death as he had been in life. Neither
Gloria nor her own husband, David,
could ever take him from her now.
Lois went to her dressing table, took
from a locked drawer her open bag,
and drew from it the silver-framed
photograph of F'reneau that she had
stolen from Gloria. Staring at it long
ingly she kissed it, then, pausing with
anxious jealousy, lifted it from its

back

they struck her in the face. Then, turn

bursting into dry sobs and misery.
She was interrupted by a knock at
the door and the warning voice of her
maid: Miss Stafford is calling mad

Lois was startled. She rose and
slipped the photograph between two
volumes in book rack on table and
called to her maid: "Show Miss Stat

Rushing to her dressing table, she
hastily ran a powder puff over her
face and brushed back her hair.
When she turned it was to confront
Gloria clad in heavy mourning. For
moment the sight of the Grape stung
Lois to jealous frenzy; next she deter
mined to make some excuse to wear
black herself. She felt that she had
a better right to mourning than Gloria
had.
Advancing, she kissed GIoria's cool
cheek mumbling: "How are you, dear;
Do you think you ought to be out on

NINTH EPISODE
The Shadow of Scandal

Pitiful fate played on Gloria. She
had ordered her wedding gown while
she was dangerously i'll. But now her
bridegroom would not appear. The
newspapers said that he was drowned
In the lower bay. She believed she had
seen him. throttled to death on River
side drive, and her mourning was EN-
FILTERED with doubt.
At such an incongruous moment the
little bridal gown came home from the
dressmaker's to torture her with its
beauty and it's futile intent. Gloria was
in her bedroom, looking out of her
window at the fateful monument be-
low, living over again the scene of the
murder.
With the pathetic droop of her head,
and her arms hanging at her sides, and
the long lines of her gown sweeping
about her inert, almost lifeless form,
she stood like a Tanagra figure of
grief. Poor little SOUL she was just
entering the real world of womanhood
when the grim arms of tragedy infold-
ed her! 1t was her first great sorrow.
Her old nurse came toward her.
Gloria moved, gave a little moan of
horror, and ran to put her head on the
nurses breast, sobbing out her pent-up
agony.

'There, there, Miss Gloria" the
nurse importuned her. ''Try to keep
your mind off your loss as much as you
can. Think of your father and your
brother and how much they need you.

A knock was heard at the door and
the nurse went to it to admit Doctor
Royce. His heart contracted with
quick pain at sight Of his idolized pa

chair and made brave effort to stife

women eyed each other with con-
straint. Neither wished to speak first
of Freneau. Gloria noted the haggard
mien of Lois with wonderment. Cast
ing about for something to say, she
fumbled with the books on the rack.
The picture of Freneau fell out.
The blood pounded in Gloria's heart
and spread quick flush over her face
as she picked it up. She turned it over
and read the inscription. She asked
bewilderedly: How did this come
here?r
Lois, controlling herself with diff.
Guilty, tried to speak.
"Was it you, then, who stole it from
my room?" Gloria hurled the question
with set lips and glittering eyes.
With a desperate inspiration Lois
explained. "Yes, / stole it. l was go.
ing to surprise you with it. And then
he died"
Gloria was touched, and believed as
impulsively as she had suspected
Throwing her arms about Lois, she
embraced her. "Thank you, dear; IL
was wonderful of you to think of that.
You are so very thoughtful. l must
go now" She slipped into her coat
in spite of the protests of Lois, and
left her. She took the photograph with
her, and Lois dared not protest.
Far away in Colorado town lived
a woman who after all was most to be
affected by Richard Freneau's death,
for she had given him more than Clio
ria with her young girls heart or Lois
with her guilty love. She had given
him BIRTH
In quaint, old-fashioned sitting
room the venerable, sweet woman was
sitting in rocking chair before the
fire. On her mantel were portraits of
Freneau as child and as man. She
put down her knitting and rose with
some difficulty. Clinging to the man.
tel, she took down one of the photo
graphs and turning it, read in the
beloved handwriting: "To my darling
mother from her adcr,ng son, Dick"
She kissed the photograph and car

mother ran through eagerly. Find

ing focused on you. The police would
swarm the house. demand all your ptf
waite correspondence with Freneau. If
you refused them anything they would
use force and l should be powerless to
help you. And what the police get the

