He Shares companIonship Of Brook
With None Save Perhaps compan-
lon Of His Own Age.

Only the boy knows, I am sure, what
the brook Is really like, especially the
brook In its deep pool under the high
way bridge. The grown man goes
over-in farm wagons, motor cars, on
hayricks or on foot-but to him 1t is
a brook under a bridge, no more. But
the boy turns down through the black
berry tangle or tall ferns, perches him
self in the fork Of the willow that
bends its knees to the brown peaty
water and Is at home In his surround
ings. II he is lucky enough at the
moment to be barefooted he dips his
toes to see how cold 1t is after the
rains. He notes the swirl Of the cur
rent and the little overflows which are
like patterns raised on the surface Of
the wnter by a master hand. He hears
the brooks song as well as the cat
birds ditty from the bough. He looks
under the bridge to the sunlit pool on
the other side and sees the swarming
midges light against the sky, not dark

for the disreputable crowd that had
been gathered In with her.
Then she saw Frank Muiry. She
had forgotten his existence, to say moth
ing of the fact that she, had abused
justice and asked the judge to detain
him. Mulry had not seer her when
she whispered to the judge. The sight
of her now as one of a huddle Of such
wretches made him question his eyes.
He had fled from the SHOWS Of
WestcheSter to the palms of Florida
to escape her, and back again, only to
be caught in a cell as a fellow prisoner.
But Gloria forgot her own dubious
position In her triumph. She advanced
on him and murmured: sand now.
Mr.. Mulry, I have got you at last. I
want to have a few words with you"
"Sit down." he said, offering her a
place on a bench.
"No, thanks" she answered. He
rose, and she demanded:
What do you know about poor Mr..
Freneau's death that you are afraid
to tell me?" Mulry could not escape.
She would not relent. "Why did he
deceive me as to where he was going?
Where was he actually goingT"
Then, In that strange place, inspira-
ton came to Mulry, and he spoke the
beautiful lie he had not been able to
think of before. He said:
Miss Stafford, poor Dick had moth
ing dishonorable to conceal from you.
He was Ill. His doctor told him he
must have an operation for appendi-
citis. He would have to be in a hospi-
tai. He was afraid that If he told
you that 1t would endanger your
health. You were SO Ill then, and so
frail. So he concocted that imaginary
business trip, and wrote the letters.
and as I was going on a journey to our
branch Offices, he had me mail them.
/ only learned of his death when I
returned"
Gloria almost swooned with joy.
The explanation was so like what the
Dick she loved would have done that
she could not doubt it. It was too
beautiful not to be believed. 1t lighted
the whole dingy cell with it's radiance.
Her love for Freneau came back in a
blaze of splepdor. She seized Mulry's
hand and wrung 1t. She had much
more to say to him, but the police be-
gan to yell to the prisoners to come
along.
1t was a cruel return to harsh fact,
but she had once more her ideals and
her mission, and she marched into
the courtroom with the pride of a lit
tie empress going to her coronation.
She was lost in the crowd, and the
judge did not see her at first. Nor did
her father, who sat at his side.
The police told thier story and
thrust Doctor Royce forward as the
chief offender. When the Judge saw
him he was astounded; and then
Gloria emerged and the judge sprang
up from his desk. Pierpont leaped
from his chair. OF all the places in
the world to find his exquisite child!
The Judge asked Gloria to explain.
She moved around behind the bench.
The officer whose hat she had taken
off tried to stop her and force her
into the witness chair. She slapped
at him. he backed away. The Judge,
smiling, permitted her to march
through the clerks gate and back to
his own desk.
Pierpont confronted her, and she

The judge was taking off his robe
when the attendant called him to the
telephone. He listened. nodded his
head, put up the telephone and turned
to Pierpont:

snuggled close to him for shelter. He
was very tender with her. She re-

Royce tried to appcase her. She
turned her back on him. She hated
him immensely, considering how much
she liked him. Then the wagon backed
up. The police yelled. "AIl out! /"
Gloria recognized where she was. She
did not know whether to be gled or

