SEVENTH EPISODE

F-eneau in his office going over the
mornings mail was in a beastly tenn
per. He snapped at his clerk when
that CHEEKY young man wished him a
bright Good morning." He made
short work of the mildly flirtatious
stenographer's attempt to begin the
day breezily for him.
The air OF the office was ciuuded
with Freneau's gloom when Ills part
ner. Mulry. entered gayly and slapped
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.
MuIry was amused at his friends
bad temper He chuckled: Wrong
side of the bed this morning, old bear?
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 l gave
up my proposed marriage, she will con-
fess the whole affair and then kill her.
self"
Principally this meant to Mulry that
the firm would have to refund the
large sum OF money Freneau had just
borrowed from Gloria's father on the

She put the envelope back in his
pocket. making a little gesture of dis
gust: ugh! l hate your old business!
How long must you be away?"
One whole week, dearest little
love-" he murmured brokenly. I'm
afraid it will never pass for me, but
take good care of your precious self,
and get those wonderful roses back in
your cheeks. l will write and tele-
graph you every day"
Then his face darkened and he hung
his head before her as he added: 81
can't give you any address to write to
me, as I 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 clung together for last embrace.
Freneau went to his rooms in new
mood. Gloria's trust had touched him
more than 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 a
glimpse of himself in mirror and
loathed the face he saw. He vowed
that he would redeem his soul. He
would begin at once. He would meet
lois az the pavilion and tell her that

perato 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, failing 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 Gloria's frantic search
for It.
The next morning. as she was going
over Freneau's letters. her father
dropped in unexpectedly. One Of FIRE.
neau's envelopes had fallen to the
floor unnoticed by Lois. The Judge
stopped to pick 1t up for her. He saw
Freneau's name and. trained as he was
in the wiles OF criminals, he suspected
Lois at once and fatty accused her of
an intrigue with Freneau. She mere
ly flounced away in temper. saying:
Il am old enough to take care of
myself. II you want to believe evil
OF your own daughter-why, believe
it."
She left Judge Freeman dumbfounded
and distracted. In the afternoon, while
father again visited Lois to try softer
words. In the hall he met her house

express. Freneau had advised Lois to
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,
a village in the Catskills.
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
Aunt Kate.
Aunt Kate has gone to Florida, as
you know" her father answered
sternly.
Il forgot, but anyway, have to get
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
drew the embargo and her rapture
confirmed his fears.
That afternoon he CHANGED to be
| passing David Stafford's home Just as
David stepped from shis car. David
greeted him warmly and insisted on
his coming into the house. Royce was
out of his coat and hat before David
the butler gave him. AS he felt thor
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 nd stepped back as David ap-
proac. ed, talking brislly. Royce was
thankful for the sound; 1t would give
the guilty pair time to separate and
spare David 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 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 Yecklessness. 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.

Mulry rubbed his head. His massage
seemed to conjure up another idea, for
he began to rummage through his
desk. He beckoned Freneau to come
over to him and held up delightedly q

OF intrigue.
On his way to the little classic stone
pavilion near the SoldieIs' and Sailors
monument. where Lois had agreed 70
meet him, his car broke down. He
took that as a further reason for not
making the journey. He left the
chauffeur to correct the trouble ana
went ahead on foot.
Gloria had retired after Freneau left
her, but lay tossing about on her pill

the butler to shake his head over the
scandalous proceedings of his 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 accost
him. 1t was there that he had first
seen Freneau in New York. He
stood by the iron-barred gate. watch
ing, until policeman drove him away.
Then he crossed Riverside drive to the
Soldiers and Sailors monument and
resumed a 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 a midnight
train.
Gloria was reclining on the chaise
Tongue. exquisitely attired in an ivory
colored lace peignoir, the bands of
white swansdown which trimmed it
no whittier than her own fair skin. Her
beautiful hair, drawn lightly into a
knot at the top of her little head, made
her look more like child playing at
being grown-up than she had 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. Her
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 infnitesimal
space with her tiny hands, that
much?" then, stretching her two arms
wide and purring forth her musical
iaugh-"or that much?"
Freneau came within the circle of
her arms and, holding her to him, ex-
claimed: THE width of the whole
world is not big enough to measure
my love for you" And he meant it.
Releasing her tenderly to her pill
lows on the couch, he continued: 1--WE

Jove, 1t was thrilling. II can only
keep this up you won't have to be
ashamed of your poor husband. And,
thank God, shall have you to work

war" He tossed a leather case into
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 a large
sealed envelope in his inner pocket.
What's this? More business, or
love letters?"
A dull mottled red began to surge
up Freneau's face. She spoke so much
truer than she knew. 1t was the packet
of letters he was taking to Lois. He
had pocketed them to make sure that
he should not leave them behind.
"Jnst business documents connected
with my trip" he said. as naturally as
he could. Gloria accepted the explana-
tion In perfect faith. 1t did not occur
to her to suspect him of any deceit.