and your sorrow given over to the Cos
sips? Now do you see why we cannot
set the machine in motion? l have only
one desire, to protect your reputation.
If you want to protect Freneaus, you
will keep silence. Promise?"
Gloria was convinced, at least for
the moment. She nodded her head in
obedience, kissed her fathers cheek,
patted him absent-mindedly and left
him. But once alone again she burned
with resentment at the plan to shield
the murderer of her lover. She re-
spected her fathers dread of publicity
and she shared his hatred of publicity,
but she would not relinquish her de-
mand for justice. She realized, how
ever, that she would have no help now
in her hunt for the murderer. But
this only strengthened her determina-
ton. Alone she would unravel the Sc
cret knot and bring the guilty to pun
ishment.
Meanwhile Lois, in her own passion
ate way, was suffering also, but. her
suffering was tinged with a certain
amount of horrible satisfaction. Death,
instead of Gloria, had taken Freneau
from her. Gloria could not claim one
smallest part of him from her now. He
had never cared one atom for Gloria !;
he had told her so. 1t was for financial
reasons alone that he had intended to
marry Gloria, hut she could not buy
him now. Freneau had been struck
down in his youth and strength by

ing none from Dick, she shook her fin
ger reprovingly but affectionately at
the photograph she then leaned back
in her chair to glance carelessly over
the paper.
Almost Immediately her eyes lighted
on the headlines announcing her sons
death, with a hint of suicide. The
shock of the news almost killed the
mother; for she was old and Dick was
her only child and she knew only the
good side of him. The evil that he
wrought in the world was mercifully
kept from her.
The maid, hearing her moan, ran
out Of the house and summoned the
doctor who was caring for her. He saw
that her disease was the incurable one
that mothers are often prey to, the
loss of their children. There was nc
remedy for this in the doctors books
and the only help he could give was
to answer her one remaining wish that
her sons body should be brought home
to be buried in the family plot where
his father lay and where she hoped
soon to rest.
The doctor telegraphed the mothers
request to Freneau's partner Frank
Mulry, who took steps at once to
comply.
Thus it was that Gloria was de.
prived even of the sad satisfaction OF
following her lover to the grave. Her
chief enemies were those who loved
her best, Stephen Royce and her own
father. They would do everything
they could to thwart her. When she
learned of his mothers wishes her first
impulse was to go to Colorado herself,
but that impulse she quickly put aside;
for her most important duty was to
find his murderer, and that search she
must start at once.
Pierpont Stafford felt a deep resent.
ment against the world for it's treat
ment of his children. He had won and
held a position of power in the finan
cial world. He had made millions of
dollars and he controlled more, yet
his son Was married to a worthless
woman and his daughter mourned the

NEW DISEASE is ANNOUNCED
From the Strain Of Working Too Hard
Comes angina of Effort"
Pain.

The rush of modern life has pro-
duced new disease, greatly increasing
in extent and especially prevalent
among doctors, teachers, clergymen
lawyers and other men Of affairs, OBJ
serves the Philadelphia Bulletin.
DR.. Oliver S. Haines, who announced
the new ailment, calls it 'angina of
effort" In plain English that means
sudden shooting pain under your
breastbone because you're working too
hard.
If, at the age OF so, you find your
self unable to walk q city blGck with.
out a pain, you probably have "angina
of effort" 1t comes from having lived
too hard and sometimes from an tan.
tagonistic attitude toward the prob.
lens of life"
No happy-g o-lucky ever gets it.
Those who have been obsessed by love
of power, love Of struggle, or who
harbor exaggerated ideas of their
rights and privileges usually do.
Everybody who gets angina Of effort"
dies a sudden death, usually ascribed
to gastritis, according to DR.. Gaines.
Deadly, corked up venom, brought
on by mental conflict with the prevail.
ing ideas, becomes a toxin, he says,
which gives rise to q pain that radi-
ates into every part Of the body. Neu-
ralgia, rheumatism and similar aches
may be symptoms Of it.
You can best be cured by slowing
down, DR.. Haines thinks, and by modi-
flying the war spirit which, he says,
you carry into every day life If you
don't slow down, you're doomed.
For certain temperaments DIR.
Haines announced more specific RENE
dies. The victim Of "Old Man Con-
science" who worries over unimport-
ant details, and cannot sleep at night
because of the passionate and harsh
way he has treated his family during
the day, ought to be given a potash
preparation.
For the emotional idealist who dis
solves readily into tears-"at the NOV
les, for instance or the theater," DR..
Haines said-treatment by oxalic acid
is the cure. The prey of suicidal de-
sires is about hopeless in DIR. Haines'
estimation, but he recommends aurum
for trial.

but food was distasteful to her, and,
dropping into reverle again, she
seemed to see Freneau as she had so
often seen him, enter the room and
greet her.
Again the vision became almost
real; 1t was as If he put his arms
about her and embraced her, then her
eyes fell to her left hand, which their
engagement ring had adorned, and its
nakedness rebuked her. She seemed
to see the look of anguish and re-
proach ON Freneau's face as he took
account of its absence.
She put her hands before her face.
Pierpont looked up anxiouslys then
went to her side. She shivered with
chill. 'I'm sorry, daddy, to spoil your
