ing it any place in his thoughts, and
termed his mind to Gloria-the be-
witching girlwonan to whom on the
morrow he would tender his heart
and hand, for all that they might BIO
worth.
Meanwhile Gloria herself, tired be-
yold words. her pretty right hand stin
from the endless shaking Of other
hands at her reception, her tiny feet
weary OF their satin slippers and her
ears tingling still with the buzz OF
compliments poured into them, was
ocstatic as a f~ull-aedged birding after
Its first long fight.
The last of the guests departing, she
threw her arms about her fathers
neck and gave him a resounding kiss.
Swinging her feet free OF the floor,
she kicked of her slippers. Then

where they might send her crackers
and milk for her dinner before she
toppled of to sleep?
They laughed through their own
WEAKNESS as Gloria, gathering up her
cast-away footwear, proceeded to
drag herself up the staircase, bent far
over in imitation OF an ancient cripple.
Reaching hor room, she
screamed Justify to Burroughs, her
English maid, to run a hot bath for
her, and for goodness sake to get her
out Of her wreck Of dress. AS Bur-

tasks Gloria hummed the aloha Oe"

FIFTH EPISODE
The Gathering Storm.

Daughters ere dangerous charges,
Pierpont," said Judge Freeman. The
two elderly men stood watching the
dance which was in full swing at
the coming-out party OF Gloria Stat
ford. The men were related to each
other by marriage-the marriage OF
Stafford's son David and Freeman's
daughter Loi5-whatever relations
that made them.
Pierpont Stafford nodded a worried
assent to the judges statement and,
turning his eyes reluctantly from the
grace aid charm of his own girl, who
was dancing with an almost lyric po-
etry of motion, EMBODIED in the arms
of Richard Freneau, Pierpont looked
Tor Judge Freeman's girl, Lois, to find
q specific cause for the judges dole
fdi remark. What he saw puzzled
him considerably. Ho saw Lois, not
dancing, but watching Gloria and Ere
neau. There was q look of unmistak-
able jealousy and helpless rage on her
lace He saw his son David speak to
her and put his hand on her arm, only
30 have her shake him of and move
away into the crowd.
Pierpont felt suddenly terribly
AFRAID for his sons honor, and a gnaw-
ing ache in his heart for Lois IA

two men to discuss-yet.

tho car drove in. They changed their
excited barks to yelps of welcome as
they recognized Gloria. But she left
them d~isconsolate, for a groom brought
up from the stable yard her shaggy po-

sleigh.
As she stopped to pet the noses OF
the ponies Freneau lost for a moment

her delicate pink blonde curls escap-
ing from the little fur-trimmed hat.
With this palatial background,
among the obsequious attendants, she
stood, more than ever for him, the
embodiment of power,-youth, beauty,
wealth. What had he to offer in
exchange for that worldly trinity?
Spoiled by women as he was he felt
that however sincerely he wanted this
slip OF a girl-wanted her moro than
he had aver wanted anyone else in his
life-she might elude him.
Gloria turned to him with a bright
smile, and seeing the look Of adora-
ion in his eyes, blushed an wen
deeper -ose than she had been wear
ing.

If we are to get our sleigh ride" she
said. THE days are so short now;

Right" Freneau answered eager
iy as he helped her into the sleigh.
The ponies were champing at the
bits and jingling the bells and waving |
the pompons on their heads with
every impatient movement. Gloria
stepped into the drivers seat (she was
going to drive them herself, wise
girl) and Freneau snatched the sa-
BILE robe from the hands Of a groom, |
saw that her little feet were In place

they passed the lodge door. She felt
the thrill Of being a runaway once
more, and she was glad that her IA
ther was not present to thrust a chap
eron upon them.
Out into the road and off they went,
youth, health, and Joy Of life in their
veins; love in their hearts. The po-
MES pranced and cavorted, somewhat
too strenuously, Freneau feared, un-
til he realized how skillfully Gloria's
hands were in handling them. On
they glided merrily, chatting of the
big nothings Of young love, Gloria
pointing out paths and places of in

only as they were mirrored in her
eyes, since he could not bear to turn
away from her lest he lose one feet

After several miles of "up hill and
down dale" Gloria turned her ponies
or the main road into one less used.
"I'm taking you to the dearest old
fashioned farmhouse, where we can
have tea and the nummiest apple but
ter you ever tasted. Shall you like IT,"
Il shall like anything and every
thing in this world, so long as / have
1t with you" Freneau breathed ear
nestly.
Then that's all right" chirruped
Gloria, happily. You shall most
certainly have this tea with me, and
I'm famished."
When they reached the farmhouse,
which called itself an inn. the plump
landlady greeted Gloria with pleased
recognition and ushered them into the
parlor, saying that she would hasten
with their tea and bring the table to

tress in a dressing gown. And Gloria
went, still humming, to her bath.
In the midst of the splashing. while
Burroughs was Strengthening the
dressing room, she heard: 20 Bur-
roughs, do you think my new fur-lined
driving coat looks very good on me?"
"Yes, miss. I do, indeed" answered
Burroughs, surprised at the apparent
irrelevance Of the question.

After this Gloria was silent.
She hoped hurriedly into bed from

milk like a good child, smiling every
now and then at her own thoughts.
Then she told Burroughs to put out
her lights and not allow her to be
disturbed.
You see, Burroughs, I'm . society

BUTTER GRADING
i a PRACTICAL NEED

r. N. Washburn, Of the dairy divi-
|siDn, University Farm, says there is
just as much need Of grading and
standardizing butter as there is Of
standardizing other agricultural pro-
ducts, and that grading will help butter
just as much as it has helped other
products.
Grading can be done best near the
point Of production, adds Mr.. Wash
burn. This would mean the establish
ing OF two or three grading stations at
easily accessible points in Minnesota.
Every creamery in the state makes
| Its own brand Of butter different from
the brand Of other creameries. In
order to get the best prices the products
should be standardized. This could be
done at grading stations. In Canada
and other countries, butter is graded
and the graded butter brings in an
average of one cent more pound In
1915, Minnesota produced 126,OOO,OOO
pounds Of butter Worth$36 100000. At
one cent more pound, the return
would be increased by $1,26O,00O.
At the creamery mems conference to
be held at University Farm, ST. Paul,
January 3 and 4, men will be present
who know butter-grading, and the sub
ject will be discussed.