dared to stop this one and ask the
inferno for a ride.
And SO they went-the taxicab pur-
suing the street car; the ambulance
pursuing the taxicab. 1t was an APP
propriate place for an ambulance. 1t
was quite likely to be needed. But
the ambulance had to turn into a side
street before 1t overlook Gloria, and
Royce was compelled to drop off and
pursue afoot.
Then the street car that carried
Trask stopped so abruptly that
Gloria's taxlcab. shot past 1t, almost
annihilating Trask as 1t whizzed by.
Gloria caught a glimpse of Trask
leaving the car, grazing the taxicab
and Keeling down a dark street. She
pounded on the glass and put her head
out to check the driver. She ordered
him to back up. He backed into the
very street car that Trask had just
left. There was a crash, a tinkle of
broken glass, and Gloria was evicted
through the broken door.
The chauffeur got down and began
the usual wrangle with the motorman
and the conductor Of the street car
the passengers piled out; a crowd
gathered. Two policemen ran up and
began to make notes. Gloria tugged
at the coat of the chauffeur, but he
was too busy to pay any attention and
she had no money to pay him. So
she left him and ran for Trask, not
entirely sorry that she had saved her
fare.
The delay had enabled Doctor Royce
to gain some ground, but he lost 1t
again trying to ask the excited
chauffeur where his passenger was.

zled head over the heads of the crowd.

distance. Then, suddenly, he turned
and dashed into q barroom.
Gloria was headstrong, and she
| startled herself with her own behavior,
but instinct drew the line at entering
such q place. Her eyes were attracted
by the sign, Ladies' entrance over
a side door. She did not know that
it led to a large dance hall at the
ear of the barroom. She ventured
along the grimy corridor until she
heard the music and the shufIling of
feet.
Then she understood and would
have r~etreated II a brace of typsy gun
men had not ONE lurching in from
the street and cut Off her escape. She
backed away from them In terror and
backed into the dance hall-a large,
noisy, dirty room, filed with vicious
and shabby characters. Couples were
dancing In characteristic clinches or
~sprawllng about the tables. Gloria
was of such a different sort that her
sudden appearance caused a silence.
She turned and stared.
A hurley ruffian called Choey. a
waterfront beau, smoking a cigarette
nub, saw her and, leaving his COM
panion, went to Gloria with admiring
enthusiasm and roared:
"Chee, kid, but you're chust my
style, an chust in time for a toin."
Gloria declined his invitation with
terrified thanks and started for the
door, but Choey seized her by the
waist, whipped her into his arms and
fox-trottcd away with her. She was
more Disguised than afraid. She re-
sisted vainly, pushing against him and
struggling. He laughed; the crowd
laughed. She struck up at the villains
face, but he held his head too high for
her to reach and, laughing, whirled her
round and round through the crowd.
About this time Doctor Royce was in
hot pursuit of Gloria. He had caught
a glimpse Of her hat, and he thought

The policemen ran with her, rap
ping the pavement. One Of then
stopped to telephone the station fol
the patrol wagon. Two other police
men galloped in from side streets.
Royce and Gloria had struggled
through to the door just as the police
men poured in at their backs. Royce
being the first man they found, they
seized him roughly. Gloria interceded
with anger and was threatened with
a back-handed blow. Policemen have
to act quickly and vigorously in riots.
and these officers were not accustomed
to finding well-bred young women from
good homes In that quarter.
All the gang, men and women, in
Guiding Mol, pointed to Royce and to
Gloria as the disturbers of a peaceful
gathering. While they yelled and
wrangled a patrol wagon rolled into
the street and backed up to the curb.
The reserves tumbled out. A second
WuBOu was On lAC way w
The police began to hustle every
body toward the wagons. Gloria was
willing enough to leave the place, but
the thought of taking a ride in the
patrol wagon was absolutely intolera-
BILE. When an officer tried to shove
her along she brushed his hand from
her arm and snatched off his hat, cry
ing: Take off your hat when you
spenk 70 me-"
The officer was %enraged, then amaz-
ed. He picked up his hat, put 1t
on, took 1t off, and then bowed to her
In mock politeness. Then she went
out very haughtily.
The whole crowd was rushed into
the two patrol wagons except Trask,
who had hidden back Of the bar when
the officers descended.
As Gloria sat in the wagon clinging
to Royce's arm and shivering with
shame, a blowzy female with a long
feather in her hat leaned over and
plucked her by the sleeve. Gloria
WINGED. The crone laughed and said:
"Don't give your really truly name,
dearie."
Gloria blushed q little deeper, but
she was thankful for the hint, and said
so. She advised Royce to do the same,
and she sat about trying to imagine
a good non de patrol wagon.
1t was wasted energy for, though
she didn't know 1t, she was going right
back to the night court she came from
going as a guest and not as a spec
tator. At that moment the police wires
were notifying Judge Freeman that a
raid had been made and a load of pris-
oners was coming. The courtroom was
empty. The attendants were yawning.
The judge was sentencing a young
pickpocket. He dismissed court, rose
and went to- his retiring room.
Gloria's father was there, impatiently
looking at his watch and wondering
where on earth his daughter was. He
