The car started and was checked al
most at once by a tangle of trucks.
Gloria, looking about impatiently,
caught sight of Nell Trask and her
father just leaving the opposite tene-
ment. She recognized the old man.
She was dumfounded. AS she gazed,
they were lost in the crowd She saw
that the car could not be turned
around. Every moment was precious.
Impulse told her not to lose this pre-
cious chance. She obeyed impulse.
Without pausing to inform the chauf-
feur, Gloria opened the door, dropped
out, and ran after the Trasks. She
picked them up again after a while.
She saw a policeman. She resolved to
order him to arrest the criminal. AS
she hesitated, she saw Trask stop and
tenderly relieve the weary Nell of
her baby's weight. He fondled and
nuzzled the child and laughed with
grandfatherly fOolishness. Gloria
turned away from the policeman.
She followed at a little distance,
wondering what to do. The best thing
would be, she felt to find out where
he lived. She followed for blocks.
The Trasks climbed the stairs of the
elevated. Gloria went up after them.
She took the next car on the same
train. It seemed that they would ride
on forever. Far uptown they got out.
Gloria got out. She trailcd them at
a greater distance now because the
streets were sparsely populated. The
street sloped sharply down to the
river. Moored to the wharves where

in sight anywhere. The men lettering

Gloria as desirable Samaritans to ask
for help.
Another Of Gloria's impulses stirred
her feet almost against her will. She
ran along the wharf, crossed a plank
to the Trask barge. and went to the

anger coming up. The girl was up
braiding her father for deserting her
and accusing him Of further crime.
She was crying Historically.
''You killed him. He is dead and
you killed him.
The old man denied the charge with
frenzy. He laughed at it, swore that
he was innocent. The girl was al
ready persuaded and this so enraged
Gloria that she darted down the stems
and cried out at Trask:
You did kill him. I saw you.''

with vigor to the a.1aZement Of Aunt

Gloria had flown.
AS the luncheon neared it's last

an misunderstanding waiter. When he
returned he was evidently suffering
great emotional strain. He made blum

Pierpont rebuked him Gloria took pity

For a waiter to have personal troubles
during a meal was as bad as for a sol

be obeyed."
Casimir told her that he had just ---

sent back from the hospital. He broke
down and clung to the weeping Stas.

said, "But / should think you would

DR.. Stephen Royce was trying to

of battle he had received the night
before in Gloria's defense. He was

had repented of her affair with the
dead Freneau and was trying to live 1t
down. Idleness was both temptation
and distress. She wanted to know II
there was not some work she could do.
Royce told her that there were always
poor people in plenty and lonely sick.
He gave her the address of some of
his patients who would never pay,
but whom he treated with none the
less care.
/ AS she was leaving she met Gloria
coming in with the boy. Royce was
disgusted because Gloria looked angry.
He should have been delighted at the
hint of possible jealousy. Gloria cold

and it's terrible consequences. She
made the boy cough for the doctor.
Royce did not seem to be as much
impressed as Gloria had been. He
set the boy to laughing and got him
to put out his tongue by making faces
at him which the boy mocked. Then
he said:
'It's nothing. Just a little tickling
in the throat, eh?'
II guess so,' Stas confessed. II am
tickled all over"
He gave the boy lozenge for medi-
cine and turned to Gloria. She asked
him again why he had tried to deceive
her about the delirium.
"NVhy don't you tell me the truth
now? What is Lois to your
Royce protested that Lois was moth
ing to him and that a doctor has his
secrets-like a priest. Gloria was furi

was about to storm out, but she
paused, meditated, whirled, and went
to him impulsively.
"FOrgive me. You saved my life
twice. You fought for me then, why
against me now?'
He answered sadly, 81 am not fight

you will know it, but not from me-"
Gloria went out sadly and Royce in
dulged in little delirium of his own,
cursing his luck in managing always
to have his devotion misunderstood.
He was glad that Lois repented her
liaison with Freneau, but he wished
that she had chosen some other person
for father confessor Or some other
time to call.
In the majestic blue dining room
of the Bankers club, Gloria found
Casimir already installed. Pierpont's
influence had secured the engagement
for him and money had provided the
neat costume that changed Casi,nir

FITZSIMMONS NEVER
FORGAVE TOM SHARKEY
FOR REFEREES DECISION

Pugi1fstic feuds are usually short
lived, but one of the longest on record
was that of Bob Fitzimmons and Tom
Sharkey. 1t was seventeen years ago
that the freckled blacksmith and the
tattooed sailor mingled in their ia
nous grudge fight at Coney Island.
Bob, with the bitterness Of a former
defeat, which he called a highway
robbery" ranking in his heart, re-
fused to shake hands with his brawny
antagonist. From the tap Of the bell
Fitz went after Tom hammer and
tongs, and fought SO cIeveriy and vi
ciously that in the second round
Sharkey was stretched out for the
count Even after his victory the
Cor1ishman refused to shake hands.
The cause of this bitterness dated
back to 1896, when F'itz, who was
then contemplating the annexation of
Corbett's title, fought Sharkey in San
Francisco. Bob had the best of the
argument, and in the eighth round
landed what seemed to be a solar
plexus, which sent che sailor tumb-
ling. Fftz received the surprise of his
life when the referee, Wyatt carp,
announced that Fitz had perpetrated
foul, and awarded the victory to
Sharkey. The Cornishman frothed at
the mouth, and intimated that he
considered Jesse James an honest
man compared with Sharkey and
carp.
