WHERE'S MOTHER,

Bursting in from. school or play,
This is what the children say;
Trooping, crowding, big and small,
On the threshold, in the hall,
Joining in the constant cry,
Ever as the days go by
where's Mother?"
From the weary bed of pain
This same question comes again;
From the boy with sparkling eyes,
Bearing home the earliest prize;
From the bronzed and bearded son
Perils past and honors won
"Where's Mother7".
Burdened with a lonely task.
One day we may vainly ask
For the comfort OF her face,
For the rest of her embrace.
Let us love her while we may,
Well for us that we can say,
where's Mother?"
Mother, with untiring hands,
At the post of duty stands,
Patient, seeking not her :wn.
Anxious for the good alone
OF the children, as they cry,
Ever as the DAYS go b.
where's Mothe ."

! Pierpont Stafford, banker and railroad
magnate, with his sixteen-year-old daugh-
tier, Gloria, is wintering at Palm Beach.
Gloria is a vivacious but willful young
lady who chafes under the restraining
Ehand of a governess from whom she re-
lpeatedly 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
1ost in the everglades she falls into the
hands of the Seminole Indians. She is
irescued and returned to her father who
ihad offered a reward for her return.

forgive him. Gioria's sister-in-law, Lois.

him on the back. The clerk and
stenographer paused expectant, but
before he spoke to Mulry, Freneau
snarled to them:
Get out and stay out till send for
you"
They got out.
Mu1ry was amused at his friends
vsbad temper. He chuckled: Wrong
side of the bed this morning, old bear I?
What seems to be your little trouble
now"
Freneau told him that Lois Stafford
whom he was attempting to get rid Of
had learned of his engagement to her
sister-in-law, Gloria, and had become
unmanageable.
"She threatened that, unless / gave
up my proposed marriage, she will con

perate in her passion for Freneau now,
for the knowledge that she was to lose
him made her utterly ruthless to her
self as to all who might stand in the
way of her last days with him.
She must be alone with Freneau
uninterrupted to plead with him to
give UP Gloria and to run away with
her-or, falling that, TO get back her
letters and gain time to reconstruct
her life and recover from her loss.
She carried the stolen photograph
with her to the opera and laughed as
she imagined Glorias frantic search
for it.

over Freneau's letters, her father

an intrigue with Freneau. She mere

and distracted. In the afternoon, while

father again visited Lois to try softer
words. In the hall he met her house.

Gideon Trask. the bargeman, had
infinite patience in pursuit of his re-
venge, but so far he had been unre-
warded. Unable to run down Freneau
elsewhere, he picked on the Pierpont
Stafford home as the most likely and
also the most fitting place to aocost
him. 1t was there that he had first
seen Freneau in New York. He

ing until policeman drove him away.
Then he crossed Riverside drive to the
Soldiers and Sailors monument and
resumed more distant watch over
the house.
Freneau was indeed there; he had
come to bid Gloria good-by. He told
her he was leaving on midnight
train.
Gloria was reclining on the chaise

beautiful hair, drawn lightly into
knot at the top of her little head, made
her look more like child playing at
being grown-up than she had a right
to look with all her twenty-one years,
Freneau had paused a moment at
the door when he entered to enjoy the
charm of her, then he crossed to her
side with all lovers eagerness. Hell
eyes beamed on him with tenderness
as she welcomed him and gave him
her lips.
How much do you love me?" she
queried, measuring an infinitesimal
space with her tiny hands, that

wide and purring forth her musical
laugh-'or that much?"
Freneau came within the circle oil

her lap.
Opening two shrinelike doors, Gloria
gurgled in delight at the string of
pearls within. She made him clasp
them about her throat. Then she
leaned forward to thank him with
kiss; she saw the corner of large
sealed envelope in his inner pocket.
What's this? More business, OF
love letters?"
A dull notified red began to surge
up Freneau's face. She spoke SO much
truer than she knew. 1t was the packet

had pocketed them to make sure that
he should not leave them behind.
"Just business documents connected

he could. Gloria accepted the explana

to her to suspect him of any deceit

send her baggage by train and motor
up with him to the Catskills.
Judge Freeman took the liberty OF
reading the tag on that trunk. He
saw that it was checked to Blendike.

Going to Lois room, he questioned
her. She answered that as David was
going away that evening she thought
she would run out to Lenox to visit

you know" her father answered
sternly.
II forgot, but anyway, have to get
off by myself for a few days; my
nerves are in ribbons. Please leave
me alone" Lois said, and burst into
tears
Again her father left her, his
anxiety greater than before.
When Doctor Royce made his morn
ing call on his beloved patient, Gloria,
he found her still progressing toward
complete recovery from her illness
But her spirits did not seem joyous as
they should be. He thought bitterly
that this might be due to his orders
that she should not be allowed to see
.Freneau. He told her that he>with.

confirmed his fears.
That afternoon he CHANGED to be
passing David Staffords home just as
David stepped from his car David
greeted aim warmly and insisted on
his coming into the house. Royce was
out o. his coat and hat before David
had GniIAed glancing at some letters

oughly at home here, Royce went
ahead to the living room. He thought
he heard murmur of voices. Parting
the curtains, he saw something that
made the blood pound in his temples
Lois arms were about Freneau and
his around her. Royce heard her say
ing:
"At midnight by the pavilion. near
the soldiers monument. I'll be there
Don't fail me-"
/. Royce dropped the curtains noise
lessly and stepped back as David ap
preached, talking briskly. Royce was
thankful for the sound: It would give
the guilty pair time to separate and
spare David a hideous knowledge, at
least for the time being.
Royce and David entered, and Lois
greeted her husband warmly. Royce
sickened at the sight. He would not
speak, but he refused Freneau's hand
Freneau, a trifie jolted, said that he
had dropped in to inquire about
Gloria. After a few, minutes he left
Royce said that he would go along, as
he had something to discuss with Ere
neau.
He told David that he would see
him later, and for very pity did not
look him in the eye.
But he gave Lois a meaning look of
wonder at her evil recklessness. Then
he followed Freneau with wrath boil
ing in his heart.
Without waiting for an invitation,
he jumped into Freneau's car, and as
soon as it was under way Royce burst
forth:

She put the envelope back in his

How long must you be away?"

Then his face darkened and he hung
his head before her as he added: Il

me. as shall be jumping about so, but
I'll telephone you"
When the hour grew late and the
nurse began to frown he told her he
must leave. She stood up sadly and
they chung together for last embrace.
Freneau went to his rooms in a new
mood. Cloria's trust had touched him
more Il Royce's threats. He was
furious at himself and at Lois. He
started to the telephone to call her up
and tell her to do her worst, he would
not go away with her. AS he was
about to take the receiver off the hook
he looked at his watch. 1t was too
late; she would have started for their
trysting place by now. He caught
glimpse of himself in a mirror and
loathed the face ne saw. He vowed
that he would redeem his soul. He
would begin at once. He would meet
