hands.

Il decided not to go and turned
back. Are you sorry?" he asked hun
grily.
She answered: MY Lowell" and
clasped him close.
She was afraid to ask him any ques-
tions lest he ask questions of her.
The following morning Gloria, still
see-sawing between JOY and anguish,
received a telegram from Freneau at
Buffalo. She telegraphed to him at
his address there. Later the message
was reported undelivered. Yet in due
time a letter came from Freneau ON
the hotel paper.
The next day a message Of love
from Cleveland. Now she called the
hotel on the long-distance telephone.
The clerk insisted hat Freneau was
not there and had not been there.
1t was the same with messages
from Detroit, Chicago, st. Louis, and
Pittsburgh. Gloria felt that she was
being slowly driven insane. But her
bodily health improved throughout the
week in spite of her mental distress
might 60 down to the dining room for
her breakfast. She was glad of this
because Dicks letter from Pittsburgh
had promised that he would call ON
her that morning. She wanted to wei.
come him in state.
She herself had a royal reception
from the servants. She was dressed
in a trailing breakfast gown of orchid
chiffon, and she bent to the bowling
old butler as IL he were her prime
minister. Her father escorted her to
her place. then whipped open his pa,
per to the financial page and vanished
behind 1t.
Gloria turned to the page of social
gossip in another paper. She had
pretty well lost track of the world.
She laughed as she turned to the
front page and only now saw the big
headlines announcing: "FFeneau

Gloria's eyes widened. Her fingers
clenched and crumpled the paper in
anguish. Her father, looking up from
his paper, saw the wild terror in her
eyes. He hurried to her. She hand.
ed him the paper, and while he read,
she rose to her feet u~nsteadily, lean
ing on the table for support.
AS soon as her father understood
the news he put his arms about her.
But she gently thrust him from her
and stood gazing great-eyed into
space. She was seeing again what
she saw that night beneath the monu
ment. All her girlhood seemed to
drop from her. Her small figure grew
terrible with agony. her little white
mouth was drawn with determination
to have revenge.
She lifted her hands to heaven In
solemn consecration and made her
