SYNOPSIS.

Pierpont Stafford, with his daughter
Gloria, is wintering at Palm Beach. Clio
ria is a vivacious but willfu young lady
who chafes under the restraining hand of
p governeSs from whom she repeatedly
nscapes. Her childish capers cause young
Doctor Royce to fall in love with her.
Becoming. lost In the everglades she rails
Gloria falls in love with her rescuer, Ere
neau. Five years later she leaves school
and meets Freneau at the theater; he has
forgotten Gloria. Later Freneau per-
4Buades her to forgive him. Gloria's SIS

but her kilograms are returned; She ac-
ridently sees the supposed suicide of Ere
neau reported in the paper. Gloria swears
to find the murderer; Royce te aEd w G1a
ria insists on going to Palm Beach. She
sees Mulry there. He leaves for the
North. She is recognized by her one-time
captor, the young Indian chief. He tells
her that Royce and not Freneau was her
rescuer at that time. Gloria attends night
court; she sees Mulry there, also the
tramp who attacked Freneau. But Judge
Freeman releases him. She follows the
tramp when he leaves the court She
dnds herself in low saloon dance hall,
and Is selected by one of the patrons as
his partner. Doctor Royce, however, fol-
lows her and when he attempts a rescue,
calls down a riot on their heads The
hall is raided and the crowd, including
Gloria and Royce, is arrested and taken
before Judge Freeman. The newspapers
feature Gloria's arrest. Reporters sur
round the house. Casimir arrives with the
child Gloria promised to adopt. She or
ders Royce to take Casimir's wife to the
Stafford home. She follows Trask and
lands on a houseboat to hear him accused
of Freneau's murder. She confronts him:
he imprisons her, but she ties him up and
escapes. BY many stages she arrives at
home In the yacht Gloria and the men
pursue the barge Trask fires on them
As they near him. In the fight that fol-
lows Trask is badly wounded. He is
taken to the Stafford home Royce en-
deavors to return to Lois her letters to

"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 I will take my punishment
with the rest"
He walked away heavily as if the
burden of life were breaking him
down. Gloria stood in a daze, her
mind picturing the catastrophe that
must overtake the family if she were
to speak.
The world was very beautiful, espe-
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 a 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.

Of course. They are my children.
Neither of them realized the hideous
consequences. Lois is my only
daughter. She was born with frivo-

mother died as your mother did, be-
fore she could guide or control the
young heart. David is a splendid man !;
he loves Lois to distraction. He felt
that his honor could only be cleansed
of its stain by the blood of Freneau.
He was the guilty dog. He led my
daughter astray. He played with your
trust. He was a black-hearted-'

| the appearance of Trask, the unexpect-
to light his cigarette while Gloria from
afar helplessly watched the assassin
creep up on him and throttle him to
death.
Trask vanished and the skulker came
by again, stumbled over Dicks body,
knelt, listened to his heartbeat, then
satisfied of his death, ghoulishly rified
his pockets and took from them this
very envelope that had come back into
her hands so curiously through the
prank of a mischievous child.
Into the vivid tableau of that men,
DRY the kneeling figure of Doctor Royce
fitted to perfection. Gloria had a sud-
den intuition that she understood the
truth at last. Decor Royce had told
her that her vision was delirium be-
cause it was himself that she had seen.
All his devotion now took on a new
and hideOus look. He had not cared
for her. He had meant only to blind
her and divert her from her revenge.
He had nearly succeeded. She had
fritted away her time. She had be-
Iieved the Indian chief who said that
1t was Royce and not Freneau who bat
tied for her and saved her. She had
allowed herself to think disloyally of
her dead lover. She would exact dou-
bic vengeance for that.
She advanced at once on the kneel-
ing Royce and cried out upon him:
ut was you, then! You of all the
people in the world! / see you now as
plainly as did that night, only l was
too foolish to suspect you"
"What do you mean Gloria?" Royce
asked hoarsely.
II mean that you had share in the
murder of my poor lover You hired
that beast Trask and you went there
to make sure he did his work well.'
"Gloria, Gloria!" Royce sighed, so
deep and honest a sorrow in his face
that Gloria was staggered. But only
for a moment. Her wrath carried her
on:
you made fool of me for long
time, but you were too clever too long,
and now 1 know know little at
least, and I'm going to know more.
Why did you kill my Dick.?"

devotion of his tone. Her heart

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 a phase of love. But now Gloria
stared at 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.
HGive it to your Gloria cried.
"What right have you to it? l know
whose it was. I know that 1t was
Dicks. Therefore it is mine and I'm
going to keep it."
Better not" he stammered, his fac
ulties in such a panic that his hat fell
from his hand. He stopped to pick
it up, his back to Gloria.
The envelope she held had sudden
" 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
leased him with it, never dreaming
what it 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
down, skulking in the shadows; then
