Al this Gloria was silent.

Then she told Burroughs to put out
her lights and not allow her to be
disturbed.

SYNOPSIS.

Pierpont Stafford, banker and railroad
magnate, with his sixteen-year-old daugh-
ter, Gloria, is wintering at Palm Beach.
Gloria is a vivacious but willful young
lady who chafes under the restraining
hand of a goyerness from whom she re-
peatedly escapes. Her childish capers
cause young Doctor Royce to fall in love
with her. She steals from her room
at night and in an auto plunges into the
surf where she leaves the car. Becoming
lost in the everglades she falls into the
hands of the Seminole Indians. She is res
cued and returned to her father, who had
offered a reward for her return. Gloria
Five years later she leaves school and
meets Freneau at the theater; his atten-
ton having been occupied with her sister
in-law, he has forgotten Gloria. Gloria
feels. that her one dream is shattered.
Later Freneau persuades her to forgive
him. Glorias sister-in-law, Lois, becomes
intensely jealous and Doctor Royce dis
covers in her an ally to assist in thwart-
ing Freneau,

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 coming-out party of Gloria Stat
ford. The men were related to each
other by marriage-the marriage of
Stafford's son David and Freeman's
that made them.
Pierpont Stafford nodded 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-
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 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

Gloria was being watched jealous

the car drove in. They changed their
excited barks to yeIps of welcome as
they recognized Gloria. But she left
them disconsolate. for groom brought
up from the stable yard her shaggy po-

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 girl-wanted her more than
he had ever wanted anyone else in his
life-she might elude him.
Gloria turned to him with bright
smile, and seeing the look of adora,
zion in his eyes, blushed an even
deeper rose than she had been wear
ing.
Il think we had better start at once
IL we are to get our sleigh ride" she
said. THE days are so short now;

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

his reverie, dismissed it as an unpleas-
ant memory, smiled at himself for CIV
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 stir
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-fedged birding after
it's first long flight.
The last of the guests departing, she
threw her arms about her fathers
neck and gave him 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 off 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 hot bath for
her, and for goodness sake to get her
out of her wreck of dress. AS Bur
roughs huttered between the two
tasks Gloria hummed the aloha De"
that had been played in waltz time
to her last heavenly dance with Ere
neau. She picked a rose from her
dressing table and went through the
ritual of He loves me, he loves me
not" down almost to the last petal
But finding that it would come out
on the tragic mot" she gasped, How
silly!" threw the rose away, casting
shy little smile at herself in the
mirror.
