When Trask stamped up the cabin

When Trask stamped up the cabin
stairs and banged the hatchway down
Gloria studied the girl. She had been
beautiful, and still was pretty but too
sad. Just now she was too angry. Nell
had been fighting against her father
till this unknown woman appeared
from nowhere. Now Nell was all for
her father against the world.
Gloria spoke to her, questioned her
Gbout Freneau. Nell did not answer
at all, only in grumbling monosyllables.
Gloria tried to bride Nell to let her
escape. Gloria offered larger and
larger sums till Nell would have been
.dazzled if she had been convinced.
AT last she spoke:
"Say, who do you think you are?
The Dime Savings bank? And who do
you think / am? I amt on auction
If your father had all the money you're
maxim up he has, do you think you
could buy my father with it? Mop
Glora liked her better for that, but
she was none the less determined to es-
cape if she could. She talked no more.
But she thought harder than ever be-
fore.
Nell went on getting her fathers
supper at the little stove, gathering the
pans and jabbing the fire with the polk
er angrily.
Gloria had often steamed up the
Hudson on her fathers yacht. This

was her first voyage on canal barge.
The place was extremely unlike her IA
theirs yacht, but the SAVIOR Of the fry
ing pan made Gloria democratically
hungry. When Trask came back, how
ever, his cold eyes took her appetite
away. But not his own. She watched
him Wolf his food; she felt that Lc
was half insane, a relentless fanatic
on q wild crusade.
His eyes kept rolling in her Girec-
ton. He found her so mysterious that
he was half afraid Of her. He re
me1nbered the loneliness Of that Win
ter night by the Soldiers and Sailors
monument. He remembered the ap-
pearance Of Freneau alone and no 9th
er human being in view. His very
hands remembered the death grasp
they took on Freneau's throat. He
smiled. That was one good deed, at
least, he told himself
But he could not ina CINE how this
girl could have seen him. How could
he guess that she had sat at her Win
dow with binoculars to her eyes and
watched the whole tragedy. He be-
gan to grow superstitious. Gloria was
apparently able to perform mira cles

she would leave as mystically as she
had come.
Finally he grew brave enough tc
shout Out at her: "WhO are you
What was Freneau to your"
Gloria knew that anyone who bluS
tiers is likely to be weak, SO she an
swered coldly: "Never mind who
am. The main thing is, who are yoy
and what was Freneau to you?"
The commonwealth. (Scotland Neck, N.C.) 1896-1929, 1917-05-08

was making ready to recapture the
barge as soon as he could take in the
hawser. Also she could family hear
the bowls of her cabined and confused
prisoners. If the tug men came aboard
and released them, what would become
of Gloria? Gloria wondered.
